the topic is weather

Wow! There is a lot of snow outside. Everyone is hoping for a snow day tomorrow. I really couldn't care less. Let's see, in school, we are learning about human rights, I think. We learned about people who are gay and how they are treated at schools, churches, at home and in the military. It's really sad but true. Well, we just had our choir concert. It was two of them in one day, so that was intense. The first concert was bad, but the second one was a lot better. I wish they had recorded that one instead. I am so glad that this is going to be the last week until winter break. I think we are going to New York to see that amazing big Christmas tree. That'll be fun. And in Chinese, we are learning about weather and transportation. And on Tuesday, we are going to talk to Chinese people about all of the snow. That would be good.

Yeah.

     Well, this week has gone by and I don't think much has changed. In English, we've talked about the Holocaust and other stuff like that. I think it's just another boring week. But I get to do some theatre stuff soon. The Holiday Marathon is coming soon and I can't wait until it comes back. Then there is Varsity Varieties after that and then the Spring Musical. Oh well, until then, I guess. I can't wait for Christmas break to come so I can do nothing and nothing and.......... nothing. Ok, my mind is a complete blank right now. Let me think of something else. In speech, we are working on our final speech and I think I can actually get somewhat of a good grade on this. Because it is going to be something that I actually know about. It's going to be about the best book series ever. Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I don't think that there is anything else to say. By the way, this might have been the longest blog I have ever done. I put too much thinking and too much blanking out into this blog. Right........ see ya!

Black History Paragraphs

     Well, the first question says "Using specific names an places, briefly summarize the capters from Nightjohn in your own words." Let's see, it's all about a girl named Sarny who is just a little African girl in the south who is just trying to keep positive. And, soon, she meets a man who everyone calls Nightjohn. The first night he was there, he was trying to trade for tobacco with "letters". Good thing that Sarny sad some and that is how she was starting to learn to read. Which is not allowed down south. Speaking of which, Nightjohn was actually from the south and had escaped to the north. There he had learned English and wanted to teach other people down south. So he came back. Then the rest of the story is all about how he teaches her the first three letters of the alphabet.
     Next, this question is "Using specific names and places, briefly summarize 'Mascot' in your own words." It's just a story about Malcom X and how his life was.  And's really how it's about how he was in high school and counts himself as the "Mascot" of the school because of how he is.
     And last is "Using specific details from the setting and story, compare ad contrast The Great Debaters to the two stories we read in class." Okay. So the setting is school just like the Mascot but up north unlike Nightjohn. There were many people who were black there just like Nightjohn and unlike Mascot where there were barely any. But they were all about segregation and racism and that is what we were trying to link all we learned together.
