My Ishmael R.E.M

Project description: We had read this book in class called My Ishmael. Charlotte had gave us different types of "Reading Enjoyment Maximizers," we had to pick just one of them out of all the different once. All of this R.E.M had to reflect to the book or chapter of My Ishmael.

Process: First we had to read the book My Ishmael after we were finish with book we had to chose our R.E.M. I chose to do the illustrator and pick one chapter so with the drawing people can understand more the chapter and the book. At the beginning when i chose my chapter to draw i didn't really know what draw about but i went back to the chapter that i decide to do that is called We Lurch To The Starting Line and i had to re read the chapter so i can know what i had to draw about. I had to draw a school and the young man that was talking to Ishmael. Basically my chapter was about that a young man name Alan Lomax and a gorilla name Ishmael were talking to each other. At first i though it was going to be hard but once i understand it made everything more easy.

Reflection: I learn so many things in this project about My Ishmael and R.E.M. The process of this chapter is that no matter what if you don't have a picture in the book or in the chapter and you don't really understand it Even though you went back to re read and you still don't get it the easy way to do is to just draw a picture that can help you to understand more.

The challenge i had was that i didn't really know what R.E.M to chose and After me choosing the illustrator i didn't know what to draw about those were my main challenge.

If i had something to change it would be the way i have to spend more time on my work so i can do better. An to focus on just the part that my project was about.

This project would help me more for other type of R.E.M and to be better in other classes or for other school and so they can know that i understand what R.E.M is and what you exactly have to know.

This I believe Reflection

Project description: In class we first had to write 30 things that we believe. It had to be something important in you're life, but it could be funny. After that we had to choose one that we wanted to write about that we really believe on.

Reflection: In this I believe project i had learn a lot about the things that i believe, and i also learn that everyone in this world have lots of things that they can believe.

The challenge i had was to choose one 1 out of 30 things that i wrote. Even though i had the 30 i believe to help me see on the things that i believe it made it more hard to choose because all of them had good things that i can write about but i still made my choose in witch one to write about.

The thing i would do different is to write more then 400 words so it can be longer and so it can be more interesting. i would also had change on spending more longer on coming up with more details so people can understated it more.

This i believe project would help me so i can become a good writer and so it can help me more in other class.

Evelyn Glennie:Shows How to Listen

What would you remember about the performance?
I think I would remember the way she like to play instruments and make sounds
even though she was deaf she knew what sounds she had for her instruments.

Describe what it felt like listening to her. what factors help create this moment?
you can describe any of the times that she played either instruments.
What I enjoy on her performance was the way she would play on the Marimba she would make any good sounds. I also enjoy the way she would put all her hardness to make it good so everyone can enjoy it like I did. The other thing that i like too was when she was playing with her drum she would play not only with the sticks but with her jewelry.

What elements of her performance influenced what the audiences heard?
I think she put alot of effort on her performance. I was so shock that she was deaf, because she seem like she wasent. Until doing the performance she said that she was deaf since she was young. She show all her emotions on her sounds and on playing her instruments.

What did she mean be, "Each person experience music in their different"?
I think that even though some people had different problems like been deaf, blind or other things they still have the same passions as other people that can hear, feel or play music. No matter what they can still have a chance to do all those things well if they like to do those kinds of stuff. Not everyone likes the same types of music because it depends on what you like. Every person have a different personality.

Talking these ideas out :)

The most thing that struck me out was about Food Inc and the different of the food system. I dont agree with the fast food companies or other food that is modified to whatever other companies. Every companie food has the same teast of any meal you have in any locations. I think its not healthy because of they way they are doing them. All of the effects are going to the world by the way they are doing to all of the foods. My family and friends have no idea the conditon of the slaughtered animal were so bad that is now connect to all of the food system. They agree with what I think about companies that are invloved with the food system. And I disagree with the people by killing the animals even though are food is made by animals....

