Brainstorm
Main Character: The man character is David he is 28.
Title: LAST CHANCE ..
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. You only have one chance. David ate the fruit of death and now he shall pay.(sound effect) Have you ever attempt to beat death at its own game. David the attorney had to find out the hard way. It all started when he was on his way to work. he went to the office to check his mail. David, Ms. Paula, the receptionist said, you have a new case. An elderly lady whom is 89 has not paid her mortgage for the past year and is in question on being evicted. "Thank you Paula" said David as he walked out smiling from ear to ear. "I'm going to take everything this women has, she is useless and is taking up space" said David in his head.
When is the women's appointment,said David. Um her appointment will be starting in 5 minutes. "How come I'm receiving this information so late Ms. Paula", said David. I gobbled a cheese bagel and it spilled on my shirt and i had to run home and get a new one. "Ms. Paula just send the old woman in please" David commanded. The elderly woman then entered the room with a reddest ran down nightgown. "Have a seat ma'am" insisted David. Why thank you sir. Your profile states that you haven't paid your mortgage in over a year, you are now 89 years of age and your family suggest that you are put in a nursing home, said David. "Sir no disrespect to my family suggestion and your place of work but I've been living there since I was 8 years of age and I don't want to give it up" said the elderly woman. Ma'am I understand but you aren't financially worthy enough to keep your house, said David. "What do you mean, I've lived her for 81 years", said the elderly women. "Ma'am you are being evicted in a week so I advice you to get in contact with your family and schedule to be put in a nursing home", David said rudely. NO!!!No!!! this is my home.I am very proud person but Mr. David I beg of you. She then begged of her house grabbing on his leg. Security!!! said David. Security!!! Security then grabbed the elderly women. As she got up she said I begged of you and you showed no compassion. She then pointed her finger and said "¡me las pagarás(you'll pay)".
Choice A: David the stuck up mean attorney cries.
"Why did that worthless piece of fling say I shall pay for this!!" said David. "You could have been more compassionate about the situation, you don't give a crap about no one but you self" said Ms. Paula. "Ms. Paula, personally I don't care of your opinion or anyone else opinion" David said rudely. Mean while David continued to do his paper work, he was the only one left in the office from that day. As David continues his work, he attempt to drink his water that was on his desk but he realize it was turning a reddest color."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" yelled David. "What the heck is this!!!" said David nervously as his hand started to bleed and his eyes started to cry blood. All of a sudden the elderly women came out the closet. "What are you doing to me" cried David. Why have you put this maledict on me, take it back you horrible excuse for a human" screamed David. The elderly women then spoke, "He rogado a usted y usted mostró molestias. Vas a morir una muerte horrible(I have begged you and you showed inconveniences. You are going to die a horrible death
)" said the elderly women." AAAHHHH" yelled David. He ran up the stairway tracking blood everywhere he went. The elderly women followed him repeating the ritual of death."He rogado a usted y usted mostró molestias. Vas a morir una muerte horrible"." Leave me alone" cried David. He ran to the top of the building and enter the door that lead to the roof top." He rogado a usted y usted mostró molestias. Vas a morir una muerte horrible". SHe followed him to the roof top and ripped his tie. She held it up and said "Esta maldición se ajustará a usted lanzó una generación a otra"(This curse will follow you threw generation to generation). The elderly women then spoke" What ever is coming to you is not just for pleasure in me losing my home but its what you deserve". She then vanished.
A #2: No one believes David
David just sat there, on the roof top, traumatized and didn't believe what he was experiencing. Some neighbors must have heard the noise coming from the building because the cops came running to the roof top. When they got there, the office was a mess and the property was destroyed. The only person that was there was David the attorney. There was no evidence that convinced the detectives there was someone else in there with David. David then told them the whole story as best as he can. " the old lady um made my eyes bleed and spoke different languages, and she um made my water turn to blood and she chased me, she made me cry, she took my tie" said David nervously. The therapist for homicide or criminal situations thought David was in a allusion of his own. The police escorted David home and explained to him he would have to do therapy for 2 to three weeks. David understood and fell fast asleep. David hen awoke because he was hearing funny noises from under his bed." I know your out there you crazy sociopath. Leave me alone" David screamed from the top of his bed. "muerte (death)" went the noise again.The lights started to flick on and off, the TV started coming on and off. " I'm sorry OK!! You can have your stupid house. You deserve it because it's as pathetic as you" screamed David.Then he heard another noise "esta es su última oportunidad( this is your last chance)" went the noise. Everything stopped, the lights stop flicking and so did the TV. Swish went the bed, it flipped David off the bed and into a dark hole. This hole took David back in time. David was puzzled but he realized that his whole day started over.
A#2: The elderly women shows David why the house is so important
" Your in my world now, well the world I did have" said the elderly women sadly. "What are you talking about you psychopath" said David rudely. " Why, Why shall you be so narrow minded about peoples feeling?" screamed the elderly women. Surprisingly David had no answer. He knew he was wrong for what he did to people and how he treated them but no one has ever confronted him. People usually said it behind his back. "HA" laughed the elderly women. "Your nothing but a coward. I wonder how was your childhood that make you act like this?"said the elderly women. Once again, David didn't have a response. "Come on with me boy, where going to take a little trip" said the elderly women. They traveled back in time to when David was 10 years of age. " Mom, I joined this club at school where my class go to a nursing home and we adopt a grandparent. My Grandparent's name is Ms. James. She was born in Alabama and was a famous poet and singer in her times. She has 18 children and 20 grandchildren" said 10 year old David. " No one cares about them old people. They are worthless and they are below everyone because they cant do anything but take up space" said David's Mother, Ms. Johnson. 10 year old David ran into his room and cried himself to sleep. "That hurt you son, didn't it?" said the elderly women compassionately. " David couldn't speak. " You think things don't scar men? They are boys before men" said the elderly women. David cried and finally spoke, " I'm so sorry. I promise I'll get your house back ma'am. She then smiled and spoke, " I believe you and that's why I'm going to give you one more chance. She gave him a lily. The lily dissolved around him and took him back to where it all started, when he was on his way to check his mail.
A#3: David's Last Chance.
David was on his way to work. he went to the office to check his mail. David, Ms. Paula, the receptionist said, you have a new case. An elderly lady whom is 89 has not paid her mortgage for the past year and is in question on being evicted." Thank you Ms. Paula" said David. He walked out the office with a facial expression expressing care and compassion."Ms. Paula just send the old woman in please" asked David. The elderly woman then entered the room with a reddest ran down nightgown. "Have a seat ma'am" insisted David. Why thank you sir. Your profile states that you haven't paid your mortgage in over a year, you are now 89 years of age and your family suggest that you are put in a nursing home, said David. "Sir no disrespect to my family suggestion and your place of work but I've been living there since I was 8 years of age and I don't want to give it up" said the elderly woman. Ma'am I understand and that why I'm going to give you 3 more years to pay your mortgage " said David kindly. Why thank you sir, I'm astound by your offer and I bless you with the best threw you life time' said the elderly women. " Your welcome ma'am. Mr. Johnson will escort you to your vehicle and you have a pleasant day" said David. As the elderly women left the room, David expressed a pleasant smile and was pleased with what he did. He lived a pleasant life just as the elderly women blessed him with. The elderly women passed away two years later living rent free. She died peacefully in her sleep in the world was great.

