Blog Post #6 Silent Questions
1. My little brother was new to are family only a few months old, from what I remember. I didn’t really know exactly what was going own. He was just some other kid hanging out with us I didn’t mind until I found out I had to make a sacrifice. Pacifier’s were my thing I lived on them, and he had one while I didn’t. My parents thought I was to old, especially since there was a new baby in the house.They tried to talk me out of using them, but I wouldn’t give. So I did the only thing possible. I stole as many as I could get my little hands on.My parents weren’t happy finding me hiding everywhere with one in my mouth and more than three in my hands. I grew out of them eventually though I don’t see why they thought it was so bad that I like them so much.
2. Justice is when something bad like a crime is solved. With a fair ruling to the innocent. While the criminal is punished. I’ve just recently heard about how Emmett Till a black man was murdered . He was killed for only whistling at a white women. Which I think is unfair to him and his family. He didn’t hurt anyone but yet he was still killed.
4 . Empathy is when you feel sorry for someone. I felt empathy today when I watch the movie on Emmett Till. I would think no. Everone would be horribly mean not caring how other people felt.

The fact that I have two brothers doesn’t seem too terrible especially to other people. But that dependes on how you look at it. They can be a positive, especially when they protect you or make you laugh, but a negative in situations were they can be real frustrating. I’m mainly going to focus on the positive, like how we could never play outside without all 3 of us together.It just was not the same alone.
My fondest memory outside was are cave. Which was really an enormuse balackberry bush, but our imagenation helped us to look at it as a dark cave. My brothers were the one’s who created it. Before it was just a huge bush towering over are yard, nothing too exciting. They of course saw more potential. So them being men, got their strongest sticks and whacked at that bush with all their strength. I thought it was hopeless the ugly bush looked the same no matter how much they hit that thing. I was bored though so I soon joined in. After a long day of work it was finally finished our monsterouse cave. It wasn’t much but it went deep going around in a loop to a back passage. Where no one could see unless thay really looked. You couldn’t actually do much with it . Except run threw it a couple of times. I think the thrill was in the fact that we ceated it, and that was the best part.

Text messaging is ok i don’t really care for it because I don’t have a phone. None and no one. It probabley is more frustrating to have to write without abrviating when your in class or something. In are language people somtimes do use the abriviatons they use in there text messaging. You can’t see the reaction of the person your sending the text message to. So I guess that it can change your communication.

I’ve kind of switched my book and I’m reading this book called “Catherine called birdy”. Which is basicly in the olden days where there was no hygine. It kind of disgusts me through out the whole book. I’ve learned how much I apriciate bath tubs and toilets.
Uncategorized | Comment (0)Blog Post #2-blogs? What’s a blog
The bloging we do is pretty intresting. I kind of fell like it’s like writing in a journal. It’s nice to get away from writing with paper and pencil. A blog I guess is just a place to put things about stuff you care about or to do assignments on. I’ve only really heard about blogs in movies and some TV shows, but I didn’t know exactly what they were.I’m pretty comfortable with computers, I don’t get on them much though. I usally just go onto computers just to put music on my mp3 player or watch TV shows I missed. I like writing if i have a good topic to write about. I enjoy writing about my life, that way I know when the ending is and were to start. Not like trying to make up a story which is harder. People think were unable to take care of areselfs because we’re younger. The internet can be dangerouse. My peers usally go onto myspace and youtube. The year ahead is something I can’t really tell.