School Daze II

Quote:"Education occurs among them as constantly and effortlessly as education occurs in a household where there's a three-year-old. Unless you confine it to a crib or a playpen, there's simply no way to stop a three-year-old from learning."
Response: I think that having a three-year-old having to stay in household from learning is bad they need education even though they have household is not the same if they go to school. Even though they have three- years -old they need some education. Even though many people think that 3 year old cant really have education I think most of kids can have a good education no matter if your younger or old everyone need the same education.

Leilony Getting Attacked

Link to zine :)
Leilony was only 15 years old. She was tall and skinny and her eyes were blue like the sky, she likes to party a lot and be with her boyfriend and her friends and family.

It was a Friday night when Leilony was having an argument with her parents at her big and nice house. Leilony never listened to her parents. They were arguing because Leilony wanted to go to a party with her boyfriend and her friends. She opened the door and went to have a walk at the park it was kind of far away like 30 minutes from her house. After a couple of hours it was really night. After a couple of minutes she went back home. She was walking alone. It was so late and dark she just walked and walked trying to get to her house. She was walking alone in the street, when she was walking there were two guys in the corner on the street, and another one on the other side of the corners. She was really scared that they might do something to her. Even though she was scared she kept walking. The guys were looking at her and after a while the guys started to follow her, In a moment they grab her took everything out of her purse and they took her with them in an old house.

The house was so old that the doors were broken and the windows too. It was yellow with white and it only had one room were they had Leilony it was very dark inside the house, the walls were falling all the house was falling down.

When they took her away she was scared because she didn’t know what they were going to do to her. She was thinking if she hadn’t left her house this would not have happened. She didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t defend herself. She was crying so hard that her eyes were red. She was feeling terrible she was crying and screaming at the same time please let me go. “I want to go with my parents”, the guys said, “no you’re not going with your parents until we get the money”.

As soon as they got to the old house the guys tied her from her hands and her legs. Leilony couldn’t stand up or do anything. The guys just give her bread and a cup of water. After two days the guys had made a call to Leilony’s parents and told them that they want 6,000 thousand dollars so that the girl would be alive or else they were going to kill her. Her mom and dad were crying.

After a week the guys called back and told her parents to bring the money, but they told them not to call the cops. Her parents were scared. They didn’t care what the man said to them, they still called the cops to go with them, so when they went to take the money the cops went with them.

When they got to the park at night her dad put the money on the ground and when the guy came out from where he was hiding he pointed the gun at her dad. When the guy got the money the cops came out from where they were hiding. They were shooting everywhere at the park. They shot one of the guys boom boom the guy felt to the ground and the guy was all dead with his eyes open and blood all over him and the others were arrested. Finally Leilony was with her parents again and she decided to listen to her parents and not leave the house anymore and not even at night she feel very disappointed to herself.

After a month one of the guys that took Leilony ditched the jail and he decided to kill Leilony’s dad. So Leilony’s dad went to go buy some food for his wife and his daughter, but after a while it was getting dark and Leilony’s dad didn’t come back. She and her mom were worried. After a while the phone rang, it was the cops. They told Leilony’s mom that her husband was dead, Leilony cried like she never had her eyes were so watering and red her make up was all mess up. She couldn’t help it. She was feeling bad that she wanted to die to because her dad was not with her anymore, she didn’t know what to do anymore. Now Leilony and her mom had to move on. They were alone and didn’t have her dad anymore. Since then Leilony always listened to her mom.

Years had passed and Leilony finally graduated from school like her dad had wanted her to. Now she works as a teacher and knows what to do now since she’s 20 years old. She had decided to get married with her boyfriend and wanted to have a lot of kids. Leilony’s mom was so happy that she said, “I’m happy for you and I know that your dad its here he would be happy with you daughter. Leilony cry because she was happy of all the decision that she had made for her and her family she never thought this was going to end it like this.

The deal was that people would help all the scientist to make better computers, to predict ocean circulation, and also to the perhaps that are most of the importanted of the rest of the planet.

