Payten's Blog

By Payten Ehredt There are about 20.3 million veterans in our nation, and all deserve the utmost respect, no matter what role they have committed to. Think about it, they were willing to sacrifice their very life and well-being to defend their country. And depending on their role, went from just another civilian to a trained killer for us all, and even if they survived, they could come back to civilization as a different person. The aftermath of being in the service could break their very mind and body. The memories brought back never being able to erase. They’ve sacrificed precious time with their families and risked never coming home to those they care for and love most. And if all that doesn’t deserve respect, I don’t know what will. They help represent our country. Although they still do this much for all of us, surprisingly some people don’t feel the same way. Including veterans themselves even. And yes, we should respect peoples’ opinions, but it wouldn’t be right if they w...

Here are the three pictures I chose to be shown. I selected the first one because it looks pretty and fits with the rest of the pictures chosen because of the nature element. I picked the second one because the flowers would only last so long that year and I thought I would take a picture when it was like this, and it was put on the list because it fit with the others and one of the pretty flower pictures I have. I placed the third one on this list because it was one of the pictures we took when we were walking around Chadwick, and that one probably turned out the best in my opinion.

I learned that you don't have to pay to have copyright over your work. That is a pretty nice thing because your free to have rights over your own stuff. I was thinking it was like, one of many companies you can go to to get your stuff protected for money. But this is way better. I also didn't think that most things are not free to use, because I see people posting google pictures and using them as profile pictures a lot. Anyways, I don't think I'll be using google as a default browser when it comes for finding and using photos again.

We have been working with run-on sentences, and different ways to avoid writing them. Our teacher asked us to create three different memes; each containing a sentence that shows a different way to avoid run-ons. Each meme's sentence must connect to the meme. The memes below were created by makeameme.org

My name is Payten. If you need any information about me, here are some things to know. My interests are horror movies and or phenomenon, the paranormal, and art. In my free time, I usually draw digitally or traditionally, eat snacks, listen to grunge/metal/rock/punk rock music because death metal or real heavy metal you can’t even really understand and is usually too loud. I also enjoy laying down on my bed, away from my noisy and irritating brother downstairs, which sometimes gets me in trouble for being upstairs alone a lot. My talents are making art and martial arts.   Things that makes me curious is how to draw autonomy properly, and even though I am quiet and not really a people person, sometimes the ways people act and or react to things make me think hard on how and why they behave that way, whether it be good or bad or possibly inaccurate or not. Someday, being an at home artist would be nice. Maybe even being a character designer would be fun too. I’m not too sure wh...
