Should Young People Limit Fast Food Eating? This movie was atrocious in my opinion. Who would ever put their selves in that position that could possibly kill them?! On top of that he had to do so for one whole MONTH. His diet entirely made out of the food that has a clown on the front of the meal, McDonalds. Yes, this so called “balanced meal” has tricked people into thinking that this crap was made for people who can’t think for themselves to know how stupid it is. About 86% of the food they served at McDonalds is basically the unhealthiest things that you will ever find on this planet. It just blows me away how outrageous it is that these people would serve that to people whom have no sense to ponder over the things that are right under their nose. The thing that gets me is McDonalds tries to cover everything that people have against them and no one else has the guts to up against them. Many young ones want to eat whatever they want and it isn’t healthy for them. At young age you have such a high metabolism that they can eat anything. When they start to eat something like Burger King their metabolism will begin to get lower & lower and it will continue until it is too low that it will be something that you can’t get back easily. Being in shape is an important part of living because if just over weight for the rest of your life it’s going to be extremely hard to get around to the places that you need to go. I know from experience that being overweight was never fun for one thing that is a fact. I tried doing the things couldn’t then. Couple of years later I put more muscle on and lost about 30bls. How did I do it? By eating right, exercising, and staying away “Murder King”. Just don’t eat it, is it that hard?!

I was reading my book and I found out so many very interesting things. For example, one of the scientist was in New Mexico trying to find fossils. By the way this was in 1989. So he was looking for fossils and when he was digging he found foot prints and bones at that same moment, but in different places. And the footprints matched the foot of the animal. He thought to himself that there is no way that this can be a coincidence. And he did a lot of research to find out what happened to this animal. When he had analyzed the fossils he was able to create a computerized version to what happened. So when he watched the video, the asteroid hit a couple of miles away from the creature and the blast was able to blast him away.

 * 1) I really wouldn't want to because, one he is dead. Two, I like poems that interest me, but not like that. I don't like to read that much.
 * 2) The speaker said that he wanted to be like a flower & an elder.
 * 3) The poet said that he wouldn't be anyone except for himself.
 * 4) I really enjoyed the poems but yet I feel confused of what the poems are trying to tell me. I know that it is about the person, but what do I get out of it?

===The reason I chose respect as character trait because it is a skill that you learn when you’re young. Respect is the type of quality that gives someone obedience when asked for something it is given to them without question. But many teen at their age forget to give the respect that is due to the people that give them what they need to survive. And their lucky to have people like that (moms & dads).They do this because they appreciate what is given to them because they always want the new, best, awesomeness, thing they see and they crave it thinking about it every day. Then once Johnny boy gets his new thing now he wants the iPhone 17soi and he no longer has that connection with his iPhone 16ss. And teens don’t even know how good they have it, because people in Haiti, Africa, Brazil, and many more places have close to nothing and s if someone was to give them more food than they could image they would be serving him like a God. While you’re on your smart phone think of what your parents have done for you and other people in your life and be respectful & appreciative for what they’ve done. Then say, “Thank you.” ===

====There is a 12,600 year old skeleton of a Native American infant!! The discovery of these ancient bones was,**"****accidentally",** found in 1968. What is now Montana, someone just happens to stumble over them. But scientist were able to find out the age of the dead infant by sequencing the genomes. By the way his was between 1 to 1 1/2 years old. So I leave you with this question. Is this moth amazing thing that you have ever heard of!? Or is this one of these"I don't care and I will never care!", moments?====

=03/12/14:Newsela #1= ===Stink bugs are disgusting ,highly territorial, and they stink! They make any fruit they see they will mark their territory so no other bug can eat it while they're gone doing something else. Meaning if you have a farm and its infested with stink bugs you won't be able to grow any fruit. Because every fruit that you produce will most likely be infected with a stink bug juice. Thus it might be toxic to humans. But they have found a solution to that problem and might just work.===

Its been 2 years since Darry and Johnny's funeral. My life just hasn't been the same without them, not having your best from the 2nd grade just all of a sudden disappear out of no where feels weird. Two-bit and I have been hangin out together with Cheery and her friends. Next time we hag out I'm going to ask her out. Hopefully she says and I don't get rejected like I did the other girls I've asked out.Darry, Soda, and myself still can't over the fact that Johnny & Dally are gone. It just isn't fair.

