Part 1 A

I think of myself as a somewhat nice person. I compliment many people, even when I

think their outfit is the ugliest thing on earth. Some call me fake, but I don’t really care what they

think. Others opinions don’t really bother me. My mom tells me that it's a good thing I don’t

worry about other people’s opinions but then gets mad when I don’t listen to her opinions about

me. My family’s weird, I don’t even know how to explain it.

At school, I don’t consider myself popular but I basically am. It gets annoying having to

say hi back to everyone who says hi to me first. That’s why I got these airpods, so I can just blare

my rap music and ignore everyone. I just listen to my music and have this mad annoyed face

hoping no one would say something but of course the people walking the opposite direction say

hi. I just don’t know why everyone is obsessed with me, even the people I talked to once.

I have a lot of friends, and their okay I guess. Sometimes they annoy me and I regret

ever being friends with them. This one girl I’m friends with thinks she’s all that, but she wouldn't

even be popular if it wasn’t for me. It annoys me so much I just want to yell at her to go back to

the hole she came from. Like seriously she’s not even fun to hangout with; she’s just so rude,

judgemental and boring. Ugh people just annoy me in general.

Everyone still loves me, even the teachers and administrators. I get away with pretty

much everything. The administrators know my home life, so I think they feel bad and that’s why

their on my side with everything. My one teacher even gives me a late pass, because I was late

getting my coffee and walking to school. It's the best, since I don't have to rush, I just get a pass.

Again I’m pretty close to some of the teachers that I can tell them good or bad stuff that happens
in my life. I sometimes say it loud enough for other people to hear how good I am doing or if

someone is annoying I do that for the attention and satisfaction of people wondering about me.

I hate group projects, so I try to find a way out with either going to the bathroom or just

miss school completely. I make a solid plan, so I don’t have to do it. Usually I miss the day

before the projects due, so then no one can contact me and I don’t have to finish it. Then when

the day comes, I just blame it on my other group. Most of the time it works, but sometimes

people have to be difficult. If they blame not finishing it on me; I play the “I did everything in

this project and everyone’s out to get me” card and then I cry and run out. The teacher knows

that I’m going through alot, so I get an excuse. Sometimes I feel bad about the rest of the people

in my group, but then I realize they’ll get over it.

Actually I am a pretty nice person and I get along with others. I usually talk bad about

them after but they don’t need to know that. I know people are watching me and I give them

something interesting to watch. No but really I know there is nothing wrong with me; that’s

probably why everyone wants to be my friend. I’m always in trend and can tear someone down

in such a simple way. It gives them no chances to go against me because I’m always right.
 Part 1 B

Scene 1- Character A (Lisa) point of view

Today is not my day. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone. I barely got any of my homework

done and I even stayed up late. People just irritate me like leave me alone. I walk into the school

and see that girl the girl in my newspaper class. She is so ugly and annoying. I accidentally

made eye contact with her, and she smiled at me. Gross.

Lisa ​(unenthusiastically)

“Oh hey”

Sam ​(happy)

“Hey!!”

Omg she of course had to walk over to me. She’s standing a little too close. Like personal space.

She keeps trying to keep the conversation going when it's obviously dying. I am so tempted to just

throw my coffee at her, but then that would be a waste of good coffee. Also I can't do that again

since the teacher said next time it happened again I’ll have to actually get in trouble.

Sam ​(curious)

“How have you been?”

Lisa ​(annoyed)

“Good I guess, you?”

Sam ​(excitedly but confused)

“Goooood”

I just stood there. I had no clue what to say and I didn’t even want to continue talking.
 Sam​ (excitedly but confused)

“oh wait don’t you take US History?”

Lisa ​(uninterested)

“Yea. AP US History.”

Of course I’m in AP, like I’m not that stupid. At least she came up with a topic I liked. History

was my thing. Also Politics, and arguing, pretty similar; that’s why I enjoy both. No but I have a

heart for history. I don’t have a heart for talking to some girl that smells like a cat. Does she

even shower?!?

Sam ​(calm)

“Oh cool, cool”

Lisa​ (annoyed)

“Yes.”

Can she just leave me alone? I just want to listen to music. Of course the one day I happened to

get to school early and I get swarmed with a bunch of nonsense questions.

Sam ​(excited)

“Oh wait aren’t you doing volleyball?”

Lisa​ (mad)

“No, I’m not doing that again”

Sam​ (confused)

“Oh are you doing track?”

Lisa ​( really mad)

“No, I quit.”
 See volleyball I actually got kicked off the team, since I missed so many practice. The teacher

didn’t even feel any sympathy I was going through alot. Track, I was an all star, but I just

stopped because I had other things going on. I don’t know how she even knows. Oh, but I was

also really good, so someone ms have said something about them missing me on the team.

Lisa ​(relieved)

“Bye”

Sam

“Oh bye”

Finally the bell rang, ugh I couldn’t stand listening to her talk any more. That’s enough of me

being nice today. That took a lot out of me. Now I can listen to music and walk to class or should

I just skip?

Character B (Sam) Point of view

I was standing in the hall waiting for the bell to ring for class. I was standing alone since I don’t

have a lot of friends. It was really awkward, since I didn’t know what to do. I decided to look up

from my phone and I saw Lisa. I gave her a quick glance and smiled.

