THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART TIME INDIAN: spoiler alert


          In the book I am currently reading my main character junior id in his rain of terror nothing good is happening in his life. Everyone around him is pacing away and leaving him. He feels lonely and he believes that he just need a friend a friend like rowdy. He misses him. In the book rowdy and his team just lost to the rich reardan. He sees his fellow "friends" and it hits him. He sees it’s not only him feeling bad but all the other kids were hurting just like him maybe even worse.
          the little bit of happiness he could of given them by winning was taken away he saw these kids who weren't going anywhere in life upset just bad things just coming to happen to them he saw rowdy’s faces having to go home and get beaten up by his dad just because he lost it seem he is in a ray of terror bad all around him he questions himself will good ever come. But something I notice no matter how hard junior tries he just can't be sad and that’s because he is terrified of being scared he doesn't want to be safe he is over this he is trying so hard to push all this pain away by doing weird things like laughing in the car when hearing about the death of his only loving sister. He is trying so hard and I think this is one thing that makes junior so smart he was able to leave that and change he wants to change making him the bigger Indian. It makes him a bugger person and that’s what he is by the end of the book.

THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART TIME INDIAN: spoiler alert


         In the book the absolutely true diary of a part time Indian boy we meet our main character Arnold/junior talk about his family friends and life. He has a smart family that all made bad decisions. Growing up on a reservation he’s see many people that have just lost all HOPE that have no HOPE. In this messed up town junior has given up. In the beginning of the book he describes   himself as a ugly weird looking dude. He just goes off about how weird he look and how him and his family have no HOPE and will never make it big because of their race were they are and their situation, what they need was HOPE.
            Junior gets mad when he sees his mother’s name on the book that was distributed to him this angered him. He let his emotions take over and threw the book at his teacher Mr.p. after a couple of days that this event took place mr. p gave junior a talk. A talk for HOPE, he told him he was much smarter and could make a difference this was a big impact in junior’s life. It really changed the way he thought. He started to think about his future and what was coming next afterward. Which afterward he made a really big transition he transferred schools.
            When transferring school Arnold was terrified, he knew ahead of him were many rich racists. His thoughts came true but, only because it is what he believed, and wanted to believe, but as the days went on he saw not everything was true. He began to like it and began to adapt to the environment around him. But he really missed his root at same time. He see the difference in the two communities and change and make two junior him in reservation and Arnold him in his new school. I want to continue reading and see what happens next.

vacation homework#2

The student plagiarized the student just copied and pastes and didn't source it he/she just copied and pasted it and said that he/she wrote it.if s/he liked it so much she could have at least quoted it and explained.For example" There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion." A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings, unknown author.
then later at the end go on easy bib and source the articles/he found this. 3 ways to avoid this is to after you do read some information wait about 5-10 minutes weather it may be listening to music or whatever sit down and writ. another way is after you are done writing go back and make sure you aren't copying.another thing you can do is read multiple sources and and wait and then write so it your own words from many different sources so that you don't accidentally do anything.

vacation homework #1


My two favorite blog post had to Joyce’s on The Hunger Games were she compares both Gale and Peeta. I also enjoyed reading Ali’s review on "Much Ado About Nothing" she did a really good job explaining about everything that brought the show together. When reading Joyce’s I saw that she did a good job without giving away what happens in the book she had a good balance of detail and explanation I thought I worked well. It was short and to the point and I think it worked well. In Ali’s blog post Ali does a good job explaining detail from detail in what brought the play together she really doesn’t talk about the plot but more the costumes the set design and I think she did that well. She did it well because she didn’t spoil it but she worked with it well.
            I think in the future I will try not to spoil the book because I seem to do that a lot like I give away the ending or what happens. So I will try not to give it away. I will also try to fix all my grammatical errors because I have lots of those. But the blogs up here will be y goal I’ll try to write like these great writers.

the hunger games

            Since the hunger games were coming out as a movie I have decided to read the book once again. The hunger games are a scary yet confusing but thrilling book at the same time. Although I had read the book before and knew what was coming next I was still filled with excitement. I could actually read the book without wanting to find out what happened in the end and it was fun so I could do it again. I looked more into katniss and peeta's relationship a little bit more and I think that it was a click from the start katniss and peeta are perfect I am team peeta. Peeta's sweet shy and so sweet and I think that is the kind of person katniss need they are like magnet. you can feel how much peeta loves katnisss. I still am excited to find out and read what happens again. I am so excited to see the movie as well!

PLAY REVEIW


The play performed was really well done. It showed all the aspects of the play while still making it fun easy to understand, they had made it more modern but not today modern but a bit older. I felt that the play had good transitions, and did a good job adding and using music and the environment around them. They only had a couple of props but then they switched them around turn them around and they had made it work. They had also used the stage nicely when first walking in I thought it was a bit small and cramped, but then as the play went on it actually made me feel like I was in the time period apart of the play, it felt very welcoming and nicely done.
            I like how they showed all the science and the worked the stage without having to take too long to change the props. For example I like the scene when they thought hero was cheating and they used the shadow effect. I also like how they showed the different times of day through the backdrop. They made it into a moon or at the party they kept it as a yellow to kind of get the party vibe. I feel that it worked really well. This was a good play but I would advice middle school child and up to watch just because it may need a more mature brain to understand it.
