Some sports that young people play are getting dangerous. A mother stated “If I say anything about my daughters soccer plays she would kill me”. I think these sports are getting a little bit too competitive. Some people pay thousands of dollars on team fees.

3/21/14 The military has made a prototype of a iron man suit. The suit will allow any one who is wearing it to have super strength. It will also allow whoever is wearing the suit will be able to jump very high. The suit will also be able to lift 100 pounds without strain, and it will be able to treat minor wounds. The military is hoping to have a fully functioning suit within the next 12 months. The military is working with the U.S. special operations to make the suit. The military thinks this suit will change how we fight for many years to come.

Some of the differences between the book and the movie The Outsiders are. In the book Randy and PonyBoy talk about Bob a lot and Randy talks about how Bob was never told no. In the movie Randy talks about Bob a little. In the book they go to court with the judge. In the movie they never go to court. In the book it just says Dally robbed a grocery store. In the movie it shows the cashier having a gun and shooting at Dally. These are some of the differences of how the book The Outsiders and the movie The Outsider are different.

2/27/14 I think an ending for The Outsiders would be, if PonyBoy walks out of their house one day to go to the church. He then gets jumped by three Socs that are really strong. Then his brother heard PonyBoy scream and came running down the street. His brother would then see PonyBoy hung on a wall with a nail through his forehead. There would be a note attached to the nail. It would say we finally got him back for killing our leader.

I also think another way for The Outsiders to end could be, if PonyBoy turned into a really tough guy and become the Greasers leader. After PonyBoy turned tough he would then walk up to the Socs hang out and kill all of the Socs. Then PonyBoy would come home all drenched in blood and would sit down on his bed. He would then take a gun and say "I wish Johnny would have never died", then he would pull the trigger.

2/26/14 In the first half of my school day I started my day with first period. In my first period I have ASB. In ASB today I went to Innovation Middle School and talked about the changes that there would be in high school. In my second period I have Science. In Science today I was taught that there is more than one cell in an animal. In my third period I have English. In English today I learned that you don't put a comma before the word and. In my forth period I have Math. In Math today I learned about scatter plots.

In the second half of my school day I came back from lunch with fifth period. In my fifth period I had an awesome assembly. This assembly was about a fundraiser. If you sell 30 things you have a chance to win forty thousand dollars for the school. In my sixth period I have World History. In World History today we learned about the country Canada. In my seventh period I have PE. In PE today I ran a mile. My mile time was eight minutes. This mile run will be on my permanent record. This is what I did today in school.

2/25/14 In the story "The Monkey's Paw", Sergeant Major Morris foreshadows the bad luck that the monkey paw would bring. When the White family asked how to use it, Sergeant Major Morris replied saying "Hold it up with your right hand and wish aloud, but I warn you of the consequences." When Herbert White stopped the monkey's paw from burning into the fire Morris said "Better let it burn". Morris also says "Pitch it on the fire, like a sensible man" when Herbert White asked to have it. These are some of the ways on how Sergeant Major Morris was trying to prevent anyone else from having misfortune by trying to burn the monkey's paw.

In 20 years I can see myself with a job. My job will be working as a lineman. A lineman is a person who fixes the electricity lines. I want this job because I want to fix wires for a living. In 20 years I will also have a car. The car that I will have would be a Dodge Charger. I want a Dodge Charger because I think they look really cool, they are fast, and reliable.

In 20 years I will have a six bedroom, five bath house. It will be a house with two flights of stairs. I will also have a wife and two kids. I would have an iPhone 5, 4 computers, and 4 laptops. I will live in San Diego were I was raised. This is what I will have in 20 years.

1/27/14 One of my two goals this semester is trying to improve how I write my journals. A way that I can improve my journals is I can try to write longer. I would focus more and as a result I will write more words. Another way that I can write more words is I can pick a topic that interests me so I can write more about the topic. I really want to write more words because I think that will make me a better writer.

The second goal that I would like to make for the second semester is pay more attention in class. A way that I could improve the way that I pay attention in class is when my piers talk to me I can ignore them so I won't get trouble like they are going to. Another way that I can pay attention more in class is when the teacher says it's time to open your books I'm not still using the computer. I want to pay attention more because I think it is going to raise my grade.

When Kino first got the pearl he suddenly just started thinking of himself and how to only benefit his family. He didn't think of his brother and he didn't think of his neighbors just his wife and kid. Kino also strikes his wife when she tries to get rid of the pearl. Kino's wife tried to throw the pearl into the ocean. She tried to do this because she thought it was evil and bringing misfortune to their family. They were a happy couple before the pearl now Kino is beating his own wife.

Another reason why I think money can change people is a theme for the pearl is because when a man tried to take the pearl from Kino, he killed the man. Kino slit the throat of that man and killed him. Before they found the pearl, Kino had never harmed any man but now he was a killer. Kino dragged the man's body into the bushes to hide the body from the neighbors. The pearl also made Kino and Juana really depressed because their son is dead. The men that were chasing Kino and Juana shot their son in his head.<range type="comment" id="471157340_4"> These are some of the reasons why<range type="comment" id="471157340_3"> I think </range id="471157340_3">money can change people is a theme from The Pearl.</range id="471157340_4">

1. Doping is banned in professional sports because if you are doping you are just a cheater. I think doping is illegal because doping hurts your body and mind.

2. Some evidence that proves that steroid use is bad is in both boys and girls, steroids can cause extreme acne on the face, back, and chest. It can also cause permanent baldness, stunted growth, liver damage, cancer, and even heart disease.