Reflection

1. How does a hero become a hero?
They become hero by always been there in the good and bad times

2. Project Description- What was the Hero in My Eyes project?
The hero in my eyes project was that we had to pick someone that has been there for us. Then we had to write an essay about why they are our heroes we had to be very descript.

3. Process- What steps did you take to get to the final product?
Well we had to do drafts and then we had to go with our peer, so they can make sure we had everything good. After we did that we had to type our final draft

4. Reflection- What did you learn? What challenges did you encounter?
What would you do the same or different? How will this help you later?
Hero isn’t a person that has only powers a hero can also be a person who is always there for you.

My challenge was doing the hero CS I didn’t understand how to do it at the beginning but now I know how to.

What I would have done better was that I would add more information to my final draft.

This would help me improve my essay

I used wonder because I sometimes ask to myself all those questions on my hero essay

Giving advice to my problems

This person that she turns to be my hero she’s 25 years old she’s very pretty has brown eyes and her name is Marilyn. She was at my house sitting down in the couch watching TV when she sees me there sitting down with my face all sad. I had told her that I was having problems. I ask her when I talk to you about my problems how do you feel knowing that you’re helping me on them? She said, “I feel good knowing that I can help other people. I especially like helping my sister-in-law because it makes me feel like I am helping a young sister that I never had.” As Marilyn was talking to me I felt kind of special because she had told me that besides just being a sister-in-law I was like a sister to her, I was happy with a smile on my face.

As we were talking I was thinking in my head how does she feel when I’m telling her my problems? I had asked her that and she told me that she, “Feels good because it makes me know that you trust me and that you know you can always count on me.” I was impress you have told me that I never herd that from none of my sisters-in-law.

After a while we stop talking and we were just there watching a movie and through the movie I ask her do you like helping me by giving me advice and helping me on my big problems? “Of course I like helping you. I can relate to most of your problems because I went through the same problem as a teenager”, said Marilyn
Once she had told me if she likes helping me I had ask her how you do know how to fix my problems? She was thinking about it. Marilyn said, “well I don’t feel like I always know the answer to everything but I try to learn from my life experience and I try to give you good advice so that you don’t make the same mistakes I made”, I told her yeah I know. So that’s why I’m going to do good in school.

I was really into asking her a lot of questions about my problem I really wanted to ask her this question because it was one of the most important one. I really want to know if you like helping me on my problems? As Marilyn answer my question, saying that “I like helping you because I don’t want to see you get hurt and I like to see you succeed. I was like really happy that I had a sister-in-law like her she has helped me realize that I do care for her.

Every time we have a conversation about someone I’m always telling her my problems. I told her to tell me when she feels she helps me that most she told me “The time I help you the most when you had boyfriend and homework problems. I feel that I have helped you a lot with school and homework. Ever since you were in kinder grade you always ask for help. I have also seen grow from a little girl to a beautiful teenager and have seen you get heart broken more than once. I know every time this happens it always make you feel better when you talk to someone about you problem I’m glad that person is me,” said Marilyn. Did you feel sorry for me when you have helped me on my problems? “I feel bad and sad when you have really bad problems. But most. of the time I feel proud of you because I know that no matter how hard the problem is you always find a way to solve it and make it all better”, she said. I was really proud she shows me that she dose care about me and that no matter what, she’s always going to be there for me.

The origin zero

I thought the articles were very interesting they were talking about the number zero.They were talking about placeholders. The number zero was discover by some semi-intelligent creature.
In my opinion there wasn't a single person to invented the number zero.In my opinion some sort of communication with numbers to where someone could teach people.
I think that zero just a number that really doesn't mean anything.

I really like reading all those interesting articles they were very good.

A Special Moment In My Life

Catching the signal from one of her friends, Carolina brushed her skirt, took a deep breath and walked towards where he was sitting. She couldn’t believe that he was right there feeling her touching around her waist. Her Blue eyes were as blues as the water. She was wearing a baby blue skirt and a white shirt. Her Legs were an earthquake. Angela thought how time never waits for anymore. Angela finally decided to talk to the guy she was having a crush on him. She had been waiting for this moment to come. She sat next to him in the rocks looking at the water and she said, “I always see you and you’re always standing there with your friends.” “Well my name is Carolina.”