I wish that it was me who had died and not Johnny. I knew I shouldn't have saved those kids. But they had something to live for. They still had things to do, things to see, feel, hear. I still remember those exact words that Johnny had told,"Stay golden Pony, stay golden." When I say him dead I felt to, I couldn't feel any thing. It was all too much to take in, then having Dally die on the same night was unbearable. Not having anything to do but school and a girlfriend is boring.

Darry was able to save up enough money to buy a new house and get a new job for Soda. I felt happy for both of them but I had no one to tell but Cheery & Two-bit. Now that the war between socs. and greasers was over ever since the rumble went down everything was calm for once. When Johnny left me that note in //Gone With the Wind// I was ale to finish it before the funerals. And yet I keep on reading it. There was some thing about it that made me want to keep reading it and reading it. Every time I read it I found out something new each and every time.

The worst part about having both of my friends die is the emotional breakdowns that I always have over both deaths. Now lately I've been seeing a therapist for about 3 months now. And I'm getting no where with her she is always on her computer and doing god knows what on there. But I don't know why I haven't told Darry about it. It maybe that I'm afraid of him so much from what happened last time.

"Hey Cheery how are you doin?" "I'm doing pretty good, you?" " Oh, you know same old same old. So I was thinkin that we could go out some time?" Sure pony I would love that, pick me up at 9:30?" "Defiantly, see you at 9:30.

//The Outsiders// to me in the beginning of the story it sound so corny and cheesy and it was so boring and didn't want to read it any more. One side note S.E Hinton needs come up with better beginnings. It was not at all interesting. Two why have two people die instead of just one person, because in almost every movie and book they have one person die not two. So whats up with that. I know its called the //Outsiders//,but come on man!

But when I started the half of the book I was deep into it and I couldn't pull my eyes away from the pages. When Johnny had die the atmosphere of the book had been changed. It was so dramatic to hear Ponyboy's thoughts and to see what was happening inside his mind. What would you do if you were in Ponyboy's shoes? Then when him and Johnny went through that burning building oh my goodness! it was so intense!!!

02/27/14
The story can't end like that having Johnny just die like that. There needs to be some more meet to the story, otherwise why make the story if it ends on that note. But I would make more dramatic ending. I'd have the rumble towards the end of the book, then have someone else die like Dally then have him say,"Its OK guys I've lived a long horrible life but you two have changed me so much,and I want to thank you for being true friends of mine." Doesn't that just want to cry a river?! There is so much life and feeling into all of those words. That is what would get the readers attention. Then I would make another book.

=02/18/14= 6th grade and 7th grade are very unlike & a like. I say that because when I was I in 6th grade I thought some parts of it were easier than others. But I hated the fact that I had to do spelling test & work all the time! And I couldn't keep up with it. Also we had to do the spelling words in 4 different ways. But 7th started out easy, but then the stack of homework piled on & on. And P.E everyday sounded hard but I've gotten used to it and doesn't seem that hard. But next year it will get harder

=02/5/14 __Tuesday's & Monday's Hw__= =Symbol-one Paragraph:= ===One big symbol is the ring that the NBA finals that only one team can win that ring. That ring symbolizes the team that won are the champions of that season of basketball. Not bragging but we all know that the Heat were the champions **2** times in a row, just saying. But yeah that is exactly what the ring and trophy symbolizes.===

=Four Word Context:= > === ===
 * 1) Reformatory: Rebuilding something that was destroyed.
 * 2) Bewildering: Sending a chill up your spine.
 * 1) Corn-poney: Something corny.
 * 2) Premonition: When you have a job and you get hire pay and higher position of work.

01/27 What I'm going to do this semester is do all of my work. The way I'm going do that, is a mystery. I say that because I know that I can work very hard but I always slack off. That is why I had 2 C's, one D, and 3 B's last semester. For one thing I know I'm going to do an awesome job this time so me and my family can be proud.

So if I turn in all of my work I will be able to keep the A's that I now have. And by focusing on my work it will be even easier to get E's for my citizenship grade. P.E will be easy to get an E because all we have to do is not get any loaners or chew gum, which I never do anyway. So I think that semester will be easy. Now, time to go to work.

=__LATE WORK__= POV 2p 9/20/13 The view that I'm doing is the wolverine. This animal is not the monster that every body claims to think. It is actually a very playful & helpful animal. I say that because when I was watching animal planet and this guy watches and studies how animals act in the wild. When he was doing a documentation of the wolverine. It taught me that it is what is in the inside that counts.

