Desiree's Baby, The Sequel.

Armand was in disbelief when he read his mother's words. The words echoed in his mind and could not stop thinking about it. He was ashamed that he left Desiree with their baby and that he was the one being black not her. Armand rushed to the nearest phone in his house. He picked the phone up and dialed Madame Valmonde's phone number.

Minutes later someone picked up but Armand could not recognize the voice that had answered him.

"Hello Miss. May I please speak to Desiree?"

"Sure just hold on a minute. May I ask who is this speaking?"

"Yes this is Armand Aubigny."

There was a long pause of silence but then someone else picked up the phone.

"Hello Armand this is Desiree speaking."

"Oh hello Desiree, I'm really sorry that I told you to leave me because of the baby. I just want you to come back to the house with our baby so we can live happy now."

"I'm sorry but I can not do that because I don't want you telling me that I'm black when I know I'm really not & that what you said about your last name. I don't think so Armand."

"No No No!!!!!! I'm not gonna tell you that anymore because I discover something you should only know but I want you to come to the house first and then I'll tell you because its too private that I just wanna see how you react."

"Fine but only just for the important thing but I'm not gonna stay with you..."

"Fine just come here and I will tell you what's happen and I hope you can change your mind about coming back."

He was really impatient because he just wanted her to get here so he can tell her becasue he could not hold it in him no more! Someone knocked softly and he knew it was Desiree. When he opened it, it was one of his slaves that told him that Desiree had came and that she wanted to speak with him. He told the slave to tell her that she can come in. After about 2 minutes later she came in, Armard was amazed that he had left such a beautiful young lady. She sat down and he started talking. He told her the whole story & she was in disbelief, too. Desiree was not so comfortale with believing this but she believed it anyways. She told him that she would come back to the house and she would never tell anyone the truth because she will do what's best to get him back with her.
One week later, Desiree was back with the baby in Armard's house. Everyone wondered what had happened and why she had left the house but they never asked them. They just live their lives as best as they could because they just wanted to be together. THE END!!!!

Flowers For Algernon

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it, especially if you knew the affects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or why not? Use examples from the story.

If I had the choice to have this operation, I would probably not do the operation even though I knew the affects of the surgery would only be temporary. I would not do it because of many reason. One of my reasons I wouldn't want to take it because why would I get a surgery that's not worth it. By this I mean that its not worth opening my head and getting my brain fixed up and then I'm just smart for a while and then I go back to the way I usually am. Also another reason is that in the story it said that Charlie took little time to get smarter but when he started to get dumb again he was losing half of his mind. I'm referring to this by like he took little time to actually get everything in his mind which is good but when he starts to go back to normal he just loses all his knowledge and I really don't want that to happen to me. Another reason why I wouldn't take this operation because I don't want to ever get surgery on somewhere its dangerous because something might go wrong during the operation and that is NOT COOL!!! Like you opening your head can dangerous because it may get infected or something else gets into your head open. You know something may go wrong while the operation is being made because the doctor might not remember how to do it, something may be spilled, or they might do something else other than what they really need to.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapters 8-the end.

Family- The family in this story is the opposite of what you think that any other family would be in the real world. They don't accept each other the way that they are. The message that this story is saying about family is that not always things turn out to be the way you want them. In the story it said that, Mrs. Roger Button gave birth to a 70-year-old baby and when Mr. Button went to see his baby he was so excited that he was going to have a normal baby, it shocked him to see that his baby was 70-year-old baby. Also another message that this story is telling you about family is that families sometimes don't exactly love each other as their own family & they don't treat each other as strangers not knowing each other. Like by this I mean that, Mr. Roger Button treated his son as his grandfather or someone else other than his own son. Also that Mr. Roger Button didn't love his son like a son that he would ever have just because he was different from all the other babies.

Age- In this story, the age is what matters some what the most. You know like just because Mr. Roger Button had a 70-year-old baby he doesn't like his son for that, which is pretty sad because he is like worrying about the age that his baby was born with. The baby has feelings too you know!!! Anyways, it seems unfair because all they care about is how old the baby is. In the story it says that, Mr. Roger Button is really surprise to find that his baby is 70-years-old and he doesn't want the baby because he is older than he is. Also another message that the story states is that Mr. Roger Button is scared that people are going to start talking about him because his son is old & he he doesn't consider him a son because he wasn't born normal and different from everyone else. Mr. Roger button just worries about what his baby seems to appear like. In the story, Mr. Roger Button is happy that people consider his son as a grandfather and not a son because they don't say that he is related to him in like really close to him.

