indiffrent
This picture shows how I feel about this class because the moon is indifferent of what we do it keeps doing what it's doing no matter what we do. I didn't care what we did in this class I just kept doing what I was doing and got through the year because I am very indifferent of what goes on around me.
poetry friday rocks
Poetry Friday was one of my favorite things we did this year. I like it because it challenged my creativity. And not only that but we did some pretty cool things with poems like our Speak video and the song we made for Romeo and Juliet. It taught me that poetry isn't as bad as I thought it was and is fun. And that is why I think poetry Friday rocks.
my thought's on english 9 this year.
I have realized from this year that I like poetry and I have started righting it for a hobby. Before this year I use to hate poetry. I have also realized that i don't like blogging to much and will probably stop after this year. So for this year I'm taking away that I like poetry and I think blogging Sucks!!!!!
Need book review.
Need by Carrie Jones.
The plot is that a girl named Zara was sent to Maine after her stepfather has died. She When she gets there she realizes this man is following her. And the longer shes stays hear the more she finds out this is no ordinary town.
The major conflict is she has to fight against her pixie stalker. Which is her father as she finds out later in the book.
I love how it put's pixies and the were clans together. I hate how slow Zara can be.
If you like Twilight or Fallen then you will like this book. It's a 320 page book. And each chapter's title is a phobia name.

romeo and juliet reflection
I chose this picture for Romeo because to me it shows how Romeo and Juliet are divided by there parents. And they could be together if they just go around there parents. All they have to do is act on they heart and they can be together. That is why I chose this one for romeo.
I chose this picture for Juliet because it reminds me how Juliet is trapped.

Torture and Punishment
Torture and punishment during elizabethan times
In elizabethan times torture was a normal everyday thing. Torture has been used for at least 2,000 years. When Queen Elizabeth had the throne torture was used more than in any time in history. Treason was considered the worst crime, lords and high officials were exempt and women almost never got tortured. The Punishments for crimes differ, like for poisoning you got boiled alive. And for adultery women get put in the dunking chair and are repeatedly dunked until dead. And some minor cruelties include the pillory, the stocks, and the ranks.

the graveyard book
The graveyard book by Neil Gaiham. I liked the book. It was unique. I mean there were tons of stuff in it like monsters, ghosts, ghouls, and murders. the story goes there was this family that was murdered except for the baby boy who wonders in a graveyard. the ghost of his parents arrive and the ask the ghosts to care for him and so they do. He grows up in the graveyard and learns the ways of the ghost there, like how to fade and cause fear. He also learns about other creatures like the hounds of god. The book is good if you like ghost and monsters. also the book is 320 pages long.
shiver book review
I extremely liked the book shiver. It was different then other books I have read. Shiver is by Maggie Stiefvater. It is a awesome book about a girl named Grace and a boy named Sam.Grace was attacked by wolves when she was younger but they weren't ordinary wolves. and same stopped the wolves and saved her and he has loved her ever since but all she remembers is the wolf that stopped it. Then when they get older Sam gets shot and changes back to a human. Then they have to find a way for him to stay human or he will be a wolf forever.The book switches back and forth from Sam to Grace. And you get both perspectives. the books about 400 pages goes by quick. If you like twilght you'll love this book.

gay marriage
I think we should talk about gay marriage in class because I have my opinions on it and I would like to hear other people's. I wouldn't try to change theirs but I would defend mine. Also it seems to be a big subject and I think if the country is talking about it so should we. I mean we should know what is going on in the country shouldn't we?
Ann Turner poem
"I am the pig" by Ann Turner
I am the pig
And you are the wolf
waiting at the door
to gobble me up
and chew on my bones,
then spit me out
and nobody is big enough
or fast enough
or sees enough
to keep it from
happening.
This poem relates to the book Speak because in the book Melinda Sordino was raped and nobody knew it happened and now the guy tortures her at school and nobody knows why see is the way she is.
Opion on blogg
My reflection on my blog is that I am indeffernt.To me it makes no difference having one or not. I think it's cool that people all over the world get to read my writing, but honestly I don't know if they are or not. And since i don't get comments I don't know what they think. So I am indiffernt about my blog. A goal I have for my goal next quarter is to get a cluster map. And that is my reflection about my blog.
The Alchemyst review
The Alchemyst
by Micheal Scott
The plot of the book is that Nicholas Flamel is the gaurdian of the Codex. He is trying to keep it out of the hands of the Dark Elders because in the Codex is the secret that can destroy mankind.
The book has been stolen but the most two important pages remain. Now Nicholas must train the twins in magic to save the world.
I love how the characters in the book have there base in history and mythology. It is a 400 page book.
In the book it will go from talking about what is happening from one character to another.

My Opinion: Capital Punishment
My opinion on capital punishment is that it is stupid and barbaric. What exactly does it show? I'm mean if you kill them it doesn't bring the people they killed back to life does it, nor does it make the death any less painful. I for one hate the shedding of human blood. To kill a murder is showing it is alright to kill for revenge in my opinion. Capital punishment has changed a lot over the years. it has been hanging, shooting squad, and lethal injection. It is stupid.

Innocent or Guilty?
I believe that Steve is guilty because in the beginning of the book he was trying to convince himself he was innocent. Why would an innocent person do that? I believe that he didn't mean for Mr. Nesbitt to die but if he didn't give the signal he wouldn't have died. Also if he was innocent why would he be trying to clear his mind? I mean if you're innocent you don't need to convince yourself that you're innocent. To me it's just common sense. That's why I believe that he is guilty.

21 years 3 mos.
If I went to jail for 21 years and 3 months when I get out I would be 36 years and 5 months old if I got out. I probably get killed though but if I did get out I would get a hold of a friend to stay with until I get a place to stay I would probably get a low paying job because I couldn't go to college. I actually would do another crime to go back in because there would be nothing on the outside for me anymore. And that's what would happen if I went to jail for 21 years and 3 months
