Artistic Expression

In my opinion the story the author was trying to express focused on a woman having to overcome great obstacles. My reason for believing this is that the song is called This Woman's Work and because during the dance the woman falls down a lot and her facial expression makes her look like she is struggling. The author I think was trying to convey that women have to deal with more stress in their lives then men do. When the woman fell down while dancing with the man, I think the author was trying to convey the pain and sadness of losing love. I also think the dance was expressing how the woman might have also been living in a society in which men have more power. The story I think overall was trying to portray a depressing feeling that ends in sadness and sorrow.

My Superpower

 One lazy Monday morning I woke up and found myself looking in the mirror and looking into the eyes of a gorilla. I began to freak out and then two minutes later I looked in the mirror again and I realized that there was just me and all of a sudden my body changed into that of a donkey. I then turned into more animal forms and eventually I finally changed back to my normal human form. I was excited to have this power because I could be any animal I wanted to be and if I couldn’t climb a tree I could change into a monkey and if someone was angering me I could turn into a lion. So when I got to school I immediately decided I would do some evil and dastardly acts ha ha ha! To start in PE when we were playing football I knocked over everyone and scored every touchdown when I transformed into an elephant. In math whenever I got a question wrong I would turn into a tiger and threaten to eat the entire class. By lunch break I had control over the whole school with my powers being unstoppable. That’s when a genie came to me and told me that he had granted me this wish and told me that if I did not use this power responsibly he would send someone to destroy me. I just laughed at him and began to tell the principal to send out my ransom note of $1,000,000 for the safety of the whole school. But just as the final period of the day began I heard a bang in the hallways and I turned into a rhinoceros and began to search the halls for the disturbance. Police had begun to swarm the building trying to capture me. I charged them down and the entire force sent to bring me in had been defeated in only 5 minutes. That’s when the genie appeared again and said I had defied him for the final time and just as I saw my classmate Trevor walking by, a bright light had been cast over him. I looked at him again and found that he had been turned into the world’s most powerful weapon: Chuck Norris. I transformed into a spider monkey to dodge the roundhouse kicks being sent towards me, but one hit me directly on my forehead. I got back up and transformed into a snake and slithered around the transformed Trevor and I bit him in the neck. Finally I realized I would have to turn into the world’s most annoying animal: the pigeon. I began to repeatedly take a crap on Trevor`s head. Trevor franticly grabbed at me and eventually got me by the neck and began to strangle me. I turned quickly into my normal human form and said `wait stop I give up I was wrong to do what I did`. Trevor wasn`t buying it and began to roundhouse kick me repeatedly until the bell went. The next day I woke up in hospital and I was informed that I had lost all my powers. I cried for a while after learning I was being sentenced to 25 years of jail for the murder of six police officers, causing acts of terrorism and treason against the nation. But I would be relieved of my punishment after Trevor walked into the room in Chuck Norris form and promised to end my life.

My Excuse

One Friday in September I was walking over to math class and realized I had not finished my homework that was supposed to be finished last night. I was freaking out because I had never had any incomplete homework before. I needed to come up with an good quick excuse. Then I thought up the most insane idea ever that would surely get me out of having to show my homework. So I headed to the washroom and pulled out a pair of scissors and stabbed my stomach with them. The pain was terrible yet slowly I walked outside and headed to Portable 1. My teacher had a cow, blood seeping from my shirt she asked me in a shrill voice "who did this to you". I quickly thought up a name and said "Connor John". It was the first name that came to my head and unfortunately it was also the name of my friend too. The teacher called 911 and an ambulance came to pick me up as well as two police officers. As I was heading into the ambulance I saw Connor sprinting out of the school with the cops behind him in pursuit. One tazered Connor and then as Connor slowly got up slammed him against the hood of the police cruiser. The cop yelled in his ear "your going away for a long time you little delinquent". I couldn't allow Connor to deal with the punishment  so I said "wait it wasn't his fault it was actually...Trevor Vestergaard"! I then told them how Connor tried to stop Trevor from stabbing me but was unsucsseful and was going after him in pursuit. The cops believed it and Connor had no memory of the incident from the injury he sustained while being slammed against the hood of the police cruiser. My ruse was successful and I finished my homework, Connor was considered a hero for his actions and Trevor was facing 10 years in juvie. That was by far the best excuse ever made!
