Can you start your morning without your Red Bull, Monster, Full Throttle, Rip It or countless other un named sugar and caffeine packed energy drink? Energy drinks make up a booming $3.4 billion-a-year industry that grew by 80 percent last year alone. But before you reach for that next energy drink, you might consider some facts about your favorite energy drink. Caffeine, the energy boosting ingredient in these drinks has been show to be a contributing factor of heart diease, bone loss, and elavated blood pressure. Studies also indicate that caffeine can be addictive with the primary side effet of addiction being fatigue, ironically the very symptom you are trying to eliminate. So think twice before you reach for that next energy drink.

STIs and Abstinence
STI’S and practicing Abstinence
This a public service announcement brought to you by Miller High School Students
Katie: Planned Parenthood states that, “25 million people around the world have died from HIV/Aids, and more than 40 million people are living with the virus today.” It is estimated that fifty percent of people in the US become infected with an STI at sometime in their life.
Kayla: About 340,000 people contract a disease each year. The sexually transmitted infections that are most common are: Herpes, Genital Herpes, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Genital warts, but Chlamydia is the most common of all. In one year up to 100 million people become infected with this disease.
Katie: Today you are told to protect yourself from diseases, to do so, you need to get tested regularly and protect yourself and others, but protection is not 100% effective.
Kayla: That is simply not the answer. Abstinence is the only proven 100% effective method to prevent you from getting infected!!!
Kayla & Katie: Always practice Abstinence-- the only 100% proven preventative medicine!

This is the Mushroom Factory
Welcome to the Mushroom Factory!
Caterpillar: Welcome to the Mushroom factory! What can I help you with?
Alice: Well Mr. Caterpillar what do you have?
Caterpillar: Well here in the factory we have many things such as potions, cakes, and five wonderful flavors of different kinds of mushrooms.
Alice: OH all those things sound delightful but see I have kind of a little problem.
Caterpillar: Well what’s the problem Ms. Alice? I’m sure we can find something to your liking.
Alice: All my life I have had a desire to be able to stay the same size.
Caterpillar: The same size! What do you mean the size?
Alice: Ever since I’ve been down here in this hole, I’ve had this problem of growing or shrinking constantly, and I’m sick of it
Caterpillar: Well Ms. Alice I’ll see what my cooks in the back can do for you.
Alice: Oh thank you Mr. Caterpillar!
Caterpillar: Duchess, Queen… Alice needs you to make her something that will stop her from growing and shrinking… like some of our famous squashed mushrooms.
Duchess: Oh yes, squashed mushrooms with a little of our special secret ingredient will for sure do the job! I’m just positive that this will make her stay normal FOR-EV-ER! HA HA HA!
Queen: Our secret ingredient? har har har! I’m sure she will get exactly what she wants… NORMALITY!
Duchess: Come on Queen, we had better get to work if we want to make sweet little Alice back to the perfect angel she once was.
The Queen and Duchess begin working on the squashed mushrooms to fix Alice’s problem, they should be done in a few minutes!
(DING DING!!!)
Queen: Here you are Caterpillar; tell Alice I hope she gets well soon!
Caterpillar: Thank you very much ladies. Here you go Alice, the Queen, Duchess, and I all hope that these mushrooms do the trick and you go back to your normal state! See you later, goodbye!
Alice: Thanks for your kindness Caterpillar. See you soon, but hopefully not because I’m back in here begging for more help! Goodbye.
When Alice returned home, she consumed the mushrooms and immediately became dizzy and tired, then all the sudden she heard a KLUNK! The Queen always wanted her beheaded so she added the special ingredient which made her head fall off.

A: Yum sounds good.
N: Both rabbits ate until they were stuffed then fell asleep.

