last Coming of age

     the book that i finally Sunrise over Fallujah is mainly the same as real life.

     the main character and his friends discover things that didn't happen before they wen to the army. Robbin had bad memories like seeing a child die he was always trying to get that out of his mind. He had friends that he couldn't trust but ended up trusting them at the end. Although being in the army was sometimes fun he always worried if something bad was going to happen, whether if his friends would turn on him or people would attack the force. He always wrote to his uncle just in case something went wrong or he if he needed tips
   
     This book taught me that if i  ever want to serve my country think twice before how you want to serve it. It could be being an marine bomb diffuser or helping to cure chemical diseases. you should also think twice because just like Robbin seeing a kid or close friend die could change you.

Coming of age blog 2

In the book I'm reading sunrise over Fallujah my character just witnessed a little boy die.

My character was shocked he kept on wondering why the little boy kept on running he also asked himself why his partner killed him. He tried to get past the fact that he was dead and block it by telling himself that the boy was probably a boy that hated and wanted to kill americans. He looked at his team and saw that all of their hands were shaking in shock wishing that it never happened.

I think that when people want to go to the army they forget about things like kid dieing. Also when they see it they get shocked and don't want to stay no more cause there scared that the same thing might happen to them. That's why if you want to join the army navy or be a cop think hard think about how you might be putting yourself in danger.

comming of age post #1

      The comming of age book I chose is written by Walter Dean Myers called Sunrise over Fallujah.

      So far the book is about a man named Robin who is in the army.  His best friend Jonesy is in the army with him.  Everytime Robin goes to a new place he always get jumpy and nervous because he didn't know what was going to happen while he was there.  He wants to be in the action but at the same time he don't want to be in it.  The people in his unit are Major Spring Session, Captain Coles, Captain Robert Harris, from Dixx Hills, New York,Corporal Charlie Jones from Stone Mountain, Georgia and Corporal Eddie Evans from Stormville, New York.

      Pvt. Robin Perry is learning the bssics about Operation Iraqi.  There are four phases Iraqi to the operation.  The first phase is to understand and make an assessment of the area, the second phase is the preparation of the battlefield, which means bombing the enemy, the third phase is to forcefully remove the present regime in Iraq and neutralize their weapons, the fourth and final phase is the building of a successful democracy in Iraq.

      At Camp Doha in Kuwait, there was always this one person that stood out from the rest of the people in his unit.  Her name was Marla.  Robin didn't really know if he could trust her because she always picked on by making jokes about him.  Robin's unit had to decide who was going to be riding in the humvee with him.  He chose Jonesy and Cpt. Coles but while he was deciding on the last person Marla jumped in.
     

1       My two favorite blogs are Gabe's and Oscars Gabe's on pythons and Oscar's on plagiarizing.

      I like Gabe's because I also think pythons are dangerous and people don't understand the damage they can do when they grow up instead of throwing them in the wild they could give them to a reptile zoo are so. I thought that Oscar's blog on plagiarizing because you could go to jail or worst for it and he's right if your going to copy it cite the web site and who wrote it, just write about the topic in your own words differeent.

      I think that i could improve on writing longer paragraphs and including beater details on my blogs. I think i could do what oscar did and write in seperate paragraphs like making body paragraphs. and last i think i could do like gabe and write all the posabilities of what would happen or might happen.

2     M.S. Galang is right allot of teachers are right they do reconize plagiarizing. They can eseacially reconize it if you write like an child and when you write sophisticated. He/ she could've wrote the source at the bottom of the page near the article. there are three ways to avoid plagiarism is for one don't think about copying something of the computer the teachers will find it. Second always write the web site you fond the information or write the person you got the info from. The last way to stop plagiarasm is to do your own work if you have a hard time ask a teacher for help.


     

Much ado about nothing

      I thought Much ado about nothing was funny and interesting play. the play had some funny parts that kept me interested in it and even though there was some funny parts they kept it serious so there could be some sad and some important parts too. the parts that I liked was when the detective's came out.During the play a part that I didn't like was the beginning of the play when they were being introduced. lastly I thought that when the people tried to frame the mans daughter made it more interesting.

Act 4

      Act 4 in Romeo and Juliet we meet a new character Friar Lawrence, in scene 1 Juliet is kinda wondering if she should or shouldn't marry Paris but Friar is helping her with her decisions. Scene 2 is about when Capulet and lady Capulet are talking about a party the next day, to get 10 cheifs that are good ornaments and what they should wear, Juliet and Nurse enters and Juliets talk to her mother saying that ive sined and lady Capulet says how instead of the party your going to church. Scene 3 Juliet tells how she feel to meet god the next day and she takes a vial thats supposed to help her but she probaly thinks that Friar got to it and poisoned it. Scene 4 when Capulet make sure that the food is alright and they talk to Paris Nurse wakes Juliet and trims her. Scene 5 Nurse tryies to wake Juliet but she thinks shes dead then she calls everyone else and they all try to wake her but she don't wake up. 

Romeo & Juliet

      From act 1 scene 1 in Romeo & Juliet  It really shared allot of info on it with how all the characters act and how they care for or hate the others around them. like with Gregory and Sampson they were the first two characters in the book and it showed that they are two servants for the Capuletsand they want to kill the Mountagues and rape women. Tybalt is a mean man who really wants to kill Benvolio, Benvolio is Romeos cousin and he really care for his family but he still can fight if he needs to. Lady Capulet is Juliets mother who wants Juliet to marry Tybalt, the Nurse Is like a second mom to juliet and she really care for Juliet. And last Abram is the Mountagues servant who fights Gregory and Sampson.

