Junior Year

My junior year has been filled with ups and downs along this first semester. School feels pretty easy this year.

Classes go along quicker and easier now that I am a junior. It seems as though there is less work involved now. I like most all of my classes but have to worry time to time about one of my classes, chemistry, because it is real hard for me. Chemistry is the only class that gives me a lot of trouble. I'm just not to good at it i guess. Algebra and Spanish two are going really well and I thought they'd be the hardest.

Sports started off pretty hard for me. In March, I broke my femur in half during a soccer game after scoring a goal. I was out until the middle of June. Around the middle of June I started jogging, running, and working out again. People say that I recovered quick, but I don't think so because when football started i still couldn't go one hundred percent. I got real mad during practice when I couldn't go as hard as I thought I could. The first few weeks sucked, but it got better and I started the first game of the season.

My year has been pretty good over all, but could have been a lot better. Next semester is going to be great because it will be time for soccer. I love soccer. Its my favorite sport. I can't wait to get back on the field.

character John Procter

John Procter works very hard. He is a good man that wants more in life. John trys to do the right things but sometimes it doesn't work out in his favor. He does some bad things such as saying soft words to another girl while he is married, but Procter is a good man that thinks about things to the full extent. He thinks that Parris is just trying to get money and talk about things that scare the people of salem and he does not like this. In the end he dies for something and is not very good.

again ...more bullying

The novel that I am reading now, The Crucible, has the theme of bullying in it. This book is filled with drama and tells of the Salem witch trials.

Many characters bully in this novel. One case of bullying involves the girls against Mary Warren. Mary Warren tells Procter and the judge that the girls are just pretending and that everything that they are doing is fake. The girls argue and yell at her and pretend more in court to make Mary look like she's ling.

Another case of bullying is when people confess to witchcraft just so they cannot be hung later if accused. This I think is wrong because they could confess and accuse someone else who hasn't done anything wrong.

This novel definitely has to much drama for me. I would recommend this to someone who likes literature or just likes to read but i did not like it to much.

The good and the bad..

In the novel I am reading, The Kite Runner, the main character, Amir, goes though some rough and also good times.

Amir is a boy who grows up what some would call a nerd because of things he likes such as writing and books. Amir's servant ,Hassan, loves for Amir to read books to him. Amir takes advantage of this and makes up storys sometimes. Amir lies so that Hassan cannot go with him to America. Later on when he comes back, he finds that Hassan is his half brother and finds how much Hassan cares for him. Amir then tries to make things right in his life by finding Hassan's son.

Amir loves Hassan deep down, but couldn't show it until he was gone. This novel reads easy and is a little long, but it really makes you think about the way you approach things.

Bulling

My novel The Kite Runner is a good but long book. One topic which is discussed in this book is bulling.

Bulling is something that should not ever happen but it always does. Amir, the main character, and Hassan, Amir’s half brother, both get bullied in this book. Amir bullies Hassan by not allowing him to read or write when he knows that he could teach him how to but he doesn’t. Amir gets bullied by the other kids in the village. When the other kids try to harm him, he becomes inert and Hassan steppes in to fight his battle for him.

This is a good book and its easy to read but it makes u think about life and how you approach things.

Barack Obama

My letter to the next president is to Barack Obama. I believe that he has the best plan for the U.S today.

The first issue is the economic crisis that America now faces. Obama’s plan includes: Jump starting the economy by enacting a Windfall Profits Tax to provide a $1,000 emergency energy rebate to American families and to provide $50 billion to jumpstart the economy and prevent 1 million Americans from losing their jobs. Obama also includes providing the middle class with tax relief, creating new alternative energy programs and putting and end to mortgage fraud.

The second issue is healthcare in the United States. Barack Obama believes that every American has a right to affordable, accessible healthcare that works for the people and not just the insurance and drug companies. The Obama-Biden plan will promote public health by reducing costs and save a typical American family up to $2,500 as reforms phase in: 1) Lower drug costs by allowing the importation of safe medicines from other developed countries, increasing the use of generic drugs in public programs and taking on drug companies that block cheaper generic medicines from the market.
2) Require hospitals to collect and report health care cost and quality data.
3) Reduce the costs of catastrophic illnesses for employers and their employees. And, 4) reform the insurance market to increase competition by taking on anticompetitive activity that drives up prices without improving quality of care. It will require coverage of preventive services, including cancer screenings and increase state and local preparedness for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

The third issue is our dependence on foreign oil. The Obama-Biden comprehensive New Energy for America plan will: provide short-term relief to American families facing pain at the pump, help create five million new jobs by strategically investing $150 billion over the next ten years to catalyze private efforts to build a clean energy future, within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined. Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars -- cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon -- on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America. Ensure 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025. And, implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.

These issues are my reasons why i choose to support Obama for president in this year's election.

Theme

Theme

The theme of my novel Black Storm Comin’ by Diane Wilson describes that life is not always easy. The main character Colton goes through a lot of rough times. My author Diane Wilson mastered the term theme by describing this particular theme very well. First in the beginning of the novel, Colton’s dad ran away after accidentally shooting Colton. His dad ran away once before but came back. This time he didn’t come back. Second, Colton’s family later became very sick. His little brother dies. His mom gets so sick that she can’t eat or get out of bed. Finally, Colton has to learn to drive the wagon after his dad runs away. He had to step up and be in charge of their wagon and that was very hard for him. Colton goes through many rough times throughout this novel and the author Diane Wilson explains it well.
