Homophone paragraph

Homework was due today,we had to do 3 pages in a new book.I knew almost every answer.When I got 1 question wrong I threw the book through the door.It made a big hole in the door.I tried to cover up to the whole door but every time I tried to cover it up something went wrong.I got angrey when nothing worked and I threw all the materials that I used to cover the door through my door.By then my whole door was gone.I hoped my mom didnt here any of that.I think that she did because there was no door.There on my desk there is somse paper and some tape.I put the paper where my door was suposed to be and drew a door on the paper.I thought it would last for a week but it was to weak to last 5 minutes.I could here my mom"Maddison why is your door gone,whoes fault is this,who's gonna fix it,not me.Your grounded for a year or untill you replace this paper door with a real door.There goes my homework.

Why uniforms AREN'T good

School uniforms,this is a simple argument that has been going on since school.But even though I attend a school that makes kids wear uniforms,I don't think we should wear them.Most adults think that school uniforms are good but most kids don't.I personally don't like them because they cause money issues in families,they aren't fashionable and most kids hate wearing them.

When Bill Clinton said in his speech in 1996"If wearing uniforms is gonna stop teenagers killing each other than schools should be able to make kids/students wear them.''I disagree with him because teenagers don't kill each other to get designer jackets,yes they want them but they only want them to look cool.If teenagers don't get to look cool in fashion then they will find a nother way,like fooling around in school or doing bad things after school.So making kids in school wear uniforms will just make more problems.

School uniforms also cause money issues with families.When families have to buy school uniforms they cant buy 1 pair of clothes,they have to buy multiple sets plus gym uniforms or uniforms for what ever physical class they have.School uniforms also have to be washed a certain way which would cost more money.And when the students don't like what they have to wear than the parents would be spending money on clothes students don't like.

Uniforms have a little bit of good in them.They teach the kids discipline and make them look proper.Uniforms give them discipline because if the student doesn't wear they have no choice.Discipline makes a kid more respectful.When a student looks proper they look nice,respectful,and smart.Uniforms are also good because if students are going on a field trip than people can see what school they come from.
Even though uniforms have a little good its not enough for me to change my mind of why uniforms aren't good.

first impressions

(what's one passage u could use from "first impressions'')

Shwana pointed to the mountain of rumpled clothing"have u ever heard of a iron"."Unh unh"Thats an uneceptable attitude.Even if your clothes are spotless,if they are wrinkled youll look like a slob.If u look like a slob,people will automatically think u are a slob,with nothing worthwile to say. I garentee they wont even bother trying to get to know you.

I think that this will help my essay because it shows u how people judge u.With this infermation u can think about uniforms and how people judge them on u

enjoy
