High School

So far this year high school is ok.  I am not doing as well as I did in the middle school because the work is harder but I have more fun here. I feel very successful this year because I am trying.

SSR REVIEW

I was not much of a reader before I came to the high school. Now that we have SSR I read a lot and i'm a fast reader but I still read just to get threw it I do not enjoy reading. I will probably not read by choice but I will when its assigned in a class.

Blog Review

I think writing on a blog makes me spell better and double check for mistakes because a lot of people could be reading my post. I try harder when I writing on my blog because I don't want to look stupid in front of people. For my goal I think I will instal a counter and try to make my blog look cooler

Jared Lee Loughner

         A man from Arizona named Jared Lee Loughner committed a shooting. Jared killed six people and is being tried for the death penalty. Jared can not deni  doing this because there were 150 witnesses Jared is trying to avoid the death penalty by saying he has a troubled mental state. 

I think Jared Lee Loughner should get the death penalty. In my opinion it doesn't matter what mental state you are in if you kill someone you deserve to die. If you are mentally troubled    enough to kill some one you shouldn't be around people.

Chess Rumble

The book Chess Rumble is about an angry young African American boy named Marcus. Marcus is a trouble maker that needs to clean up his act. He gets in fights almost every day it could be with his principal, mom, little brothers or the kids at school. Marcus likes to call him self the Hulk because he is big strong and angry.

Marcus has some big problems that make his life hard. His sister died recently and because of his sisters death his dad left the family. Marcus has a problem with a kid at school witch has caused him to get in a lot of trouble.

Marcus meets a man called CM (chess master). CM teaches Marcus how to play chess and to take responsibility for his own actions. Marcus decides to take his fighting off the streets and on to the chess board. 

I liked this book because I could some what relate to the main character because I could understand his anger. I would recommend reading this if you are between the age of 12 and 16 and have a anger problems or have grown up on the streets. If you do not like reading that much

thats ok because chess rumble is not a long book.

This book was written by G. Neri.

The Vine That Grew Up The Tree

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.    Did you hear about the vine that grew    up the side of a tree?    Proving nature’s law is wrong it    learned to climb without having hands.    Funny it seems, but by killing the tree    it grew higher and higher in the air    Long live the vine that grew up the tree    It will move on to the next tree when this one is dead.

CAP PUN

My opinion on the death penalty is in some cases they should use it but in some others they shouldn't. Like in this case Walter Sorto Alexander he kidnapped two hispanic females sexually assaulted them and then he shot them in the face he should be killed. But if you are driving drunk and you hit someone and they die you should not be put to death. Clifton Williams in his case he Entered the house of a 93 year old lady he stabbed her, Strangled her and then he burned her body so he should get the death penalty. In the state of Maine I don't really think that the death penalty should be legal because its not that big of a state and there is not that much crime.
