I think that it was a good thing that the main character was fired at the end because I think that if you are a writer then you should not be making up stuff especially when you are saying that your story is nonfiction. The main character I think had either a couple of mental problems where he thought things were actually happening when they really weren't or he just had a really vivid imagination that helped him create his stories. It was a good thing that he was fired because he had written around 47 stories and half of them were fake so just imagine how more fake stories he would have written if he had not been fired.
I also think that it was a good thing that he got fired because he eventually graduated law school and I think that deep down inside he might have liked law school more than journalism. I also feel that the main character should go off writing fiction stories instead of non fiction books because he would be very good at it and people would respect him more because they would know that the book contains things that are not real.

The Place Where I Want To Be
Giovanni Orfin
Professor Anthony
English 101
9 April 2014
The
Place Where I Want To Be
The
place where I want to be at and will always remember the most is the
casino. The casino I think is a great
place to be at only if you know how to control yourself and if you know when to
stop and when to keep going. The casino
is like a big temptation that is always manipulating you to keep spending more
and more of your money and that is when people develop gambling problems and
for those people the casino is definitely not a place where they want to be at
for the sake of themselves and their money.
But for people like me who can control themselves and always win at a
casino in this case the casino is the place to be.
The
reason why I remember how a casino looks like and how it feels is because
whenever I was little and I lived in California my grandma always used to take
me and my brother to the casino. My
grandma used to go all the time because she never really lost at the casino she
was always winning which always made her happy.
Even though my brother and I couldn’t really do anything at the casino
because we weren’t old enough I enjoyed being there because I just loved
listening to the sounds that all of the slot machines were making and the sound
of the coins dropping out of the machine.
I also liked all of the changing lights that the slot machines made and
that is why I liked the casino so much.
The
reason why my grandma liked going to the casino was be she was always going
with her mom when she was younger so I guess the casino kind of grew on my grandma
as well as me. When my grandma was at
the casino with her mom she always watched her win at every slot machine and
that is why my grandma started playing slot machines with her. My grandma would win and she always got lucky
on all of the machines and usually never lost.
My grandma always told me that her mom used to stay at the casinos until
8 in the morning and would fall asleep in the chair but her hand kept on
pushing the button. She told me that one
day that she was pushing the button while she was asleep she hit the jackpot
and didn’t even know it because she was asleep and I don’t really remember what
happened with the jackpot because I don’t remember what my grandma told me
after that.
I
have always wanted to go to the casino for years but I was never old enough and
still had to wait to get older. Once I
was 18 I thought to myself “only 3 more years and then I can go to the casino!”
and that was when my mom told me “there is a casino called downstream that lets
18 year olds in” I was just stunned after hearing that. The place was pretty far away and my parents
couldn’t drive me down there nor could I but when I was in MSU I was hanging
out with the fraternities and they started talking about taking a trip down to
downstream. They said that all of the
fraternities were going and they were taking new people with them so I joined
them and was headed to downstream.
When
we go to the casino the outside looked awesome and the building was very big. As I stepped inside the casino it just
brought back memories because for the first time in like 10 years it was the
first time that I had seen slot machines!
I also heard every single sound that the machines were making and all
the lights they were giving off. I felt
the machines and some of them felt really old and some felt new and I was just
feeling so good being in a casino again and it felt even better that I knew I
was going to get to play them. The only
thing that I didn’t like about the casino was all of the smoke! The smoke was just making my throat hurt,
drying up my contacts, making my nose sting, and made me dizzy but other than that
it was great!
I
kept on looking around the place and it just looked beautiful, the building,
the designs, the architecture, and everything looked good. I noticed that there were some pretty
interesting restaurants in the casino and I could smell some of the food even
with all the smoke in the place. There
were a lot of old people in the casino that looked like they had been there for
a while, some of them had happy faces and some of them had really serious
faces. I was looking forward to playing
my first slot machine!
I went over to a random slot machine
and I had no idea how to play it so I just started pushing buttons and I pushed
the button around 3 times and I realized that I was playing on the worst slot
machine for me. The slot machine I was
playing made me bet $15 each time! I had
lost $45 in like 10 seconds so I only had 5 dollars left which sucked. I said all well and just went to the cheapest
slot machine, which were the penny slots and just started playing on that. Even though I wasn’t winning anything I was
still having loads of fun just sitting there and watching the reels spin and
watching the lights flash.
The
penny slots are pretty fun to play on because you don’t have to worry about
losing a lot of money and I knew not to expect to win a lot of money from a penny
slot machine. In the first place I
didn’t even want to win money at the casino because I just didn’t care at the
time all I cared about was just being at the casino to have a good experience
and to have a good time. Fun, that is
what I got out of the casino at the end of the day even though I lost my money.
About
a month later I asked my family to go to the casino with me and they agreed to
go so we all got on the casino bus that drove us from Springfield to Downstream. When we got there I went to the most
appealing slot machine that I saw and I clicked the button a few times and I
had won $300 and at the end of the day I was happy. I kept on going to the casino in the future
and the 3rd time I won $600 and then the 4rth time I won $180. Even though I loved the casino I now loved it
even more because I kept on wining a lot of money every time I went which made me
so happy and that is why I like being at the casino.

