Mixed feelings Blog.....

So our topic 2day for our blog is to talk about Cannabis (Marijuana) (ganja) there are many different type of names for it but thats not wut i have mixed feelings about. When i hear the word marijuana i think about yhe sound clip from one of TOOLS albums. It said youre against drugs and u look down apon the people that do them, but think of your favorite song and that artist was "REALLLLLL f****ing high on drugs" And i think this is true for the most part...when i think of marijuana i think Woodstock, i think California, i think those stupid commercials they show on T.V. bout "how it is when you smoke weed" there are many different people that do it....Lawers, Doctors..etc....Im nOT saying its ok. All im saying is IT'S NOT GONNA MATTER IF ITS LEGAL OR NOT PEOPLE ARE STILL GONNA DO IT jus like they are doing TODAY....i personally do not see what bad it is doing ....why is weed bad hu??? Bcuz the government says so? weed has been around for ages..it actually helps treat with alot of things such as Depression Huntington's Disease, Leukemia, Parkinson's Disease, and Sickle-Cell Disease. Personally i do not see what telling our kids NOT 2 do weed is going to help yes it will but there gonna do wut they want no matter wut. Just like drinking or having Sex...it all depends on the individuals values.

??????What is a Narrative??????

Hmmmmm....what is a narrative?
Anarrative is a type of writing that has a beg, mid, and end to it. One example of this would be a childrens book called "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister. It is a great book to teach children not to make fun of others or be too conceited. But it also has a mixed message bout conforming
so u might want 2 read this 2 urself b4 u read it 2 ur class. Never the less it fits Dr. Harris"s definition of a narrative it has details it has a setting, it has a plot and it has characters, and it has a hook which is NOT a sentence but the illustrations (glitter).
there is a narrative almost every where such as poems which can b personal. But do not get confused between a narrative, persuasive which is convincing someone to do something, descriptive which decribes something, and expressive which has excessive detail.
lol idk if i did this blog right but if u read it comment so i can fix it....thnx guys

My Narrative for Dr.Harris
Gabriella Muniz
The Fluffy's Unknown Powers

Beginning:
1st sentence: Did you know clouds have powers?
2nd sentence: Have you ever heard of the Fluffy's?

Middle:
*The Fluffy's are a cloud family
*They have three children named Nimbostratus, Stratocumulus, and Stratus
*But they like to be called Nimbo, Strato, and Stratus for short.
*Nimbo, Strato and Startus are supposed to go to school
*But end up wondering into some unknown territory
*Get into a rain, lightning and wind storm fight
*They have to work together to get out of trouble, so their parents do not find out
*They learn they all have secret powers
*The fluffy's have to do extra house work because they missed school
*They end up telling their parents any way
*They learn they should never miss school again unless its an emergency.

End:
So out of all that adventure the Fluffy family realize they should not have missed school and will never do it again because nothing good came out of their "adventure".
