I know your copying and pasting, all you cheaters out there.

Don't try and sneak past the fact that no one I know write with that much brain power. No offense. Just because it sounds cool on the internet, won't get past the fact that everyone who reads it and knows you normally will see past the fact that compared to your usual writing, that is a serious step up. Websites use technical terms. When you write, you are supposed to paraphrase- use your own words. So before you copy and paste, think a little.

My original christmas story.

I found last year's engish assignment!

An Original Christmas Story

By Lauren Sargent

            “He is too! Tommy yelled.

            “He is not and I’ll prove it.” Said his sister, Maria, who then casually walked over to the couch and sat down, knowing how mad she was making her brother. Tommy was 12, and he STILL believed in Santa Clause. But instead of letting her mother tell him, she was going to do it herself. “How do you explain no cookies being eaten and milk being touched?!” Her mother and father didn’t always catch everything.

            “Maybe he was full!” Tommy yelled, getting red faced.

She’d really done it now.

            Tommy burst into tears and ran into his bedroom. Maria felt a slight twinge of guilt but quickly brushed it off. It was for Tommy’s own good. “Well, I better get my outfit ready for tomorrow.” She was planning on wearing the new dress she had just bought, not caring about her father’s strict rule of no buying anything for yourself after November 15. He’ll get over it, she thought. Just then, her phone beeped: ONE NEW TEXT MESSAGE, read the screen.

Are we still

going shopping

Saturday?! –Kristen

Maria quickly typed back a “yes”, she would never pass up a good opportunity for new clothes, who cares if Christmas is next week?! Just then both her father and mother came into the room.

“What is this!!” her father yelled, holding up the three new bags of clothes she had just bought.

“Oh, umm, I just bought those…” she said nervously.

“And whats this I hear about you telling Tommy that Santa isn’t real!?” Her mother yelled.

“Its time he knows!” She screamed.

“You have no right to do that.” Her mother said. “your grounded till Christmas.”

“WHAT!!!” Maria screamed.

“And not only for that, but for you buying.” Her father said. “Give me your wallet.” She reluctantly handed it over and watched as her parents stormed out of her room. She pulled out her phone and typed:

Sorry, no go on the

Shopping, I’m cut off

And grounded, long story

-Maria

“Ugh” she said, falling back on her pillows, “This is going to be the longest week of my life.”

And it was.

            Not only did she have to watch all her friends go shopping without her, but she had to come home right after school. Finally, it was Christmas Eve. “At least I’ll have new stuff to look forward to.” She said gazing at the presents and stockings. She was quiet through dinner and was finally allowed to leave and go to bed. She expected to fall asleep fast, but sleep wouldn’t come. At 3 A.M., she went downstairs to get something to drink. She heard bells. She whipped around and standing by the Christmas tree was SANTA CLAUSE. There was no way that was her dad or her mom. He winked and then in a flash, disappeared. She quickly ran over, the stockings were full and the milk and cookies gone. She ran back upstairs and flopped on her bed. “He’s real.” She thought.

The sleep finally came.

            On Christmas morning she laughed and played with Tommy, opening their stockings and presents. She even said “THANKS!” hugging her parents when they got her the clothes she had just bought a week before. Who cares, because Santa Clause is real!, she thought. She now realized how selfish she had been. How could she have said and done those things to her family!? She gave them all a tight hug. “I love you guys, I love you so much.”

The End.

My opinion...I don't really care! :)

So almost everyone has heard the big huge bombshell that Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain has sexually harassed several women. Of course, he denies all claims against him. Honestly when I got this assignment, I thought: "ehh, whatever." My personal opinion is that I really don't care. He could have done it, sure, but he also have very well NOT HAVE.

So anyways, I am a neutral party.
