guns germs and steel chapter 2

What role did ‘geography’ play in the story of the Maori and the Moriori?

It's about 2 groups that split up. Then like 100 years later they see each others and fight. They didn't know that they were really were fighting there ansesters. The moriori have a bigger army and win the battle. So yeah thats what roll they played.

Street art prompt

I know this is late but it's missing work.

I think that is is really cool how he takes a picture of it close up and it looks like it was a regular picture of people walking and camping out in the middle of the mountain area. The picture is of  tiny toys and it looks like there life sized. I think that it's really cool.

This is why you shouldn't do drugs..

Billy and John were at home got bored, and got high..

"Dude, I'm like so freakn' high man.." Said Billy.
"Yeah I know this is so cooooooool" John replied.
"I bet I can jump off a building and fly." Billy said without doubt.
"No man.. But you should go try it I'll take a picture" Said John.

He tries it. John took a picture of Billy with a cape on in mid air. It looks like he was flying but he was falling.. He dies

"Oh my god, I killed him :(. What am I going to do??"

Guilt, my anti-drug.

D & D thing..

D&D religion? She wrote this.

"Religion
Religions are systems of belief that consume one's entire intellectual outlook, a characteristic Dungeons typifies. But whereas mainstream religions are a healthful addition to the plurality of human experiences and diversity of viewpoints that makes this country strong, Dungeons is a scourge of the lowest sort. Dungeons provides its adherents with no positive moral direction whatsoever. Whereas the religious are taught to love their neighbors, Dungeons adherents are encouraged to despise them as detractions from the task at hand: perpetuating the Dungeons movement and its subversive goals."
Wow, this there is something wrong with this lady.. I'm not messing with you either. D&D is a board game lady.. there's no freakin' church for it lady. I really don't think the was thinking about what she was going to say when she was typing this. I don't think her son killed himself because of D&D. I think that she should have mentioned the top book.. or maybe he didn't even want to kill himself because of those books or the game. Maybe he just wanted to use the books to get that high up to jump down to hang himself. I mean if he used a chair maybe she wouldn't have ever post this dumb thing. But, I wouldn't blame her, her son killed himself. Maybe she just wanted to blame something for her sons death. She was probably in a world of pain because of that. I really don't think anyone should be so mean. :( Her son killed himself. Wouldn't you go look threw those books and see witch one probably "killed" your son? Am I right?

Thomson's Violin

One day, you wake up in hospital. In the nearby bed lies a world famous violinist who is connected to you with various tubes and machines.

To your horror, you discover that you have been kidnapped by the Music Appreciation Society. Aware of the maestro’s impending death, they hooked you up to the violinist.

If you stay in the hospital bed, connected to the violinist, he will be totally cured in nine months. You are unlikely to suffer harm. No one else can save him. Do you have an obligation to stay connected?

------------------------------------()\/\/N3[)----------------------------------


If this were to happen to me I think I would stay connected to Bucket head. Of course, for some money. Actually, maybe I would do it free because I'd feel really bad and greedy. But, only as long as I do NOT pay those hospital bills... Those can get expensive. I think I would be willing to do this, but, only if I'm able to play some Xbox 360 with him and stuff. But, if he was a nice person I bet he would probably give me some money. Or at least a reward. He would probably feel bad for me and want to give me some money. I mean 9 months is nearly a year of your life wasted. Also, I would be able to meet someone famous and that would be pretty cool. Oh and at night.. I am defiantly taking his mask off.. In the end, he probably would respect me later on and say, "That guy saved my life." That would also make me feel good about myself. But, he better pay up :).

Book Review "That Was Then, This Is Now"

"That Was Then, This Is Now" is a great book by S.E. Hinton. The same author of the amazing book "The Outsiders" Most of you guys probably read that book. It's about these kids, Mark, Bryon, M&M, and Cathy. Mark's parents died when he was the age of nine. So he starts living with Bryon. It's a realistic story. It's kind of like a sequel of "The Outsiders", but, it's not. Some of the characters from "The Outsiders" pop up in the story. Mark is one of those people who can "charm" their way out of trouble. Until, Bryon rats on him. Bryon only ratted on him because he was jealous of him. Also In the story, there is a lot of drug use, fighting, and hate. I thought this was one of my favorite books by S.E. Hinton. I'd recommend this book to anyone who liked "The Outsiders". (People who like teenage fiction books.)

Micro Fiction

I walked down the street and saw some kid. The kid looked familiar. I talked to this kid, he turned out to be some old neighbor of mine. He was a cool person, but, he wasn't the same when he started smoking pot. "Well times change my friend" I said.

Student Reflection

70/100

I think I'm at 70 because I'm not trying hard enough. I didn't pay as much attention as I know I can. I know now to study harder on spelling tests and stuff. I can improve by bringing my grades up and getting my test scores higher, because I know I can. In my other classes in Mrs. Peirce's class I don't think I'm doing that good Because of out groups. We didn't really get anything done but then we started getting stuff done. Math is my worst subject but I know I can do good in it if I try. I  think I'm doing pretty good in Spanish. In the beginning of the year, I didn't know any Spanish. But, I learned how to say tons of words in Spanish, and my grammar in spanish is improving. When I figured out that I was going to this school I was pretty bummed out. But then I figured out some of my friends were going here. Also I met some new people here. Now I'm pretty glad I came to this school.  This has been a bad beginning of the year but I promise I'll make it all up.
