My class is doing something in novel, it is called a response journal. The book that we are reading is called the outsiders it is a really good book. We only did the first four chapters of the novel. First I am going to tell you about the characters some characters call them selfs greasers because they put grease in there hair. First there is this guy named Ponyboy Curtis he is the main character Ponyboy has two brothers and there names are Sodapop and Darrel but everyone calls him Darry. Ponyboy is shy and is smart he gets lots of good grades, Ponyboy is the youngest in his family, Sodapop is the middle child and Darry is the oldest. Darry is the one that takes care of Ponyboy and Sodapop because there parents died in a car crash. Ponyboy’s best friend is Johnny Cade. There are a couple more greasers and there names are Two-Bit Mathews, Johnny Cade, Steve Randall, and Dallas Winston but everyone calls him Dally. There is some more people in the story but they aren’t greasers, they are known as socs, they are the rich kids. There names are Bob, Cherry, Marcia, and Randy. Cherry’s boyfriend is Bob and Marcia’s boyfriend is Randy. All the characters are nice except for Bob, Randy and there friends because they beat up the Greasers. When I read the book I liked the part where Two-Bit scares Johnny and Ponyboy at the drive in movies was funny because it totally freaked them out because Two-Bit used a different voice. The greasers are sometimes nice but they fight all the time, and some of the socs are mean because they always beat up the greasers. The setting didn’t tell much about it, it only said if it was dark, light, day, night. I also liked the part were Ponyboy and Johnny accidentally fell asleep in another lot, and when they woke up Ponyboy ran home and got into trouble, and after that Darry hits Ponyboy and Ponyboy runs away with Johnny.

These past two weeks we’ve been doing stuff on conflicts.  Today I am going to write something on four kind of conflict. One  conflict is going to be on man vs man. Man vs man is were a man is fighting another man in a battle to see who wins it is kinda like this book I read it is called Lather and nothing else. It is were this man is fighting against another man. Another conflict is man vs nature it is were a fighting against nature. It is kinda like a show I watch called survivor. It is were this man is fighting against nature to survive. Another conflict is man vs society it is were one guy is fighting against a whole lot of people. That conflict is kinda like a story I read called the sniper. It is were this man is fighting against a whole lot of people. There is one more conflict and that is man vs himself it is were man is fighting against himself. This conflict is kinda like this novel I read called prince Caspian. When they are tiered they fight against them selfs and not give up. If you want to learn more about it come here. This is a picture of man vs nature

This week and last week  we’ve been learning about ancient Egypt. Like did you know that beer was made from barley or bread crumbs. Or that the great pyramid of Geza had a layer of fine limestome until it was used to build the city of Ciaro. Or when the pharohs died they got put in tombs. My favorite thing that we did last week was play a video game on the computer about ancient Egypt it was called childeren of the Nile.

On Friday my class had a math test. It was really cool because we got to use calculators. That is the first math test that I did that I got to use a calculator. That was the first test we did for the school year. I don’t really like tests but this one was ok. We start exams in January’s that is our mid term exams we would also have exams in the end of June. On my math test I got 77%. My brother is in the same class as me it’s a 7/8 class. Well he got 83%. My brother sits at a table with a couple of people and they all got the same mark 83%. It is really sad that my brother got higher mark than me! I really hope the next test I get a better mark than my brother.

Last Wednesday I started Tae-kon-do it was fun. I had also had Tae-kon-do on Thursday. My brother, sister, mom and cousin are in it too. There was also tae-kon-do on Tuesday and wednesday but I had to miss it because i was sick. Then  there was tae-kon-do today but I went to this one  because I felt a little better. the only reason I went to school today is because my parents went out of today and I had to choose from going out of town or go to school. I hate going out of town so I chose to go to school. So thats what happened since last wednesday.
