5 Things that Make up a Perfect School

To me, a perfect school must have good students, good staff and faculty, good parents, good administrators, and a good campus. Schools are made for students. But the school depends on the students if it wants to be good and show that its good. Students will make up that part. However, if parents are conservative and want to keep money to themselves, the school will find it difficult to progress and expand and provide the best possible education for the students so the parents must participate. However, it is the faculty that helps the students. Even if the students have good attitudes, it is the teachers that will help the students go far because teachers have been known to have a great influence over students such as Ms. Padachie and if teachers teach the students well, the school’s reputation is also boosted as well. The admins are the ones that will run the school and make it as efficient and clean as possible for the students to not be distracted and focus. Finally, the campus can provide a clean and welcoming place for students to socialize and learn.

Theme of Charles

In the story Charles, there were a few themes but they related to each other. The theme of honesty of children come in. Children often are very sneaky and have many ways to deceive you. They don’t like to be frank. They make up many different ways to hide themselves from the crime. Also, another theme that appears showing children is that children want attention and they will try any possible way to get you to notice. For parents, it is important that when sometimes, when you try to find out the wrong problem and can’t find it, often times it lies on you. Also, it is important not to believe everything your child tells you. There is also another part of honesty. When you lie, you will eventually get caught. Also, don’t always do what someone else tells you to do. When Charles told the little girl to say it, she did it without hesitation. Sometimes, you must think first.

My Ideal Teacher

My Ideal Teacher is a teacher who is truly willing to help children/teenagers or anyone learn, whether it’s in a classroom or helping someone out with the ATM. The teacher occasionally can joke around but most of the time must be serious and strict so that students actually learn, instead of talking and chatting and do whatever-you-wants. The teacher must exercise discipline but also must allow students to have a chance to speak. He/She must not have a monotonous and same voice throughout or else it’ll be drown the class with boredom. Instead, the teacher must have a pleasant and interesting voice. The teacher must also be creative, having students do projects that show that they understand the topic. The teacher must also be willing to explain concepts, unless, that is, the students are in college or the teacher has explained for 20 times or more. The teacher must not be prejudiced towards students. They should give all children the same respect and thoroughly put aside their biases for race, gender, and other. The teacher should also be a person that can be trusted with students’ secrets or problems. In a word, the teacher is a friend. The teacher must show the students to a new world and different insights.

I have a “connection” with my violin. It’s important to me because it is an object I get to put my feelings into when I play. In a computer game, you only feel adrenaline and excitement, only slight feelings of frustration and surprise. However, with a violin, you get to play and when you’re sad, you just play sad by making the song go smooth with tons of vibrado. When you’re anger, you play fast and hard, stroking the bow hardly up and down and sometimes, you may even move your body with it. It affects my life by allowing me to release and cope with my pressure. If I was to give me violin a name, I would give it the name of Earth inspired by the best violin in the world, the Soil Stradivarius. Because the violins’s name is Soil, I would make a name similar to it which would be Earth. Here is my Tribute to my Violin.
In my house, the magic comes when the case is opened. The whispering music springs into action, flooding the house with wonder. The bow dances with the strings the violin holds the bow as they dance like the waves of the sea. The violin is an angel; it plays nice and soft, with light steps. The violin is a demon; it plays heavily with its strong staccato and long pressed strokes. The violin is a car; it speeds along with its trios and 16th notes. The violin is a box of wood, with glue, and strings. Yet it flows and plays like a stream. It is filled with a magical desire to fly, to take sounds, and to show its feelings. Its soul doesn’t stop. It continues to fly to the end of eternity.

If someone told me that their best friend was a computer, I wouldn’t be too surprised. That statement could tell me that the person was anti-social and depressed. I could infer that he probably is quite alone and doesn’t have a lot of friends. I would also think that the person is weird and has psychological problems if he/she were serious. I would also guess that person isn’t happy in his life and is very annoyed at people and is very snappy. At school, he might be very reserved and nervous. He would be extremely dull and doubtful person which is why he doesn’t really have friends. The person would be gloomy and grouchy. He/She would be a very stubborn person. The person could also be a very lazy, insolent, and rude person. Finally, I would think the person is overweight since he’ll probably spend too much time at the computer.

When I was young, I had often been underestimated and many people would say that I couldn’t do something. For instance, when I was in 1st grade, I went to a rock-climbing place. The walls stretched extremely high up. My cousin said that he knew I couldn’t climb the medium sized one because I was a coward and that I was weak. His words and disbelief motivated me to show him that I could. Slowly, rock after rock I climbed and pulled myself up and rang the bell. When I came back down, he looked at me and snorted.
He said, “That took you so long.”
I replied back, “You didn’t mention time.”
Another example was when my mom took my other cousin and me to a “cold” store. I saw a claw machine and I wanted to try. I asked my mom but she said no because they were probably rigged. I promised her just once with 10 NT. With that chance, I managed to get one toy out and I proved it to her. It felt good that you proved someone wrong and that you could get back at them and make them be quiet.

The one time I had incorrectly jumped to a conclusion about someone that I remember most memorably was in last year. A new student named Ashley came to our class. Judging from his funny British accent and annoying jokes he made, I had immediately but erroneously had believed that he would be a horrible person and an impossible person to be with. However, I am not sure of anyone jumping to a conclusion about me. But I do know what the situation felt like. It was very embarrassing of me that I felt ever so confident while I was completely wrong. It felt that the whole Earth and its people were crushing me down like everyone’s eyes just stared me to death. Unfortunately, the mistake was not corrected. From that experience, I have learned to not judge people all of a sudden but slowly and learn about them.

To make a scary setting in a story, I would make the room small and dark, filled with little stuffed animals staring at you intently. I would also make the door and floor creak. I would make the wind outside blow softly. I would make the room seem dusty and leaves hustling on the inside. Outside the room, the weather would be gloomy.

Here is a paragraph composed of the details above:
David Goldlen walked inside of the room. Clearly, the room hadn’t been used for a long time. It was dusty and the lights didn’t work properly. As he slowly stepped across the room, the old wooden boards began to creak because the mice had eaten away parts of the boards. Suddenly, the wind outside began to slowly howl and the leaves began to hustle. The skies began to turn gray and dark , threatening to destroy David. The lights inside began to flicker as a door from a closet swung open and fell. The stuffed animals on the shelves seemed to stare at David.

Over many years, many scary movies have been made. Dracula, SAW, Final Destination, all many popular movies. However, the scariest I have ever seen in my entire life was not The Blog or Resident Evil. Instead, it is a very simple children’s movie. Honestly, many people don’t think it scary but going into another world and seeing people with buttoned eyes and getting stuck there forever seems kinda scary. The story begins with a girl named Coraline Jones. She moves to a place called Pink Palace Apartments. Because her parents are busy making a catalog, she feels alone and abandoned. She meets Wyborn, the grandson of the landlady. He finds a doll that looks exactly like Coraline and gives it to her. When she goes home, she finds a small door. However, when opened, she only finds a brick wall. That night, when Coraline was awakened by mice that came through the door. However, this time, the door wasn’t covered by the brick wall, but a long corridor leading to the other side. There she meets the Other Father and Mother. However, the Other Mother and Father have buttons sewn on to them. The next morning, she finds herself in her bed. She meets her neighbors who warn her that she is in danger. It happens for a few nights until one night, the Other Mother doesn’t let Coraline “leave”. I won't spoil the ending for yours to watch, but gee, just writing this makes me remember how frightened I was.
