I think family is people that are really close to each other and that love each other too. Who I consider to be my family is my real family. My  best friend Katrina me and her grew up together. Also we trust each other with everything and also our families are close too.

The perfect day for me would me going to the beach with my family and boyfriend.  It would be perfect because I would be able to see all my brothers and sisters and have both of my parents there with me. I would like it at the beach if my family and I had a picnic there also. We could play volleyball and just do a little bit of swimming. That would be a perfect day for me.

My goal right now is to get my GED and go to college. I want to go to collage to either be a medical examiner or a medical assistant. When I am done with collage and get my job, I want to buy a big house for my family so they can live a good life.

I think there is a big difference in mine and my parents generation. The only way I think it would cause problems is, by my grandparents from now and back then because, my grandparents made my mom work at thirteen and my mom didn't do that to us and my grandparents are upset about that. Now my mom is happy she has stuff of her own and she can take care of us and herself.

No I do not think advertising has an affect on me at all. The reason I think it does not have an affect on me  is because, they try and rip you off sometimes. Or  the product that they are trying to sell you usually end up not working for that long. So that is why I don't want to buy anything.

I spend about most of my time watching TV. My favorite movies to watch on TV is No One Would Tell, and the new Nightmare On Elm Street, and Boyz In The Hood. My favorite tv shows are 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, Rosanne. The shows I dont really like are Silent Library because, they do alot of gross things that I think they shouldn't be putting on TV.

The reason I choosed these points for my timeline is because, it gets me to remember parts of the boook so i can remember what happend. Also I would want this for someone else to read it and give them a reason to read the book with these few pieces about it.

On Thursday and Friday I didn't really pay attention at school. The reason is i have been really sick, and when I am sick i can't focus. What I remember is that we did groups, and then we read a story and did a worksheet about it on friday.

My favorite book that I would recommend is A Child Called It. There is two more books after this one to get to know the childs life. The reason I liked it because, you see how much someone suffers and then there is somone that really cares, and helps you out. Especially because the child always had hope that thats whaty people need to understand.

Usually I do not keep up with current events. The reason I don't keep up with it because, I am usually busy doing other things around my house. Also there is alot of sad stories that make me depressed. Yes  I have heard about osama bin Landes death. How I heard it was thru my family and I watched the news to check if it was really true.

marias blog 5/2/2011

In this book the main point is morals and treating others with respect. One thing the author is trying to show us is not to judge people by religion or how they live. In today's world people need to learn that they need to help other people out and the story shows us that by seeing how they treat Hannah. If there is one lesson I would learn from this story is that to treat people with respect if they do the same.

marias blog 4/28/2011

My thoughts on the book so far that it is interesting. Especially when I thought that Mercy was going to die when she had gotten really sick.  Also when Kit is going to jail for because other people think that she is doing witchcraft.

After Kit helps Hannah to get out of the house the mob burns her house down. So they were hiding in the bushes untill they think it was clear. Also when Kit was looking around she had saw the Dolphin. After she saw the Dolpin she  was waving it down. Kit had asked Nat if Hannah can go on to the boat, because the mob was after Hanna and Kit was trying to keep her safe.

The two activity's I might do are a time line, or back of the book. I have a really hard time deciding which one I want to do. I wanna to do a timeline because, its easy and you can just have the basic main ideas about the book. Then I wanna do a back of the book because, it can tell you what kind of book it is and leave you with a mystery.

 What I have seen on the news is about a teenage girl killed by her boyfriend. Also they haven't found her body yet. From what I heard she had went missing and no one had seen her the night before. The girl's boyfriend said he had never seen her or heard from her. My opinion on this story is that I want justice for the girl. Also, for her boyfriend to give up where she is at, so her family can have some justice and know what happened.

          My favorite movie is Selena. She is a Tejano music star and she made it to the top charts, and they called her the queen. Selena also had a fashion store and a hair salon. She is my favorite because she inspires me if you wanna do something put your mind in to it.

 If my friend was in danger I would help them because we would have each others back no matter wjat happens. I wouldn't care if my life was in danger because I know they would do the same thing for me. The reason I would help my friend because they are always there for me when I need the help on something. I would not help out a stranger because I don't know what the person did to the other. I wouldn't know if I would ever see them again.

I think people in our community get treated fairly sometimes. From what I seen on some occasions some people get treated different because of their race or how they look or because they have disabilities. For some reason they have a disability they should be treated as everyone else. I have seen alot of people make fun of disabled people because how they look or make fun of them. And I think that is wrong cause they cant stand up for them selves.

   John and William are kind of the same but they are really different too. John is studying medicine and religion. He likes Mercy but is courting her sister Judith. He doesn't  have the guts to say that he wants to be with Mercy. John is very smart, shy and caring but he does not really know how to explain how he feels. William likes Kit and he is building a house for them when they get married. He is just waiting for her answer. Also he thinks he knows what happens to the charter. William is a wealthy nice, prepared, and patient. William and John are the same because they are both in love with two sisters.  They are both sweet. Also they hang out with Judith and Mercy's family a lot. And their family likes William and John.

I am doing okay. Also I am really tired. My weekend was fun. I was with my family last night. Mostly I was hanging out with my best friends. We hung out at their house and just listned to music. Also just sat around and talked. My mood over all is happy but very tired.

Mercy is disabled because her leg is paralyzed. She really can't move right. She likes John but so does her sister Judith and she really don't want to argue with her sister about a guy. Mercy has been that way since they were little. She is really nice she wants to marry John but Judith wants him more. The reason is because Judith was telling someone that she wanted to marry John and she will make sure it happends. Also John had told Judith when they were walking back saying he wanted to talk to Mercy alone instead of going to the husking bee.

marias blog 4/13/2011

Judith is a good person, but she is stuck on marrying John who wants to marry her sister Mercy.  John doesn't know is that Judith wants to marry him. She plans to do it anyway. She loves to go to the husking bee. Judith wanted John to go, but he plans on seeing her sister Mercy. The reason that she is social is because she likes going to the husking bee to talk to people.
