I was like what is she thinking it’s way too early to be running around but I just went with It. So we all run of into the car and throw our entire luggage and food that we might eat on the way as me and my three brothers were shoving and messing around with each other showing how excited we were. As we start the car we head off to the camp sight campo Rune So I take a quick nap. And in a snap I woke up to the birds chirping and chipmunks running around. As we start un packing we set up our tent and fix up our camp sight but as time fly’s we start up are camp fire and get our marshmallow’s and chocolate and start toasting up some snacks after we all have some food we start singing and just relaxing but we hear a loud scream and someone running through the forest and leaves crackling so we all let it pass thinking it was a little animal but I actually saw someone but we heard it again and again. After that we knew something was up and once again I spot that thing and it was really really dark out so it could be my imagination But this time it trips and falls right in the middle of our camp are and ask him a series of questions and he makes it seems like nothing happened and all of us believed him pretty well so he just hangs out with us for a while but I really knew he was lying. When everybody was talking and distracted he started to do some really weird stuff and I was the only one really noticing him he was steeling all of our food and clothes so I ran and found him when he tried to escape our camp sight so I bring him in the circle again and they really were believing him. But this time I watched him get the girl that was screaming and kill her and he knew I saw him so he made a run for it and I lost it but There was more than one of them doing this crime so I set up a trap and catch all of them.

 * MAN VS NATURE**

Ahh wow what a nice day as I squint from the sun blinding me. As I wake up for my plane trip to Hawaii I jump in the shower and get ready. After I make some coffee and cereal so as I finish up I hop in my car and head off to the airport I try hard to rush and I make in time so I weight and weight and finally my plane comes up so I walk over in my plane and then were on our way.

But By the looks of it we are going to be running into some thunder storms and then I’m thinking dang it I should have never booked it for this week. But I just go with it but after a while it started to get crazy the plane was swaying side to side everybody was hanging on to their children but as I look out of the window are engine gets in gulfed with flames and its pouring rain and lighting.

As we start going down I pull down the oxygen mask and I start feeling dizzy and at that time I’m blinking and dazing off. Ohh what happen as start trying to stand up this doesn’t look like Hawaii to me. But were on some sort of island and theirs people getting munched on so I grab the blade out of my pocket and cut the seat belt and run out of the safety exit but as I glance back I see dead body’s torn open vultures attacking them.

But I reach a safe and secure area with an overhang. So I Use my dad’s old trick to start a fire and it worked then I started to think to myself how am I going to get food so as I make a spear out of sticks and rocks I go hunting and I saw a nice looking bird so as I creep on it I take a good throw and nail it in the chest so that’s one. As I’m walking carefully I find a really nice cave so I decide to check it out and their seems to be a lot of crabs but I hear leaves crumbling.

Then I get that weird feeling that I’m not alone one bit so I set turn around really fast and their it is defending her cubs a Puma but I threw the torch at her which confused her but I think she just got a whole lot angrier. So at that point I sprinted as fast as I can and I wasn’t the fastest of the bunch but I needed to go to the plane because there would be some sort of weapons as I arrive I can’t find the puma anywhere but I check out the plane and I found a pistol, flare gun, Water, And food.

So I gather it all to my house and lay it all down. Then I organize all my things and get a good night sleep. Crackle crack whose there but it was just a little chipmunk and squirrel fighting over a nut. But I can’t let that bother me so I noticed if I want to get out of here I need to build a raft so I gather supplies from the plane and Island. And build me a sweat raft then I put all my supplies on the raft and shove it in the water. Then I see that the storm is not done with us it’s just getting started.

There are some serious waves and rain but my raft is holding up good for now. And Now the sharks are surrounding me and their ramming the raft with their heads so I grab my pistol and load it and I started shooting them and I’m pretty sure it work but the storm is hurting bad so I take a nap. After a little while I wake up to a nice foggy morning with little rain drops but I was soaked and not feeling the best.

After a little while of drying off I grab some food and water and have a nice breakfast. But then I hear a big horn from a boat so I start yelling and screaming but I noticed I had a flare gun so I load them and start shooting and I’m guessing they saw it because they started heading my way and that point I knew I was safe.

Kids should be able to listen to music in class while test and work. My first reason is that it helps you concentrate and focus on your work. It is good for studying or working on a big test or school in class. This could also help you relive stress during class and teach you knew rhymes and words that you haven’t herd off.