Rabbit took his pocket watch out of his pocket and looked at
Rabbit – Well Ello Love!
Rabbit – How are you on this fine day?
Rabbit – (Chuckles) it’s a strange day in deed.
Rabbit – Well really more of a magical day….
Rabbit – Yes my dear, you must think outside the box, open a new door, expand your mind and see what id there, without over analyzing.
Rabbit – I am Newman, servant to a queen, lovely to meet you.
Rabbit – Yes, but let’s not get into that now, tell me a little about yourself.
Rabbit – Very lovely. Well my dear, Alice! Would you enjoy to see some more miraculous things?
Rabbit – Well take this and eat it.
Rabbit – Enjoyable. No?
Rabbit – Well my friend we must be on our way, to the land of wonder. Follow me now. I will see you at the bottom.
Rabbit – Do not be afraid, it will exceed your wildest dreams.
Alice and the Rabbit jump down the hole.
Stuck in between a hard place and a rock
Alice- Oh great way to go Alice! Do you really have to drink everything that says “Drink Me”! Now, how will I ever get out of here? Should I try to eat my way out, or should I just wait and see what happens? Oh my god! My clothes don’t even fit! My feet are huge too! Gosh, look how fat I look! How am I gonna get myself back to my normal size? Maybe I will find another bottle lying around. My goodness, it’s hot in this little house! I can’t breathe! Maybe I didn’t grow at all, perhaps everything else shrunk.
Bill- Haha! Look at Alice! How are you gonna get yourself out of this one?
Rabbit- I’ve never seen such a huge girl before, have you Bill?
Bill- Haha! I sure haven’t. Not since your mom came to Thanks Giving last year, anyways.
Alice- You two just need to shut up and figure out a way to get my huge arse out of here!
Rabbit- Since you’re such a big drinker maybe you should look for a bottle that says “Shrink Me”.
Bill- I think we should just sit out here and have a good laugh at you!
Alice- I can’t believe you guys are going to be that mean!
Rabbit- I didn’t know they made clothes that big, did you Bill?
Bill- I don’t know, maybe you should ask your mom where she shops.
Alice- Alright, no more jokes! Just get me out of here!
Rabbit- Ok, eat this.
Alice- Mmm… Cake!
Alice- oh great way to go alice! do you really have to drink everything that says "Drink me"! now, how will i ever get out of here? Should i try to eat my way out or should i just wait and see what happens? Oh my god! My cloths dont even fit! My feet are huge too! Gosh, look how fat i look!

WR: Oh Alice, Alice, I wonder why you do not talk to you, probably because I do not
Like you!
Alice: But why? Mr. Rabbit I have never done anything to you!
WR: Why in the world would I want to talk to a little, blonde, stupid girl?
Alice: I am not stupid! I am a very smart young woman! Why won’t you just give me a
Chance and talk to me?
WR: I guess because I don’t want to. Now go along and leave me alone!
Alice: Ok, then I have a question for you, a very important one too.
WR: Ugh, fine go ahead and waste my time. What is it? But hurry it up, you’ve already
Made me late, very, very late.
Alice: UGH! How rude you are!
WR: Are you going to ask the question or what? Come on little girl, I’m late, remember?
Alice: How can you be so late when you have a beautiful golden pocket watch to remind
You of what time it is?
WR: What a fantastic question Alice, I’m probably late because I forgot to check the
Time!
Alice: Stop calling me a little girl! I am nine years old, more than halfway to becoming
An adult!
WR: I will call you whatever pleases me and I am much older and more wise than you so
Don’t you talk to me about being an adult!
Alice: Ok, fine. I guess I give up on us being friends. I just wanted you to trust me
Enough so you could eventually tell me the importance of the hole that I always
See you crawling in.
WR: What makes you think I want you to know about my hole? And what makes you
Think it is very important? I guess since it is my hole, that would make me
Important too!
Alice: Yes, yes you are important. That is why I want to be your friend.
WR: Well I will consider being your friend, just give me some time to think. I better run,
I am very, very, VERY late now! Goodbye!

End Of All Ends
10/6 is the price of the hat. The mouse sleeps all the time and is mistreated by the hatter and the haire. The cook brought the pepper to court because that is what the tarts are mostly made of. The Jury were writing there names so they wouldnt forget them because they were getting so much information. The reason Alice was growing was because her dream may be ending. It is important that Alice knows nothing and unimportant that she is there. The kings pun sarcatically mentions that the aurrea never throws a fit. Rule 42 says that "All persons more than a mile high must leave the court." We do not like the book because it is really hard to understand, but we do like it because some the charecters are really cool.

