Two places, close in status,
In Verona where the story takes place,
It all started from an old grudge and people from each place have fought ever since that day,
Where innocent people make bad people bloody.
From their mothers
A couple commit (unalive);
Whose sad and pitiful fights
cause the families to have to bury their own children.

A man woke up one morning looking through the balcony's sliding doors. The man said, " pleasant and precipitous weather."

The man was witty but also a lonely man. His ideas were always strung like spaghetti and were most of the time genius. He wasn't sad or mad, he was lonely. He just wanted to create new things to introduce to the world. Blackened like the dark arts, he created many things to destroy things or make things disappear.

I liked "The Number Devil," because it teaches about math and its in his dreams. In the start, a narrator tells about a boy named Robert and explains the first night he saw the number devil. He says, "First of all, there’s no such thing as a number devil."

Then, near the near of the story is my favorite part where the Number Devil questions the boy saying "If 2 pretzel makers can make 444 pretzels in 6 hours, how long does it take 5 pretzel makers to make 88 pretzels?" in the end of the story, Robert wakes up getting rid of the number devil.

I would rank, I am Not Thirteen Yet at the top because I enjoyed reading about a girl who got sad when her friend turned 13 and started excluding her.

Later, she went to summer camp with a girl named Margret who was 13, but was nicer then the other 13-year-olds. They slowly became better friends until they were best friends and I love the way that Margret stood up for the main character

The All-American Slurp was the least terrible story there was. It was relatable, and didn't sound like it was written for a 2 year-old. Like always, it was very over-analyzed, but the storyline was better than most.

It starts at a scene where the family of the main character is at a dinner party. They ended up finding a way to make it awkward for the whole family. After that scene, the narrator explains how her Chinese originated family ended up in the USA.

Throughout the whole story, the author finds new creative ways to embarrass the family and how our main character reacts. In the end, this story was a good choice for Edgenuity to pick, because it is relatable and realistic, while still grabbing the readers attention with plenty of humor.

Are you tired of nasty old mammals? Do you want an exotic pet? Too squeamish for a snake? Well, have I got the pet for you!

No stink, no rodents, no hair. Of course I am talking about Leopard Geckos! These adorable little lizards are small, mess-free, and will make you want 60 of them.

They have giant tails, that are surprisingly soft. They are always ready to play, but if you don't have time, these little guys are willing to sleep 24/7.

Diet? Crickets and meal worms are the answer. No dead rats here! Take it from me, one of these sweethearts will make your heart swell. Come on, you know you want one!

I liked the story "The Number Devil." I liked it because it was interesting and not like other stories, which were not that interesting and are all the same in structure.

The Number Devil deviates from that and is overall more fun to read. My favorite part is how the devil is sarcastic and wants the boy to learn more about math. I also like how he has emotions that builds character.

In all, I really liked this story and it was pretty fun to learn about. So I would have others read it or talk about it too.

I would rate Roll of Thunder hear my cry as the highest ranking story I have read using Edgenuity. It dates back to a time where there is segregation amongst black and white folk. Though it is more prominent in Chapter 8. In the text it states from T.J.'s view “Ah, man!” cried T.J. “It ain’t none of my business. ” Then, after a moment’s silence, he added, “I got too many worries of my own to worry ‘bout Cassie Uncle Tomming Lillian Jean.” This provides textual evidence of segregation and racism. This is what I like about this story.

They can be lactose intolerant

Have you ever seen cute videos of kittens and cats drinking milk, with their cute little pink tongues. WELL I HAVE. And you'll be surprised to know... Cats can be lactose intolerant. That's right some cats can't drink milk. WHYYYY CAT GODSS THEIR SOO CUTE WHEN THEY DRINK MILLKK.

They only have one life.

Have you heard those myths that cats have 9 lives, which explains why they always land on their feet? Yup cat's and kittens have only 1 life. So treat your Cat(s)/Kitten(s) well before they perish into the dark abyss known as SPACE. Space cats yes. But please no matter the animal treat them well they only have 1 life. :)

Cats always land on their feet.

