Michaels HW Page Michaels Journel Log 1/23/14 Michael Clewis 1/23/14 Period 3 6/3/14 My name is Michael Clewis I am a junior high school teacher and I teach Physical Education at Imiddle. I am 30 years old and a father of 4 and a married man. Working at Imiddle can be fun and it can be bad. I choose to be PE teacher because I love exercising and moving. My oldest son goes to Imiddle. He is 12 years old and is a 7th grader. He loves to exercise with his friends. Sometimes I have separated them because of talking. I remember having that same problem talking all the time. What really ticks me off is when the football players like to talk to the girls while I’m talking. Goal is to have these kids have a good grade and not fail. The challenging part about that is they like to talk back and not do anything. I have been given permission to have visitors to come for PE. Whenever a class is horrible they have boot camp for the next week. In boot camp they have to run a mile, and then do 50 push-ups, then 200 crunches. This has happened 3 times this school year. One student named Daniel said, “Im going to sue for trying to kill us”. I said, “Good luck with that”. The reason I said that because at the end they could get water. My oldest son Michael asked if we could paintball while skydiving. I never do stuff that my son asks for unless everyone agrees on doing it. I know it sounds crazy but don’t forget it’s the year 2031. After school we have a paintball skydiving team called the Wolf Pack. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference 2/20/14  Pony boy is very smart and nice. His older brother Darry is always on him about his grades so he doesn't fail. Ponyboy is respectable to women and young girls. He isn't like Dally who cusses a lot around them to show off isn't respectable and wants them to smoke with him. Pony boy likes to get to know people instead of walking up on them and just acting like you know them.

Pony boy wants to feel welcomed and respected around cute girls. Dally will just harass them and gets threatened by them to call the cops. Pony boy thinks that Darry is working him a little bit too hard. Pony boys friend Dally said to Dally “Leave her alone, Dally.” “Huh?” “Dally was taken off guard. If it had been me, or Two-bit, or Soda or Steve, or anyone but Johnny, Dally would have flattened him without a moment’s hesitation”. Johnny got very lucky that Dally didn't punch him. He is very brave that he did that. The Pearl, Michael Clewis

The theme of //The Pearl// is to not be greedy and don’t let money tear your family apart. During the story “Kino said, the pearl is my soul and I will never let it out of sight.” This pearl was for coyotito to get cured from the scorpion stung. “Juana says this pearl is evil”, she cried harshly”. “Juana says this pearl is like a sin! It will destroy us.” “Juana says Throw it away, Kino.” Juana was full of fear she knew that it do even worse. “Kino’s face was set, and his mind and his will were set.” Kino can’t because this is only chance of being rich and coyotito to go to school. “Kino says, this is our one chance. Our son must go to school. Juana gets up to throw the pearl in the ocean. Kino is full of rage. “Her arm was up to throw when Kino leaped at her and caught her arm and wrenched the pearl from her.”

10/30/13 my favorite show is the The Walking Dead. I like this show because there are lots of (walkers) zombies. The characters are Rick,darly,micchone, corral, glen, Andrea, and the govern and more. They are taking shelter i a prison and living inside a cell block. There problem is zombies and growing at one gate and its starting to become a problem. They must protect them selves and it doesn't matter you die ur still infected. Every week they go and get supplies to survive. if they don't get fighting then everyone dies.
