End of The School Year

     The end of the year is here only four and a half more days. This is the best part about the school year. We went to Six Flags on a cold and rainy day, but it was still fun. Then we had a dinner dance which was probably the best thing even better than Six Flags. It's hard to comprehend you would have to be there to understand. There was a DJ playing all these songs everyone was dancing even I was dancing at one point. I don't usually, but it's a party you should enjoy it. It was amazing probably one of the best dances ever!

Middle School Get Me Out of Here Book Blog

     "Middle School Get Me Out of Here" is the second book of the Middle School series. It is about a boy named Rafe Khatchadorian, who is finally going into seventh grade. After moving in with his grandma in the big city. Since he got accepted into an art school. He finds that the school is really hard and they don't tolerate bad kids. So what he does is start this new game called operation "Get A Life". What the game is, is him trying to be a good kid like every other kid in his school or atleast him not getting expelled. As he lives with his grandma he finds secrets about his father that he's never known. So also throughout the book he finds clues to try and find his dad.
     I thought "Middle School Get Me Out of Here" was a good book. Better than the first book. I say this because the plot was totally different and since we live in sort of a suburban area. So I could relate to some of the things Rafe saw in the book. Then it was interesting to see Rafe face some of his problems in the book with his new friend. To overcome or atleast take over the bullies. Then there were parts that really pulled you in with. Which I thought made the book even better. Like how Rafe found his uncle that leads to help him find his dad. Then some of the people he meet aren't the most reliable for Rafe. On a scale of one through ten I'll give it a 9.5 since I liked it a lot.

Some of My Most Valuable People

      One thing That matters the most to me is family. They are your support when you're feeling low. They know how to make you happy. When we fight we push it aside, because family don't hold grudges. They're the people you should always open up to, not hide and lie from them. They matter the most to me because we love each other and we support each other when times are tuff. Financially, physically, and emotionally. Theists plays a huge part with us. If there's a problem for one person. Then we help them by getting rid of the problem or showing other ways to fix it. Without family life would be hard you can't rely on no one. Maybe some people, but others it might be difficult. Another reason family matters is because we develop ideas together. What I mean by this is, since I'm the oldest my parents tell me life knowledge first. Then when my siblings need help I teach them these things about life so they are prepared. Even though sometimes they just ignore it, but they eventually end up using it. So have I.

I Want To Break My Future Boundaries

     There are only certain things that really scare me. Some of which are spiders, the ocean, and heights. Why out of all the things that are scary? I don't know, but what I do know are some of the things I can do in the future to try and help me get over these fears. For my fear of spiders I don't really know a way to get over them by probably is by getting a pet tarantula. Then I would progress with it, what I mean is hold it or crawling on my arms. Then to get over my fear of the ocean I would go scuba diving. With people so I know what to do. Finally to get over my fear of heights I was thinking maybe I go skydiving. Not only would it mortify me, but would also be heart pumping. Those are some of the things that scare me and some things I would do to get over it.

I'm Going To Have the Best Summer

     What I'm going to do this summer is going to be the best thing I will probably ever do, but since I can write on and on I'm going to have to summarize. This summer I'm going to Maryland and Florida. I'm going to Maryland to see my cousins, it's awesome they have a huge house. We swim, play football, and go in the woods when it's dark out and scare each other. It's going to be awesome because it's nice to see them and just talk and see them after a year of not seeing them. Then I'm going to Florida to see my grandparents. Which they have a pool also, and they got a new dog. Then something that I do when I go there is me and my cousin ride a two person bike which we go down the shore and ride five miles to see the view. It's so beautiful. Then all summer I'm going to be in football.

School Is Finally Over and I Feel Great!

     This month is the last month of me coming to this school since I'm graduating. My automatic reaction is I'm so happy. Even though this is my final month I've never felt so good. I say this because summer is coming and I don't have to learn for two months. Then I can't wait for high school I'm going to join the Mustangs for football. Then maybe wrestling, but summer is going to be awesome because I'm going to Maryland to see my cousins. Then Florida to see my grandparents. This will be fun because they have a pool and they live literally a block away from the beach. Which is always fun because there's always crabs and dolphins.

