I am reading the book Speak. So far I love this book, and for many reasons. I think Speak is a very entertaining book to read, it caught my eye and kept me locked in so far. My favorite character in this book so far is of course the main character, Melinda, who speaks in 3rd person. Sometimes it's almost like she's writing in a journal, other times it's just like you're sitting and reading her everyday life.
In conclusion, I really like the book I chose to read, I think it was a good pic because it keeps me interested and reals me in. I give the author major props for that because I don't get into many books in that way.

The first celebrity figure I would like to be friends with would probably be Luke Hemmings. Luke is the lead singer and backup guitar player in my favorite band, 5sos. I would like to be his friend because not many fans have said that when they met him he was anyway rude, trolls will lie about him as a person but all around I think he is a very nice, kindhearted person. Luke also has a dog named Petunia and she is a French Pit Bull and she is the cutest thing anyone has ever seen. Luke and his girlfriend Arzaylea adopted her from a shelter that was going to put her down if no one wanted her and I thought that was an amazing thing to do.
The second celebrity that I would like to be friends with would be Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, can you see a pattern here? I really like bands. Billie is a really cool person all around, he is a fun, care-free guy and I feel like he'd be such an amazing person to have in my life. Billie married his high school girlfriend and had 2 kids, they got divorced but what I stand him for is that him and his ex wife are still friends and they support their 2 kids as they would if they were still together and I think that is amazing because not many ex's can do that easily. Lastly, the third celebrity who I would make my friend would have to be Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, though he is no longer with us due to suicide OR his wife killed him and got away with it, there are a lot of conspiracies about his death. Kurt did a lot of good things along with bad things. I believe everyone deserves a second chance but if they break trust again, no more. Kurt went through some really bad things in his life and some really personal things happened to him and he openly talked about it and I give him major props for that. Him and his wife, Courtney Love (who is a physio may I add), had 1 child together and when he was born was when him and Courtney started having problems but even through all of that he still held strong and never once let down fans at a show. If I had a time machine the first thing I would do is see Nirvana in concert. 1. In a paragraph or two compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) Night and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Some things movies had in common were the gas chambers, how scary this was, all the yelling, the crematoriums, and people being beaten. Some differences the movies had were that a pretty healthy kid should't have been sent to the gas chamber without selection, Schmuel would have been caught sitting behind the pile of stuff everyday and would have been punished.
2. Choose 1 character from Night or one character from Boy in the Striped Pajamas to analyze. Make note (explain) of their physical appearance, character traits, feelings, demeanor, thoughts, etc. Bruno from Boy in Striped PJ's was a very quiet person in the beginning of the movie, he slowly got more talkative and adventurous. He had bright blue eyes and he was a bit skinny, kind of kept to himself a lot. Bruno didn't realize what was really happening at the camps, he really just thought that the camp was a home for Jew, in which it was but he didn't realize how horrible they were until he crawled under the fence and went to Schmuel's hut to find Schmule's father only to be herded in a big pile of people into what they thought would be a shower but ended up being the gas chamber where they were killed. 3. How have your thoughts or understandings of the Holocaust changed since completing this unit (background research, Night, Boy in the Striped Pajamas? Since a few years ago I have been really stumped by the Holocaust because it was such a confusing process and why any human would even think about doing that to another is sick. Since reading Night my head has been a little more wrapped around one question, why? Through out the whole book I wondered why they did this to Jews, it's only a religion! 4. Which did you like better and why (book or movie)? I liked the book Night better because I think the author was able to express what he had been through very well and it came across very clear when he was explaining something. 5. Any final thoughts or questions you have regarding either the book, movie, or Holocaust in general? I really thought this was a good unit to study and I've always found the Holocaust very interesting. Over winter break me and my family went to Des Moines to visit my aunt, uncle and my little cousins. We had so much fun that we stayed an extra day! I wish we could visit more often but holidays are mostly when I see them. When we got back from there I went to my dads house and had 2 more Christmas celebrations with my dads side of the family and my step mom, Alicias, side of the family. I love when my family comes over, even if they aren't blood related they still took me in at a young age and claimed me as their own. I am so thankful to be able to spend the holidays with so many people that I love.
If I were to be in any video game that I wanted, I'd choose to be in Mario Kart 8 because when I play it with my siblings we always imagine what it would be like to be a character, even though we all know that it's completely impossible. We make sounds like we are that player and we move our bodies as if we are that player, if you think about it, we probably look insane... well, anyways, playing Mario Kart with my family has always brought me joy and it seems like it would be fun to drive around in a go cart all the time!
As president my first priority would be too make it easier for under wealthy children to get a college education. I feel as if people who don't have very much money see it at impossible to be able to pay for a good school. My family isn't wealthy, not even a little. I see myself going to Florida State and that isn't a very cheap college, it would be so much better if the government would set up an easier way for underprivileged kids to go to college.
My second request as president would be to try my best to stop protesting against everything anyone doesn't like. In our society we are so over privileged, at least we think we are. when one person doesn't get what they want it starts a whole thing between everyone else because out world just likes drama and we want the complain whenever we get a chance. While I am extremaly thankful for my family and friends there is one thing that is more important then them, my band. My band is 5sos, short for Five Seconds of Summer. They started to ruin my life about 4 years ago and I have never been happier. My favorite member of the band is Michael Clifford, also know around me house as Dayzy's Forced Husband. There are 3 other members; Luke, Ashton, and Calum. Moms like Ashton, lowkey preppy girls like Calum and stupid people like Luke because come on, that dude has a lot of unwanted drama. Anyways, this small band 5sos has brought me so much joy with their music and laughs and everything else. My thoughts and feelings on the election consist of a whole lot of nothing, my views on the election are very slim. I've watched all the debates but in my opinion they mean nothing, just 2 people arguing about what they think will "Make American Great Again'. Yes, I do think Clinton should have won but that obviously did not happen, we made a man who looks and acts like an umpa lumpa the person we trust to run our country.
Agree with me, or don't agree with me, this is my view point of the whole situation and thank you for hearing me out. |
