the wave

I think the main thing that stood out to me is when the students said they didn't like when he didn't wear a suit and tie in class. That stood out to me because teachers never wear anything fancy anymore they just wear casual stuff. Another thing that stood out to me was the fact that they were trying to use a film projector in class, which was kind of weird because I've never seen anybody at school use a film projector. One more thing that stood out to me was that on the first page they mentioned " typewriters".

Some people would pick their favorite sentence really deep in the story but i found my favorite on the first page, although i read 4 paragraphs this was the best, even though the explanation of the man on page 3 was pretty good too. She was a pretty girl with short light brown hair and an almost perpetual smile that only disappeared when she was upset or chewing Bic pens. I liked this sentence because it explained the girl so much that i could actually get an image in my mind of her.

My question, what do you think the "experiment" they are gonna do will be about?

betty ann

I think the saddest part in the story is when she started getting sick alot and missing whole weeks of school. I feel really bad for her and i can relate because I've been sick like that too.

There is a part in the story where the girl was at Betty Ann's house and her friend called her and said "have you..... eaten any maple sugar candy or watermelon, kiddo?", then she hung up the phone. I think that was the right thing to do because if she laughed about it, Betty Ann would get mad at her, and her feelings would be hurt so i think that was the right thing to do.

The theme of this story is to tell people who are made fun of because of their race, religion or anything else, they should stand up for their self against the people who are making fun of them or just ignore them because the real fools here are them.

seventh grade

One part of the story seventh grade that i think i can relate to is the first day of school when you see all your friends and you feel happy.

seventh grade

My favorite sentence from the short story was "Frenchie oh wewe gee in September". The first time i heard it, it make me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. It is funny because he was trying to impress this girl he likes by pretending that he knew french, and when the teacher called on him and he didn't know what to say so he made some French/English sentence up. It was hilarious.

test 3

Ms.i asked us what we thought about the ending of the story, about the uniformed men. I thought that the uniformed man was just a dream. I think it was caused because of the hypnosis, the uniformed men were just thoughts inside his head but in that moment when he was unconscious, he actually imagined them.

test 2

Ms.i gave us another piece of homework asking us if hypnosis is appropriate if they use it on young drivers for there driving test. I think it should be appropriate because its like a driving game so its safe because if they use real cars they might crash on the streets so i think it should be appropriate.

TEST Favorite sentence

today Ms.i read us a story named test by Theodore L. Thomas and she told us to pick a favorite so i did. My favorite sentence is " Alongside the man was a girl, her head against the back of the seat, soft curls framing a lovely face, her ees closed in easy sleep. It was not the fear in the man that reached into robert proctor. It was the trusting helplessness in the face of the sleeping girl. So that was may favorite sentence and i liked it because i can imagine what that looked like and in my mind i see it in slomotion its kind of sad.

planet earth

Two days ago me and my team watched a movie about the earth, it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!. I learned alot from it like grass supports most of the lands in the world and its indestructible because if the grass burns it just grows back and that grass feeds more wild life then any other plant in the world. and elephant grass is the tallest grass in the world. I learned alot about different land scape's like if eagles don't have trees to put there nest they would have to nest on the ground where all the predators can see it easier and east Africa alone has more than 2 billion wilder beast. I learned alot about the arctic too like even though the ice freezes, after it melts the grass grows back so anything that lives in the arctic can eat. Did you know that the Himalayas acts as a barrier to keep all the clouds from coming in. There are a kind of monkey that actually sing to each other. That movie was the best nature movie I've ever seen.
