4/28/14 Alyssa’s House!!! Ok so I went over to my friend Alyssa’s house yesterday and it was a turn up! We were kicking it with her brother Rex and two of his friends, which one happened to be his girlfriend. His friend Malcolm was being dumb and saying dumb stuff then he tripped and got up and started to twerk. Him twerking had me laughing for days. Alyssa and I finally stopped hanging out with Rex, Malcolm, and Barbra and we where planning on going to the Clairmont Square, but my dad came and picked me up before we could leave. words:101

Today I read my book //Dead and Gone.// I only got through the first nine pages, but so far I have found plenty of information about the main character Mike. A man named Riel who has a completely different perspective on life adopted Mike. Riel is a clean living kind of person and Mike is a free will to anything as going. At the beginning of the story Mike had just got out of jail and had to do community service for a man much like Riel. The man’s name was Mr. Henderson and he was a clean freak as was Riel. Everywhere Mike went he felt like he was cleaning 24/7. 4/23/14 I read a story called //The Night the Bed Fell.// I didn't really get into the story I hope to read it tonight.

4/21/14 I got a 95% on my prefixes test. I only got 1 wrong and that brought my score down to a 95%.

4/16/14 SOCCER PRACTICE TODAY!!! Today I have soccer practice and Sheila and Alan are coming!!! I am really excited because then we can hang out after practice is over. I started soccer I don't know how long ago, but it is my passion. I am constantly kicking a soccer ball around my room, backyard, front yard, and living room. The last mistake I made with a soccer ball was breaking my moms favorite stain glass cover for our fireplace. Then I kicked the ball and accidentally hit my puppy in the face and that's when she started to hate soccer balls, because when I would make a goal and try to kick it in she would always try to block it like a goalie. The last mistake I made was to hit my coach in the face when I kicked it with all my power. Today's soccer practice should be good because my cousin, Alan, and my grandma are coming. My soccer team is full of people I love and it takes my mind off crap that happened at school with is what happens almost everyday. I can't wait till my soccer practice to day it's going to be an amazing time with the people I love. words: 207 4/14/14 How I Would Rate Their Blogs Compared to Ours I would rate their blog a 1out of 10... They don’t know how to spell, capitalize, use punctuation, start paragraphs, or get into detail. I would rate our blog a 9 out of 10. We know how to spell, capitalize, use punctuation, start paragraph, and get into detail.

3/21/14 Where and When I Would Go Back In Time... If I could go back in time I would go to December 9th, 2013, California Adventures at 6:30. I would go back then because me and my Tio went on two of the most fun rides at California Adventures and they were call Tower of Terror and Screamin'. It was such an amazing time and one of my favorite times with my Tio that I can remember. To be completely honest I felt bad for my Tio because he was scared on Tower of Terror, which really isn't scary... TO BE CONTINUED... When I realized my Tio was scared I made him more scared by... tapping him when the ghosts came out and it got pitch black... He started to scream and it was hilarious. It was so funny that when I got off the ride it looked like I cried because I laughed so hard!! My little sister was laughing after I told her the story and called my Tio a baby… but that is when my Tio went off on her. He said “Shut up! You didn’t even have the balls to get on the ride, so who’s the baby now?” My little sister started to cry and slapped him so we had to go home… and that’s the end of the story.

3/20/14 Kid Inks Girl Ok. I am completely in love with Kid Ink. He is SO amazing. he raps like a boss... Welp I am so bored like no lie! We have a sub (Ms. James) she is my favorite sub ever! She is so chill! I am not sure why Mr.Moss isn't here, I forgot. Writing makes me want to fall asleep. Ugh I can't wait for journal time to be over, so that she can decide if we can do photo shop. Welp bye. 3/17/14 OMG!!! I'm bored! I am constantly bored because I am not aloud out of my room... I get "in trouble" too much is what my dad says, but my mom is chill and she let's me act my age... on the other hand my dad treats me like a five year old... and its getting really old. Anyways yeah I am bored and I hope today and tomorrow never end because I have to go back to my dads on Wednesday. My Tutors My tutors live in the apartment below me and it is easy access when they are home to get help when I need it. I have tutors for math, English, science, and I need one for history... But my tutors are young so they make things fun while tutoring me. For example my last nights tutoring, we had a lot of fun. We invited friends over and we cracked jokes and had pizza while I was doing my homework.

