1)The book called the "The Wave" is placed in a school named Gorden High School in 1969. Back then they used typewriter, old film progetors were you had to whind up the film, and say that WWII wasn't to long ago. It different from our school because they have detention, some of the kids smoke, and they have tackle football instead of flag football.

2) I think the most interesting sentence is when they were learning about WWII. In the book it said " Their remains were disposed in ovens" The dead bodies would be burned in ovens to keep the disease down. It really struck me because I never knew that fact also I didn't know that the Nazis could be that cruel.

3) Here is my question: Why do you think Laurie was so shocked by the film? Would you be shocked too?

1) I felt really sorry for Betty Ann. She was a complete outcast when she took a step into that school. The one that struck me the hardest was when they made fun of her stories and I love to create stories. Just because she found something interesting doesn't mean you have to hate it because it's not what your used to. They all thought she was from another planet.

2) I would have stood up for her when they made fun of her stories. Also I've been in her shoes lots of time. I've been called "four eyes, "smart girl," and "chocolate" so many time that ignore it or stare people right in the face and say "You wanna say that again." Also I would have wanted to get to know her and hear her stories.

3) The moral of the story is that when you call people names you'll never know what it will do to them. When you think they're ignoring you they might be tearing up inside. Just because no one stopped and got to know them. Betty Ann was a new kid and they ripped her apart and didn't know what they were doing.

Bonjour!

1) In Humanities class today we read a short story called "Seventh Grade." I really liked it when he was trying to act like he knows french. Like la me vava me con le grandma or Frenchie oh wewe gee ie September.

2) I could really relate to that because you know you've done something stupid, but you try not to show it so you don't suffer the embrassment. Although in the end you end up embrassed anyway. Still you feel like you wish you'd never raised your hand

Hi its moi, (that's french for "me")

1)In my Humanities class we read a short story called Test. It's about a young man named Robert Procotor and he's driving along minding his business when a blue limo crashes in to him. Then he crashes into another car and he sees a young girl sleeping in in the passinger's seat . Anyway, make a long story short he crashes into the car with the sleeping girl. Next he wakes up in a chair in a familiar looking room. Basicly he was in a dreaming the whole time. It was just something the goverment does right before they give the kids they're license. The instructor says "Just leave the money and you'll get your license" So Robert did and just when he's about to walk out the door to men dressed in white grab him and say "Your not well you didn't pass the test" While Robert being pulled away he shouts "I'm still dreaming right? This is still a dream?" And the the to men say " We have on idea kid" That really struck me because were the white dressed me real people or part of the dream if this was really was a dream. It was really confusing. It was if the story would never end!! It still leaves me scrathing my head.

3) I think it was real life because the "test" was he would reject the license because the thought of killing the little girl would be branded in his mind forever. So he would have to live with that burden for the rest of his life. I think he should have should have rejected it. Maybe next time he'll think twice (if there is a next time).

2) I think it was a good idea to make young adults know what's like to be in an accident. I mean I wouldn't send him to the nut house. Still it'll send a message the future drivers everywhere.

Hi welcome to my Blog. Anyway, Tuesday 11, 2007 my class and I watched Plant Earth. I liked it. I learned that snow geese fly in a flock of 2 million!! Also learned that the rain forest supplies 50% of the earth's clouds! Still I think it was interesting. You got to see the earth and its creatures in a whole different light. You feel that you're really there with the lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! I mean you learn so much from that video. Did you know that snails breathes threw its foot. Also that a rain forest gaint must die so the rain forest can thrive. I hope you learned a little something.

The school that I go to has a drama class and we had to write plays. Well, here it is.

End Of Play!

.Here is some of my funny stories that I can come up with in 15 min. So... here it is.

Bad Boys + Bad Fish = Revenge
A young man has been sent to the hospital from being poisoned at Luna Shump's famous Thai restaurant called Chomp Stix. The twenty-six year old owner and chef of Chomp Stix is going to trial next weekend. The most interesting part is she did on purpose. Ms. Shump put raw fish in her most popular dish, Salmon and Noodles. We did an interview to find out why she it and how this will affect her restaurant. We found her in the back of the kitchen filing her nail looking completely calm.
All we got out of her was “He knows what he did” We did a background check on the young man and saw that he was Ms. Shump's boyfriend. “The young man will be fine” said the doctor “But I don't know about the relationship.”

Hi Vivian again, Did I mention that I love to write stories and plays

Maximum Ride
Rating: ***** (out of five)

Imagine if you were kidnapped the moment your were born and you were shipped away to a lab where the sickest "scientists" played with your body and put things that don't belong. Maybe like... WINGS! I hope that's never happened to you, but Max (yes its a girl)(14), Fang(14), Nudge(11), Iggy(13), Gasman(8) (Gazzy for short),and Angel(6). These six kids where sent to a lab called The School. The good news is they just escaped. The bad news is the Erasers are on their tail. Erasers are like werewolves only they can change at will also they look so human that Max and her friends can never tell a harmless human from an Eraser. This is a thrillering, a turn pager, a flashlight and under the blankets kind of book. Trust me on this one. I recomend this book ages 11- 16 because they can relate to this book better. Younger children might find it a little to violent. Still its a wonderful book and you'll be so sad when you're finished (I know I was).

My Book ReviewThe Lion, the Witch, the WardrobeBy C.S. LewisReviewed by Vivian PhillipsRating: (4 out of 5)Four children named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are sent to the house of a family friend to escape World War II. Lucy is homesick and she explores the mansion that they live in. Lucy enters a room with only a wardrobe. Trying to find some “alone time” she enters the wardrobe. When she enters the wardrobe inside she finds a forest, and she meets a fawn named Mr. Tumnus and has tea with him also he saves her life from the White Witch. Lucy thought she had enough adventure for today, so she ran out and told the others. Of course they didn’t believe her (would you?). One day all four of them went inside the wardrobe to escape an angry house maid for interrupting a meeting. They all hopped inside and finds themselves in the same forest that Lucy found herself when she first went inside, but for some reason they can’t get out! Also there is some kind of war going on in the forest. Why? Read and find out.The book is suspenseful, funny, and sad. The book is fantasy, but you relate to the character. Also there is just a touch of magic. Not like Lord of the Rings elves and wizards, but just enough to make it magical. There is a shocking twist and some betrayal too.I recommend this book to 8-11 year olds. I think they can relate to it better. Maybe it is their “style.” Some people think it is an imitation of Lord of the Ring. I disagree; this book has its own unique flavor in many ways. Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down!

Hi, my name is Vivian & this is my blog.
Feel free to look around & read some of book reveiws.