No this is not true. This literally defies physics. No. Now squirrels on the other hand, they can always land, maybe not on their feet but they land. Now cats, sure they're graceful creatures but they are not quite perfect creatures.

Conclusion
I have informed you of three of your cats deepest secrets.
Cats can be lactose intolerant.
Cats only have one life.
Cats don't always land on their feet.
Thank you for listening.
CATS WILL ACHIEVE WORLD DOMINATION.

This text describes Characters. In the text it says, "[t]o look at these two," which implies that there are two characters. I can infer that they are characters also because of the saying, "Look at these two" which means usually means, 'look at these two people.'

Also from the text, it says: "One would have supposed that the tall, humanlike machine, Threepio, was the master." During the First half, it is obvious it is talking about a character given the words tall, Humanlike, and Machine are used to describe. Those words are usually meant to describe characters. Therefore the text is describing characters.

Two families, both alike in respect,
In Verona where the weather is mild, we set the scene
From hasty blood long ago, breaks into a new betrayal
Where killing innocence makes you impure
Caught in the crossfire of these two foes, two lovers head over heels for each other kill themselves;
Both of their parents' grudges gets overthrown
Due to their death, their parents bury their ancient grudge.

In a rusty but bustling Tavern, there sits a wizard by the name of Gandalf. No one acknowledges him, for he blends in with the rest of the wizard filled tavern. The only thing about him that stands out is that he's slick... slick like Mongolian oil. His wits are enough to bring the Tavern down alone. Of course though, that's not his style. He just likes to add a little flair with his maleficent charm.

He behest's wizards left and right. Little do they know, they are getting caught in his trap. He ends up trying to obtain another fellow to join his rebellion, but this one this one seems different, it's odd. It stumps him.

He starts tangling ideas in his mind. Ideas string together like spaghetti. He knows this guy from somewhere, but where? the person reminds him of precipitous weather, but also blackened like the dark arts. He trembles a little with fear.

The best story in my opinion is Wonder. The reason why its the highest rank, is because I like how simple the story is. I also like the fact that is ties in with a song called Wonder. I personally have read the book myself, but with Edgenuity its nice to always have some backstory.

Basically what is happening is that the main character Will has some physical disability with his face. Next after he has grow up home-schooled, he now has to go to 6th grade with other students. This means that he had to persevere through tough times. I think the story line is simple and easy to remember. This is why this story is my highest rank.

This is a setting because it shows the details of space and what they found out. For example, " Not until entering close orbit around it did its discoverers realize that this was a world in a binary system and not a third sun itself.".

His name is Ferry and he has an odd personality because he can be a sweet little man as pleasant as precipitous weather. Whenever we strike up a conversation it always ends up as him writing a story about it or him talking about his language arts projects. Most of the time Ferry has a good luck charm to see if his story is good or not.

He is charming and has a big wit, but whenever you insult him he gets outrageously loud and mean. I will try to say an insult he made up on the spot: The story is, one time he got hit by the school bully and Ferry got so mad that he made this insult: "wizard mis-adventurous dark arts spellbinder blackened spaghetti eating wayward man!" I'm surprised he came up with all of that. He said it as slick as Mongolian oil too! We rarely see the maleficent side of him. Ferry is a good friend, but I think you got all the information you need about him. The End.

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
From ancient fighting we break to a new story
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

The highest rank of a story for me would be Dragonwings. The story stood out more to me because it spoke about relatable experiences with life. The story was about a father and son moving to a new area learning how to deal with the environment, while also growing themselves as people when brought to new situations. The story was very heartfelt.  The father and son bonding and creating a better relationship after being put through some tough times made the story more "alive," especially with all of the honesty and how  realistic (wonderfully explained) they put the experiences and feelings to be.

Two political parties both with strong grounds,
In America, where they lay their boundaries,
Deep rooted Republicans and Democrats now lean too far,
Where the battle of dirty lies of one another spread.
The descendants of these parties will pay the ultimate price
When they protest and are permanently silenced;
Their tragedy will lead to the downfall of the two parties
And so the historic two party system will end with the rise of the Independent party.

