My Favorite Movie

Dang whats my favorite movie? Its going to have to be Thirteen. There's this girl named Tracy that is thirteen and she is a new girl at school. There's this girl named Evie she's popular, rich, and gets all the guys in her school. Tracy and Evie bump into each other gives complements to each other and Eviee gives her number to Tracy. They both meet up start doing drugs, sex, and getting themselves in trouble when they start hanging out. I love this movie because when I was thirteen I started meeting guys hooking up with them doing drugs, all that stuff that could get me in trouble. Ya drugs are fun to people that first start them to be cool and hang in the wrong crowd but they think it is right to do all these things and keep on going. I used to hate my family until I got counseling and starting to respect my parents and my siblings. It's a bad impression for your siblings to see you scream at your parents and fight constantly. That is what Tracy did everyday to her older brother, and her mother that is divorced, so that puts even more stress on her life because her father is living far away and only visits on Holidays.

Defintion of Freedom

Freedom is a privilege in my house, but you still get told what to do and not to do. If I am going somewhere to go chill with a friend or go shopping I just have to give one of my parents a call and let them know what I am going to be doing. I do get more freedom then some of my friends like they have to go straight home after school and do homework. I used to do that when I went to a regular school, but now since I am going to this school. I don't need to worry about homework that is the good part.

Review of: Free Rice to people that are hungry

I read and played a game that is called Free Rice. The main point in that game was each question you get right, they donate ten grams of rice through the UN (United Nation) World food program to help end hunger. You look at a word that comes up in bold letters and it is multipule choice. Click on an answer that you think the word means it. The rice that you donate makes a huge difference to the person that receives it. About 25,000 people die each year from hunger, most of them are children. Free rice has enough rice to feed millions of people since it started in October 2007.

Description complete paragraph

My bedroom is relaxing, quiet, and fun. You walk in and first you walk down these three steps and you see my stuff that I have placed in my room.Then you see my queen size bed. Second, you see my younger sisters side where her bed is and her stuff that she likes. Right next to my bed I have three mirrors. I like mirrors because I like to get ready in my bedroom. Once you lay down on my bed you will see stick on stars on my ceiling an attic door. People always ask "What does that door lead to?" I have only brought a couple of friends up in the attic. Some of my friends were curious what was up there. All I told them was that there is a lot of old stuff up there.

Barbie Dolls

Barbie dolls ey? My opinion is that they are just like an ordinary doll except with body parts. It doesn't matter if a kid asks "what are these round things on my doll mommy"? The little kid is going to get told later down the road what they are because kids always ask the weirdest questions. I was like that when I was a little girl: always asking my mommy about what I didn't know.

Where people come up with their beliefs?

Hmm where do people come up with their beliefs? My answer is that they can come up with their own beliefs. But sometims other people tell others about their beliefs and people go along what they do. Because some people don't have what others have and that could become jealous.

Newspaper Article

Main idea: The main point in the newspaper article is that ten people got into a fight over who knows-what. Police came and people started to walk away from the situation.

Opinion: I think that people are dumb these days it comes to gang related fights, stealing stuff from other people, fighting over know one knows. People just don't use their heads and instead they use their fists instead of words. But I have got into a couple fights with girls and one guy. Girls tell the B**** to shut up and then they fight. but then it just ends with beat the S*** out of each other. I think this article was dumb and ridiculous because people don't think before what they do I am a lover NOT a fighter so I try to solve it with words. I just hope that none of my siblings have to go through what I have done in my past days

Assignment when I was absent

Main idea: Mr. Tony Hawk has been a skateboarder most of his life, he got his first skateboard when he was nine years old. Nine years later he became pro and the number one skateboarder. Some of his accomplishments include being stalked by the media and produced many video games. I have played his video games before, they are really fun and very exciting, they're practically addicting.

Response: When He said "I believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large", that really caught my eye. People need to believe in what others tell them and take pride in what you do each and everyday.

Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

Summary: It first started when Cole lived in Minnesota. He went to a high school and he got snitched on by a kid named Peter Driscal. He got picked on from Cole many times just for the fun of it. Cole caught Peter in a corner and said "Your a dead man." After school Cole caught Peter outside in the parking lot. Cole attacked Peter and started hitting him hard in the face with his bare fists. Peter tried to escape out of it and walk away to be the better person. Cole jumped Peter and started smashing his head against the sidewalk. Cole had six other people pull him off of Peter to tell him "Chill out dude your killing him." Cole stopped, looked at Peter to see the damage that Cole had done to Peter's face, then he spit on him and said, "Nobody crosses Cole Matthews and gets away with it."
Opinion: Why did Cole beat up Peter? It was because Cole vandalized and broke into an abandoned house. Cole went to school the next day and bragged about what he had done that weekend. It got to Peter and he went straight to the principle and snitched on Cole. That's how Peter got put in the hospital by Cole Matthews.
Recomdation: If a student asked me "Is this a great book to read on my leavel"? I would defintely say yes of course. I loved his book it was like an adventure and wait for the day to go by and come back to class, then read more pages and find out what happens. I know I already read this book but I would read this on my alone time. The book was a little tricky at the begining because it took you back in Cole's past time in his life, but then it was awesome words can't explain it you just have to read it and enjoy it.
