3/25/14-If I was P.E Teacher I would have to wake up at 6:20 am get ready know what to teach. Ill drive to work and teach the students what they need to do to stay active. If the students won’t try ill give them 2 warnings. On the 3rd warning ill send them to the office or back to class. But during the California State Testing it will be real difficult and challenging for me. I would have to study each day for at least 20minutes. I will have things in my way like students not listening, Disruptive behavior, and Disrespectful children. Most of all most of my students will need to pass with a C or higher. My consinqince will be lunch detention, lowering grade, and a call home. On conference day I will create a power point explaining what I teach and what are the causes of not doing Physical Education (P.E). This is why we need to do P.E. because not all schools have P.E. and we need to be thankful for what we have. == 1/21/14-I chose the article Apple iTunes wants first dibs on new music. This article is about how Beyoncé released a new music album. And how Apple ITunes wants to be first one to buy the album and put in ITunes. But some other companies want to buy the album. So they bid on it and the price goes higher and higher. But apple is losing money because other companies buy new music albums. Before apple had lots of music albums back then in 2011 and 2010. Now they don’t know if they should spend lots of money for one album. I say its not worth it at all because lots of people listen to different music like pop, rock, R and B, rap, hip hop, and classical music also many more. ==

1.Pony boy says about Darryl, “He’s as hard as a rock and about as human.” Which says Darryl is unbreakable and has no feelings as seen in the book numerous times. It also says that he’s as human as a rock… is a rock human at all? When it says that it’s showing that he’s not a normal person and he does not care for anybody but himself.

2.Compare and contrast two characters from //The Outsiders//. Johnny Cade and Soda pop are two completely different characters from the outsiders and are big parts of the story but they do have many differences and similarities. Jonny Cade is a very quiet person who would only talk when told to unlike Soda who would say things whenever and was very energetic. Jonny was also very calm and wasn’t very energetic unlike Soda who liked going to do lots of things and was really friendly. One of there similarities was they were both Greasers and part of the same gang/family.

3.I think what will happen next is since pony boy says, “Things gotta get better, I figured. They couldn’t get worse. I was wrong.” I would predict something bad would happen, like I think since Jonny and Pony boy ran away and they both were hanging out with Cherry and Marcia the Socs would come after them and somebody would get really hurt.

1/23/14 Anthony Le-Aphaivong English Per.3 Dally from "The Outsiders" is **__ dangerous. __** 1 of the reason is "when he was 10 years old he was sent to jail." He doesn’t care about what he does in public. 1 of the evidence is when Ponyboy and him are at the movies and he just stars messing around in front of the police say rude words toward them. Next he even gets more dangerous by going on a suicide mission. Then Ponyboy tells him not to but he still does. Dally robs a grocery store and the cops stop him. Next he fires the gun off at 2 policemen Ponyboy hears gunshots. Well my point is why does Dally want to be like this at all when they tell him some day you might die from 1 of your crimes. Finally Dally dies from shooting the police. He fired 2 shots at the cops then they fired back at him 2 times. He’s dead Ponyboy already knows but does not care about him. “The Pearl”  Anthony Le A   11-21-13 period

The theme of the “The Pearl” is not to be greedy or else something bad will happen and be thankful for what you have. “Kino said, “The pearl is my soul and he would never let it out of his site.”  He could of been thankful when he had his family all together no fights or problems. But he turned that all around when he found the pearl. When he found the pearl problems started happening. Like when his son Coyotito got stung by a scorpion and they took him to the doctors and “The doctor said, ‘I am not a veterinary.” Then the doctor discovered that they had the pearl and he wants to help then now. Before he said no because they were poor and he did not know till now they had a pearl. Then Kino was getting real greedy when he knows he can sell the pearl but how much he says. So every one in town knows about the pearl. People offer him money but he knows its not enough so he leaves town. When he leaves town he gets in a fight and with this one guy but Kino kills that guy because it was self-defense. So tells his wife Juana to leave or else something bad is going to get worse. So they leave and trackers are tracking them down and they hide in the mountains but the tracker went in the mountains and they are looking for him. So something bad happens his son Coyotito gets shot by the gun when Kino stabbed the 1 guy. That’s why this is the theme.