This could help them concentrate and focus on school work. Says should students be able to listen to music during school (Article). They say Music has been shown to help kids with ADD/ADHD to concentrate better on the work that is in front of them and keeping their minds off distractions. “Says music is key to learning his could prevent students from noticing every other little noise that usually distracts them”.

It could help you study or help you on school work. For example says should students be able to listen to music during school (Article) “they said 79% of students listen to music while they are doing their job so that they can improve their productivity by keeping them focused on their work”. The same sight says “Their brain takes everything in; consequently, they are often distracted and off task which can drop their test grade by 45%”.

It could also help you with stress reliving and could raise your IQs. Says Wild cat biology a lot of kids are stressed and confused but this could put them in a good mood and really help them calm down. They also said that some schools did test on their students to see if they will stay focused and raise their test grades by 65%. Says study mode more than half of their students increased their grades”.

Well students have rights to listen to music to improve their grades and smarts. And yes I know it’s distracting and if kids go too far it could start drama. But we are trying to improve my and a lot of other students grades so think about we need to improve kids jobs and kids’ lives. [] [] [] []

5-13-14 summary/comments

In the movie // Super Size Me//Morgan Sperlock eats fast food for a whole month. I know its pretty dang crazy he ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On day 4 he gets a super size meal and he starts throwing up all the food that he just ate. I think the next day he starts feeling this weird whoosh feeling in his private in his private parts.

But before all this started he went three doctors to get his body checked out and these people all said that he’s at serious risk for doing this for a whole month. And his first way in he was usually 185 pounds but after a week of fast food he gained 7 pounds. The most memorable part was when he threw up because that told me not to eat alot of junk food.

So after he starts going threw the menu this fast food thing is really starting get serious for Morgan Sperlock Because he’s getting signs of depression and his chest is really hurting him. And of course because no one can go a month without any body problems from it. And yes their is alot of unhealthy food in our city even in our schools.

5-8-14 For short term I want to get my grades up so I can play football for and high school. And I just want to be the person walking around with all as or at least passing grades and I want my parents to say good job on your test or project. I don’t want to work at seven 11 or burger king.

I want to be able to play pro football for at least one team. Or get a really good job when I grow up I want to work at a programmer business or own my own business for construction like my dad because what I learned owning any business is really good money.

As I was cleaning my baby in the corner of my eye I saw some little monkeys hopping around jumping and eating bananas. Oh and I’m a leopard it’s just me and my baby pup. So as I take a stroll I see a nice plump monkey waiting to get eaten so I go prone and start sneaking up on him and as I get close enough I take a big leap and hit I’m in the neck then bit him to give the finishing blow.

As I drag the monkey back home I notice that my baby is waiting starving and in a good year he’s going to be able to hunt and feed her family. So as me and my baby are munching on the fresh meat I hear a loud rawer and I pull my head away from eating the monkey and I see a tiger crawling through the shrubs.

So I grab my baby and I hide her under a log until the tiger goes away but I noticed he’s looking for some fresh meat and that tiger smelt my kid so I stand my ground and walk up to him but he starts growling and I know he’s not going without a fight and neither am I.

But I get a quick thought tigers can’t climb trees there to big so I hurry up and scurry up the tree and the tiger knows he can’t do anything but theirs my baby still down there and she’s crying because she can’t climb but if the tiger hears her she’s dead so my baby tries to climb and she struggles and falls that one the tiger hears but she gives it one last try before the tiger can reach here and she makes it by a little paw.

So as the tiger leaves my baby learned at least something today and we catch a baby monkey well my cub caught it at least and as it starts turning to dusk me and my cub find a nice warm tree to sleep in and we are exhausted as my cub gets rapped up with me we finally shut our eyes and go to sleep and today was a good day cub learned how to climb and we got some good meat.

4-21-14 Pd.7 1,2,3,6 page 133 lit book 1) Well the hardest thing I would think is too be a good man you have to try hard. Probably to just sit down and be lazy and daze off out the window 2) Recall- always be happy when you don’t have something don’t feel down or sad, You just got to think of it as obstacles wipe it off like a fly, don’t let a little insult or push hurt you I had it before, you will get over it. Connect- All of the conditions are what you need to be a man. 3) Recall- treat people like you would like to be treated think about it their doing it because they once got bullied. Assess- Yes because it’s just like everybody else’s life; if you do something bad later on someone will do something bad to you and you will notice it’s not the right thing remember apologies to them 6) Yes, Because no one will want to hang out with you, you also won’t get a good job trust me I’m not someone to take it from but it will make you happy and successful.

