Classwork; 02.27.09(center one)

The name of the book is The Bronx Masquerade. This book is about young adults writing poems about them self and they present it to the class. I met 13 characters so far in the story. The thing that I like this book is that some poem have a message to go with it and some of them are cool to listen. I don't like that every time some one finish their story Tyrone always have to say something. None of the characters relate to me.


Me and Lupe have something on common because she don't know about her father and I don't know about him neither. Yeah, I like the character in this book,because they are interesting and they have a lot of problems. This character wanna know about her father and he don't write to her back when she write to him. Lupe thinks that no one love her. She has a person Vs. self and persons Vs. person


Me and Gloria have nothing in common because she have a babe and I don't. The character I don't like the most is Tyrone because he talks to much. My character name would be Katty Perez. She would have a lot of problems with her mom and her mom die of drugs and her mom us to sell Katty's body of money.

Homework; Ms. Bentley

I had a great time in my break. No, the break to a long time. The best thing that happen to me was going shopping and spending the night in my Grandmothers house. I wish I could do more things like going to the movies and ice skating. I went shopping. Now I'm back to school I would like to learn more things about math because the math test is about to come. The things that I really miss about school was my friends.

Racism

In New York City or in the other parts of the World. Their is a problem about Racism. In school the kids call each other names, some of them disrespect each other like everyday. But in my school I never seen people arguing about racism, only when we talk about it in the class with the teachers. I would like racism to be over, they should make a law saying that said color people and white people should get along. If they don't they are going to jell. I just want people to get along.

Poem

My bull is white a the silver fish in the river,

Is the shimmering crane bird on the riverbank,

Is the White fresh milk!

His roar is thunder to the Turkish cannon on the steep shore.

My bull is the dark rain cloud in a storm.

He is the summer and winter.

Half of him is dark and the storm cloud

Half of him is the light sunshine.

His back shines like the morning star.

His brow is red like the back of a hornbill.

His forehead is like a flag, calling the people from a distance.

He resembles the rainbow.

I will water him at the river,

With my spear I shall drive my enemies.

Let them water their herds at the well;

The river belongs to me and my bull.

Drink, my bull, form the river; I am here to guard you with my spear.

My Poem

When you see two Dominicans they are like rice and beans
But when you see a black and a white they are like cats and dog
Sometimes I pray to god that this war end
But I guess is really the people that don't wanna stop
Martin Luther King said he had a "Dream"
But I guess no one really care because this war is still going on

What I learn in class today.

AIM: What was Jim Crow?

Today in class I learn that back is the days their use to be a law called Jim Crow. That law means that the former practice of segregating black people in the US : [as adj. ] Jim Crow laws. I think that non-whites were affected by Jim Crow because they had they were not black and that rule was only for black people. Malcolm X felt really mad about these laws because he think that every one should be treated the same.
Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X.

Langston Hughes was a guy that wrote poems about the things that were going one back them. I think their life were terrible and they couldn't do nothing like have a stable job, get pay well, or be treaded like every white person. I read the merry-go-round (Colored Child at Carnival).Yes, because know we have a black president and rules change ever since 1930. In 1930 they had rules that black people could not do nothing. Black people could work,have a stable home,and they don't need to be scare of ridding the bus and sitting every were.

Diary Entry-Chapter 14

Dear Diary,

When Ms.Abbot made me strip in front of everyone I was really embarrass. I think she humiliated me like that because I pee on my bed and I'm to old to pee in my bed. I felt really mad that I thought I was gonna go to jail? I remember what Ronny told me. "Your gonna hate that place"! I told Kevin to go and make other friends because I don't want him to fell the way I did or Mark did when some one you like leaves and never come back. I felt that Ronny was a lonely kid and that he thinks he is big and bad. Ronny wanted to know who was the biggest kid in the home. Oh Gosh!! I wish I could leave from hear.

Sincerely,
Jennings' Burch

Aim: How do we use spreadsheet to create graph?

Today in class I learned how to use technology to display data in our computer. We were comparing bar graph and a pie chart to see with graph best display the data.

Think and Discuss Questions:

1. The Bar Graph best display the student council budget because in the pie chart it don't show that many information about the data and in the bar graph they show a lot of information like they show how many they spent on each activities.
