The army has to hide behind child soldiers because no one want's to kill a young boy. I see it as cheating, cruel, and a child shouldn't be forced to kill people, let alone seeing people killed just that is really messed up. Some are even drugged up to get them to obey and listen there brain washed pretty much. I am against any country having child soldiers, no child should have to grow up in an army.12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-62564711939757363942011-01-25T10:08:00.000-08:002011-01-25T10:33:57.303-08:00RwandaRwanda- This country has been put through some terrible things.

Young, Lance, Bob, and Rob are all popular friends and Simon Glass is the geek of the school. The four friends make it there mission to make Simon Glass the most popular kid in school. They will make an attempt at this by changing the way Glass dresses, walks, talks, eats, drinks, sleeps, and breathes. <div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>This book is alright I like it but it's not modern because theres really no groups in high school like popular kids and geeks.

The main character is Chance. He lives on a boat on a boat pierre. He lives with his dad there his mom left him and his dad because she was sick of Chance’s dad being drunk all the time. Chance is poor and doesn’t have many clothes and is kind of a shy kid in school. He runs everyday on the beach after school to get away from his cooped up boat and his drunk father. One day he was running and he felt he was being followed he’s had the same routine for a while and this time he knew he was being watched. A guy confronts him and offers him a 100 dollar bill to think about running “packages” for him and to drop them off in his locker and the rest will be dealt with. He just has to pick them up and drop them off. So he thinks about it and takes the job because his dad had just gotten fired and they could use the extra money. He gets paid 200 dollars a week for just running and picking up packages and putting them in his locker. Chance gets curious and wants to know what is in the package even know the guy told him not to look. So he didn’t and he ran packages for months and months. And he met the guy that gave him the job and the guy said he’l be getting different packages. Just store them on your boat. So he does. His dad has been in and out of different jobs getting drunk all of the time. Chance is disappointed in his dad but he loves him more than anything. Chance opens one of the new packages and finds out it’s plastic explosives. He figures out he’s dealing with terrorist’s. He thinks terrorist are trying to blow up a populated area around the sound. You can read the book to find the rest out.</div>12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-61754678253714079842010-06-16T05:57:00.000-07:002010-06-16T06:07:39.394-07:00Opinion Piece<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6g8qsFBVgRsxy76A8OK_HALM_-bfskafVR1VqzTjxlXONQjltfGmwXhL8cwXrm5TJU-CMpu2DvR4SiFj7A0RYG0WLJbzI2H2YJfdsuk-BwZ4r-tMGP1LX4-4F3WcQ_Kz9w8k6hiBaOdA/s1600/oil_rig_3_spill.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6g8qsFBVgRsxy76A8OK_HALM_-bfskafVR1VqzTjxlXONQjltfGmwXhL8cwXrm5TJU-CMpu2DvR4SiFj7A0RYG0WLJbzI2H2YJfdsuk-BwZ4r-tMGP1LX4-4F3WcQ_Kz9w8k6hiBaOdA/s320/oil_rig_3_spill.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483357483718063074" border="0" /></a><br />I want learn more about the Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That really interest's me because it's something we in Maine might have to deal with because the last I heard the oil got to Florida and is on it's way up because they can't stop it. I don't know a lot about this but that's why I want to learn more about it. I think our fishing industry will go down and all of the sea-food restaurants will not have a lot of business if the oil gets up here. But I would like to learn more about that.<br /><br />http://www.sindhtoday.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/oil_rig_3_spill.jpg12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-41221513405648628832010-06-16T05:50:00.000-07:002010-06-16T05:57:19.747-07:00Blog ReflectionThis year was a little rough with the blogging because it was my first year, I was new to it and had no idea for like the first month how to use it. I think for kids coming up into freshman year if they have to blog, they should be showed how to use this. How to use the buttons in the tool bar, The last blog I just did (5 minutes ago) I just learned how to use spell check and it's the last day of school so I think kids should have a few classes to be taught about this. Also the user-name and password was hard to remember because I have several user name's and passwords. I think teachers should keep a list of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">every one's</span> just in case they forget there's. I think that would be helpful. Next year I want to improve on adding a picture in when I've been told to because sometimes I forget and have to go back and