3. A Dangerous quest talks about athletes and trying to get a competitive edge. Muscle Mania talks about people wanting to only increase muscle mass.

4. Maverrickcrash implies that people should grow up and take steroids. I disagree with Maverickcrash because I think you don't need to have big muscles to be a man.

5. I think the central idea of No Miracles is to get big muscles you don't need to take steroids.

1. Yes, I do think that celebrities are responsible for body obsession among kids. I think this because in the article it says singers like Justin Bieber and Usher strut shirtless onstage showing off their chiseled abs. I think a lot of people try to be as perfect looking as these people so that leads to body obsession.

2. I think to red use steroid use among young people maybe you could take peoples blood to see if they are using steroids. If they are maybe they can be tested to see where they got it from. Maybe when people know they are going to be tested maybe they wouldn't use the steroids.

In my seventh period I have PE. In PE today I ran a mile. My mile time was eight minutes. This mile run will be on my permanent record. This is what I did today in school.

2/25/14 In the story "The Monkey's Paw", Sergeant Major Morris foreshadows the bad luck that the monkey paw would bring. When the White family asked how to use it, Sergeant Major Morris replied saying "Hold it up with your right hand and wish aloud, but I warn you of the consequences." When Herbert White stopped the monkey's paw from burning into the fire Morris said "Better let it burn". Morris also says "Pitch it on the fire, like a sensible man" when Herbert White asked to have it. These are some of the ways on how Sergeant Major Morris was trying to prevent anyone else from having misfortune by trying to burn the monkey's paw.

In 20 years I can see myself with a job. My job will be working as a lineman. A lineman is a person who fixes the electricity lines. I want this job because I want to fix wires for a living. In 20 years I will also have a car. The car that I will have would be a Dodge Charger. I want a Dodge Charger because I think they look really cool, they are fast, and reliable.

In 20 years I will have a six bedroom, five bath house. It will be a house with two flights of stairs. I will also have a wife and two kids. I would have an iPhone 5, 4 computers, and 4 laptops. I will live in San Diego were I was raised. This is what I will have in 20 years.

1/27/14 One of my two goals this semester is trying to improve how I write my journals. A way that I can improve my journals is I can try to write longer. I would focus more and as a result I will write more words. Another way that I can write more words is I can pick a topic that interests me so I can write more about the topic. I really want to write more words because I think that will make me a better writer.

The second goal that I would like to make for the second semester is pay more attention in class. A way that I could improve the way that I pay attention in class is when my piers talk to me I can ignore them so I won't get trouble like they are going to. Another way that I can pay attention more in class is when the teacher says it's time to open your books I'm not still using the computer. I want to pay attention more because I think it is going to raise my grade.

11/21/13 The Pearl Literature Analysis

One of the themes of The Pearl is that money can change people. When Kino first got the pearl he suddenly just started thinking of himself and how to only benefit his family. He didn't think of his brother and he didn't think of his neighbors just his wife and kid. Kino also strikes his wife when she tries to get rid of the pearl. Kino's wife tried to throw the pearl into the ocean. She tried to do this because she thought it was evil and bringing misfortune to their family. They were a happy couple before the pearl now Kino is beating his own wife.

Another reason why I think money can change people is a theme for the pearl is because when a man tried to take the pearl from Kino, he killed the man. Kino slit the throat of that man and killed him. Before they found the pearl, Kino had never harmed any man but now he was a killer. Kino dragged the man's body into the bushes to hide the body from the neighbors. The pearl also made Kino and Juana really depressed because their son is dead. The men that were chasing Kino and Juana shot their son in his head. These are some of the reasons why I think money can change people is a theme from The Pearl.

Review of story

Deon’s story was about Deon, Jimmy and Tommy. They were walking in the woods and saw dead bodies all over. So they ran away then they lost Jimmy. Then later they found Jimmy then they went home. I think this story could use some more dialogue.

A monster is a fiend.

It was ghastly when my Xbox broke.

I was perplexed at the food bill.

A used to have spasms.

Dying to be strong Reading Questions

1. Doping is banned in professional sports because if you are doping you are just a cheater. I think doping is illegal because doping hurts your body and mind.

2. Some evidence that proves that steroid use is bad is in both boys and girls, steroids can cause extreme acne on the face, back, and chest. It can also cause permanent baldness, stunted growth, liver damage, cancer, and even heart disease.

3. A Dangerous quest talks about athletes and trying to get a competitive edge. Muscle Mania talks about people wanting to only increase muscle mass.

4. Maverrickcrash implies that people should grow up and take steroids. I disagree with Maverickcrash because I think you don't need to have big muscles to be a man.

5. I think the central idea of No Miracles is to get big muscles you don't need to take steroids.

1. Yes, I do think that celebrities are responsible for body obsession among kids. I think this because in the article it says singers like Justin Bieber and Usher strut shirtless onstage showing off their chiseled abs. I think a lot of people try to be as perfect looking as these people so that leads to body obsession.

2. I think to red use steroid use among young people maybe you could take peoples blood to see if they are using steroids. If they are maybe they can be tested to see where they got it from. Maybe when people know they are going to be tested maybe they wouldn't use the steroids.

I live in Clermont. I use to go to Lindbergh Elementary. Before coming to Innovation Middle School. I went to Lindbergh for seven years.

One thing that I did this summer was I played on my Xbox 360 it was awesome just playing with my friends for a few months. The games that I played were dead rising 2,Minecraft, and Black ops 2.It was so fun. In black ops 2 the main goal is to kill your enemy.
