Song Math Project.

Hey, Mr. Smarty
he can autograph my projects,
Anytime, anyplace, anyway,
I'll be looking at everybody else,
Watch it
I don't wanna be obnoxious,
But this man worth the attention ,
Take away the smile,
The way he works its amusing.

I imagine him working 
he might set of my rocket
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
On and poppin'
he discovered the hectagon 
And his ego became higher 
celebrate, more math to our life
I should follow this man because its named the prince of math 
he ain't no science guy
But he's helped astronomy ,
he ain't nowritter
But he made Disquisitiones Arithmeticae
 
And when he prove the theorem
of Alegebra
Everybody be breaking
their neck like 
Who Dat Man 
Who Dat Man 
He looks Smart 

he was not Rich
But he got the attetion of the duke of  Braunschweig
 ,
he ain't Einstein 
But the fisrt to prove quadric reciprocity law


And when he contributes to 
the number theory
Everybody be breaking
their neck like
Who Dat Man 
Who Dat Man 
He looks Smart 


Chorus

Who Dat Man,
Who Dat Man
He looks Smart

Poem

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul. -
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed. -
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.

PSA ESSAY

Wildlife is now a days something extremly important for the world.It is so important because we humans depend on it. Wildlife is what makes our enviorment clean. Also If we don't take care of the wild life the world would get  dirtier and it would cause more global warning. Therefore in this essay I will show you how can we make this madness stop.
As an example in Africa 10 years ago their where about 100,000 lions. Know a days their are about 14,000 to 18,000. This is a drastical change. Maasai the indians of Africa where one of the reasons that the lions had decreased(they kill the lion because the lion had ate their cows) but now a days they have been teached to take care of them . Therefore they used know collars to protected them better. http://www.maasaitrust.org/lion_collaring_in_kuku_group_ranch/index.html

Wildlife is all types of birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, anphifians, and plants. If one of this spieces disappears the rest while also start to disappear because it is a perfect cycle. Now a days their are over 150 animals in danger of extiction and 3 to 7 habitats that may longer no exsist. Their are many animals you would your sons to see right? As the cheetah, the rhino, the american Bison; All this animals are wonderful would you like conserving them?

If you see people behaviors towards the nature you will now this madness will never stop but I kno w people can do it for this topic to end. If a every person does something good for thisEarth I almost sure this animals would come back the same as 50 years ago.
I hope I was able to convince to keep helping our Earth and be aware how amazing species are getting extictnt.

Essay

This topic is really interesting to me because I care a lot about animals and I don’t want for them to extinct. These animals and plants are very important to the world. This topic or organization is very important because it helps us to organize people who are interested in protecting animals, and nature.I care about this topic because it away to protect our sons future. It would be very disappointing to see animals and plants disappearing that’s why I think people should do something about it!.

People all around should also care about this problem because it something they are loosing because of their fault if they don’t do nothing the world would start to be in problems , this includes tree cutting , waste disposal and throwing trash. They should worry that they are loosing things that make part of them. If this animals extinct people would then regret about what they have done. As an example like the video of the wild horses.

Some facts about defending wildlife are that a lot of the endangered species around the world are only found in national parks and there, they have been taken care of the animals. As an example I went to Africa this summer and animals were in Nationals Parks where tourists had to leave at 6 so there would be no Poachers. They say that eventhough they have natural parks, and zoos, it is not enough to prevent species to extinct, to protect this people have to put an effort. . Another reason why wildlife is disappearing is because we humans are destructing their habitat if we as humans destroy it the world would end. What different organizations around the world are doing to help maintain animal’s habitats is to protect lands. These are the only lands in the world that have not been destroyed by humans. 

Literary Techniques

Literary Techniques symbolism: when you use something object as idea( wind like in pochahantas)
Foreshadowing : a hint of what is coming later in the story( cinderella)
Flashback : a story interputed to go a to a earlyier part
Atmosphere the emational condition ( the setting emotions)
Plot twist ( a excepted change)
Progressive time
Meaning: When an author writes the story by stages.


Examples: An example can be in the movie "The wizard of oz" when first Dorothy lands on the Land of Oz and then tries to find the way back home, and finally the Wizard takes her back home.
Digresive time:, 
Its when a character remebers something about the past or makes you give clues-

Suspense: Is when it gives you a certainly clue of scare or something like a mobvie or book. Also you get a bad feeling of something. However I like when movies have suspense

What makes something Persuasive

What make something persuasive is how the author use some techqniques to make you fall into the topic. For example when they show you sad images you feel sorry for the topic and start been persuasive. Also the music the use makes you feel different and impacts you. Therefore they use facts to show how the thing they are trying to persuasive is true. Also they use facts, and music to create emotions towards 
the topic. 

