II. The Whistle

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790
The arthor's approach is a settle but unhappy one. He felt that he should not have received a letter from his friend on a certain day because he did not respond to his previous one. I addition to that he states that he likes what his friend is talking about and telling him, he enjoys his letters. The thesis statement was very well thought out and very well written."Mr. B. has kindly sent me word that he sets out to-morrow to see you, instead of spending this Wednesday evening, as I have done its namesakes, in your delightful company, I sit down to spend it in thinking of you, in writing to you, and in reading over and over again your letters" B.FRANKLYN
His technique was very good and thought out and in his conclusion he stated how in the end he really apprieciated his friend and how much his friends letters meant to him.

. The Ephemera: An Emblem of Human Life

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

The author was stating is views on human life and basically stating different views on life. The writers approch was more of a calm and vivid description about life. He did not only talk about his life but other peoples life as well. The artors thesis statement was very good it gave yoy a very broad description of his essay."I turned my head from them to an old gray-headed one, who was single on another leaf, and talking to himself. Being amused with his soliloquy, I put it down in writing, in hopes it will likewise amuse her to whom I am so much indebted for the most pleasing of all amusements, her delicious company and heavenly harmony".B.FRANKLYN
I think the introduction was very good, he stated what he wanted to talk about and expressed that as well.In his conclusion he stated he had spent is whole life trying to reach his goal of, his pursuit in life

famous

Would you like to be famous why not for the Money, recognition, invites to great parties, meeting other famous people, respect, love, get to wear glamorous clothes and go to glamorous places, you get given free stuff from top designers, buy your own jet ? the list is potentially endless! You may think ''why wouldn't I want to be famous'' with perks like this!You may also feel that fame is the only way to find purpose and meaning for your existence or that you wish to be immortal, and finding a way onto some permanent public record or entry into a history book is the way to achieve that! Perhaps you lack self-confidence and just want to be loved????by thousands of people!

cbi basketball

Every game of this tournament is played on the home court of the higher seed. There are four regions and four teams per region. For the final four the teams are reseeded. This way they can still play the semifinal games at the home of the higher seeds. Postseason basketball should still feel like basketball. The way the NCAA has sold out and decided to play the regional championship games in gigantic football stadiums to make as much money as possible ruins the atmosphere. The CBI creates a great atmosphere.
The championship is a best of three series. I repeat a best of three series! First game at the higher seed, second game at lower seed, and if needed a third game at the home of the higher seed. This is one of the best things I have ever heard of. This is how championships are won in the NBA and I love the idea of a championship series in college hoops. Like I said this allows for these games to actually feel like basketball games.This is why i like this new leauge.

Tattos

I have nine tattoos on me and i have both of my ears pierced. I have a sleeve on my arm, that is still under construction. It says loyalty and has my family members all around it.

I plan on getting more tattoos my next project i plan on getting my chest done. I will get my mom and my sisters face on my shoulder blades and i will have my angels in the middle going across my chest. I plan on getting many more tattoos so this is jus the beginning i plan on contiune to grt tattooed until about 25 then after i reach that age i will call it quits.
