Question:

 1. 3-5 sentences: What is the significance of David's pet pigeon? (Why does it become important

1. I am not sure what the significance of David's pigeon even do I think his pet pigeon was important to him because he save his family from the Germans and does the same reason why I think that David's pigeon became important on the book.  

Question:
2. 3-5 sentences: Describe the conditions of the Pustkow Vacation Camp. Why do you think the Nazi's use the term "vacation" camp?

2. When the Germans took David to the pustkow camp he had to work for them by cutting trees with an axe which he didn't know how to used until his friend told him how to. The Germans didn't give him anought food after all that work he had done and they didn't even give him health care because when his hands where bleeding the Germans didn't care, they didn't even had a nurse and they still made him work. I think they the Germans called it "Vacation" camp in a sarcastic way but I also think they called it like that so that the capture people would think that there was gone be some kind of "vacation" after they finish working for them.

 

Question:
Name two questions that you would like to ask David Faber.

What does this book make you wonder about? Why?

These book makes me wonder if Roberto and  Francisco are gone be able to send money to their parents because he said he was gone send her money every month or week and now that some one got into there house and got the money that Roberto had save to send to his parents and he got faired from his job even do that guy let him work for him again I  am not sure if they are gone be able to send it on time.

It also makes me wonder if Roberto's parents are gone think that Roberto is not working or he got faired and he can't find a new job and that would be bad for Roberto and his brother because they would not be able to buy food and other stuff so I think their  parents may get worried but at the same time I don't think they would, because they might realize what happen and wait a little more until they get the more.

Do you think Roberto and his brother are gone miss there family so much that they decided to go back and live with them?

I think they would miss there family a lot but I don't think they would go to   Tlaquepaque, to lived with there family because Francisco sounds like he really wants to attend school no matter what, and Roberto does not really seem, like he wants to get back with his dad, mom, brothers and his sister, He seems to like to work and hope his family by sending them money.

What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?

What most bothers me in this book so far is how "Rosa's uncle" only wants her because he wants her to find him a treasure. I also dislike how he asked her for the money that the guy gave her at church because he said it was for her and she sound like she really wanted to keep it . I also think it was wrong for her uncle to leave her behind just because she didn't give him the money. "Rosas's uncle" bothers me a lot because he acts really weird and I think he has mental problems.

What other character besides the main character is important on the book? why?

I think Rosas's uncle is important in the book because with out him she would't have a place to sleep or she would't have to many options for food. She would have to beg a lot more and live in the streets. Her uncle is the only person she knows and I don't think she would like to live all by her self.

what has surprise you in the book? why?

It really surprises me how "Rosa" dosen't realize the mistake that her "uncle" is doing to her. Even do he is not really her uncle I think he should stop thinking about money and he should at least try to hope "rosa" find her parents and stop lying to her.

Do you think "Rosas's uncle" has mental problems ? why or why not?

1) what advice would you give to a particular character. why?

Since Melinda does not have anyone to talk to because her friends are acting weird by not talking to her for no reason I think Melinda should try new friends and get over her old friends and may try to talk to her friends and see what she did wrong or why are not talking to her.

2) Which character would you like ( or not like) to be your friend? why?

I think I would like to be Melinda's friends because she seem really friendly to me and I think she could understand me and I could feel good when I talk to her about my personal life or other stuff.

3) How did what you read make you feel? why?

When  I first read the Melinda's friends were not talking to her even her " best friend" I feel like I would pretty much be really mad at my friends for not wanting to talk to me for no reason and I also keep wondering why were they not talking to her.

4) What does this book remind you of in your life? why?

These book reminds me of one of my friends who meat someone else and decided not to talk to one of my friends just because her new friend does not like her. I think is stupid that my friend decided not to talk to my other friend just because she meat on other friend. They were like best friends until the other person had to came I think is stupid that my friend made that decision because it can't really hurt someones feelings when your best friend replaces you.

Project Reflection

Group name: Global Warnings  Group members: Kimberly, Kezia, Luis, Gabe, Justin and Ramon. Topic: Global Warming and Pollution.

The purpose of this project was to create a formal website with information where  other kids could learn from. To learn about a topic that we the group had chose for example we decided to talk about Global Warming.

In order to learn about Global warming and create a formal website where other kids could learn from we had to research on Global warming, Pollution and some animals that were affected by pollution. My group and I decided to research on Seals, Penguins, Sea Turtles and Coral Reef's. We all had a topic to research on for example I had Seals so I had to research on Seals and different types of seals. We had to make all the information we found in other websites in our own words and put the links from where we got our information in our website. We were also require to create our own website with all the information we had learned and create our own pictures, videos or games.

I learned about Seals and how they are affected by pollution. I learn about Harbor Seals, Neopard Elephant Seals, How Seals are affected by pollution, what we can do to hope them, how to create a formal website and about leopard seals.

In these project i learned how to pharagrase information, how to used dream weaver better and how to create a frame.

Reflection 

I enjoy this project because It was really interesting learning how our world is affected by pollution and about different types of Seals, But even do I really like these project I think I could have done a lot better because I was not focused most of the time and I didn't used my time how Ms I wanted me to.

next time I think I would try to find a lot more information on my topic and used my time and not waste it by talking to my friends or working on stuff that was not necessary in the website.

