Blog post #29 Tina Fey Bossypants

May15

Tina realized that she was a women at the age of thirteen not because she was told by her parents but through her social life. Tina was constantly being bothered by guys because she had big boobs. This is when Tina experienced car creepery ” a dude drove by and yelled nice tits”. Tina knew that her body parts were causing her a lot of attention. She liked the attention, but at the same time she wasn’t always comfortable.  I predict that Tina is going to lose her virginity.

Blog post #28 Tina Fey Bossypants

May15

When Tina turned 10 she started to get hairy legs, and wanted to shave them. Her mom thought that Tina was to young to shave,  but a while latter she hit her first period. Her mom realized that she is going through puberty. She gave her a kit that explained the whole process called my first period kit ” inside were samples of pads and panty liners an two pamphlets”. Tina had to learn for herself her mom never explained to her what was happening. I made a connection to this because when my mom also never had the talk with my sister she learned on her own.

The Night Circus!

May15

The book i am currently reading is titled The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and it is centered all around a circus. The circus arrives without warning or announcements. Yesterday it was not but today it is. Around and inside the canvas tents of the circus lies unique experiences of ultimate amazement. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves and the creepy part is that it is only open at night. Behind the curtains a competition is ongoing between two young magicians, Celia and Marco. They have been trained together since childhood for this by their instructors. Unknowingly to them this is a game in which only one can be left standing and the circus is the center stage for imagination and will. They kind of fall into a deep magical love that shows the romantic side of them. “The finest of pleasures are” mostly “always the unexpected ones.” ― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus.

The game must be played despite love or not. I predict that they are going to understand what is going on and finally pull safely out of it.

I have 2 questions to ask, my first question is why the “main character in the lord of the rings had to carry the ring to mountain doom”   I never read the book yet so. Why the author would want the main character to carry the ring so far.  My second question is why does movies have to be so long. Because the books are at least 200-300 pages long. I do not believe that you have to have a 2 hour or more movies, when the book just gave the basic story. However the movie was detailed and more entertaining than reading the actual books of the lord of the rings saga.

I predict that Nine, John and Bernie Kosar are going to find were they are keeping Sam and Sarah. I say this because they were heading west were the lady who kidnapped them said it was. I also predict that Marina, Ella, six, eight and Crayton are going to Find eight’s aircraft and fly to America and join the others to fight Setrakus Ra. I can also infer to that because in the book they are at eight’s camp trying to find his aircraft. I predict both of them because the war is getting closer and the book is almost over.

Blog post week 28: School lunch

May15

School lunch is an interesting subject. School lunches can be healthy, and other not as much. school lunches can be big, some can be small.  I personally do not like school lunches to much. Many people believe school lunches should be healthier. ” As parents, we try to prepare decent meals, limit how much junk food our kids eat, and ensure they have a reasonably balanced diet,” Mrs. Obama said.” I predict that school lunches will be healthier as the years come.

Samsung Overthrowing An Apple?

May15

In this article, you see how Samsung has made a greater earning than Apple for the first time in a while. Apple used to be the leading electronic company, due to the iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc, but “after Samsung’s net profit grew 42 percent” in the first three months of the year, it can be assumed that Apples reign over the technology world may soon be ending. I believe that it will happen soon. After the death of Steve Jobs, all of his hired workers were let go and replaced with the new CEO’s hired workers, who were not aware of Steve’s plans for future Apple products. So everything about Apple needs to be made fresh from now on, with all new ideas that will likely be nothing like what Steve had planned. So just be on the lookout for less iPhones, and more Galaxy s3s.

Female DNA On The Pressure Cooker

May15

In this article, you read about how the FBI dug more in depth on the bomb, and on one of the fragments, they found a piece of female DNA on it. The FBI is saying that it “doesn’t necessarily mean a woman might have conspired” with the two brothers, but still no one is exactly sure. In the article you also read about how people are upset about how the FBI does not seem to be doing enough. In my opinion that is ridiculous. There were hundreds hurt in the bombing, and three dead, so why focus on how much is being done exactly by the FBI? They are working on it, so we should remain hopeful about them finding more evidence. Hopefully the FBI will find more evidence on all of this chaos.

The Rise Of Nine

May15

The reading strategy I am going to use is prediction. I predict that Marina, Ella, Crayton and six are going to inform eight about what’s happening and they are also going to persuade him to go along with them. I say this because eight is one of the strong out of the five remaing. I also predict that they are going to meet up with Sam, Bernie K and Nine. I said thi because Sam was suppose to meet six in Virginia but he lost the cordinate’s but he is still going to Virginia to see if he can find it. My last prediction is that they are all going to fight a big battle versus the mogadorians. I say that because the mogadorians have all of there big leaders on earth and they are searching for numbers four through ten.

You Ain’t Got No Yeezy?

April16

The article I read can only be summed up as ridiculous. My article is about how one pair of shoes sold for more than a brand new Mercedes. Kanye West’s Air Yeezy 2’s, autographed and worn by him, were “sold for $99,000 in a charity auction for Hurricane Sandy victims.” Kanye’s signature already sells for at least $2,000 now, but about $100,000 is just beyond belief. Now the shoe was sold for a good cause, but people are already being killed over wearing his shoe, so wearing an autographed shoe could only end with tragidy. I like how Kanye was supportive for the Hurricane Sandy charity, it shows that even the biggest and most egotistical people can have a big heart. I would be happy to donate money, but if I had $100,000 laying around, I would spend it on important things, or even 50 pairs of Air Yeezy 2’s.