1) If I had to choose one speaker to meet I think it would be “nobody” because he/she probably is really nice and just a cool person you can play with and talk too. But I would feel bad too because what if I’m one of his/her only friends. 2) Well in the poem “me” they compare the author to tree and flower so pretty much nature. Trees and flowers are both beautiful and people stop to look at some flowers and trees. They also grow and get stronger. 3) It says she will never change and always keep her personality. Its telling the readers be yourself and like it how you are I like that. c: 4) The author really is confident how her personality is. She really likes how she is and acts. She also says she will never change no matter all the bad things.

4-15-14

1) If I had too chose one of the speakers I would honestly pick “Song of Myself” because they seem like cool people. Their someone you could really talk to and that’s my opinion 2) Well in “Song off Myself” I think the author’s message is trying to tell you if someone is not that cool or funny is too just be nice and laugh along with them. I’m guessing the author was stuck in this life and he doesn’t care who talks smack he will just be his self. 3) I think he wants to tell us readers too just act how you want to be yourself and never change just by one little insult by a little kid. 4) I’m pretty sure that the author is not happy how she looks talk’s acts or dresses so she’s scared to show here real personality in front of people because she doesn’t want to lose any of her friends or get insulated. I’m pretty sure her feelings are sad, depressed, and not loved. The author says it’s hard for business men. And movie stars because they are always doing something. 5) In my point of view I think the author is trying to say that nobody’s are loners, alone, and aren’t social. I’m guessing somebody’s in her point of view are people who do things with friends (social) and don’t sit on the couch. Well this is the between part I think nobody because you study more, do your homework, and you’re not into bad things like drugs. I also think somebody’s because they play sports and get out more if that made sense.

This poem by Robert Frost is about a guy who goes on a ride but theirs two ways and he takes the road that was less traveled then the other. This poem tells me too not follow the popular cool kids to be a leader not a follower. “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. So this tells me if you’re hanging out with the wrong crowd just make a change and don’t do and follow what they do.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is an excellent book. It had amazing details for example the greasers they have greased slicked back hair. The socs are the rich dressed up cool guys of that side of that town. In the outsiders pony boy was the main character this book told me that pony boy always lies to his self because he just can’t handle the truth. Pony boy has really changed.

At first Pony really hasn’t paid much attention to Soda Pop same with Darryl whenever Pony and Darryl get in an argument they don’t even care how Soda feels or they don’t even pay attention to him so Soda has to just leave and take a break. At the end of the chapter Darryl and Pony get in an argument and Soda runs but pony catches him and asks why are you running and Soda says I don’t like it when you two fight.

2-27-14 period 7 Gabriel Battaglia

How I think the book //The Outsiders// is going to end is Soda Pop and Pony Boy are so sad and mad I think they can’t handle it anymore so they just leave the greasers and start staying inside because their just so upset what happened to Johnny. I think Pony Boy and Soda pop going to leave their town and travel to redeem their sadness and possibly meat back up with their mom.

Happy Dog

My poem is __happy dog__ it is about a very happy dog on the beach and what he does at the beach. For example “I’m a happy dog at the beach my joy is always in reach Whatever the talk It’s the best place to walk I’m a happy dog at the beach” it shows that he is always joy full when he goes to the beach. Here’s another example “I’m a happy dog at the beach And I don’t want to start to preach but if you ask me the best thing to see is a happy dog at the beach”. This is the ending of the poem Happy bird on the beach.

The scapular is a symbol of religion and it says if your scapular is blessed by a priest and you have it on when you die you go to heaven. And what makes this neat is that it is supposed to represent god and Mary. This necklace lets people know that you believe in god and Mary or that’s your religion. It also says that your holy.

20 years from now I hope to play in the NFL or at least have a top end job. I’m going to have a very nice and beautiful wife. I’m probably going to move into LA or Denver Because I feel like that’s where the best weather is in well that’s what I think at least. But every Year I’ll probably swoop down San Diego and visit my family just to say hi and say hi to all my old friends and check the weather

Then I would probably send at least 300 dollars for them every month just to send out a thank you for all they have done for me so this will be a thanks from me. Then I’ll probably put my kids in very safe school so he does better than me in school because I’m not the smartest and I was never the best choice picker so I don’t want them to turn out like me. And I’m going to have a very nice house for my family.