Ghost Hawk Book Blog

     Ghost Hawk by Sarah Cooper, is about a boy named little hawk who is a Native American. To become a man he has to survive in a forest for four months. He ends up surviving, but when he goes back to his village it's covered in ashes and smoke because white men had attacked them and killed everyone. Which then he tries to distinguish a way to stop more from coming. So he basically is teaming up with other tribes to help do something.

     My personal opinion is that Ghost Hawk is a good book. I like how they turned a realistic piece of history into a story. Although they still used realistic facts. I really like how they did this part of the story. Another thing I found cool was how they make you think it was going to be him in the forest the whole story, but it act goes to other things. The only one thing I didn't like was how they had the story in parts and some where more in the future or in the past I felt as if they make you confused.  Although I really liked the book.

Why Spring Break Is Awesome

     Spring is one of my favorite seasons. It is like the realization that summer is coming. I love the wheather many people think it's too hot they rather it be winter again. Which becomes a controversial topic, but spring is cool because of the weather. You walk outside you see the sun shining, the birds chirping, and the bees buzzing. The only thing I hate about spring is the spiders. I have arachnophobia and in my house and garage there are spider webs. I tell my mom we need spider propellant, but she says they're good, which I disagree about. Another thing I like about spring is getting to be with my cousins and friends. Escpecially this year because me and my friends are about to be playing football and basketball.

What is Positive Change, How Can It Help?

     Positive change to me, means something bad being turned or changed into something good. I feel like positive change could be for example. Bullying/ cyber bullying rates have gone down. Something that has an impact on the world or in our communities. Empowering others means giving someone the privilege or power to do something. When I hear empowering I think of the president and anyone in congress. I say this because they have the authority to do what they want, just not all the time. When I hear the word activism I think of being active and productive. Activism is someone taking action to change something politically or socially. So you can acknowledge the importance of what you want to change.

Life Is Beautiful

     Some similarities between Life is Beautiful and some of the things we read in ELA is that they had camps where many Jews and other types of people went that the Germans didn't like or thought weren't Arian enough. They both had too take trains and were starved for days. They made the men do hard labor and if they couldn't they would be killed. Then after people died in the gas chambers they had to fold all the clothes. Plus old people and children were killed since they couldn't work making them very vulnerable. Families were split up from one another. People resisted especially the main character in life is beautiful he was hiding his kid and sneaked food for his son. Finally is that Germans weren't allowed to talk with Jews. Which in the movie the German doctor couldn't talk to the main character so he had to find ways to talk to his friend before the camp. Some differences about the movie from real life is you couldn't walk around the camp freely. Also the little boy couldn't sit with the German kids since he was dirty and most likely smelled the guards would've known he was a Jew. Another situation that was different was the main character was hiding his son Joshua. This was most likely impossible since guards would go in their rooms to do checks and he hid his son the whole time.

     Mostly the Holocaust was sad especially in the camps. Some things that were similar from the movie that were sad was when they went from the outside to the inside city to inside the camps. You can see how there were people starving. Children and old people dying. Another similar thing that goes with the sad mood was when Guido was carrying Joshua to leave and half way he saw all the dead bodies piled up. Some different moods you wouldn't end up seeing was in the movie also. Some difference in points of veiw. Was Guido and his family, he lied to his kid in a funny way to make sure he wasn't scared. Another was when Guido would do his funny actions especially when he would try to run from the Germans and hid on the wall. He did things happily knowing things were serious.

     Life is shown as beautiful in many ways throughout the film. One of the ways Life is shown as beautiful is when Guido meets this girl and wants to marry her which he ends up doing. Then has kid and gets to own his bookstore which he had to wait a while. This is one aspect of life being beautiful because it's not everyday that you can just say you want something and get to have or do it. Which he ends up doing. Another aspect of life being beautiful is when Guido sacrificed himself. To help hide his son and keep him safe. I think this is an aspect of life being beautiful because this father loves his family so much. That he would die to help keep his son alive which he did do. Which shows how beautiful life is.
