1^st Period

December 31,2008, New Years Eve for most, but for the Lopez family it was major party time in Houston.

The family came from all over Texas went down to celebrate together. As everyone showed up out came the liquor. The salsa started flaring and dancing til midnight began. We had people from Kyle, Tx. We had people from Austin Tx. We had people from Port Lavaca,TX.

They weren’t nobody under the age of 15 there. Most were drinking age but 2 teens there who were responsible and did not drink. Others that couldn’t not make it still called at midnight to wish us a happy new year. Everyone all slept in the house so nobody left driving dunk.

“It was so much fun and everyone was so wasted.” Ashley Lopez says. “ My cousin Lina was so much fun when she had just a few drinks, we danced all night."

The Name of The Technique

Simplicity- the blue background is simple so your eyes forced to focus on the two building on fire.

The Rule of Thirds-

In this photo the helicopter is
in the top left corner so it looks
like the helicopter is gonna fly across the picture instead of off
the photo.

Lines-
the people in the line, as you follow them you being to see the destruction.

Balance-

the photo shows the city kind of a
calm time so the city is in balance.

Framing-
in this photo the mother and daughter are morning together
in the center of the photo.

Avoiding Mergers-

in this photo the solider is holding his gun
with his fellow soliders behind him so there is nothing werid like coming out of his head.

Final

Twilight

The movie Twilight is a big hit in the theaters, the first weekend it came out it hit first place with $7.6 million across the world. The award-winning book had a huge fan base excited to see the movie. The movie cost about $37 million. The movie is about an outsider named Bella played by Kristen Stewart moves from Arizona to Forks to live with her dad. She meets a guy named Edward played by Robert Pattinson who turns out to be a vampire. They start a romantic relationship, which is very dangerous for them. Therefore it leads them to wild and crazy adventure for their lives.

I personally loved the book and was a little disappointed in the movie. Most of the fans were a little disappointed in the movie. Alana, one of the fans, said “I was disappointed in it because they did cut a lot of parts out from the book.” Other people who hadn’t read the book and went to go see the movie said it was pretty good from what they were expecting. As one of the fans, I thought it was all right but it could have been better than want it really was. I had higher expectations for the movie when I saw the previews. They also changed a lot of parts from the book like the Piano that that Edward plays it is black but in the book it is suppose to be white. I thought they got good actors to play the rolls I just wish that they would of keep more to the book. I think that they left some important parts out that they should have kept. I give the movie semi-thumbs up, but it didn’t reach my high expectations. She kept most of the parts true to the book.

They are talking about making the sequel to” Twilight” which is called “New Moon” rumored to start filming in March 2009. They have currently changed a director who has not been named yet. Robert Pattinson says he is up for the sequel, "My part in the second one is completely different," Pattinson says. "He's, like, distraught, and sort of goes mad. I much prefer the second one to the first, and I'm hardly in it. I just get this really cool, ominous presence in the book where Kristen keeps saying how much she's longing for the return of Edward and then I have this pretty dramatic entrance at the end where I'm going to kill myself. It's cool." Well Twilight was a hit in the movies but the fans were a little disappointed but with “New Moon” coming maybe they will change their mind.

b. Help! - Curt Arnette looks for a player to break Taylor's press. The last game of the season was against taylor on Friday, Feb. 13 at the Alamo Dome. "We played hard," Curt said "we hussled the ball up and down the court. We played probably harder than we've ever played before. And that's what it takes to be district champs. It was tough making it to regionals play-offs and then getting beat. But at least Taylor High School went on to win. They were good. In some ways, I was relieved the season was over. I was tired of having to work out two hours a day." Photo by Joey Lin.

c. Bloody Business - Student Council President Jill Cavness gives blood. She gave blood on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 6:30am in the small gym. "It hurt a bit when the needle went in. And i didn't particularly like watching my blood flow though the tube, but it was for a good cause," Cavness said.