My goals for this new semester is to not really talk too much too my friends because last semester I was a little too talkative which made me have a 62% but I ended up getting a 75%, But my goal is to get at least an A or B. But I haven’t really been paying attention and I can tell that it has affected me. But I can see a change in my work. But this semester I’m going to stop hanging with the wrong crowd because I think they’re the one off the reasons I haven’t been getting my work done.

I think this year I’m going to start raising my hand more and volunteer and give the answers to the teacher when I am asked for them. When I go to tutoring I’m going to finish my work and ask for help from the teachers if I don’t get what I am supposed to do. Or even get a my parents to help me with my school work because that’s what I really need it in.

1. The rudest and meanest thing I think Mr. Scrooge did was when he yelled about the “rather see myself dead than see myself with your family” like come on that’s your own blood and family member don’t say that. 2. A) Jacob Marley was Mr. Scrooge’s work partner and he was a mean person just like Mr. Scrooge but Jacob Marley died and Mr. Scrooge was like of my gosh he was just so shocked. b) The clues for his personality for Mr. Scrooge are that he was a grumpy and rude to all these people he also hated Christmas with all his heart. c) This is why I think Mr. Scrooge and Jacob Marley are alike because their grumpy and rude to everybody including their family and the poor. They both can also care less about Christmas. They on the other hand they both don’t give for the poor our charity that needs it. 6. A) some clues and hints that Mr. Scrooge may or not change for everybody in that city. The man Jacob Marley was being held back by the chains and telling Mr. Scrooge that there are going to be 3 ghosts to show the past, present, and future. B)I honestly think anybody’s personalities can change but that depends how they want to act and the people around the person and you also need to give to everybody like the poor, children, and just everybody.

I’m going to be comparing the Christmas carol and the Grinch and the reasons why I would pick this is because Mr. Grinch was very rude and a mean person at first because Mr. Nobody really liked Mr. Grinch so which caused him to be mean same with Christmas carol no buddy liked Mr. Scrooge when he was a little kid so I feel like Mr. Scrooge and Mr. Grinch grew up with no one liking them which caused them to be like that.

But those two were very mean and grumpy well till Mr. Scrooge met the ghost he started to change a lot because he showed him how to act. And for Mr. Scrooge the little girl that lived in the town tolled Mr. Grinch not to be mean sense its Christmas and showed the Grinch how to be nice so they both were mean at first then they ended in being nice and generous.

Gabriel Battaglia 12-9-13 Period 7

The pearl and Christmas carol are similar in many different ways for example both of the main characters have their dislikes for the pearl he was really nice and generous in the beginning of the chapter but he started to change as he got closer to the pearl the he found. But for the Christmas carol Mr. Scrooge he was very mean and up tight until the ghost approached him he started to change and be more kind and generous. They both are very judge mental in both movies and book towards the poor and rich.

Both off their problems have to deal with the poor and children. The pearls setting is on a beach but the Christmas carols setting would be in a snowy town around Christmas Eve. Their themes are surprisingly the same it is money can’t buy happiness I think this true because in the pearl when Kino finds the pearl a lot of craziness and fighting goes around the family and in the Christmas carol Mr. Scrooge was all about money and he didn’t care about the poor or the homeless shelters.

==== Mr. Scrooge can be a kind person but also a very rude and a down person. In this quotes it says “But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,' faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself as he said to the ghost. Mr. Scrooge is also a very ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍untrusting‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ and paranoid. I know this because Mr. Scrooge had like about 5 locks on his door. Right here Scrooge says that if the poor don’t want to go to the shelter then they should do as they say and die and we will decrease the surplus population. ====

==== ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Mr. Scrooge absolutely hates Christmas because his dad wasn’t really around scrooge and was always mad at him because he thought he was the ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍won‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ he killed scrooges mom. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍But‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ it says right here. Christmas is a poor excuse every 25th of December to pick a man's pockets.” After the ghost that came through Scrooges door he started to change and be more generous.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ====

