So, she will do anything to get him back! Also, when the get there everything is going pretty well but, when the principal comes to talk to the girls he tells them some scary new!He tells them that they have to pick only a certain amount of cloths and put the rest of them on the bus and he is going to lock the buses until when they leave.

Sunday Blog Post #10

For my next blog i watched called When A Stranger Calls. It was about a teenage girl getting grounded for talking on the phone too much. Which means she can't go to her High School bond fire with her friend instead she is stuck babysitting for two rich kids. Pretty normal right? Well when she gets there everything is fine the kids are asleep for the whole time because they are sick, which is pretty easy. Later, she starts getting calls from a random person and she starts to worry. Then it becomes darker and the house becomes scarier and she starts to hear noises. Later she gets another call from the stranger asking if 'she has checked the children."Then she goes up to there room to check on them and shes that there are fine then she goes back down stairs and gets another call and he tells her "how were they." So she totally goes bananas and calls the police and they tell her to talk to him over a minuet and they can find where he is. So she does and they call back later and tell her that he is in the house and through the night she tries to protect the kids and herself from the killer.

Wednesday Outside Reading Blog #9

I read this article in a magazine called Living With Leprosy by Alex Tresniowski. Wendy Grossman. Which I found in People Magazine that really caught my attention so i decided to read it and it was really interesting. Well first of all it was obviously about a girl living with the rare disease, Leprosy. Her name is BB Blanchard who is a High School sophomore that battled the ancient yet rare disease and its stigma. At first she just though it was a catapillar bite but then it turned into a rash that spread all over her foot. So her mom later told her that she might have leprosy and when she found out it was true she started to cry. Alot of people were astonished to know that the disease is still alive.In Fact it is not what people used to think like its not contagious and it does not lead to the loss of fingers and limbs. It's hust a skin infection with a terrifying name. So, the High School teen tries to deal with it and live a regular life.

Odyssey National Hero of the Year

Odysseus Hero of the Year

In many different books there are hero's and heroines and for this assignment i had to choose a character from the Odyssey to endorse as a hero of the year. I endorse Odysseus because he is strong, smart, and thoughtful. In the book, Odysseus shows us that he is very strong and powerful. I think those are wonderful qualities to have if you want to be awarded a hero. Well first of all i feel that Odysseus is a very strong and powerful hero but also very kind. In the book it shows many quotes that prove he was strong and powerful. Like for example when Odysseus shoots the bow through the 12 axe heads, "Setting shafton the handgrip, drawing the notch and bowstring back, back... right from his stool, just as he sat but aimingstraight and true, he let fly- and never missing an axe from the first ax- handle clean through to the last and out the shaft with its weightened brazen head shot free!" So that proves that Odysseus was the strongest out of all the men. So I strongly think that out of all the characters from the Odyssey I feel that Odysseus is the one to get the hero of the year award and you should too!
