GANGSTA VERSION OF THE 3 LITTLE PIGS At first there was 4 little pigs, they were all brothers. The oldest Hammy was the leader of their gang the Porkchops.

With nine studio albums and twenty-five mixtapes, all eyes are on Lil Wayne to see what is bound to come next. Wayne is my favorite choice as a “National Living Treasure” because when people listen and hear what Wayne is speaking about in his songs, they become inspired and motivated. For example, If Lil Wayne talked positively about President Obama in a song, I believe his polls would increase just because the rapper is that influential over his fans. If put to good use I think Wayne could become a very inspirational and motivational speaker, who catches the attention of millions of people. With his most recent album, The Carter IV, selling over three million copies in only five months; all he has to do is say something negative or positive about someone and all of his fans automatically have the same opinion.
He knew a lot about the job. On the way, they met a big bad grey wolf and he, in his cunning and fake kind voice, asked: “Good morning, little pigs. What are you three going to do on such a bright day?” Having not known about wolves in their lives, they all shouted merrily that they each wanted to build their own house. The wolf, who had not eaten for a long time and with the want of eating, tricked the pigs by telling them that he owned a land near which was in fact owned by the richest person of the country. He asked them to follow him and he would show them.
Also, when the animals question them, the pigs change the commandments in their favor. Then when the farm doesn’t remember that particular commandments as they are, they are blamed for their “faulty memories.” On page 80 Napoleon is questioned, and Squealer steps in to state that there weren’t problems, and that what the pigs were doing is okay. “You did not suppose, surely, that there was a rule against beds? ... A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention.” The pigs have clearly changed the commandments, for their comfort in this situation, and now have more peaceful resting areas because they could certainly not be “too tired to carry out their duties.” The pigs do use other tactics to get what they want; though changing rules was the most common.
This helps Odysseus. Circe helps Odysseus by entertaining him and his men for a year. This was helpful because they did not have any food and needed a place to stay. However, initially she hindered him by turning his men into pigs and treating them badly. She also helps them by warning them in advance about all the dangers they would have to face before reaching back to Ithaca.
Wiesel tells his story in the first person, which allows the audience to understand his thoughts and emotions greater, as we experience the novel through him. This is evident when Wiesel “felt guilty” for thinking that he “ought to be having two rations of bread, two rations of soup,” instead of just one when his father is dying of dysentery. In Maus, however, such emotions would not be evident unless explicitly stated by Vladek in the story (Wiesel 105). Vladek recalls himself irritating a cut in an attempt to go the the infirmary, where the conditions were significantly better than in the work camp, and claims he “got afraid for [his] hand and let it heal” (Spiegelman 252). If it were not for this direct statement, it would be difficult for the audience to understand what Vladek is thinking.
So I was a good boy from there on. I would always do my homework first thing after school and eat all of my vegetables at dinner. However I was always scared that the Boogeyman would one night just come up and take me away forever. So I made sure that I was extra good, I was going to flourish and become a better person. I noticed something bizarre though, that the more things I did to impress my mom, the more things she said about the Boogeyman.