===Some similarities and differences between football and soccer. First of all football you don’t kick in to a square net. However in football you kick a field goal, kick the ball off, and punt the ball. In all these you have to kick the ball like soccer. 0n the other hand in football you use a helmet, shoulder pads, and your girdle which holds knee pads, thigh pads, butt pad, and hip pads. Likewise soccer uses shin pads, and probably other pads. As you can see both are different and similar in their different ways. For example they both have something to do with sport balls.===

===But like I said both are different and similar in different ways there are too many that I can say but I still have more. And for the professional soccer league they play other regions of the countries like Mexico, Brazil, USA, Italy, Spain, on the other hand theirs football they play states city’s like like Denver, Baltimore, Detroit, and Seattle. More people get hurt in football than soccer but their still similar beacause every sport is dangerous.===

Gabriel Battaglia Period 7 11-20-13 Goonies

Theme - One of the themes in the goonies is if you’re going to do it do it bit by bit. An example is that when they were looking through the sacred cave they took baby steps looking for bobbie raps or and buried treasure.

In the goonies the kids meet up find a map. And go to that location witch is a secret cave and find the pirates treasure. My theme is if you’re going to do it do it bit by bit. But in one of the parts of the movie they don’t do that and one of the kids hits a sour pipe witch caused all the others to start squirting the water and I think they learned from that mistake. That’s also another theme you learn from your mistakes. And they learn from a lot of their mistakes like when they are at their house one of the kids made a zip line to the screen door and when he was riding down on it he broke through the screen door what caused to hit another kid what caused to hit their most valuable vase.

final scary story

one dark scary night it was windy and cold fog started to roll in it was a full moon. Wolves were screaming and yelling to the other wolves. and me well I’m l just with my friends getting ready for Halloween so as were putting on are costumes. Then we heard a bang and a load screech so we just kept on doing what we were doing but again we heard it again but it sounded louder like nonstop but finally it stop so we stop what we were doing and should be. ‍ Hold up sorry guys my name is Gabriel I’m small and have brown hair and my friends. Ricky is tall has dirty blond hair and has blue eyes. Then Dylan is small has brown hair with brown eyes. Then there’s the funny one Jordan he has dark black hair with hazel eyes. So we all grab some sort of weapon to fight this monster who is trying to kill us. So I grab a nailed baseball bat, Dylan grabs a table leg, Dylan got my nun -chucks, and Jordan got a long poker stick.

‍so me and my friends rush out of Ricky's house with the entire gear heading down to the canyon because that’s were I would hide if I was a monster. It started to get colder and windier ,But finally we reach the canyon and we headed down a little trail but Dylan found a trail of big big foot prints.

‍So we start to follow the trail of the big footprints until we heard some loud noises in the bushes like screams and like someone was getting attack by the monster so we all got are weapons drawn and ready to finally kill this monster. Then we saw a big red tail and a big sword, but when it came out it was just a kid trick or treating. Then we heard another loud crash and rumbling then I hear Dylan say “not again”. ‍, But this time I actually think that this is the monster we have been looking for so we just charge with are weapons and we do find the monster but he’s not going down easy so we use a technique of just hitting him in the legs over and over again. He takes one good swipe at Ricky’s head and just goes flying with his brain every were on the trees around us. ‍ At that time we just gave up in so much of shock we didn’t know what to do right then a there. But I think the monster had enough of us and scattered off he was very bloody had red eyes tall and strong, But when he ran off we really didn’t know what to do except to blame are selves. But we made a good suggestion just to carry on and kill this beast that’s what Ricky would want us to do. Again we start to follow the foot prints that he led out to. ‍ Then we found a abandon shed we were pretty scared to go in it but we had to do it so I grab my nailed baseball bat and broke the lock and we all busted in. no and in their was Ricky’s body and all of his body parts getting eaten by the monsters friends. When they saw us we knew it was the end of us so we just all hit the legs of the shed off so it would collapse on the monster. ‍ So we just started dipping out of there and I heard leaves cracking and load screaming behind me but that wasn’t stopping me finally we got rid of them but a few minutes after we started to walk but I didn’t hear Jordan or Dylan talking behind me and they always talk but I heard footsteps so I thought of they are out of breath. But after a little it got fishy so I looked and they were both skipping holding hands with no eyes and they were both very bloody and in the corner of my eye I saw the monster sprinting and at that point I was like why did I do this until I saw?
