Butterfly poem

My butterfly project for “I never saw a butterfly” is based off the poem called “Terezin”. My butterfly is different on each side so that’s why there are 2 pictures. The poem is about a person who is stuck in a concentration camp called “terezin”. The person tells there point of view about terezin and what they see.

“Life beautiful” review (spoilers ahead)

      In ELA, we watched a movie called “life is beautiful”. This is a holocaust movie but it does have some surprises. This movie is about an Italian-Jewish man Guido, who lives in Italy of course, and is living his life Normal. He has a wife who loves him and one kid. But he was alive during the Holocaust, which was basically a time where those who didn’t contribute or who were out of norm, were killed. Guido and his son were taken into one concentration camp and since his wife wasn’t Jewish, she wasn’t taken. But she still went because she told the Nazis she wanted to. So they all work (except the kid) and work. Guidos kid however, doesn’t know anything about the Holocaust. So the dad just lies to him, telling him it’s all just a game he made for his birthday. That the winner must gain 1000 to win a tank, a real one. Over all the movie is really good and gets you asking a a lot of questions. If you intend on seeing, it’s on netlflix.

My excitements for 4th quarter

I’m excited for so many things in 4th quarter. But some of them are six flags, boat cruise, and graduating. I’m excited for six flags because I like the rides. But not all of them. There is only I will never go on. I’m excited for the boat cruise because I have only been on a boat once and it was pretty cool.

Civil war II (worst one yet)

The book that I read is called “The Darkest Path” and was written by Jeff Hirsch. The book is an adventure/war type. It’s takes place in the year 2026, in the United States. A group called The Glorious Path believes that America is unfair and the government has too much power. They begin a civil war, taking state by state and making it their own territory. Once they take it, they give the people a choice, join the Glorious path, or die. One soldier, Calllum Roe decides to go on a run with his younger brother James. They were both taken by The glorious. They now have to try to be free from the path and save the United States.

The beginning

The book that I read is The Maze Runner, this book is the first in the Maze Runner series. The author is James dashner. This is kind of like a mystery/action book. The book is about a boy named Thomas who was taken by a group named WICKED (it is supposed to be like this). Thomas is put into kind of like a haven, where there is at least 10 other kids there exactly like him. Him and the kids are there because they are immune to a disease called the flare. The flare is a man made disease accidently released by WICKED. The kids will have to go out of their haven and into a maze to help WICKED find a cure.

Slice of life

Nothing significant has happened to me in the month of February. I all do is wake up and go to school regularly. Out of all the months, I don’t know anyone who even has a birthday this month. It’s weird because every other month has something that is important to me, and then there’s February. To me it’s like it’s just there.

1

There is many words we know. But there is that one word that stands out to you the most out of like 172,000 words. The word that I chose for this year is accuracy. The reason I chose this word is because we have always asked ourselves if stuff we find on the internet or in a magazine is accurate. I want to be that go to when someone needs help with like their homework, bills, anything. This will take time but I plan on achieving this goal in about 5 months.

Woodsong

The book I read is called woodsong by Gary Paulson. The book is about how a stranger (don’t know the name) who has these group of dogs and uses them for sledding races. He tells a story he ended up down no one of the most insptense sled races of all time. This boom is short but it still has so much in each page.

The myths speak out the most

This is the third book that I have read in my ELA class. The book is called 30 second mythology. The author/editor is Robert A. Segal. The book has all these Greek mythologies that actually takes 30 to read each page (literally every story in this book took me 30 seconds to read). Even though it is quick, it really gives a lot of information. The book is called 30 second mythology. During some parts of this, they will talk about historical figures in Greece.

The perfect job

When I was little I was always into technology, I was fascinated by the way computers, cars, and how TVs worked. Now I am fascinated about space technology, solar panels, and windmills. The perfect job for me (temporary cause I want to start my own) is working at Tesla. Tesla has worked hard to find ways to keep our planet healthy. Also they make some nice electric cars that go really fast.

The end of the journey

The book “corpses, coffins, and crypts” is about the most important part in our lives that happens to everyone. Death. This book was written by penny colman. The book talks about what people did to dead people, what they believed in, and also how death changed over time.

What is the time

The book I read is called timeline. The book was written by Michael Crichton. It’s more of a action kind of book. It is about a 3 historians (who’s names are marek, Kate and Oliver) who were sent by a company ITC to go to another universe that is stuck in the medival time. These historians have 2 objectives, they need to 1. find the professor (professor Johnston) and 2. Make it back home on time. They have to go through knights, leaders, random killers, and even an executioner.

