When they got to their field it was already in use. They asked when they were going to be done. They only had a couple minutes left. They left, but it started to rain. They didn’t want to go home because they wanted to play. So they didn’t listen to their parents. When they finished they started heading home. But the only problem was they didn’t know the way back they couldn’t. All their footprints were washed away. They couldn’t see where the sun was or where it was setting. They needed to think fast because it looked like a bad storm is coming in. They knew they needed to trust their parents. They were thinking of splitting up or staying together. Then one of them checked their phones to see if they can call one of the parents but they had no signal. They started to remember they game out of the trees from left field so they started to walk from left field. They didn’t remember any of the things they were walking by. They were thinking if it was right field or left field. Then it occurred to them that after it rains things don’t look the same. So they kept on walking. Then they heard thunder. Then they were blinded by lightening. They started to panic. They started running when a tree fell and someone tripped over it. We all had to stop and think. We either could leave and come back for him or carry him and risk our energy. We decided to carry him we probably didn’t have much more to go. When one person got tired the next person would carry him. Luckily he was light so we carried him almost… We all got tired so we stopped. The one thing we didn’t know at the time that we were walking parallel to the road. Then someone got the idea to go sideways just in case. Well they were right. We ended up on a road. We didn’t know what street it was until we saw a sign. We were in a different city. So we went to a pay phone and tried. Nobody answered the phone. We called a taxi to take us back home. When we got back home my parents were so happy to see me. I said I will always listen to you. Since that day I have always listened to my parents. = = Tyler Rose Short Story One day my identical twin and I went out. We were walking down the street when I saw one of my friends from school. He went up to my identical twin and said, “Tyler Do you want to come to my party I am having?” Bill (my identical twin) said, “I’m not Tyler, I am bill, he is Tyler”, pointing to me.” He turned towards me and asked me if I wanted to go. I said yes. He told me later I couldn’t bring my twin. So I had to decide if I go and leave Bill, or not go at all. After a while I was thinking of a way to get both of us in. So a week later the party came up. Bill would wait at the back door when I go in I will go to the back door and pop it open so he can come in. But security was high so that plan was gone. I went outside to get a breather you have to have your invitation to get in. I went around back to think of a new plan. We were thinking then I got it. I go in show him my ticket go pull the fire alarm. But once again my plan didn’t work there was no fire alarms to pull they were all upstairs. That’s right there was upstairs. Bill can climb to the window on the upper level. When I went out there I told him the plan. He started to climb up. When he got in the window we went down stairs. We both enjoyed the party. This happened to us again, but we already knew what to do. = = Tyler Rose Short Story One day my identical twin and I went out. We were walking down the street when I saw one of my friends from school. He went up to my identical twin and said, “Tyler Do you want to come to my party I am having?”

Bill (my identical twin) said, “I’m not Tyler, I am bill, he is Tyler”, pointing to me.”

He turned towards me and asked me if I wanted to go. I said yes. He told me later I couldn’t bring my twin. So I had to decide if I go and leave Bill, or not go at all. After a while I was thinking of a way to get both of us in.

You can get life threatening disease. If you eat Mc. Donald’s every day you will gain a lot of weight, and you make your heart work more.= =You can become obese. 30 people die per year because they are obese. Mc. Donald’s lure kids and families to their restaurant by putting playgrounds, signs and happy meals. There are over 83 McDonalds alone. A McDonalds serves over 47,000 people every day.= =When you are obese your heart has to work harder to pump your blood around body. This can lead to a bad heart, heart attack, high blood pressure, strokes just to name a few. All these are life threatening. This also could lead to liver dysfunction and disease.= =Overtime the amount of sugar and carbohydrates in junk food can lead to type 2 diabetes. This happens when you eat so much sugar that your metabolism gets stressed.. When you eat a lot of refined sugar and simple carbohydrates your body has to produce more insulin to prevent a spike in blood sugar levels.. Junk food doesn’t contain the protein and good carbohydrates that your body needs to keep your blood sugar level normal.=

= = Tyler Rose 5-13-14 “Supersize Me” Movie In the movie “Supersize Me” the guy tried to make a point that junk food kills people. He ate Mc. Donald’s for 30 days every breakfast, lunch and dinner. He had three doctors that he saw when he didn’t feel good and like every 5 days I think. In the begging he was 185 and after thirty days he weighed 210. But he had chest pains, he felt depressed, and he had to deal a lot of amount of sickness like throwing up and more. He made his heart work very hard because when you are obese or heavy the heart has to work very hard to pump all that blood. 30 people die because they are obese. He was proving all the bad things that can happen to you. I liked the movie. I think obesity is a bad thing and a lot of people today are obese. I think that movie showed people what happens when you eat a lot of junk. = = Tyler Rose 5-8-14 My Long-Term and Short-Term Goals My short-term goals are to do all my homework. I have to complete my homework because I am trying to raise my grades. I also need to see what I can do to raise my grades. Another one of my short-term is to not talk a lot so I can raise my citizenship grades. My long-term goals are to maintain my grades. I can do this by do all the homework and to study. Before a test I can review what I need to know for the test. Also I can maintain my citizenship grades by not talking and doing all my classwork. = = Tyler Rose 4-23-14 Story Summary The people would ask for thing from the king. But one person wanted a boat. When he knocked on the door the king told his secretary and passed the message down to the cleaning lady and she had nobody to tell so she asked what he wanted. Then it had to go all the way back to the king then all the way back to the person and so on. Then when he got the boat he set sail off to find the unknown island. This story is called, “The Tale of the Unknown Island”. Jose Saramago was the author of this story. This is a part of the folk tales and fables genre. I chose this story because in the beginning by the title I thought it was a mystery and I like mysteries. The main character is the king or the person asking for the boat. The setting is at the kings castle or wherever he lives.

