Grade 9

The Friday everything changed Questions

1. Because then less boys will be doing it and getting to miss class to carry the water bucket. It’s also a sign of power and they don’t want the girls getting that amount of power like there is at River Hebert.
2. They bully the girl who gave the idea of girls carrying the water bucket, Alma Niles. This makes the girls work together more in protecting Alma as this could be something that changes how the girls will be at this school.
3. It’s told from the point of an unnamed character. She thinks Mrs. Ralston is beautiful and a strong woman. She thinks the girls should be able to carry the water.
4. It is more of a rural Ontario area which is given when they talk about Toronto maple leafs. The time seems to be after one of the world wars as they talk about German warplanes with bombs. The conflict is girl’s vs society as they are shown to be not at the same level as males in their school society.
5. Alma Niles, because she is the person the whole story started because of. When she asked why girls don’t it started the whole story off.
6. Everything changed that Friday because girl’s got to go carry the water bucket which gave them power. Ms.Ralstons action is the last paragraph shows that females are not lesser than males. The theme/message of the story is equality between genders.

THE END

My area of true freedom, complete tranquility somewhere I can go to forget the problems of the world, the Basketball Court .The second I step onto the hardwood floor, my negative thoughts are all wiped away and I am filled with never-ending joy, as if it was my first time stepping onto the court and picking up a basketball. The court is my canvas and every time I step onto it I create a masterpiece. When I have the ball I feel like the world is placed in my palms. I feel like nothing can go wrong, nothing can stop me, not the referee and definitely not the opposing team. I’m in my territory, where I am the best, every decision, every move and every shot I take is the right thing to do. When I’m on the court it’s just me the court and the ball I have no fear, no pressure, just mounds of self-confidence.

I jumped happily out of bed to look through the window as i knew there would be lots of glorious snow as I charged downstairs after getting ready in my wool sweater, my new coat, and my very useful snow pants. I swung open the door and rushed outside to meet the wonderful weather. The dazzling blue sky had been replaced with a misty glacial freeze. The fluffy snow was decorating the trees with a beautiful white outline of fluff. The unique snowflakes fall delicately from the white cloudy skies onto the ground, where they can be rolled up tight into a friendly snowman. I dived into the white, fluffy snow in front of me and stared up at the sky at all the snowflakes falling and making this land a mysterious white color. I also saw the clusters of trees towering above me catching the snow before it hit me.

Music is a fascination. It can take a person out of their ordinary life and place them in a world of their own imagination. When I hear it, the sound of the pleasant music rejuvenates  and heals me while taking me to somewhere else, where I don’t have to worry about anything. As I go on spotify and put on a great song and am immediately calmed, it resonates through my blood giving my energy throughout my body. It’s a strong melodious tune, very rhythmic soothing me as I got enthralled and sucked into the music as it puts me in a small area in my mind where anything can happen and everything is within my control. A place where everything is always okay and I don’t have to worry about anything. It bring out my deepest emotions it helps me through whatever I’m going through and is always reliable to be there when no one else is there.

1.Your digital footprint will be looked for when you try to get into a college/university as they check your digital footprint, the same thing occurs when you do an interview, they will check your digital footprint to see if your good and professional or bad and lazy. They’d make sure your qualified to be working at their establishment.

2.Don’t post anything bad, don’t get peer pressured into posting something you don’t want to post. Make sure not to post anything inappropriate and especially don’t bully people or say rude or mean things about anyone over the internet.

3. I would pass on the fact that if you post something, it’s there forever on your digital footprint and will be extremely hard to take off, almost impossible to take off of your digital footprint. If anyone ever looks you up, it’ll be there for them to look at. Social media can be a very dangerous thing if you don’t use it correctly. Also, it’s not even good to do those bad things even if their not posted. Actively support those around you, if you wouldn’t want your parents to see it, it means it shouldn’t be posted.
