First Persuasive Paragraph

Students should not be allowed to play sports if they have low grades. They should be able to put their educational standards before any sport. You can have a career playing sports, but eventually as you get older it won't benifit you any longer. If you for example were go a graduate school and became a lawyer it would last much longer than playing sports with low academic standards. People focus on kids with talent but it takes the requiring academic standards in order to play sports. Your education isn't just what your parents expect from you but what everyone expects from a child with talent.

" Catch the Moon" Grief paragraph

The change Luis experiences after he  address the grief he feels for his mother's death is believeable.  For example Luis used to be a bad kid and looked up to people that influenced him a negative way. Now that he see's why his father is always so worried about him he's changed. In real life that can also true. A person can change for someone they love. By dealing with grief, people are able to overcome their problems and be able to express themselves better rather than being uptight to people who are only trying to help you.

SPA Moive and Games Day Paragraph

I was prepared for Friday. I wore comfortable clothes just to get ready to dominate the other classes. First we watched a movie called " Freedom Writers". I thought it was cool because the stuff that happened in the movie just showed how the stuff in the real world. After the movie we played 2 games of basketball. Sophomores played against the Seniors and the Juniors played against Freshmen. After we beat the Seniors we played against the Junoirs, we also be beat the juniors. After playing basketball we played volleyball. We didn't win the championship for volleyball but I'm glad we did win the basketball tournament. There was a cupcake but I didn't play in that. We ate lunch and I went to basketball practice.
