Literary Society should consist of watching portions of films, episodes, and/or clips. We will then analyze them and/or fully discuss them. Also, literary society should consist of all of us choosing a book/short story that interests us -- and talking about the topics in them. We will also do writings that we share with one another. In addition, we will learn how to further comprehend complex texts (including poetry, etc.)

I take a decision, I make my decision, I don’t regret my decision. I love we’re I am, I will not left my peaceful place, I will not take the risk of losing everything. I travel for the opportunity, I travel for the love, I travel because that was my decision.

Third year of me attending mineola
Time went fast
Remembering how freshman year I came here
Things really changed a a lot
Flash back,
How I made friends
How I fit in the society
How I passed my class.....
And now,
I have friends around
I find my way of being a member of mineola
I do fine academically
When I Leave this village and high school
I shall keep things up
And I’ll never forget the life I live in mineola

I make a commitment and I stick with that; I don’t break it. I can’t afford to make a mistake. Though some times may be hard, this is the right place to be because I am committed.

Creating, I’m always creating.
I’m always creating something! I’m an artist, I’m an overachiever.
I make up melodies in my head, and I write lyrics like a machine.
I make beats with my hands and I hum in my head.
Some may call me crazy but music is my passion and it’s what makes me at ease. I express myself, I’m a dreamer, I’m a thinker, I live my life like I’m in a music video. I want to head west on twenty, in a car I cannot afford, with a plan I don’t have yet. I want to explore the world, be spontaneous and go on adventures.
I want to allow my mind to learn new things everyday, and expand my knowledge about the world.
Being on stage, singing in front of people, making them happy, hearing them recite my lyrics back at me, thinking about this makes me feel free, fresh, and happy.
I won’t stop putting 100 percent in anything, because in this life you must put your all and work hard for what you want, and I’m a hundred percent sure of that.

The air crisp as a pringle chip

Thermometer drops

The drop, subtle to the lip

Comfortable enough to rake leaves on top

Autumn has arrived

The trees bursting in warm colors

Pumpkins thrive

Here comes my mother

With the pie

Everybody knows, nobody's talking. . . .

Seventeen-year-old Skylar Thompson is being questioned by the police. Her boyfriend, Jimmy, stands accused of brutally assaulting two young El Salvadoran immigrants from a neighboring town, and she's the prime witness. Skylar is keeping quiet about what she's seen, but how long can she keep it up?

But Jimmy was her savior. . . .

When her mother died, he was the only person who made her feel safe, protected from the world. But when she begins to appreciate the enormity of what has happened, especially when Carlos Cortez, one of the victims, steps up to demand justice, she starts to have second thoughts about protecting Jimmy. Jimmy's accomplice, Sean, is facing his own moral quandary. He's out on bail and has been offered a plea in exchange for testifying against Jimmy.

The truth must be told. . . .

Sean must decide whether or not to turn on his friend in order to save himself. But most important, both he and Skylar need to figure out why they would follow someone like Jimmy in the first place.

LOVE POETRY....

Love is less than......
Love is more than....
Love is........
Love is like......

# data[].attributes.body
Love is like music to my ears

Love is a feeling that lasts for years

Love is sweet as honey

Love is worth more than money

Love is like a dish topped with breading

Love is like a rose spreading that never ending

Love is your heart always beating

Love is like sleep always dreaming

# data[].attributes.body
Love is like.....

# data[].attributes.body
Love is the fire that we can easily turn on and hardly turn off.

Love is the fantasy that we all follow.

Love is the addiction that we don’t want to stop.

Love is that one pain that stays with your forever.

Love is the acceptance we have towards each other on the outside and inside.

Love is the barrier that I everyone would want to break .

Love is that feeling anyone would desire and nostalgic every night.

Love is the feeling that we must keep and protect so we can be the inspiration to others.
