Actions speak louder than pretend identities

The doors that know no one wants to go to is given the identity of a man with nothing in his eyes. That man behind the door creeps people out. However, the mans name behind the door is Angel. Angle is seeing as a man to the world that is his identity. However, he sees himself as a monster. Angles action’s don’t reflect a monster but more human emotions and feelings. The scene that shows a big part of Angel not being a monster is when, the people of the hotel join to find answers of how the man in the room died. Judie has had her picture flashed about by a law in forcer. The people loudly take Judie while she pleads and screams. They are ready to take justice into there own hand’s. Angel walks in the hotel and Judie points a finger calling him a monster telling everyone he has blood in his room it is just Angel standing there alone and exposed. The attention of the crowed immediately turns their attention on to the new piece of meat. The room full of people should be loud but during this part, it is quiet like it is just a dream to Angel. That this couldn’t be happening. The shock the light in Angels eyes as he looks at Judie is just pain. The camera is focused on both Judie and Angel going back and forth whiles the people but the rope around Angel. During all this Angel could have exposed Judie ‘s two ideates of being half white and half black, stealing money from the bank and also the actors identity of being gay. He could have just as easily put the blame on someone else. Angle took the blame something that no monster would or human would do. Angels actions of being human continued through the show. When he went back to the hotel and got ride of the demand for the last time. He found Judie old, alone and afraid of what could happen. Angel helped her to her bed. Judie asked for forgiveness while on her death bed Angel accepted her ask forgiveness. These actions show human traits and not monsters traits. Angel had human behaviors and some monster ones to but his human behaviors out weighted the monster ones, drinking blood, helping Judie get away from her “boyfriend”. Going and asking how to vanquish the demon, telling Judie the cops won’t come, listening to Judies problems and past even though he didn’t want to from the look on his face. Angel doesn’t pretend to human nearly as much as Judie pretends to be white. Angel does it with hardly any problem he hides what he drinks and keeps to himself. Angel only allows he to drink in privet spots, unlike the gay actor who shows his affections in the hallway of the hotel. We are seen only as we tell or show people what we are like with Angel he is seen as a friend to Judie but to the bellhop he is seen as a creepy guy that has nothing in his eyes that gives him the habeas. Angel has seen himself as a monster for several years because that is what people have identified him as but I see him as a human because he is trying to fit in the world and has the same emotions as we humans have. When the demand came and showed himself after Angel had been hung we know that Angel had cared for the people in the hotel. The demand had said he was full and the biggest reason was that Angel and Judie were friends and the be trail was what made him so full. Angel showed even more human emotion when he aloud the demand to finish off the rest of the people in the hotel. Even though I wouldn’t like to admit it I most likely would have had the same bitterness and aloud the demand to feed off of there fears and paranoia. Angel has human emotions because years later he goes back to the hotel to fix his mistake. He gets ride of the demand and fixes things with Judie who was at the hotel being fed off by the demand the whole time that it took Angel to fix what he didn’t finish. That is what I see makes Angel human is the mistakes, pain, friendship and his secret identity that shows he is human in some way even though he is a vampire with a soul.

Tootsie Rolls and more Tootsie rolls



The Smell of fresh mowed grass. A field painted with a white circle in the middle. Two friends watching one of the players. Butterflies flutering in my stomach as I watch him more intently and realize he is smiling at me or in my direction.

The two of us talk about where to sit. I pled with Kenzie not to have us walk in back of the goal post’s for fear of getting hit by a ball. Since I have the worst luck, only I can manage to have someone say it’s like one out of a hundred, I can have it happen three times to me . I only was hit once while running past the on coming balls of fire. We sit down on the grass pull out our treat’s of sweet’s to keep us happy. I tap Kenzie on the arm “ I don’t only have candy but I have I eye candy too.

We talk about the guy I came to watch play. We joke about how if he ever asked me out what I would do. We thought a movie would be about right, popcorn, soda, holding hands the whole enchilada. We joked about if he went to kiss me I would just stuff my mouth with popcorn. We made up tons of scenarios about what I would do, what jokes I would say to help things not be so awkward.


Kenzie starts saying very loud, you just like him too much, Jenny you do you like him way too much. While she is saying this way to loud for where we are sitting, he starts walking towards us. I franticly try to get her to stop saying that I like him. She didn’t stop or seem to hear. Kenzie finally sees him coming, gets up and not walks or jog but sprints away leaving me alone with him, who must have heard that I like him way to much.

