Quote: It isnt fair she said. A stone hit her on the side of her head. Old man warner was saying " Come on come on everyone. " Steve Adams was in front of the crowd of villagers with mrs. Graves beside him.
Response: this story really helped me connect with the author because i always right crazy stories and this was a pretty crazy story. No one ever one any thing and what they did win wasn't a prize.A question i have for the author is why would he make everyone enter for such a horable thing.I also enjoyed the way she didn't want to except her prize.
quote: Mr.Summers consulted his list. " clyde Dunbar."He said."Thats right. He broke his leg,hasnt he .
Response: This is weird the he still has to enter a raffle when his leg is broke i dont think thats fair at all. I also think it isnt fair that kids have to enter also,and the have the kids heating rocks. I think the author wrote this story in a very good manner because every one was interested in wat was gonna happen in the end.

The garden blog
The garden was a great experience for me and my class. I think the 12Th graders did a wonderful job making this garden. some of the questions i asked were
What made you grow this plant- they responded different ideas different people.
What happens to the plants over the summer- the teacher said he wasn't sure and that there trying to find people.
How long did it take to grow all of these crops- they started in October
Questions For Me : What struck you about it - the thing that struck me was how many plants and vegetables they had.
What does the garden look like - the garden is a really pretty place and it looks like a garden and it has like a little pond.
What did you like or not like about the garden - what i liked about the garden was that everything that was growing looked nice and healthy.
Plants that were there -
Strawberry
Greens
Cabbage
Chard
Mint
Flowers
Basil
Oregano
Lettuce
Carrots
Beets
Potatoes

Talking these ideas out
The family member i talked to was my mother. I started of by telling her how harmful are food can be that we buy in the stores, and i also told her how the cow owners would do any thing they could to make the cows stand up so they could slotter them. They will roll them over with machines and lots of other horrible things.My moms reaction to this was she did'nt know any thing about this and she thought twice about eating meat. The thing that struck me the most was when your food says all natural it can just be one ingredient that's all natural. i agree and disagree with these concepts. I agree because i at meat. I disagree because i don't want animals being treated wrong. I can apply these things to the real world by letting people who don't know aware of whats going on.

my ishmael
Quote:
Like most five year old she was thrilled for her imagining that some truly wonderful experience must be awaiting her . It was only several months later that i began to notice her excitement was fading.
Response: I agree 100% with the author because im going through school and i feel the same way. The way Ishmael thinks about life makes me think that the system should be changed into a way that kids always want to attend school.This interest me because i can relate to it. A question i have for the author is do you have a deep understanding of and on the world.

“I’m clipping my nails as I do every night before dinner when my sister comes in the door with the baby, I’m on the last nail when I finish I will get up. “Hey sis, hi baby hello hello.”
“Well she doesn’t like me.”
“Yes she does she’s just tired” ok then”
When I came out from under the house from eating I was stopped by my sister.”
“Will you watch the baby because me and mom want to go out tonight?”
“Well I guess, but don’t think I will have fun watching the little flibbertigibbet thing.”
“Thanks”
“Yeah you better hope she cooperates for your sake.”
“Ok your done lets go take a bath now.”
“No more play”
“No let’s take your clothes off and get in the bath”
“I will let you play with some toys in the bath”
“Well I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t clip her nails because it can turn ugly.”
“Well sit down I’m going to go get the clippers.”
“Let’s wash up so I can clip your nails”

I grab her throat as if i’m holding on to the back of a car going 100 mph on the free way I thought I could cajole her into getting her nails clipped but it didn’t work that way no. I held her head under water until the lifeless carcass stopped shaking. Then I clipped away.”
Her sister walked in the bathroom “Oh I forgot my …… oh my gosh! “What happened here?
“I just sat there and stared”
“She wouldn’t cooperate so I had to kill her and use my nail clippers as a panacea for her nails.”
“I told mom this was a bad idea to ask you to watch my baby.”
“Then why did you ask me to watch her then.”
“I’m calling the police I cant believe you would do something like this I thought I could trust you and you betrayed me. “
“You’re not calling anyone ok I’m sorry you just cant do that.”
“Please stop I don’t want to have to kill you to.”
“Mom my sister yelled.”
“I guess ill have to do you like the baby huh?”
“You killed my child and now you want to kill me how low down can you get.”
