assignment 17

If I was deserted on an island the 3 things I would bring with me would bring water, a knife, and a fishing pole. I would use the water so I can stay hydrated and stay alive. I would need to drink as much water as possible to stay alive.
I would also bring a knife to protect myself against any animals that may try to attack me. I could use the knife to cut down trees and to make shelter. I could also use the knife to fillet fish.
The last thing I would bring is a fishing pole because it would help me a get food to eat so I could get energy to live. Fishing would be a way to get food and a fun activity while your stranded on this boring island. It would also be a good way to have a good meal once and a while.

number 15 Future job

In my future I would like to become a professional skateboarder. Skateboarding has been the only thing I liked to do since I was a little kid. I have always wanted to make a career with skateboarding, because thats all I do and I would love to be able to do that and also make money while doing it. Becoming a professional skateboarder would take a lot of work and commitment but I am willing to do anything to make it happen.
I started skateboarding when I was only 12 years old and haven't stopped yet and have been skateboarding everyday since cause I can stop its addicting. All I want for my job to be involved with the skateboard community even if i don't make it to become a professional skateboarder I want to have something to do with it.
If I make it in the skateboard industry I want to be able to travel all over the world to skate that is my dream. In the skateboard industry I wouldn't say you make a lot of money but you make enough money to get by which is all i need especially if I am doing something I love thats all that really matters to me because I couldn't see myself working for a company that I have no interest in. Professional skateboarders get to travel all over the world to skate with their friends and team riders while also getting paid.
becoming a professional skateboarder has been something I have been working very hard at since i was 12 years old and I feel like if I keep pursuing it I can and will make it. I have worked to hard to not achieve this goal, but even if I don't make it ill end up somewhere in the skateboard industry.

number 16 expertise

Skateboarding is what I love and know. In skateboarding there are so many different variations and tricks you can do. Skateboarding takes a lot of work and practice to perfect your tricks. You can skate pretty much anywhere where there is concrete.
When you first start skateboarding it takes a long time to actually learn most of theses tricks some easy and some are more difficult. Skateboarding is all about muscle and movement memory, because you have to use the same exact motion of your legs every time you do a trick or it wont work. Skateboarding isn't a sport but more of a lifestyle, people that skate understand this more than people that don't.
Skateboarding is all about having a good time skating with your friends and also all the positive energy that comes off skateboarding whenever you land a trick. landing a new trick to a skateboarder is the greatest feeling in the world that could definitely be compared to something like catching a touchdown pass in football or scoring a goal in soccer. in skateboarding there are millions of tricks and variations you can do thats why people love it so much, you can express yourself on the board by showing your style.
Some of the more basic skateboarding tricks are ollies, kickflips, treflips, backsideflips, frontsideflips, and so on, but there are too many tricks to name. Skateboarding to a lot of people is a way to release stress and just have a great time with their friends there is nothing bad about it. Skateboard is the only thing for a lot of people and i feel like more people should appreciate such a great action sport.

number 13 my favorite movie

My favorite movie is American History X.  This movie is very great because it shows the viewers the different opinions and different perspective from the whites and the blacks in venice beach. This movie shows people the racism that was going on in venice beach at that time.

This movie showed the viewers the conflict between the whites and the hispanics and how corrupt some of the white people were being against them. They showed their hatred to the hispanics by raided the stores that used to be owned by whites and were taken over by “boarder jumpers” as they would say.

This movie was greatly directed and the actors were wonderful. I also loved that this movie was based off real life events and the commentary that people had to say about them, their thoughts and opinions about what was really happening with racial issues during that time.

The main theme of the story is that the white people in venice beach thought they were being overrun by blacks and their crimes that made their city worse, this made the whites start gangs and the white gangs led to more gangs by blacks and hispanics. I believe all cities,schools, and pretty much everywhere should have diversity. In this movie it shows life without diversity, which makes you think about why we are and should be a diverse nation.
