Last week was one of the busiest weeks of my life. I had a bunch of history assignments I had to do.My Spanish teacher gave me 8 assignments in the span of 2 days. I had vocabulary and reading time and I had 3 test. I had baseball practice and games. I also didn't get enough sleep.
So this week is going to be great because I'm going to a friend's house. I'm going to get more sleep and I'm going to parades that involves a lot of candy. I'm going to the batting cage and practice on my outfield drills to improve my game. If I don't do those things, the basketball court is right down the street plus I have a weight set in my garage. My break is completely scheduled.

Analyze the Song
In "Umbrella"by Rihanna, she uses a lot of literary devices that involves sound patterns and rhymes. In stanza 3, she uses assonance when she uses "higher,weather,better". She uses metaphor when she says "cause in the dark, you can't see shiny cars". The use of consonance in the song,too. The use of repetition is used when she says "you can stand under my umbrella".
The techniques contributed to the effect of the song by making it a love song that shows simile and repetition. The tone is an excited, emotional voice. The theme of the song is to stay together even if there is hardships during the way. The purpose of this song is to love each other and stay with each other.

poem
Food is like the feeling when you hit a walk off homerun,
The crunching noises of chips when your teeth crush them into little pieces.'
Food dances when it sees my face,
food is the reason one of the most important things in the human race.
My stomach begins to roar when they see the tastiness of food,
my stomach cries when there is no more.
Sometimes, I dream of food like I dream of going to the Baseball Hall of Fame,
sometimes I think it will take a long time for me to eat.
But that's ok,
because I will treat food like my best friend.

Vocabulary
Tom was about to buy cookies at the store. After she put the cookies in the bag, the cashier patronizes him. Tom went to the manager's office to report the lady and it turned out the lady was fired. The manager speculated the man did something else to the cashier while the altercation occurred. He went to the video cameras and found Tom threw the cookies and and also censured her because of her slow way to put the cookies in the bag. The manager thought of a good way to get Tom back.
The manager called the cashier back and told her that she got her job back and was inducted to assistant manager. She asked her to get the cookies and asked him to come back. She apologized and she said he could have the cookies for free.She put the cookies in the bag faster and said have a nice day. Then he got arrested for "stealing the cookies".

Research
The two things I learned about Nelson Mandela and the apartheid was that the separation of racial societies in South Africa resulted in police brutality and the imprisonment that lasted 27 years. In June of 1976, a group of schoolchildren were protesting, which
resulted in the many deaths. The government also placed blacks outside of South Africa to separate them from the white society. The apartheid resulted in hundreds of deaths and multiple protest that lead blacks to jail.
I have a few problems that seems to me that affects my paper. It seems my paper could be more in depth with woman rights and education for blacks. I think I need to learn more on embedding quotations because I am going to include more quotes stated by Mandela. I also have problems with repeating the same information and how bad inequality was in South Africa.

Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian: Entry 2
In ATDOAPTI, Arnold has moved to a different school named Reardan. He describes this school as "racist", stated on page 56. As an opportunity to become the first person from the rez to go to college, he deals with different task such as getting a fight with Roger and racial jokes from classmates that includes "chief and red-skin", stated on page 63. I feel bad for him because he dealt with those comments most of the time at Reardan. He beats up Roger because of the racial comments he said towards Indians and blacks. He beats him up with one punch and shocks his classmates. It seems he gained more confidence and physical contact because of his close friend, Rowdy.
He also explains his way to get to school such as hitchhiking. He is Dad's car breaking down and/or not getting picked up from home to go to school. I feel bad because he has a difficult way to get to school and has parents that don't have a great amount of money to feed him and themselves. He also have weird conversations with people at his school. I notice he uses a lot of harsh language and sexual comments throughout his diary.
