wednesday

today in class we continued watching the video and i found it crazy but smart that America would move their big companies over to China so that they dont pay to much for the labor being done. While Americans get paid at last $7 an hour, the chinese people will only do it for $2 a day. Then they take a lot of the products to Walmart to sell which is sold cheaply like the slogan for walmart. A ton of people are trying to change that.

today

today in class you were messing with the shadow "Logan" a lot and kept scaring her and it was really funny because she didnt know what to do. Then you told her to get the class quiet and she just looked around like what are you talking about? Then you said that you two were going to get together at night and grade our papers. And she thought that you were really wierd. Afterthat we went over what our homework assignment was gonna be about which you said that we had too choose 2 world leaders and write a 500 word essay on how they interact together which everyone was saying how hard it was gonna be and all that. So that was our class today.

Wednesday

Today in class we talked quite a bit on the topic last night of the election and how Romneys supporters didnt do anything in anger about the outcome og the election. Next we kept talking about the World Leaders and I said that the Afghanistanian leader can speak with English speaking countries which isnt very good for us. Also Matt said something about another Movie and they didnt even know if it was a cartoon or made up country or anything. Next you and Dan started talking about the Electoral vote and popular vote and I didnt understand one thing of any of that. Therefore today wasnt that interesting of a day and we didnt do much at all. Obama was the first black president to be in service. Barack Hussein Obama is named after his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (1936-1982). “Barack” means “blessing/blessed/to bless” in Swahili and Semitic languages, and “Hussein” is a Semitic word meaning “good” or “beautiful.” Swahili was Obama Sr.’s native language

Tuesday

Today in class I had another shadow of course and we were going over all of the world leaders in class. Then I had picked a really hard name to pronounce and you made me keep saying the name. Then I had to go to the bathroom so you made my shadow say the name before I could go which didnt take that long. So you finally let me got to the bathroom which made me really happy. So then later I was reading about what his favorite class was and he said that it was humangeo and I was surpised. Therefore our class must have been pretty great.

Post #6 English

The title of the book is Rangers Apprentice

The author of the book is John Flanagan

I started this book in the middle of August and finished last weekend

I read 300 pages

The rate that I will give this book is about a 9

I gave this book the rate 9 because I found it really interesting and my brother told me that I should check it out. This is what caught me the most into reading this book. Will is an orphan in Castle Redmont. At age 15, the orphans are expected to either become an apprentice of one of the many masters or go off to work in the fields. I thought that that was interesting that they had to choose their job. That got me guessing as to what Will would pick as his job and as I read on who chooses to be a ranger which I thought was the correct decision for him. Some of his friends picked the other jobs and one ended up becoming a cook ad while reading all of this it was interesting to see how many different jobs there were to choose from. As of right now I am really enjoying this book and I knew that there was no way that I could stop so I had to speed up to finish on time. So then I read on and I find out that a few of friends join to be rangers also and they have to missions and everything for the job as a ranger. Then he started getting into the secretive stuff which kept me in a whole lot of suspense and I really liked the way that the author did that. The book was about getting higher ranks which Will and his friends are going to do a competition out of this which will make them do even better at practices which really worked. And I can relate to this because I do the same thing with soccer. This book is by far one of the best books that I have ever read and I can’t wait till I get to read the other books to the sequel. The only thing that I didn’t like was that they couldn’t fit the whole story into one book so now I need to start a whole other book which is fine with me. Therefore that is why I gave this book the high rate of a nine out of ten.