The Differences Between The Outsiders Book and the Movie Version There are some important differences between the book and the film versions of //The Outsiders.// First of all, the movie was more dramatic and had a lot more action. They didn’t include as much detail as what was in the book, it actually had more. They also didn't have the part where the clerk tried to shoot him. Also the part when Dally dropped the cigarette.

Happy Birthday Alyssa!!! Ufff... Happy birthday!! You are the bae and the homie... I already gave you a letter I think and if I didn't I will write you one... Well girl... You are so beautiful and I love you... I know people bully you, but always know that you are beautiful and we all love... Don't listen to what any bullies say! Come to me and tell me if anyone bullies you.. Me and you... we thugs haha... just kidding, but we are tight and I can tell you anything... well I'm getting bored so bye!

2/24/14 Last Period. Last period I was with Cronk and Mr.Mason was teaching and it was so fun! we get to draw and graph a bunch of stuff on a graph and it seems like a lot of fun. We started it in class, but I didn't finish much because in the beginning I didn't understand... Now it is fun and I understand it...Well I am bored soooo... Bye!

2/19/14 School is Boring! School is really boring and tiring. By 6th or 7th period I am already starting to fall asleep in my classes... but I manage to stay wake. I think school is boring because all teachers do is talk, talk, talk and then we have hardly anytime for work or they expect us not to talk when they run their flaps all the time and it gets annoying. When they are running their flaps I just want to go to sleep thats how boring it is. There was this one day when I accidentally fell asleep in last period and my teacher sent me out of the room... just because I was sleeping and she was running her flaps. I was so mad, but anyways thats besides the point.. well my writing time is almost up so I'm going to say bye now... Bye.

2/18/14 This Weekend… This weekend was fun because I was kicking it with the homies Naudia, Naomi, Trevion, Isaiah, Eli, Elijah, etc. We kicked it at Target, Marshalls, The Strattons, The basketball courts at The Strattons, the playground at The Strattons, etc. It was fun. We also chilled at the park and other places on top of that. We had a sleepover at Monica’s house. It was the bomb weekend!!!! We had SO much fun!

2/10/14 MY FAVORITE SUBJECT... My favorite subject is Math because Cronk is awesome and he makes math fun... He acts like he hates me, but I know I'm his favorite. Hes my best buddy! I also have a good grade because I stay focused... Some of the time haha.

2/7/14 Their hair was a symbol of a trademark saying we are tough, the boss, etc.

2/3/14,2/4/14 BRONCOS SUCK!!!! The Super Bowl 48 was won by the amazing Seahawks... The Seahawks got 2 interceptions, one safty, and 1 fumble!! It was amazing game for the Seahawks!!! The final score was 48-8 with the Seahawks in the win... At the end of the game they rolled the camera along the benches that the Broncos were sitting on and they were crying while the Seahawks were laughing and cheering with joy... THE BRONCOS SUCK!!!! I was so proud of my boys!!!! I was screaming and celebrating... we stayed up till 5:00 a.m and I only got one hour of sleep.. so I fell asleep in two periods.. and they were in a row... Thats besides the point though.. MY BOYS WON!!!!!

The book //The Outsiders// is a very good book by S.E. Hinton. It’s about three brothers named Ponyboy, Darryl, and Sodapop. I think what will happen next is...