edit it.12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-30711360609377550172010-06-16T05:46:00.000-07:002010-06-16T05:50:10.388-07:00Poetry FridayI have learned more about poetry this year. Poetry Friday helped because it was a weekly thing and you just didn't learn everything at once because then you just forget it. It was all year long and weekly. It helped me learn about more people that are poets and rappers are poets too. It showed me how to write poems in different ways. It was easy to read someones poem and kind of change it up a little and make it about me. I do think Poetry Friday was helpful.12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-45446569537835325002010-06-16T05:21:00.000-07:002010-06-16T05:46:43.589-07:00Blood Brothers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjSLjaVC0EgL_Tx5AFDLquApKBzZP9pT2JolkyTgKTdFTIv5K0amXF_2L1QsNbSBx99Jh3waNNCIBUZDyXz3hhYRNbI0noEWn7J3i4I1BGf2MuJ7GiSAWgpNQNI88c9zqKtuvqbIDtwg/s1600/blood_brothers_000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjSLjaVC0EgL_Tx5AFDLquApKBzZP9pT2JolkyTgKTdFTIv5K0amXF_2L1QsNbSBx99Jh3waNNCIBUZDyXz3hhYRNbI0noEWn7J3i4I1BGf2MuJ7GiSAWgpNQNI88c9zqKtuvqbIDtwg/s320/blood_brothers_000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483352057303834482" border="0" /></a><br />I read the book <span style="font-style: italic;">Blood Brothers</span>. It's about two boys Clay (main character) and Joey (his best friend) Clay works in a hospital as a helper he and his best friend Joey are mad at each other about a girl. Clay is at work and a teenage girl comes in bleeding really badly, and he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sees</span> her die, then he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">realizes</span> there are worse things in life and doesn't want to argue with Joey any more. So he rode his bike to Joey's and when he got there the place was trashed. It looked like a party had went on (joeys parents are out of town) so clay was looking for Joey.Joey was on the floor passed out. Clay woke him up, and out of no where Joey just attached him! Clay defended him self and pushed joey to the floor. Joey smacked his head off the floor and was knocked out cold. Clay called 911 and Joey was sent to the ER. This is a short book with a lot of detail about Joey and Clays life together, Clay has flash backs of memories they shared together, while Joeys in the ER on a feeding tube in a coma.Clay is devastated and never wanted to hurt Joey that bad. Joey's at the same hospital Clay works at. This book I'd recommend for teens because stuff like this can happen to anyone especially teenagers, just horsing around can do a lot. I liked this book it taught me to be careful, and not to mess around like that because hitting your head is serious. There is a lot more to this book if you want to know if Joey gets to go home or not read the book.<br /><br /><br />http://www.barnstable.k12.ma.us/bhs/Library/images/blood_brothers_000.jpg12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-44677346040058202852010-06-07T07:34:00.000-07:002010-06-07T07:42:59.614-07:00My Cause<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihllH2OymYeh79XFRqisEAmiDpm49z4Iysmlk-mjwPjZx_2cYnUpRULzZt896X26FMLdQdJBqb044Z19CLY6HSofaghLl4P8XEORY8-v7Y7yNghxt2OOXfHRFMiZEaMazxYnr9YmYPKaU/s1600/1_FatherAndSonFishingCleaned.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihllH2OymYeh79XFRqisEAmiDpm49z4Iysmlk-mjwPjZx_2cYnUpRULzZt896X26FMLdQdJBqb044Z19CLY6HSofaghLl4P8XEORY8-v7Y7yNghxt2OOXfHRFMiZEaMazxYnr9YmYPKaU/s320/1_FatherAndSonFishingCleaned.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480042254505834434" border="0" /></a><br />My cause is to spend time with my son or daughter. To go to there, baseball games, softball games, football games, to the lake, to the ocean, to the fair, to the circus, to the zoo, graduations, going fishing, going hunting, cookouts, anything with them anything that involves spending time with them. Because my dad missed a lot of games, practices special events because he was always working on the road. Alaska, California, Virginia, Connecticut, Colorado, Ohio, many others. The fact is he wasn't there for a lot. So I want to give back to my children and be there for them.12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-75698382013099900232010-06-03T07:13:00.000-07:002010-06-03T07:25:33.056-07:00The Chariot<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpbZ-jvf0azF8GqvuHqJB4yoQULsnxvldo0nOI7d8OcscRkSp849szf960KMLKEXv2O_uheLyVk1-NLza0toDl6eKAJsaCrfuwWF91x3oN9s1lmi-qIIOmHudNInLe72gmC4G7pLW6O4/s1600/Photo+5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpbZ-jvf0azF8GqvuHqJB4yoQULsnxvldo0nOI7d8OcscRkSp849szf960KMLKEXv2O_uheLyVk1-NLza0toDl6eKAJsaCrfuwWF91x3oN9s1lmi-qIIOmHudNInLe72gmC4G7pLW6O4/s320/Photo+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478553391540765650" border="0" /></a><br />I think The Chariot card goes with me because I like to work for my stuff, not like school or book work but work outside of school.

