DeVaughn’s Storys

Green
Grass
Traffic light
Money!
Seem
gleam
mean
green apple
sour apple
blow pops
jealousy
anger
anxiousness
I don’t know

I wish I could fly
Like a bird in the sky
And I dream I am soaring
I am flying over mountains
I used to make belief
But now I have found my wings
I seem to be floating
But I’m really just dreaming

My “Big Day” Poem

 It is My birthday

presents, cake and trick candles

best birthday ever

I came across a kangaroo

On the way to school

His arms were very defined

And his legs were very long

 I hid him in my car

So that teacher would not see

 He stayed there very quietly

 Until frightened by a bell

“The world is a giddy montage of vivid gestures- traffic police, street vendors, expressway drivers, teachers, children on playground, athletes with their exuberant hugging, clenched fists and “high fives.” People all over the world use their hands, heads, and bodies to communicate expressively.”(By Gary Imai)

Non verbal communication plays an important role in American communication just as much as it does for the entire world. Even though we all use gestures, they may mean something entirely different in another town or country. For example in the United States extending your thumb upwards would mean O.K. or your looking for a ride, but In Australia, if pumped up and down is an obscene gesture, and in Germany and Japan, the signal for “one.”

            Another example of how one hand movement could mean one thing in one state in something else in another would be whistling, throughout Europe, whistling at public events is a signal of disapproval, even derision. Another gesture with different cultural meanings would be making direct eye contact, in places like Asia, Puerto Rico, and West India, it would be interpreted as being mean, disrespectful, or threatening. In America it would be a sign of curiosity, infatuation, or confusion.

            Also Greeting are different between other cultures, for example in Korea “Among themselves, bowing is the traditional form for both greeting and departing.

Western and Korean male friends usually greet with both a slight bow and shaking hands. When shaking hands, both hands are sometimes used. Women usually do not shake hands, especially with men, but usually just nod slightly. The senior person offers to shake hands first, but the junior person bows first. However, shake hands with a light grip and perhaps with eyes averted.” (By Gary Imai)

            There are many ways that people all around the world communicate without using words, like using their hands, head, legs, eyes, and posture

I’m Val Henry and I want to say a few words in memory of my grandson, DeVaughn Walker. I am here to commemorate the long life that DeVaughn had. I could have never thought that I would live out my own grandson, but since I did I think it is only right I speak on how I feel about him passing.

 (I’ll even miss the times when he caught the flu and I would take care of him till he was better)

(At twenty five he fell in love with a lovely woman and they married at twenty six and had 3 children.)

(When he was 16 he made the football and in his second game he made his first touchdown in his life. He called every body about it. Also at 16 he got his licensee and he was as excited for it as he was his touchdown. )

( after high school he became a famous writer of suspense and fiction stories it only took his first book to get him noticed in American readers eyes and his success just took of from their.)

(he had lived in Maryland most of his life but when his family divorced he moved to Florida back to Maryland and ended up in Texas, but he always told me he loved to be in Maryland the most because of all the family he had there.)

I am a blue jay
blue as a non cloudy sky
I  dart through the sky
I  eat worms
I can fly so fast you see me as a blur
I can blend in with the sky
I am a blue jay

I believe in sleeping. Helps revitalize the mind and passes the time when you’re bored if I prolong the amount of time a slept in a day I definitely would. To me laying your head down and resting your eyes can help you do anything. For example this one time I was taking a history test where you would fill in the blanks of a time line. Of course I had studied (tried to memorize the whole time line) but when It came to the test all my memorization had left me, so I went to sleep for about 15 minuets and when I woke up I had remembered most of it. I’m the type of person that thinks that test scores would go up if there was a mandated “Nap Time”. Rather than going into the lunch room and having to bear noise coming from every direction, I’d go to the library or go to sleep in my classroom to get ready for whatever is next on my agenda. When you grow up as an only child I guess you tend to become more accustomed to quiet, but when you go to school it is something completely different. People fighting, others shouting, teachers in particular, and the only escape I have found to all the chaos is sleep.

As he was reassuring me, he swang his smooth mace making contact with one of the radiers skull. and before the body hit the ground marcus lunged toward the last man thrusting his weapon into his gutt with unhuman strength and speed I have never seen him display… they never had a chance!

“Spectaris must have taught you well” I admitted. Yup. now panting marcus put away his weapon smiling at the sound it made. “You too huh?” I said amused with what I saw. What. Ah, its nothing forget about it.

Today is probably the happiest day of my life ,  Geo finnaly learned how to speak!!!
