Writing reflection 4

Writing reflection number 4.

I finished my moments story I found it very easy to write, there are so many things you can talk about every one has exciting events in their life time, they may not seem big but they always seem to leave a story to tell. The only problem I had with writing my moments story is I had to cut some out, I wrote way more then we were supposed to but it is hard to sum up a whole story in less than 100 words. I think I could improve it by maybe going in and changing a few words, I could of made better word choices more age level appropriate.

Solitary confinement, I was not at the school for it because I do not have afternoon classes. But it makes sense if an intruder is in the school you cant have everyone running around like chicken with their heads cut off, but if it is a student that attends our school that is threatening everyone they most likely know how to get around all of that.

I now have quite a bit in my blog, and quite a few page views surprised me! I find it a lot easier to find things now and ive learned how to post different things, and I add personal additions without even thinking of it now. It is quite the experience, such a different way of learning. There are so many things I can do with my blog still more to learn !

Reading reflection number 4.

Book: Night world

Author : L. J. Smith

Pages read: 133

Right now I do not fully understand what Jez is trying to do. She went to Morgead’s house to try to fight for her position back in the gang, but with Morgead being more powerful it is very dangerous for her. A friend of Jez’s came to warn her that a power has risen and could potentially end the world because it is getting into the wrong hands, Jez needs Morgead’s help to end these powers to save the world but she seems to be taking it a weird way which I don’t quite understand. It is almost as though she wants the power over him so she can tell him what to do when I’m sure he would do if she just asked.

Jez is half human and half vampire, I think that would be hard for someone not to notice judging by how the vampires act, I think it was weird how Jez just suddenly realized one day that she was a vampire almost seems out of place when she had considered herself such a powerful vampire before.

I predict that Jez nor Morgead will win the battle to see who becomes leader of the gang, I think they will have to share the title as leader and will become very powerful that way, and will be able to save the world just because they were able to work together. They both wouldn’t be able to do it on their own so working together will end up as an advantage.

I think I could connect to Jez fighting Morgead for power because I am a very competitive person, and I want to be the best at everything I do and I don’t give up until I am the best.

The authors writing style seems very simple she has many books but they all connect somehow which I like because it makes me interested in reading the rest of their books, she is very descriptive about what her characters look like and gives you a very good mental image.

personal addition

I chose this as a personal addition because,  I look at my iPhone sometimes and it amazes me how far things have come, this is one of the first cell phones and people were probably amazed by what it was I can't imagine what they would think now, my phone does everything for me.

Moments story!

         About 6 years ago now, my Mom, my Dad, and my younger sister Jamie, went out to my cousin's Tracy and Riley's house. Tracy has her friend Krystal over, they would have been about 15 years old, and her younger sister Riley would have been about 10. After we had our family dinner, it was dark out and the parents were playing a game of poker inside. Tracy and Riley lived in St. Andrews so they had big property and all us kids went outside to play. Tracy and Krystal were acting sneaky and weird, they had invited some boys over from down the road. Myself, Jamie, and Riley did our own thing we were to young to care or even think about boys. Then out of no where we heard some shattering and were screamed at to start running and hide, we heard tires screeching, a door slam and a guy yelling he'd find us. I was young and didn't understand what had happened so I stayed hidden for about 10 minutes. Then we heard our parents calling our names so we came out of hiding, the boys that had comeover had thrown rocks at a passing truck, there was no damage we were all told to apologize and my cousins were no longer able to see those boys. On the way home my parents were very mad at me they didn't understand why I didn't know enough to leave that situation and to come tell the adults, but I was little I didn't think I was doing anything wrong just playing. After the argument we were all silent until the car infront of us on the highway rolled into the ditch. The woman who had been in the accident was pregnant, my mom called 911 as fast as she could and we waited till they got there, no one was injured but it had turned out to be a scary and very eventful night.

Watch out Kony

KONY 2012.

Some concerns critics and myself may have with the campaign of Kony are, that now enough people are going to become aware to make the difference that needs to be made. People need to get very serious, we would need absolutely everyone involved to stop him, and many people have negative opinions toward it such as “ they are so far away who cares” “ what will my small effort do “ “ if they catch Kony someone else in his army is just going to step up into his place” I’m not saying these people are wrong cause everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but each person getting involved and helping will make a difference, we should be thinking less of publicity now and moving more into action.