Even if I just got done playing baseball, I'l get inside and after about 5 minutes of just sitting down I'l get bored and have to do something outside again. I hate being inside it's to boring. I'm more of an active person then a just sitting around doing nothing kind of person. I rather work outside like mowing, weed-whacking, cutting trees, splitting wood, or riding my bike then just being inside. Last night I weed-whacked the sides of my driveway at 9:30 because I was bored. I like to keep busy.12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-41979578724261032212010-05-21T06:59:00.000-07:002010-05-21T07:21:34.083-07:00Undecided<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2KoJmxegtTOR32yTUeD_gDjshqq45yoOax8UK_pPHiQ9sr2aRpJYPhNAJ341rmzvc3Sv8nLKNVojHE4uQuRD0nT2kweR-Y9f4kC0GUqmdocDzUuso9ndmxaO810L5cfjbl8ZRj0MpcM/s1600/TattooSean95.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2KoJmxegtTOR32yTUeD_gDjshqq45yoOax8UK_pPHiQ9sr2aRpJYPhNAJ341rmzvc3Sv8nLKNVojHE4uQuRD0nT2kweR-Y9f4kC0GUqmdocDzUuso9ndmxaO810L5cfjbl8ZRj0MpcM/s320/TattooSean95.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473726194109203298" border="0" /></a><br />All of my brothers have tattoos, all but my dad out of the guys in our family have tattoos. So im undecided about getting one. I don't want to be 8 in a nursing home and have tattoos all over my trying to look bad ass at age 8, I think that would be embarassing to have a tattoo at age 80 or 60 or 70 and I don't want to regret having something I don't like on my body because that's somthing that will be there until I die. So I'm undecided so far about getting a tattoo for now.12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-50831614067130354072010-05-12T04:55:00.000-07:002010-05-12T04:57:31.126-07:00Night Review<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHPGD4fyBEdfWDUYoChGn6Yo7-IVah_P1BVm2eQMVNuP9qsDyJVqc-TDIDIXnCA1uv0sh8pe-SbpVY39Ax5pp1ByBPFWcVUDGMP-6vc6V9ibcQS6OtY9ysM2Ty5kUVWxtZb0lKylqgs9M/s1600/night_cover_lg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 189px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHPGD4fyBEdfWDUYoChGn6Yo7-IVah_P1BVm2eQMVNuP9qsDyJVqc-TDIDIXnCA1uv0sh8pe-SbpVY39Ax5pp1ByBPFWcVUDGMP-6vc6V9ibcQS6OtY9ysM2Ty5kUVWxtZb0lKylqgs9M/s320/night_cover_lg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470351209105165090" border="0" /></a><br />The book Night written by Elie Wiesel, is a book about the Holocaust during World War II. The book tells you about how the Nazis invaded Jews and wiesel’s neighborhood in Sighet. They were sent to concentration camps and had to abandon there homes becoming refuges. Most of them suffered through four years of agony. They were brutally beaten everyday Elie and his family were in a camp called Auschwitz for a while and families were split apart and people were killed left and right. After a while they moved Auschwitz to a camp called Buchenwald this was a more brutal camp. To get there they had to ride in cattle carts packed with about 100 people. People were petrified of where they were going. When the train stopped the Jews had to run 40 miles and if they stopped they were shot on sight the germans were sabotage. When they got to the camp they saw a huge cremator people looked at it in terror. Elie and his father were split up and could only see each other just before bed time for a very short period of time. Elies father got really sick and was in danger of getting selected as getting cremated. Elies father died. Elie was liberated two weeks later, fatherless.<br /><br />I learned a lot out of this book. I didn’t know as much as I do now about the holocaust now I can see how it could be offensive to some people to say “ i got jewed” or “ that means about as cheap as a jew” and stereo types like that I see how it can be offensive. I could not believe living like Elie did, I’m very fortunate to live in this time and in this country. I understand I have it pretty good compared to a lot of people and I am thankful for that. I defiantly learned a lot out of this book and understand the holocaust now that we read the book Night.<br /><br />picture from: http://www.meredith.edu/summer-reading/images/night_cover_lg.jpg12jk12http://www.blogger.com/profile/08886966902683835972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746526686297355568.post-58471033362678816512010-05-11T11:37:00.000-07:002010-05-11T11:47:40.125-07:00Sandra Cisneros Bio Poem<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiJrx1iT2xl-VJyurLan7TRaHxO43OYX-hMT3FN2BvZpstSwd0J98aNTUr8ybVvhyphenhyphen7bybMmVmXltsCEz_lpx-1nqM-BLNyaW3HA6ph3dWggJjjODpltDLLfZlzjI4SZeHlth4gNAmhGhg/s1600/sandra.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 236px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiJrx1iT2xl-VJyurLan7TRaHxO43OYX-hMT3FN2BvZpstSwd0J98aNTUr8ybVvhyphenhyphen7bybMmVmXltsCEz_lpx-1nqM-BLNyaW3HA6ph3dWggJjjODpltDLLfZlzjI4SZeHlth4gNAmhGhg/s320/sandra.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470083680072312658" border="0" /></a><br />Who is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Cisneros">writer that was born third and the only girl in a family of 7 children.</a><br /><br />Who <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Cisneros">writes about poetry and some of her life.
