Does the song and lyrics to the song "Shake it off"match?

         Taylor Swifts new song titled "Shake It Off" is about relying on yourself and making your own decisions.  It seems to focus on not listening to others but being original and knowing yourself. In the lyrics the wording was pretty clear on what the message and interpretation should have been but different people could have interpreted it in many different ways.  The video depicts Taylor dancing to her own toon and not worrying what others are saying or how they want to dance.  From the lyrics as it states "And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake" I understood that as Taylor saying that no matter what, she will do her own thing even though the hatters are going to hate  we can't control other peoples feeling that is why we should only focus on ourselves and doing what makes us happy.  In the music video Taylor is singing, dancing, and shaking along with several different groups such as bands, dancers, and cheerleaders, in most of the scenes she is doing her own thing and shows that she is enjoying herself.  
             The music video and lyrics do relate to each other in some ways, for example when Taylor Swift says "I'm deciding on my own, I make the moves up as I go" this verse makes up most of the music video because when Taylor is dancing you can tell that she does not know all of the moves, she is determining them as she goes. The video and song show that even when others might show judgement we should ignore it and continue with what makes us happy.  The video shows Taylor Swift having fun dancing with different groups and finding friends among them rather than fitting into a single stereotype,  She stresses the message that things will work out in the end.  The lyrics and video show that no matter what we should enjoy our life and do things that make us happy. 

Prompt: I am writing a story in the perspective of a little man that lives inside of my mouth, the little man is planning to escape while the person is at the dentists office.

         Yuck! This cave is really warm and soggy. I wish I could get out of here and move to a new area, although sometimes it is not too bad. For example, if I ever get hungry I can always dig for crumbs in between the white lumps.  Even though I have everything I need I want more. I want to be able to experience something new and find someplace where there are others just like me. I could even make friends and go on adventures. I must get out of here.  I need to find a way out of this cave but it is very risky to explore.  There is a hole that gets tighter and then loosens up.  All the unlucky food that goes near it gets sucked in and never seen again. I never look back there because I know there would be no way out if I fell into there.
             Once in a while I see this bright light. It is the hole in which food comes in.  Twice a day this brush like creature comes in and brushes all of the white lumps and leaves this minty aroma which makes me dizzy. A waterfall then rushes in and exits as I hang on for dear life.  A long string then appears and rubes back and forth between each white lump.  I get my exercise by having to jump over the string as it swings back and forth.  Maybe where this brush and string enter could possibly be a way out into a new world.
           All I have to do is wait .. wait .. and wait..
           After feeling tired I decided to take a snooze.  Upon awakening I thought that I would wait for the brush to come back in so that I could grab onto it and make my escape. I then heard something loud and screechy. It felt as if I was in an earthquake, then it came to me, it was a spinning blade. I saw the light and held onto this white dome for my life. What if the big file thing destroyed the cave, what if I no longer will have a home, well I will not need it anymore because I am moving out of this den, this cave, this mysterious place that I call home. I just must stay alert to all of the things that are coming in the cave, I will hold on tight and be free.
          Oh good the shiny blade filling the dome with discordance is out. All of a sudden I saw another man, this was my chance to make a friend, and to escape together. I shook my hand at him.
         "Hello" I yelled...
          I heard nothing back then started walking towards him and it was as if he was also walking towards me, it was as if he was following all of my actions, I waved my hand and as if on que he waved his hand at the same time.
        "Ha, Ha, ok you can stop copying me now, but it is impressive how you can mimic all of my actions at the same time as I do them."
          The man talked just as I talked... then it dawned on me, this was just my reflection in a mirror, it has been a while since I had ever seen one.
          On the other side of the mirror I saw the reflection of a man wearing the color.. blo, blu, no blue, yes that is the color.  The man was about ten times my size, no 20, wait what am I saying, this man was about 1000 times my size, but wait look at his hair, it was long, no very long and blond. The man had brown eyes and lots of makeup the colors white, silver,  and a bit of blue.  All of this mans features appeared to be opposite of mine. He looked very strange, what a style.
        Then I saw the immense mirror return moving from side to side and I got a little freaked out,  all of a sudden the mirror disappeared and I was back to seeing almost nothing.  Zzzzzz I heard a slight buzzing sound and the light was visible again,  then just as if something was sucking the life out of this place, all of the dampness was gone and everything was arid and dry.  It feels as if something loud and strong was pulling me, pulling me into its surrounding, like trying to eat me alive.  I quickly grasped onto the white lump beside me but slowly my grasp was slipping and I fell into it.
      I was being sucked into a long tunnel, I saw nothing, I knew nothing, But I felt a lot. Then, PLOP, I fell into a puddle of muck. Was I still alive? Did I pass out? Where am I?
     "Hello, ummm are you like um ok? A little man uttered.
     " I think I am alright, But I have no idea where I am or what happened to me."
       I said to the man, a short slim man wearing a suit.
      "Don't worry you will like it here I will tell you where you are but first let me introduce you to some of my buddies." The man proudly stuttered.
     Hm, falling down a tunnel may just be my luck!

prompt: You walk past the old abandoned house on the corner of your street. A light comes on beckoning you to go in. You  do......

                                         The House on the Corner

            The house looks really spooky, the very top window has a dim light seeping through the draping red curtains. I really want to peek in, just out of curiosity, just to know who lives in the corner house of my street. I felt like something was calling me to enter the house, something wanted me to come in and I could sense it.  Alright just one step. Just one...