My Boyfriend Breaking My Heart (We Are Back Again :))

It was a sunny day, at lunch and I started walking to Vons when I suddenly herd somebody calling my name. It was my ex, “Hey Ara come here,” he said. We were in front of Vons people were walking around us, we could hear the cars of the stores moving, flowers around us, soda cans being opened and people just eating.

I couldn’t stop staring at him. He looked so cute with his black shirt spike hair and baggy pants, but I had a bad feeling about this. He usually gives me a hello kiss. Looking at his lips moving I wanted to kiss him, hearing those words coming out of his juicy lips made me worried. Looking at his brown eyes made me remember of all the good moments we had. Then out of nowhere he says to me that our relationship is over. It took me by surprise it made everything around me stop, and it made my heart feel a deep pain.

As he was talking saying that it was over I couldn’t believe it especially after all the good moments we had, like his birthday and when we went to parties and we danced together having his arms around my waist and moving to the sound of music. Just looking at his eyes made me have my tears coming from my eyes. I couldn’t believe all the words that they were coming out of his mouth I was so shocked. I felt so sad after all this, after all the things we did together. I just hope that this pain that I feel will some day go away.
I feel like I would never have my life the same after every special moment we had.

All those moments change my life since I can’t touch those juicy lips his hands grabbing my hand and when he had his hand around my waist. It’s hard to move on after every little thing you do with the person you love. As I’m showing you I hope u can realize that love kind of hurts but at the same time is something really special.

I Can hear waves moving.At first it sound it really soft rocks following down from the top.Then I though it was good. Like about a second when the sound start it to go faster I could hear steps like someone was chancing other people.It also sound it like someone was eating something that was really hard. It sound really loud and scary after when I hear it I couldn't stop listing to it. It sound it scare that every time you go somewhere dark you going to remember this sound as you walk you going to feel someone behind you. When I hear this sound I feel lonely its a feeling that you cant explain.Every time you hear this sound you just want to look around and see that nobody is behind you. It sound like a train going on the woods without destination.I cant put nobody in this position were you can hear this scary sound.You can hear trees moving.Even though its scary It seem like if i want it to be there because it sound really calm. Everyone who listens to this sound could relax and enjoy the sound. I recommend that you listen to this sound

The Locker Problem

This solution problem has 31 lockers remain open. First i had found the pattern of odd. The lockers were open by the pattern they are 1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100,121,144, and 160 and it keeps on going we know that all this numbers are perfect squares. Each of the lockers get change. If each of the lockers are odd there are the once that are open. Each student opens a different locker. If the even number have touch the locker it would be close. Only the odd numbers are open because they are perfect square. Here is how u multiply, you multiply by 16 and25 and ect. Here are the numbers you can multiply by to get to (16) 1*16, 2*8, 4*4 and also to get to (25) you multiply 1*25, 5*5. Every perfect square have a factor that are pair by root factor.

1. Student	2. student		3.student.	4.student	5.student	6. student

What is Math?What is Physics?

Math it's something that I want to learn a lot because it's something that we always going to use anywhere you go. Well math to me is something really good even though you get stressful because you have to be really patient also it's a hard work specially if you don't really get it at all. Math is something interesting thing. Math helps you a lot, helps you by getting you really smart and also you have to learn all the graphs they have. It helps you if you ever thing to have your own job you know how much money your making. Basically what I'm trying to say is that math helps you for anything you need.
Physics to me is something really interesting because you get to do many labs. You get to be a scientific person by doing many experience. Learning physics helps you became a physic teacher and been a physic teacher can also help other people by doing labs that they don't even know how to do and also how to find the results. Physics is something really cool because you get to use a lot of materials and you get to test other experience that you have never done. I really like physics because you get to do experience that you don't expect to do and to learn and you get to try it out. Basically what I'm trying to say is that physics are something that you going to like and that you would always do if your interesting.
