So far in my opinion Black and White is a great book. Black and White has topics and characters that are easy to relate to. It also is high paced and suspenseful. These are all the reasons that I like the book Black and White

Monday
I woke up and ate 8 Eggs, A cup of oatmeal, and 3 pancakes. later I ran 3 miles, went up to City High to practice for track and field. After that I ate lunch at Panera then went home and did nothing. At 6:00 I went to the GYM to lift weights. On my way over I wiped out on my bike, and met a homeless person. Later I got home and we had spaghetti for dinner Tuesday I got up, and ate 5 eggs and 4 waffles. For the rest of the day I didn't do much, Except lift weights. For dinner I had sushi. Wednesday Wednesday was another day of hard training. Got up, ate 6 eggs, and a cup of oatmeal, and ran 2 miles. I went up to city high and worked out. then came home, and hung out with my friends. Later at 5:00 I went to the GYM to lift weights. We ate steak for dinner. Thursday I woke and ate 2 eggs, 8 pieces of bacon, and 1 pancake. I lifted weights in the morning cause I went to the mall with my friends. Friday I woke up, and ate 6 eggs and 2 cups of oatmeal. I went to City High, but I had a light practice, and then at home I was laid back and hung out with my friends. Friday was laid back until I went to City High to lift weights. Friday is always leg day, and leg day is always excruciating and painful. I came home unable to walk, and we ate pizza. In my honest opinion the book Night was better than the movie Boy In Striped Pajamas. I think this mainly because the movie was boring,and seemed to drag along. The book was a little less so, and it went more in depth.
My thoughts on the holocaust have changed throughout this unit. First it just opened up my understanding of the holocaust, second I learned how many people actually died during the holocaust, third it reminded me how worse our lives could be. Contrast and contradictions
pg 74 The blockeltaste acts toward the prisoners with compassion instead of violence He might do this because he´s been in a concentration camp, or he´s polish, or maybe he´s just a nice guy Words of the Wiser pg 78 In this section Elie is in the infirmary and someone next to him warns him to leave as soon as possible because they might get of him to make room The lesson learned is to not linger in the infirmary. Tough Question pg 78-79 Here Elie is contemplating weather he should take the mans advice and leave or if he´s just trying to get rid of him This is not very significant. This question makes me wonder what was the mans real intentions were In this blog I will cover the three things I would do/change if I was a president.
First I would declare war with North Korea, just kidding I wouldn't do that just yet. The first thing I would do is lower taxes. I would do this because no hardworking person making decent pay should have to take half their pay and give it to some unemployed lazy person that´s living in their parents basement. The second thing I would do is start the production of nuclear, chemical, and bio weapons. I would do this not with the intent of starting WW3. But just in case we get involved in a great war, then we will be the most powerful nation. The third thing I would do is illegalize abortion, and gay marriage. I would do this because its unethical and goes against religion. I would do this by electing all republican supreme court justices. And one last thing I would do is put Hillary Clinton in prison. What I did over winter break, honestly I diddnt do much. Mainly I just stayed at my grandmas houseand(in Minesota) did....uhhh....stuff. We had two christmas selebrations one in Iowa and one in Minesota. Both were enjoyable and I got to spend time with family. The last thing we did was we went to the mall of america. Well that summs it up; over all I had a pretty good winter break.
There are 8 skills an 18 year old should have. An 18 year old should be able to talk to strangers, find his way arround a campous, manage assingments. Contribute to the running of a hhousehold, handle interpersonal problems, cope with ups and downs of workload. Earn and manage money, and lastley an 18 year old should be able to take risks.
I agree with these skills, they are verry practical. I feel that i have allot of these skills. But there are ones that i dont have so well. The only one I need to work on is managing assignments. In this blog I will discuss one rule/policy at home/school that i would replace. The rule that I would replace is the rule that states that we cannot run in the hallways. I can get teachers not wanting kids to sprint through the hallways, but fast walking or jogging should be allowed. So this rule is not necessarily a bad rule, teachers just need to be a little more lenient when enforcing this rule.
There is another Rule/policy that I will discuss, this is the tardy policy. The one problem with the tardy policy is the way it functions. You're late you get detention, It doesn't account for all the possible outstanding variables. Some of these variables that might hinder you from getting to class on time could include having lunch prior to the period, having classes that are on the other side of the school, and being told not to fast walk when theirs like 5 seconds till the bell(kinda sounds familiar doesn't it. So once again it isn't necessarily a bad policy but be more leneant when enforcing it I am thankful for many things; a couple of things that I am thankful for are freedom of speech, a family with high paying job, freedom of religion, and all the unique opportunities I have had at south east.
I am thankful for these things because I might not be where I am now, or the person I am now. So yeah it's nice to have these things, and I am very thankful for them. |