Making your dog your best friend is really a special art, and I'll tell you three things about it.
1: It will be a journey.
2: It will be worth it
3: You wont always get to have them

1. Getting your dog to trust you and be your best friend will be a journey. A good way to start is by giving them lots of pets, treats, and love. Dogs love it just when you're around! They don't have very high expectations, but just because you can get away with only giving them some love doesn't mean you should. Only spending a few minutes with your dog will make them an okay friend, we want them to be your best friend.

2. Spending lots of quality time with your dog will make them very happy, and will make you very happy to. Studies show that just being around dogs can make you happier! Plus, intern, you get to make your dog love their home and owner, or their best friend. I know that when my dog comes running home to me after a long day it makes me happier.

3. You wont always have your dog around. This is sad, but it's okay, if you loved your dog, gave them pets and treats, then they had a good life. If you have your dog around still, let them be your best-friend, and let them have a good run before they have to go. Having your dog as your best friend will mean having a buddy that never wants to harm you. (give maybe the few times you leave your food out on the counter, but hey, you snooze you lose!)

I told you three facts about making your dog your best friend. it will be a journey, it will be worth it, even when you wont always have them around. Having a best pet friend in your life will be some of the happiest moments in your life, a journey that took you to find your friend who will never leave you, right up till the end.

This is an example of a theme. It gives the theme that everybody is scared. With the text saying, "Imperial troops as well as rebels--became silent," and, "rebel officers began to shake."

This is an example of a character. This is describing Darth Vader as a character, and how he is ruthless and not afraid to do whatever he needs to get what he wants. This is described by the author, as Darth Vader says things like "I intend to make full use of her... I will learn the location of the rebel base." He is describing how he will use all he can to discover what he wants.

Two families like each other
in NM where they live
From being angry at each other to rebellion
Where killing people makes their hands dirty

During their love they rebel against their families, though they will likely fail
But after their death their family feud ends also

In my opinion, the Riddle of the Rosetta stone was the best story that Edgenuity had. In the story there were scholars and researchers who studied the stone when it was discovered.  The stone had writing on it that the researchers could not understand and it took many people to find what the writing on the stone meant. Eventually, they were able to translate the writing. The reason I liked The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone was because it reminded me of a treasure hunt.

My dog is my best friend. She is lazy and fat, so she can't get up and leave when I talk to her about my problems. And trust me, I have a lot of problems.

Though she doesn't talk much about her problems, we always have something to talk about. Sometimes she falls asleep when I am ranting about my life, but I would probably do the same.

My dog is my best friend because she will always eat my leftovers, so my mom will let me leave the dinner table. My mom always makes the mistake of giving me too much food, but I never worry because my dog will eat it. My dogs favorite is when we have steak. She also enjoys spaghetti night as well.

My dog is also my best friend because she makes me laugh. It's not hard for her to make me laugh, in fact it happens the same way every time. She  makes me laugh when she snores. Sometimes when she is snoring, I laugh so hard that I wake her up. She can also make me laugh by doing tricks for a treat. But sometimes she gets lazy and only does one trick, but of course I still give her a treat. This is why my dog is my very best friend.

Whose bad luck and tragedies have taken over

The Wizard of Wayward wants wants destruction. He intends on nothing but maleficence. The world that took his family away from him and treated him like a waste of life was going to pay. He never wanted this to happen, he didn't intend on killing anyone. But the way they treated his family and him was nowhere near acceptable. He would not let them get away with anything like that every again.

