Thursday.

In class today we took a class trip to the library!

The new project assigned is a research paper. So we went to the library to located some of our sources. My research topic is on September 11th terrorist attacks. Aside from going to the library we also looked up our sources from the library catalog. It gave us a better idea of what to look for, and helped us find what we needed once we got to the library.

There were aisles, and aisles of books that I needed to ask a Librarian for help.
She was very helpful and helped me find the book I was looking for.

I'd say today was a very productive day!

Just a couple more hours till 4:45! Then I'm finally done for the day, and I can start my weekend!!!

COUNTDOWN:
29 days of school left
82 days till summer
102 days till my birthday
253ish days till move in!

whoopsies

YIKESS! I clearly forgot to post on Tuesday, March 29th.

Anyways!

I have this terrible cold, its been stuck with me for a week now, and I would really like it to leave!

I also ran out of kleenex! bad news bears right there.

Yesterday was a gorgeous day, AND TODAY its all gray. booo.

Last weekend I ushered everyday for the musical rent!

I ushered for a total of 18 hours. IT WAS CRAZY!!

I'm glad its over though!

Now I've got rent songs replaying over and over in my head, but I'm not really complaining because it was a good show. They performed a total of 7 times! They must have been really tired after the last show on Sunday. (I know I would be)

I've just realized that there is only ONE month of school left! Where did this year go? It seriously went by so fast! I remember my friend Sophie telling me that your first year of college will go by super fast, and she was right! Oh well there is next year which will be just as good or even better as this year! :)

9/11

I wake up at 6:50, I don't know why I thought that i needed to get up that early. So I hit snooze. I didn't roll out of bed till 7:10 and that's when I officially started my morning. Walking to class was a beeeeeeep! who knew that it was going to be that cold, and I didn't know that the side walk was going to be covered with ICE! I should have worn ice skates and ice skated to class, but no i walked, and almost ATE it on the side walk multiple times. In other news here is what I did in class today:

 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.

9/11 is a pretty tragic event in our nations history. We chose to write about the 9/11 terrorist attacks because there is a lot of information about the event. Each fact draws in my attention and reading the information still shocks me to this day.

Jane Cook a junior at something high school, is a scholar athlete and has two younger siblings.  Julie, Jane’s younger sister attends something middle school, and their little brother Billy is only 5 months old.  Jane’s parents are happily married and are currently redecorating their home. William Cook works on the 82^nd floor in the south tower as a risk manager.  Their mother, Emma Cook is a stay at home mom, and attends to all of her children’s needs. 

Jane likes to participate in multiple sports, but since there are so many to choose from she only practices in two. She is captain of the swim team, and also practices on the track team.  When she is not at swim practice, or at home helping her mom take care of her siblings, she like to hangout with her best friend Kendra White.  Jane and Kendra have been best friends since the sixth grade.  Kendra was Jane’s first friend when she moved to New York five years ago.  

Facts about 9/11:

-Each tower was 110 stories tall

-North tower collapsed after 102 minutes, and the South tower collapsed after 56 minutes.

-2,749 people died, majority of them males.

Rough Draft

My Interests.

 I'm very passionate about sports. In high school I participated in track for three years and swimming for four. I love playing sports it's one of my favorite things to do. Whether its stepping into a block on the track or on the block for swimming the feeling of excitement is the same.

I decided to choose my sports interest. I'm very passionate about sports so I thought that it would be a good idea to go around and ask a couple of my teammates and see what they have to say about the sport. I loved competing in swimming and track. It was always fun to feel the adrenaline rush of the competition.

I'm going to interview one of my teammates and form it into a newspaper article. I want to see what they think about the sport and how they feel about the competition.

The Blind Side.

The recent film The Blindside directed by John Lee Hancock is one of my all-time favorite movies. I initially thought that this movie was going to be just another football movie, something boring that wouldn’t grab my attention.  As I continued to watch the film I realized that this is completely different. This is about Michael Oher, a homeless teenager being welcomed into the Touhy’s home, and him playing a sport that he knows nothing about, but soon turns out to be very good at it.

               

I would say that this movie has many purposes. One purpose would be to inform the audience. This movie was based on an extraordinary true story therefore they are informing the audience about Michael Oher and some of the event in his life. The film was rated PG-13 so I would say that the audience is directed towards teens through elders to show them not to give up hope. Mike was a homeless teen living on the streets with barely a dream of his own. There were multiple tones throughout the movie but one that really stood out was appreciation. Mike was brought into the Touhy’s home as a stranger, never argued with them, and was thankful that someone had just given him a home. 

Questions:

1.      

             1.How does this movie differ from the other football movies?

2.       2.How does the tone change from the beginning of the movie to the end?

3.       3.Why is the movie called The Blind Side?

How has the tone changed from the beginning of the movie to the end?

In the beginning of the movie the tone seemed sad, no one really had any faith in Mike, and he was just a bum living on various peoples couches. The school also didn't have much faith in Mike, they took one look at his transcripts and already gave him a label. Throughout the movie we see the tone slowly beginning to change all because he was welcomed into the Tuohy's home. The tone in the movie changes from sad to happy when Michael Oher is welcomed into the Tuohy's family.

I.  Michael Oher

III. Relationship with MJ
