TexasChainsaw True or Fake?

The texas chainsaw is not real but, there is sombody that is real in the story his name is Ed Gein here is some info i found about him.




Ed Gein is probably one of the most famous serial killers, though his known victims only numbered two. Yet it was his extra-curricular activities that launched several movies and many books.
Gein was born in Plainfield, Wisconsin, in 1906 to an alcoholic father and a domineering, god-fearing mother. A shy, lonely boy, Gein grew to be a shy, lonely, reclusive man. When Eddie was in his late twenties, his father died and Ed and his brother Henry took over the work on the family farm. Both boys remained bachelors their entire lives due to their mother's incessant rantings; women would never return their love and only their mother would ever truly care for them.
The farm was not at all profitable, it was a hard life for Ed Gein and things began to slip away when his brother Henry died fighting a brush fire. Mrs. Gein endured an incapacitating stroke in 1944, and Ed nursed her for a year before a second attack took her life in December 1945.
Ed Gein was alone for the first time, at the age of 39. In his solitude, Gein began to withdraw from society and reality. He started reading medical and anatomical texts and developed an interest in the female body for the first time in his life. His life became more and more bizarre as he left reality behind altogether. A Government subsidy he received was enough for him to stop working on the farm, but he performed some odd jobs for those around Plainfield, if needed. While many residents of Plainfield thought him to be a little odd, they figured he was just a lonely eccentric. Little did they know his solitude had changed this lonely loner into a full fledged maniac.

College Visit

On Oct. 17, 2006 the juniors and seniors from our school went to visit the community college in Walla Walla. The ,trip was to let us now about possible college opportunities.

The trip to the community college took at least an hour to get there. When we arrived, we had the choice of picking the classes that we where interested in.

The class I picked was Auto
Mechanics. The class lasted about two hours, When we got to the classroom, the teacher paired us up with the students who go to the class, and they explained what they do in the class. They mostly fix their own cars, and also fix there class race car for their annaul race. The class is mostly a hands on class; the students use computers to help them fix the, cars problem.

Then after the class the juniors and seniors ate at the schools cafeteria. The college cooking class make us lunch. The food they made for us was Frybread, Salmon, and Some Vegetables. After the lunch our school watched a movie, which was about indian arts. The movie lasted about an hour, After the movie we left the communtty college.

My thoughts on the trip was it was kinda boring because I didnt do what I wanted to do, and the food there was dry, The movie was alright.

Respect is Valuable

Nixyaawii Community students have come a long way to showing respect. Everyone must give respect to give respect. Respect should be shown to everyone, especially yourself.

There are many ways to show respect. Respect is shown by listening, not interupting when teachers are talking, helping students and teachers with their problems, or be nice to teachers and students by talking to them, or give them compliments.

I see respect shown at school when people show up on time, give compliments to teachers and students, do their homework, and listen to teachers.

Here`s where we can continue to improve: show up on time, don`t talk when teachers are talking, dont vandalize in there class room, and no cursing.

There are many ways to show respect. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. This is a great school. Let's show respect to our teachers and students.