If I were a crayon
If could choose to be a crayon of every color then I would probably be blue because that is just my favorite color. People would always be using me to create different kinds of drawings that would probably be peaceful drawings for example they would be drawing rivers, skies, and oceans. They would use me pretty much to draw nature. The color blue is the best color I think because a lot of things are blue and because a lot of other peoples favorite color is blue. If i were alive as the crayon then I would probably just jump around all over the room and explore places that I could get to as a crayon and just tons fun while being a crayon. I would always probably draw all over the walls I until I made myself run out of wax which would make me end up dead because there would be nothing left of me.

Andrews Custom Writing
Andrew has a business on custom writing where you can buy essays for a certain price or you can have your essay corrected for. Some people are thinking that his business is bad for students because a lot of students are going to his website and buying essays and its bad because it is considered cheating. When student go to his website and buy essays they are not really learning anything and they are cheating their way for a good grade and a lot of people are blaming Andrew and thinking he is a bad guy for doing and I don't think he is bad at all and here is why.
I don't think that Andrew is bad because I view him as just a guy trying to make a living off a business that he has come up with all by himself. I just don't get how people can blame for people just buying essays from because the only person that can be blamed s the person who is buying from. People have also been saying that he website is all about plagiarism and i don't think it is because even though it is not your work you still are paying for the information which makes you the owner of the paper.

Secret Agent
This story is about a CIA agent who
receives a brief case from another agent that is loaded with technology and can
mostly do anything. When the agent is
sitting down he is eating a doughnut and as he is eating it a bird sees the
doughnut and lands next to the agent. It
is obvious that the bird wants the doughnut so the agent gives him a little
piece to taste but the bird did not want a piece he wanted the whole
thing. When the bird tries to get the
doughnut he falls into the briefcase and gets trapped inside of it. The bird starts pushing random buttons and
this activates certain functions, which make the brief case do crazy things
like fly and shoot lasers. After fighting
with the for a little the agents feels defeated and deceives the bird by giving
him the doughnut which the bird didn’t get because the doughnut falls into the
briefcase and activates a button.

Sky rain
I like it when it starts raining outside because I just like the sound that the rain makes. I also like looking at the rain fall from the sky because since there are many drops it makes it look interesting. What I don't like about the rain is being out in it because its really annoying have to walk around with a wet shirt and you would eventually get sick from being outside to long. I don't like driving out in the rain because the roads are always slippery and my car could always hydroplane which puts me at more of a risk for getting into a car wreck which is what I really dont want. Another thing that I like about the rain is that when someone else is driving me around at night and its raining I like to look at the road and see the reflections of light coming off of it. Overall I really do like rain because I think that it is just beautiful.

Chocolate Protein Pancakes
Giovanni Orfin
English 101
Mrs. Kelly Anthony
3/26/2014
The reason I started cooking by
myself was because I started lifting weights and I wanted to eat
healthier. My parents always made their
food with a lot of oils and always made some kind of dessert with added
sugar. They were always adding a lot of
salt to the food and a lot of other seasonings that I did not like because it
just tasted bad to me. I started cooking
myself because I wanted eat healthier, whenever I wanted, and I wanted to eat
whatever I wanted. I learned to cook by
having my dad teach me and having YouTube help out also. One of my favorite foods to cook was a
protein pancake.
The reason why I like making the
protein pancake is because it is just so easy to get all of the ingredients
together and it does not take much time at all to make it. The ingredients are also all cheap and I
always have so much available in my fridge.
I also make the pancakes because I lift weights and I think that it is a
great post workout meal and it helps me recover from my workout because it has
so much protein in it and it also taste very good. I made the pancake myself without following a
specific recipe I was just bored one day and decided to make a pancake my own
way which turned out pretty great.
I would eat
the protein pancake after I came home from the gym and I really liked the
pancake because it was a huge pancake and it tasted like chocolate. The ingredients of the pancake were 5 whole
eggs, half-cup flour, half a cup of Greek yogurt, and my chocolate whey protein
powder. Once the ingredients are together then I put them in the frying
pan and then wait a couple of minutes.
As the pancake is cooking I always like seeing how huge it gets when it is done cooking,
it triples its original size. I also
like the hearing sizzle
that the eggs make when they are being cooked.
Once the
pancake is done and ready to eat I take it out of the frying and put it in the
biggest dish that I can get (that is how big it gets) and set it on it. The pancake smells like pure chocolate and always looks so
good and even though I feel
so tired after the gym I always feel energized after I am done eating the
pancake. The reason why I like pancakes
in the first place is because when I was little my grandma used to make my a
lot of pancakes mainly chocolate ones and I always thought that it was the best
dessert in the world. My grandma can’t
make my pancakes all the time and they are always unhealthy so that is why I
decided to make my own version of pancakes that way they can be healthy and so
that I can eat them whenever I want.
