The Outcasts of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts' deaths, who/what would you blame & why?
-Uncle Billy
-citizens of poker flat
-bad luck
-outcasts

I think that the one that you need to blame was uncle billy because if uncle billy hadn't of run off with the horse all of them would of have a chance of living because they wouldn't of got tired and stop walking to stay in that little hut that they stayed in and where some of them died in. I think that uncle billy was selfish because if uncle billy could of woke them up and they wouldn't of got caught in the snow storm that badly. That's why i think who you should blame for all of the things that were happening to them.

the story of an hour

The thing that i learned is that some people don't like the people that are there friends or someone from there family members. The other thing that i learned from the story is that freedom can come from different directions during your life. It can come from the death of your mom or dad. It can also come from your death. My favorite part from this story is when she was walking down the stairs and she saw her husband walk through the door and then she died. Th part that i didn't like was when her husband came back when they said that he died.

The blind man

The thing that i learned from this story was that some people care about you if your famous or rich. The other thing that i learned was that some people are going to treat you differently if you cant see, hear, or talk. My favorite part from this story was when the rich important man got run over by the 2 people that were driving the cars and the old man didn't care because he couldn't see anything that was happening. But i really think that the important person should of got run over because people treat the rich people better than the poor people. The part that i didn't like was when the people that were around him where not helping him to walk him to the other side of the street and when the police didn't help him when the kids were trying to steal his pencils.

Desiree's Baby

In this story i have learned that some people are going to judge on how you look when they think they know where there from and it doesn't matter what color you are but what you think of them and how you feel about them. The part that i liked was when his wife left and then he found the letter from his mom that said that he was black and i think he deserved it for what he did to his black slaves and his wife. The part that i didn't like was when he through his wife out because of what the color was from there baby because of what he though his wife was.

Desiree's baby, the sequel

As he found out that he was black he stayed to think what he had done to his wife's stuff and what he did to his wife. He stayed there and he was thinking of what he had done just siting there thinking for at least about 30 minutes. Then he went to the plantation of cotton that he owned. He looked at the field and the workers. Then he called his wife name out in the field and fell to his knees. Looking at the sun he got up and started to walk tords it. When he got to the end of his cotton field there was a beach to his left and there was a big hill. He walked tords the big hill and he was looking at the beautiful sunset. Just before he could leave e looked down from the hill and he saw sharp pointy pillars that were just at the bottom of the hill. As he looked he saw somebody on one of the sharp pillars

Flowers for Algernon

if you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it, especially if you knew the effects of the surgery would only be temporary? why or why not? use examples from the story.

If I was to have a operation to let me get smarter only for a short time i wouldnt because if is going to be for a short time why should we do it. Then we might know everything and then all of a sudden a few weeks later you will be back to your old self agian were you dont know how to spell correctly. If your getting the surgey and something bad goes wrong and when you wake up and you become dummer for a short time. Then there would be a time if i get the surgery and then you got to people that know a lot abot something like when you go up to a docter that knows everything about surgery or something then Algernon tells him what he should do and what he might know about how the docter is doing it. If he does that the docter gets mad and might kick him out of the surgery room because he got mad at him. This is why i wouldnt get the surgery so i can get smarter for just a short time.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapters 8- the end

In the story i learned that family is really important because when you don't have a mom or dad you cant do anything when you just a little kid. In the story Benjamin was old when he was born and when he needed a place to stay in his dad was there because that what a family does is take care of each other and give them a place to stay in in the story. In the story family really mattered because when he was getting younger and he wanted to go to a school his son put him in there and when he needed a place to stay in his son let him stay in his house with him. In the story if Benjamin didn't have a place to stay in or somebody to support him when he was getting younger or when he wanted to get in a school he couldn't of because his family would of done something to help him.



Then there is age that really mattered in the story. In the story when he was born and then a few days later his father put him in a kindergarten they didn't excepted because he was to old that he always fell asleep in the class so he didn't go to kindergarten. Then when he got just a little bit younger he went to a collage to apply he couldn't because everyone say that he was to old to be in collage so the people that were in that collage chased him out of there. Then there was a time where he went to collage where his son graduated from and he was partying and he joined the football team and he was young and big tall he was scoring touchdowns and everything. Then in a few years he started to get younger witch he couldn't do anything good anymore like he used to and that's why age matters. After that they sent a letter that said for all the people that where in the war to go back there. When he went back there and the Cornell said that he was to young to be a civil war man. That's why i think age means in this story that sometimes your to old for stuff and sometimes your to young for stuff.

I think that beauty in this story is how you look. In the story everyone thought that Benjamin was his fathers grandpa because of the way he looked and this is why he didn't get into school because he looked old. Then there was a time in a story where Benjamin liked a woman where she looked good and everything. Then in a few years he started to lose interest in her because of her looks witch he got younger and handsome and she got old and ugly. This is why i think beauty is in this story.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapters 3-7

After reading chapters 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter and give your solutions for each.

My first problem is that i think that Benjamin is going to not like her at all because she is going to get old and he will he younger and be looking better. My solution is that they would stay married and benjamin would be out a lot because he joined the civil war.

My second problem is that his son will stop obeying him because benjamin will start treating his just like his father did when he was born then they would get close until benjamin sees something that he likes about him when he changes his ways. Like when they would be the same age.

My third problem is that as he gets younger he might go to collage. my solution would be that he'll only go to college to treat the people that chased him out of that collage when he looked older.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 2

Roger is so overly concerned with how benjamin looks and is worried about what people are going to say. What should he do?

I think that he should just tell him that he is my grandpa. Then he should tell then that he is holding his hand because he cant walk that good or he should just buy him a cane so it looks like he is his grandpa and not his son. When he goes in there they wont think that he got a son that is a 70 or 80 year old child or he should just leave him at his house and then come back for him later.

The Curious Case of Benjamin button, chapter 1

What would you have done if you were roger button in chapter 1?

If i was him i would just go to my house and cut his beard off and i would of died his hair brown or black so he wouldnt look like he was that old and i would give him some clothes or buy him some clothes that would fit him. Then i would tell him to act like he was my friend that was staying and not my child but only if we were around other people who knew that he wasnt my child.

cool city

This city is cool, I like the pools
The food is good it tastes good too
When you take a bite it makes your mouth drool
The building are cool they are big and tall
Some are small and ugly some are big and stylish
There are a lot of people in this city
Some live in a good home and others live in the streets or in a bad looking house
I live in a good house in this cool city
In this cool city you can play games
You can go swimming
Even sky diving
Some go skiing
And some go scuba diving
This is why this is a cool city
