           The grade I earned I my essay was kind of surprising because I thought I did really good in it. I received a B in it but I felt that I did an A essay. I don't disagree with the grade I got I just feel that I did well in it. Over all I tried my best & got a good grade. I also been doing good in this class because I do most of my blogs. I have some missing assignments but I think I got caught up with most of them. I think my grade should be a high C or a low B.

After th 10000000x....finally got it!!!!

The consequences of a hacker

The story about the hacker is interesting. He's only like 13 years old & he knows all this stuff. I'm 16 & I don't know more stuff then him. He judges persons about all the dumb things he says. Then he says that people call him a criminal for being a hacker. So he says a lot of bad stuff that the world does bad & that he still ends up being the criminal. The ending was like a scary ending & that made me want to read another passage of this author.

The Big Question

How come people are so fast to judge a cop, just because other bad cops did something wrong? Are every cop the same?


I got a new question...why every time a girl asked a guy if there a virgin & before the guy answers they say that aren't anymore...is it just stereotype because we're "guys"?


how do we see police officer in our culture?


How do we seen men and women in our culture?

Class Notes

Tone is the form on how the author's addtitude towards the character topic or audience. Then we learned about the real meaning about truth. truth is something that which can be factuated vertified in the world.

Ancient Stories

1. The language in the text is similar to our everyday language because the animals are talking the same like us.
2.It is important to be repeated word for word becomes if the words are changed then there's going to be a different meaning to the story.
3.

Story Review

The story "the Earth on Turtles Back" is about a wealthy family & they believed that every dream should come true. The ancient Chiefs wife fell in the hole & while falling swans came & saved her. The swans notice that she wasn't like them so she couldn't swim. So then to save her they had to get a bit of earth. So every animal that was there tried to go deep in the ocean but didn't succeed. Finally a muskrat came & tried, she was almost dying until she used all her strength & cam back to the surface with the piece of earth. They put it on top of the turtles back & over time it grew & grew, then became earth.