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Ethos: someone convinces something
Is being the expert
Pathos is to put emotion in reader
Logos is the facts

Project(1st Quarter Character development)

In this quarter I read the book named Going Solo By Roald Dahl . This book is an autobiography of Ronald Dahl. The book is about he first going to Dar es Salaam working for Shell Oil. Then World War Two breaks out he leaves to Nairobi where the joins R.A.F  where he begins flying training to be able to go to war. After a few months in flying training he crashes in Egypt almost becoming blind. After his recovery he is sent to Greece where he has to fight the Italians which outnumber the R.A.F pilots.

Roald Dahl Develompent :  Since the beginning of the book young Roald shows that he is willing to learn and gain knowledge given to him by different people from different countries and he also loves eccentric and rare stuff this are shown in thsi quote. "All in all, it was rather wonderful for me, a conventional young lad from the suburbs , to be thrust suddenly into the middle of this pack of sineway sunburt gophers and their bright bony little wives, and what i liked best of all about them was thier ecentricities" Ch. 1 pg. 3. In this quote he tells us that this adventure is perfect for him this is shown throught the book becaue of the attitude he has during the events described.  After his first encounter with a snake which was when the deadly black mamba was slithering near Salimu and preparing to attack. After this event he felt really good because he felt he had saved Salimus life by telling him that the snake was behind him, he felt proud about this, but also he knew that he had to become more tedious and careful about snakes becase in this specific part of the world they are deadly. This is shown in pages 30 and 31 in chapter 3. The first quote is "About a month  after the black mamba incident..." This shows that this incident made a big impact on him and then he tells Mr. and Ms. Stanford about it "I told him about the black mamba and Salimu". He is proud to show that he saved a young  lad's life. This examples show that during the book he became a better person and had to defend his life in real life situations.

The author in this book gives some clues to make you predict as an example in pages 117 and 118 Roald Dahl gives clues about his army going to Greece to fight against the Italians. In this case it makes you predict Roald is going to Greece to support his army.
Tone and Mood:
The author gives the tone depending the situation. As an example when Roald sees the chefs wife being eaten by a lion his tone is amused. It was amused because he had never seen something like that. And the mood of the author during the book is that he is intersted and having fun but he is always concerned of what he is doing.

The Worst Audience Behaivor is...... and If I where a God I would.....

The Worst Audience Behaivor is.....
Throwing things at the stage/actors because: I think it will distract people presenting . Also it may cause some of the actor an injury. Therefore it may distract the audience making the show lose interest. It is also extremly disrespectful. Also it could cause angry people at the audience becauese they payed to see the function. Last but not least it may cause the actor a nervous break down making the show terrible.
If I where a God I would....
I would fly. Because if you could go to any place that I would like to go. I could escape from problems. I would not have to worry about tardies. I could score goals in score much faster. In the pacer test i would do 100000000000000 laps .And their would be no problem because I would be independt.

My Study Cards

http://www.flashcardexchange.com/study
Title: The Bully Myth Pic:

Pablo arrived that day from school extremely angry. He was about to cry because at school he had been bullied. He was sick because he was always called names, and pushed around, all because his ex best friend had revealed his biggest secret. Pedro Juan had practically ruined his life. (PG 2)

   It all had started that same week when Pablo had beaten Pedro Juan in a Math Olympics round. Pedro had gotten so mad that he decided to stop talking to him. However Pablo knew Pedro his best friend would not revealed any secrets he had. Until that lunch Pablo was enjoying a good book at the library when  3 kids from the window started laughing at him Pablo did not knew what was happening but he did not cared and kept reading. Pablo was super fast reader. (PG 3)
   
            After lunch ended he had a strange feeling that something was wrong. Pablo passed through the hall and saw that everyone was starring at him, he was confused. But then Pedro arrived to the scene and shouted as hard that he was able make everyone to listen Pablo’s secret. Pablo secret was he had a crush in the ugliest girl at his grade. When Pedro revealed his secret all the kids inside the hall fell into laughter. In that instant Pablo ran as fast as he could to the bathroom. He skipped the classes he had left and went back to his house.  (PG 4)

