Character Comparison

        The character I think I am most common with is Stanley, from the book Hole by Luise Sachar. I think I am most like him because when I am punished, I have to do the hardest chores around the house, that my parents A, don't want to do, or B Just don't have time to do it. Also, when I get done with that one, I have do something for punishment. Usualy it is no electronics, or locked in my room with all the stuff in there. And, if my homework is out on the table, and I am grounded, I can't go and get it. Sometimes, they give me a chore to shorten my grounding like vacume the whole house, clean the kitchen, move/clean up the rocks in drive. That usually takes usually a good hour or two.And in the book holes, Stanley Yelnats is sent to a camp where he has dig holes every day to 'build character'. But really, it is just a search for gold. The person that runs the camp 'The Warden', was digging holes for her dad on all the Holidays and her Birthday. He said "You will thank me one day," She never did unitl Stanley and his new Best freind Zero found a Treasure with Stanley's name on it. As I and Stanley have learned, is that getting trouble, has it's downs, but in the end, it is rewarding.

GAME Plan   

Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Last year, was my favorite spring break ever. Me, My brother, My Mom, Travis C, His Mom and his brother, we all went to Gulf Shores, Alabama. There is a tiny little piece of land that touches the Gulf of Mexico. There are lots of resorts and we all went in  one for 8 days. It was awesome. There was 1 more family from Gobles that went. Kenley's family went around the same time we did. One day we ended eating the exact same crab shack, at the same exact time. We all sat by each other and it was really a lot of fun.
     This spring break, I get to go see the Hunger games in Imax 3-D and go to Chicago with my brother, My mom and Grandma. We will get a tour of chicago on a river and stay in a 5 star hotel, right next to the Hancock building. (now the Sears Tower) We will also eat at my mom's favorite restraunt in the world. It is a Pizzaria that when you get seated, you can color on the tables and walls . It is so much fun.

Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     The best parts of the Chicago trip was the Feild Museum and the bus ride. We also can't forget Shedd Aquarium. So all round, I liked the whole entire trip.

     You are probly asking, "Why was the bus ride fun??" It was fun because you got to sit by all your best freinds and just have a good time. We also get to watch movies, play ipods, and a bunch of other fun things.

     Shedd Aquarium is also fun. You get to have lots of fun watching the Dolphin/Beluga Whale/Hawk show. I liked downstairs because there was a lot of penguins and I love penguins. Ialso liked seeing the Whales and Dolphins swim around. I also loved seeing the Jelly Fish. They're 95% of water. No heart beat, no bones, no nothin.

     The Feild Museum is also very, very cool. There is Sue, the most complete replica of a T-rex today. It shows on a plaque were all the bones are missing. There is also a guided tour of the pawnee tribe. There is also an ehxibit of lots of totem poles. They also take track of all the Species that died of since 8:00 that morning, i was there at about 11, and 18 had died of since 8:00 that morning.

Text-to-self connection

      In the book Goosebumps, They are getting scared by scare crows. This reminds me of when I was little, I was always scared of scarecrows. I was scared of scarecrows because I was little and I thought evrything was a little scarey. One time, I saw a farmer take a scarecrow down off it's cross and and walk it back to his barn. I was at a position where it looked like it was walking, so I was scared to death.I ran home and didn't come out for a few DAYS!!!! But now I'm not a fraid of scarecrows anymore.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day:

      November 11, or what is now known as Vetrens Day, was origanly made to be as an average U.S. holliday to honor Armistic Day- the end of World War 1, which officialy took place on November 11, 1998. In legislature that was passed in 193, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be here after celebrated and known as 'Armistic Day'. As such, this new legal holliday honord World War 1 veterans. In 1954, after being in World War 2 and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistic" and inserting the word "Veterans". With the approval of this legislation on June 1st, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Clive Staple Lewis is his real name. He made books like The Cronicals of Narnia, the Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity. C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, on November 29, 1898. Through out his whole C.S. Lewis had a nickname. Jack. He gave himself this nickname at the age of four. He only ahd one brother, Warren Hamilton Lewis. C.S, Lewis' mother died of cancer in 1908 when he was only 9 years old. In 1908 he became a barding student at Campbell College in Belfast, just one mile from his home but whithdrew one year later. In 1913 he enrolled in Malvern College where he remained for one year. It was there that C.S. Lewis became an athiest abandoning the Christian faith of his childhood. From Malvern, he went to private tootering under William T. Kirkpatric, "The Great Knock", had also been his father's tooter. Lewis went on to recieve a scholar ship at Oxford. Later he enrolled into the british army in 1916. On May 20, 1925, Lewis was Fellow tutor in English Ltituter at Oxford University, where he served for 20 years.

Plot of City Mouse and Country Mouse

     The exposition is where the country mouse and city mouse are in the country mouse's home. The problem is where they go to the city mouse's house and are always running into traps. The turning point is where the chief's cat finds them and almost gets them. The falling action is where they keep on running into the cupbard. The resulution is where the country mouse says he has enough and goes back home wjere his life isn't thretned every day.

Theme of Holes

     I think the theme of Holes is that great stuff can happen if you put in the work. I think this because Stanley goes to court for something he didn’t do. So once he goes to camp green lake and meets zero. Later Stanley carries zero up the mountain and zero almost dies. The day the left the camp, Stanley’s lawyer comes to take him from camp green lake because he was innocent. Then he takes zero with his money to buy a mansion. Later they have a big party and Clyde Livingston’s commercial comes on.    

Buddies

     I like buddies because mine is awesome! My buddy likes that I play football. Also that we do cool stuff. We also like to hang out.Later in the year I hope we do cool stuff.

Jake's Story

I choose Jake's story because I think is was interesting with the step mom. She was flying around to help Jakes Dad, Jake and work at the same time. I think the moral of this story is to never be afraid to lend a helping hand.
