Similies,Metaphor,and cliches

My name is C.J. I'm a very happy person like Snow White frolicking through the woods. I am a flying rocket, always in a hurry to do something fun. When my day isn't as good as gold, I try not to think about what went wrong and just enjoy myself since all that glitters is not gold. I love snacks that have sugar just like a cat likes to play with thread. My favorite color is the color of the beautiful shiny grass. I like to have fun with my friends. We like to hang out, talk, chill, and eat snacks during lunch. When I have a candy as my lunch snack,I turn into a ticking bomb. Yes, ready to burst out laughing like a crazy clown once the sugar gets to me. Sometimes it is not just candy that makes me laugh,it can be a funny situation or even a drink that has sugar...Monsters. I'm not always hyper though, I can also be a feather, really calm.

My name is Stephanie and I go to High Tech High Media Arts. High Tech High Media Arts is a very peaceful school like a house without little brothers. I like to learn new things at school or in general. My brain is a vacuum sucking up all the information that I didn't know like an ant figuring out where the trail goes and where the food is located.I like going out to places with my family and friends like an elephant likes to eat peanuts. I'm a cat chasing a mouse when it comes to playing soccer and a typewriter when it's about texting.

"It's a sad day for Greece,a sad day.

Priam and Priam's sons would be happy indeed,

And the rest of the Trojans too,glad in their hearts,

If they learned all this about you two fighting,

Our two best men in council and in the battle.

Now you two listen to me,both of you. You are both

Younger than I am, and I've associated with men

Better than you,and they didn't treat me lightly.

I've never seen men like those,and never will,

The likes of Peirithous and Dyras, a shepherd to his people,

Caineus and Exadius and godlike Polyphemus,

And Aegeus' son, Theseus, who could have passed for a god,

The strongest men who ever lived on earth,the strongest,

And they fought with the strongest,with wild things

From the mountains, and beat the daylights out of them.

I was their companion, although I came from Pylos,

From the end of the earth-they sent for me themselves.

And I held my own fighting with them. You couldn't find

A mortal on earth who could fight with them now.

And when I talked in council,they took my advice.

So should you two now: taking advice is a good thing.

Agamenon,for all your nobility,don't take his girl.

Leave her be: the army originally gave her to him as a prize.

Nor should you, son of Peleus,want to lock horns with a king.

A scepter-holding king has honor beyond the rest men,

Power and glory given by Zeus himself.

You are stronger,and it is a goddess who bore you.

But he is more powerful,since he rules over more.

Son of Atreus, cease your anger. And I appeal

Personally to Achilles to control his temper, since he is,

For all Greeks, a mighty bulwark in this evil war."

Favorite Public Hero

I consider Cesar Chavez a hero because he helped many Mexican farm workers better their lives. Cesar also helped by standing up to the owners for Mexican people who were afraid to speak out because they didn't want to loose their jobs and get deported,if they were illegal immigrants. "He helped to establish UFW, whose goal was to have a better work environment for those who worked the fields of America." These are the reasons why Cesar Chavez is one of my favorite public heroes.

People disliked him because he would help illegal immigrants.
