Water Issues
I like.I wish.I wonder. I like that we learn how we can make a difference and save the water because if we don't we will lose a lot of our fish. For example if we don't put fences around the clay it will sink to the bottom of the lake or river and make it get hot quicker which will kill the fish.I also like how we get our water from a lake and purify it instead of underground water. I wish that our country would care more about water than money because if fish die we will lose lots of food killing us to. I wonder if the country will ever care that we are destroying the environment

Long Walk to Water
If the government decided that we should only have one religion Many people would leave the United States and try to find a new home. that doesn't force everyone to have the same religion. If everyone left the United States the country would just become land and a new country would take over.

A Long Walk To Water Questions There are 11,500 refugees in Syria .How many around the world? The refugees can be saved by countries and they can also leave Syria and go to a different country. Yes, I think the U.S.A. should get involved because no one else has tried to help. We need to help because there are a lot of innocent people there dying including kids and babies who don't deserve to die.We can save them by sending soldiers to capture the leader of the Syrian rebels and save all of the innocent people in Syria.

Book Summary- The Bad Beginning By: Lemony Snicket

This all started one day when Violet a 14 year old girl, Klaus her brother, and Sunny were at Mr.Poe's house and Mr.Poe had just gotten the horrible news that the Baudelaire's parents had perished and there house had burned. Therefore Mr.Poe and Mrs. Poe let them stay over. The next night he would take them to their cousin who was now there legal guardian Count Olaf. They had finally got there and they saw a very tall man who was thin with a unibrow and was in his middle 30's. Count Olaf welcomed them to his home and showed them there room which included one bed a cardboard box and a pile of rocks. Each night klaus and Violet would switch to see who had the bed the other person would sleep on the floor. While Sunny slept in a rolled up curtain. The next day the Baudelaire's would find a list of chores this said make dinner for him and 9 others and there was a little money left there. None of them knew how to cook so they used a cookbook to make Puttnesca sauce. They also made pudding. When Count Olaf finally got home he screamed where is the roast beef and the children said we didn't know you wanted roast beef. Count Olaf went back into the kitchen were his guests were and said 'lets enjoy some wine and hope we'll be so drunk we won't care if it's roast beef or not" The next day Count Olaf apologized for what he did the other day by adding raspberries to there breakfast of oatmeal. He then asked them to be a part of his play. Klaus asked his neighbor to borrow books she said yes Klaus then found out Count Olaf's plan to get there parents fortune. Count Olaf was going to marry Violet legally because if the person being married is under 18 there legal guardian must agree and once they were married the husband owned any fortune of the wife. Klaus confronted Count Olaf but he stole Sunny and hung her in a cage in his tower and said if violet doesn't marry me i will drop sunny of this tower and kill her. It became the day of the play and time for violet to be married The justice said to violet do take this man to be your husband she sai I do and signed the document with here left hand and Count Olaf told his guards to bring sunny down and bring her to the wedding. Then Violet explained she signed it with her left hand not her right meaning the marriage was yet legal. That was the moment when Count Olaf's guards brought sunny in the theatre. Suddenly the lights turned of and Violet heard a shallow voice say "i will get you fortune if it the last thing i do and when i do i will kill you." The lights then turned on but no one was near Violet. later Mr.Poe adopted the children and they lived happily ever after.

Wonder
1/21/14- In 6th grade near the end of the 2nd quarter I went to a baseball camp for 3 hours. It seemed like everyone was friends with everyone except me. I didn't know anyone and it felt like everyone was staring at me every move I made. I felt different because everyone would stare at me like i did something wrong.

Ordinary
Chapter 1 1/21/14- August feels that he is ordinary he does the everything a normal 10 year old would do he eats ice cream, plays Xbox, and rides his bike. Yet August doesn't look like every other 10 year old people stare at him and laugh they turn their back in disgust and laugh with their friends. This makes August feel different even though he is a regular, ordinary 10 year old who plays Xbox, eats Ice Cream, and rides his bike. August also feels not ordinary because his sister overprotects him and yells at kids who laugh and make fun of him. Via says she thinks he's ordinary but August knows she's lying. All of these actions make August feel different, and unordinary.

