HOLOCAUST

Term: Holocaust





When I hear the word holocaust I think of a mass killing of a people. It's terrible to think that a word can have so much meaning of death and destruction.





Intro to the author:


The author of this book is a very curageous person to have when through what he went through.
what I know about him is that he went through the holocaust and survived because of his age. If he had been older he may have not survived to tell his tale.
Theme: Courage...
I belive that the theme of courage goes well with this book because it would take an enormus amount of courage to endure the horrors of the holocaust in a concentration camp.

My Research Topic

The topic that I chose to put into the class research paper is, sports in the 1920's. I chose this topic cause I already have some knowledge on the subject and I also thought that it would be fun to learn some new things.

Prom Week!

The week before prom was a pretty long week. Waiting, waiting, and more waiting, for just about anything and everything. It was hectec, trying to find a good tux and for her to find a dress that she would like. finally though we got all of our things and it was nice to see us in our outfits.
I'll do it all again next year because it was so fun though. My first Prom, and I thought that prom was pretty good.

Nature's First Green is Gold

Natures first green is gold. I've really never thought, or noticed it, but I have recently discovered that it actually is. Trees outside of my house in the morning have a very gold tint to them. I know that later on that it wont be there, nothing in nature is indefinate. So we need to cherish what is beautiful now because it may be gone before we know it.
Only things that are like this, people have to get up and actually go outside to see. Seeing it on TV and seeing it in actual life are two opposite things, in the right situation natures gold can be and awe inspiering scene.

Spring Break

The Spring Break I had this year was a pretty interesting one, I had my wisdom teeth cut out. My wonderful, I guess you could say, Spring Break started on friday morning at about 4:00a.m. which was way to early for me to be up. I was on anti anxiety medication before hand so I really wasn't to worried about it at all.
Afterwards was the worst, it was really painful and I didn't want to eat, or for that matter I couldn't eat anything. For the next few days all I could manage to eat was a few packs of Ramen Noodles, which by the way are really good.
Close to the end of my spring break, around Thursday, when the stitches that were in my mouth finally dissolved away and I was back to eating normally and I wasn't on pain medication anymore. So I was a pretty happy guy at that point in time.
So my Spring Break this year was interesting, and I could bet yours wasn't as painful as mine.

Halo Contact Harvest Review


Have you wondered what the future might ever be like? If you were to read Halo Contact Harvest by Joseph Staten you would get a ficticious but maybe not so far off look at how the future of humanity might be like.
This book takes place over the course of a couple of years and it describes what happens to a man named Avery Johnson, who is a seargeant in the Marines. Also it fallows a man named Jenkins, who is a farmboy on a colony world called Harvest.
Contact Harvest doesn't take place on Earth, it takes place on a colony world called Harvest which is a hot humid agricultural planet that produces a major amount of all of the colonies. The book also takes place on a couple of other less important places but the major part of the story is on Harvest.
I can't really think of a theme for this book though, it was a little hard to peice together for me. If I was to put a theme to this book it would be to fight for what is yours and protect it with your life if necisary.
I would recomend this book to anyone who is interested in science fiction novels.

Civil war

My sisters are always fighting with each other, in nasty little violent episodes of screaming fits and a lot of slapping.
Me and my friends sometimes get into it a little, but it's not a violent fight, it's really just trying to see who can be the biggest smart-elec.
My friend and his mom have some pretty interesting bouts, but you can't really consider it fighting, its more like playing but it's pretty rough.