All the stories sucked. I hated all of them but if I had to choose I would choose Seventh Grade (mostly because that's my grade). It's a story about a boy (Victor) who had just started his new year in 7th grade. At the beginning he picked French class to learn a Third language and to sit next to Teresa, his crush. After getting through his first day of school he finally entered French. As he sat down his teacher asked if the class knew French he only said yes to impress his crush. Teresa was impressed, and in the end she asked him to help her with French. Personally, to me all the stories suck, this one just sucks a little less. The story is a basic version of the Hero's Journey. Which can be good sometimes, yet this story is very bland. To be honest it is like your basic Disney movie. Also to prove how bad it is it literally says "They shook hands, Raza-style". That is like when an adult says rad. The details are also very bad, mostly because of the lack of detail a short story has. I've seen many movies with the exact same plot except different basic structures.

Are  you dumb? For many reading this, the answer is yes. Personally, I feel like you should stop being dumb, but I know that's hard to do. So, I've organized this essay to make you look smart.
Before I start, I need to tell you about the prerequisites; firstly, you need to be dumb. Secondly, you must be dedicated. I can't be teaching someone who doesn't want to work to act smart.
Alright, now I must teach you how to seem smart. The first step is to act smarter than everyone else. Yes, it does make you seem arrogant, but hey at least you'll be known as "smart."
A perfect time for this is when someone else mentions an achievement. After they say it, you need to one up them, whether it is a lie or not. You must stay Alpha. When you one up everyone, they will all know to never say an accomplishment in front of you.
Secondly, you should find loopholes in everything. While it might get you in trouble it will definitely make you seem like you have a lot more knowledge than you actually have. When you do get in trouble, you should find a loophole, for example, if the principle says "The student handbook says you can't show your shoulders." You should wear something defiant that shows shoulders and cover up just your shoulders with a cloth of some kind. It will make you seem smart to your heart's desire.
Lastly, you must, must do this; use big words. Saying "The quadratic formula doesn't seem proportional in its constant rate of how parallel the scale factor is.." sounds much better than, " The rectangle isn't straight." This is an example of how you're better than everyone. It will make you the coolest smartest person they know.
To finalize, always act like you are the smartest person you know. Make very witty comebacks when accused. Find loopholes in everything people say, and use over-exaggerate big words. Also, please do not use any of this; it was all meant to be for entertainment purposes.

The following text is an example of character. Why? Probably because the entire paragraph describes how 2 characters look. It is comparing both characters to each other. The entire paragraph talks about how the Threepio bot looks to be better and stronger, yet Artoo is just as good. It even compares and contrasts them like this "they were in fact equal in everything" which is an example of character.

The story says : "It was a vast, shining globe and it cast a light of lambent topaz." Which immediately told my brain 'planet,' which immediately told my brain, 'SETTING.' I think that this paragraph is an example of setting, because if it was the theme, it would be telling me a moral or something I should or should not do. Also, if it was a character it would tell me about a character or how a character is acting, but it's not. It's telling me about a planet and a planet is where people reside, which then becomes a setting.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of a theme since it shows a villain and a hero. My proof is right in the story where it says, "She'll die before she gives you any information." That means someone is being interrogated whether good or bad. The person interrogating is on the opposing side of them. Which ultimately proves that this promotes a theme of dark and light.

I think this is an example of character. It mentions how "she" is so powerful and how Darth Vader will use all of her power. Darth Vader said that she is the 'key,' meaning whoever it is, they are powerful in some way or another. The author says, "I intend to make full use of her. If necessary, I will use her up". This sentence tells me that she is a key to something more powerful.

Many people love Star Wars. I don't, so I'll be talking about a more interesting show. One of my favorite shows is Family Guy. Family Guy is just the humorous life of Peter Griffin, who happens to not be my favorite character. My favorite character is Glenn Quagmire. He has unlimited rizz, he is slick like Mongolian oil. He isn't poetic at all, and he has the best charm. He even tops Prince Charming. He has ideas strung like spaghetti in the entire show. That's also why he has unlimited rizz. He is also maleficent in all his ways of chaos. He creates like 30% of all the problems in the entire show. Thank you for reading my final, that I was required to do.

I liked "Holes" because it was a very creative story. All of the characters were brave, and I liked the way everyone dealt with they're problems. For example... "Stanley's father was an inventor. To be a successful inventor you need three things: intelligence, perseverance, and just a little bit of luck." Holes overall is just a very creative, smart, and telling story.