Lisa​(unenthusiastically)

“Oh hey”

Sam ​(happy)

“Hey!!”
 I didn’t expect her to say hi; I don’t think she really likes me. She seemed really annoyed but

she’s the one that said hi. She does seem like a really cool person though. Instead of it being

awkward I tried to make the conversation to continue.

Sam ​(curious)

“How have you been?”

Lisa ​(annoyed)

“Good I guess, you?”

Wow this conversation is very awkward. At Least she asked how I was doing, because anytime I

ask someone how they are; they never ask me how I am. I was surprised.

Sam ​(excitedly but confused)

“Goooood”

She just stood there I couldn’t think of anything to say. It was very awkward. It seemed like we

were standing there for hours. I then remembered her saying that she likes social studies.

Actually, she didn't tell me directly; she said it very loud that everyone heard

Sam​ (excitedly but confused)

“Oh wait don’t you take US History?”

Lisa ​(uninterested)

“Yea. AP US History.”

Sam ​(calm)

“Oh cool, cool”

 I knew she was taking that class but that’s all I could think of to keep the conversation going. I

had know clue what to say. She’s definitely not an easy person to talk too. Neither am I; I can

barely keep a conversation with my friend let alone this girl who seems really cool.

Lisa​(annoyed)

“Yes.”

Ok well it seems like she doesn’t want to talk about history. I'll think of something else. I’m so

nervous; I’m sweating.

Sam ​(excited)

“Oh wait aren’t you doing volleyball?”

Lisa​(mad)

“No, I’m not doing that again”

Sam​ (confused)

“Oh are you doing track?”

Lisa​( really mad)

“No, I quit.”

Wow okay definitely didn’t say good topics to keep the conversation going. Why does she have to

be this difficult to talk to. I don;t know why I think she’s cool. She barely talks

Lisa ​(relieved)

“Bye”

Sam

“Oh bye”
That was the worst conversation ever. Yikes, next time I talk to her I will for sure think of better

things to talk about. Luckily the bell rang. She walked off looking really annoyed. I think the she

walked the wrong direction though. I’m not sure, I couldn’t really see if she walked into a class

or if she walked out of the school.

Part 2

Man VS Man

Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life​, is an example of Man VS Man. In the

Movie, Rafe had transferred to 3 other middle schools, and has to transfer again The principal at

the new school has stated many times that the school will not tolerate any of his games. The

school has a high standard of rule following, so it is very strict. Rafe is a troublemaker, so he is

not happy with this new school. Rafe is also dealing with the death of his brother. His coping

method was to have him there making up plans, so his brother was just his imagination. Rafe had

this idea that he is going to break every rule in the rule book. He accomplishes that with his

brother and his new friend.

Although his friends help him break every rule, the battle was mostly between Rafe and

his principle. That is the part that displays Man VS Man, because in the beginning of the movie

right before he walks into the school; he is already considered breaking dress coded. He

immediately doesn't listen to what the principle is telling him. He starts doing pranks and the

principal gets very irritated and starts fighting back. At the end of the movie, the author has Rafe

catching the principal using the school money for gambling. He was able to get the principal

caught before anything happened to him. He was able to break every rule in the conduct book.

Man VS Nature
 Man VS Nature movie would be ​A Quiet Place​, because it is about this family who have

to survive by staying quiet. They can’t make any sound or the death-eating creatures will attack

them. The family lives on their daily life to survive by gathering food and spending time

together. The mother even has to raise a newborn child. They live in a farm area that has been

set with traps or signs to help them know if something is coming. Until the creatures get closer

and closer. The family has to find away to stop them, while also staying alive. The creatures are

blind, so their sense of hearing is extreme to where they pretty much hear everything.

This movie is considered Man VS Nature, because it is about this family fighting against

these killing creatures. They need to fight for their lives and each other's lives. The creatures are

apart of nature, that mysteriously showed up in the world. The author finishes at the end when

the daughter who is actually deaf uses her hearing aid and blasts the sound wave. The sound

wave is loud for the creatures. Some creatures ran away but we're making sounds far away into

the woods like they were all ready to attack together.

Man VS Himself

Self doubt is a very common thing in everyone. This past swim season I found myself

being negative and than I didn’t do well. Even before a race I would tell myself I got this and I

can do this, but once I dove off the block into the water the negative thoughts came back. It

completely would mess me up and then I would be even more upset. I realized that in my head I

said I got this but I realized that I was just saying it. I didn’t mean it deep down, so that’s why

those self doubting thoughts came back. The one meet I was determined, I knew what I had to

change and I did. I ended up dropping time which was great and I came in first, all because I

changed one thing and my mindset.

 This can help a plot move by the character realizing that their mind set is actually an

essential to doing good. It is important to stay positive, while truly believing in yourself. The

character could be stressing over a big meet or could be failing at everything they're doing. Until

they find out that instead of changing their actions they need to change their mind set also. Your

mindset will affect the outcome of how you do. In the end the character will have a happy ending

and will succeed in the meet or competition. They will then go onto helping others set the right

mindset to accomplish great things.
