What I Know…. I know what it’s like to have a twin sister. I have a twin sister named Cheyene that is annoying. We usually fight and argue, but we also have fun. Even though she is annoying, I wouldn’t trade her for anything….(maybe 20 bucks).

Having a twin sister means, compition. Everything we do is a compition. Last year we had a competition to see who can get the better grades. Of course ms perfect won and receive the prize of $100. Other competitions we have had are who can scare whose friends. This is the competition I excel at. Early In the morning I will go into her room and sit in the middle of the room wearing a ski mask. After about a minute I will scream everyone on the floor, and sure enough they will get so scared they fall to the floor.

Having a sister means prank wars. My sister and I prank each other all the time. Last week I buttered the kitchen floor so when she came in to get breakfast she would fall. That was the most hilarious thing I ever saw even though I ended up with a few slap marks. Yah my sister really isn’t a morning person. She has pranked me many times. She replaced the tooth paste with wasabi once….that sucked.

My sister and I have our ups and downs, but mainly it’s just extremely fun. Even thought a having a twin sister can sometimes be annoying, I wouldn’t change it for the world.


 * Who’s to blame…..[[image:larry width="171" height="168" align="right" caption="Larry King"]] **
 * Who’s to blame for the tragic murder of Larry king? The case of the Larry king murder is very complex. Many people can be to blame. I believe Larry is reliable for his death. He pushed a kid to his cracking point and he got revenge. **


 * There are many people to blame for the death of Larry king. Larry king was a very flamboyant boy, wearing stilettos and dresses to school. Was it his flamboyance that got him killed? It could also be the school to blame. The school didn’t take any action to stop or reduce the wearing of women’s clothes. It could be Brandon to blame. He’s the one that pulled the trigger. Is he white supremist? **


 * The young Larry king was murdered February 12, 2008. There were reasons for his death. Larry king was not your average middle [[image:brandon_mcinerney.jpg width="168" height="166" align="right" caption="Brandon"]]schooler. He came to school every day wearing stilettos and dresses. He occasionally went to school wearing pink boots that went up to his knee. He often used his sexuality as a weapon, harassing kids and embarrassing them. In the locker room he would look and boys and told them they wear hot while dressing. **


 * This murder of Larry king is very complex and complicated. Themurder could have been avoid if Larry wouldn’t of harassed Brandon. If Larry left Brandon alone he would not be under ground today. I think Larry is ultimately to blame for his own death. **

Kid Or Adult…. On February 12 2008 young Larry king was murdered by his fellow classmate Brandon mclnerney. Brandon took a gun to school and shot Larry king dead in the computer lab. I believe Brandon should be tried in juvenile court. Brandon mclnerney was 14 when he did the crime. Now hes 17 and being tried as an adult. It’s not right. Brandon is only a kid and dumb. He is immature and reacted in a dramatic way. But at 14 the part of the brain that help decision making, is not fully developed. Brandon is a kid with a temper problem and reacted on his emotion. I think Brandon can be rehabilitated. Brandon is just a kid and can easily form a new way to handle problems. Brandon is just a kid and should have another chance at life. Sure Brandon murdered Larry king but for a reason. Brandon was only 14. Brandon acted on his emotions not planned. Larry’s family obviously wants justice. But what if the shooter was Larry and the victim was Brandon. What would they want then? Fact is Brandon is just a kid coming from bad backgrounds. I believe Brandon should go to juvie for 11 years and get out when he’s 25. I believe Brandon can be rehabilitated. In conclusion Brandon acted on his emotions, it wasn’t planned. Brandon was humiliated and acted on his emotions. I believe Brandon should go to juevie not prison.


 * Photography….. **


 * Susan Sontag has a very bold statement, stating photos limit our knowledge. She believes everyone is addicted to these images and must have their daily fix. She says images are “mental pollution. I completely disagree 100%. I believe images teach us so much. **


 * Susan Sontag states text is important. I believe text has its place in the world but not nearly important as images. There is an upside to text, telling us why and how come. Susan Sontag states that we are all addicted to images and need our daily fix. I honestly do agree to this, every teenager looks at a screen for more than 4 hours a day. She states watching TV pollutes the mind. I agree up to an extent, you can[[image:sontag.jpg align="right" caption="Susan Sontag"]]also watch educational stuff to. **


 * Images are extremely important. Historical photos are a great example. They tell us about the past and let us understand what it was like back then. They help us imagine what it was like to be in the great depression or back when Africans Americans were slaves. If we didn’t have historical photos we would not know what it was like back then and what it was like to be there. Photos do something text cant and that’s, imagery. Photos put u back in time in a middle of a battle or back to the great depression. Many children would have lost their childhood if it wasn’t for Lewis Hives’ photos of children in factories. **


