The American Dream Is When You Have Freedom And You Can Be With Friends And Family And Have A Great Life And Have Enough Money To Survive. I Believe That Dreams Has Changed By The Economy. Some Positives About Our Country is When Abraham Lincoln Freed The Slaves, The Army Fighting For Our Country, and Opportunities And The 10 Amendments. Some Negatives Are The Great Depression, Taxes, And Wars.

I Hope For My Future Is To Have A Good Education So I Have A Job That I Like And That Pays Enough Money To Pay Bills And To Help Me With My Life. I Would Also Like A Loving Wife And Loving Kids To Take Care Of So When I Get Old My Kids Can Take Care Of Me J Ha. What I See As My Strengths Are In School Is Math. What I Think That Could Prevent Me From Reaching My Dream Is Nothing. Nothing Can Prevent Me From Succeeding Life. I Will Not Stop Until I Make My Dreams 100% Complete. To This Day And Forward I Will Do Everything I Need To Do To In School And Outside Of School To Reach My Dream.

Well Priscilla Was Bullying Because The Kobra’s Were Picking On Her Friend Melvin Detweiler. I Think She Was Doing The Right And Bad Thing Because Bullying Is A Bad Thing To Do But She Was Defending Him. She Could Of Defend Other Kids Who Were Getting Bullied By Them. I Think He Might end His Bullying Ways Because He Might Be Scared Of Dealing With Priscilla Again. I Think Monk Bullies Because Maybe He Used To Be Bullied In A Younger Age And Wants Payback Or He Just Wants To Feel Cool Or To Feel Powerful. The Summary Of This Story Is There Once Was A Group Of Gang Members Called Kultter’s Kobra. All The Boys Could Show You The Scars From Where The Kobras Bite Them. Only The Girls Would Be Let Of With A Warning. Except A Girl Named Priscilla Roseberry. She Was The Largest Student In Their Institution Of Learning. She Wasn’t Fat She Was BIG. She Had Only One Friend, A Little Boy Name Melvin Detweiler.  One Day One Of The Kobras Went Up To Melvin And Grabbed Him By His Neck And He Slams His Head Against His Locker Door. All That Time, Melvin And The Kobra Were Standing In Priscilla’s Big Shadow. Priscilla Breaks The Kobra’s Hold On Melvin Throat. Later She Meets Up With The Leader. In A Move Of Pure Poetry She Had Monk In A Hammerlock. Suddenly He Was Gone, Neatly Wedged Into The Locker.

Monk and Connie

Both Monk and Connie were bullies for me because monk gets people to hurt other people’s feeling , monks differences were that he was a gang leader. He also got beat up by a girl. Connies differences  are that she was a bullie to her grandma and kind of mom because for her getting embarrassed by her grandma was like hurting her moms feelings too. Connie was mean to her dad too but they were still embarrassed monk was embarrassed like how I said and so was connie. Connie was also older I think because in the story it says she drives and monk didn’t drive I think he was in middle school and connie in high school.

I think Monk learned his lesson better because he got pushed into a locker and they left him inside the locker but connie learned her lesson too. “You made me feel like zero, like nothing” and that quote made connie learn her lesson. Well they both kind of learned there lesson because they both felt bad of what they did

Monk and Connie Blog 2

          I think that monk did wrong by hurting people. So did Connie by hurting his grandmother’s feelings. But I think that what monk did hurt a lot of people. I think that by the end that they both learned their lesson. I think that what Connie did was bullying because he didn’t hurt her physically. I think that Monk learned his lesson because now he knows not to mess with people.it will change him because now he knows what they felt when him and his gang bullied others. The lesson that Connie learned was to not be embarrassed of your family because at the end you are hurting them.

         

          But like I said, Monk is the one that truly learned his lesson because he hurt more than one person and at the other hand Connie only hurt his grandma. But Connie also did something cruel. In the passage Connie says: “I might be sent into the old lady’s room to apologize, and it’s not easy to admit you’ve been a jerk-at least, not right away with everybody watching”. In other words she admitted that what she did was wrong. Now in the story of Priscilla and the Wimps, Monk never admitted that he did wrong. But what Priscilla did was the write thing because Monk and his gang (Cobras) needed to be taught a lesson for them to stop bullying other innocent kids. I think that Monk was pretty confident that no one would ever do anything to stop his bullying so that is why I think that he bullied.

Priscilla and Monk

By Felton Henderson III

The summary of the story are that two characters Monk and Priscilla are bullies in a school that had a lot of different rules and regulations and there is a gang called the Klutter`s kobras.

What happened is that I was just walking through school being a popular kid that has money and I tease people in front of the gang of the school. Then after school, I have seen a little kid getting picked on with one of the gang members. So I tried to stop him then Priscilla came and scared him away. As he ran away, I looked at the little kid and said, “ you better have more respect wit your girlfriend.” Finally, Priscilla grabbed me and threw me into a locker. As I was in that locker, I learned that you always have a bully everywhere you go so don’t be one of them.     

Priscilla & Wimps

As soon as locker door shut it made a loud “bang” which made monk afraid. Then from outside the locker he heard cheering and people leaving the school. Monk started to yell for help but no one would listen to him because he was a bully and mean to every one. Monk got mad and started to punch his way out of the lock, but the locker was too strong. He started to panic and started yelling for help, and then he heard the janitor coming by and the janitor crush the lock and let him out. He was so mad at Priscilla and Melvin for getting him in this. Monk was walking home from school alone in the snow and in on the way from school he started to think about how he got in this in the first place.so over the week he thought about all the people that he hurt and realized that he was a bad person.so when the school opened up from all of the snow he said sorry to everyone that he took money from. Then monk apologized to Melvin and for Priscilla he said sorry to her as well.so it all works out for everyone.  JJJ