 * 1) I had this friend when I lived in Washington D.C my best friend, Jalen, for three years in elementary school had found out that his family were filthy rich and the next day he was so changed. And weeks later he forgot all about me.
 * 2) When a person gets a opportunity like my friend did. They are only focused on the things they are going to do with their money.
 * 3) The two are similar because you have some people that whenever you're in some trouble you have your gang or family in a sense, to back you so you aren't alone in that situation.
 * 4) A hero is someone takes the risk of their own life to save another. But to be a hero you have to do that to be a hero, police etc. or not.
 * 5) Person who doesn't belong in a particular group.

12/18 > That is just terrible to say to his nephew. > b.) Jacob doesn't like Scrooge o the person he is. c.) I couldn't find any evidence. b.) The one when he sees himself as a young man talking to his lost love is happy. When he breaks up with his loved one is sad. c.) He wants to denying the fact that these lessons are useful but when the 2nd & 3rd ghosts tell/show him something he does want those things to occur. 4.)
 * 1) Its when he said,"I rather be dead than be with your family!", because aren't you suppose to spend time with family,even on Christmas?!
 * 1) a.) Jacob Marley is one of Scrooge's spectators.
 * 1) a.)Scene 5

12/10 You've seen the movie // Christmas Carol // right? OK. There were three stages to Mr. Scrooge. First, Scroogie over here was totally being unbelievably rude to the poor when he said,"Aren't there prisons, store houses, shelters?" Also,"My taxes should be enough to support the poor."

Second, Mr.S feels guilt for what he has done and said to people. For example, one of his employee's son was waiting for his father & Scrooge and when the 2nd ghost told him that the boy would die,"Why does he have to die, why not someone else?' ghost said,"Put it will be like the decrease in the population, isn't that what you wanted?"

Third, he becomes all nice like a panda eating bamboo. He bought a turkey the size of a 7 year-old child for his employee. Then he donated lots of money to a charity. So this guy went from Mr. Grumpy to LOL :).

12/9 The connection that I got from //The Pearl & Christmas Carol was rich people don't care about the poor.// For example, in //The Pearl// the doctor called Kino & Juana both animals when he said,"I'm a doctor not a veterinarian."

"Well aren't there workhouses, shelters, factories to put the poor in?" said Scrooge in //The Christmas Carol.//

So do agree with me that rich people think that they are everything & being rich makes them all that because they don't have to do any hard work. They have no idea that people that aren't rich have to do lots of hard work to get by. True or False?

12/6 Mr. Scrooge is the most rude person I've ever seen. For example, when two people cam up to him and said," You don't know us."

And Scrooge said," Nor do I want to." You have to admit that was pretty rude. Just thinking of that is rude. I mean would **you** say that to a person that knew but you didn't? I think you wouldn't.

12/3 They always say that the book is better than the movie. But I beg to differ on that. The //Hunger Games// was better than than book 'cause you have to admit that its better to actually see whats happening than visualizing it in your head. So being able to see the book (movie) with your own eyes is coming to life and its just amazing. Question: which one do you think is better.

12/2
 * 1) Your statement is very __logical__ Mr. Pena. Mrs. Welch, your argument.

 * 3) James, what did you __infer__ from the evidence you gathered from the book?

 * 5) Why do you always have to give advice in a __metaphoric__ way?
 * 6) This is awesome! We were able to __synthesize__ an antidote for any snake bite, including the black mamba.
 * 7) __Apostroph____e__ is to abbreviate a very long word.
 * 8) Well if you read the book, what was the theme of it?
 * 9) To answer your question the __literature__ was about how the cowboys in the story killed the Indianans.
 * 1) To answer your question the __literature__ was about how the cowboys in the story killed the Indianans.

11/20 Batman Arkham Origans is finely detailed because of it being able to tell the story of how batman became the dark knight. So the 8 assassins I told you about in my journal names all of them. And each assassin has their own way of how they're going to kill batman. One of them might use strength or guns or skill or maybe even all three. There will be some side missions that you have to put up with but either way you still have do them. But your main focus is to stop those assassins and save Gotham.

