School: Let's Take Longer Breaks!

The administrators of Princess Margaret Secondary School, along with the superintendent of School District 67 have recently made the decision to make breaks in between classes and lunch, even longer! After much discussion and convincing, superintendent Ms. Wendy Hyer, gave this new plan a green light. Students here at Maggie are being the told that the decision was made because Mr. Macintyre and Mr. Grady felt that students needed more time to mill about and socialize. They also said that students need a lot more time to eat lunch. This includes walking or driving to a nearby fast-food restaurant or other assorted eateries, then going back to the school and again having time to socialize and finish eating. But don't worry if the bell rings because the lengthened breaks mean you'll have plenty of extra time to relax in the common area and still be late for class. All the students at Maggie fully support this plan and the consensus of the student body believe more even more down time at school will be a good change. 

"Drops of Jupiter" by the group Train is a excellent example of a poetic song. The lyrics laden with poetic devices. First off the entire song is an Ode because he is singing the song in tribute to his mother who is dead. Other examples include: Four Similes at the start of the song, "She acts like summer and walks like rain/ She listens like spring and she talks like June." These similes are more of the metaphysical nature. In the chorus Personification is used slightly: "Did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar." Through out the entire song there is strong use of both Repetition and Alliteration.

Drops of Jupiter- Train

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

But tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey, hey
mmmm.....
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey, hey, hey
yea...

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah

And did you fall for a shooting star
Fall for a shooting star

nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah

Are you lonely looking for yourself out there

In the silence as we sat across from each other, I began to study him. His face was perched between his wrinkled hands; one a fist and the other holding a cigarette, its sharp smell distracting my nose. The placement of his hands made his cheeks into small little orbs, sitting on either side of his mouth. His graying moustache sat on top of his lip, like a blanket, warm and comforting He had on the smallest of smirks; causing a crease to form just above his chin amongst the sparse whiskers of gray, that covered his face. Wrinkles and crows feet lay all over the canvas of his face, making it look like a weathered piece of paper, that had survived the elements and the ages. His eyes, they were the most unforgettable. At first glance they are ordinary and dull. But when you take a look at them closely; sunken into his face, surrounded by wrinkles and shaded by two, non-existent eyebrows, his eyes are the sky and the ocean coming together, paired with all the wisdom of the world

In my opinion this application is very pointless because I am much more interesting in person. I am the man that once gave a three hour speech to a gym of five year olds; without being interrupted. I am the man who's voice cured a room full of deaf people. I am the man who fought Chuck Norris and won. I am the man.

My name is Ryan Biro and if you didn't all ready know, I am the man. My life is full of excitement and danger, but on Thursdays I knit sweaters. In my spare time I like to build car engines while playing the violin. Magiver was my favourite student. When I go swimming, dolphins appear. I've tamed a lion, by telling it a story. I taught a horse to read my email. Birds sing for me. Animals appear everywhere I go and will follow my every command.

If this isnt enough for your silly application I have accomlished many other things. I can speak French in Russian and I am a local anywhere in the world. I my hobbies include sky diving, with my umbrella and discovering ancient artifacts. I found Waldo.

My Superpower

Picking a superpower is extremely hard to do. So many superpowers have been invented and reused that being unique is difficult and it seems that any superpower I would pick has been drafted into some sort of superhero tale. So in my quest to choose the perfect super power for me, I tried to find the most interesting and seldom used power that fits me.
If I could have any superpower I would be able to alter and reconfigure genetic and molecular matter. This would mean I could modify someone else's or even my own DNA coding or molecular makeup. I could make my self physically stalwart or heal injuries faster. This would also be a tremendous power because I could find cures for diseases like cancer and aids by reconstructing the immune system to battle them. My power would be a great deal superior to other powers because it has so many countless uses. Other powers like tele-porting or mind control only have one or two concrete uses. If I wanted to go places swiftly for free I could make my legs stronger and my body lighter so I could scamper across water. If wanted someone to do something for me I could transform the structure of their brain to make them think I governed them.
Having this kind of power would be an immense responsibility and in the wrong hands could be disastrous. But in the right hands, such as mine, this power could save countless lives and make me an epic hero.
