“Something like normal”

April15

(Predict)

Trev keeps having those nightmares with his best friend Charlie, who died in Afghanistan while the War was going on. Trev has a few weeks left before he leaves Florida to go back to Booth camp. He reunites with his old high school friends and he sees someone that he would never thought he would see again, Harper. He feels so bad seeing her again because of his fault everyone is high school knew Harper as a “Slut”. Trev is trying so hard to win Harper’s trust again and make her realize that he isn’t the guy he used to be before.”Im sorry Harper, it was never my intention to hurt you this way” Trev Said. Based on this i predict that Harper and Trev are going to end up as a couple who’s love with remain strong and pure.

 

Alec Grosser to enter the MLB draft

April15

It was a normal day for Alec Grosser, unknown pitcher from T.C. Williams High School. He was riding with his teammate to a tournament and then they got a flat tire. Another player that had just finished their tournament and passed the breakdown and recognized Grosser and his teammate, he picked them up and took them to their tournament. They arrrived in the middle innings and he had been issused a jersey and a hat. He warmed up and enetered the game in the sixth innning with the game tied at 1-1. He pitched six innings, reaching 94 mph on one scouts radar and 95 mph on anothers radar. He also had a slider that broke in units of feet and murmurs rippled the stadium. He said “I kind of felt the buzz, definitely.” Grosser then started to get recognized after that game, he started the season for Titans at home against South County. Striking out 1o players in four innings, he had opened up a lot of door for himself and could be looking foward to making some money said one scout. Grosser was then contacted by 29 out of the 30 major league baseball teams so he can enter the major league draft. I can visualize all the attention he was getting and I also connect to it because at a camp I was unknown and nobody knew I had so much talent and speed in me.

After coming back from Booth camp ,Trev keeps having those nightmares about his best friend , Charley whom died in Afghanistan. ” I can’t accept the fact that you’re gone” said Trev.  The death of his best friend really affected him. Nights are rough for Trev because its hard for him to fall asleep without having those nightmares with his best friend. I can connect with what is happening to Trev. My uncle died a year ago , and not only affected me but my family also. When someone close to you died , its hard to accept that fact that you had them with you and the next day they’re gone forever.Also i can feel his pain because all he has left from his best friend are the memories they both shared.

Recently, I read an article on Obama and his opinion of the voting rights act provision. He feels that ” it will become harder to help people who believe their voting rights have been violated if the Supreme Court strikes down a key part of a voting rights law”(Dharapak). In my opinion, there should not be any prohibitions or checks of literacy in order to vote. You should not have to have certain things before you vote, Whether you can read or not, does not necessarily say that you do not know what is best for the nation. There are plenty ways of being informed that does not necessarily involve reading or writing.

As open mike continues Tyrone finds something in common with all the girls through their poems. None of the girls in his classroom don’t like the way they look ” Don’t none of these girls like the way they look? i don’t get it”. He realizes that guys are the complete opposite were not insecure like girls.  I made a connection to this, because a lot of girls i know are really worried about their looks. On the other hand i careless about my look, because i believe i am fine the way i am.

His mother is very excited to see his soon alive again but Trav is not that happy to be back home.” Seeing my mother so happy to see me makes me feel bad because i dont feel the same way ” said Trev while hugging his mother.( page 3) Once he’s home he finds out so many things that have happen since he left home. He found out that his ex girlfriend is now his brother’s girlfriend which hurt him when he found out , now Trev is very hurt and does not want to be home , he just wants his 30 days off to be over so he can go back home. Based on what i’ve read so far i predict that while Trev isback in town , his ex girlfriend will try to get back with him and start messing with both Trev and his brother which will cause tension between the two brothers.

In my book I have several questions my first is why in Jurassic Park did john Hammond recreate the Dinosaurs. The reason why I asked this question is because of this “John How did you do this? I’ll show you” the book never explained in detail that is why I asked this question. My second question is why the park had a security fail safe. The guy who hacked into had it easy, it did not take him long to do so. The point is that the park should have had advanced security system to avoid this kind of problem.  I am pretty sure that was one of those should have, would have, could have.