Character Characteristics.... Ponyboy: He is the main character of the story and he is the youngest of the gang he is in called "//Greasers"..// Description: he has light brown almost red hair, greenish-gray eyes, and long hair... The reason I added long hair was because that is basically the main part of the story... The story includes two gangs called... //"The Greasers"// and //"The Socs" ...// The Socs are the guys that are rich and they have their hair up to their ears and they hang out with girls that are decent... The Greasers are the are the gang that is known to be ready for violence with their long slicked back hair and they are from the hood.... and they hang out with the girls that wear to much eye make and don't dress very decent... When you are in a gang bad things happen.... TBC..

My Dogs Traits... My dog has some weird traits... She has traits like... Her nose is almost as flat as her face and that makes it really hard to breath... so she is constantly snoring when she sleeps and then I can't sleep... It irritates the crap out of me!!!! I want to put her outside but then when I do I feel really bad... Her nose completes her face she is the cutest thing I have ever seen... The thing is, is that she is always so hiper so she is always running around the backyard then she comes inside breathing hard and it is SO to watch TV or focus on homework because she follows me around the house and costantly has to be next to me or she will continuously cry and that makes even more noise on top of her breathing.

1/8/14 - 1/15/14

Driving at 12 Years of age? If it was my choice of course I would want to be able to drive… but my question is… is it safe? In my opinion I really don’t think its safe because evidence shows that… “ The estimated economic cost of police-reported crashes involving drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 was $40.8 billion in 2002 says NHTSA.” This evidence is crucial because if people in those ages are crashing imagine 12 year olds driving... that is worry some. Some 12 year olds can't even barely spell so they won't be able to understand the controls and the rules of driving so there would be a lot more crashes on the streets. There is already 98.6% of car crashes and for a 12 year old to be driving the percent of car crashes will rise within 5 days of 12 year olds driving. The upside is that 12 year olds can have freedom… if they want a Happy Meal at McDonalds they can go get one even if they live miles away from a McDonalds and their parents don't want to drive that far. I think that it can benefit you and me, But it can also hurt you and me... If you truly think about kids driving it would be easier on the parent but it can be dangerous for kids... There was a recent story on the news there was 6 people and they were drunk and they came to my grandpas bar called Players and they were drunk and the bartender name staying anonymous (but I know what it is...) gave the 6 men beers because he didn't know they were already drunk and they started to fight and the bartender to the beer away and told them to leave... within 5 minutes of leaving they got in a bad car accident and 3 of them died. The male who was driving was charged with 3 counts of murder. So that what really made me decided that kids shouldn't drive because you make one stupid mistake you can cause lives to be lost... and families not to be complete. There for my final answer to if kids should drive is NO! Never in a million years! I think the age right now is fine to me it should be 18 but the law is 16.

1/7/14 __My Vacation__ My winter vacation was SO fun!!! __First Week:__ BEING CONTINUED... We could see the full beautiful ocean for miles... I felt so relaxed. I just wanted to fall asleep... After that we got out of the train in Oceanside and we walked to the pier and at the end of the pier was a Ruby's so we thought might as well go eat because we hadn't eaten for about 3 to 4 hours. It was so fun because we had to wait to get a spot in the restaurant so we watched over the pier and there were so many anchovies it was crazy... When we got called into eat we were practically sea sick it was awful.... TOO BE CONTINUED... Word Count: 132

1/6/14 __My Vacation__ My winter vacation was SO fun!!! __First Week:__ The first week of my vacation my grandparents came out from North Carolina! We had A LOT of fun! My favorite part was when we went on a train! We went on a train from Old Town to Oceanside… we sat on top of the train and there was a beautiful view!!!! We got a view of the ocean for miles… TOO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!! Word Count: 74

Screamin' There is a roller coaster called //Screamin'//... The roller coaster went upside down and was very bumpy because it was built a very long time ago... It was a fun and scary ride that gets your blood going... My Tio went on it with me and he is so tall that he barley fit under the restraint bar... It he had to slouch really far down to fit under it... It was an hour long line but it was worth the wait... My prima threw up the wait line and the whole way out it was really nasty.... We went on the //Screamin'// twice but the second time it was like it didn't even happen.... Well that's it that's all...

