Creative Story

There is a loud crash and suddenly I stopped cleaning, and run outside. There is a big accident in front of my house. I hurry and call the police, then I go see if everyone is okay. In one car they are a little hurt, I go to the other car no one was in it. I heard that they ran, so when the police get there they have the ambulance help the people that were in the car. The police go and search for the ones that had ran. So the others get to the hospital and the are fine except one has a broken wrist. The police still didn't find the people that ran, so they check the car, come to find out that the car was stolen so they are going to get in trouble. Later that night the police found the ones that ran, because they got in another crash. So the police take them to jail. The good thing is that it wasn't a bad crash, because the other people in the car didn't get hurt.

Family

I consider family as them always being around and being there for each other, caring about each other. People that I can trust with my secrets and problems. There is a lot if people that are like family to me that I have known for along time that I can trust. They are always there for me when I need them. Like one is my best friend. She is like a sister to me, and I known her since we were babies. She is always there when I need her. She always listens to what I have to say, and I listen to what she has to say and I am always there when she needs me. We tell each other everything.

Four Day Weekend!

My four day weekend is going to be so fun, because I am mostly going to go out and hangout with friends. Well Friday I am going to a old best friends house, and just hangout, watch movies. Friday night my moms friend, is coming with her baby. I also might go to a dance. On Saturday I am going to a BBQ with my sister, then at night me and her are going to babysit while my mom goes out. Sunday I just want to sleep then at night I'm going to a party with my mom. Monday I don't know what I am going to do. I might go to see my moms friend, in the hospital because she just had a baby.

Raising

One thing that my parents did well in raising me was teaching me right from wrong. With my own children I would teach them the same because then when they get older they will know what's good and wrong.

My Weekend

For my weekend I am going to Stayton to visit my grandma on Friday and help her with some stuff. On Saturday I am going to a party in Redmond with my dad and visit that side of the family. I am taking on of my friends with me. I'm really excited because I haven't seen my dad for a long time. Sunday I was hoping to go to get my nails filled but other then that I'm going to stay home and clean.

Life Changing

If I could change one thing in my life, it would be to go to Las Vegas because it is really pretty there and my favorite cousin lives there. I have not been there but my cousin always sends pictures. It makes me really want to go there and at night it looks nice with all the lights. She says it's really fun. That's what I would change is to go there.

I Thought It Was Cool

One thing that I bought were these really cute jeans that had holes in them. I thought they were cute. But when I got home I didn't like them. It made me mad because they were really cute. But then at the end I took them back and got some that were just right.

How Did Thursday And Friday Go?

On Thursday we did our blogs then we read and did our packets. I finished one of my packets then we watched some you tube videos about Tsunamis, and talked about them and wrote prespectives. On Friday I wasn't here.

News

Sometimes I do keep up with the news, because I like to hear and know what's going on in this world. Yes, I did hear about Osama Bin Laden's death. I heard it on the news when I was getting my nails done.

back of the book review

This story is about a girl named Kit who goes from Barbados to Wethersfield to live with her aunt and uncle. When she gets there it's not what she thinks it's like. She had to change her clothes because they were nicer then what the others wore. Then later she meets an old lady named Hannah who everyone thinks she is a witch because she is a Quacker, but she doesn't think she is. Then Kit's uncle forbids her to go to Hannah's house to help with her house, that she can do it herself because she is a witch. Everyone thinks that the Quakers are bad and making them sick. Can Kit escape the mob and get Hannah away? ...And what about love? Judith liked a guy named John, but he liked her sister Mercy. And will Kit ever find her love?

Learned Lesson's

In this book, the main point is you shouldn't judged people on what others say about them or what they look like, because really they are nice and not what you thought they were. So what I learned is that you shouldn't treat others the way that you don't want to be treated.

Final Plot Project

The final plot project I'm thinking about doing is writing a book review and put it on Amazon.com. The second chose I am thinking about doing is, writing a back to book review and telling someone some interesting things about the book.

News

In the news I read about a intoxicated man causing a disturbacne. He had several reports He was identified by police as Ralph W. Irwin. He was yelling a people and going into the women's restroom, in the transit bus station. Then Salem police officer found Irwin being refused from one of the buses, and according to court records Irwin is 48 and has prior convictions of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. Officer Owings hit Irwin with a Taser. Irwin had minor injuries when he fell on the concrete. My opinion on this is that when people drink they shouldn't go out in public, they should stay at home or not drink too much to where they are drunk, and causing trouble.

My Summer Vacation

This summer my family was planning to go on a trip to California and go to Six flags and to take my two little sisters for their first trip. Then go to Mexico to see their grandma and grandpa and some of their family. I really want to go to six flags because I went two years ago with my dad and it was really fun. We went on this ride that was scary but really fun so I hope we do end up going. I also really want to go to Mexico because I never been there and I heard it's pretty were we want to go.

Helping A Friend

If my friend were in danger I would help them because I don't like to see my friends in danger. I am there for them because i know if I were in danger they would be there for me. It might be a danger for me but if it's for a friend and a good reason I would help them. It depends if I would help a stranger because I don't know if they are nice or not.