10/24 I think that the paw will come to life and it would be like the the movie //Aladdin. Except it being a little bit more mature and a lot less kid-like. That's my prediction for "The Monkey's Paw."//

10/21 " Come on Duke, don't slow down or he's going to.......AHH!!! "Sara!!!" How about we start this story from the beginning, shall we. It all started when we went camping in the Yosemite National Park. Me (Duke), Sara, Josh, and Lora were on a peaceful camping trip. But that very night when I was cooking some burgers on the grill all I saw something shiny off the moons light in the tree and at lightning speed it came out and stabbed Josh and took him in the tree.We were all scared. "What was that?," Lora said."I don't know Lora," I said. Then another one took Lora in to the bushes. Then a voice said" I am Ra's' al Ghul, I am the destroyer of lives and I come here now to kill anyone whom dares to step in this sacred ground." "And now you all will pay with your lives!!!" Then out of no where Ra's' al Ghul comes out and chases me and Sara. Then Sara says to me,"Come on Duke, don't slow down or he's going to.......AHA" "Sara!!!!!" She tries to fight Ra's' al Ghul is pulling her as the hook on his rope is in Sara's arm and she takes the hook out of her arm and I throw a big rock at Ra's' and by the time he falls to the ground me and Sara are sprinting as fast as we can to the nearest road and call for help on my cellphone. When the ambulance came a ninja star comes and hit the driver in the head then the ambulance truck flips over me & Sara to the other side of us. Sara sees Ra's' jump a yard in front of us and I see that the great assassin Ra's' al Ghul is blind. So I think to myself that if can't see us, then how does he keep finding us? So I ask him,"How can you find us if you can't see us, and why are you doing this to us?" He answers,"I do this because I am tired of how people treat the forest and don't clean up after themselves as I trained with the true master, I come back to find my once beautiful home destroyed. And as for your other question, yes I am blind but when I was training I learned how to sense another persons fear. For example, when your friend heard something that spiked her fear so I struck." "And now you and your friend will die in these woods and I'll hang all four of you for those whom dares to trespass in this sacred ground will beware." "NOW DIE!!!" So as he comes up to me I start to crap my pants because I was so scared. Then he starts to hit my arm raptly as I'm trying to hit him, then I realize that I can't move my right arm any more. And before I can even look Ra's' he kicks me right in my jaw and I fall flat on the ground. I'm starting to that me and Sara are going to die. Once he saw me on the ground he goes for Sara. I didn't want Sara to die, so I mustered up all of my strength to make sure that Sara would not die in front me. And I tackle the assassin and say "YOU GONNA LEARN TADAY!!!!!!" When I tackle Ra's I managed to land a couple of plows to the face. But that moment lasted only 12 seconds, then he kicked me off of him. He draws out his sword and out of no where I see Sara shoots him with a shot gun and it blows him away 4 feet! "You did learn taday, you jerk.!" "You don't know what you just started there are more assassins just like me (coughing). When they find out who killed they will find you and kill you both." And from that day forward we know that there are assassins out there. And we will be ready for them.

10/17 Hey my name is Nail Armstrong this is my life. "What is up bro!", that is my brother James, "Hey Army" and Ricardo is my other bro. The three of us go to the same school which would be Innovation Middle School. Me and Ricardo are roughly the same age so we are both in 8th grade and James is in 7th. I'm 14 and older than Ricardo by 1 day. "James, can you pass me the bacon and pancakes,please?" "Sure thing Ricky." "Boys, you better hurry up or you're going to be late for school," said mom. "Yes mam," we all said. Later.

9/18 The animal that I'm viewing is the wolverine. This healing factor beast isn't so viscous after all. It is anything but a beast, but instead it is very playful, helping, & a protective mother. It is very interesting how mean looking animal has very fast healing abilities, able to dig animals that have been hit by an avalanche. They use their big claws to dig and pull the dead corps from the snow.

Did you know that? What would take a human 5

10/15 I don't think that steroids should be taken by kids & teens. It's not right for a teenager to be taking a performance enhancing drug that can cause lot to the person injecting themselves with a drug. Steroids can cause cancer, achene all over, uncontrollable rage, and many other things that very bad for people's health. And it's illegal to do so. Plus those whom are trying to get into the NFL, the NBA, or the Olympics you can't be doping or doing steroids. Because many people were doing this drug to make their performance better also to make themselves look good, but sooner or later those athletes came clean and said that they were doing drugs. So the choice is up to you, if you want to do steroids then go on right ahead because I really don't care.
