Elvis

I love Elvis, and no not the sing, the horse. Elvis is a horse I ride every now and then. He is picky on how he behaves with others. He can be stubborn, persistent with others but with me he does want I tell him to do, most of the time. Not many people like him because of that, but with him being stubborn people learn more. On him I have done two show one  was better tenth other, but that doesn't change my view of him. To me he is one of the sweetest horses at the barn. I love him dearly.

Reading Response

The book Lady Midnight is book written by Cassandra Clare. It is the 11th book she has written about Shadowhunters.  She is such a goo written to be able to write 11 books and have 3 different story lines. One of the series was turned into a TV show. I love her books especially Lady Midnight.

In the book the characters are arguing about how their brother is not the same anymore. They are trying to find out who is killing all of the people. The book is over 600 pages long and it has a lot of detail. Each chapter gives you something new and a new problem.

Possession

March 9, 2012

I remember it like it was yesterday when the darkness came. It was late at night I hear a noise in my house and went see if it was my parents walking around, no one was there, so I went back to reading. Then I hear it again, the lights started to flicker, I get up and see if it was my brother trying to mess with me. I go out into the hall and then everything went dark. 

Next thing I knew was I woke up in a dark room and my hands covered in blood. I around and I see a man in a chair covered in blood. I walk over to him, he is not breathing, I don't know what had happen. 

“Did I do this?, I asked myself

I ran out of there to find help, before I got out I saw there were more people, blood, and symbols of some sort every where. I need answers but how am I going to get them.

Harris Bergeron

Harris Bergeron was a really well written short story. I wanted read more after I finished. The writer could had written a whole series of book about it. I bet a lot of people would had read it, I also wanted more background info. 

The story had a society of people who all wanted to be equal and equal is the same as the dumbest person. The smarter you were the more handicaps you would have. You would get and earpiece and a bag to make you also physically equal. The way the society ran things was not good.

Lady Midnight

I like the book Lady Midnight a lot so far. The author could create a twist that make me hate it. I hate it when you love a book and then all of a sudden bam they turn it all on the character you love. I am like why did you do that.

The book introduced new/old characters, they were in another series that goes with Lady Midnight, the character has changed a lot so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Also they mention other characters from the other series which is cool to hear how characters I loved ended up.

Dear 11 year old,

Dear 11 year old, 

Don't care what others think of you. You are perfect the way you are. I someone tells that you are ugly or weird say thank you, let them know that you don't care what they think of you. You love you and never forget that.

There will be time when it its hard but you can push through them. Just think "I can get through this no matter what." You can get though life and school a lot easier when you push through everything no matter the difficulty. You will make it through school even though it seems so hard.

9/11

9/11 2001 was the most tragic day in New York City’s history, over 3,000 people were killed including 400 police officers and firefighters. That day 2 planes were flown into the World Trade Center, on at day many people lost their lives. The first plan crashed in to the first building at sometime around 9. When it crashed in it kill a lot of people instantly. Immediately people started to evacuate, some couldn’t because they were trapped on the higher levels above where the plane crashed.

 The second plan crashed into the other building a few minutes later. It went into the building and broke through another side. When that building fell it created a huge cloud of dust and rubble.  Later the building the first plane crashed in fell with a cloud of dust. The surrounding building caught of fire killing more. It was the longest day in New York City.

Lady Midnight

In the book Lady Midnight, the author, Cassandra Clare, uses a lot of emotion to show how the characters were affected. Emma’s parents died and she can’t stop looking to find out what happened. Cassandra Clare shows Emma’s emotion through hate and confusion towards the Clave it reacting. She also shows emotion through how Emma relies on others to help her.

Cassandra Clare gets the readers action through introducing a new world to people. She created a word with faeries, vampires, werewolves, demons, and shadowhunters. All of these things together created something people wanted to know about and learn about.

Pit Bulls

Pit Bulls the most misunderstood dog breed. Pit bull stereotype is aggressive, mean, and them bitting people. They are actually very nice and kind. The mean pit bulls that people meet were trained to be that way, they aren’t born that way. When people are a dog parks or there places where you can pet and meet pit bulls, they never attack anyone. They are also very forgiving.

It kills me to hear when some say pit bull and what say is the stereotype. Pit bulls are used for illegal dog fighting and other horrible things. When people adopt or take in one from the pound they have no clue what that dog has been through or seen. Every time is see pit bull in a shelter I feel so bad for them, it is so sad to see how badly people treat these dogs. When all they want to do is live a good life and make you happy.

Fostering

I have always wanted to foster dogs. Fostering to me was a way to help the community and save a dogs life. The dogs at the shelter have gone through my different things, that people couldn’t image. If a dog is at the shelter for too long the could be put on “death row”, that is where they put down a dog because no one has taken it. For me it was important to give a dog another fighting chance. One thing I found out is that dogs are more forgiving than people. Some of those dogs have been through hell but when they get reduced they are very joyful.

I have fostered 3 dog, i want to foster more but its hard for my parents to bring and get the dogs from the adoption house. What got us first fostering when a brindle boxer, greyhound mix showed up at our house on Christmas Day. We could tell that she had been owned because she was well groomed and she was in ok shape. We went looking for her owner but no one claimed her, so went went to adoption house and asking if they could take her. Every place we went said we would have to foster her, so we choose the organization we like the best, Friends of the Animals (FOTA). We fostered her until she got adopted by a good family. After her we fostered 2 more, one named Jenny who was a hound mix, and the other was a small terrier that was named Skippy. I loved fostering but it was hard to say good bye.