Comment

      I like Gabe Blog on Stephen because he really goes into detail about it and the different parts that liked/ popped out. Like in his second paragraph he noticed that the first stanza really caught his attention. It says I see a little boy of four or five whose face lights up whenever we would play who made me feel its great to be alive and wish that time would never tick away. he really put allot of thought and meaning in his opinion of Stephen.
      
      I also like Santi comment on another sonnet for Stephen because he also put what he really thought the story was about to him. he also put who he think the point of view is from andb how it compared to the others.

Sonnet The Heats

Miami Heats can defeat any team

They're only fourteen & Six but they rule

When the Heat rivals play them the get creamed

When the Heats beat them it is very cruel

They only lost Six games but their still good

Their still good players even though they lose

When they win they give stuff back to their hood

Every new game they are the ones to choose

Dwayne Wade is my favorite player

Leborn James has the most points on the team

When he score it keeps going up like layers

If they lose to the Bull's it's just a dream

Cross over spin offs layups give you're all

The Miami team Heats will never fall

Leonardo da Vinci

     Leonardo DA Vinci was born in a small Italian town of Vinci in 1452. when DA Vinci was little he started drawing pictures of insects, plants, flowers, animals, and birds. Leonardo lived during a time when people in Europe were becoming interested in art. Leonardo was not only a great artist but he was also good at being an Architect, Musician, Sculptor, Scientist, Inventor And in Mathematician. Leonardo wrote his notes and plains backwards so that no one could steal his secrets. He studied nature so that he can use them in his paintings and make them realistic like the picture The Virgin of the Rock.

      The photo that I Chose was The Virgin of the Rock. I chose it because its very descriptive and it has a lot of meaning to it. the picture has rocks surrounding it on the outside and its like it could close in on them. In the picture it shows two women and two baby's and they all have halos except for one who has angel wings. In the back of the picture it has mountains and steam the steam makes it look like its a waterfall. One of the baby's have a golden cross in between his arms and hes on his knees with his hands touching like hes praying. the last detail that's in the picture are the flowers that's every where even on the mountains/rocks.

      I think porsanally that the picture stickes out because Leonardo made it so reallistic and peaceful. I also think that the halos angel wings and the golden cross helps it look so peaceful and magical. The river & the moutains help it look secretive like no one else knows about it. The flowers and the cloths that their wearing make it decorative.

comment

    I like how Gabe had lots of questions to why Jason wanted to save Hera a Greek god. It also kind of connects to my story of self confidence on his journey to save her cause I think he Knows how tough its going to be to save her.

      I also like Sainties story because it was so detailed and he wrote allot about it, it was a  good writing piece.

Self Conffidence

      In the book The Cat Ate MY Gym Suit a girl named Marcy Lewis tries her best to get the best teacher she ever back working at her school because the principal fired her for not saying the pledge.

      Marcy tries her hardest to get her favorite ELA teacher she ever had MS, Finney back. Ms, Finney taught Marcy allot she also helped her make friends in a after school program she created named smedley. To get Ms, Finney back Marcy forms a group that also wants Ms, Finney back and they only have less thane a week to prepare and have a plain to get the teacher back. they have meetings at friends houses and everything but one kid at the school who didn't like Ms, Finney told the principal that Marcy and three other people were the leaders to get Ms, Finney back. Marcy and her three friends Joel Anderson Robert Alexander and Nancy Sheridan were called to the principals office. ll of their parents were there including Marcy's Mom. principal stone was telling the parents that your children are the leaders in a group to get back a teacher who was fired and multiple times I told them they she wasn't coming back but they keep on going on making plains. All the parents except for Roberts Mom was angry about what's going on every body else was glad that their kids were standing up for what they believed in. there for the principal suspended them for ten days no make up for the days they missed and it was going in their records. 

      this part of the story really shows how Marcy has self confidence and stand up for what she think is right no matter the consequences even if she got suspended. To me self confidence is really what Marcy did and stand up for what you believe in no matter what. People can have self confidence in anything it could be during a job, protests pretty much anything. You can be a desprite citizen that have bad people in your neighborhood and your scard to go near them even scard to be in the same building as them so you try to get them locked up for something they did even though they treaten you, you still have self confidence to lock them up.

never leave friends behind

      In the book the outside shot one of the characters Juice get stuck in a music store because their was this contest that he wanted to win, To win he had to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar.

      Lonnie finally went to sleep from a party he had when one of his roommate came in and woke him up telling him that Juice got stuck in a music store. At the party Lonnie was drinking so he was drunk so didn't know half the words he was saying. But Sly his roommate got him up and brought him to the store. when they got their Sly had an idea to carrie him through the transom but Sly was to weak to pull him. Since he couldn't pull him Lonnie tried he had enough strength to pull him but the cops pulled the curve and he lost his grip that's when Sly helped finally he got out. that's when they started to run Lonnie couldn't out run them because he was still drunk so they caught him Sly and Juice ran back to help him but two other cops came up behind them and arrested.

      In that part of the story it really showed their friendship and how they wouldn't leave  Lonnie and let him get arrested for something he didn't do.

     

Distractions

      The book the outside shot is about a college student named Lonnie Jackson who leaves Harlem to take a basketball scholarship.
    
      when Lonnie left Harlem for the basketball scholar he knew he would have to keep his head straight and have a clean record. with the pressure of his tough classes and high stakes basketball he has one year to manage college and pull trough. Lonnie tries his hardest to focus on basketball and practice when ever he can so he can go pro while trying to keep his grades up to play basketball. on his journey to the pros he meets a girl named Sherry Jewett in his history class.

      one thing that really sucks are distractions. it sucks because when your trying to achieve your life goals rather its a dream job, or dream school. distractions can be school a relationship job or pregnancy. The most important distraction can be a death from someone in your family or friends. A big distraction for me is school its hard  tough to long and its to much work.
