WORST DAY EVER!

You never know when something could go bad. It could happen anytime, anyplace, anywhere. It could be a giant disaster or just something simple like getting a scrape on your knee. But what happened that one day made it the worst day ever and it just kept getting worse. That day nothing went right. That day I went rock climbing with my sisters.

The day started out normal. Me waking up when I wanted to not having to wake up to go to school or a softball game. I finally got to sleep in and I was happy. Then came breakfast time. I was happy, ready to go eat my favorite cereal but then when I went to pour in into the bowl there was nothing left. I was so mad, first there was no cereal but also someone put the box back when it was empty. They got my hopes up then crushed them down. Since there was no cereal left I had to eat something I didn't want to eat. That morning sucked.

After the lame breakfast I had I went to watch t.v. for a while. But just watching it got me really bored so I walked around the house looking for something to do. There was nothing, of course. I looked outside and it was nice. The sun was out and there were no clouds. I finally found my sister April, even though I didn't bother to look into my other sisters rooms for them. April was in the living room sitting on the couch watching t.v. too.
I spoke up, "Hi, I'm bored."
"What do you want to do?"
"I Don't know."
"Hmm do you want to... go rock climbing?"
"Hmm yea! Who else is here?"
"Ally and Heather. Go see if they want to go."
"Okay!"
I went looking for my other two sisters. I found Heather first.
"Hi, me and April are going rock climbing wanna come?"
"Sure, when we leaving?"
"Soon, so get dressed."
"Got it."
I left Heather to go find Allyson. I don't think she would want to go because of here knee but I asked anyways.
"Allyson, wanna go rock climbing with me, April, and Heather?"
"Nah, my knees bugging me. Maybe next time."
"Okay, next time."
I doubt she go next time too.

We went to the rock climbing area in Topanga Canyon. I like that place because there was always something new to explore. That day the day seemed fine. Sun was out and you could here birds chirping. We started to climb. We wanted to go higher than we usually do so I was excited.

Bill Clinton Speech

Sara Namay

7 October 2009

Bill Clinton said a speech in front of the whole United States of America saying that he lied to everyone and he was sorry for don't that. He lied to everyone about having a relationship with his secretary Monica Lewinsky. Clinton in fact did have a sexual relationship with Miss Lewinsky and when people found out he denied it at first. Then she said he did do it but that America should move on and don't talk about his private life.

Bill Clinton used a propaganda technique called red herring. Red herring is where someone or something diverts the auidences attention to another detail instead of the main one. Clinton used red herring by telling the United States to move on with therir lives instead of talking about his relationship with Miss Lewinsky. Bill Clinton states, "Our country has been distracted by this matter for too long..." (Clinton 16). Also Clinton expostulated, "It is time to stop the pursuit of personal destruction and the prying into private lives and to get on with our national life" (Clinton 15). These quotes show how Clinton told the United States to move on with thier lives and forget about this incident.

I think that Bill Clinton has bad ethos. He has bad ethos because he lied infront of the whole United States of America. Then he just told eveyone to stop "prying into private lives" and move on with there own. So I do not think that Clinton is trustworthy if he could deny and lie infront of the world.
