(thesis)The article from the Guardian says that teenagers hide their real personal image to avoid trouble.(example)Anthony Cadien is one of the teenagers that hide behind a group to hide his real stereotype.(explaination) He is afroamerican and have been caught with weed two times. Afroamerican and weed is a stereotype which is considered negative in the society and Anthony came up with a plan to avoid trouble or suspicion. He started hanging out with the geeky kids and his new friends helped him in school. This would most likely make Anthony less likely to be considered the typical weed Afroamerican stereotype.

Idiom story

Once upon a time there was a man with the name Albus. He was an everyday man but he worked at a circus wich made him stand out a little bit. One day he had a performance in a small city on the country side. The performance was bothering him so he just wanted to get over it and go to rest. His performance went down like a lead balloon and the whole crowd was angry. The circus manager gave Albus the slip and let him go of the circus. Albus had a few savings left and decided that he would go for broke in a casino the small town had. Albus went from rags to riches. Two days of being rich Albus meets up with his old circus crew. His old friends see him with new expensive cloths and a new car that he just bought. His old friends goes bananas over him and it becomes a feeding frenzy over Albus. A few hours later an old man finds Albus and calls 911. The ambulance came too late and Albus died. The circus was closed up since most of the performers were put in jail for killing an innocent man.

Dear miss Greta

I am Rasmus from the first year of the IB diploma at Stonehill International school. I and the student body at my school have problems with the food at our school and it affects our lives.
The food at our school is very bad. It is the same from week to week and a lot of students have become sick after eating it. A lot of students from my grade and other grades are missing days of school because they got sick from the food the previous day. It is also a problem because some students do not eat in school and affects their focus in class and when they do in class assignments. The food need to change in order to make the teaching for the teachers easier and for the students to get higher grades.
I think we should hire a new staff or get our food checked by a food professional to decide wether it is legal for them to cook for us since the food might be slightly poisonous. This will most likely increase most of the students grades and make a lot of teachers happier when their job becomes easier and more active.



Letter to a friend
Hello mate
My summer was amazing, I met a ton of new people and it was a lot of fun. Even though it's not what I've been looking forward to but school started next week. It is even worse than last year because now the food is so crap I can't even eat in school. First time I ate it I was sick for a whole week and missed tons of work in school. I wrote a mail to the school department and I suggested change either in staff or in the system and I really hope it would go through. I hate this school sometimes and I hope they can do this for once.

Fanta and Coke paragraph


On a hot summer day, you want to be sure of the refreshment you are drinking.
Coca-cola is the world’s number one soft drink for a reason.
Coca-cola is my and most other people’s default drink.
Coke is perfect with pretty much any meal. Coke can be bought all around the world in every market.
It works to pretty much everything because it has a perfect amount of sugar which does not make it too sweet and does not make the food taste different because of the sugar. It has the perfect amount of ingredients which makes it work with almost everything. It is sold everywhere because it has become so popular that if a market does not have coca cola it is not a very good market. It would be a loss not to have coca cola because of the probable profit it would bring in to the market. Coke is the best drink for an everyday situation and can be used to most of the meal you eat everyday. It can also be bought almost everywhere which makes it not only good to almost every meal but also avalible to almost every meal.


Why would you settle for Coke when you can have a more amazing soft drink?
Fanta is more than just one of the most popular drinks in the world.
Fanta is way better than Coke.
The orange flavour makes it more refreshing. And you cannot find any website that says Fanta kills.
The orange flavor in fanta is a very popular natural flavor. Fanta is refreshing because of its naturalness and it keeps you fresh and active during the day. Unlike coca cola the Fanta does not have haters creating websites to stop fanta production. It is a safe product for you to use and fanta you do not have to be afraid to be seen with it in public. Naturally refreshing and keeps you active throughout the day. Fanta is a safe drink which you are safe to drink everwhere.

Chocolate war essay


I read the book Chocolate war by Robert Cormier. Chocolate war is about students from a catholic boy school. The school is ruled by "The Vigils" which is a group of older students who hand out assignments or pranks to do in the school for the younger students. One of the main characters Jerry Renault is a freshman and is given the assignment to strike against the traditional chocolate sale. Jerry is supposed to refuse to sell chocolates for 10days and then start selling them. Jerry instinctively continues to refuse the sell even though he wants to sell. Jerry's choice leads to serious consequences inside and outside school. He defied "The Vigils" and was there for punished.

The chocolate war is a great book which relates to what could happen in real life. In schools all over the world there are problems with older students trying to control the school or rule over the younger students. It is a common issue which I think is interesting. It is a horrible book but still it makes you think about other people and their problems and their life’s. It is not only you out there; there are other people who have bigger problems than your bike getting stolen. It gives us a broader perspective of not only those among us but also outside our range of knowledge to see how other people live like.

The book is also good because it is written in a language at a quite low level which broadens the audience. It is not easy to understand the concept if you read the book but the concept of the book is easy to understand. This story can be simplified and explained easily so it is a perfect book for those who might not be new to English but not have it as a first language. That is why this is a good book because it was easy and simple which made it a perfect book for us second language speakers.

The book was bad in the matter that it was maybe a bit too horrible which can scare some people off. It can affect people or give people ideas of what they can do and how they can do it. It could create problems for other people in schools where they before did not have that kind of problem. A lot of people could misinterpret the book and may be thinking that the book is correct that you should do this and that.

The book overall is a fantastic book but something must always have a downside. It is good in the manners of how it is written and presented and a simple story made complicated. Everything can be misinterpreted but this topic especially can give other bullies or those who believe they could be bullies. Because they feel they are like Archie or any other character from the book would give a bad side of the book because they could repeat what they did or try to do something similar.
