Quickwrite#8: Pro-drug or Anti-drug

I think that the song ,"Wearing a Raincoat" is a pro-drug song. The reasons why I think it's a pro-drug song is because it says,"Needing a friend to talk you down is food that comes from a pipe." What I think it means is that you fill your nourishment by using a pipe and a pipe is what you use to smoke tobacco and drugs. In the song, it also says,"You will turn to drugs to help you sleep," and what I think it means is that there are medications to help you sleep, but it is also made out of drugs. If you take an overdose of the medication, you will be a little unconscious or you will do something that you didn't mean to do. These are reasons why I think this song is a pro-drug song.

Quickwrite#7: What I Want

The thing that I want in the whole wide world is a CD that really catches my attention and I want it so bad. What's keeping me from getting is the stores because every time I go there, I don't see it anywhere. Another reason is because my sister promised me she would buy it for me, but she left for college. We also don't have that much money and that's why my dad is working two jobs. The second thing that I want is an Ipod touch. I have a Ipod nano, but the screen broke and it's a good thing it still works. What's keeping me from getting is the third reason from the first thing that I want. Another reason is because we are trying to save money for my sister to pay college. These are the things I really want in the whole wide world.

Quickwrite #5: Fairy tale

My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella. The reason why I like it is because it reminds me when I was little and I used to dress up like Cinderella and it is so nice that she gets a happy ending and does not end up with the same,awful life. What I would do to make it more better is by describing what happened to her parents and how she got a stepmother. My least favorite fairy tale is  Jack and the Beanstalk. The reason why I don't like it is because it keeps saying the same words like "Fe, fi , fo ,fum". I don't like the rhymes. The only way to make it better is instead of a goose that lays eggs, make it an angel and Jack saves her from being eaten later on.
