Gathering Blue

June5

Based on this week’s reading I predicted that Kira is not going to be alone. Kira has a friend named Matt and the community does not like him because he is poor and he was from the fen just like the community do not like Kira. On the other hand she does not care about  how poor he is , they are best friends. In the book we can see this where it says “they were looked down upon by most people. But not by Kira” (Lowry 13). this means that Kira does not think like the rest of the community. Overall, this is what I predicted from this week’s reading.

Based on this weak reading I predicted that every one in the community is not a fan of Kira because of one reason. This reason is that she is different from the rest of the people in the community. She is disabled, her legs do not function the way others leg function. Even though before her mom died, her mom  tried to make Kira feel better by saying “when I held you even then, with your spirit not yet arrived and with your leg bent wrong, but you eyes were bright”(Lowry 10). this means that Kira’s mom were the only one who did not make Kira feel bad about herself, but now her mom gone the community is going to discourage her. Overall, this is what I predicted based on this weak reading.

Microsoft’s new Xbox will drastically change your living room. Officially called the Xbox One, the new console comes with a built-in Blu-ray drive, extensive cloud capabilities, and the ability to bring in live TV directly from cable providers and the Internet.  The new console will come with a redesigned Xbox controller and a smarter Kinect camera.  It will let you run movies, while also letting you browse the internet.  Many are anxious to hear the price and the release date, but ” Like Sony, the company offered no pricing or an exact release date” (Louis Ramirez).  Once the new xbox comes out in stores, I think it will take sometime until it gains popularity due to its starting price, which is rumored to be set high.

Brittney, her boyfriend Colin, best friend Sierra and  other friends go to a beach house for a night to have fun and party together. Brittney gets really drunk and walk out to the other side of the beach. She hears music and and people talking, she sees Alex and all his gang member friends. Some start picking on her and Alex sticks up for her. Brittney starts to runaway and Alex follows her, Brittney is not feeling god and throws up all over Alex feet and than she passes out. Alex calls hims friend Isa to help him take her somewhere she can sleep. They go to Isa house and when Brittney wakes up she has no ideal what happen to her.

So since the bet Alex is trying to see Brittney outside of school so they can work on there “project” but every time he ask she has something to do weather spend time with her boyfriend, school, cheer leading, helping here sister who is mentally challenge. He ask maybe to go to her house because she doesn’t want her parents to kn0w they have project and doesn’t want Alex to she her sister and make fun of her.

Now in the book. Brittney and Alex still do not get along but have agreed to work on the project together and get the grade. Alex friends sees that they hate each other so they made a bet with Alex if he can sleep with Brittney in two months than he can have one of there cars but if does not than he with lose his motorcycle. His best friend Paco knows have much Alex loves his bike and tells him not to do it. Now Alex is starting to be friendly with Brittney. I predict that he will lose the bet because Brittney has a boyfriend that she has been with since 10th grade and wound not leave him for a gang banger.

Pi starts to tell the reader about his early life in Pondicherry, India. He tells the story about how his parents named him after a swimming pool, after describing it as “The crowning aquatic glory of Paris, indeed, of the entire civilized world.” This represents the love connection between family, an important aspect in Indian culture. Little did they know it would be a source of torment for Pi. The children of India had trouble pronouncing his name, so instead, they called him “pissing”. This led to the creation of Pi. On his first day of secondary school, he approached the board, when asked for his name, he drew a circle with a diameter through the center. He repeated this in every class throughout the day. He said, “Repetition is important in the training not only of animals but also of humans.” This shows his potential for great things.

The character Pi, in Life of Pi, starts the book off with the quote, “My suffering left me sad and gloomy.” Immediately, I thought to myself that this was going to be a long and monotonous book full of sorrows. After reading the first three chapters, I started to like the book a lot more. The main character, Pi, in the first chapter, divulges his interest of religion and zoology to the reader. He explains that his dissertation was on the three-toed sloth, a very intriguing creature in his eyes. He says, “The three-toed sloth is not well informed about the outside world.” This statement is very peculiar and I think gives you great insight into who Pi really is. He also majored in Theology and I can foreshadow that this will be a very important theme in this book.

Perfect Chemistry #28

Brittney and Alex have a class together and found out that they have to be partners for the rest of the year. They really do not like being partners and already have problems within the first five minutes of class.  They find out that they have a really big project to do for a major grade. The connection I made was one time my teacher assign partners I act the same way if I do not like the person.