= = Tyler Rose 4-22-14 “Miracles” In the poem “Miracles” the author (Walt Whitman) is saying what he thinks are miracles. He names all these distinct settings and at the end of line 15 he says how they are miracles. In the very beginning he says, “Why, who makes much of a miracles?” He stated that so the reader will knows what miracles are. This poem is called, “Miracles”. The speakers name is Walt Whitman. This poem’s genre is Poetry. I chose to read this poem because I like the speaker. Also because we are learning about Poetry so I wanted to read this. Lastly I wanted to read this poem because I can’t explain miracles and he can. The setting of this poem is all over because he is talking about different places and miracles. = = Tyler Rose 4-21-14 1. The hardest thing to fulfill would be “if you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,” because I would never bet everything I worked hard for on one thing. The easiest to fulfill is “walk with kings-nor lose the common touch,” because even though you hang out with cool people doesn’t make you cool. 2. Five conditions are; Trust yourself when people doubt you, don’t act different when you hang out with different people, Don’t wait too long and get impatient, Don’t let anyone hurt you or change you, and don’t let you think you can do something that you can never do. 2b. They all are trying to tell you not to let anyone or anything change you. 4. The two imposters are Triumph and Disaster. 4b. He advised to treat them like imposters because they can come at any time. They can look nice then turn out very bad. 6. Yes young people today can learn from this. Especially because kids care about what other people think of them. = = = = Tyler Rose 4-16-14 Questions 1-4 Page 1. Yes, I would like to meet the speaker of the poem because it seems like he likes nature like me. 2. The speaker is being compared to trees and flowers. 3. He said he will always be himself. 3b. The speaker is trying to say that you should be yourself and don’t let anyone change you personally. 4. He feels alone, and he also feels miserable. 4b. Forlorn made me think he was alone and miserable. 4c. In society people are “just me” when they move from a different state or change schools because you don’t know anyone in the beginning. = = Tyler Rose 4-15-14 Questions 1-5 on Page 39 1. I would rather spend time with the speaker from “I’m Nobody” because even though he is alone he also doesn’t care if he is alone he doesn’t really want to be a “somebody”. 2. A. The speaker in lines 4 and 5 is relaxing. He doesn’t want to spend time with anyone but himself. 2B. “I celebrate myself” means that he is alone and he is celebrating that he has no worries. 3. He is saying that he is very tiny compared to the world in the line “One world is aware, and by far the largest to me…” 3B. He thinks that he is a normal person and doesn’t care what people think or say about him. 3C. Whitman is saying that you don’t have to care about what people think. 4. If she revealed that she is a “nobody” she will be banished and turn to a “somebody”. 3b. She doesn’t want to be a “somebody” she is dreary about being a “somebody”. 3c. She is suggesting that celebrities names are everywhere. Also mostly everyone knows your name. 5. She makes two key differences that nobodies are better than somebodies and they are, people won’t talk about you because they don’t know you and two you aren’t out there. 5B. It depends if you are around nice people than yes I would like to be a somebody but, I wouldn’t want to be a somebody if I am around mean/rude people.

The Ending for //the Outsiders//
====The ending for //The Outsiders// is going to be cool. I think the ending is going to have people wanting to know more. Maybe it can leave you thinking there should be a second one. I hate when books do that but it makes you want to buy another book.==== I think there mom and dad wasn’t really dead and when Ponyboy’s name comes out in the paper that he has to go to the boys home his parents come to the court and supports him and soda. Darry might have known the whole time that they are alive but never wanted to tell them because he didn’t want to make them sad.

= = Tyler Rose 2-26-14 In Two Years From Now In two years from now I will be in high school. I am going to be going to Madison. When I get there my sister won’t be there she will graduate when I graduate 8th grade. When I am in 9th grade I will know a lot of seniors because they come to my house a lot for my sister. Also my friend’s brother would be a senior when we are a freshman.

Also I would want to be playing baseball on the high school team. I will probably have baseball as my PE after I complete PE. I might play two or more sports. Like I might run track or play football or basketball. I wonder if I would be taking the same amount of classes because I might have done all my classes that I need to go to college. = = = = Tyler Rose 2-18-14 6th Grade VS 7th Grade Sixth grade you had to take the CST’s and seventh grade you don’t. Also you have recces and 7th grade doesn’t. Another thing is you have more classes. 7th grade has more classes and more periods. 7th grade you have to do everything like all the subjects. 6th and 7th grade are the same because you still have mostly the same classes. You still have to take PE. Only in some classes you have to take the benchmark. You have homework. Also you have quizzes and tests.

