“First Persuasive Paragraph.”

Students should be able to play sports if they have low grades. Grades should not have anything to to with a students ability to participate in extracuricular activities such as sports. The reason for that being is that their are alot of benefits associated with students who play sports. Some students are just not mentally able to  meet the academic requirements to be able to play sports. If a student participates in sports it can help teach them alot of valuable life lessons such as perseverance and the knowledge of how to live a  healthy life. The bottom line is that grades can get in the way of a great opportunity for a student to be a part of something greater than themselves.

The song Highway to Hell by AC/DC represents San Pasqual Academy because of that bad choices that some of the people make.The choices that they make will ultimately screw up the rest of their lives

Taking everything in my stride
Dont need reason, dont need rhyme
Aint nothing I'd rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too, yeah

Hey satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey momma, look at me
Im on my way to the promised land
OWWW

Im on the highway to hell

“’The Bass, the River, and Shelia Mant’ Airhead Stereotype.”

The character known as Sheila Mant in ’The Bass, the River, and Shelia Mant’ can be characterized as a beautiful airhead. The reason for that stereotype is that she is unaware of what is really going on in different situations. An example for that is when the boy she was with let the biggest bass he had ever seen get away for Sheila and she ended up leaving the party in Eric Caswells Corvette. Another instance is when Sheila says to the main character that he is a funny kid after all that he did for her.
