God's Children reflection

The people in the movie God's Children, which we watched during Language Arts class, survived by selling the trash they got from the garbage dump. Ever since the landslide that was cause by a big storm, the garbage truck stopped coming and their source of income was cut off. A man that lives in the garbage dump said that he hadn't ate anything in 4 or 5 days. Each family had more than three children and they were very desperate. They had to live in the dump since they couldn't afford real houses. Their houses were made from scrap metal they had found in the dump.

Poverty

Poverty in China is very serious. The people there are hired to work in factories with very low salary. Cause of the low salary, many people don't even have homes to live in. It has been like this since a long time ago. It was because of the low salary. But to be more general, it was because of the large population in China.

Compare and Contrast White Fang

Book:
There is more description in the book than the movie. There is more information about Weedon Scott in the movie than the book. The book is also longer and there are many scenes the book has but the movie does not.

Movie:
There is less information about White Fang's childhood in the movie than the book. In the movie, White Fang does not go to San Fransisco but in the book it does.

Similar:
White Fang is still pretty similar in the movie and the book. The characters in the movie might have different names, but their personality and their actions are similar.

Warning the following information is completely boring, nerdy, and fake.

Day 1
Dear Diary,

Hi. My name is Urworstnightmare. I am a thief that likes to steal stuff. I am a empty headed fool. I waste all my money on the lottery.
Each day, whatever money I have, I go buy lottery with it. I was hoping that I could win more money with it. Like I said, I was a fool for wasting money to gain money. Today, I didn't win anything as usual so I said to myself, hard luck let's try again tomorrow.

Day 2
Dear Diary,
Today, I'm gonna go try my luck again. I went to the lottery stand. I bought a ticket. I checked the numbers. OMG I *The following information is unappropriate for little kiddies* WON. I couldn't believe it and I won 9 trillion £!!

Day 3
Dear Diary,
Today I went to the lottery again and I used up all my money and I lost it all har har har.

The End

Blog questions: Money

1) How would you change if you had a lot of money? Would your personality be different?

2) Would you ever take a risk to reach a goal?

3) Would you ever hurt members of your family just so you could be accepted by your friends?




1) I would not change. I will keep all the money at home. In case the bank freezes my account. My personality will not be different.

2) Yes I will. I will risk everything. Without involving other people. I will even risk my life.

3) No never. Even if it means being a loner for the rest of my life. Unless its the kind like my mom picking me up and me being late for my friends. I would never hurt my family physically.

The People, Yes

The poem The People, Yes is full of nonsense except for the last part.

The Old Sea and the Man... Say Goodbye to fishy haha

Today during Language Arts class, our teacher, Mr. Laffin made us do a blog post of a question on The Old Man and the Sea. My question was, "What would you do if you were the old man?" I would just cut the fish up and eat it.

Moral to the Old Man and the Sea

I think that the moral of this story is that the battle between man and nature, and how each side sometimes wins or loses. One of Santiago's main traits were patience and persistence. Despite going 85 days without catching a fish, he never gives up, nor does he ever complain.

Talk about your luckiest moment

My luckiest moment was when I escaped a car crash when I was 6. I was riding my bike around my neighborhood when I rode to the center of the road. Luckily the cars missed me and there were no accidents. I guess that sometimes I am very lucky.

Mirror Image

I see myself staring back at me.

Hit the Jackpot

If I won £10,000,000 in the lottery, I would give half of it to the Save the World Charity, because it is the only charity I know.

Effective Communicator

Victor, my friend from Grade 7, is a effective communicator, he is really good at making speeches but he hates going in front of everyone. I have never seen Victor panic on stage before. He is always well prepared unlike me, because I usually don't practice at home, but I bet he does.