I grabbed the tootsie roll bag and put as many tootsie rolls in my mouth . He says, hi. All I could do was smile and hope he’d walk away. I can feel saliva slip down my chin. He asked what I thought of the game. I just gave a two thumbs up. Thinking wow, did I just really do that. I most certainly did. He smiled turned away to go be with more normal people. I got up looking for Kenzie. I am going to kill you was my thought, and intention for blowing my cover.


We started to leave when I ran into my health teacher. I didn’t think she would have noticed me out of the classroom. Jennifer who are you here for? Surprised that my teacher had known I had come for a boy I pointed out the goalie number nine. Oh, him I know him many girls came for him. We said good bye to Mrs. Norris.


Kenzie and I got in the car, we burst out with laughter. As we drive, I tell her what happened when she left me alone with him. Jen, so you really did end up stuffing your face with food. Oh, Jen only you could have that experience.

Distance Means Disaster

Since the beginning when my brother left on a mission, we as a whole family started the count down to go pick him up. Our destination after two years and seven days was St. Lucia. Excitement, energy, joy and happiness filled the entire house. Even the house glowed with all the eagerness to see the missed family member. We went to bed. I never fell asleep. I was either to hot, to cold or to excited. I was woken up before the sun, thought it was morning. As I got ready, I felt a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Oh no watch out. Only I could manage to get sick the day of our trip.

We where given a ride to the airport by my sister Jessica, who was not allowed to go because she is in Pharmacy School. I had to ride in the back of the car with a pan in case I needed it again. We said our good byes and walked into the airport hurrying to get through security. This process is very inconvenient. The line is as wide as the Pacific Ocean. Shoes and belts need to be removed, pockets emptied and this must all be done fast and faster. I put my heavy bag through the x-ray machine. My bag, my bag had to be checked because it looked like there was a glass bottle in my bag. I opened my bag as any person who spent an hour in a half organizing it to fit just right because I had the smallest bag. The guy asked if any sharp objects would cut him. Hello, no those kind of things are not allowed in the airport. I said no. He went threw everything in my bag. My clothes that I rolled to make more room for my shoes he scattered on the table. It turned out that it was my flip-flops that he thought was a glass bottle of perfume. Which by the way was in a different part of my suit case not where all my clothes that were at one point nicely rolled up and packed. He gave me my bag back still with clothes scattered everywhere. I sat on it to zip it up.

We sat at the gate for only half a century and got on the plane and I was hot again. For the first time in my life, I had to use the airplane barf bags twice. We arrived at Texas and we sprinted dogging people just as you do when you where in high school to the next gate. We got on the airplane and it started to back away from the jet way. We felt a jolt and realized the airplane door which had been re-opened by the ticket agent was ripped off the hinges and bent the door.

We got off the airplane looking for another flight to Puerto Rico, all flight ‘s were booked. We got a flight to Florida and was set up in a hotel. We fell asleep once we stepped in the room. We woke up a 6:00 a.m. and headed for the airport. At this time, I felt like I could walk the airport with my eyes closed and give people directions to where they need to go. We got a flight straight to St. Lucia. We where on the plane backing away, looked at each other and smiled, where on our way. Take off went just right.

Recognize fallacies (jenny procter)

Begging the question - Only good liars become lawyers no truthful person would become a lawyer. This is fallacies because it is being claimed as truth.


Either -or - Either we all eat ice cream to be happy or we won't ever be truly happy. This is a fallacies because as shocking as it is some people have never had ice cream and are happy and also that there is more than just those two ways to be happy.

False analogies- Racism stopped after the Civil war. We should all be excepting as those were in those days. This is a fallacies because it doesn't tell all the reasons and explain the circumstances.

Non sequitur - Someone who can run a marathon shouldn't have to purchase health insurance. This is fallacies because one has nothing to do with the other.



Oversimplification- One on would ask a stupid question if we could hit them when they asked it. This is fallacies because no one would go for getting hit every time they asked a stupid question , because it might not be stupid to ask to them .

Post hoc fallacy -The ice melts when it is left out in the sun. That is fallacies because we know that ice will melt when it is left out in the sun.

Rationalization - I could have cleaned my room if I wasn't so tired from soccer practice. That is fallacy because it is a excuses and not a actual reason.

Slippery slope - We shouldn't make laws that we know people are going to break because then we are then just setting them up to break the law. This is a fallacies because it is impossible for laws not to get broken.

Bandwagon appeals - It won't matter if I look at her test she looked at my test and so did he guy next to me. This is fallacies because its still not the right thing.

Name calling - You are racist . This is fallacies because its meaning less unless its defined.

Polarization - All men love sports. This is fallacies Because it is representing a extreme position.

Straw man - Everyone should ride a bike because cars are bad and cause polution. This is fallacies becasue it distracts from the real issue and is easily argued.
