Stay Alive

Stay Alive is a realistic fiction book written by Joseph Menninger who also makes a lot of other books based on the Stay Alive series. This book is about a group of people that are stranded on a island after their plane crashed so they need to stay alive with limited supplies while one part of the group wants to do one thing and the other group want to do the other.My favorite part about this book is seeing how they adapt to the island by making shelter for their protection because me myself am a Boy Scout so I go camping a lot and we have to set up tents and make fires. The group were a bunch of kids the were on a tv show that had an unfortunate event that lead them to crash on what looked like a deserted island. I liked this book because it showed that any thing is possible if you work as a team.

                                   Brave                  11/16/17

Brave is a graphic novel by Svetlana . C witch is a series to another book called Akward witch is also a good book and I really recommend it  because it teaches you how to work together as a group.

              Brave is about a boy name Jensen who is a victim of bullying. But things get worse when math is getting hard,getting along with friends is hard, and picking a partner for a class project is hard since he’s the last one to get picked. My favorite part in the book is when he starts daydreaming about what his life will look like because he talks about zombies and the drawings are really cool.

                I like this book because it teaches you life lessons like what to do if your being bulled or even how to make friends. I would recommend this book because it’s really funny but at the same time it could be very emotional because sometimes you can relate to what’s happening in the book. 

Quarter 1 reflection

Quarter 1 has been really good for me and I like all of my classes because all of my teachers are really nice and my class mates are really nice and my grades are average right now. Somethings that I could improve for next quarter is to set more goals for my classes so I could achieve them. Another thing I could improve is participating more in class. I don’t really do any sports and don’t plan to because I usually have a job after school so I don’t really have time for any after school activity’s  and that is really all that I have for my quarter 1.

Movie and book comparisons

The Outsiders book and movie have a lot of differences and similarities. Some differences between the book and the movie are when pony,Johnny,and Dally meet Cherry and Marcia that happens a little later in the book but in the movie it happened in the beginning. Another difference is in the book it told us that Johnny was older then Ponyboy and in the movie Ponyboy looked older for some reason.
      In the book-movie there was also some similarities like when Johnny died it said that a beam holding up the church hit him on the back and the whole thing fell and the exact same thing happened in the movie it showed that a beam hit him and the church fell. Another similarity is when Johnny killed the Soc in the book it said that it happened in the park by the fountain and that was the scene in the movie.  I think that the actors really played their parts and they played the emotions from the book and the movie was surprisingly really close to the book.

Connections between outsiders and poem

We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late.We Strike straight.We Sing sin.WeThingin. We Jazz June. We Die soon. The connection between the two stories is that they are like a gang and all things that has happened to them. like people die or they left school and this is connected because in the poem (we left school) This idea is telling us that they believe they are so cool that they don’t need school so they left.This related to the Outsiders because Soda also dropped out of school because he needed to help his family so he also thought he did not need school. Also the part (We die soon) This means that they die at a very young age because they make dangerous decisions. This is related to the Outsiders because when Dallas made the decision to rob the store he got shot and died and with Johnny he decided to save the little kids and risk his life. With my thoughts I think that when the poem says (we thin gin) it reminds me of when ponyboy and Johnny almost got beat up by the socs when they were drunk and one of the socs died.

In Ten Years

In ten years I want to have a well paying job as a carpenter building houses so I can provide for my self with every day items. I also want to be an uncle from one of my three sisters or my brother so I can have a nephew to look up to me. Another thing that I hope to have in ten years is to be living on my own with my cat and maybe someone to live with. Lastly I want to own a red stick shift mustang to drive around with for every day tasks.

Remix

It was the afternoon and I am sitting on my couch with two of my sisters when I hear the door starting to open so I race to the front of my house and its my dad. I had told him about Octoberfest in Berwyn and of course he said yes because he is the coolest dad ever but he did have to get ready. After him getting ready witch felt like four hours we were ready and started to make our way to Octobefest.

When we got in line for the tickets the line was a mile long so we had to wait even longer  meanwhile my mom and dad went completely on the other side so it was just me and me two sisters. We started to make our way to the biggest ride there The Remix and I was waiting my whole childhood to get on this ride because I was always too small but not this year because I was finally tall enough. I was in the line with my two sisters and my hands started sweating my stomach was getting butterflies and I was so nervous but at the same time I was so excited. We had gotten on the ride and the man had started the ride and I look at my sister and she is smiling and laughing so I started to think that it won't be so bad but when the ride had started to move it was not ok because I immediately started to panic and the ride starting going faster and faster and after 10 seconds I started loving it and one the ride was over I went on the ride again. This was one of the happiness moments of my life.