I found some evidence on the crime scene. I infered into the dictionary to find information on turtles. I made an inference and found that whats I said was a fact. I synthesize to make an experament. It was singificant that I didn't forget to do my homework. It was a benefit to have a maid.

Leah Horne Per.3

I think that this poem means that sure money does get you clothes, a house, a car, etc… but what it doesn’t buy is the things that mean the most… personality, love, freedom, immortality, etc… The things that matter most do not cost money… If people like you for your money they are not true to you… Once you run out of money they leave you all together… If they like you for yourself more likely they will stay by your side and never leave you… Money is not everything…

I'm not too young to be trick-or-treating tonight and I'm going to dress up as Dorthy from "Wizard of Oz" and when I go to my neighbor's house, I got Snickers, Skittles, and other candy. It's going to be fun!

The Purge This is a movie about a town that From 7 p.m to 7 a.m everything is legal murder, robbery, everything under the sun is legal. There was this group of people out to kill the only black man in town and there was this family son, father, mother, and sister. The families house would shut down with bulletproof glass and metal would come down around the house. The little boy saw the running black man and yelled come in and let the black man in and shut the house down again. The people who were trying to kill him saw him run in the house and the group threaten the little boy to give him up or they would kill the little boy's family. The dad over heard that and he stabbed the black man and was going to hand him over, but the family told the father what are you doing he is the only black man left in this town we must save him. So the family began to fight off the group and they killed off the group, but dad died he was dead and then... the siren that they were all waiting for went off... THE PURGE WAS OVER!!!!! The black man survived, but father didn't...

Falling Down Cronk's Ramp!!!! K so my last period which was second period I fell down Cronk's ramp. It hurt so bad and people are telling me it's no big deal, but you weren't the one who fell down the ramp were you! Sure you may have fell down a ramp before, but you didn't see how i fell or what made me fall. It made my thumb swollen for almost the whole period. It is feeling better now, but it really did hurt! K well that's all I really have to say. I have nothing else to write about, so yeah....

Rodgers brother Sam gave a speech that he wrote himself and Mr. Jones didn't like it so he said to wait till Thursday, which is two days before Halloween.

Leah Horne Period 3 10/15/13 1. Doping is banned from sports because it causes you to he muscular endurance so that you are better then all of your teammates and because it makes you better then your opponents. Doping is illegal because it causes thoughts of suicide and a lot of rage and rage can lead to some horribly serious.

2. In the paragraph "Fits of Rage" it tells us that steroids cause extreme acne on the face, back and chest. it also causes permanent baldness, stunted growth, liver damage, cancer, and heart disease. It also causes thoughts of suicide and they may fall into a deep depression.

3. In the paragraph "A Dangerous Quest" it states the bad of using steroids and the consequences. Athletes who use steroids and are found using steroids get all trophies or medals taken away and cannot be in the NFL, NBA, baseball, or the Olympics. In the paragraph "Muscle Mania" it states the reasons why people take steroids and that is because they don't want to work to be fit they want to get fit while sitting on the couch. Now they can get it in an easy simple way and they can be a couch potato and that is with steroids. they get amazingly fit in an unhealthy way. they can flaunt their muscles when theare out of the house but on the inside they feel extremely fat.

4. Maverickcrash was implying that big muscles can get you more attention from the girls and that you can get popular easily. No I don't agree because popularity isn't everything and not all girls like guys that are all big and buff and try to act all yeah I am bigger than you and i can get more girls attitude actually that is quit annoying.

5. The central ideas for "No Miracles" is to tell you a nice body doesn't happen over night it takes many hard working days to get muscles. Also that it is healthier to get muscles by working hard rather than sitting on the couch and chewing pills that are unhealthy for you.

