2. How did the band come up with Avenged Sevenfold?
3. How long has he been in Avenged Sevenfold?

Matthew Charles Sanders was born on July 31st 1981 in Huntington Beach California. He is the lead singer in a band called Avenged Sevenfold. Matthew was expelled from 6 different Huntington Beach schools. He was known as “The kid who killed the principal” After the principal had a heart attack. He had a good heart but a bad attitude. He went to a private school for a year but got kicked out for smashing a woman’s windows in 6th grade. Matthew got his stage name ‘M. Shadows’ when he was attending Huntington beach school. He was the darker kid of the band; He also wanted to have part of his name so Matthew was changed to ‘M’.


Band names are one of the toughest things any group can do; the name Avenged Sevenfold is not only unique but stands for a lot. The name captures the essence. Avenged Sevenfold is based on the biblical story of Gods wrath upon killing able. It reflects who they are and what they stand for, and what they believe in.




Avenged Sevenfold was formed in the summer of 1999 in Huntington Beach California. Brian, (Synyster Gates) met the rest of the band through ‘The Rev’ Brian and the Rev met in Metal shop back in 8th grade when the rev started to make fun of Brian, but they both relived they had a love for music, So they made the band Avenged Sevenfold with Zacky, Johnny, and Matthew.
Matthew listened to a lot of punk-rock music, but got into the metal scene when his father brought him ‘Appetite for Destruction’ by Guns N’ Roses. Matthew feels strong about the troops serving the war in Iraq. Matthew sings in the band Avenged Sevenfold, but he played the Piano before he started to sing. Matthew doesn’t like to read a lot.


Matthew formed a number of bands with Rhythm Guitarist Zacky Vengeance. Matthew was in a band called ‘Successful Failure’ witch penned the song ‘streets.’ Now he is in Avenged Sevenfold with Synyster Gates on Lead Guitar, and Back-up Vocals, Zacky Vengeance, on Rhythm Guitar and back-up vocals, Johnny Christ, on Bass and back-up vocals, and The Rev on Drums, percussion, Piano and Back-up vocals. Their former members were Matt Wendt- Bass, Deamon Ash- Bass, and Justin Sane as Bass, They went through 3 Bassits to get the perfect one.


In conclusion, Matthew is a very talented singer with a good heart, but a bad attitude but he will always be a great inspiration to all. I hope he will keep his career going for as long as he can.

Forever Remembered

Forever Remembered


“Katie, i'am leaving.” Katie’s dad yelled down to her room, Katie ran upstairs to give her dad a hug.
“Bye dads see you Sunday, Love ya.” I said to my dad
Katie gave her dad a hug and watched him leave the house.
“Mom, i’am going to miss him, even though he’s only going to be gone for 2 days.” Katie told her mom.
“Me too Sweetie.” Juliana, Katie’s mom said to her.
Katie and Juliana waved to her dad, and then closed the door. Katie walked back downstairs to her room, and went on the computer, Katie called her friend Max.
Max’s sister Sarah answered.
“Hi, is Max there” I asked
“Umm no he’s at Jesse’s house.” She answered
“Okay do you know what time he will be home?” I asked her quietly.
“I think he said 5:00.” She said back.
“Okay I will call back later.” I hung up the phone.
Katie ran upstairs to go grab her cell phone. She grabbed it and texted her friend Chelsea.
“Hey, do you want to hang out today?” Katie asked her.
Chelsea texted back right away “Sure. Can you come here like right now?”
“Sure, i’am on my way.” I said
“MOM, IM GOING TO CHELSEA’S” I yelled up to my mom’s room.
“Okay but be back by 5.” Juliana yelled back.
Katie got in her car and drove to Chelsea’s house.
At 3:30 Katie got a call from her mom, it was an emergency, Katie rushed home right away. Her mom told her the news, Katie burst into tears.
“WHAT” she wailed.
Katie’s father had got in a plane crash, He had passed away.
Katie was heartbroken.
“I can’t believe it.” She said to her mom.
“Neither can I” Juliana said to her.
Katie pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, she texted Max, and said
“Max, i’am scared.”
“why” He texted back.
“Well because, umm there was a plane crash, my dad was in it.” I said as a tear drop fell on the phone.
“Oh no, is he allright?” He said.
“umm no, he, he, he died…. I wailed.
“Oh no I will be right there.”
2 hours later there was a knock on the door, Katie thought it was Max, she ran up to answer the door.
“Max.” I yelled
Surprisingly it wasn’t Max. It was Max’s mom Sierra.
“Katie I know this is hard for you, but I have some news, Well Max was on his way here, he got in a car crash, he is now in the hospital, I will take you there if you want.” Sierra wailed.
“yes take me there now, MOM max got in a car crash Sierra is going to take me to see him.” Katie cried.
“oh.” Katie’s mom ran to the door, Katie was already gone.
Sierra and Katie arrived at the hospital.
Katie ran inside, Sierra said he was in room 213. She ran to his room to see him, all of a sudden her feet stopped moving.
“Hold on, Max cannot have any visitors for at least 15 hours.” The nurse told her.
“Why not?” I asked.
“He hasn’t really gotten used too the voices, and I think he just needs some rest.” The nurse told me.

