The Ups and Downs of Fear

by Briyith

Is fear a good thing or bad? Most people think fear sucks because they don't want to be afraid of anything. Even tho fear might suck were going to have to deal with it. It might I think that fear is a good thing because it turns you into a better person.

Fear is a good thing because it makes you become a better person. It helps you through tough times. Also it can also can help you build up confidence. Even tho fear sucks you try to not be afaid of something and try your best to fight it off. Thats why fear is a good thing and it can build up your conficence

Fear is a bad thing because life wouldn't be the safe. There would just be a disaster because people wouldn't care. For example If you wanted to bungie jump you wouldnt be scared to get hurt or to even be safe. They would think of anything and just do it without being secure. If there wasnt fear you would be dead.

How to Make Tamales

by Evelyn

Ever wanted to make Traditional Mexican Food? Tamales are a classic mexican food. They're easy to make. They take a while to make. You have to be very patient if you want to make Tamales. Mexicans tend to make more than one Tamale because they either have a party or they sell them. It's a true tradition within our culture, oftentimes during Christmastime.

First of all if your going to make tamales you need dough or masa. The ones they sell at Mexican themed stores work really well. Next, you prepare the meat. You need pork meat and these ingredients: salt, onion, garlic, peppercorns and oregano. Once it starts to boil it's ready. You next get the fillings you want. Vegetables or sauce are what you can have in your tamale. Set your tamale ingredients on the table.

Next, you need the corn husks. The weak sides of the corn husk you rip off into little strips. Grab the whole corn husk and rub dough all over the husk. After you've finished that you need two spoonfulls of the pork meat. The fillings go next. Grab the fillings and put them on the meat.

After you have everything in the Tamale you tie it. The reason you tie it, is because so the insides won't fall out. The way you tie it is , you roll it up and then the two ends you tie them with the strips of corn husks. Make a knot and make sure its secure. Put them in the pot once your finished. Their done when the dough doesnt stick to the corn husk.

Tamales are easy to make but they take a while. They're really good and they don't use that many ingredients. They're easy to make and easy to eat. Tamales are great for holidays and for partys. They are Mexicans favorite treat. Tamales are DELICIOUS and a TRADITIONAL meal.