A setting. The text talks about how it looks, "It cast a light of lambent topaz into space." That describes a setting, not a character, or theme. Usually when describing characters, they mention traits, looks, and attitude, a theme is a type of thing. (story, page, drawing, etc.)

Hi. As you know, appearing intelligent is more important than actually being smart. First you need to think up random facts that sound like they could be true. Then you need to study, but only for two tests because if you can show off good grades for two tests then people will think you're smart. After you have studied a bit, keep going with the fake facts. Then a little more than a week later, look at the two tests you took. Get facts from those and then start telling those as even more facts. Then finally, if someone gets a good grade on another test then say that you helped them. Those are the ways you can seem smart without even being smart!

I think it is character. The text is talking about Threepio and Artoo Deetoo and they are characters. if it was theme, it would be talking about a place where something will or has tak(en) place. It  says "Threepio was the master and the stubby tripodal robot,...Artoo Deeto, an inferior."

We Shall Not be Moved: in Edgenuity you read the story to learn historical context. it is about women working in factories, and they did not like how they were treated working in factories, so they decided they where going to do something about it. The first thing they did was to get up from the lunch room and walk out all at once. The police where no happy about this and ordered them to return at once, or they would be struck by a bat. One of the American woman new how to telephone and called the Women’s Trade Union League, and told them to go to a big hall a few blocks away. Clinton hall became their strike headquarters. I think it was a pretty good story; it was at least a little interesting, as Edgenuity tends to not be very interesting.

I thought "The Medicine Bag" ranked as the best story in my opinion from Edgenuity. The reason why is I thought it was cool how they talked about Native Americans and their traditions. Martin had conflict over taking his great grandpa's medicine bag. By the end of the story, Martin realized how important it was to keep tradition. The story started with him, "I was so ashamed and embarrassed I could've died" (Edgenuity 1). Martin was embarrassed how frail his great grandpa looked. Then, after seeing how all the children thought his great grandpa was cool, Martin was no longer ashamed.

Martin learned what his great grandpa's heritage was by listening to his story about the medicine bag. His great grandpa's dad had a vision quest where he would be working with white man's iron. He learned he would become a blacksmith. His name was Iron Shell (Edgenuity 12). When Martin learned the history of the medicine bag, he learned how important it was for his family's tradition. By the end of the story, Martin resolved his conflict with himself.

I think "The All-American Slurp" by Lensey Namioka would rank the highest for me. It was a story that shows we are all different. It also showed the differences between the two different cultures. For instance, when they went to the Gleason's house they had never eaten raw celery before. In their culture, they would always boil any type of vegetable before eating it. But in the Gleason family, their culture is used to eating raw vegetables and not boiling them before they eat them. I like this book because it shows that people have differences and not all cultures do the same things.

There once was a man who people would describe as happy and outgoing. He was witty and had a natural way for using words.  He was very poetic when he spoke. He definitely had a special kind of charm to him. Anyone who crossed him would be drawn to him and stop to talk to him for hours. But his life was as pleasant as precipitous weather, for nothing last forever. Not even the good. One day he touched a rock that had a hidden evil. His soul became dark, blackened like the dark arts. From that day forward, the man was known as nothing less than maleficent.

My favorite story was the "Twelfth Song of Thunder.”  I really enjoyed this one because I really liked the way they loved nature like lightning even though lightning can be bad. They say they want the rain to come with them through the pollen. What I think they mean is that they want the rain to grow the plants.

Throughout the story the writer talks about the rain coming with them. As you can see in the ninth line through the eleventh line it says, "Come the rain, Come the rain with me. Through the pollen..." As you can see it is talking about having the rain follow them so the rain can grow the plants. After every phrase the author also says "Come the rain". In the third and fourth line it says, " 'Mid the lightning flashing, come the rain..." This story was better than the rest because they turned the rain from being a bad experience and turned it into a good experience.