Crazy Court
Reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was somewhat interesting. It was crazily creative, but since it did not make much sense I began to lose focus.
Spencer, Kayla, Tyler, Katie
The Trial
The 10/6 on the hatters hat is a price tag. The doormouse in Alices Adventures in Wonderland is not that important, hes basically sleeping all the time. Hes kind of gives some more random ideas to the story. The cook brings pepper to the court because thats what the tarts are mostly made of. The jury was having so much information told to them that they were afraid they would forget their names. Alice begins to grow larger in the courtroom because her mushrooms are wearing off and her dream is coming to an end. The king and the rabbitt argue becasue they are talking about two diffrent things of which they both think are important. The pun the king uses is that the queen never throws a fit when really thats all she ever does. Rule 42 is that on persons can be over a mile high and be on the court room. Cody thought the book was gay as hell. :) Grace enjoyed the word and picture play of it. Also the fantasy of it all. Good one. Brittnany also enjoyed the book. Overall it was a crazy weird book.
Brittany, Grace Cody, Rosie, Nikki
The 10/6 on the Hatters hat stands for the price of the hat. The price is ten shillings and six pence. The Dormouse is important because he tells Alice to move over because she is growing. The Duchess doesn't bring pepper to the court because the cook did and she brought it to the court because thats what the tarts are made of. The twelve jurors think that they will forget their names because they think its going to take that long that they will forget their names. Alice begins to grow in the courtroom because because she starts to awake. The White Rabbit and the King argue about what Alice knows about the tarts because she is a witness but yet she knows nothing. The pun the King uses he is pretty much saying that his wife is fat because he said that the words don't fit her and to us thats making fun of her weight. The rule 42 means all persons more than a mile high must leave the courtroom which is meant toward Alice because she has grown alot since the trial has begun. Our reading experience toward this book was not that great. We liked alot about the book such as the creativity of the author and how he uses unique characters. But we didn't like alot about the book as well such as how in most of the book it seems to make no since and the odd characters kind of throw you off.

The Soup and the Dance
Mock turtle soup is made of the body of a turtle and the unused parts of calves, like hooves, tails, and heads. The picture of the mock turtle in the book looks just like the discretion of the soup. The characters in the book sing most of the stories they tell thats why there is so much singing. In the lobster quadrille the lobster is the partner to all the other animals and were the ones thrown out to sea. The mock turtle was singing about soup because Alice wanted to hear a song instead of leaning more of the lobster quadrille, then the Gryphon asked the mock turtle to sing the song also. Alice did not want to be close to the duchess because she was very ugly and was exactly the right height to rest her chin on Alice's shoulder. The rhyme scheme is AABBBB, CCBBBB, DDBBBB. The lobster quadrille dance is preformed by forming two lines of seals, turtles, salmon, and so on. Then they clear all the jelly fish out of the way and advance twice with a lobster partner. After that they change lobsters and tetire in the same order. Then throw the lobsters out as far as they can to sea then swim to go get them. Turn a somersalt in the sea change lobsters again and then back to land.

Mock Turtle
In chapter nine the Mock Turtle tells a story and Alice asks what a Mock Turtle is and the queen said that its what mock turtle soup is made of. But in reality Mock Turtle soup is made of cow. More in depth its cow meat that isn't used as often such as non muscular cow meat to imitate turtle meat.
There is so much singing in this book because its a child's book and kids take to music so there is alot of singing in the book.
The lobster's role in the quadrille is that you dance with the lobsters and then throw them up in the air.
The Mock Turtle sings about soup because the gryphon asks him to.
Alice doesn't wanna be close to the Duchess because the Duchess keeps digging her chin into Alice's shoulder and the Duchess has a sharp chin.
The rhyme scheme on pages 67 and 68 are AABBBB, CCBBBB, DDBBBB.
The lobster Quadrille you start by lining up on the shore in two rows and each person has a lobster to dance with them and they advance into the sea two counts then out two counts then throw the lobster out to sea they they swim after it then they start the dance all over again.
Tracey Sams, Sean Erpelding, Cody Lund, Jeremy Gulick.

Mock Turtle soup...
The pun of the mock turtle is that it is half turtle and half calf. Mock turtle soup was a dish made in the Victorian period, which ties into the story thought the queen. The complicated pun then is both word and picture play. Mock turtle soup was made from parts of a calf that were generally discarded such as the head, hooves, tails, ect. The soup was actually imitation turtle meat, aka mock. The mock turtle in the story was just that half turtle, half calf. There is alot of singing in this book because it is a children's book. Carroll first wrote and read this book to children. The Lobsters in the quadrille served as dance partners to other animals, and were thrown out to sea. The Mock turtle sings about soup because Alice wanted to hear a song about him, and the Gryphon's wanted to hear him sing it too. Alice didn't want to be close to the duchess because she was ugly and creepy and would always rest her chin on alices shoulder. This scared alice. AABBBB