Disabilities
Chapter 10 1/23/14- August says he wants to take the Science elective and Julian tells him that Science elective is the hardest and what makes him think he can do it. I believe a lot of people see someone with a physical disability and automatically assume he isn't smart. For all they know, he or she could be smarter than the person saying it. A physical disability may mean the person have to work harder to do things like get themselves dressed or walk. But they could still learn by reading and studying and thinking about things to make their mind strong. I believe their mind is stronger than some people without physical disabilities. You shouldn't automatically think they also have a mental disability. It's another form of bullying and can really hurt someone's feelings

First Day
Chapter 16 and 17 1/27/14- I don't think Ms. Petosa knew that Julian was being mean to August when Julian said how come August's favorite character wasn't Darth Sidious. Ms. Petosa seemed as if she didn't know Darth Sidious was severely burned in Star Wars. If she knew what Julian meant she would have intervened and stopped the bullying. Mr. Browne Writes on the board P-R-E-C-E-P-T and ask August's class what precepts meant. He then asks for examples of different kinds of precepts and why they are important. The class said Rules School Homework, Family Parents Pets, The Environment, Sharks, and Who we are. Mr. Browne then wrote down the September Precept. Being in Mr. Browne's class would be fun because he seams energetic, fun, happy, and playful.

Traitor
Chapter 30 1/29/14- I feel Jack Will is now a traitor to August. August thought Jack Will was a very nice person since he was helping him get through school. Now, August knows Jack Will was only being very nice because Mr.Tushman told him to be nice. I am very fortunate that this has never happened to me. I would definitely be hurt and devastated if a person who I thought was great friend was actually pretending to like me. I would be difficult to trust people you believe are your friends. August will probably never feel the same around Jack and will stay away from him or believe anything he says.

Galaxy
2/3/14- Via think that august is the sun her parents are planets and her family are asteroids. Via means everyone revolves on August, they do what he says they change plans all to suit August. Via's seemed jealous when she was young, but gotten over it because she realizes what August has gone through. When Via's says the galaxy is changing she means August is losing all of his attention and it is shrinking drastically.If I was August I would be scared because now my parents wouldn't just do whatever I wanted when I wanted

Summer
2/3/14- Summer at first feels bad for August but soon starts to think of him as a normal kid. Summer defended her friendship with August and is so far a very nice, caring, sympathetic person. People say Summer is a saint and ask if Mr. Tushman forced her to. I think If I was in Summer's shoes it would take time for me to get used to August but I think i would eventually accept him and treat him as a "ordinary" 5th grader

Hypocrite
2/4/14 Jack calls himself a hypocrite sometimes because Jack acts nice to August but behind his back he slipped under peer pressure I expect to learn from Justin's part what he does to August and how he treats him. Justin so far seems nice and caring but you never know. I have met plenty of people like this. I think that having a part for Justin is good so we know what he's thinking talking to August and Via

Lower Case Letters
2/5/14- I think Justin has lower case letters because he is a confusing person and also maybe he isn't so smart. Also maybe justin types in lowercase letters because he is really quiet and nervous especially with his ticks. Justin seems very nice by standing up for Jack even though he just meet him and also comforting Olivia ( Via) when she said she was a awful person. I wish i had friends like that who would comfort you when your down and pick them up.

New Look
I feel Miranda is a very important role in Wonder because she has been there with August for most of the way. Miranda always tries to include Auggie in her conversations. She also gave Auggie the space helmet he wore for years and now Miranda and August are close friends. Miranda feels safer at Auggie's home because they are so welcoming and a happy family while Miranda's parents are divorced and don't pay attention to her. Miranda feels August has the best parents in the world. I think Miranda and Via will soon become close friends again. Miranda probably wanted to experience with the "popular" kids. Yet, I feel Miranda will definitely become friends with Via especially since Miranda gave up her part so that Via could shine in front of her family.
