Point Of View

Author's Note: This essay is about Point of View and I’m writing this about song lyrics and what I think it’s about.

The song that I’m writing point of view on is I Roll Up and I chose this song because its one of my favorite songs by Wiz Khalifa. I think this song is about a relationship and this girl should break up with his boyfriend and get with him the reason Wiz says I roll up is because he will come whenever the girl needs his help and he says that he doesn't really care what her friends think of him. He's also telling her that they will be on vacation all the time and he tells her that it won’t be boring hanging out with him.

Lyrics
[Wiz Khalifa - Verse 1]
Its your anniversary isn't it
And your man ain't acting right
So you packin' your Domiar luggage up callin' my cell phone, try and catch a flight
You know one thing straight, I'll be there girl whenever you call me
When you at home that's your man, soon as you land you say that's all me
But ain't all g with him no more, you ain't entertained
Since I meet you a couple months ago you ain't been the same
Not sayin I'm the richest man alive but I'm in the game
As long as you keep it 100 Imma spend this change,

[Chorus]
Whenever you need me
Whenever want me,
You know you can call me, I'll be there shortly
Don't care what your friends say, cause they don't know me
I can be your best friend, and you be my homie
I ain't gonna flex, I'm not gonna front
You know if I ball, then we all gonna stunt
Send her my way, she ain't gotta hold up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up

[Wiz Khalifa - Verse 2]
I try to stay out your business
But on the real you're so obvious
And if you keep fitting me in your plans and messin' up, your mans gonna catch onto us

That white sand surrounding us
He be handcuffing, he should work for them officers
If you rolling I got a spot where I can put you on this medical, and send you home doctored up
You wanna ride with me cause you say that he boring
Wake up you rollin' , cooking eggs in the morning
Ain't scared to spend this money I'll make more of it
First you was in the sky now you say you in orbit

[Chorus]

No matter where I am
No matter where you are
I'll be there when it’s over baby
Cause I was there from the start
No matter if I'm near
Don't matter if your far
All you do is pick the phone up lady
And I'll be there when you call

Whenever you need me
Whenever want me,
You know you can call me, I'll be there shortly
Don't care what your friends say, cause they don't know me
I can be your best friend, and you be my homie
I ain't gonna flex, I'm not gonna front
You know if I ball, then we all gonna stunt
Send her my way, she ain't gotta hold up
Whenever you call baby I roll up

Whenever you need me
Whenever want me,
You know you can call me, I'll be there shortly
Don't care what your friends say, cause they don't know me
I can be your best friend, and you be my homie
I ain't gonna flex, I'm not gonna front
You know if I ball, then we all gonna stunt
Send her my way, she ain't gotta hold up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up

I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up

Ty and Cole Similarities

Author's Note: This essay is going to be about compare and contrast and I will be comparing the main character of Touching Spirit Bear and Football Hero and those characters are Ty and Cole.

Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen is about Cole getting fight with everyone and Cole's parents are no better than Cole when Cole's dad get drunk he beats Cole later in the book Cole's father tries to get custody of Cole. Cole lets his anger out on a boy named peter Cole has to go to this detention center where Cole has a choice of going to jail or this Circle of Justice System. Cole must be Stranded on this island for a year because of what he did. The story Football Hero by Tim Green has a main character like Cole his name is Ty and his problem is family just like Cole Ty's parents die in a car crash and he has to go live with his uncle and aunt. His uncles has a cleaning business and he has go around buildings to wash their toilets and when Ty starts working in the business he also is going to tryout for football  and he has a hard time trying to make friends. I think I would be Ty rather than Cole because Cole gets mauled by a big white spirit bear and Ty just gets made fun of and you can always fix that but you cant fix getting mauled by a bear.

The way these two characters are similar is that they both have family problems like Ty has to live with his Aunt and Uncle and Cole gets beaten by his dad. Ty and Cole have both physical and emotional pain. Cole's physical pain is when Cole gets attacked by the bear and he gets hurt very badly and Ty's physical pain is when the football team pushes him around and throws him in the mud. Ty's emotional pain is when he got bullied by his teammates and he gets called toilet boy and Cole's emotional pain was when he kept remembering the attack of the bear. Cole also had emotional pain by remembering his dad beating him and his parents leaving.

Cole fixed his problem by just calming down and asking more question to Garvey and Edwin how to get rid of the fear of being attacked again. Once Cole had spent one month on the island he started to help rebuild the cabin that Cole burnt down when Garvey and Edwin started talking some sense into Cole he started to be more relaxed and didn't really complain as much as he did when he first got on the island. Ty fixed his pain by showing everyone who he is by showing that he can play football and hes very fast Ty also went and told his aunt and uncle and the school principle that he was getting pushed around and getting called names.

My conclusion for this essay is that Ty and Cole do have some similarities and some differences, some differences are that Cole got more physical pain because he got hurt more and his right arm didn't work as good as it would before the attack. Ty's Differences are that he had at least some of his family to help him get through his parents death and the bullying. 

Football Brothers

Author's Note: This essay was about theme "determination and hard work" the book I did it on was Football Hero by Tim Green  and how Ty changed his life and his brothers.

Ty is the main character in Football Hero after his parents death he had to move in with his Uncle Gus his uncle always told Ty that he had no time for sports. In the book, Ty goes through some struggles like his parents death and moving schools then living with his uncle. When Ty goes to school he tries out for the football team and he makes the team but when he showed up in the locker room everyone made fun of him because he cleans toilets for his uncles business. One day when Ty's brother Thane came to visit, he gave Ty some tips on how to be better in football and stay in school after football practice. The next day Ty and Thane go and practice football he taught Ty how to shed blocks and block. After Thane and Ty did that practice he took Ty back home and wished him goodnight. 

You know that you have to have good grades to play sports and you always have to work extra hard so you can graduate from college. You will always have to work for it like how Ty kept practicing and getting better at football. When Ty got in the gambling game with his uncle and his uncle's boss he had to keep a secret from his brother because he thought his brother would be mad at Ty because he was using him for fantasy football to find out all the injuries. Once Thane found out about Ty getting involved with the gambling Thane was very mad at Ty, when Ty told him the truth they had to go talk to the police about the gambling and how they can take down Lucy Ty's uncles boss.When Ty got in trouble he could of ruined Thanes career because of his uncle, if Ty never got in to the gambling he could of just kept going on with his life and just kept going to football. Just like a NFL running back Reggie Bush he got stripped of his Heisman trophy because he sold his college football jersey when he was in college and there's a rule in college football that you cant do that so the NCAA took the Heisman trophy away from him.You know that you have to have good grades to play sports and you always have to work extra hard so you can graduate from college. You will always have to work for it like how Ty kept practicing and getting better at football.