The Cat and The Hat!!!
Twinkle,,twinkle, little cat! How I wonder where you're at! Up above the tree so high, How you laugh when I walk by. Twinkle, twinkle, little cat! How I wonder where your at?
The hatter doesn't care what time it is because to him its always tea time which is why he only needs to know the day. He murdered time when he kept singing the same verse, she yelled out how he was wasting her time. Due to him wasting her time, the Queen ordered him to be beheaded. The Hatter only wears a watch that has the days of the week, because everyday for him is tea time, the days change though. The knave is the second in command. The Queen couldn't recognize the gardeners because they were face down. While the gardeners try to give an explanation, the queen ordered for them to be killed but they ran away. In their game of croquet the cards are arches, flamingos are mallets, and hedgehogs are used as balls.The cat watches over Alice to make sure she makes it through the day. The card in the picture is the Jack of Diamonds.

The Mad Tea Party.....
Twinkle Twinkle Little Fly
How I wonder how you got so high
up above the cloudless sky
I wonder how you manage to fly.
Hateful Hatter!
Twinkle, twinkle little hare, how I wonder why you stare, up above the world so high like a frizzball in the sky, twinkle, twinkle little hare how I wonder why you stare.
The Hatter wears a watch that only shows what day it is because only the day changes, not the time, it is always "tea time." The Hatter murders time because he when he messed up "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," by making it a lot longer, the Queen of hearts told him that he was murdering time. The Queen of Hearts wants the Hatter beheaded because when he was singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to the Queen and since he sang it wrong she wanted him to be beheaded. A knave is an unreliable scoundrel. Two tells the queen that she wants the Hatter beheaded. The queen couldn't recognize the gardeners because they were laying face down. Croquet is played with a pink flamingo. The red jack is the knave in the post. The role of the Cheshire is he is speaking to the queen for Alice.

The Hater wears the watch because it can put you to whatever time you wanna be in and can make you stay in that time for as long as you wanna be there. And if you wanna stay in a surtain time then why would you need to know the time.
The Hatter murders time because he moves time up or back anytime he wants and slows it down when he wants that why alice says that Hatter murders time.
The Queen wants him beheaded because he murders time.
A knave is a Jack of diamonds in the deck of cards.
Because they were laying down on their backs and they looked like all the other cards as they were laying there.
Two explains that they were painting the roses red because they were white but forgot one and the queen reacted be beheading two.
The Chichare Cat perrty much just annoys everyone and they have to go ask the duchess if they can behead him or not then when they come back the cat is gone.

The Oinkly Baby!!!
The caterpillar is smoking the hookah because it helps to depict that he is a wise person who gives good advice. Alice went through so much that she lost her memory now she remembers nothing of before. The caterpillar told Alice to recite Father William to regain her memory, after Alice left the caterpillar she tasted both sides of the mushroom to get back to her normal size again. Bill, the lizard was told by the white rabbit to go see what was in side his house. Bill found out that Alice was a giant inside his home.
The frog and the fish wore powered wigs because they were servants. The fish delivered a letter from the queen, to the frog for the duchess. Alice came out of the woods wondering what all the racket was coming from. The racket was coming from inside the duchesses house, stuff was so chaotic because the baby was upset. The duchess was singing a lullaby to calm the baby down. The duchess gave the baby to Alice to see if she could calm it down, because the mother wanted to abuse the baby for crying. Alice started running with the baby into the woods because she thought they were going to kill it. While Alice was holding the baby, it turned into a pig and ran off into the woods.
The March hare is not the White Rabbit, they live in two completely different places.

Weird Baby!!!
The caterpillar is smoking the hookah because the author wants the reader to think that the caterpillar is an very wise person. Alice says she cant remember anything because everything keeps changing and because of her size changes and things that she thinks are real aren't and things that are real she doesn't believe they are. Bill goes down the chimney because he try's to get Alice out of the rabbits house. The importance of Father William is that the caterpillar repeats a line and Alice finishes the reast of the poem. But Alice doesn't get it right. A fush and a frog are wearing powdered wigs because they are dressed in livery. The duchess starts singing because she is nursing her child. The baby plays an important role in this chapter because the duchess is causing all the drama in her house and the baby is involved in that so Alice takes the baby out of the house and in that maybe relieves all the frustration out of her house. Alice holds the pig because it was a baby before so she does not wanna put it down in case it turns back into a baby. No the March Hare is not the white rabbit. Because it wont stop crying.
