Decide whether or not it is true.
If you said Yes then you pass

But you passed a test if you believe everything you see.

Modes of Discourse

1. It was the last week of November, the day was Thursday. It was Thanksgiving, the day of amazing food. I woke up to the smell of a 25 pound turkey already in the roaster for over two hours. I waited for six torturous hours for my favorite meal of the year; I wanted to sneak in and grab some, but, I waited knowing it would be better in the end. I waited and waited until finally i heard the call for dinner. Turkey, Gravy, Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin pie, and all of my favorites sat at the table. We waited for everyone to sit down, said a prayer, and started to dig in. 40 minutes later we all laid around with our bellies full of good food and fell to sleep.

2. There are many different kinds of food: there is vegetables, fruits, meats, grain, dairy, fats and oils. Although most of these are pretty straight forward, there are some kinds of food that a lot of people have no idea which category they are in. Tomatoes are a vegetable/fruit that nobody really knows what it is.

3.food is any substance that can be metabolized by and animal to give energy and build tissue. "The Food" is the first single by rapper Common released on his sixth album Be. Food could be anything on earth, and is connected to a huge energy chain; sun gives plants food, animals eat plants, we eat animals, we die and our body goes into ground and gives nutrients to the ground where plants can grow, and the cycle continues.

4. 50% of U.S pizzas are sold with pepperoni on them.Bananas aren't fruit! They are a type of herb.Canola oil is actually rapeseed oil but the name was changed for marketing reasons!Heineken beer is designed to 'foam' for exactly five minutes.In Spain, it is common to pour chocolate milk on cereal for breakfast.Pretzels were originally invented for Christian Lent.Strawberries have more vitamin c than oranges.To burn off one plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.A company in Taiwan makes dinnerware out of wheat, so you can eat your plate!Chewing on gum while cutting onions can help a person from producing tears.It takes 100 pounds of rain water to produce a single pound of food from the earth.The average American/Canadian will eat about 11.9 pounds of cereal per year!A coffee tree yields about one pound of coffee in a year.
It takes about a week to make a jelly bean.Coca-Cola was the first soft drink to be consumed in outer space. Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave. A pound of potato chips costs 200 times more than a pound of potatoes.Coconuts kill more people in the world than sharks do; Approximately 150 people are killed each year by coconuts.It takes up to four hours to hard boil an ostrich egg.Nachos is the food most craved by pregnant women.15 million gallons of wine were destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

5. Hot Juicy steak siting right in front of you. You dive in and devour the scrumptious food. You feel the cold, sweet, wet coca-cola running down you throat, refreshing you as it reaches your stomach. The dry, grainy, bread was tough to swallow because of its sourness. The m+m's were deliciously sweet, and made me very happy when I poured them onto the freezing cold, chocolate-chip, cookie dough ice cream mixed with cookies and cream ice cream.

6. Although some people think energy the same thing as food they are different. Food can give you energy, but energy isn't always food. For example, sleeping gives you energy but you cannot eat sleep, you can enjoy it, but not eat. Energy is in everything and can be transfered. Much like food transferring energy to our bodies, but, we cannot eat all things that have energy. We could not eat metal, and all those things nobody would ever eat that have energy.

7. Food is something that fuels our minds and helps us succeed in the world. Food is something that is a basic need, everyone wants it. Food is how we are able to get our pets to do what we want them to. Food can also be "evil" some people are against eating certain types of food, vegans can not eat anything that is made, or comes from an animal. Vegetarians can only eat foods that do not include meat.

8. I think food is good for you and your body, and I believe that people should be required to eat as a normal person, by having no food restriction or your diet. For example: you can eat whatever you want there is no requirements. I think this could possibly make people healthier by opening up all types of foods that your body needs nutrients from and will make you more healthy.

Blog #4

That is how i looked the time I was when I was in target with my mom and i was only a little lad. And I got lost during that small amount of time I was there. An employee came along and asked me if I was lost and i said yes. So i went to there office and he asked me what my name was. I answered BooBoo. BooBoo was my nickname when I was younger and my siblings still came me boo right now. I was very confused on this day because I was lost, I had no idea who anyone was, and I was just plain, old confused where i was. Eventually my mom picked me up a week later... Just kidding, she realized I was gone and heard the announcement and we were reunited. Although I cannot recall what employee helped me out, or what part of the store i was in but i do know that I was very confused. My mom obviously told me to never do that again and that she was so scared, what every mother would say to there child in this situation.

