Lap 8

One skill on this paper that i have is the ability to work well in teams, especially with people different from myself. An example that shows I have this quality is I always work well when I am put in a group at school, I get along with people and I can do work. I also try to compromise with everyone in the group so every one’s happy and there’s no arguments. That helps make some things easier. The less arguing there is the more is getting done. That is one skill I have on this paper.

Another skill I have on this paper is the ability to analyze a problem to develop a workable solution. It might not be the best solution or the right one. But it’ll work and fix the problem and find a solution. Its not a bad thing to be able to do/ an ability to have because it could help you in a certain situations. Also good to use the ability in school, it can help in almost every subject if not them all. That is another ability I have on the paper.

Also I have the ability to understand  numbers and statistic’s. An example is I take algebra 1. So I’ve been using different methods all year that involves a bunch of things with numbers. For example adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, and word problems including all those things and use more to help figure out the answer using numbers. Also doing some word problems in math help you find statistic’s to things. That is another ability i have.

One ability on the paper I don’t have but I wish I did is the ability to think clearly about complex problems. Why I would want to have this ability is its one I don’t have and I could use it. Why I could use it is if a problem gets to complex-ed or hard and I don’t think there’s anyway to solve it I’ll forget about it and give up until the problems solved for me or until someone shows me how to solve it. But if I had this ability I would be able to sit and figure out how to fix the complex problem. And be able to fully think it through. That is one ability I would want off the paper and one I think I should have.

D

Looks like a sideways D.

Half a circle.

A round hill.

An upside down smile.

Basketball boards.

A hand stapler.

The edge of your shoe’s.

Half an orange.

Sunrise.

Sunset.

A bike helmet.

A bridge.

A cushioned chair.

A sign.

Half a Frisbee.

A bed headboard.

A sideways C that got covered.

A mouth with no teeth.

Sideways half moon.

Major Project (The House On Mango Street) (Option 6-Domestic Abuse)

by   Posted on January 30, 2011 in Uncategorized

Domestic Abuse is the abuse of power in a relationship. It can involve physical and mental abuse. In the relationship the abuser missuses his/her power. There are so many different types of domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can occur in any intimate or family relationship. It’s sad when it happens because it is usually overlooked and when someone figures it out or the person says something it could already be to late.

Physical abuse in an intimate relationship is demeaning to the abused. That is how the physical and mental abuse came together. a large percentage of physical abuse between couples involves alcohol, which brings the abuse to a higher level. Without the proper help a lot of harm can be done to someone. Anyone should go and get help right away if they see any signs of any kind of domestic abuse so nothing drastic happens.

Now there is also sexual abuse. What sexual abuse is, is when any person is forced in to any unwanted sexual activity. Sexual abuse can happen anywhere,anytime, with almost anyone. Sexual abuse can permanently ruin someone in so many ways. It can sometimes take years for someone to recover from it.

Unfortunately domestic abuse is usually not detected early. The abuser usually has the abused so scared that they don’t go and tell anyone. They will even cover for their abuser. The abused will also feel like they are just not worth anything anymore. That is what the abuser wants is for the one their abusing to feel like they deserve what they are getting. So they often don’t go and get the help that they need.

Domestic abuse does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone. All relationships, hetrosexual, and same sex partners. Women are not the only target. All intimate relationships are subjected to this abuse.

My Ideal Home

by   Posted on January 29, 2011 in Uncategorized

How I picture my ideal home when I’m older kind of depends on how I’m living at the time. If I’m alone or just have a girlfriend I want to live in an awesome apartment building with a pool or a condo maybe but I definitely want to be in the city. If I have a family I mean its kind of hard to decide whatI want my home to be like. I mean I’m a city person so I want to live in the city but if I have kids that could be a little difficult. I still want a pool, I’ll just need extra rooms and game systems and toys to keep them busy and having a good time. I want a lot space in the house so nobody’s on top of each other ( not literally). I also want a balcony or porch, but not on the first floor that’d be boring. I just want awesome stuff that I can actually pick out like a bigger bed. Even if im alone I still want a bigger bed than a twin. Well that’s how I pretty much want my future home to be. I want it to have a pool, balcony/porch,an awesome HD T.V, and just all this awesome stuff. I could name a lot of stuff I want to have in my ideal future home but it would take way to much time to name everything.

Eleven assignment

by   Posted on January 9, 2011 in Uncategorized

On my first day of school I felt so mature for my five years and that I was finally going to school like an older kid. I got up brushed my teeth,got dressed,and shined my shoes(just kidding). I went down to have a bowl of cereal before my big day. We left the house my family and I. I felt so big and mature walking to the school yard. I was walking ahead because I was so excited to get there.When I finally walked in to the school yard I felt small again. Like when I was 2 or 3. I felt helpless and tiny again. We walked towards my line, I was beside my mom. When I meant  my teacher I felt better and more relaxed. As the day went on I thought I’d be big and older like the other kids in the yard and that they were my age to once. So ot relaxed me and when the day was over I couldn’t wait to go home and tell my mom how my day went.

Lap 4 Assignment (Passages)

by   Posted on January 2, 2011 in Uncategorized

Passage: “How could it be possible for them to burn people,children, and for the world to keep silent?” (p.30)

Reaction: My reaction after reading this passage is just wow. I mean how could the world just let people kill other people for no reason what so ever. I can’t even imagine being a child and going through and seeing all of that. I’m sure they were all scared to death and just wondering why what was happening was happening. This passage stood out to me because I don’t know how they killed children for no reason and adults. But the world stayed quiet about it.

Passage: “I’ve got more faith in Hitler than anyone else. He’s the only one who’s kept his promises,all his promises,to the jewish people.” (p.77)

Reaction: My reaction after reading this passage is I don’t know if I should think the man who said this is an idiot or if he’s right. I mean I don’t know how he could say that about Hitler after all that he had done. But in a way he’s kind of right. I mean I think what Hitler did was awful and terrible but he did do everything he said he was going to do. He was a terrible man don’t get me wrong but what this man said got me to think and he is right in a way.”

Passage: “What are you, my God,”(p.63)

Reaction: What I thought after reading this passage is he’s right. I mean I know thats what they believe in and everything but he’s right, where is the almighty God in time of need? They do all this praying and there living and getting treated terribly. So i mean I don’t really blame him for getting mad and losing faith. At this point I would’ve lost faith too. It doesn’t seem like things would get better at this point in time.

Passage: “You shut your trap, you filthy swine, or I’ll squash you right now!”(p.28)

Resaction: My response is that’s a little harsh to say to someone. I mean what did they do that was so bad to deserve to get called filthy swine? The reason they were dirty is because they lived in terrible dirty places and thats not their faults. So i mean they could’ve at least treated them a little better they still treated them like garbage after what they did to them and made them live through. They were mad for no reason, they were basicly told to hate the jewish people for no reason.

Passage:”There was no floor. A roof and four walls. Our feet sank into mud.” (p.35)

Reaction: My reaction to that is how could they put five to seven people in what it says up there. It had no floor it was just mud so when it rain they said in nasty wet mud. And it basicly sounds like a bigger version of a shed it just has a roof and four walls and nothing in there so they could store things. Instead they let people live in there which is pretty terrible.

Passage: “Not here…..Get up…….A little farther on.” (p.84)

Reaction: My reaction to this was its ashame that he had to say this to his father.Ashame that he had to see his father in this state and basicly giving up. Almost starting to die. I can’t imagine what he went through having to see one of his parents go through that. And he was battling to now save two peoples lifes not just one. His and his father’s now. It’s insane for a kid to have to take that on at that age battling for his life and someone else’s.
