1. I think the most interesting parts in the documentary was when they showed the piercings gone wrong at the end, and also when they asked adults for there point of view for piercings.

2. i think people get piercings because they wanna express there self, they think its cool or they do it because they see there friends with them.

3. i don't think different piercings say different things because when when you get your nose pierced instead of your ears that just means you want to.

4. yeah i think more than 5 piercings is to much. other people disagree but i dont.

Bottled water comic life

bottled water

2010-05-27T08:50:00.001-07:00

1. bottled water and tap water are both dirty but bottled water is dirtier. it is sent from factories that takes about 2 weeks to get to where its sent to and they drink it in like 2 minutes. pretty gross, 2 week old water.

2. bottle water is made in factories and polluted areas from all over the world. after you finish your water, the bottle is usually not recycled its buried and even brought to peoples backyards.

3. to help water problems people should just drink tap so the water companies don't make any money and they go out of business. i know bottled water isn't for me.

If today was my last

2010-01-06T11:22:00.000-08:00

If today Was my last day I would do a lot of fun stuff. I would run around naked outside in front of lots of people. I would make sure I spend lots of time with my family. I would also like to do other fun things like play with friends and eat a lot of food because the next day I would be gone. I'd just make sure that before I die I will make sure I have the time of my life.

Photo Inspired Poetry

2009-10-05T11:29:00.000-07:00

Not all heros got Super Powers
But they do work for hours,
Working hard and saving lives
Saving people from guns and knives.

I'm a hero myself
No costumes on my shelf,
just me revealing the truth
Not like superman in a phone booth.

Don't believe the lies about heroes
that you learn about on the TV shows,
Villans aren't real
But there are criminals who kill.

Dangers of Sexting

2009-05-05T08:10:00.000-07:00

I received the message you sent me about taking pictures of my self and I have to say no because I don't want to have my pictures shown to lots of people and I don't trust anyone with pictures of me. I don't want my privacy Exploited to the world because what happens if someone saw it and then sees me in person and laughs or makes jokes about me. It would make my life a living hell if I get bothered by someone everyday because of a picture. I could also get arrested and go to jail as a sex affender. My answer is no.

LeBron James Poem

2009-04-02T11:29:00.000-07:00

He shoots, Dunks, He does it all
He does his best when he holds the ball,

The second best player in the league
He has a lot of energy, he doesn't fatigue,
Kobe's the best player in the NBA
But LeBron will be some day,

LeBrons team is the Cavaliers
He passes the ball to his piers,

Lebron is cool
He went to the NBA right after school,
No college
But we need knowledge,
To be where he is today
At the NBA.

Fun With Flickr: Photo Storytelling

2009-02-26T11:13:00.000-08:00

You think I'm a freak, right? But there's a very good explanation for this. It all Started when I was sitting in my room and thought to myself and said" I should grow a beard". I went to my fathers room while he was in the bathroom. I looked through his closet and found a cream that says" Need Some Hair". I took it with me to my room and rubbed it on my chin. It says" rub a little bit of it on the spot you want to grow hair. I rubbed a little to much on my chin and the hair began to grow in about 5 minutes. I was happy but then realized it has grown to much it grew so much I got tangled and wrapped up in it. That is how this all happened.

Instruction Manual for life

1. The Video is about a boy who's family all own cupboards and the cupboards are a metaphor for there families beliefs and the boy believed the beliefs differently than the way his parents believe it. He starts to realize it's not what they believe it's what you believe.

2. I Agree with the Message because just because someone believe that something is supposed to be a certain way doesn't mean you can't believe in a different way.

Dream Decoding/No Reflection My Interpretation

2009-01-07T09:52:00.000-08:00

In my dream there was a mirror that I couldn't see my reflection in. I think it means that sometimes It's hard for me to see my true self. It scared me because I couldn't see myself but then my sister seen me. I think it means that she could see me differently from the way I see myself like she could understand me more than I can. I think she can see what type of person I am more than I can is because I do a lot for her like going to the store and most of the things she does I do with her.

No Reflection (My Dream)

2009-01-07T09:40:00.002-08:00

I woke up in my dream and went straight to the bathroom. I used the bathroom, washed my hands and then I looked in the mirror. I saw that I wasn't in the mirror. In the dream I thought I was dreaming So I knew it was a dream. I started to wipe my eyes and rubbed them and looked in the mirror and I still didn't see my reflection. I wondered can anyone else see me. so I went to my room and laid down on the bed. My sister came in and said" what's up Marcus". I knew other people could see me then. I don't remember our conversation but when it was done I woke up.

Losing His Friends To Weed...

2008-12-21T15:55:00.000-08:00

1. I think the decision he made was a good one because he didn't do drugs just to fit in with his friends and even though they were his best friends. But it was hard for him to choose because he didn't want to do drugs but he didn't want to lose his friends because of drugs so he hung out with his friends not doing drugs.

2. No, Not that I remember.

*Extra Credit

I think some kids want other kids to go along with what they're doing because if they get in trouble they won't get all the blame on them. I think it is hard for people to accept those who are different because you others to be like you but they aren't.

Bag the bags

2008-12-18T18:40:00.000-08:00

1. The plastic bags go away somewhere in the ocean. No one comes to clean it up.

2. I think it is bad because it is a certain material that might not be good for the fish or sea creatures. It is also poluting the ocean.

3. I think if people want to stop poluting the ocean with plastic bags they should not use plastic bags, they should use Brown Paper Bags.