I walked out of the room, and nearly fainted, I sat on a chair and started to cry.
“Sierra, is he going to be all right?” I asked
“Hopefully sweetie.” She said. “do you want me to drive you home?”
“Sure.” I told her.
We drove home in complete silence. There was no talking not even a good bye.
I got out of the car and slowly walked up to my door, I walked in, and fell down to the ground and started to cry.
After 5 minutes I slowly stood up and walked down to my room, I fell on my bed, and went to sleep. A few hours later someone woke me up.
“Katie, Katie, wake up sweetie.” I heard a strange voice say.
I woke up to a blur.
“Where am I?” I asked.
The voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t figure it out.
“Your in the hospital, you fainted.” He said
I finally opened my eyes.
“Max!” I yelled.
He came up to my bed and hugged me.
“Well how are you feeling?” He asked.
“umm I really don’t know.” I stuttered.
“Well you just get your rest; The doctor will be here soon.” He told me.
I fell asleep.

Two days later Katie was still suffering from the pain of her father’s death. 2 weeks after he has died, they had a funeral. Katie’s dad crashed into twin towers on September 11th 2001, for now on all the people who died will be forever remembered.

Birds

Birds


This report is about birds. There were 3 questions asked. The questions were, what is a bird, why do birds fly in a V, and what are Three Types of Birds and explain each one. The first question is what is a bird.




What is a bird?


So, what is a bird you ask, well a bird is a unique animal. They are an animal with feathers, they are the only animal that can fly, not all birds can fly, Birds like Ostriches, and penguins cannot fly. They either run, walk or slide. There are about 9,700 types of birds. The fastest bird can go over 160 kilometers per hour. They use there wings like flippers.


Why do they fly in a V?

Birds fly in a V because the wind comes towards them and the bird in front cuts the find and when the front bird gets tired, it goes to the back and another bird goes to the front.


What are three types of birds and explain each.


The three types of birds this report will explain are the Puffin, the Owl, and the Penguin.


Puffin

A puffin is a cross between a penguin and a parrot. They only have a brightly coloured beak for a few months. The Puffin is a member of the Auk family and they only have 3 toes. They are fairly good fliers, and they make a lot of different sounds.


Owls.

Owls are very interesting animals, they can see in the Dark. There are 140 types of Owls, like the barn owl, the Bay owl, The Malay fish owl, the Snowy owl, and Pets fish owl, the little owl and much more. The Owl comes from all over the world. They are very cute animals, with big eyes.


The last animal I’m going to explain is the Penguin.

Penguin.

