This week for my blog I am going to be talking about a very sad topic. John Glenn the space hero has died. He was known all around the world for being the first american to orbit earth. He died on Thursday in Ohio he was 95. He was an amazing public figure and he was the first american to orbit earth which is so cool. He was also in the senate for Ohio for 25 years. I think that is amazing to the in the senate to have been the very first american to orbit the earth. I have no words it is just amazing. It is very sad to see an american go. He did amazing things for our country and I will never forget about him. John Glenn was an amazing american and just an amazing guy who in his lifetime was able to go to space and be the first american to go into space and be part of the senate for 25 years that is incredible. He is an amazing guy and we are lucky to be able to say hat he was an american. Overall he was an amazing guy and an amazing astronaut. John glenn fought for our country in the senate for Ohio. He went into space representing our country. Overall I am very sad to see John Glenn go and I wish the best for his family. His is an amazing end extraordinary man and astronaut and I am proud and happy to be able to call him an american. Once again I am sad to see him go and pleased to see the work and the amazing and wonderful legacy he left behind. He was amazing human being and man and I am proud to call him a great american. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/08/us/john-glenn-dies.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spot-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

This week I am going to be talking about the novel ten letters which is a book that our class just finished reading. The book is about how President Barack Obama receives thousands of letters each and every day and how he only reads ten every single night. The book is very interesting because of how it touches on different topics. Each chapter talks about a different person who writes a letter to Obama. Their background and their worries and concerns their situations and their letters. Each chapter talks about drastically different topics. Which in my opinion is very cool. It tells things about their lives their families and if they dislike Obama and love Obama. What I like i how honest everyone is in the book. That some dislike Obama and some people love Obama. This book is very diverse and it shows a lot of different people’s diverse lives that maybe we don’t see everyday. I absoultly love this book and cool and diverse it is and I love how the author could have chosen to put only people that like Obama in the book or people that dislike Obama. But overall he chose to add both kinds of people in to show both sides of the story and spectrum. Overall I really enjoy this book and all it had to offer for me and my class. I love this book and I think it is the best novel we have read in ELA yet. I one hundred percent of this book because of all it has to offer and I love this book so much. Overall my thoughts on this book is I love how diverse it is and how it shows both sides of the story about Obama and his letter that he reads. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/ten-letters-the-stories-americans-tell-their-president-by-eli-saslow/2011/09/09/gIQA9fYM4L_story.html?utm_term=.77b7a5ef5c07 This week for my blog I am going to be talking about a very important issue in today’s society which is gang violence. This is very big because a lot of people injured and potentially killed because these gangs. These big gangs are approaching homeless people and their family and people who are needy and don't live in safe areas and hurting them. I was reading a family that lost their fifteen year old daughter due to gang violence. They celebrated her birthday by her grave. That is very sad this woman has other children and that child that died was her children’s big sister. My aunt is a LAPD Lieutenant for the gang violence department and she is constantly talking about the sad things and stories she hears. She says it is very heart breaking. Overall is very very said how these gangs are just killing people with no remorse and it seems that people are not going to stop. They are killing old people young children they do not care who they kill. Sometimes they kill people because either they do not want to join their gang and they kill them because they do not get what they want. It super super sad to think about they are just killing people which is very sad over all it is very sad. These gangs think they are privileged and they think that they can kill who ever they want and they will be no repercussions. It is just truly sad what is happening under our noses and near our homes and just a few miles away. Gangs are just doing very bad things and it is just overall sad and making me mad just talking about it because people are getting killed and these gangs have no remorse nighther do they care about it because they could care less. Overall it is just very sad and these gangs should just stop and not kill people anymore because it is just 100% just wrong and very very very very sad. They should just stop right now. http://www.lapdonline.org/get_informed/content_basic_view/1396 This week for my blog I am going to talk about tags. Tags are the adjectives we use at the end of dialogue in writing giving the reader a better description of the character’s dialect and tone. Tags are very important because they add a level of description that you just can’t get anywhere else. Tags are