Books That I Recomend Part 2
Wolves of the Beyond Shadow Wolf by: Kathryn Lasky 12/1
1. The conflict in this mystery, fiction book was when the hardships were just begging.A wolf pup is murderred and Faolan is framed for the crime. Faolans survival is once again on the line.
2. My favorite character in this book was Faolan who was a protagonist and also static and major. Faolan was an amazing testament of a true friend when he would not leave Fengo behind during the fleet at the wolf pups murder. A quote that reminds me of this characteristic trait is...." I could never leave you, come on!"
3.An interesting authors secret in this book was how she, as I learned in language arts class, did not unveil the climax until less than a mear chapter away from the last page.
4. A new word I learned from this weeks reading was unconscionable which is an adjective and the meaning not guided or controlled by conscience.
5. This book most likely is not a book I would do for one of my book comercials because it is not a just right book although it was one I really enjoyed untill the last sentence she wrote.

what do you think?
my point of view about the Titanics 100th memorial cruise
I think that the Titanics 100th memorial cruise should go on because it is in memory of all the passengers ,workers , the ones that died and the ones that survived as well during this life changing time.Also it is part of our history.I think that by using the camera mentioned in the article to look at the sunken titanic and all of the things that were tooken down with it, we can learn things from it such as how to make better ships and i hope much more.
google is making us stupid!! 10/25
Yesterday I sat down to my mac immediately when I realized I didn't know the answer to one of the problems on my homework.It was a normal habit instead of going to the library or looking in my encyclopedia I took the short cut and easy way out, but with this habit comes a price which is automatically relying on these search engines for information.This creates less practice in life situations and school work. therefore I believe google is making us stupid!!
Year- Round School 11/1
Did you know that students forget 2/3 of what they learn in school over the summer?In my opinion i believe Georgia should join Chicago in their attempt for students to go to school in cycles of eight to 10 weeks, with three to five weeks off after each, throughout the year. That's important in a district criticized for low standardized-test scores and high dropout rates.This may mean no more summer but it could also lead to the effect of more intelligent students.