The invisible children video does address the problems on Kony and things people can do to help out and get a hand into helping these children in Uganda. But it is not helping people realize it is a lot easier to help out then they think and even one extra person wanting to hangout could make a huge difference, they could of included in the video how easy it is and not expensive because a lot of people barely have enough money to take after themselves and their own families but may still want to help out. They are very good with making awareness and making the kits, but actually getting people motivated and positive they had troubles with.

I think when I am older issues like this is something I will want to help out in quite a bit, as of now I think I just want to make other people aware and buy a kit. Also as a class I think everyone should bring in 5 dollars and we can buy a few kits to show our support.

Reading relection 3

Reading reflection.

I have started a new book unfortunately I had to drop the other one I just couldn’t get myself interested in it, I tried reading it but just couldn’t do it I found myself in a daze or day dreaming while reading it rather than focusing and really getting into it.

My newest book is called “ The Night World” it has three books all in one, and it is a series on this group called the night world. The night world includes vampires, shape shifters, werewolf, and witches. Questions I have so far are how many of the night world people are there if none of the stories seem to connect, and if there are humans mating with vampires would the vampire part of the offspring not destroy itself wanting the human blood that runs in its veins?

The main character Jez happens to be half vampire and half human, her mother who was human had died when she was little so she grew up as a vampire drinking blood and killing, she realized one day she was not fully a vampire and decided to live as a human with distant family, I noticed Jez felt she had a lot more power when she was drinking human blood, will she becomes stronger and stronger the more blood she drinks?

I think in the future night world will come out of hiding and take out the world, which could wipe out their kind as well because if they go on a rampage they won’t have any more humans to feed off of, they will destroy everything.

Connections I have is, keeping things in moderation. If you have to much of a good thing it can become negative, for example I like working and making money but now I work too much and I’m not enjoying it as much anymore.

Personal addition

A book I've started to read, kind of weird it's 3 stories in one book and about vampires.... But for some reason I'm enjoying it although it isn't normally the type of book I'd read.

six word memoir

I posted this because I love going away and being in the country everything is so care free, there is a completely different atmosphere. It is an escape from your everyday life. When I was younger I had two cottages, both weren't owned by my parents, one was my Dad's parents cottage but we were welcome to go there whenever we pleased, the cabin is at Long Lake, it is 3 and a half hours away from Winnipeg, there is no electricity there, and it is gravel roads for 2 hours of the ride, it has thick bush all around it, it is an amazing place I cannot even describe its beauty. My Mom's parents built their dream house at Lundar beach so I also had the oppurtunity to go there whenever I pleased, I was very lucky to have these amazing places and I really do appreciate it, they are completely different places but I love them both, Long Lake is rock forest and gravel, deep water, and Lundar Beach is never ending beach, sand and you can swim off shore, there is never a dull moment when I am there.

Best memoir

I did this one because, Lexi is always the one person who is there for me and always has been. I believe in having a few close friends over a lot of friends that you arnt super close with.

6 Word memoir number 2

I did this one because coming to highschool has changed me and my friends a great amount highschool shapes who you are in the future it prepares you for what life has to offer. I haven't thought about graduating much until this past month or so I am actually very scared we have been babied in school for the last 12 years and now were taking a step into the real world where we will start our lives and make decisions for ourselves make our own money, raise our own families, but it still seems like we have so much to learn, I'm glad I went to this school and focused hard, because I know I will be prepared for anything life offers me.

I like this one because well, I love my dog. My family is very important to me and she is a big part of my family she is 11 years old now so I grew up with her she was my best friend for so many years and my sister's aswell, even though she is just an animal she made a big impact on my life. My Mom and I were talking about what we would do the other day if we lost her because she is getting old and the time may come soon... I really thought about it, I don't know how I would cope she is such a good dog, and shows compasion and care for me all the time. She really did make a hug she really did make a huge difference in my child hood, I grew up with a best friend that would never leave my side, and no matter what in the world I did wrong she wouldn't judge me, she would always still love me, it is going to be a very hard day the day I lose her.