 * Nothing better proves my point than war photos. Thousands of photos of war tell us about great battles and great victories. War photos also show us how harsh the battles field can be. A good example is the holocaust. If it weren’t for the photos of the holocaust, we’d be in a [[image:aa_lange_power_2_e.jpe width="289" height="248" align="right"]]one right now. If it weren’t for the photos of strategy millions of more troops would die in battle. Photos help people better understand “what it would be like”. **


 * In conclusion, photos are the key to everything. Pictures bring emotion and a visual element which is key to every text. I believe pictures are more important then text. **

LOVE… What is love? Why does it exist? Some people say its all chemicals. Other people say it’s just our will to keep the species alive. Even though chemicals are a big part, love is not made by it. Love is from the soul. For the chemical point of view, love is nothing but chemicals. Testosterone is the male sex drug and estrogen being the females. Dopamine is released during intercourse and then later realesed when looking at the partner. The last chemical state of love is the oxytocin stage. Oxytocin is a drug that is realesed while in a long term relationship giving partners a well being or type of bond. From an evolutionary point of view, love is traced back to the cavemen days. Evolutionary anthropology states that love is when a man protects a woman during pregnancy. A man looks for a woman with large breast, small waist, and large hips as a sign of fertility and ability to raise a child. A women looks for a man with large muscles to defend of predators during pregnancy. From a more spiritual point of view, loves comes from the heart and soul. Love cannot be explained by chemicals. There are a lot of things chemicals can explain but at the same time they cannot explain things. For example marriage. What chemicals make you get married? If the chemical point of view was true it would be going against itself. If we are nothing more than dogs with many mates why do we dedicate ourselves with one? In conclusion, I believe love is more than chemicals and evolution. It is something from the soul and heart. Love is something u create not chems.

Now days more people are getting married by romantic marriages. Traditional arranged marriages still in effect but are not as common. When do you think is better? I believe romantic marriages are better because if you love someone you will stay with them forever.

Having a traditional arranged marriage has its adventures. In an arranged marriage most of the time a family/parent will pick the person for a marriage. Family knows you most. Family may pick a rich person for your parents are wiser and can make a better choice than you

Having a romantic marriage has its adventures. In a romantic marriage the people love each other. Someone once said marriage without love, is love without marriage. This states that if someone is not in love with their spouse then there will be cheating

I believe romantic marriages are the best. You get to choice that you want to spend the rest of your life with and you can also date before you have to marry them. In arranged marriages you don’t get to date them and see there personality and say that you don’t want to merry them. If you really love someone then you won’t get a divorce even thought divorce it raising it might be because of the economical times. If you like someone and they like you then you should marry them. Don’t just marry because you have to because your parents found a person with a lot of money. All they might be trying to do is get money and have you divorce him.

I think that arranged marriages are wrong and that you should be able to choice who you want to marry then be forced into an unlawful marriage. When you marry someone you don’t have felling for that why be married in the first place. I think that arranged marriage should be terminated and let the adults marry who they want to. Do you want your kid to be married to a crazy one eyed man eating women?

One Thing…. Mr. Geib assigned us a project to think of one thing that is most important in your life and write about it. I instantly knew what I wanted to write about. The one thing I can’t live without is my dirt bike. My dirt bike means everything to me. I acquired my first dirt bike when I was 4 years old. It was a little Yamaha 70 that my dad had bought me for my bday. This was the start of my life! Every day I would ride that dirt bike up and down my street. I bet I annoyed my neibors because my dad bought me a little horn that I honked non-stop. That thing was awesome, until the day I blew out the motor. I was only 6 and I put rubbing alcohol in the tank because I didn’t have gas. Later I acquired a Yamaha ttr 125. I got it on Christmas when I was 10 years old. This dirt bike was special to me. My cousin who was a motocross racer passed down his competition 125 dirt bike. This bike was so fast. The times I had on that bike. I took that bike to glamis, pismo, and Taft. I later wrecked that bike on the fourth of July, 2008. That day I got a broken collar bone and a broken wrist. The last bike I got was an yz 450. It’s a 2 stroke that runs like a badass. I got this bike on my birthday when I turned 16. This bike is the bike of my dreams. I ride it almost every weekend at Gorman. I currently race twice every month in a division 8 class. I’m also currently in 2nd place with 102 points. The leader, David knight, has 106 points and I’m down 1 win. In conclusion I love riding dirt bikes. Dirt bikes are my life and ill ride them till the day I die. Any day any were u can catch me riding a dirt bike.