Beauty- The most important thing in this story is the beauty of yourself. The story is saying that beauty is like what people see in you the most. Mr. Roger Button cares a lot but I mean a lot of what his son's appearance is. He just wants his son to look good so people would think that he is his brother or something else other than his son. Beauty in this story is like you won't be accepted to the public in this city unless you look pretty, cute, or super super good. Like in the story, Roger is trying to put his son to look nice so that he could go out in the public so he would be accepted by people. You know Roger doesn't care if his son is nice or mean or polite or whatever he just cares of what the appearance of him and his son look like because he jsut wants him and his son to fit in with the rest of the people in the world. So yeah beauty is what matters the most in this story.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 3-7

After reading Chapters 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter & give your solutions for each.

The first problem that I think that Benjamin will encounter is that his wife might die or might be really sick. He comes from the navy and his son says that his mother is very sick or died and that might cause Benjamin to be irritated or really sad that he might give up everything he has or is pending on. The solution for this is for Benjamin to be strong when his wife dies and just try to keep her on his mind so he won't be worried about her. Another solution if she is just really sick, he can get in a hospital in which where they specialize in whatever condition she is in and hope for the best so she would get better.

The second problem that I think Benjamin will encounter is that his son might leave the house or do something really bad that Benjamin would get in a big depression or go crazy. Maybe his son since he is older now, might leave the house, rob something from the store, or get caught doing something & might get arrested for doing that. The solution for this is that Benjamin has to put in his place like you know if he is being a rebel teenager then Benjamin should threaten his son that if he doesn't behave well he will put him in a private institute that his son wouldn't like until he will behave better. Another solution is that to get him out of jail [if he is in jail] and ground him or do something so his son wouldn't do that again like he'll learn his lesson to not do that again.

The third problem that I think Benjamin might encounter is that he might business problems by this I mean that he lose he job he had before because since he joined the army and didn't come back until what maybe a year later. They might of hired someone different other than him. They thought he might not come back because its the army and you might die and never come back. The solution to this is to ask his father if he can have a job in the company his father owns. If he says that he can't, well he should try to look for a job somewhere where they might be hiring him. Another solution is that maybe he might even make his own business to see if that brings him to be succesful in an economic way.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 2

Roger is so overly concerned with how Benjamin looks & is worried about what people are going to say. What should he do?

I think that Roger should just ignore what people are going to say about his son. You know since he might tell people that his son might be his grandpa or his father so he shouldn't mind about what people are going to say. Because they are mostly going to talk about his grandpa or father but not Roger. So he should just ignore them and say that its okay that people say something because they are barely getting to know Benjamin so it should be fine the way he is dressed. I think he shouldn't worry much about what people might say because Benjamin is the one who is going to be made fun of not Roger. It won't hurt much because Roger might think one thing but other people think something else.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

What would you have done if you were Roger Button in Chapter 1?
If I were Roger Button in Chapter 1, I would have probably scream and then tell the nurse that the baby was not mine. If she told me that it was my son, I would tell her that she was crazy and that I'll take the baby home but I would have to say that it's not my child. The baby was an old friend I meet somewhere else and he came to visit, if people asked me why was he so small I would say that he had this rear disease that he could not grow much. I would make everything upso no one would know that he is my baby because I didn't want to be seen with a 70-year-old baby!!!!! But when at home I'll act like as if he was my son but not in public. I know he is my son but I don't want people to stop talking to me or act like if I was some kind of weird person.

Heart Break

Love can mean different things to everybody.
It can hurt or it can bring happiness.
It does many things to your heart.
But the main thing it does is,
Get your heart broken.
When you have a good relationship
Everything works out between you and your partner.
But when its just a game,
Everything turns out to be the opposite of what you thought it would be like.
When you are ready to fall for someone
Make sure they are willing to catch you and not let you fall.
Brag and brag until you are sure that they surely do love you.
Do what is possible to make sure that
They are really in love with you.
Sometimes you have to do really crazy things
To find out what you need to know.
Love is a puzzle full of ways to get through
You have to find the right way to get through.
There’s only ONE way that you’ll get at the end of the puzzle
But sometimes you pick the wrong path, its not easy getting through the right way.
