I feel anxious … for next year.

I like people who … are fun to be around.

All it takes to make me happy is … food and soccer. 

What I really want to do is … play on the beach with my friends and family. 

I wish that … it was warmer outside. 

I don’t like when people are … immuture.

A person really should ... live like they were dying.

I just hate it that … power and greed rule the world.

I just love it that ... I'm going to have a sleepover this weekend.

My family

My family is a soccer team, we work together and for each other.
My father is the coach always directing and supporting us.
My mother is the ref keeping us all in line.
My sister is the forward always creating.
My other sister is the defense, always strong in what she believes.
My youngest sister is the wing player always full of energy and eager for the ball.
My best friend is the fan who is a critical part of the team,
even though she isn't on the actual team.
I am the captain of the team always looking after the rest of the team,
making sure they always know that I'm there for them.

Lean on Me Music Video


Lean on Me by Bill Withers


Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand (Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Second Verse
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand (Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (if you ever need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me
Call me (if you need a friend)
General Idea
Every single human bean hates the feeling of loneliness. Most people fear being alone and having no one there to help them. In this song he’s letting the person he loves know that they can lean on him, that they don’t have to go through it alone. He will be there for them when they are going through a rough time and in turn he knows they will be there for him when he’s going through a hard time. He also tells all of us that we have someone we can lean on, we just have to call and let them help you.
Quote Inferences
We all have pain/We all have sorrow/But if we are wise/We know that there's always tomorrow:---The first two lines tell me that he knows all too well of the pain and sorrow of this world. It also tells me that he knows he’s not the only one who has gone through it. Over the years he has gotten wise and hasn’t let one rough patch strop him from living. He always knows tomorrow will come and the sorrow and pain wont last.

If there is a load you have to bear/That you can't carry/I'm right up the road/I'll share your load/If you just call me: ---This is a vey caring and loving man. He is willing to bear the load with his friend so his friend wont feel as much weight on his back. All he needs is his friend to let him help, to trust him. He is the friend we all hope to have, one that will always think of us first and themselves second.

My Name

My name’s meaning changes where ever I am and who ever I'm with. For most people it means a hard working, quiet, soccer player. My soccer team, however, knows me as a crazy fun, killer soccer player. They always know that I’ll have their back on and off the field. My best friend knows my name to be a trusted one, one she can always count on whenever she calls it and one she will remember forever. My family knows me as one that gets miss judged by others a lot but never by them. They always know what is going on with me and how to help me. I stand for loyalty, hard work, and caring for those in need. It means I’ll never turn my back on those I love most and will support them no matter the cost.
What I find to be what others think when they say my name, is a strong girl. A leader. Someone who won’t lead them in the wrong direction but someone who always strives to lead them to success. My friends lean on me when they are in need of comfort; random strangers have even leaned on me before. My name is my reputation, my values, everything that I am and want to be. A lot is expected to come of my name and I will always try to reach that expectation.

Crucible Cast



I chose Josh Holloway as John Proctor for a number of reasons. First of all he looks like a rugged farmer, which is how Proctor is described physically in the play. Josh is also good looking and has very developed muscles like a farmer should. In Lost Josh’s character played a bad boy who was cheating on all sorts of girls. He also got together with Kate and then broke up with her to be with Juliet who was his first love. Thereby cheating on Juliet in the process. He fits as Proctor because he cheated but feels bad about it and doesn’t want to do it again.
John Proctor: Josh Holloway



Reverend John Hale-Michael Emerson


I chose Michael Emerson for John Hale because he looks like a young businessman. He has that know it all look on his face, and the vest completes the ‘best of the best ‘look. I picked him also because of the role he played on Lost. In Lost he was the man who thought he knew everything about the mysterious Island. The people he was in charge of respected him and they also believed everything he said. In the play John Hale has the same respect from the community.

Reverend Samuel Parris- Terry O’quinn

I chose Terry O’quinn for this role because he looks like he thinks he is above you. His smirk says I know more than you so just shut up. He has also played the role of a person with a higher power in Lost. In that role he believed whole-heartedly that he was above others and they should respect him more. Reverend Parris believes the same thing about himself in the play.





Abby Williams- Evangeline Lilly

I chose Evangeline Lilly for this role because of the role she played in Lost. She was the girl who was sleeping around with all the guys. She cheated on one man to be with Sawyer (Josh Holloway) then got rejected for Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell).  I also think she has that innocent on the outside but devilish on the inside look. She is also very pretty and young just like Abby.




 Elizabeth Proctor- Elizabeth Mitchell
           
I chose Elizabeth Mitchell because of the role she played in Lost. The relationship between Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) is just like the relationship between Abby and Goody Proctor. They hate each other and always suspect each other when wrongs are done. Kate cheated with Juliet’s man just like Abby cheated with Proctor. She isn’t as good-looking as Evangeline Lilly either, which is another thing she has in common with Goody Proctor.


Marry Warren-Emilie De Ravin

I chose this actor for this role because of a different role she played in Lost. She was the character Clair who became friends with Kate (Evangeline Lilly). She always thought Kate was a good friend but found out that she stole her child. In the Crucible Abby betrays her friends by making them lie about what they did in the forest. Kate betrays Clair in Lost; therefore she is a good choice for the role of Marry Warren.

Goody Rebecca Nurse- L. Scott Caldwell
I chose this actor for this part because she looks like a very caring and nice person. She also looks like she is comfortable with herself and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. In some roles she has played she is very much respected and loved. In her role in Lost she was one of the few people who hadn’t tried to kill, cheat, or steal.





Goody Ann Putnam- FIonnula Flanagan

I chose her for this role because she looks like an angry old woman.  She looks like she has been through a lot and wants revenge on someone. In the crucible Goody Putnam wants revenge on the people she believes caused her children to die. Also in some roles she has played she was a manipulative old woman trying to keep her son safe and happy.







Thomas Putnam- Alan Dale

I chose Alan Dale for this role because he has that businessman look to him. The suit he is wearing looks very nice and expensive which leads me to believe he is a wealthy man. I also chose him for the role he played in Lost. He was married to Flonnula Flanagan in the show so it’ll be easy to pretend to be married again. He also was a businessman in the show, always trying to get more power, just like Thomas Putnam.




Tituba-April Grace

I chose April Grace because she has the look of someone who has been through a lot. She has worn features but still looks smart. I mainly chose her because of the role she played in Lost. She was a slave to Alan Dale’s character and to Michael Emerson’s character. Also there was a scene where one of her prisoners begged her to do something and she did, and then got punished for it. Tituba did the same thing for Abby and her friends and it almost cost her life.
