Reflection Questions 152-156 On Night

152. Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think he wrote this book because he wanted to show readers how it was like. And how a lot of people would suffer because they would get separated from there family's and kids had to work at a young age, but he wanted to show his readers how it was like back then, with people suffering.

153. Why do you think he chose Night as its title?
I think he chose Night as its title because everything basically happened at night because when they wake up the next morning there weak and they just don’t want to get up. And so Night really causes the problem for the next morning, but sometimes they would’t even go to sleep they would just work over night. But I think they chose the title Night because in the night they would suffer because they did’t know if they were gonna see one of there friends or family member the next morning, so it was hard for them.

154. How does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps?
In the story Elie was always taking care of his father and where ever his dad was he had to be there right there beside him, he would’t want to leave his father at all, not even for a minute. But if he had to because of an order then he would have to leave his father, he did’t want to leave him but he did, because he had to. But he changed a lot when of the men came up to Elie and said that he should’t be taking care of his father , he should be taking care of himself and not to worry about other people but to worry about himself. And so when his father died Elie did’t even cry. So at that point he changed.


155. How does Elie finally come to terms with his ordeal ( what does he finally do?)
Elie starts taking care of himself and he does’t care for anyone but himself. But he not mean to anyone he just gonna take care of himself just like everyone else is doing. And from all the suffering he been threw. He learned how to stand up for himself. He learned a lot of things.


156. Give examples of issues in Night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide.
The thing that still going on today is people getting killed in other country's and they as well are suffering too. I think genocide should be stopped by the U.S going to other country's and try to stop what is happening, because we don’t want children to suffer and other people who live in different countries.

The Diary Of Anne Frank Act II

1. The thing I like best about Anne Frank is that she knows her family in danger but she acts like her family not in danger, by having fun,goofing around, and a lot of different fun stuff. I would like having her as a friend because she the type of friend that would cheer you up when ever your disappointed.
2.The disturbing news was that when Mr.Kraler came to wish the Franks a new years greeting he said that a guy was looking at Mr. frank bookcase and that he could have sworn he there was a door that lead to the loft.
2b. The hint that they give in the ending of the play is when the guy tells the police that he found Jews in a apartment and it was the same guy that wanted more money from Mr.Kraler.
3. The time span of act II is when they barley had time with each other.
3b. the charcthers changed since act I because some of them became brave, and they weren’t scared anymore.
3c. Anne has changed a lot because act I she was being rude to her family and friends but then she started becoming nice by getting everyone gifts for Hanukkah.
4. She means even tho she in that bad situation she knows that there is good people out there.
4b. Mr. Frank meant that Anne believes in nothing real because she saying there good people out there, and he basically saying “no there is no one nice in the world,no one is good at the heart”.
5. When Mr. van Daan stole the food that was a effect because it effect the family because they have to eat not just him.
5b. when she wanted the van Daan’s to leave that was because she thought if they stayed then he was just gonna keep taking the food.
6. Peters mom had a attitude with Anne because she didn’t want Anne and Peter to get into a relationship at that moment.
7. The three are that its bad for the family to trust anyone, they could never go outside or in the basement, and they had to keep the food safe for them.
8.Mr. van Daan takes the food from them, he took it because he was really hungry.Meip bought flowers and cake, she bought for new years because they always have it on new years. Peter van Daan bought his cat because he didn’t want to leave it behind. But soon he had to let it go because the cat kept eating their food.
9. If they would tell the cops then they would probably get in a award for finding Jews, that’s probably why the tieft went and to go tell the police.

The Diary Of Anne Frank Act 1

1.I think the hardest rule for me to follow would be when you can’t go outside and play, because kids want to have fun, not be stuck in a house doing nothing.
2. The objects that Mr. Frank finds in the secret room is Anne diary.
2b. The diary connects with the rest of the act because, in the story Anne is always writing in her diary, and in the story she always writing down how she feels, she always writing down what everyone is doing, only because she can’t come out of the house, so her diary is like her friend because she could write anything she wants in it.
3.Hanukkah is a very special meaning to the family because it’s a time when they all come together as a family.
3b. When Anne bring the present it shows that she really cares for her family and she wants to show them that she can be nice too.
3c. They act enthusiasm about there present because there happy that they got a gift on Hanukkah, because they thought they weren’t gonna get anything at all.
4. She proves that its true because she always writing in her diary about how she feels so she basically saying people can’t just block your mind out , your mind is your mind only and no one else.
5. They had to go into hiding because they found out the Nazis were coming, because they got a ride.
5b. It effects their daily life because they can’t go outside anymore to have fun and they even can’t going the basement to get a pencil that Anne wanted.
6. The Nazis want the Jews to wear the star of David because this way they could tell if they are Jews or not.
6b.i think that it effects the Jews by then having to suffer from the war, and they weren’t treated with respect.
7. Anne is nice to everyone in her family and she nice to her friends. Anne is always putting her feelings in her diary. She always wants to go outside but she can’t.Her and her family are hiding from the green police because they don’t want to get caught.
8. The frank family are really nice to who every they meet, but they will ask questions about that person just to makes sure there not gonna say anything.

Hansel and Gretel

Tell this story through any of the characters eyes.( mother,father,Hansel,Gretel,old woman)

Father: It was the morning, my wife was tell me that we didn't have a enough food for me and her and that the children were taking all the food away from us. she tells me that we should send the kids to the forest but I don't want to do that. I think she doesn't like my kids, some times I don't like her. She always bugging the kids around. I hate that it so much, but its my fault too because i never tell her to be nice to them.