            Why hasn't anyone mentioned the neighbors that reside on the corner no one even acknowledges the corner house.  I have seen it here all my life,  the house is huge it does not fit in with the rest of small crowded houses on my street that look like someone used a cookie cutter to build them. Then I realized my mom will want me home in time for dinner which was in less than an hour so if I was going to make a move and enter the house then I better do it now.

           There was a short trail up to the house and I followed it.  As I was making my way up to the door it was as if the door was growing with each step I took. The doorway alone was taller than my house and I was surprised that there was no lock or at least something to hold people back from entering.

           Inside the house was like an abandoned cave it even smelled like one musty and cold, a bat flew by my head screeching really loudly into my ear drums. I felt cold sweat on palms of my hands.  Everything was starting to startle me, I felt several breezes catch my breath, the hair on my legs stood up like the fur on my cats back. The floor boards of the house were really screechy with every step I took I felt as if I would fall, fall into a great dungeon with a thump...

          The evening shadows made things less visible I had to squint even to see few feet in front of me,  but I could sense that something was near me and following me around.  A couple hallways were visible with last rays of sunshine streaming in.  One of them led to a stair case, maybe that would lead me to the light that I saw from the street.  I slowly creeped up the stairs and looked around with hope for the slightest gleam of light throughout the mansion. Then I saw a slight luster which looked like it was creeping from underneath a door that was locked and so I crept close to the door.

        "Hello... is anyone in there?" I asked.

        "Yes, hello I am so glad someone has finally noticed me!  I came into this house because my cat ran in and as I was looking for him this door slammed shut on me.  So would you please help me out and open this door because I can't do it by myself." said the girl through the door.

          I jiggled the rusty door knob when I heard the latch give in and the door opened. The girl that was inside did not look familiar. She was wearing really old fashioned clothing,  she looked like she belonged on the 1900s movie stage. Maybe she was going to a halloween party prior to getting stuck in the house. I started to introduce myself by saying.

        "Hello, I am Jules I don't seem to know you, do you attend Herbert Hoover Middle School or are you new to the neighborhood."

        "Hi I am Annabelle call me Belle for short. Yes, I am a student at Hoover, I have been living on this block for many years. I live  at 116 Waltuma Ave.  where do you live?"

I was stunned I have never seen Annabelle on this street and what is even more strange this was my home address.  I responded with a bewildered voice. 

      " You can't live at 116 Waltuma Ave.  I live there. Did you mix up streets?"

Annabelle looked straight at me and responded almost with an annoyed voice.

     "No, I told you I have been trapped here for a long time."

Suddenly a black cat brushed against my leg and meowed loudly.  I started to shake and felt that my legs were going to give in.   I could not move.  How could this be?

          

                      Fireworks By Julia Vitiello

          Kassy was planning her outfit for a forth of July party.  She was  really exited about attending, she would have a chance to meet some new friends, practically her whole school was also going. "Ring" "Ring" her phone rang, she picked it up and it was her good friend Nicole.
      "Hey Nikki what's up?" Kassy asked.
      "Ahh nothing much I just think it would be best for me to stay home instead of going to the party. Since I am new to this school I will be considered an outcast at the party, besides I have nothing to wear and nobody will want to talk to me." Nikki responded.
     "No you have to come, you will have a great chance to meet new people and maybe future friends, you have already been in this school for three months at least everyone has seen you already we will have a blast." Kassy exclaimed.       
    "Do you think so? Well maybe I will come but only if you help me decide what to wear, because I definitely do not want to look like a fool and you have great style" Nicole answered.
     "Lets see maybe you could wear that jean jacket you have with the American flag sowed to the top, under that you can  wear a red, white, or blue tank top. For your pants you could wear black leggings and then your red vans. I think you would look super cute in that outfit we could even twin!" Kassy explained.
      "Wow you really do have good style I would have never thought of an outfit so creative, I think that is a good idea and I will wear that outfit."  Nikki said.
       "Great! We do not want to be late so let's hang up and I will come and pick you up at 7:00." Kassy rushed to say.
       "Ok sounds good, see you later good bye." answered Nikki.
       Kassy started getting ready and coordinated her outfit with Nikki's outfit, they had the same jean jacket because they both were together at the mall. She wore a white tank top and blue leggings along with her jean jacket. Then she vigorously sprinkled some sparkles on his face she had spread them out on her eyes and cheeks, she was all ready. Kassy said goodbye to her mom just as Nikki pulled into her driveway she fussed out the door and hoped into the car.
      Nikki and Kassy talked about what they were going to do at the party, in minutes they pulled up on Sarah's driveway her house had streamers hanging from it and signs saying <Party in this house> the two friends walked in the door.
     They both started talking and just couldn't stop they were having a blast, everyone loved their outfits and admired them, they were the life of the party. 
      The magic hour of 9:00 was nearing and there was no fourth of July party without fire works so everyone gathered and the fireworks started blasting. "Red, White, Blue; Red, White, Blue."
     Kassy agreed with Nikki that the fireworks were the best they had ever seen, the fireworks were colorful and shimmering against the backdrop of a dark sky. The two friends had a wonderful night and made a lot of great new memories.

                                              One word I would use to describe myself.  

         One word I would use to describe myself is Energetic, I love many sports like gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and dance. I also love gym it is a good exercise and we all get to stay active while having fun. Being energetic means you're active with enthusiasm and excitement to spare. I choose this word because I always find myself a bit more "perky" than others, not that perky and energetic have a lot in common but i just think that the words can relate; I also choose this word because i am never sitting or standing still I am either tapping my foot or my spinning in circles. For example one time I was at a sleepover with four of my friends I was the last one to go to bed but the first one up, I try to be lively aware as much as I can be.
