Family

Family to me is someone who loves and cares about you no matter what happens. I consider my parents, grandparents, brother, and sisters to be family. My god father and god mother is like family even though they are not related to me by blood. I would consider one of my best friends as family because he's known me my whole life and has been there for me when I needed him. There probably is some more people but I just didn't mention that I would consider family.

Joplin

I think this tornado that happened in Joplin is pretty crazy. That tornado in Joplin that recently just happened on Monday May 23rd, 2011 killed at least 116 citizens when it took Joplin Missouri off the map and slammed straight into its hospital. The cars and houses looked like crunched up soda cans. Joplin was the nation's deadliest single tornado in about 60 years and the second major tornado disaster in less than a month. Many citizens had 10 to 17 minutes of warnings.

My Choice

Today is going to be a nice day to go ride my bike. I might go to the bmx track and jump but I hope I don't fall again and break something else. The last time I fell I broke my clavicle and got knocked out for like 5 minutes. I didn't remember what happen which kind of sucked. My grandma came down this week to come visit. We haven't seen her for like 3 weeks or longer. I can't wait tell Tuesday when I go see my PO and she increases my curfew to later than 5 o'clock.

Generation

In my generation my parents are obviously older than me and get to do a lot more stuff because of their ages. I'm pretty sure when my mom was my age she didn't get to do all that much. My grandpa was pretty strict on my mom. My mom tells me I will have a chance to do what I want when I'm 18 which is in a year and 2 1/2 months.

If got that chance to change something in my life it would be to move to Miami Florida because I have been wanting to move there for awhile now. I don't really like Oregon anymore. I lived here for my whole life and its kind of getting lame to me now. I think it would be pretty cool to move to Miami because its nice and hot.

Advertising

I wouldn't say advertising affects me. On commercials the businesses advertise a lot of expensive cool stuff that I want but can't afford.  It just depends when I have the money and if I see something that I like that's not to much I might get it. There is a lot of things in the stores I wanted to get but I didn't because I didn't really need it.

tv shows

I watch TV for like 30 minutes to 3 hours a day just depending on if there is something good on TV that I would want to watch. I like to watch comedy shows because its kind of funny to watch. My favorite shows are George Lopez, Family Guy, Cops, and sports. One show that I really dislike is Hannah Montana because its one of my little sisters favorite show and she watches it like all the time. She doesn't care if its a new one or a old one she has already seen she will still watch it again and again.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a book about a girl named Kit who moves from Barbados to America in 1687.She moved to her aunt Rachels in Wethersfield. 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. Kit is constantly doing thing's that make her look strange to the people in America because her culture in Barbados is so different. She felt like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world. In the meadows she feels completly free without no one treating her with no respect at all.

Main message

In this book, the main point is about this girl named Kit who moves to a new town where people treat her different then where she moved from. In today's world people need to learn to treat people good and not just dislike them because how they look, smell, talk, and dress and this story shows us that by the way they treat Kit when she moves to the new town. If there is one lesson I could learn from this story it would be to treat people the same way I would want to be treated.
