In just a matter of hours his old school Bluford High , friends , and southern home in California would thousands of miles away. Now Hakeem’s family is going to live with his Uncle James, Aunt Lorraine, and cousin Savon in Detroit, Michigan.

Based on the story of Mockingjay, I predict that Katniss Everdeen will not trust Haymitch (her mentor) because he has been lying to Peeta and herself. She did not want to look at his face during his personal invitation. “I avoid looking at him directly, but I catch a glimpse of his reflection in one of the shiny control consoles along the wall”. I predict that she will not care if he lives or dies. I do not think she will work with him again. She will just be with Gale and work what she got to do as a Mockingjay.

The book I am currently reading is Jurassic Park. I have one major question to ask. Why did the U.S Government not allow the bodies of John Hammond and Ian Malcolm allowed to be Buried?

The reason why I asked this question is because I was reading and I saw a quote. That the book said and it was “they did not permit the burial of John Hammond and Ian Malcolm”. It is plausible that the U.S Government wanted to keep the bodies for an investigation. But I do know that they should allow Ian Malcolm to body be sent Back to the United States.  However even though it might be under investigation Ian Malcolm still deserve some sort of dissent burial at the most. However if I am wrong and Ian Malcolm and John Hammond committed a serious crime than I could under

The chapters I read this week were very interesting there was a lot of action. In the first chapter I read Marina

was having fun with her new friend Ella and they got pretty close. Then Ella gets into trouble and Marina tries

to help her but it doesn’t work. At the end of the Marina finds out that the mogadorians have arrived. The next 

chapter I read Marina goes to a cafe and sees Hector and sees someone staring at them and she instantly thinks

its a mogadorians and tells Hector she has to go and using her super speed goes home and gets in trouble with Katarina.

In the final chapter I read this week The whole group (Six, Marina and Bernie)  start to practice together. Then six figures out

that the mogadorians have been here. At the end Marina and Bernie help six open his chest and find a shinny bright little ball

and they can’t figure out what it is.

Based on the story of Mockingjay, Katniss Everdeen wanted to the Mockingjay. I agree that she should be the Mockingjay. “Tomorrow morning, I’m going to agree to be the Mockingjay”. The reason I say this is because she knows Capitol well and she does not like president snow and she has planned to kill him. Katniss is the Mockingjay so she will rebel against the Capitol. I appreciate her confidence because she is a young teenage girl and she decides to be the rebellion.

Motorcycle Development Overseas

November28

How was motorcycle development in American different from overseas?  Overseas, motorcycle development was even greater than in the United States.  The steam power development there preceded parallel development in the United States by nearly two decades.  That is no surprise, since high technology research at the time was done in Europe.  Also, due to the need for affordable public transportation, The United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy all had a love for the motorcycle.  “The bicycle had been in production in Europe since the 1870’s, hundreds of manufacturers produced them”.

This book is very touching and sad. I don’t understand why a mother would treat her son like that? He is a good child and he does nothing wrong at home.His safety at home is limited,he sometimes get to eat and he is put threw a lot at home.I predict that he will run away soon and get some help.He needs to get out the house and find somewhere else to go. I predict that he will keep getting damaged and neglected from his mom.

Hello Internet. My name is Pearl Prynne. You may know me as the “Devil Child.” That’s what people call me since I’m Hester Prynne’s daughter. You may know her. She is the lady with the scarlet letter A on her chest. She is known for sinning by some law called adultery. Whatever the heck that means.

I like on the outskirts of town in this place called Boston. My mother is a seamstress. She can make these very pretty clothes that people look lovely in. Yet, even though they looked pretty on the outside, they weren’t on the inside. I see my mommy get picked on all the time. So as my mommy’s protector, I stick up for her. I yell, scream, raise my fists and argue. I guess that’s why how I got my nickname. But HEY! I don’t care. I don’t have a lot of friends as you can tell. It doesn’t matter to me though because as long as I got my mommy, I’m fine. 🙂

Can I tell you a secret internet? I do wish I had friends. I’m a little tired of playing by myself. Even though I act like a smartalic, I am a little hurt inside. (if you say any of this to anyone I will deny it internet!)

People think I’m weird and odd. I’m not just saying that too. I actually heard it. Reverend Dimmesdale said, “God has made this mother and this STRANGE child to be together. Who else knows how to handle this ODD little girl?” See, he said odd! I wasn’t lying! I don’t know why people think that but at the same time, I LOVE IT! Just because everyone talks about me! I FEEL SO POPULAR!

Well internet I do have to go now. Mother is calling me for supper so I have to go and wash up. 🙁 I will be back soon!

Pearl the A Child 🙂
