=Martin Luther King jr= =Martin luther king was born on jan 15 1929. Martin was also the leader of the civil rights movement, and the boycott that was in Montgomery in 1955. I choose Martin Luther King because he changed the world for many people and he didn't give up on his goal.= =By the 1950's slavery no longer existed in the United States but black people still did not have the same rights as the white people then. Black people did not get to have the same privilges as the white people and it was called segregation. So Martin decided to do something about it.= =Futhermore martin started to make movement to stop segregation, like the boycott movement. The boycott movement was established when Rosa Parks didn't give up her seat for a white person. There goal there was to have black people sit anywhere they wanted on the bus. The boycott lasted for 385 days. But they didn't give up their goal. At the end of everything Martin house was bombed and it ended segregation on all public busses thanks to the supreme court.= =Martin also started a march for i have a dream speech. The i have a dream speech was for how Martin Luther King would like to see black people and white people become one with each other.Also he did the speech for more jobs and freedom for black peopele.= =Martin luther king was the youngest person to get the noble peace prize in 1964. He also got the presidential medal of freedom in 1977, and the congressional gold medal in 2008. Martin accomplishment alot of things. Some of these things was, the end of segregation also the boycott movement and many other things.= =In conclusion martin luther king jr influenced alot of people like me. And he changed the world in which we lived in.= =__getting hit by a car__= =When i was 8 years old something terrible happen to me that almost took my life from me.The day started out sunny to bloody. I was playing a game called " Manhunt" And my team was running from the other team. And i saw one of them and then................= =We were playing on jefferson and Marcy. It was dark and hot. The block was quiet and gloomy. But that was before i got hit by a car. Yelling aquainting the block and crying filled the streets. Next amblunce sirens heard from two blocks away. It happen so quick i only remember me running and then waking up in tears. I remember looking at my mom and for the first time ever i saw her crying.= =As the ambulance lifted me up and rushed me to the hospital. I was dozing off and the doctor kept waking me up and asking me question. Finally we got to the hospital and i went to get a x-ray. Nothing seem to be wrong with me so i tought everything was cool. And then to make matters worse the nurse came with atleast like 4 big needles. And when i saw them i strated fliping out until my gramother came and started talking to me.= =I only had one open wound and that was on my leg. It was a large gash so i had to get stitches for it. After a couple more test and everything else i was good. So i had to choose to stay with my grandmother on my dad side or my mother. And i pick my grandmother. So i stayed there for aleast month to recover from the accident. So after everything i went back to playing around and everything else. Even though i had to learn the hard way i learned my lesson. And that is to look both ways before crossing the streets and to not play by the street.=

=My name is hakeem wilson and on march 8 something horrible happen. I was walking down the street to the store to go get bread for lunch it was around like 11:30, so i went in the store and it was really busy and i bumped a teenager that was like 16. So before i even got to say sorry she was yelling saying ' what are you doing you can sorry dum **.' So i said little girl don't talk to me like that i'll smack the crap out of you. And then she walk out the store, so i kept shoping in the store and paid for my stuff. Futhermore when i started walking down the street i remember i was around the corner from my house and a couple of grown men came and ask why were you being disrepectful to my sister. And i said i wasn't. An the next thing i know i get punch in the face and i fell on the floor and they cut me several times in my face i thought i was going to die. So when i woke up i was in the hospital and they were sewing my face because a had gashes in my face. Everything could of been alot worse but i surived thanks to god. Now after everything i went through i am helping the cops take drug dealer down and help the cops find the people that did this to me. But i carry protection just in case something like that happen again.=

Shyheim, you did a good job here. I think that your narrative writing could benefit from more description, but this may come when you work on your personal narrative. Take time to tell feelings, thoughts, and observations of the narrator. I can help you with this. =__How to get rid of stink__=

step1- you have close all windows or conceal any holes in your house. step2- get some bug repler and spray it on the stink bugs =step3- DO NOT KILL THEM IT ATRACTS MORE OF THEM= step4- Use a dusting tretment meaning dust off dirty places step5- If any of these teps don't help contact a license pest controler __Descrptive writting__ On Kosciusko street in brooklyn ny there is two houses on thr left hand side of the street and then on the other side of the street there's a pool that's called marcy pool. Also there's a barber shop on the block. There's also a salvation army after school progam there. Finally there's a elementry school on the block. In clousion on Kosciusko street is where i was raised at. =__current event's__ In wilkinsburg on April 5 11 there's was a tragic shooting leaving one dead and two walking away. Neighbor said that heard 6 shots in total. I think people should not be getting shot, because next time it could be me or a family member. People should not be getting shot because it effects the community Effects community i live in. Like somebody or me can walk in the middle of a drug deal or something an somebody might pull out a gun and start shooting at the person and me or the other person can get shot. Futhermore it effects the community because people might think the place is bad for people to live in. And the mayor won't support the place or give the school's money to help kid's in the community.=

Good work Shyheim. Keep working hard this quarter. You could certainly use a good quarter and a good grade in English class. You can do, but you have to stay focused for the next 7 weeks. =﻿= =**New york city**= New york has alot of stores The best way to get your clothes in new york is go to Manhatten on 34 st. Also you can go to downtown Brooklyn. Downtown Brooklyn has alot of clothes stores like Aeropostale, Hollister, and other stores. Also New York gets their clothes and other accessories first then other places like pittsburgh. New York is surronded by stores every were you turn there's a store. There's also alot of choices to choose from. there's also a rumor that we have the biggest polo store in the world. New York City is also known as football and baseball country. We have diffrent teams for every sport. Some people are jealous because we have more sports team than other places in the world. Some of our team is the 27th time world series champions the famous New York Yankees. Also we have football teams that i love. even though we didn't make it this year i still love my team. The team are the giants and the jets. Our basketball team is the New York Knicks. And later on we will have a team called the Brooklyn Nets. Which will be Jay-z team. As everybody know New York is known as the big apple and the city that never sleep because, Everything is bigger and faster in New York. People wake up early go to work in manhatten some people might work in stores downtown and in other places. tduring the night everything is open till like 4 in the morining. Some people might go out clubing, some people might just till be at work. also their is like a store at every corner that stays open till like 1 in the morining.
 * New york is known as the big apple or the city that never sleep. Other rumors ay that New york is a great place to shop till you drop. And to be a person from New yok everything is true. I think New york is better because it has alot of stores everthing is faster we also have good sports team and everybody cool.**

New york is also a good place to meet people and to make good friends. The schools up there is so diffrent to schools up here they a diffrent policy and difrent rules. Also New York has alot of negiborhoods to choose to live in personally i think Bed-Stuy is the best place to live because that's were i grew up at and because there's alot of thing's to do over there you will never be bored. In clousion i think New York is a best place to live because there's alot of opportunities and there's also alot to do you will always have something to do. And you will see alot of celebrities.  

The person that i would like to be a speaker at the school is, jay-z. I say that because Mr. Carter has alot of succes in life. He went from a drug dealer to a millionare/rapper. So i think he can tell us to follow our dreams and to never give up on life and you can't knock the hustle.

Shyheim, this is a pretty good start. Your intoductory paragraph is good in that you start general. You say some things about New York. You want to make sure that you add a thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph. Something that shares your opinion and your reason for that opinion. "I am from New York, and I believe that it is the best city in the world. It has a lot of places to shop, the best and most exciting sports teams, and great neighborhoods to live and go to school in." This does not have to be your opinion, but i was just trying to get you started.