Al Capone Does My Shirt

1 . These book is based on a a kid name Moose Flanagan who has a sister named Natalie  who is autism and he as to take care of her while his dad is working and his mom is teaching kids how to play the piano.

 

2 . These hole story started when Moose and his family moved to Alcatraz because hes dad found a new job there. 

3 . Moose Flanagan does not like living in Alcatraz because he missed his friends on his old neighborhood but at the end he ends up with a lot of adventures that he would never forget and he also ends up learning a lot of stuff about life.

Nothing but the thrue final post.

1. Do you support philips story why or why not?

2. Do you think phil should had been suspended for singin the start spangle banner in class after Miss Narwine had ask him to stop three times?

3. who was your favorite character in that book explain why.

4. how do you feel about these whole  situation in the book?

Nothing But The Truth. # 2

 

1. I am not sure if the Reporter will put Phil's story in the paper because maybe she would go and talk to the teacher or the principal about it and them she would understand better that a rule is a rule at there school and she would may think that it was Phil's fall.

2. I don't think Ms. Narwit  unfair because if the school tells her what the students are not allow to do and what the rules are she is doing the right thing about telling him to stop. and she also things that Phil is a nice person and she feels sorry because he got kick out of school.  

so on my opinion I think she is a nice teacher.

3. I think you shouldn't hum during the Nation anthem is playing because I guess is un respectful

to that school and is the rule not to.

so far From The Bamboo Grove Final Post

1. I think the ending was a happy ending just like almost every book but even do I like the ending Iwanted the book to say how waas there life before hideyo fin d yoko and Ko. I wanted to know if they went back to there house in korea and Yoko got to go to school and Ko to high school.


I fealt really happy for Yoko and Ko to fing there honorable brother againg but I also felt bad because there dad return from a prison camp after SIX YEARS LATER. when she was about eighteen years old. and because there mother died and AND they loost there beatiful house.

2. I think the kawashima family are still keepin there tradition because the fact that they loost all there belongies and there home they don't want to loose there traditons as a family.

and even do Ko and Yoko are not with there family I think they still want to keep all there family traditions and I think that hope them to remember family times and it makes them a little by sad because is a family tradition and they are not with there family but I think it is may by hope in them to think more and more that there honarable brother and dad are still alive.

3. In So Far From The Bamboo Grove I think I respect and admire Ko the most because she trues really hard to do what her mom would had wanted her to do after she died, because she is really responsible and do as much as she can to have at least one or two meals a day and she cares about her honarable sister Yoko alot and she is also really willing to do everything for her and cares if people at her school do to her like when they laugh when she gets out the paper from the trash can.

4. I learn that people in Korean or Japan don't cares about others they only care about there selfs. and i also learn that they have a really hard heart because if they had to killed someone they would just do it right away and that some people only care about people there own race for example: when some means were rapping girls wich it is really gross and sad .

5. I learn that I should never make fun of someone just because they dress alot different them my and are really poor or don't have money to by at least a pair of shoes or there school materials at least a notebook and still of my laughin of them because they were picking up the trash from the floor or the trash i could hope them and give them some of mine. because people in my class were being stupid and trough plain withe paper away in still of giving it to someone that needs it or keep it and used it better them for trough in into peoples head or something .

So Far From The Bamboo Grove p o # 4

1.  I think Yoko wants to help Mr. Naido because he understand her and  it seems to my like Mr. Naido had the same experience before and he knows the way she feels about the girls at school making fun of her about the way she looks.

2. I don't think Yoko likes the idea of Ko about the money the they have left from there mother, but after Yoko see how much ko is working to help her and feed her she understand everything alot better or at least most of it, better and she appreciates what KO is doing for her and star working for what she wants like selling little clothes and earning her own money to by a new pair of shoes.

3. do you think Mr Naido had the experience about people being mean to him when he was little by the way he is hope in Yoko. (Even do that is not the only reason he is hope in her.)

So Far Fom The Bamboo Po # 3

1 . ko, yoko and their mother decided to leave the train station because there are alot scary stuff going on like. Japanese girls are getting reape by old means and in Japan they can have somewhere to live until they get there own house and Yoko can attend school and Ko and there mother can get a job and they can may by meet Hideo againg.

2. If I was one of them or with them I think I would have decide ton leave the train station too because I would not want to see means reaping girls and I think I would by really scare and i would by thinking what would happen if they found out that I am a girl and I think if they go to japan they would by alot safer.

2. Do you think hideo and yoko, ko and there mother would get together againg and hideo would get hes energy back some how so he can keep walking?

So Far From The Bamboo Grove #2

I  think the hideo is very strong, he cares about his family and other people,he is also very smart, he is  the leader of the family when hes father is not around he really cares about her ko and yoko as hes sisters.

I would take extra clothes, food and water, 2 books, a blanket, my ipod something to wash my face and may by a photo album and does all because I know i would not by able to walk miles and miles with a heavy backpack.

I think the most choking part is when they trough the dead baby out of the window in front of the baby's mom.