Another moment I was confused is when my family went to French park. We were all having fun on the ropes and enjoying our game of tag, when all the sudden my mom came to me and asked where Zachary, my little brother, was. I replied with a no. My mom said OK and walked away. I was very confused were my little brother was. Being as young as i was I forgot about it and went back to playing on the ropes. 15 minutes after that my mom came over again telling me that my little brother was lost. I simply replied OK, and went back to playing. Only then did i realize, what if he was captured by aliens? What if the boogeymonster ate him? What if evil leprechaun ninjas came and kidnapped him? I immediately began searching for my comrade, I ran through the rope park searching for Zach. I also saw my 5 siblings running around looking for him too. It had been over 10 minutes, if this wasn't my brother I would have given into defeat. But, it was my brother so i kept looking. I finally saw my mom seating there with my little brother and an park employee, except Zach had ice cream! What is this? He goes and gets lost, and then he ice cream? How disappointing, I was so confused at that moment. After my confusion started to die down I came up with my own little plan of getting lost and getting ice cream. So I started my plan, but in the distance I heard my parents yell its time to go home. Scared I would get left behind and die of starvation or worse evil leprechaun ninjas I sprinted to the car, and went home. Gosh, I was very confused at the end of the day.

Personal Narrative about me being confused.

That is how i looked the time I was when I was in target with my mom and i was only a little lad. And I got lost during that small amount of time I was there. An employee came along and asked me if I was lost and i said yes. So i went to there office and he asked me what my name was. I answered BooBoo. BooBoo was my nickname when I was younger and my siblings still came me boo right now.

Another story where i was very confused was when I was fishing with just my dad. I casted my line out and it went a little too far into the weeds. For five minutes i sat there trying to reel in, but my line was stuck in some weeds. My dad kept fishing and finally I pulled it out of the weeds to see a giant fish jump out of the water! I started to reel it in, being so young it was a tough fight. I finally got it near the boat and I told my dad, "get the net, get the net." He looked around and it was not to be found, we left it at the cabin thinking we were fishing for sunfish. My dad reached into the water to try to grab the fish, and it had gotten loose never to be seen again by me.

What makes something funny.

A man walks into a bar.... hahaha. Jokes are all around us that make us laugh. Is it the irony of the joke that makes us laugh? A particular event that I found funny was when my friend was dancing really funny. I thought that was funny because of the pure stupidity of the dance.

Another event that I found funny is when my got really drunk and it was funny because of the stupidity again. There are many reasons why people laugh. Some people laugh because things are ironic, some laugh because of stupidity. While other people laugh because the subject is icky and gross, and that makes it funny. A different event that i found funny was when my brother told a joke about three men on an island. And they found a Genie and the Genie told them if they stick 10 fruit up there butt he grant them any and all wishes. And one by one they come back and the second starts laughing because the other guy came back with pinneapples!

There is a lot of different humor and everybody thinks different things are funny. It all depends on the person and how they grew up. It also depends what kind of friends you hang out with, for example, people who like computers might think computer jokes are more funny. Because everyone's sense of humor is different it is hard to tell what makes somthing funny.

#1 The Benefits of writing

Writing benefits many things. One of the things writing benefits is strengthening your hand, that is very important in your life in case you got robbed. Writing also can benefit you because you are able to put your thoughts on paper. By doing this you can also make sure you don't lose your ideas. Also by writing your thoughts you can look at them later and get ideas for a new story.


Writing can also vent your emotions and express how you feel, even if nobody reads it. Not only can you express yourself you will become a better writer by writing more often. Writing also enable you to meet new people in yourself. These new people have different emotions that come from your inner self. I also believe writing can bring back memory's that you previously did not remember. Writing benefits yourself because the more you write the better you get at it the more highly people think of you. For example, if you write an amazing college letter they will think you smart. If you write a grammatically error free email to your co-workers they won't think your dumb.

As you can see writing is very beneficial not only to yourself and your mind but to everyone else people in work will use your papers as examples and be able to write better papers and the company become better. So there are many reason why writing is beneficial, but they are all equally important