6. Yes, because it says in the article that Justin Bieber spends a lot of time showing off his muscles on stage. Girls love Justin Bieber and the guys want the attention from girls how Justin Bieber gets the attention and it makes them want to get buff but not to work for it and it makes them extremely unhealthy.

7.I think that if a star that almost every kid loves got up on stage and told them the effects of using steroids they would re-think using steroids. Like if they told that it causes extreme acne on the face, back, and chest they would think its gross. they could also tell the more mature ones that it may give you thoughts of suicide or deep depression and make them realize how serious that using steroids can be.

Purposes of English Classes So Far

The activities we are learning are helping us learn how to be better in literature and in our future. I also think that Mr. Moss is trying to get us into writing and reading in an amazing way. He is teaching us grammar, punctuation, and how to write complete sentences. I think the purpose of this is to get us better in our future job and to get good grades to be able to get into college and get a great job. I think the reason he is focusing on these topics are because it will help us in our future jobs because if you are filling out a job application and you spell some or most of the words incorrectly the manger will read it and throw it away. You need full sentences for everything weather working or not so people can understand your writing and they can be able to read it too. Punctuation that is the key to a full sentence and good grammar like shes it needs punctuation to have it be good grammar so it would be she’s. Punctuation is the key to full sentences but not to full. Punctuation stops a run on sentence like Hi my name is Leah and I am throwing a party this weekend with a couple of friends we are going to party like rock stars it is 7411 Cannon Ball St. we will have the best time ever so just think about it and get on over here. That was a run on sentence this is the proper way to do it. Hi my name is Leah! I am going to throw a party this weekend with a couple of friends. We are going to party like rock stars! It is 7411 Cannon Ball St. We will have the best time ever so just think about it and get on over here!

That is the importance of what we are learning in English and why we are getting these things taught to us! English is a big part of your life don’t ruin it and not care, be smart!

Polstergyst

Ok so this weekend I watched a movie called //Polstergyst//. This movie was SO scary, but I couldn’t show I was scared because I was with a bunch of my 18 year old friends! Even though they were mostly guys I was so happy that my friend Jay jumped first! I got scared the most when a girl came out of the gutter bloody but I won’t go into details because it is gross and creepy. My friend Jasmine almost peed her pants literally! It was SO funny when she tapped my shoulder and said, “ I almost peed my pants!” I laughed so hard! It was SO fun! I hope I can do it again!

What would you do if someone just gave you $1 million? By Leah Horne If someone just gave me a million dollars first I would ask if he robbed it (even though I really don’t care.) Then I would just probably run to the mall and like scream “HALELUJAHA!” and shop till I can’t fit anything else in my closet. After with my leftover money I would buy a Hollister and a Forever 21. Next I would buy a extremely nice huge house.

My favorite movies are the //Wizard of Oz//, //Harry Potter//, //Deathly Hollows,// and the //Princess and the Pea//. I also watched //Charlie and the Chocolate Factory// when I was visiting New York City.

//Yesterday, Uncle Bob and I went to a movie called// //An American Werewolf in London.// We went to the Chuck E. Cheese in Los Angeles. We played Mario Kart on Nintendo Wii.

NO BULLYING!!!!!

Bullying is a BIG problem now days! Kids have got way more obnoxious thinking only about themselves not others! Now a days its popularity or you are nothing in the world as a kid. Also popularity is about bullying making someone who is unpopular feel bad about his or her self…

People bully because maybe they have something going on in their lives or family, they have been bullied before, it makes them feel good about his or her self, ect. There are no excuses to bullying for any such reason. If you are a bully you are basically a killer. There is a lot of bullies out there and because you bully you may think you are powerful but according to Nikki Crane “Bullies are weak and they are cowards!”

Bullying can really hurt someone it can put them in a deep depression, it can cause someone to cut themselves, it can cause someone to think about suicide, bullying can make someone commit suicide, ect.
