vocabulary words



guerrilla- Colombia reminds me of the word guerrilla, because that country is constantly at war each other. The people that live there already, against the government and soldiers. The soldiers try to occupy many parts of the land, and have to make their own guerrillas so that they can win. And most of the time they recruit small little boys to train for the war and how to use the weapons.

vocabulary words


tranquility -I chose this picture because the sunset at the beach or ocean is a very calm and relaxing view. many people take a stroll along the beach to relieve stress or to just get away from all things in the city or their busy life. It brings most people at peace.

stereotype


stereotype -For this word I chose this picture of a blonde barbie doll, because it is a very common stereotype people use for blonde girls. It is very common misconception that blonde girls are very ditsy, don't have much common sense, don't really have an actual personality; pushovers, and easy with guys. But in reality there isn't a such thing as a"dumb blonde" because many girls can fit that description with out being blonde. They can be any color or any race, its just an assumption made by some people when they see blonde girls.




CREATIVE WRITING



The lady in turn in 997:
Marge Walker, was coming from her interview in the company of Bank Of America, which is where the main building is for the whole country. she was applying to be accountant their, but her appointment was at 1:00 PM, and got there not until 1:48 PM which made a bad impression on her when they were judging her skills of being a pro-active person. Marge currently lives with her daughter that has 3 kids all around the age of 1-3. So all day she is annoyed by everything, and can't stand young children or people that are modern. After contemplating the whole way in the bus about her interview; she gets off at the subway station and remembers while swiping her transfer card that she has to pick up her car at the shop in 20 minutes. And has to get out the business card of the car shop to call them before they close. It almost gave her an anxiety attack when she thought she forgot were her cellphone in the office, and had to take out everything from her purse. But all that stress caused her to forget that it was in her pocket the whole time. That day before she was yelling at her daughter that she doesn't raise her kids right, and backed up into a fire post. Thankfully her insurance covered it, but only at a car shop half way across the town.
