Music is my comfort....

The number one thing that comforts me is music. The music depends on what type of mood I’m in, for example if I’m in a bad or sad mood I listen to Drake or Speaker Knockerz. If I am in a good mood I listen to Chief Kief, Migos, Young Thug, and Rich Homie Quan to get hype or something. PARTYNEXTDOOR and August Alsina are my favorite artists. I listen to them no matter what mood I am in. Something about music just makes me happy. I love the melodies, beat, lyrics, and rhythm; music makes me dance. Some songs make me forget things and others make me remember everything in my life. It’s comforting because music gets me more than a human being. Somehow music understands what I go through in my life, like some songs have meaning and lessons in them that is why it’s so comforting. Music is my life; I mean what’s life without music?

My name... Imani

My name is Imani and it means faith

I was named after the model Iman

She was skinny and tall with a perfect tanned face

My name is from the language Swahili

But when I get older I can name myself freely

Others like it, but I’m not a big fan

My name is so basic, it’s boring, and it’s bland

I want a unique name something that no one has

One that corresponds to my character is that too much to ask?

My name is as simple as the colors black and white-simile

Wanting my name to go with my flow as the day brings light - imagery

My family gave me a nickname, they call me Mani

Everything about it just doesn’t gratify me

My name first originated in Eastern Africa

Slowly but surely it became known in America

I respect my name and my name respects I- personification

My mother gave it to me, so it’s one thing I can’t deny

Aliens What I Would Do The Next Day

If I found out that everybody was an alien, the next day I would just pack up and leave. I’d leave at night so they couldn’t see me, then I would grab my clothes, weapons, armor, and as much food as I could and run away. I would also take a helmet for protection for my head, so the aliens wouldn’t take over my brain. I travel and travel, walk long distances until I end up on an island where there is only animals and me. I’d hunt for my own food, make myself a little hut or something, and I would call the island MANITROPOLIS. Just in case the aliens find me I would set all kinds of traps and train myself to kill them. I would also train the animals to learn how to kill the aliens too; nothing could get past me because I would have the greatest protection. I will be the queen and defeat the aliens. I would be potent; these aliens wouldn’t have anything on me.

Birthday Party Pinata

I was made by a man with a dream. I am 10 feet tall and 130 inches wide. My creator crafted me with a neon blue color of paper mache, which is a special type of paper; it’s so rare not even Michael Jordan can have it. I was made into the beats headphones, because I was so unique I already had things stuffed inside of me so people didn’t have to buy things to put in me. I had all kinds of special prizes; I had huge chocolate bars, mini sodas, Oreo’s, and much more! So one day I was just minding my own business when one day a woman stopped and looked at me. I wanted to say what are you looking at but of course piñatas can’t talk. The woman picked me up took me to the register and out the store we went. 15 minutes later we arrive at a huge house and I can see a lot of little kids running around and screaming, hitting each other and crying. To myself I’m thinking lady why am I here, but then she took me to the back yard. I spotted a sign that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY! So the lady hangs me up on a tree and hands Troy the stick. He hits and hits and KABOOM! I broke open. All the kids are having a good time until FEH FIH FOO FUMP! A little fat boy comes stomping towards all the candy. He comes and pushes all the little kids out of the way and everybody’s just staring at him gathering all that candy. So I say to myself there’s always that one greedy little kid who’s just obligated to scarf down all the candy from everyone else. What a wonderful birthday party.

Real friends take care of each other by.....

Real friends should take care of each other by being there for each other when either one is going through tough times. Real friends tell the truth and never keep secrets, for example say I have a friend named Sam and she had got into an argument with another girl named Kayla so now they don’t like each other. If Sam doesn’t like Kayla then I’m not supposed to be talking to Kayla because Sam might think I’m talking about her to Kayla. Another example of real friends are ones who don’t gossip about your business and tries to put you out to the public. Real friends don’t do sneaky things to each other. Its fake for a so called friend to talk about you behind your back one day and the next day all in your face acting like they are the realest friend you have, that’s called being fake and people don’t like that. My last example of a real friend is someone who has your back no matter what. Today there are so many melees because people who say they are real friends lie and do sneaky things.

Zero to a Hero real quick

Heroes can be anyone at any point in time, especially when tragedy strikes. There are many examples of how a stranger or anyone can be a hero by their actions. Sereika was an alcoholic who had to go to rehab, because of his past people started to think differently about him. His paramedic license was suspended and after that his life changed a lot. One day he got a voice mail form his sister saying, “I love you, I know you’re out there helping." That was a wakeup call for him and a moment to change his life. Sereika put on his uniform he had stored away and headed out the door to go help find survivors. When Sereika gets to the World Trade Center he starts to look for survivors. A couple minutes into the search he is at a location where Officer Jimeno and Mclougin who were buried under the debris. He yells, asking if anyone helps he hears a voice screaming, “I’m here!" He follows the voice there he sees the two officers. One of the officers tells him not to leave so Sereika says he won't. Since he can't leave Sereika calls his sister and tells her to call 9-1-1, she does then help arrives. The men exhausted men were replaced with men who had energy. Sereika went home and decided to change his life. These are actions of a hero because he never left those men until help arrived.

  On the other hand Sereika isn’t the only hero I read about. Another person who I would consider a hero is a man named Rolfe Carle. He was just an original news reporter until one day something tragic happened that changed his life. There was a little named Azucena who was stuck in a mud pit, after a volcano erupted in Colombia. Carle never suspected that he would find a fragment of his past, lost thirty years before. As soon as Carle saw Azucena, doing everything in his power to help and give her hope that she will be free she just had to stay alive. Rolfe had an idea to get her out of the pit, he just needed a pump. So he called and said on TV. can anyone please help him get a pump, but no one answered. The pump came too late and Azucena was dead. This affected a big part of Carle’s life so he went home exhausted. The next day he stared outside the window and never said a word. I think these are actions of a hero because he did everything in his power to try and save her, while other reporters document her and the people at home just sat and watched the TV. did nothing to help.

Saving Buddies From the Floodies

If there was a huge flood and I only had one boat, but can only fit five animals I would take a large cow,polar bear, a giraffe, a dog, and a monkey. First, I would take a large cow because i would need something to eat and drink, but before I kill it I would milk it until I have enough milk to last me until the flood is gone and then I would kill it to eat. Second,  I would take a polar bear because they are already becoming extinct it would break my heart to see the last one gone, so I would save it. Third, I would take a giraffe because what if one day the flood is gone there's dry land again? Well since there wouldn't be any cars left I would need something to ride for long journeys, getting around faster, and because its tall it has a good chance of keeping me dry. If there would be tress left it could help me reach apples and things nutrition stuff. Fourth, I would take a dog because I would need a companion, a friend to talk to and play with so I don't go insane. Lastly, I would take a monkey just to take it, monkeys are fun and so cool to play with, also they're funny to me and it would be like having another human with me even though its an animal. Usually I'm tenacity about things but I just love animals. These are my reason why I would save these five animals.
