10/11/2016 0 Comments The Elevator1. What do you learn about the main character, Martin, in the exposition?
From the exposition I learned that Martin has irrational fears of the elevator in his apartment building. 2. What event sets the rising action in motion? When Martin sees the fat lady in the elevator and she starts staring at him is what sets the rising action in motion. 3. What internal conflict is plaguing Martin in lines 81-84? He is psyching himself out and he is debating whether to get on the elevator or not. 4. What details in lines 88-105 help to create suspense about what might happen? Detail words like "in a squeaky voice" or "quivering" help create suspense about what might happen. 5. What details in lines 121-139 suggest a conflict between father and son? The father seemed very short fused in those lines of the story, as if he was trying to get tired of how scared he is.

One of my three character traits may seem kind of obvious but I think it needs to be said, the US president needs to be kind! It goes without saying but some presidential candidates just don't understand what it means to be kind. I mean if you're trying to lead a country, try not to make fun of the people in it. It just isn't going to get you votes. My second character trait is the President has to have at least minimal knowledge of the countries history. Like the fact that there are only 7 articles of the constitution. It just really bothers me when people go out and speak on something they aren't educated about. My third and final Character trait is don't lie. If you did something wrong, just admit to it, don't lie about it, it makes things worse. Not only will you be known as the person that did this but also the person that lied about it. Those are my three character traits that are most important in a US president.
9/23/2016 0 Comments If I Had A Million DollarsThe first thing that I would do if I had a million dollars is go to Europe. I would go to Europe because I have always wanted to and they have really good food. The architecture really inspires me. Also some of the cities really intrigue me. Venice Italy and Rome are a couple of examples of cities that are very interesting to me and I think it would be amazing to tour them.
Another thing that I would do if I had a million dollars is open my own gymnastics company. It would probably be in Iowa City or somewhere close. I would love to do this because I think sharing my love for gymnastics is a good thing to do. Another reason is because a lot of kids don't have opportunities to go to sports because they don't have a car or don't have the money. Well my program would be cheaper than normal gyms and would offer transportation so that kids would be able to do the thing that they love. The third thing I would do kind of goes with the first one. My plan is to travel to Europe but then stay there and take Culinary or art classes. I would really love to do this because I love European food and I want to open my horizons to more than just American culture. I think that it would be a really good thing for my education and my mind so that I know that there is more out there than just America. 9/13/2016 8 Comments Raymond's RunAha Moment...
I think the Aha Moment in Raymond's Run was when Hazel saw Raymond running with her as she was racing. I think this was the Aha Moment because after this happened, she was really proud to be his sister for once and even though she always stood up for him, she was never really thought about being his coach or anything like that. So because she realized that Raymond was actually a really good brother, she was able to connect with him in no way she ever did before. Plot: -Exposition: Raymond has special needs and Hazel (or squeaky) has a squeaky voice and has tiny arms but can defend herself and her brother. She is also the fastest thing on two feet and has won the fifty yard dash multiple times. -Rising Action: When Gretchen and her crew bumped into Hazel and there was a verbal fight. -Climax: During the race when everyone was wondering who would win. -Falling: Action When Hazel won. -Resolution: When they smiled at each other on the podium a. How do you know if something is worth effort? Give an example of a time when you worked hard for something. Why was it worth it? I know something is worth effort when I feel good about accomplishing it. One time that I worked hard for something is whenever I go to gymnastics practice. It is worth it because I feel so good about myself when I win medals at meets. b. How do you judge someone? For example, if you said "She is a confident person," how would you make that judgement? Have you ever misjudged someone? I judge someone only if I know them first, or that's what I try to do at least. Once I know their personality, then I feel like I can judge them. If you don't know them it's more of an assumption than a judgement. I have misjudged someone, especially when I make an assumption. That's why I try to get to know them first. c. Give an example of an Aha Moment you recently had. (Think of the "lightbulb" going off right above your head) How did this change your situation? My aha moment was when I figured out how to do circles on pommel horse continuously. It changed me because now I can get a higher score at competitions. |
