So just now Jake F wrote to many words on cirterion that the computer will not grade it. He wrote 850 words in 30MINS!. It was totally weird I couldn't really think like that.

Authors Craft: Number 1

Why do you think the author chose this to to write about?

Why I think the author chose this topic to write about is because it is a very instersing topic, its and very important topic and it is a very serious topic. Slavery is not a very funny topic and its nothing to joke about, lots of African Americans when through slavery for a very long time. In this book Laurie Halse Anderson explained the topic very well and very very deltailed. I love how she based the story on a African American slave and slaves and how they livied their lifes and how they are treated. The life how out someones elses point of veiw, their feelings, their life-style and how everyone in that city/ town thinks they are. The topic of slavery is told in many different ways, nice, mean or just plain evil the storys and journeys told from genoration to genoration. I think she chose this topic because there are so many stories based off of it. She could go from any of those topics nice, mean or evil. I think Laurie Halse Anderson chose a very good topic to write about. She made a very good choice about what to write about. Its a great book and a great story to read.

Question 3: Reactions

Find and Record two intresting, funny, or surprising quotes. Tell why these lines stood out to you, and what they made you think of. 

Why these two quotes stood out to me is because Isabel (main character) has gone through so much for her and her little sister Ruth to be free. One of the quotes is "She can do anything. I can do nothing." I know what she is trying to say, she is trying to say her master (Madam) can do anything boss her around, brand her, treat her poorly and Isabel can do nothing about it no protesting or complaining. It would be compared to be dictated or ruled by another person with no freedom at all. Isabel is a slave, her sister is a slave, even when they are sopposed to be free they can not get out of it. The other quote is "A scar is a sign of strengh.. the sign of a survivor". This quote is so great it make me feel that she is not afraid to stand up and that a scar is not a sign of weekness its the sign of a survivor. Isabel and her sister are survivors they have been through thick and thin. Isabel had more weight on her then most people. Before her mom passed she promised she would take care of Ruth and protect her. She is the ultimate survivor in my world. To take care and protect her family and to step up and be the girl shes going to be.

5/28/14 LITERARY ESSAY

Don't you ever want to fit in and be different? Sometime people are judged for who they are and where they are from. In the book Divergent by Veronica Roth, Tris wants to fit in but she realizes that she falls for Four insted of fitting in.

Reason 1- Direct Quote

In Divergent, when Tris chooses Dauntless the other transfers are giving Tris a hard time. Peter a transfer from Candor is not what Candor was for him he lied, and he always started fights. He is always on Tris's case. On Page 56, when Tris is going to jump she throws her jacket at Peter. "Ooh. Scandalous! A Stiff's flashing some skin!"- Peter. But Tris jumps anyways. When she lans in the net d the un-likely meeting of Tris and Four starts it all.

Reason 2- Paraphase 

When Tris chooses Dauntless she wants to fit in but everyone make fun of her because she is from Abnegation and she is a "stiff" because that is what her factions nickname is. But all Tris wants to do is fit in and be the best she can in Dauntless. When people go to new places they try to get out of thier nicknames and try to become different people without their nicknames. When Tris goes to Dauntless she wants to be know as Tris not a "stiff" but as she soon sees thats not going to happen when everyone calls her by "stiff" and does not think as her as anything else.

Reason 3- Quote

Tris soon realizes that fitting in does not matter as much compared to love. Four is all she needs to not be a "Stiff" to be different, to be from Abnegation to be Divergent. She cares deeply about what she believes in. During the book she learns to face her fears even if they kill you and your loved ones. She learns never to give up. At the end she learns not to trust the enemies. On Page 487 " I am no longer Tris, the selfless Tris, or Tris the brave.

Conclusion-

In Divergent, Tris realizes you do not need to fit in to be loved and to be who you are. She appreciates who she is and the people she loves and trusts.

I guess I have written about this before because I keep think about it. I think music is the thing that gets you through life when you are sad listen to happy music not to be sad anymore in any mood you are in music always has a song or playlist that fits your mood. Example: Right now writing this I am listening to music and its helping me get ideas what to write about and its getting me pumped up and ready to do more work :).

My mothers day was good how about yours? My parents went to New York for my mothers birthday. They came back on mothers day and we had all of the presents ready for when thry came home. One of my brothers made her a mug the other brother made her a clock. I made my mom a charm bracelet and a collection made out of gift cards (My brother paid for it). When they got home we gave her the presents and cards and she said she loved them and I made her put all of the things we made her one and to wear to Mothers Day Dinner. When we got to dinner I was so happy to see my cousin Abby that I have not seen in forever because she lives in Atlanta and I was super happy to see her. We had a great dinner with my family together and I can not wait for another mothers day to come around.

Spring has finally come! The flowers are blooming, the sun is shinning and I can't wait in till it is just right. The green in coming back to Michigan and color and fun the winter has brought many challenges but we have over come then and Mother Nature has finally brought us spring. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds and the grass is green with purple and red an blue and yellow flowers. The bees are buzzing and flying around and getting to pollinate flowers in the first time in forever. Today when I get home I am going to run and jump and play outside and have fun. The weather is just right and its showing that summer is coming and spring is here for now and for good!

5/1/14 SS Test

Helen and Kylee's test- play thing. idk

Instructions

3. It is 1775 in the American colonies. You are the moderator (person in charge) of a debate. 

Create a debate between a loyalist and a patriot about this question:

Should the 13 American Colonies declare independence from England?

You may choose from the patriots and loyalists you have read about in chapter 11.

You must structure your debate like this:

Moderator: Hello. Today we will debate over the topic of the colonies declaring independence from England. Hello fellow colonists, patriots, and loyalists. Our first loyalist to be speaking today is Thomas Hutchinson. Welcome.

Loyalist argument #1: Thank you. I believe it is disrespectful and disloyal to England for patriots to not be grateful for all that England has done for them. 

Moderator: Understandable. Now, Benjamin Franklin. What do you have to say?

Patriot argument #1: In some ways, I could agree. But the colonists owe nothing to a ruler that has only given them unfair laws and untrustworthy lies. The laws the British are unfair and unnecessary.

Moderator: Thank you for both opinions. Let's hear from other collegues of England and the colonists.

Loyalist argument #2: Hello. My name is John Murray, or better known as Lord Dunmore. I believe that since Great Britain started the colonies and continued to protect them, they have a fair right to tax in exchange for their safety.

Moderator: Now we will hear from Mercy Otis Warren, a patriot.

Patriot argument #2: I believe that the taxes are unacceptable. Most colonists have a hard time earning enough money to support themselves, even without the unruly taxing laws. Therefore, the colonists are doing the right thing. They would be better off without the government overall.

Moderator: Mercy Otis Warren is known for her powerful opinion in her writing, indeed. 

Loyalist argument #3: I disagree. I am Jonathon Boucher, a leader of many leaders. When you diobey the British, you disobey God. The king's rule comes from God.

Moderator: Okay then. Lastly, we will hear from Samuel Adams.

Patriot argument #3: Thank you. I believe that colonists shouldn't have to pay taxes on British goods. I also believe that the colonists should elect their own governors, instead of the government picking them.

Moderator: Thank you all for your opinions today. We shall see what happens.
