Discuss how a person achieves fame and fortune and how it changes their life
To be famous these days seems like thee thing to do. If you’re not famous, you’re not important. Constantly you hear someone talking about how they’re going to do this or do that to be famous and successful. Things you get famous for now are usually the simple things such as being superb at throwing, shooting, or hitting a ball and going pro, being able to rap or sing a few words or lyrics a little better than the average person, making it as an elite actor or actress and starring in the next big movie, being on a so-called reality TV show, or even something as simple as just being in the public eye because of who you know and making it seem like your interesting enough to be followed. The fame achieved by people today changes their lives forever because once you’re in the public eye; everything you do is being watched and criticized. A lot of people probably thought or think that they will never change, but the lifestyle they want to lead ultimately changes them as people, their relationships with other people, and their world around them. They’d have to succumb to what the people watching them want them to be and how they think they should act. The fame and fortune also takes its toll on their personal life because you have no privacy. People waiting outside of restaurants, stores, even your house just to get the latest story and picture of you. Isn’t fame and fortune just great?

figures of Speech Poems
Beauty crawls beneath the ledge
Covering its pale face
Leaving behind her self-esteem
Sarcasm popping out the blue
Blinding out every naked eye
Leaving two lines of laughs and cries
Hunger cries out to the birds
Through the creepy swamps
Yelling out "I need more!"
Pain shouts to the heavens
Covered in mud and trash
He begs for a way out
Dehydration reaches out in the desert
Under the blazing sun
The tree whines to fulfill its thirst
Weakness begs for mercy in the ring
Clothes in cheap ripped attire
He begs for the beating to stop
Covering its pale face
Leaving behind her self-esteem
Sarcasm popping out the blue
Blinding out every naked eye
Leaving two lines of laughs and cries
Hunger cries out to the birds
Through the creepy swamps
Yelling out "I need more!"
Pain shouts to the heavens
Covered in mud and trash
He begs for a way out
Dehydration reaches out in the desert
Under the blazing sun
The tree whines to fulfill its thirst
Weakness begs for mercy in the ring
Clothes in cheap ripped attire
He begs for the beating to stop
meaning of diversity
Diversity is having more than one culture around in an area. That area can be as small as a school, or as big as a country being diverse. In california schools are very diverse. Even though with the exception of certain school where it is mostly white, or asian, or black and hispanic, most schools in the state of California are very diverse. They have blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, middle eastern people, pacific islanders, italians, and more. In the schools that are really diverse, all the students get along. The United States of America is a very diverse country. People from all around the world come to the United States of America to live and start new lives here. If they don't start a new life, they just come to visit. Even though this country is among the most diverse in the world, it still has a lot of racism. Being more diverse brings a lot of more discriminating and prejudice in the country. People try to say they don't do it and that they do not think that way, but in reality they do. Diversity is a good thing though. It brings more culture. It opens new doors and gives more opportunity for people to try new things. That can include trying new foods, meeting new people that may change your life, and just trying a new experience that you may have never ever thought about before. You might meet someone that will take you to a new place that you never knew existed, that you end up loving. With all the good, there is bad. Being so diverse, causes problems too. Some people think other cultures are bad, and that only theirs is good. It causes violence that is not needed at all, arguments, and riots. If people just accepted each other and were open, diversity would be even better than what it is now.
explain what cooperation means to you and why it is important
Cooperation is being able to work with another person without getting into some kind of argument every so often. Being cooperative is also being able to follow directions and rules that are in place. In a job setting, being able to cooperate is being able to listen to your boss and following directions that are given to you. You cannot rebel against what your boss is trying to tell you to do something. Being able to cooperate with one another is a very good skill that would help out in the future. It is very important. In the world, you have to work with other people all the time. If you cannot do this then you have a really big problem. A lot of jobs require you to be very cooperative. You if you cannot do this, 9 times out of 10 you will not be hired. You will be unemployed during times of a terrible economy. If you can't cooperate during school you won't get the grades that you want. It is a must be able to not only work with other students, but follow all rules in order to have a smooth school experience. If you don't you will find yourself kicked out of school, or not graduating and making your parents and relatives very proud when you walk the stage at your high school graduation.

commuunication in the last 20 years
In the last 20 years or so, the way one person communicates with another person is a lot different than how it used to be. 20 years ago to communicate with another person in the world, people would just talk to that person "in person." that was how most communication was done. The telephone was popular to. Being able to talk to someone while not having to be with them. So people would talk on the phone a lot. Even though not a lot of people had them, cell phones allowed people to talk to someone anywhere at any moment of the day. Just type their number in and call them. Everyone thought this was just the coolest thing ever. Communication in today's world is a lot different than it use to be. Some people still do it, but talking on the phone is rare. Especially talking on the house phone. Most people now-a-days don't even have a land-line in their home. The most popular way of communicating today is through text message. Although teens do it the most, grown ups text message a lot too. The average teen sends over 1000 text messages per month. It is so bad that people as a whole don't have good social skills because they don't actually talk to people anymore. Another way people communicate with one another is through email. Email deals with a lot of business related communication that doesn't happen over the phone, or in person. Instant messaging and social websites like facebook are other ways that people communicate to one another in today's world. In the last 20 years, the way people communicate with other people in the world is a lot different than the way it was 20 years ago. It is all due to great advances in technology. All you can do it praise them because we all participate with the ways of communication now. I believe in the next 20 years there will be a whole new way people talk to each other than from how people talk to each other now.
7. Why do people eat what they do?
People in the world today choose to eat particular foods for many different different reasons. One reason they probably choose certain foods because when they were in the wound, the foods that their mother ate are going to be most types of foods that they like. Another reason people may choose particular foods hey eat is because they may have had an experience with another type of food. Being a vegetarian for example. The person may have seen how bad and cruel animals are treated and it made them not want to eat it. They may just see an animal and get the thought "How could I eat something that is alive like myself that is flesh. Animals are not the cleanest of being either." Many different people have many different reasons why they choose to eat the certain foods that they do. The last reason that they choose certain foods and nothing others is the simple fact that they eat what tastes good to them. To some people vegetables taste very good. And to others vegetables are one of the nastiest foods in the world. Everyone has different taste buds. If a person likes how a food tastes then they are automatically going to eat and like it.

how could teachers do their job more effectively
For teachers to do their job more effectively, I think they should first ask the students in their class, "what is the best way you learn in a school environment?" Not all students learn things the same way. Some people are visual learners, hands on learners, listeners, people that have to do activities, or people that just take notes on a subject to learn the material. If the teacher does this, they will be able to actually teach all of the students the material and not just some of the students. If the teacher is able to teach every student, and the students and the students get good grades out of the class, the teacher won't get fired. They will stay around longer and make more money. Another way teachers can do their job more effectively is by making the class very fun and interesting. When students don't have a fun classroom environment, the class becomes automatically boring to them. When something becomes boring to a teen, they are not going to want to do it. So the student will not want to do his or her work, and they will stop coming to the class. If the teacher takes the time to make the class fun then the students will look forward to attending that class. A teacher should really look at this and take it into consideration because this could be the difference between keep keeping their job, or losing it and being unemployed. Everyone knows how hard it is to get a job today.