Quarter 1 reflect

Generally I'm always prepared for class and feel like I have gotten solid grades. I have only missed one day and try to be on time to school (cause I was always late last year). The classes I have are pretty good so far and I haven’t found the challenge. So overall, quarter 1 is good.

Beyond the outsiders

        The article I chose is called “self concept” and mainly just talks about how you feel about yourself and how you feel about what others think about you. This makes the book and the article that I read really similar. The first reason is because the article states, “Social Roles: We are all social beings whose behavior is shaped to some extent by the roles we play. Such roles as student, housewife, or member of the football team not only help others to recognize us but also help us to know what is expected of us in various situations.”  (Self concept section 1). This means that we all begin to shape ourselves into our roles for later in life. In the book, there were 2 kinds of people, socs and greasers. These two groups are now people mainly recognize other people.

Another reason that they are similar is the article talks about how we judge people just by how they look. This is true because the article states, “Mr. Clean - dressed in smart suit, carrying a briefcase opened to reveal a slide rule and books.
Mr. Dirty - dressed in an old T-shirt and jeans, slouched over a cheap sex novel.” (Self concept section 1). Like the article, the book says that socs dress in fancy clothes so that when they get in trouble with anybody, they would like the victim. Greasers dress in leather jackets and jeans to basically look “tuff” (cool), they also use grease to make their long hair look nicer (partially why they are called greasers).

Overall the these are a few reasons of why the article “self concept” and the outsiders are similar. Both talk about how they look and how we judge people based off how they look.

Outsiders book vs movie

The outsiders book vs movie


Overall the book and the movie were fairly similar, but like books, there are some differences. For example, in the beginning they start off pretty much the same were he says “when I got out of the theater…” (page 1, p.1). Also ponyboy tells cherry the story of why Johnny was scared of socs. They both talk about and show the rumble between the socs and the greasers and the greasers winning the rumble. Both films say that johnny killed bob and pony goes with him to run away to a church from there (dally tells them to go there). Lastly they show johnny dying and dally getting shot multiple times (then dying).

Since the book and movie have some big similarities, the movie still has a lot of differences from the book. First off unlike the book, the beginning for the movie shows johnny walking with ponyboy instead of it being ponyboy alone and almost getting jumped by socs. Also in the movie, they show what happened to dally before he got shot by cops. Lastly, the entire movie makes most of the events happen way too fast. When ponyboy told johnny that his folks don't want him at his house, in just 2 seconds, he realizes what he said was wrong. Also they skipped the part where they say ponyboy is doing bad in one classes and they skipped the part where he was in court.

The actors in this movie did an okay job (they do better now than they did before). They didn't get too into their characters and show that it really happened. For certain parts they got into it, but missed just a little bit. However, there was some actors that did slightly better than others.

The Life of My Nephew

About a year and a couple months, my sister told everyone that she was pregnant. All of us were happy, but my dad didn't seem so happy. When she was about three months, he finally said he would support her. 6 months later my nephew was finally born.
My sister had basically everything (but 2 things). My sister came back home and about 5-8 months

later, it got real (real difficult). At months he understood most of what we said (in English of course). At 10 months he began standing pretty well by himself and picked up and attitude. At the middle of 11 months he began trying to walk (all time is 28 steps).

During this time he had so much stuff in my room, my other sisters room, the living room, and the attic. Each month there was more and more stuff (he wanted so many toys). There was basically no such thing as a "free baby zone". One day, I looked my room and thought it could be better than the living room. Overtime my room was more spacious. It's still cramped in there but I'm making some progress. Maybe some day I could add just a small piece of furniture (like a small drawer).

What I see in 10 years

There is so many things that could happen 10 years from now.the way I see it however, is a little bit different. I see myself as doublemajor, starting my to get my 3rd degree and having a fair amount of money, in a house with a big pool and nice lawn. I also see myself having a nice entertainment center.

I plan on getting a a house that's big, but not too big ($400,000 - $850,000) so that I can still hav a lot of money left over to buy something else. I expect myself to have 3 dogs (1 pit bull and 2 German shepherds), a big grill and a shelf full of sneakers and slides (yeezys, Jordans, and Gucci slides). Hopefully I'm fit when I'm older, so I can get my shoe (either nike, under armor, or addidas). Also I see myself having at least 3 pairs of headphones (wireless for exercising, gaming head set, and 3rd for whatever) and 2 watches from Rolex.

I would probably live in Florida or stay in illinois (good her I guess). I see myself making a charity foundation that will make at least $800,000 and it can be to stop cancer. Lastly, I plan on having my own company, growing and growing, however I don't see being the biggest multimillion dollar company yet. I see myself having a corvette, traverse, and Porsche. This is what I see myself doing in 10 years.