Penguins live in the Cold, and they are a flightless animal, and they cannot breathe under water. The mother penguin lays her egg on the ice, and then passes it on the father. And then the mother goes to the ocean to get food for the baby. The egg starts to crack after 2 months, but if the egg falls on the ice, the baby will die. Penguins can swim as deep as 870 feet.


Conclusion

Thank-you for reading this report and we hope you learned about birds.

From The Beginning to the End

I signed on to MSN to see if anyone was on, He shouted “Yes Julie is on!”
I opened a conversation with her, He said “Hey Hun.”
She replied back saying “Hi.”
I thought to myself, hmm she doesn’t seem very happy, I wonder what’s the matter.
I said to her, “Hey what’s the matter?”
Julie answered back right away, “Oh, nothing I just don’t feel to well I think I just need some rest.”
“Okay well do you want to hang out later?” I asked her
She answered, “Uh no I am hanging out with Brittany today, maybe tomorrow? But I got to go so I will see you later? Bye”
“Bye,” I said sadly
It said on the computer screen Julie.. <33. has signed off. Matt, also signed off. He went upstairs to get a drink, he got a text from his best friend Cory, It read “Hey dude what’s up?”
I replied back saying “nothing much but I need some advise.”
Matt got another text from Cory, it said “c’mon dude you know I don’t do advice.”
I replied back saying “I know but this is serious, I don’t know if Julie likes me anymore, she pretty much ignored me today on msn, but idk?” Matt called his friend Luke and asked if he could hang out with him tonight, he said “sure.”
So Matt got in his car and drove to Luke’s. It was 5:15 and he texted Cory and said “Hey do you want to hang out later?”
Cory texted back and it said “Uh No, I am Hanging out with Trey tonight.”
Matt texted back saying “that’s cool I guess.”
At 6:30 Matt drove around his town Saupel, to see if he could find Cory or Julie, Matt couldn’t believe what he was looking at right this second, “My girlfriend is cheating on me with my best friend, well I guess now my ex-best friend” Matt growled as he drove home.
When Matt got home, he texted Cory and said “I know your secret” Cory replied back saying “what are you talking about??”
“your dead.” Matt wrote back as he put his cell phone on the charger and got ready to go watch a movie.
When the movie was over it was 11:20, Matt still couldn’t believe that his girlfriend was cheating on him, he was furious at Julie.
“We will NEVER be friends again.” Matt said to himself as he got in to bed, Matt went to sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, he ate some breakfast and went to go phone Julie when the phone rang, it was Julie
“Hello” I said.
“Hi, what’s up?” Julie asked me.
I said to her “nothing but I have a question for you?”
“What is it?” Julie asked.
“All I have to say is, how was your date yesterday?” Matt asked her
“What are you talking about? How do you know?” Julie said with a strange voice.
“I know what you were doing yesterday and NONE of it had ANYTHING to do with hanging out with Brittany, I know your cheating on me with my BEST FRIEND, and I think this relationship can go no further, Matt hung up the phone.
Matt felt really good about breaking up with Julie.
Matt texted Cory one last time, and he said “You’re the Biggest loser is the history of EVER, I hate you and we are defiantly not friends anymore, Only my worst enemies cheat on my girlfriends.”
Cory texted back and said “ Huh, what are you talking about Julie was never cheating on you, we were only hanging out yesterday because we, ah I hate to tell you and ruin the surprise but we were planning you a surprise birthday party.”
Matt read the text and SCREAMED, “AHHH I GOT TO GO CALL JULIE!!!!!” Matt bolted down to his room to grab his phone, right away he called Julie, Julie answered “What” Julie I know you weren’t cheating on me it was my mistake I didn’t know you were planning me a surprise party, I am sorry can you forgive me” Matt asked her.
Julie said to him “I am sorry too I shouldn’t have told you a lie, can we get back together?” “YES, but you know I should go, I will call you later, I love you and I will always love you even if something like this happens again.” Julie answered back. “bye bye I love you too.”
Matt hung up the phone and was happy like he was before and he hopes he can be like this FOREVER!
