1) "I never learned hate at home, or shame.” Sentence pattern 4 is the closest to it, but it is incorrectly punctuated because "shame" isn't an independent clause. The sentence focuses on hate and shame. The comma + shame shows more emphasis on shame. It foreshadows the shadow of the story and that it will focus on shame.
2)“She’d walk down my street, and my brothers and sisters would yell, ‘Here comes Helene,” and I’d rub my tennis sneakers on the back of my pants and wish my hair wasn’t so nappy and the white folks’ shirt fit me better.” This is sentence pattern 9 because of the quotes. This sentence gives us the picture that Richard is the wealthiest kid and that he doesn't get the nicest stuff. It also gives us a better understanding about how Richard wishes he had things that he no matter what can't get because of his circumstances.
3)“And she had a daddy, and he had a good job." This is sentence pattern 4 because before and after the comma are independent clause. The writer uses this sentence because it shows that Helene has what Richards wants. It is written in that settle, but almost depressing mood showing how he feels.
4)“The idiot’s seat, the troublemaker’s seat.” Sentence pattern 5 is the closest but neither part of the sentences is really independent. This sentence is used to describe how Richard believes that society looks at him.

Today I read an article called "BCS lawsuit suspended", by ESPN.com. The article was talking about how a Utah attorney has a potential lawsuit against the BCS for an illegal monopoly. The suit has been plotted for the past three years by Mark Shurtleff, but has never been filed. The lawsuit is about how the BCS is damaging some schools making them lose millions of dollars such as Utah and Boise State. Shurtleff is leaving the office at the end of the year and says there isn't enough evidence to file it yet. He said I'll pass the case onto the next attorney and one day it will be filed and the BCS will be charged.
Today I read an article called "Youth coaches face gambling charges" , By ESPN. The article was talking about how in southern florida youth coaches are gambling on their games. Now yes the games in reality aren't that big or important, but with coaches putting 20,000 dollars on game, it becomes a little more important. Nine coaches are being faced with charges and with five of them with criminal records they could be facing five years in jail. They have been under investigation for the past 12 months with recent evidence that backs up there statements.
OSU vs. UTAH
This past weekend I took a trip down to Corvallis at Reser stadium. I was going down to watch OSU play at home verse the Utah Utes. Now personally I like Utah better just because I know their coach and know the program. On the other hand my best friend loves OSU he's the definition of bleeding orange and that is who I went with. When we were at the campus it was crazy packed!!! I've been to games before but not to recently and with OSU winning all these games it was way different. The game itself isn't really what I wanted to talk about but more so the fact of all the bandwagoning. It use to be were about 75% of the seats were filled up, not bad also not good. At this game I swear there was't a single seat available! Jammed packed, Not only the stadium also the streets and campus itself. It just so unique how so many people can just jump from team to team. There are those people who just follow the good teams, and let me say it the teams love it! Packed stands at every game without a single seat available, what team wouldn't love that? Yes there is also always 'that guy' who will go to the game wearing an Oregon sweatshirt just there to antagonize there rivals. There is also the guy who will be decked out in the opposing teams gear in a packed section of OSU fans. On the car ride home I was thinking about all of this and how strange fans really are. If you ever get really bored and want to people watch I highly suggest going to watch fans at a sporting event.
Journal entry shame and DOI
The stories are not similar in the way they are written, but the meaning of it is the same. In the story the daughter of Invention, the daughter feels out of place and not accepted because she is foreign and new. In the story Shame the boy also wants to be accepted, not only is he black, but he also is missing a daddy. The stories both go on and end in different ways were one story they learn to accept themselves and the other they don't.
Today I read an article called "Brien Taylor facing up to 40 years", by ESPN.com. The article was talking about how Taylor a first round draft pick in the MLB is facing up to 40 years. He got this charge due to three offenses of crack cocaine distribution. I think it's crazy how someone that so many people use to look up to can just throw away their life like that.
Snickers vs Three musketeers
A discussion between the two candy bars snickers and three musketeers is necessary to see which one is truly the greatest. This issue remains a mystery and only now we discuss this unknown mystery. Snickers and three musketeers share the same outside layer which is chocolate making them in some way the same.
The key idea between the snickers and the three musketeers is what they are made of. In the snickers bar we see that it is made up with crunchy peanuts that add that extra kick to it. The peanuts are significant because they add that extra flavor and texture that the three musketeers does not. In addition to the peanuts snickers also has a creamy caramel that'll give you that longer lasting taste in your mouth. The caramel is significant because like the peanuts, it adds an extra texture and taste that gives you that sticky goo.
On the other hand three musketeers makes a stand and differs itself from any other type of candy bar. The three musketeers is simple with really only two ingredients giving it that taste that can be distinguished easily. To begin with there is a simple chocolate covering which makes an impact because who doesn't love chocolate? The chocolate gives it that little crunch that gives you the traditional texture of any candy bar. What makes them different is that the inside is purely made of nougat filling and thats it, as simple as that. This gives them an advantage because maybe people don't like all the flavors and textures that another candy bar has to offer.
Clearly we have discussed the difference between the two candy bars, snickers and three musketeers. The unique flavors which make up the insides of the two are clearly different with minor similarities. Ultimately the snickers bar is the all time winner with a combination of all great things, but still being fairly simple.

hypnosis
Recently I watched a Tv show on hypnosis and about how far that it could go. They took four people and took them through at first just some simple hypnosis things like act like a monkey. Once they saw that they could all by hypnotised, they began the process of four stages. Stage one and two were still pretty simple with all four contenders easily getting through it, troubles came at stage three. It was to lay in water at 34 degrees for three minutes. The first two lasted a soaring 15 seconds, and the third doubling them lasting 30 seconds. It wasn't until all their hope was given up when the last contender lasted the bearing cold for all two minutes. He was the only one to move on to the final stage, assassination. Could someone be under hypnosis so much that they could be triggered to kill someone? The answer is yes, he 'assassinated' a man under hypnosis. Obviously this was an experiment and no one was actually killed or injured.
This is rather scary to me, I would be terrified if I was the one that 'killed' someone. The way they presented this was rather well, with showing scenes of whats happening with the experiment and then an experts view. They had camera angles from every angle and were hidden adding to the suspense. I would be interested in watching more shows like this were they see just how far they could push the ability of a human brain. Also it would good for them to maybe show a video of what goes on in the brain while under hypnosis.
