Reading autobiography

The kind of books that I read when I was small, were picture books that had the fewest words as possible. I don’t really like reading. But if I star reading a book, it has to be interesting at the beginning if I can finish the whole book or else I would stop reading it half way. I remember reading “The Hungry Caterpillar”, where the caterpillar got fat, because he ate a lot. I also remember “The Tree Little Pigs”, where there was a big bad wolf that wanted to eat the three little pigs. “Little Red Ridding Hood”, a wolf wants to eat the girl and the wolf dresses as the grandma. So he could eat Little Red Ridding Hood. I don’t really remember when I became an independent reader, but my sister sometimes read books to me. And when I had homework from English, my teachers gave me books so I had to read them. I don’t remember when I started reading by myself, but I remember that I use to get some books and searched through the pictures and if it looked interesting I would read it. What I read in elementary school, were books called “Open Court”, and it had short stories. And I didn’t really read that much at home, except when I had to do my reading homework.I remember a book that I read and that really touched me, it is called “A Child Called It”, it was a boy that was brutally beaten by his mother, his mother was an alcoholic. She made him eat raw food, and sometimes he didn’t get to eat, he had to do all the chores and was treated differently than his brothers. He had ripped clothes and lived in the basement, in an old army cot, his mother would keep him there, and he would get cold at night because his blanket wasn’t warm enough. She did things that left him nearly dead.
Even though I don’t like to read, I enjoy books that help you, or give you tips on how to be a better person in life. My sister encouraged me to read “How to Kill a Mockingbird”, its pretty interesting, its about an African man accused of raping a whit girl and a lawyer Atticus, trying to prove that he’s innocent, but I didn’t want to finish the book because I would get tired of reading it. And my sister kept telling me to finish reading the book, but know it’s somewhere lost in my closet. I get books from the library, school, or at home, some books I bought from scholastic. The feelings I associate with reading, are depending on the book, how touching it is. And the sensation when I read is, also depending on the book, if its interesting I want to finish reading the book, and I would like to continue reading it. But I like to read about romance and adventures, sometimes about suspense too. I remember that I read the books that the teachers gave me and I read them, but I didn’t understand the story, and that still happens to me today, I always used to re-read the stories sometimes I understand them better the second time, but sometimes I don’t understand them for sure.

wild essay

I don’t remember my first visit to Mexico, since I’ve gone every year, except this one. I like going there because its fun, my aunts take me everywhere. We go eat some tacos, tortas, and enchiladas, which are very yummy. I enjoy going to parties. The last time I went an aunt got married, and I enjoyed the party. I was dancing, it was cool. We also went to some place that’s like a pool, but it has a fountain in the center and throwing water straight up, it goes very high. We went to the park, and make some carne asada, and spent time with my family. We always have a good time no matter where we are, my family is very united, and sometimes could be funny, specially my uncle. He’s crazy, but cool. My grandpa has a horse and I used to get on it when I was little, but now I’m scared that I might fall.
When we go I love riding motorcycles, my aunts had three, but now another aunt bought one so there’s four now, I like riding them, its fun. But my aunt fell off of it, the motorcycle slipped and she fell, but she was all right, nothing serious happened to her. My sister almost crashed it because she turned the handle by accident but she stopped it in time, she was alone that time, the next time I was with her, and she was going to make a right turn, to get in the other street, and she almost crashed into another motorcycle, we knew the guy that was driving the motorcycle he was one of our friends, and we were all shocked because we were almost going to crash, we never told my parents about that little accident, because we knew that if we told them we were never going to get to ride the motorcycle again, so we kept that little secret.
When I was there, I went to some classes that were about, donating food, and helping the poor. It was fun, because we played games, and we went around where we lived and helped people, we gave them a bag of food, with necessary things, that people need. And by helping other people, we had a field trip, there were pools and they had games in the water, we played lots of fun games. We got to swim and we were racing, to see who swam the fastest, I lost, my friend won me.
Two days before we came back to Los Angeles, Sunday, my friend invited me to a disco, since we weren’t going to see each other no more. We wanted to go out somewhere, so we decided to go to the disco. But we had to take my uncle and my aunt, so we went and we started to dance, we had a good time, then we went back home like at 10:30 somewhere around that time. And I haven’t seen my friend since that time, but I’ve talked to him through myspace, but were still good friends. I don’t know when I’m a go back to Mexico, I hope it’s soon, but I don’t really know…so that was my trip to Mexico.

violence essay

Violent scenes are illustrated on television, the violence in America has been running for three decays, and its main point is determining whether media violence results in real life violent actions. Media violence automatically abuses the freedoms of speech and its unconstitutional. It is hard to watch television at almost any time of the day and not find violence on the screen as a normal part of the appearance. Cartoons are filled with it, movies often seem to make violence a central part of the plot, and regular television series are becoming more and more violent. There is an active movement to identify those programs and give parents some control and all a choice over the viewing of a program. So the main violence that is, its in television, the strong scenes that they have, but some parents let their children watch that, so its all in the choice of the parents, if they want their children growing up with a violent experience, and that might affect them when their older. Violence on television is very common today, it is very difficult to actually say now that television violence affects its viewers, but television programs have different effects on different people, because not all humans are the same. Attitude, knowledge, interests, affects people and how much television you watch. Television can be also the main reason causing the effects on violence. Children, who view shows in which violence seem realistic, frequently are more likely to imitate what they see on television. Children with emotional behavior, learning or impulsive control problems may be more easily influenced by television violence. The children may suffer from violent problems, when they get older, and can be more affected when the family shows no attention toward violence.
We should not really always blame the television, we should be responsible, and not let our children be exposed to, too much violence, children watch three to four hours of television daily, or even more. Parents have the power to control the hours of television their children watch and the limit of the violence they are exposed to.