Hi my name is Skyler, and I am here to talk to you about my dog. My dog is my best friend and he takes really good care of me.

I will cover three things my dog does to make sure I am healthy. I will cover:

1. Walks

2. Proper feeding

3. Late night drives

My dog is my best friend because she always takes care of me. Here's one reason for how my dog takes care of me, she always takes me on walks throughout the neighborhood and park. Reason number two, my dog has never missed a single meal without me, she always eats with me. Obviously she eats cereal for dinner and I will have dog food. Reason number three, she takes me on late night drives to 7/11. Though she may not be the nicest to the 7/11 clerk she always gets me treats. She also orders the clerk to give him free beef jerky flavored slushies, sounds so good, I know. My dog also lets me sleep inside... most of the time.

So in this speech I covered how my dog walks me, feeds me and takes me to 7-ll for snacks. This is why you should also have your dog take care of you.  These are the reasons why my dog is my best friend and the best owner.

There is a wit knight somewhere in these fields. His eye shadow, blackened like the dark arts. Once he found his targets, he was slick like Mongolian oil. There is a king, who is as pleasant as precipitous weather. Nobody likes the king, and so the knight will have to take the king out

My favorite story from Edgenuity has to be, “On Becoming an Inventor.” It's about Dean Kamen and him becoming a famous inventor. It starts off with him and his brother doing experiments in his basement. Then his brother goes to college then Dean starts to build things. He buys equipment and makes an invention that's used in movies: “I had just finished making a complicated piece of equipment.” I like the idea of creating things since they can be so weird and cool.

Hi my name is Elijah and I will tell you three reasons why your dog should be your best friend.

This is an example of a setting because it uses words like, “shining globe…and ‘not a sun.” This paragraph helps explain that it has, “fooled men for many years…” which we learned probably means that it could be some kind of undercover planet in this story.

This is an example of character development. I know this because it describes two robots. The reader learns that size does not mean superior between these two robots. I know this because the paragraph says, “the tall humanlike machine [was assumed] to be the master…[but were] in fact equal in everything.”

This is an example of theme I know this because Darth Vader says, “...all the rebels spies have been eliminated, and also says he is willing to torture Leia until she dies. Both of these express the theme of the sole right to conquer anyone.

Two Futbol teams both of the caliber of the World Cup

In beautiful Middle Eastern Stadiums our match plays out

A year’s long rivalry has woken up once again

Losing tournaments can turn fans away

France and Mexico clouding one another’s reputation

Do with their tie, each unite their fans again

Two gangs, alike in strength

In Los Vegas, where this story takes place

A war ages ago, starts anew

This war spills blood into the community

Between each of these gangs, two of cursed child

Grown up, fall in love, but take their lives

Whose plots and schemes bring them to the grave

Because their death, bury their parents’ hatchets

This is a theme and when the paragraph says, “...everyone – Imperial troops as well as rebels – became silent…” The theme of “oppressive” Empire is masterfully portrayed.

I think it is a setting because a setting is a place or type of surroundings. It seems here that the globe is a surrounding of the planet. The people suspected that the globe was a sun, but the example describes that "it was not a sun. Thus, "the planet had fooled men for a long time" which means that people thought it was a sun.

Grumpy was a maleficent wizard of wayward wants. Grumpy was a mis-adventurous spellbinder because sometimes he used the wrong spells and potions. He was blackened like the dark arts but he also had a charm about him. Grumpy's ideas were strung like spaghetti, like the one time he turned a toad into a witch, instead of a prince.

Two families, with the same values
In Verona, where they both live,
always have and still dislike each other,
where friendly exchanges make you seem weak,
the children of these enemies
fell in love and killed themselves;
and the unfortunate sadness and hate between the families
ended when they died.