As you can see David the attorney didn't change his ways. He continued to be his mean self. Three years after he encountered that horrific experience, he disappeared last seen at a meeting in New York. No one knows the mystery of David the attorney's death. Some say he ran away from his life and started over. Others say he died from an illness that has a side effect of disappearance. I know what happen. He ate the fruit of death and died an unexplainable death. Last Chance.

Lesson Reflection: Google search
• How will you use the tools you've learned about Google search for your other classes?
• Which tools ( similar words, number ranges, conversions etc.) do you believe you will use the most? Why?
• Which tool do you believe you will use the least? Why?
I will use the tools I learned about Google search for my other classes by using them for the ability of writing an essay. Sometimes I enjoy writing essays with awkward yet intelligent words and one of the tools Muthora Latoya introduce the class to informed us on how to find synonyms for other words. Another way I would use the tools Muthora introduced us to is in the process of research for science fairs. When doing science fairs I like accurate information. So when I try to look up something I wouldn't want predictions or estimations on a problem, I would like to see the answer, its proof, and the importance of it. The tool I believe I would use the most is the taking away one when you can look a word up and subtract what you don't want google to find. It seems much easy to comprehend what I'm looking for. The tool I believe I will use the least is the one that informs you to put quotations around a phrase. I say this because I don't pay to much attention to what famous people say and what they speak on and I don't think we will get assignments that involves someones quote.

The tool I believe I would use the most is the taking away one when you can look a word up and subtract what you don't want google to find. It seems much easy to comprehend what I'm looking for. The tool I believe I will use the least is the one that informs you to put quotations around a phrase. I say this because I don't pay to much attention to what famous people say and what they speak on and I don't think we will get assignments that involves someones quote.
