Mortal Kombat - Rap

This rap was made for fun in a class for an assignment, it doesn't exactly make sense by I have to make it rhyme and is mostly about sub - zero.

Here you go.

Mortal Kombat


(I have no friends...

I'm just a feared person...

poeple dont expect me...

to live here... 

so....

then I became a ninja...)

and... thats when my story starts and then it happens,

.
..yup, yup, yup, yup, yup,yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup

(Mortal Kombat..)

I'm just a ninja, exposed coming to make you bleed.
Jumping from wall to wall because I'm light on my feet.
Thats right no way you can figure me out im sub - zero i'll freeze you about.
No way take a shot, i'll dodge it lighting fast.
Come on try to kick me you'll see what happens next.
 Uh what, thats right I use magic tricks.
If you try to bully me you'll be flexed from the neck.
I use snow Ice and candy as my defense.
Thats rigth round 2 sub - zero wins. I'm to quick to get shot at,
 and I don't fear men or anythin.
You cant defeat me because im dangerous Im the mother goose of thee animals. 

ohhh Mortal Kombat...

I ain't no wombat 

this stupid top hat wont fit meeee

so..

Mortal Kombat (fists in the air)

I'm no acrobat (victory for me to share)

I do combat and it does hurt meee...

...I'm the worst of the worst, but I'm still better than Kanye.
 I'm the nightmare on Elm street and I'm cold hearted like lightin. 
Go ahead try to kill im not afraid to go around town,
I'm as light as a feather I make no sound.
When they ask "hey where did that guy go" standing on the rooftop watching out the window. When they ask for a handshake I refuse instead I kill,
my leg is so powerful that is could break a mill.
Keep my voice low no I never get loud if you spot me
 then I guess we must fight infront of the crowd I'm just 
 like rest and the Karate kid.
I stack cash down And I rack up bids and take way more hits than Rihanna did
oh.. did I mention my fists are cold as ice touch em once you'll freeze yourself twice. they call me the man with no heart. I never give remorse. Revenge is a dish best surved cold.

Yeah take a punch in the face, 
or a bycicle kick 
do a back flip and I wont even get hit
oh thats rigth you cant squeal out of this
when I get in rage we'll see what comes next


Mortal Kombat (oh i douged that hit)
There is no wombat
I'm no acrobat I'm only meee

(Mortal Kombat)

My Special Place

The Washroom

The early morning sunlight rays. 

Thin beams of light slides through the window.

My eyes open.

With a slight blur to my vision.

I get up.

And the day begins.

My body is paralyzed.

As if it can only go in one direction.

I enter a room a small room. 

With white clean contrasting walls.

The sink lies motionless.

Dripping an echo of a tiny splash.

Suddenly a rush of water.

Buries the echo.

Then stops.

It leaves, moisturizing the dome.

Living it smooth and silent.

I raise my face and see a parallel universe.

In front of me, mimicking everything I do.

I turn to my right.

I face a large hollow rectangular bowl.

My foot enters a comfy, clean, cold gulf.

I turn on a waterfall. 

Roaring as if it were Niagara falls.

But the bottom enters a swirling vortex of darkness.

A mist forms .

A ghost made of steam appears.

Then the roaring stops.

Into a motionless quiet drip of echoes.

I then grab a thick coat of soft cozy furs.

 Coated in plain simple patterns. 

Covered in soaked markings.

I equip myself into soft cottons.

I open the door.

The large form of mist bursts out.

And my day continues.  

  

Assignment #11: Letters of Remembrance

Belgium 
November 25th, 1917 


Dearest, Brother


We still fight the battle  in the cold trenches of Ypres. Half of our soldier's are dead, for what? Peace & freedom for our country, I might as well have two left feet for the people we lost. The war is almost over, but every day is another dollar, they say fate is worse than death, I don't know which to believe. Some days I wish to be home and watch the 1st Pulitzer prize-winning play by Jesse Lynch Williams, "Why Marry?" & sleep all day. But not this day, life moves on, when I battled at war I would see Tanks, planes bombs flame throwers and explosions each soldier would yell take cover whenever anyone sees a grenade or anything that flies past them. About 6,181,000 soldiers died at war 29,500 are injured, everyone tells me this is the war of the century the worst one to occur I think it only begun. Many of our men are getting effected by post traumatic stress disorder. Everything miserable, I will be home soon but don't count on it, may god fight by my side.   