A mis-adventurous spellbinder can be seen as maleficent, but they are just misunderstood. Their spells are actually poetic notes that they create to bring happiness to those around them. People think that they are blackened like the dark arts, but they are really pleasant as precipitous weather. When you hear them recite one of their poems, it's hard to ignore their charm as their words roll off of their tongue slick like Mongolian oil. Their ideas are rarely strung like spaghetti, but mostly filled with thought and wit like a true wizard of wayward wants.

Two families, similar in their egos bro,
The two families reside in Alabama, where we observe them,
Their past family members had a disagreement that still lives on to this day,
They have blood on their hands and they can't clean them,
Even in the great amount of hate,
Two lovers took their lives,
As they died they buried their parents hatchet with them.

This passage is a mixture of theme and character.  The theme would be diligence, this shows in "...She'll die before she gives you any information" this show Princess Leia would die to protect important information.  The character development part of it would be the development of Princess Leia shows that she is persistent and wont give up easily.

This passage could be either theme and/or character.  The theme would be manipulation because Vader is manipulating Princess Leia into giving him the location of the rebel base, as seen in this quote "If necessary, I will use her up-but i will learn the location or the rebel base.".   The character development of Darth Vader would be that he would do anything to get the information that he wants, even kill or hurt the person.

Once upon a time there was a mis-adventures spellbinder. during this time, the mis-adventure spellbinder used his powers to make people misadventure by putting ideas in their heads to make them misadventure. This resulted in people's minds being blackened like the dark arts. And during this time, people feared the Black Arts. He was gathering his army for an attack against the Wizard of Wayward. When the Wizard of wayward heard of this, he immediately called his assistant and said, "The wizard of Wayward wants his army immediately. When the mis-adventurous spellbinder heard of the ideas strung like spaghetti in his mind.

This is an example of character. It is describing the characters' features: “To look at these two, one would have supposed that the tall, humanlike machine, C-3PO, was the master and the stubby, tripodal robot, R2D2, an inferior.”
This is saying that they thought C-3PO is R2D2’s master, because of their exterior characteristics.

Two families, both alike in pride,
In fair Verona, where our story takes place
From ancient grudge, break to new revolt,
Where civil blood makes civil arrows dirty.
From forth the fatal loins of these two competitors
A pair of lovers take their life;
Whose ill-adventured, pitiful overthrows
Do with their death, burn their parents' scrap.

Two equally powerful families

In a fair city where feud is constant

From past grudges become more active

Where fights make it in everyone's daily lives

From two kids just trying to have teen love but turns sour

This pair of lovers take their lives from lack of freedom

Whose adventures turn into sad and guilt-filled stories

Due to their deaths, the families' feuds end from heartache

I would say Ramon's Run.  This one had a story instead of just describing what happened in real life.  In Ramon's Run, the characters actually have personalities.  For instance, Squeaky's mother is embarrassed of her and will walk ahead of her when she is prancing to practice keeping her knees up.  Squeaky starts off as the cockiest thing on two feet.  She immediately states that she is the "fastest thing on two feet", that's why she knows that Gretchen will not beat her in the race. Ramon we can obviously tell he has a disability but he is a pretty good runner as we see at the climax of the plot.  He races on the outside of the fence and keeps up with both Squeaky and Gretchen while running like a Naruto character, with his hands stretched behind his back.
Not only that but the characters go through story arcs.  For instance, Squeaky starts off as the cockiest thing on two feet and ends as she and Gretchen, "stand there with big smiles of respect between us.  About as real as a smile girls can do for each other , considering we don't practice real smiling every day...."

Character... character... character, this is character. you can tell that 3po is a coward is this seen as he said "... no more adventures. I'll take my chances with the imperials" and r2d2 is chastising him for it, and I quote: "...don't call me a mindless philosopher, 3po snapped back ..."

The story that I liked the most was, "From 80 years and more, The reminiscences, 1815-1897," by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. I liked this story because I feel like I have a similar-ish connection to the story.

The story is about a child who wants to have her father realize the equality of girls and boys. She tries her best to have her father see this. She learns how to ride a horse and learns Greek to impress her father. In many attempts to satisfy her father, she finally did after she had obtained the new Greek Testament.
