The Big Day
On March 11 of the year 2015, an unluckily best man, Mark Twain, finds himself behind some challenging obstacles. Preventing him from arriving to the wedding on time. Twain speeds himself through the what seems like endless small towns, till he finally reaches the city, where the wedding is taking place. In the city of Atlanta, the best man rushes in the church, only to come face to face with the bride and groom in the middle of their vows.
Who: A young man running late
What: Is running late to the wedding
Where: The wedding is in a church in a forest type atmosphere
When: Rainy, damp day
Why: He got stuck behind obstacles such as trailers, and trains
How: Drove his Volkswagen - Jetta to the wedding
Notes:
In the first scene there is a man driving a car in an area with lots of open land; while there is light sprinkling weather. (man has his windshield wipers on).There are cloudy skies.The man is nervous. The road curves constantly.
The bride is getting ready with the help of her bridesmaids and has a man(her father) sitting in a near by chair watching. The priest( holds a bible) and another man(older) are talking behind the bride. Driver now is located in a forest atmosphere. Still damp. Man is worried about time. Gets stuck behind trailer momentarily.
On a wet day, a young man between his early 30's and mid 30's drives his Volkswagen on a mission to get to a wedding in a forest type atmosphere. Unfortunate for the young man he has trouble controlling hills temper when he gets stuck behind a passing train. Though late he shows up to the wedding as the wedding couple has already taken their place and has started the traditional process of marriage.
The mysterious young man that is rushing to get to the wedding in time is finally identified. Though many have their own opinions on his character, there is specific evidence on who he is.
Journalist Grace Holloway discovered through inside sources, that the young man was in fact James Cuban. Cuban currently holds the title of top-leading household name for designer kitchen utensils.
" As I got closer I began to depicter the man as the one and only James Cuban," insider Erica Granger squealed.
Not only was Cuban unfashionably late, but was got in the middle of the wedding transaction involving the vows.
"Some would say perfect timing, but I don't think the bride and groom were entirely happy,"friend of the groom, Ashley Daniels respond.
It was told that the bride turned an awful shade of red, while the groom was just somewhat confused and surprised.
"Yeah, he had no right to even come [to the wedding], he didn't even get invited," Erica Granger announces about James.

Student of the Month Story
Who- Grayson H.
What- Earned the Student of the Month
Where- Bowie High School
When- This month
Why- For helping fellow classmates cheat on test
How- Letting them see his test
Mr Reeves. Realizing my previous mistakes I have altered my story to meet the requirements. This is similar to the one graded, but with the correct format.
This month, a freshman Bowie student, earned the title Student of the Month for helping classmates cheat on tests. Grayson H. snuggled his test into the hands of his classmates, to help them receive higher grades. The school has recognized his sneakiness with the title of Student of the Month.
Confusingly Grayson has stolen the Student of the Month title; based on previous actions one might perceived that he cheated to get the award itself.
"I say I worked pretty hard to earn the title," Greyson announced.
Only a freshman and Grayson H. has earned the title of Student of the Month. Unsure of his future, he is working his way to earned another one, though he doesn't believe he will ever earn the title again.
"I was surprised to have earned the title in the first place," Greyson stated.
Though still young with many years of schooling left, Grayson has already openly admitted his distaste for following school rules. He choose to otherwise, improve the grades of others by giving out the correct answers to every assignment they need assisting.
"My parents have no idea that I have received the title The Student of the Month,"Grayson announced.
Rather than inform his parents of the actions he takes place in, he decides to hide his new-found skill of cheating without consequences. Since the staff hasn't been able to detect his sneaky cheating skills, they have rewarded him with the title.
"All my friends have openly agreed that Im now super awesome" Grayson said happily.

Sensory Overload
1) I think this statement is true when talking about people defending something they are closely attached to, like their city/ home town. Most people take pride in their surroundings even if the objects/ architeacture don't resemble much. As a photographer, I understand how this photographer finally came to the understanding of the place he has been documenting, though the appearance is somewhat different and unique to what he was used to.
2) When I look through these pictures I kind of want to shoot there because of the brightly colored objects and try to understand the view-point locals see.
3) I think the childhood would be very imaginative and creative because there is just so many toys and objects to play with.
4) My favorite photo is the one where the mother is talking with her daughter inside a place that sells decorative platters.
