mY MeMOrial DAy weekeND inSider

Over the memorial day weekend i didn't do much of ANYTHING. Its just my typical Saturday and Sunday morning routines. Wake up, take a shower, clean my room and help out in the kitchen... yeah that's some of it. But... on Monday i was happy because I got a frEEkin Ipod tOUch yes TOUCH. Automatic touch!

If i was to do anything i could have done i would have called my friends and we could have gone to a barbecue yesterday. COuldn't do that because i alrEady had plans. hmm... i also could have gotten a plane tickeT and visit my cousin in Paris, France bonjour eeY?

THE LION KINg s0o fun!

Yesterday me and the other handpicked students form our 8th grade team went on a trip to Broadway minskoff theater to watch THE LION KING. This was really my second time going to see the lion king since 3rd grade. Before we went there we went to the restaurant BBQ'S and ordered lunch. i Had some yummy BBq chicked with side of french fries... and cornbread... 0h that lemonade was delicious....! (hungry yet?) L0L


The lion king play was so interesting especially when they were singing and dancing. My favorite character was the monkey Rafiki because she was funny. The play was about how a lion named Simba is supposed to take over his father's throne when he gets older. The uncle Scarr is jealous of his brother's taking of the throne so sets up all this schemes with the hyenas. The hyenas were the dumb ones in this play. 0h Lets not forget Simone and Pumba . They also help guide Simba as he grew. There was also Love in this play. Simba's childhood friend Nala became his queen. WONT TELL YOU THE REST BECAUSE YOU SHOULD SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. WINK WINK. =)

SHOOTER By WalTer dEan mYErs

I recommend this b00k^^^ to anyone who likes reading realistic fiction and stuff about teen issues in real life. This book will steal your attention and you'll be reading it past your bedtime. The events that happened in this book sound so real its like you're reading the daily news. The main parts of the book are mostly interviews about before the events and after. If you don't like the b00k you'll regret it.....=)

BEGGING FOR CHANGE bY sHaron m bLake

Our teacher did a read aloud on the book "Begging For Change" and I thought of the authors purpose. I think the purpose of this book is to inform and entertain. The author wants to inform us about how Raspberry's life is messed up after her mother is attacked by a 17 year old. She's become a thief and that affected her relationship with her friends . The author entertains the readers when it comes to the time when Rasberry and Sato have their "romantic conversations." From all the events that happened you could tell that they like each other.

SHOOTER BY WALter deAn myERs [CONFLICT]

I was reading the book shooter and after i read it i gathered up information about the characters. I say that the conflict in this book is man vs man, man vs society and man vs self. The victim Len was always depressed all the time. He took drugs, and antidepressant medicine. When something happens to him like someone picking on him or getting on his last nerves he would put them on his "enemies list." Len also liked a girl Carla and he would often get on her case. Once he even posted her clinic info on the school website. Cameron is also another follow up person. He was also given antidepressant medicine before for vandalizing a church with Len. He always followed whatever Len did because that was his only friend...

SH00TER by WalTer DeaN MYerS [WHATS THE PURPOSE??]

i just finished reading the b00k and the rest was about the journal/diary that they found in Leonard's home. He talked about how him and hid friends Cam and Carla went shooting at ranges and that Carla always got on his case. The journal entry was kind of confusing because this dude Len does NOT know how to spell. HE actually spelled Tuesday- Toosday. yea.

i think the author's main purpose for that is to show the type of person Len was and how he lived his life before the event. His mother made him record his thoughts in a diary instead of keeping it in his head and being so dull. I also think that if Len was still alive he would really really need therapy more than Britney sPears.[just kidding=)] sO0 thats rEally that much it...

SHOOTER by wAltER deAN MYERs[WHAT IS THEME??]

i just finished reading pgs 130-145. after i read the b00k i summed up everything to think of a theme. The theme of this b00k is learning to stop using guns and depression because thats what m0st of the interviews are based on. Besides the characters in this b00k went to the shooting range as a hobby. I think that gun violence is an issue in real life that needs to st0p. People that mess with guns learn their lesson fr0m it in pris0n 0r fr0m their graves. S0.. basically.. yea thats about it... =l

SHOOTER by wALTer dEAn mYers [SITUATIONS]

Today in my reading i read about the interview with Cameron. Cameron was asked about what happened the 7 days before the incident. Him and Len were going to blow up a dumpster at school by making Cherry bombs. The army uses that. So Len and him went to Len's father's job to get money and when they arrived his father was being yelled at by his boss. Len felt mad and embarrassed so he went home. I would have felt embarrassed if i saw my dad being chewed out by his boss but i wouldn't be so mad like Len was. Len was breathing hard and later he was always getting mad at Carla for nothing. He also called her a Tulsa which is a slut backwards.


Later on a Saturday Len called Cameron and was apologizing and everything and told him his plan on writing stop the violence in his blood in the school. Cameron was clueless but still accompanied him on his plan? Carla just went to open the doors for them in the school and once she got upstairs to where the boys were Cameron grabbed her and they both ran downstairs to go in the closet while Len was just shooting everywhere and screaming. How scary. Cameron and Carla were both safe though.

I think this book was just full of emotions just like a roller coaster. Up goes the anger down goes the depression straight goes the unusual and around is just stranger.[ LoL that was a rhyme catch. ] Thats all i read for today ...
