#3 (Music artists buying wild animals)
New York - This just in, rappers and singers have all started buying wild animals, instead of just normal cats or dogs.
"Chickens are just the same as any other pet, i walk them, i feed them, then i eat them, boss!" said rapper Rick Ross.
Also rapper Jay-Z has bought a few wild animals of his own. Which would be 1 lion, 4 snapping turltles, and 1 monkey.
Slavery
#4 (Bullies)
#5 (Historical event)
Slavery began on a wild trip to Australia in January 7th 1975. It started with animals being whip to create labor. This lasted for a good 5 months until it began to get boring. In order to speed up this process, they had to make this machine that would help them daily. They called it “the computer”. The computer was the best slave ever to their masters. It had something called the internet that brought up anything you can think of. They brought helpful information, made hard work look easy, and never had to be paid or fed. Slavery was practiced throughout the Australian colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries, and animal slaves helped build the economic foundations of the new nation. The invention of the cotton gin in 1973 solidified the central importance of slavery to the economy. By the mid-20th century, Australia’s eastward expansion, along with a growing abolition movement in the North, would provoke a great debate over slavery that would tear the nation apart in the bloody Australian Civil War (1961-65). This is the story of slavery.

Diggy Simmons Featuring Bei Maejor- Great Expectations
Yeah, I'm ready, yeah
[Hook: Bei Maejor]
They want me to fall
They wanna see if I make it
With my back against the wall
Put my head to the sky
No, I won't let 'em break me
I got great expectations
Great expectations
(I'm ready)
[Verse 1: Diggy Simmons]
All the stares and all the glares
They waiting on him
And all the weight from all the hate
It's gaining on him
The intensity as it rises
Nobody can disguise it
It's like he got fire in his eyelids
The crowd is roaring, it's so enormous
His blood is boiling
His head is down and he's focused
He wishes they'd ignore him
Who in they right mind
Wants to let his light shine
He ain't even in his prime
Pressure of a lifetime
He standing steady, hands sweaty
May be nervous, but ready
The skepticism lies heavy
He's bout to make it petty
He got his fam on his back
Bout to carry like Chevy
So much on his plate
He hopes the repercussions ain't deadly
But he ain't gonna back down, for what?
He faces right now and he
Knows that he will out stand every
Doubter that's around
Misconceptions are knocked out
There will no longer be doubt
He hears them boo but he won't stop
Till his name is what they shout
[Hook: Bei Maejor]
[Verse 2: Diggy Simmons]
He's no longer fearing
Now swerving past 'em and persevering
The way he's staring is clearing
All that could be competition
Immediate intuition is winning
He's never slipping
Been hearing them saying that
He could be the best that ever did it
Their expectations lie high
So he's just praying, "Can I
Be the best man I could ever be?
To exceed everything they want me to be
No anxiety, just gonna do me
And always proceed for the ones that believe
In the young man that's dedicated with a potential to achieve"
So I'mma keep going, keep flowing, keep knowing
I'm the dopest, my rhymes are potent
But I'mma need you to know it
I know where I came from but I stay so hungry and focused
Like I was focusing and wasn't nearly in one of the closest
Great expectations, I got 'em waiting, anticipating
They all debating on if he's hype or will he be staying
So now I'm saying, I'm reaching to be one of the greatest
So if you hate it take it cause I won't stop even when I make it
[Hook: Bei Maejor]
[Bridge: Bei Maejor]
Staring into heaven with my headphones on
You can see it in my eyes and know
That I'm the one they have been waiting for
I know my dreams are waiting for me
And looking down ain't the way to go, noooo
Follow your dreams
Follow your dreams
We got great expectations
[Outro: Diggy Simmons]
Not til' they screaming my name, yeah [x2]
I ain't gonna give up the game, yeah [x3]
Not til' they screaming my name, yeah [x2]
I ain't gonna give up the game [x3]
#7 (What did i learn?)
In media literacy i learned many useful skills such as how to create flyers, and writing precis. I gained extremely useful information about how the media works and its role in modern day society. In this class I learned how to fully understand books and movies based on what message they were trying to spread. The only thing that comes to mind when it comes to making this class better would be to add more group projects. I dislike the fact that we have to keep reading all the time. When i think of language arts class i think of poetry more than i think of books because of all thinking when it comes to using words in a fancy way.