Tyler Rose 2-12-14 Should Schools Put Tracking Devices in Students’ I.D. Cards? By SHANNON DOYNE No schools shouldn’t put tracking devices in students I.D. cards. One reason is because what happens if they are going out with family or friends and it is in their wallet the school doesn’t need to know where they are. It is a good reason if they have them to prevent people from ditching, but some schools can’t afford to have them. The school can only go so far without crossing the limits of privacy. Students need their privacy.

Tyler Rose 2-5-14 SE Hinton Questions 1. 1. SE Hinton was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 2. 2. She wasn’t satisfied with literature that was being written for young adults that’s what influenced her to write the //Outsiders//. 3. //3.The Outsiders// was published in 1967. . 4. 4 Some of her book were taught in schools and banned from other schools. One of her hobbies was horseback riding. = = Tyler Rose 2-4-14 Four Word in Context Reformatory means a jail like place. Explanation: I think it means that because reform means to change and you change from bad to good in jail (sometimes). Bewildering means confused. Explanation: I think it means confused because he could have been confused why time was going by so fast. Corn-poney means corny Explanation: I think it means corny because it has corn in it and I substituted the word in there and it sounded fine. Premonition means to have a bad feeling in something. Explanation: I think it means to have a bad feeling in something because the sentence before said creepy feeling. = = Tyler Rose 2-3-14 Vince Lombardi Trophy The Vince Lombardi Trophy is a symbol of winning the Super Bowl. When players when the Super Bowl there team is rewarded with a trophy this trophy is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy. This symbol is really rare because only one team in the NFL gets it per year. This year the Seahawks went back to Seattle with the trophy. That was there first Vince Lombardi Trophy every in Seahawk history. = = Tyler Rose 1-29-14 Life in 20 Years In 20 years I hope I will be still playing baseball. I want to play baseball in the major leagues when I am older. I want to go to college on a full ride scholarship for education and sports (baseball) a college like San Diego State. I want to drive a nice car. Also I want to have a good paying off season job and a family. A nice house and a pool in the house would be a good life in 20 years. That’s what I want my life to be in 20 years.

1. Yes, I have a friend ethnic background is different than mine. It affects the relationship between us because we celebrate different holidays. 2. . It affects someone if they live in a bad they will be influenced so they will grow up being bad. 3 . A gang is like a family because they look after each other and stick together. 4 . I think to be a hero you save a life or do something that helps the world. 5 . I think the meaning of an “outsider” is someone or something that doesn’t belong. == Tyler Rose 1-6-13 Should Schools Stop Sports, Yes A reason why they should stop sports is America is falling behind academically. All the other countries are smarter. Another reason why they should stop sports is it costs a lot of money which can be spent on academic stuff. School start earlier so the football team can have daylight to practice in. Traveling takes time away from studying and money from the school.

1. I think the meanest thing Scrooge did was, he said to his nephew, I would rather die than go dine with your family. I think that’s the meanest thing because he won’t dine with his own family. 2. Jacob Marley was working with Scrooge when he was alive. When he was talking in a disgusted way when he was describing Scrooge. Scrooge and Marley were the same because I think they acted the same about work. Also they are serious about work. 6. A hint that Scrooge gives of him changing for better is when he goes with the Ghost of Christmas came and he saw Tiny Tim was sick he begged the ghost to tell him if Tiny Tim was going to live. People can change dramatically because if you feel bad you might change because you feel bad.

**12-16-13 ** **The Christmas Carol and The Grinch Stole Christmas ** = A //Christmas Carol is// very much like the movie //The Grinch Stole Christmas// for many reasons. First of all, Scrooge and Grinch both didn’t like Christmas. In //The Grinch Stole Christmas// the Grinch tried to steal the kid’s presents. In the //Christmas Carol// Scrooge was mean to the kids and families. In the movie Scrooge declined all his dinner invites and he wouldn’t put any coals in the fire when his worker was cold. = = Scrooge and Grinch both cared about Christmas in the end. After the Grinch stole those presents he realized what he did wrong and tried to fix it. When scrooge went with the ghosts he saw what the people were saying about him. Also scrooge felt bad he wasn’t at any of the dinners. =

He is stingy because he wouldn't donate money for the poor. In the middle he starts becoming a better person when he sees Bob Cratchit son and asked the spirit  if he will live. Also when he heard what other people said bad about him and nothing good. **

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">In the end he is generous because he donated a lot of money to the poor. He gave a kid money for buying him the turkey, then he gives the turkey to the Cratchit’s. Also he doesn't get mad when Bob is late for work he even doubled Bob's salary. He goes to see his nephew and his wife and he is very nice to them. He tells the singers that they sing very good and gives them some money. He enjoys Christmas now. **
