If I were a Crayon
My name is Bubblegum and I was born in 1994. I am pink and I am just one crayon in a family of 16 magic scent crayons. As you may have guessed, I smell like delicious bubble gum. I was a favorite among girls and I have been used to color many beautiful flowers. Unfortunately my delicious smell led to my untimely death in 1995 because children liked to eat me. As you can tell from the opening, Bubblegum is no longer available for comment. If I were a crayon I would choose to be Bubblegum because of the great smell and fun that I had as a child when I colored with the magic scent crayons. Bubblegum was always the first crayon that I had to sharpen because I would use it so much. Of course no picture is complete with just one color but I would always find ways to make odd things pink when they should have or could have been another color. For instance, I would always make sure that a cat had a pink nose or a girls shoe laces were pink. I loved to smell the bubble gum scent as I was coloring pictures but I was never hungry enough to have a taste. The other crayons in the box, such as; blueberry, banana, grape, shampoo, sasquatch socks and alien armpits were fun but not as appealing to use. Not to mention, a few of them weren't as pleasant to smell. Due to my obsession with pink bubblegum magic scent crayons I had roughly 8 boxes of crayons which were nearly brand new other than a missing pink bubblegum. I would love to buy a box of these for my children, but as Bubblegum mentioned at the beginning of the paper they are no longer on the market. In closing I want to leave you with a little bit of a surprise. If you look on the next page of this paper, there is a spot of pink bubblegum scented crayon. If you give it a rub with your thumb to apply heat then hold it to your nose you will be able to smell the lovely scent of bubblegum. Please do not eat this paper, as it may be hazardous to your health. If I were a crayon, I would be pink bubblegum.

    Price 's use of imagery in her essay and the interpretation that follows shows that she believes the plastic flamingo is obviously not even fit to represent the true flamingo. Price lists the colors, "tangerine, broiling magenta, livid pink, incarnadine, fuchsia demure, Congo ruby, methyl green," in order to establish images that overwhelm the reader 's mind with bold colors. The extremely bold colors of the plastic flamingo such as "livid pink" and "broiling magenta" formulate the conclusion that the plastic flamingo could never be synonymous with the quiet, demure brilliancy of a real flamingo. Thus, once the reader has interpreted the color imagery and concluded that all of the colors are just "too much", the reader can make the connection that society is also "too much" obsessed with putting on pretenses of wealth as opposed to focusing on issues that really matter such as the preservation of the real flamingo. Price also makes use of repetition in order to express the magnitude of the plastic flamingo 's color in society. Jennifer Price states, "Washing machines, cars, and kitchen counters proliferated in passion pink, sunset pink, and Bermuda pink." By stating that the pink fad present in the plastic flamingo was also transferred into household appliances such as washing machines and kitchen counters, Price implies that the materialism and vulgarity of appearing wealthy spread into the home; the infiltration of materialism into the home meant that the desire for wealth and extravagance had also infiltrated the aspects of American life. Price 's criticism of the flamingo 's color fascination supports the essay 's idea that Americans are only satisfied by boldness and extravagance as evident in the pink coloration of household appliances because…

    Use the following graphic organizer and pictures to help students keep track of which objects float and which objects sink. You may want to create your own larger graphic organizer to include more items. 1. Using the page of pictures, ask students to predict whether each item will sink or float. 2. Ask students to cut out the pictures of the things they are testing. If you are using additional items, provide a similar sheet with pictures of those items or ask students to draw each item on the finished piece. 3. Once students have tested an item, they should glue or tape the picture of that item in the appropriate place above or below the water line. Some objects will float at the top of the water, some will be partially submerged, and some will sink to the bottom. 4. When students have finished, they should have a piece of paper with pictures of things that float at the top of the water line, things that are partially submerged, and things that sink to the bottom. The graphic organizer should reflect where each item falls along the water line. 5. Ask students to think about why some things float and other things sink. • What do the items that float have in common? • What do the items that sink have in common? • What did they learn about things that sink and things that float?…

    If I was a plant, I think I would be a rose because its appearance fools others. I am always bright, cheerful, optimistic, everything that says "I'm fine!" ... However, in reality, I am insecure, depressing, pessimistic, and almost always crying in my mind. Just saying that if I was a color, I think I would be purple. It's red (anger) and blue (depression) mixed up, which can end up as weird. I am an odd person and I am not afraid to admit that. Whenever I could choose any number I want, I would want to choose number seventy-three because it's a random number. Also, it's a number you do not see or say very much. I am a really random person, so I thought the number could display me. Being the crazy and psycho person I am, I think lightning would be the best to say that is most…

    Harold and the Purple Crayon, to this day, is figurative example of how I look at obstacles in life. I truly live by the fact that nothing is impossible. Harold does too. We all have our own purple crayon, but in Harold’s case, it is literally a crayon. He drew what he wanted, lived how he wanted and did all these things whenever he wanted. On a surface level observation, the goal that this book is trying to accomplish is to express that children should be able to do what they want. They should be able to be themselves without severe limitations. To others, including myself, it has a deeper meaning that anyone can achieve what they want. A very simple way to portray this deeper meaning is with the quote, ‘if you set your mind to it you can achieve it.’ This statement only holds to be true in certain situations though, because you have to be ready to think the unthinkable to accomplish what isn’t ‘possible.’ You have to drive off people saying you can’t. In my life, people have done nothing but say I can’t. They tell me that I need to find more realistic goals to try and obtain. I found that I can do anything I desire to accomplish is possible, even when the whole world tells me it’s impossible. For other people, I have learned that you have to truly desire to accomplish what you want to accomplish, or you won’t get anywhere close, and it will forever stay in your mind as impossible. Although it was extremely easy for Harold to pick up a crayon and simply get what he wants, this translates into how any one of us can achieve what we want. It may not be easy, but Harold demonstrated that it can be done. That the ‘unthinkable’ can be obtained. That the ‘impossible’ is possible. All you have to do is believe; that’s what Harold did.…

    Have you ever imagined of a room that sent such a good vibe that you thought it was too good to be true? Well, that is how this lunchroom was. When I walked in the first thing I say was the bright lit faces of the john Adams middle school students.Their faces were so astonishing that it but a big smile on my face. The poster filled walls were a bright baby blue with a hint of green. The tables were stunning. The colors were so remarkable that they were almost blinding. The pillars that stood high were covered with flyers of all colors. But the best thing of all was the smell coming from the cafeteria. It smelled like fresh pizza out of the oven. But what they were serving was much better than pizza, it was cheesy bread sticks. As my waiter…
