So far I like the book it didn't have a slow start and it leaves a little mystery in the beginning. I like how he describes his glass that are so thick he looks like a bug-eyed alien. Another thing I like is how his brother Erik is like mysterious and doesn't act like his brother at all. If I had to pick my favorite part in the book so far it would have to the part when Paul gets kicked off the soccer team because of his glass. Because he loves soccer so much and is willing to do anything to play it. So it was like a little twist that I didn't expect.
Tangerine is a book by Edward Bloor. The book is about a boy named Paul Fisher who has glass for some type of reason. His family moves to Tangerine Country, Florida. He has a football star brother and lives near a fire burn that burns for years. But all he really cares about is making the soccer team.

2017 spring has to be one of my favorites. My Aunt came down from Seattle because she got a new job in Dubai so she wanted to hangout with us before she left the United States.Monday it snowed so we had to build a snowman and have a snowball. It went great for the kids but bad for her. But she did win at the hot coca!! Tuesday I went to a G-world camp and that was fun got to make some bath stuff and then played some fun games. Wednesday was my chill day.
Thursday was probably the best day out of the week. I went to another G-world camp and we went rollerskating which before that day I did not know how to roller skate but when I left I did! Also that day was my aunt's last full day so went bowling with family, friends and it sure was a night to remember because one I was there and did all the stuff you could possibility do when bowling.But all in all it was a good spring break and I wish it wasn't over. 1) Which one did I like better Night(book) or The boy in the stripped pajamas(movie)?
If I had to pick one it would be the movie because I love movies and this was a really good movie. But I liked both of them because the book was about a real person and his life in the holocaust. I also like the book because it had real facts in it and you could learn from it. In the movie it was more about a little boy and how he was learning about whats happening at that time. He sees things that he's not suppose to see and puts it together. But both of them are really good if you want to learn about the holocaust and I would recommend for you to read the book first so you could see what's life in a camp then watch the movie so you could see whats its like to not be Jewish during that time. 2) How have your thoughts or understandings of the Holocaust changed since completing this unit (background research, Night, Boy in the Striped Pajamas? When I was in 5th grade we talk very little about the Holocaust. All I knew was that Hitler was behind it and a lot of people died. Talking about it now gives me more information about what happened and why he did it all ( because we didn't talk about why he did it). It makes me appreciate the things I have and my life because you never know when it could get taken away from you. Also it makes me want to never forget about what during the holocaust and of all the lives that got taken away during this time. Name: Tough Questions
Page number: 82 Description- They had to pick if the were going to move on or stay in the infirmary. They didn't know what was going to happen if they stayed or leave. So they went with there gut and hoped they wont regret. What does this question make me wonder about? It makes me wonder did they ever regret leaving the infirmary and how did they come down to the decision to leave. Name-Aha moment page-110-112 Description- A blockalteste told him to stop carrying for his farther because they are in a concentration camp and there is no is no friends or family in here. He had to start taking care of himself and stop worrying about everyone. How might this change things? It would the change the way he thinks from now on. He cares about his farther but he is very sick and there is nothing the doctors can do. So he knows that he is going to be in the camp alone soon and have no one. So he has to know how to survive on his own. Name-Memory Moment page-100 Description- He saw some men fighting over some bread in the wagon and he remembered how a similar event happened in Aden. The people were throwing coins to the "natives". But he saw two children strangling each other for water. He tells one of the ladies to stop but she says that she likes giving to charity. why might this memory be important? Because it reminds him of himself like the single piece of bread on the train, and how desperate and hungry they were. If I was president of the untied states. My top 3 priorities would be to make colleges more affordable, healthcare more affordable, and give the people who severe the united states a bigger pay check.
I feel like everyone should have healthcare some type of way. Because if they fall or need to go in to get something checked out. Sometimes they don't go because they don't have the money and they say its not a big deal. But then when its get worse they go in and they usually need surgery or some type of medicine but they don't have the money so they just go thew the pain. I feel like no one should go thew the pain because they can't afford it. I would make the payments lowers. If you can get accepted in a college you really want to go to but you don't because of how much it costs and you do go to it but when your out your owe so much money or all your doing in college is classes and work. I find that one not living the college life and two when your out of college you owe a lot of money then that becomes tons because the interest. So your not really setting your life up great towards the future. I would make it affordable by letting the families pick their plans. Ex sally family does not have a lot of money so she will have to pay her way through it. I would give sally the basic a 10 lunch plan and a room that will work then she would make monthly payments and by the time she is out she would of payed off everything. That kinda of how I would do it. This one is really important maybe the biggest to me. It really bugs me that people who aren't even famous for a good reason is making more money then the people who risk their life everyday to protect us. We have soldiers out on the street because the got hurt or they took a wrong path somewhere in life. But then you have football players who are having a happy life and gets to go home at night to sleep in a bed or see family and friends. I know that they can get hurt bad to and they have brands and etc. I don't know how I would make this happen maybe taking money in a less needed area or something. I'm not sure but I would find a way to make to happen. In the article of The 8 life skills a 18 year old should have,I will really agree with them all of it. People wrote about things all 18 years old should have by that age. It said stuff like they should be able to talk to strangers or find there way around campas stuff like that.
I have like half of those down and half of those I still need to work on them more. I think all of those things we should have down before 18 because we are going to need them in the world. If I could live in any video game I would pick minecraft. Because its basicly like the real world but without the witchs and creepers. I dont play the game often only when I'm board or my brother needs me for like 5 minutes. So I would have to do some reaserh before I go in the game. But I think it would be fun to go out and gather stuff the make things. The only thing I would change would be the house buliding because I would just die on that. It takes me forever to get one tiny house done. But becides that it would be really fun to live in side minecraft.
Family- Because they have to deal with me every single day and they listen to me when I need them to. Friends- Because they are there for me and they make me laugh. Ice cream- Because that just makes everything better. My thoughts and feelings after the election are why would anyone want this guy to be the president. He and his vice president are the worst so right now I'm waiting for someone to wake me up and say its just a dream. People say that I'm living history right here but I don't feel that way. I don't agree with how he is going to make America great again. I don't like that phase because I thought Obama was doing a pretty good job and he was making America better.
Plus I'm getting sick of people talking about i'm moving or bye to their friends.Its like we should of get a day off if that all people going to talk about.Because that was what most of this day was people disagreeing. Now I just got to hope and kinda see what is so good about him.But until 2020 Donald Trump is the president of the United States Of America. |