Field Trip 3, 2, 1

Hello Blogger's! As if you know when we (my class) returned from our field trip to the Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. I have to write a 3, 2, 1 assissngment, based on the field trip.

3 Specific things I enjoyed overall.

The 3 things I enjoyed overall would be, when our class was part of play, well actually more like an audience of the play, we learned a lot as our fur traders have to make a promises to a pledge and I also like how there was a horse exhibit that showed the history of horses from the smallest of species to the largest, and how we got to go to the archaeologist exhibit and that we were allowed to dig in the sand.


2 Important things I learned.


The stuff that I learned was in the fur trader exhibit was that the traders who set of sailing abandoned they're wives and that they're wives would  replace them with new husbands also that the fur traders would replace there wives with the first nations women.


1 Thing that I would've changed.


Would be more time at the museum, (because of the buses) it was really interesting and I would really want to explore more stuff and exhibits at the museum every thing there was really fascinating.

Assignment #10: Mystery History Maker

Hello blogger's, tomorrow me and my class are going to a field trip to The Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. 




Here is a link to the museum website and here is a link more about Tom Longboat click Alfred Shrubb and click the title above this post tell you about the assignment focus.




On my assignment, I have to play this Mystery History Maker game which is about, which Canadian historian is most likely to match up with you. 


The famous historian that matched up with me is "Tomas (Tom) Longboat" (picture above)


He was a born on June 4th 1887-1949, and he was the world famous long-distance runner. In 1907 he smashed the Boston Marathon record by five minutes! In 1999, almost after 100 years of his run, he was named Canada's top athlete of the twentieth century by Maclean's magazine. His famous quote was "You've got to get out and run and stick through to the end to win".

1. Yes, I was able to Identify my Historian with clues provided.
2. The stuff I have in common with this historian, is that in our spare time we do sports, we're both fast in running (but he's way faster), both of our first language was our native (country) language and we both have one brother (except the fact he has two sisters as well). 
3. Tomas Longboat is significant to Canada as being one of the fastest and most athletic person in whole of Canada, by being crowned "twentieth century athlete  by Maclean's magazine". 

Some notes on Tom Longboat

• A school in Toronto is named after him.
• His faced appeared on a postage stamp in 2000.
• An athletic award in his name is given out each year.
• The annual Toronto Island 10-kilometre race is named after him. 
• He had one brother and two sisters.

One more amazing note, was when his family didn't believe how fast he could run until the time he raced his brother. His brother drove a horse and a buggy with a half-hour head start, Tom still beat him!

Assignment #5 - Island Man: Work With It

Island Man (for a Caribbean island man in London who still wakes up to the sound of the sea)

by Grace Nichols.

.

Morning

an island man wakes up

to the sound of blue surf

in his head

the steady breaking and wombing

wild seabirds

and fishermen pushing out to sea

the sun surfacing defiantly

from the east

of his small emerald island.

.

He always comes back

groggily groggily

comes back to sands

of a grey metallic soar

to a surge of wheels

to dull North Circular roar

muffling muffling

his crumpled pillow waves

island man heaves himself

another London day.

The Most Important words:

1. wakes up

2. island man

3. blue surf

4. wild seabirds

5. sea

6. emerald island

7. comes back

8. groggily

9. north circular roar

10. pillows

The place I would like to wake up in...

 One of the places I've always wanted to wake up in, would in the Bahamas Islands "Poseidon's Undersea Resort". Waking up underwater would be something really new and extremely cool and the luxury in there looks really relaxing.