   At his house he was so mad he had smoke going out his ears, he was not capable to think that Pedro had embarrassed him in that way.  Pablo had no reason to live. But in that moment a bright light appeared in front of him. It was the mighty God Ramon . Ramon was the God of Middle School. (0PG 5)

Ramon was talking to Pablo and told him that he had nothing to worry about that he was going to solve his problems. That next day Pablo went to school with the feeling that he was going to be extremely bullied. At first he was bothered but he remembered that Ramon going to solve his problems. So when he confronted Pedro Juan he saw a light like the one he had saw when he saw Ramon. (PG 6)Ramon controlled Pedro and was able to make him apologized, after all Pedro was then recognized as the wimp of the grade. Pablo now knew he had a protection and was never bullied again. He was then boyfriend of the ugliest girl at the grade who then became the prettiest.   She became the prettiest because the Ramon give her a touch of beauty. PG 7

The author shows his attitude to show you how you should feel towards the Character. If for example the Author wants you to show respect to the author. To show that the character should show the character elements like: his best friend, worst enemy, ambition, etc. The idea of the author is to show what the character feels and acts.

Journal

In middle school many things can happen world wide. As a big example small kids being bullied by bigger kids, therefore little kids now and then have become more suitable to defend them self. Another thing that happens alot in middle school is playing soccer at break with the 8th graders, that is like hell to the small ones because if they take the ball away from a bigger one the only thing they would do is make them fall. Middle school is like a Jungle, in the hall evry one is wild and most of the time it extremly loud.

Summer Reading Summary on Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire




In this summer I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The author of this book is J.K Rowlings. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is basically based on the tournament that is hosted in Hogawrts and Voldemorts return in this blog I will talk more into detail.
The book starts Harry dreaming of the Riddle Family life, and then dreaming of Voldemort talking about killing him. Also at that moment he is living with Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. After all he is invited with the Weasley to go to the Quiditch World Cup. The Weasley pick him in Uncle Vernon house, it was a pretty funny moment because they arrived through the chimney.
Harry goes to the Quiditch to see Bulgaria vs  Ireland. Ireland wins the match but Viktor Krums catches the Snitch. That night after the World Cup the Death Eaters arrive and start destroying everything. After they had  destroyed the tents the Dark Mark appeared(the mark Voldemort made every time he/death eaters killed someone).Where The Mark was done Harry, Ron, and Hermione were there.  Safely they were not guilty from conjuring it.  
When they go back home, Ms.Weasley  worried received them. After being at Ron house they live to Hogwarts. At Hogwarts they arrive nowing that there is the Triwizard Cup. The Triwizard cup consists in three magic schools competing for the cup. Only one student can participate in the tournament. But tjis year there was something wrong, something strange the Goblet of Fire(what chooses the participants) had choose four participants. The participants were Cedric Digorry ,  Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum, Harry Potter is selected. Cedric and Harry participated for Hogwarts, Fleur participated for Beauxbatons and Viktor Krum for Durmstrang. When Harry was nominated there was a great chaos. Therefore at Hogwarts there was a new teacher. The teacher was named Mad-Eye Moody. 
The Triwizard Contest consisted in 3 stages. For the first stage Hagrid shows Harry what he was going to face off, it was dragons. This stage idea was to take an egg that the dragon was designed to protect. In this stage the four participants pass it.
Then there is the second task witch Harry goes with the trust of Dobby( a house Elf). The second task was to grab someone that they loved from the lake. Harry had to get Ron. But how Fleur was not able to reach her sister Harry saves her to. In that task Harry ends 2nd.
At almost the end of the book the third task happens.  The third task idea was in amaze to search for the cup, when finally Cedric and Harry found the cup. They grabthe cup at the same time and are teleported to Tom Riddles cemetery. In this cemetery  Cedric Diggory gets killed by wormtail, in the cemetery Harry is used to create again Voldemort. After Voldemort resuscitates he has a combat with Harry. While the combat Harry sees his Mom , and Dad and also he sees more people that had died.  There is a second that he is able to escape and goes back to the arena where he tell them what happens.  Then he goes to Mood-Eye , Mood Eye asks him a lot of questions. After asking him a lot of questions Dumbledore and Snape arrive. They discovered that Mood Eye was not the real Mood Eye. He reveals he was a death eater and had planned all to make Harry get in the cup and end at the cemetery.  At the end of the book they make an Assembly telling what happened.