important because it will make your writing sound more educated and interesting. In class we are currently making a narrative about a monster that is misunderstood. Then later one we will make a model of our monster. For this reason that is why the essay needs to have tags in order for it to be descriptive. It needs to be extra descriptive because of the fact that we are going to make it into a monster. While reading the essay you need a lot of tags to make it descriptive in order to get a very very detailed picture in your head on what the monster looks like. That is why tags are very important because they add a lot of description along with a better sense and picture in your head of what the character sounds and looks like along with their dialect. What they sound like perhaps they have an accent perhaps they have a funny dialect to figure those things out the reader needs to get a better picture of the personality of the character that is talking through there dialect and the tags that are being used to define them and the appearance along with their personality. That is why it is very important to have many different tags in you writing. A few great tags would be exclaimed, shouted, muttered, said, acknowledged, admitted, nagged, questioned, retorted, sang, etc. In conclusion for those reasons that is whey should use more tags in your writing. http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson291/dialogue_tag.pdf This week form my blog I am going to talk about last nights presidential debate. Last night was the candidates last chance to persuade and maybe lock in their votes, but it did not seem that. When you hear that it was their last chance you would think that they would be talking about world issues but no they were both talking about each other and pointing the finger. They both felt it was more important to point the finger and say this person said this and that person is that and he is bad and she is worse. Donald did this and hilary did that. What was crazy is the Donald Trump blamed his rape scandal on Hilary saying that it is her fault because she always lies and starts violence which is crazy the rapes were so many years ago and he is blaming her. Overall there were a lot of pointing fingers and the fact of the matter is they are more concerned about making the other one look bad instead of persuading the people through what they are going to do as the president for the America. Again they should be focusing on their campaign and not stick their noses in the other person’s campaign because all that does is cause problems and that is not right. Overall they should not stick their noses in what does not belong to them because that just causes problems and that is not good for the overall campaign. I believe if you want to win make you campaign heart felt and worth something instead of making you oponent look bad when really that is making you look bad. Overall those are my thoughts on the debate and the election in general. I hope you enjoyed my blog. http://www.usatoday.com/pages/interactives/2016/election/poll-tracker/ This week for my blog I am going to talk about a book I am reading called Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. The book is about and old man who lives out near the sea with a young boy but there is one problem they have not caught fish in 84 days. They are starving and the only food they eat is tea and sardines. The book is awesome because the boy is not the old man’s son but the old man treats him as if he was his son. They have a great relationship. Sadly later on in the book the young boy ends up leaving and going back home because his dad told him that the old man was unlucky because he has not caught fish in 84 days but the young boy disagrees and does not want to leave but ends up leaving because he eventually caves because his dad is strong and wont give up. So, now the old man is left alone in the sea by him self trying to catch fish. One time he tried to catch a marlin but the marlin did not swallow the hook and was just swimming everywhere and dragging the old man everywhere for four hours. That is insane but the old man did not give up and help on for four hours and overall did not get the fish but he almost did but some how the fish got free and swam away. The entire time the old man who is known as Santiago was worried because he was thinking that the fish was going to swim down and bring him with him. Overall I love this book. It is very entertaining because and sweet friendship between the boy and the old man. http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/oldman/ This week for my blog I am going to talk about the Charlotte Riots. This is a very big issue in today’s society. It all started on September 20, 2016 when Keith Lamont Scott, a 43 year-old African American man was fatally shot by a police officer and when the trial results came back in the police man favor the rights began. The riots are insane there was a man that was shot by a civilian. Then the riots got crazy. People are robbing stores. They are robbing houses and breaking and entering everywhere. It is absolutely insane. Protesters are throwing water bottles and rocks at the police because they are so mad. Protesters are holding Black Lives Matter signs. It was so bad that the police unloaded tear gas on the protesters. The police also used rubber bullets. They even vandalized the NASCAR Hall Of Fame. This protest is so dangerous that the governor called a state of emergency. This is a huge issue in the world right know because police are killing black people and there are more riots and protests . A lot of the protests have signs that say black lives matter or stop killing us. The protest in Charlotte is very tragic and dangerous to the people who live in charlotte. If something is not changed then there will be more and more protests happening in the world right now and that is very dangerous. We do not want more riots like the one back in the 90’s in Los Angeles California. Overall my thoughts and personal opinions are very strong about this. I believe that all lives matter and that the police should stop killing. I believe that when they are in a rough situation the first thing that they think about should not be to kill. Those are just some of my opinions on that matter. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/21/us/charlotte-police-shooting/ This week for my blog I am going to be talking about a very important issue. This issue is the Boko Haram kidnapping. On 14 April 2014 276 School girls were kidnapped from the Chibok Government Secondary School by Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria. This girls we just trying to get an education and were punished for trying to learn which in my opinion is very wrong. These terrorists think that they can just take these girls because they think that girls having an education is wrong. That is absolutely wrong. These girls were kidnapped in April and still have not been found. This is a very big issue because in the middle east girls are denied education which in all cases is wrong. Girls either have to sneak to school in hopes that they won’t be caught or they dress like boys to go to school. There are many big faces who have talked about this issue such as Malala Yousafzai and Michelle Obama. They have shared their thoughts on on it and even used the hashtag # bring out girls back. In my opinion this is very important because woman are human and people too. They should be treated as if hey were human because now they are treated so poorly. Woman should not by any means be denied an education. Woman / girls should not have to hide to get an education. Much less have to dress as the opposite sex to get an education . In my opinion that is very wrong because woman are human to and should be treated like it. Over all this a very big topic and a very sad topic. I believe woman should have the same rights as men, because men are just like woman because they are human overall this is a very sad and serious topic that should be acted on. http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/world/boko-haram.htm This week for my blog I am going to talk about a very big social issue. This issue is gender equality in the workplace. This is a very big issue in the world today because a lot of women are getting payed significantly less than a man is. In my opinion that is wrong, just because a person is of a different gender does not meant that that person deserves to get payed less. I am not talking about a woman who has different job than a male gets different salaries if they have a different job than of coarse they will get payed differently. I am talking about a woman who has the same job and as a man get payed differently. This is very unfair to woman because that means that they cannot get payed as a man. Recently I saw that Secret the deodorant company made a commercial taking about gender inequality in the workplace ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ilSeJ6B5ro ). That commercial really spoke out to me because Secret made a big move in making a commercial that touched on a big social issue. This issue has been a thing for a long time and a lot of people protest about it. It is huge and even some companies have changed their ways but not all companies have and that is a big issue. That means that there are people who think that is ok and it is one hundred percent not ok. It is very bad and unjust. How could someone thing that it was ok to do this and they do not even tell their employees. A lot of companies kept it such a secret and a lot of employees did not find out for years . Which is so wrong because no one should be treated differently because of the gender, age , race, or who they love. http://forwomen.org/forbes-dont-publish-sexist-op-eds/?gclid=CjwKEAjwmMS-BRCm5dn51JLbp1wSJACc61tFWm1zYF7zJN9xb70FaiXCVR_riejBIZND4_HJB9ZkyRoCIjHw_wcB This week for my blog I am going to be talking about Finals. Now finals is a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because if you get a good grade on them they will raise your score in the subject overall. But the bad thing is if you get a bad grade on the final your grade lowers significantly. Finals week is a very stressful week all the studying and all of the tests. on Tuesday we had out Social Studies final and our Religion final. On Wednesday we had our ELA final. On Thursday we had our Math and Science final. As you can see we had a lot of finals. It was stressful and crazy due to the weird schedules that we had to adjust to. We made it through and it was difficult but the important part was that it is over and delt with. It was one of my most stress full weeks yet but we made it through. Now next week all we have it there days of school left and that is it. Then we have summer. I am so excited for summer items going to be a memorable one and an exciting one. I think it will be one of the best summers yet . Thank god finals are over and now all I have to look forward to is summer and a lot of fun in the hot sun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_examination