Dear Petland,

2008-12-17T09:31:00.000-08:00

I think petland is a good company and the way you treat your pets are okay, but why do you buy dogs from puppy mills? You do not give the dogs enough space so it can move around in it's cage. I think buying from puppy mills is wrong. they stay in a truck with someone driving them from miles away. Why do you put them in cages with thin and sharp bars that they can cut themselves with? And why don't you give the dogs enough food and water and don't even bother to clean there cages once in a while.

Sincerely,

Marcus

Nasty Concoction

2008-12-16T08:07:00.000-08:00

If I could mix 3 nasty things to give to someone to eat I would mix Jelly, Tomatoes sauce and French Fries. I would blend it and put it on a sandwich. I would lie tell them its a surprise. They would eat it and I would wait until they are finished eating and then tell them what it is. But to not make it obvious I would eat a sandwich to. I would eat a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich.

They would get mad but then we all eat another sandwich but this time they watch me make it.

#Bonus

The weirdest game I played when i were a kid was called" Pirate Ship". You have 2 basketballs and you throw them if one person misses a catch and they don't get ahold of the ball in five seconds they get Out. You get 3 chances to go O.U.T. If you get O.U.T You are out. If the balls hit each other you have to catch your ball to avoid getting out. Thats the weird game I used to play when I was a kid.

Stopping Pet Homelessness

2008-12-11T11:25:00.000-08:00

1. I think it means that you have to be responsible and take risks and always treat your pet like humans. If a pet does something bad, deal with it because it's not like a human to fight back when you hit it. Always take it for a walk and play with it, Feed it and give it something to drink, Take it to the vet when it is sick and get it neutered. It is important to get a dog neutered because if you don't want your dog to have kids it always can.

2. I think people and dog owners who want to help overpopulation of dogs and dog homelessness can get the dogs neutered and help homeless dogs have a place to live.

Buyers Remorse

2008-12-09T08:16:00.000-08:00

Animal Cruelty

2008-12-03T09:43:00.000-08:00

I think people can prevent Animal cruelty is to only let people who they trust to have a dog. I think it is wrong because people treat animals like they shouldn't but the people who treat them bad act like animals so who's the real animal. I think people should try to stop it by having animal patrols around areas so they can make sure nothing bad happens to animals.

I think that death is always a tragedy but it is always for a reason so I Get use to the person who died not being around anymore.

Two Brothers By: Marcus Davila (Ela Project)

2008-11-13T16:42:00.000-08:00

" I'll Race You, Said James. " 1,2,3... Go," said Michael. So they start to swim and halfway there Michael says " lets play basketball after this,". " Okay, but first let's have a diving contest over at the diving board," James replied. James gets to the other side of the pool first and wins.

So there walking over to the diving board and James says " I'm going to do a Frontflip and dive in. What are you going to do?" " I am going to do a 540 degree backflip and dive in,". After the contest they decided who won and it was Michael.

James and Michael go to the basketball court. They begin to play and then some kid Michael knows named "Rico" asked " Can I Play?". James Nods and says " Yeah you can play, do you want to play one on one with me?". He nods.

As they start to play Michael sits down to see who wins. About 10 Minutes later James wins 21-15. " Good game," said James " Your pretty good". James stuck out to his hand to shake with Rico but Rico didn't want to shake hands. By the look on Rico's face James could tell he was a soar loser. Rico said " lets fight,". James looks at him and says " It's just a game," and then walks over to the bathroom.

In the bathroom Michael and James wash there hands. Rico comes in and says " Fight me mama's boy," to James and then pushes him onto the floor. Michael punched him in his face and he knocked out instantly. " He's knocked out" said James and giggles.

They start to walk to their home and James says " Thank you for helping me out over ther in the bathroom. If you weren't there, I probably would have been there knocked out on the floor just like Rico,". Michael says " It's okay, besides what are brothers for,".

Five Senses Minus One

2008-11-12T09:33:00.000-08:00

If I had to give up one sense for the rest of my life it would be to smell because Any other sense gone I couldn't live with. I would give up my sense of smell because if someone farted I wouldn't smell it or if someone smells nasty I won't have to smell. I couldn't live without taste because I like eating food and knowing what it taste like. I couldn't live without sight because I like seeing my surroundings. I couldn't live without feeling because if I won't get hurt and everything would be boring. I can't live without hearing because I won't know what everyone is doing or talking about.

2008-11-05T09:36:00.000-08:00

1. I think this is a good thing Barack Obama because if John Mcain would have won then everything would have been the same, but Obama he cares about more good things about the country than John Mcain would have.

2. I hope Obama can help the poor and allow kids 12 years of age to work as they please because some kids don't mind working for money sometimes because It would be good if sometimes the kids get to give the adults money.

If I could Stand by anyone in a picture it would be Martin Luther King.

I would ask him how could one person like you make a big difference in the world. He would answer in a big speech.

Tattoos

2008-09-25T11:06:00.000-07:00

I think people should get tattoos because it's there choice to do what they want to do with there body.
I think people should not get tattoos is because it makes people look ugly if they get to much tattoos, there damaging there bodies and it's painful to get.

Becoming A Gold Miner

2008-09-24T09:33:00.000-07:00

I am a young boy name Marcus and I am a Gold Miner. 1 thing I am scared about working at the Gold Mine is putting Mercury on my hand, I know it attracts gold but I am scared every-time I put it on my hand. The reason why I get scared of putting it on my hand is because I can get a disease like Mental Retardation. Working at the Gold Mine is not fun unless I get to work with my friends, but most of the time I am not happy. If I could change anything it would be for me not to work until I am an adult. It would be for every under aged kid to work when there an adult.
