Romeo and Juliet :)

      Since we are almost finished with Romeo and Juliet, I decided to write about so of my thoughts about the book, and the scene that we have just finished (I need a new book which is why I am not writing about a book that I am currektly reading).

      To tell you guys the truth, when we first started this Shakespare Unit, I thought that it was going to be tremendously boring. I felt that way because I knew what year he wrote his plays in, and how their language was (I never understood it). But, it's actually really fun. Romeo and Juliet is not just love, but it is a comedy as well which can be acted in many different ways. I feel that this is one of the reasons why I love the Unit so much. And now, I have a new motto...  Never Judge a Unit, by It's Name. Cool right? 

       Scene two of act four is the last scene that we just finished reading. I think that this is a calmer scene in the book, but it is full of lies. Juliet really shows her bad side, as well as her love for Romeo. She tells her father (Capulet)that she is sorry for what she has done and that she is ready to marry Paris. Even though she still hates her father, and does not even love Paris! What a evil little girl... 

        I can't wait to finish the book. I feel that it is going to be good, and I am going to enjoy it. And remember.


        Never Judge a Unit, by It's Name...    Adios :D

      

      

I keep forgetting to take out that book!

      I keep switching from book to book because I keep forgetting to take out "Perfect Chemistry." I was going to take it out tomorrow, but I just remembered that someone took it out already (I'm pissed off!). I was really enjoying that book, so I don't know why I didn't take it out. Anyways, I feel that it is a book that keeps me wanting to read. That's why I want it so much!!!!!

      Now to tell you a little something about the book. It is about two highschool students (boy and girl)that are totally different. The boy (Alex) a gang member in which does not have a great amount of money, and the girl. A rich person, that cares about looks and never gets in trouble. They first meet when they are assigned partners in a science class (both kids are partners). Then they get to know eachother better, even though the girl has a boyfriend, in which they really see how much different they are from each other. But remember, opposites attract...

      I think that's where the author got "Perfect Chemistry" from. I think since he/she (forgot the gender of the author) knew that his/her charcters were purposly made totally opposite from each other, she decided to make it so that they are perfect for each other. All because of opposites being able to attract with one another. I do want to know why she created these characters. Has he/she had any experiences like this before? I guess that could be a reason why he/she decided to write this book.

       Well, I hope I find that book is in the library tomorrow!!! 

That kid is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

             I am really settling into my book now, and I am starting to realize that relating to this book is very hard. He is like a freaking cheetah, that is amazingly talented and very smart, so how could you relate to him. I don't even know a human that is even like him!  

     But besides all of that nonsense, I really think that having this character in the book world, is a great thing for kids of all ages. I think Maniac Magee displays strength, patience, and hard work. I say this because, I feel like now that I am older, I understand what Jerry Spinelli was trying to get across to us readers. Never stop moving forward. Even if at a certain point in your life you feel like you are by yourself, and are helpless. Just never stop.

      And now that we 8th graders are moving on into highschool; a big part of our lives, I feel we all have to keep on moving forward, do hard work, and show your strength. Be the best you can be, but also do it well. And like Maniac Magee, be nice to others and they will be nice to you. Do good things, and good things will come right back to you. But at the same time, you will have to be patient. Just Like. Maniac Magee.

Maniac's!!!!!!

        I've decided to pick up one of my favoroite books, which most of you know.... "Maniac Magee". I remember having to read it with my mom in the 5th grade, only because my teacher wanted me to read a more "challenging" book (the reason why I made "having" in bold is because I was kind of forced to read it). 

         But I am very glad that my teacher made me
 read it because I fell in love with as soon as I read it.I think I related to it in a way which might be the reason I loved it so much. I feel that I was lonely when I was as young as he was  (but just for a few days, nothing like him)because there was a couple of times where my friends have tried to ignore me or treat me wrong which made me feel bad. Then I do something cool or great and their my friends again. JUst like Maniac Magee... Bunch of FAKERS!!! 

          This is the reason why I have decided to read the book again, I want to see if I can still relate to the book the way I did a couple of years ago. So depend on my next blog being about my relations with the book. I hope that I will be able to relate to the book even if I don't relate to it by feeling lonely.

           Adios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Sophia O's Blog Post.

       To me, I feel that Sophia O's blogpost was very entertaining. I enjoyed it alot, mainly because she really made me think about being clueless and how it would effect my life.

       I might want to read this book, so that I can answer her question which was at the end of the blogpost. The question is what made me decide to write about her blogpost. Even though she did really describe how she felt about the book, and gave a brief but factual summary of the book (Loser). I feel that she really went deep into the book, and told us in the last paragraph how she feels about being clueless, and what she would have done if she was in that specific characters spot. 

        I'm guessing that she got a 10/10 on this post because I feel she did everything correctly, considering that she didn't give away the whole book, used thoughtful ideas, and I could totally understand what she was saying. Also her grammer was pretty much correct. 

        So there you go, my All-Star blog is Sophia O.

???????????????????

       I don't know what to name this piece. That is why, I put question marks all over it, not because the title of my book is ??????????????????? I am currently reading a book that is some what confusing(A Bird Flew Under The cookoos Nest). I would understand the book if the language in it was easier to read. The book is written in english, but the words used are kind of like the words used in shakespeare. And they refer to the people in the phsycological institute as the black boys and I don't know why.  

       The book is about a new guy that is new to institute, and tries to be the leader of all the crazy people. He asks alot of questions and is suposedly cool. Then is a lady called the Big Nurse, who is the person that runs the crazy people. And since Ms.Rear said that I put to much retelling it, I shall listen to her, and stop writing about it right now. 
       
       Anyways, I am trying to figure out why the author would do that. It does say that the book was written in the late 1900's, but this date has nothing to do with Shakespear. There has to be a reason. Wait, unless it is written in like Italy, but other than that... Well, I got nothing.
      

OOOOOPS, my mistake.

      I made a terrible mistake about my book called "Of Sound Mind." It is not about a girl who ends up in jail after her friends betray her. Or about her meeting that girl in jail after her friends betrayed her. It is actually about a deaf family besides one son named Theo. His mother and everyone else in his family (besides his dad) relies on him to be able to get on with their lives. But when Theos dad becomes ill, that's when his dad starts to take advantage of his hearing, with the hopes of recovering from the illness. 

       But along the way, Theo meets an amazing girl who appears to be going throught he same thing that he is. Both parents are deaf. Now isn't that wonderful????? Well anyways, they become great friends and become alittle more than that along the way.

       I have read about 25 pages and to tell you the truth, that book is not very interesting. But I am not going to stop reading it. The only reason why I think it is boring is because it is just the beginning. And sometimes, you have to give your book a while before it gets good. And that's  exactly what I am going to do.