My Tradition

  My favorite tradition is Christmas because my whole family gets together at my grandparents house. We spend time together, it's nice because most of my family live far away, and I don't get to see them, but only once a year. We have so much fun.
   When we first get there we talk and see what's new with everyone. Then around six o'clock we start serving dinner and eat lots of food. Every time my sister would sneak ham to the dogs. My grandpa would get mad because she would feed him a lot. Then after dinner we eat desert, which would be berry pie or apple pie with ice cream, or brownies and sometimes cookies.
  Then once everyone is done we sit around and wait for the carolers to come. Once they come and leave we all go in to the living room where the presents and big Christmas tree is. We gather around. My uncle always passes out the presents so we wait until he calls our names.
  When were done with presents we talk more, show each other what we got. It's almost time to go and everyone is sleepy already, so people start leaving, me and my mom help my clean. Then we leave and go home.
  It's sad because we say bye until next year.But that is my favorite tradition because we get all the family together and hangout with family.

My Weekend

I'm doing great this morning. My weekend was fun. On Friday I went out to eat lunch with my sister at Honey Baked Ham. It was so good. Later on that day I met up with some friends and we hung out. Then Friday night I went to a dance with my sister, and it was really fun. On Saturday I went to Home Town Buffet with my grandma. On Sunday I didn't do much it was a lazy day for me. The mood I am in right now is that I'm really tired, but other than that I'm good.

Mercy

Mercy is nicer to Kit when they first met, then Judith was. Mercy didn't want as much as Judith wanted. Kit thought that if John hurt Judith, Mercy wouldn't forgive him. Mercy was very caring and loving towards Judith, because she also wants Judith to be happy.

Judith's Character

Judith to me in the beginning was kinda rude to kit when she first got there, because Kit came with her trunks full of nice dresses and slippers and I think Judith was jealous at first.Then Judith said to Kit "I wish you were a boy, we need more men around to help with the hard work". Then Judith was nicer to Kit. They would work together in the fields until sunset side by side. Judith was so excited about the husking bee, and she explained it to Kit as so fun and exciting.

White Lies

I believe that it is sometimes okay to tell white lies and sometimes it is not. Sometimes when someone tells a white lie maybe the other person will think of it in a wrong way, and really believe it. Or maybe if the person knows that the other person is telling a white lie, the next time he will think it is another white lie and not believe what it is true. Sometimes when its a good way to tell a white lie is to be nice telling someone good things.

My Name

My dad chose the name that he wanted my name to be, but my mom and grandma didnt like it. So my mom picked out some names for me that my grandma didn't like. Then my grandma liked the name Erica and my mom liked it and so did my dad. So my grandma is the one who actually chose my name.

Kit

I think it is important to Kit to go back to the meadows, because Kit didn't care what people thought. She didn't believe everybody else. She didn't think that Hannah was a witch. And she knew that Hannah was lonely because knew one wanted to be with her.      

My Favorite Place To Be When I'm Alone

When I want to be alone, my favorite place I like to be is in my room. Because when I want to be alone I like to have it nice and quiet and my room is always quiet. Or sometimes I like to have my radio on, and just lay down or clean.

My Goal's

My goal's for the 10 weeks we have left is to get a higher score and finish out this program. And read more then 3 books before I get out of Read 180. Then when I'm done with this program go into the GED program and do really great and pass all my tests and get a high and try my hard to finish this year.

Fighting For Kit's Job

I think Kit should try and fight to still be teaching because she likes teaching, and she should be able to teach  because she is doing an act out of the bible. I think that it's not right if the kids are having fun. They shouldn't do that.

Imaginary Letter

Dear Friend,
 I just wanted to tell you how my new home is and how people are here. Well the homes here are a lot different then back in Barbados. The people here in America dress weird compared to back home in Bardados. One day I had to change how I dressed because the girl's here dress way different. And the houses in Barbados were nice and better, because the ones in America were run down and it was grey and boring nothing much to do. Barbados is a lot better. You can do so much there, and it's nice and pretty there. Well I hope you are having fun in Barbados.
   Your Friend,
      Kit

Disappointed

I have been disappointed, like when I was going in to 7th grade, I found out that I had to move school's. I thought it was gonna be fun to move schools at first, but when I actually did move I didn't want to anymore. because I thought I wasn't gonna have any friends, and I didn't wanna leave my old friends. I felt kinda sad leaving my old school, but now I sometimes regret moving schools because I wanted to be with my friends all through middle school.

My Spring Break

Over spring break for the first couple of days I was sick, and didn't do anything. But after that Saturday I went to my aunt's house for her baby shower, it was really fun. Then after the baby shower we went to Wonderland. Then on Sunday I went over to my friend's house and we had a BBQ. Then Monday, I didn't do anything, Tuesday I babysat my little cousin, then Thursday I went to Bend and stayed with my dad and then Friday we had a family dinner. It was really fun because I saw my dad's side of the family. Then Saturday I came home and went shopping, and Sunday I just cleaned and got ready for school.

10 mistakes

The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a book about a girl named Kit who moves from Barbados to America in 1687. Her grandfather has died, and she is going to go live with her aunt. The town she moves to is full of Puritans who are much more religious than she is. She is constantly doing things that make herself look strange to the people in America because her culture in Barbados is so different.

My day off I'm going to Portland with my mom and sister's to visit my great grandma. We are gonna stay there until Saturday morning. Then on saturday afternoon we are going to my cousin's birthday, Then on Sunday we are going to church and it's gonna be fun because my aunt and uncle are going that i haven't seen for along time so that's what im doing my weekend.
