sullivan rwanda

In Sullivan is full of groups like popular were I think they get more special perks then normal people there are the geeks/nerds who rather stay with there friends which I apperciate, then the band people the drama people the white the browns and the asians so this school is so mixed with everything but in rwanda there only two groups of people the tutsi and the hutu I consider the tutsi the popular kids and the hutus are everyone else.

I think that the perks that the popular kids get inmy head are more then the average joe if they get in trouble the principles would let them go, the popular kids I think are more spolied then the average child. The other kids and they feel about the popular kids, well there power and social life,there are mostly spolied to do more expensive things that other kids can't and I think that alot of "less popular kids" would love to be a "popular kid". Some assort their authority, by hanging in huge groups of people, others assort theres by how much stuff they can get away with compared to a "normal kid". Since it is in school there will never be a revolt but if it was not I think yes cause you see it alot today the underdog is more like then the overdog, like in the hunger games the poorest kids beat the richer kids. So if it was not in a school environment I would think that most kids would revolt because they want money,babes,power,living in big houses.

A Father's Last Stand

I'm not really good at the things that my teacher said, but I will try my best at it,out of the three of make your own song,make your own short story, and make your own poem, and I picked the poem one,  I think that I would be better at it than the others. I will make four stanzas, about the genocide that happened in Rwanda, and comparing that to my life.  I will compare this poem, to one of the worst days of my life, was when my Mom and Dad had the biggiest fight ever, and he was going to leave, and find another place, and I love my Dad, but I can not live without my Father. At the end of school when I was in bad class, I got a text message, that I will never get out of my head " I love you bud, And this will be the last day I will see you ever again " I don't think I've ever cried in school before, but I did that day, it was the worst terrible feeling I had ever felt in my live, and it was rainning real hard and all I had was a shirt and shorts and my back pack, I had to wait in the rain for 45 minutes, I was covered in rain and driping from the hair to my feet, then I got on the bus that took me home, and I saw my Dad and I hug him like never before, I didn't want to let go of him, we cried together in the rain in an alleyway, that is just right beside our house, and every day I love my Dad, and I can't really think of my live without my Dad.

 A Father's Last Stand- by Ryley Roosdahl

Fathers, some are hated
Some are loved
Others are in between
No matter what he is
He loves you
He fights for you
To the death
Because he loves you

When it started
The people came
Took your dad
They circled him
Vultures in day
As you watch
From far away
He sees you
And he cries

Then you hear
BANG!!BANG!!BANG!!
As you begin to cry
You look up
See your dad
Standing over them
Then your tears
Are now of joy

As you hug
You say I love you
And never want you to leave
And after that day
You hug more
And wish...
To thank god
For not letting him go

THE END

A Little Girl
A tear on her cheek
Darkness
A photograph in her boot
The face long gone
Light
Her mother's eyes
Once live now still
Darkness
Footsteps sound
They're coming now
Bang
No Darkness, No Light