We took the children into the woods, I really didn't want to do but I had no choice, if I didn't do it the my wife would be mad at me. I saw the kids faces, they were sad and confused. I felt so sorry for them. My wife made the fire and told them to go to sleep. She told them we were gonna go cut some woods. We did that, but then we went back home and left the kids all alone. I saw the moon rise. And then I heard my wife shriek. I went by the door because that's were she was. And there I saw my two kids I was so happy to see them back. I didn't know what to say but give them a big hug.

But my wife took them back to the woods again. I was so mad but it was my fault again because i didn't even stop her from taking them. She told them the exact same thing. She told them to rest and that she would go fetch them in the morning. but I knew she wasn't. When we went back I waited for the moon to rise because that when Hansel and Gretel came back. Finally it went up. But after while they didn't come. I started to worry. I told my wife. but of course she doesn't care.

So the next day I was planning to kill her, because i didn't want to see her ever again. So when she was outside I took an axe and kill her. I berried her some where far from the house. Once i came back I was on my way back to the house when I heard foot steps behind me. I turned around and I saw my two kids. They ran to me and gave me a big hug, and I gave them an even bigger one. I told them what happen to their step mother. they were happy about that. and from there on. we had a happy life.

The Out Cast Of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcast's deaths, who/what would you blame and why?(pick only one).

-uncle billy
-Citizens of poker flat
-bad luck
-outcast

I think that the person to blame for their deaths is on the citzen of the poker flat. My reason is becuase if they didn't tell them that they had to leave, then they still what have been alived. and not dead. It was there fault for the whole thing. becuase like I said in the beginning if they didn't tell them to go. then they would have still been alive. and not dead, becuase in the ending of the story. they found them too there, hugging like embracing each other. and then the guys went and killed himself becuase he saw them. and just gave.

Kate Chopin

Desiree's Baby

I thought that Desiree baby was a good story and a sad story, because when her husband said that she had to leave because she was black, it was really sad. And like after she left he was getting rid of everything that remind him of her and the things she touched. but then he found a letter, and really Armand was the one that was black, not her. At that moment he was really shocked. he couldn't believe that he was black and not her. He thought that she was black. He knew if anyone found out about him being black. He wouldn't be rich anymore, they would take everything he had and give it to some other rich guy. Or just throw it away. So really he was the one that was black. not her. So if the story was gonna go on. I think that she would have told someone, this way he could get out of her house. and so he would never come back ever again.

Kate Chopin

The Blind Man


The blind man, was about this guy who was blind. He would sell pencils on the street but nobody would buy them, they would just ignore him. And he was walking on the side walk and this lady notice him from her window, she felt sorry for him. But she didn't even tell him to get out of the sun and go to the shade. Everybody wouldn't even help the man out. Even little kids were trying to steal his pencils. And the cops went to go get him, and found out he was blind, so they let him go. and then he heard people running to the streets. he was wondering were all those people were coming from.But they were there all long, they were just ignoring him. He found out that some rich guy got hit from two cars, and everyone gathered around him. they would help a rich guy that wasn't looking, but they don't help a blind guy that can't even see.

Kate Chopin

The Story Of An Hour

This story was about a girl, who was married with this guy that like to control her around, and would make her do stuff. But then she found out that her husband was dead, and she couldn't believe it. she was really sad but at the same time happy because now she was free, and she was happy that she was getting freedom for the first time in her life. But then she heard a knock on her door. So she got up to go get the door and when she opened the door, it was her husband, she really couldn't believe that. She was so happy that she just fell on the floor. because she was dead. She died of over joy.

Dr.Heidegger's Experiment

What i seen in this experiment was that it went,all wrong and everything was a total, total disaster. Especially because all the readers were not thinking what might happen next. We all should have know it was gonna happen because they were both fighting over her, because she looked all young and everybody liked her and wanted to go out with her. But you have to know that you can never go back being young, because that's not how it works. A lot of people want to be young again. but we can't and they can't. And I think the people in the story that were fighting over the girl now knows that, no matter what u do, u can't go back being young. And were all gonna have to just deal with it.

Desiree's Baby

Armand was shocked he didn't think this could be true. Before he burns the letter he reads it over again, to make sure that what he's reading is not true. So he went to the kitchen to make a phone call,he wanted to call Desiree. So the phone rang and rang, and finally she picked up the phone."Hello....who is this?" Desiree said. "Its me Desiree. Its Armand. Look, I just want to apologize to you,and I want you to come back home,to me." " I'm sorry Armand,but I just can't go back home to you, you hurt me. And now you want me back?" "Yes. I do really want you back. I care about you." Armand lied. "Well---Fine. I'll come back. But if you do that again, I'm going to leave again."

Desiree came back with the baby, they arrived late at night. Armand was waiting in the center of the living room."have a seat Desiree. We need to talk about some things. I'm sorry that I made you leave. That was never nice of me to say to you. I was being a jerk. And I don't want you to leave me again.okay." " Okay,Armand,I forgive you. But I'm am gonna go rest now. I'm very tired. Good night." So Desiree went up stairs and into the bedroom. When she put her stuff on the bed. There was a letter. She read the whole thing, and she was in total shock." you lied to me Armand!!, I I'm leaving, you said I was black. But when really your the ones whose black. Why didn't you show me this letter"

BOOM!!!. Desiree got shot in the head, by Armand who had the gun behind his back. And is secret, is still a secret.

Flowers For Algeroon

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you smarter, would you do it, especially if you knew the side effects of the surgery would only be temporary? why or why not? use the examples from the story.

If I was given a choice to have an operation that would make me smarter I would not do it because if I wanted to be smarter, then I'm going to have to work for it. If I did get the surgery then it would be weird because then I would know everything that I didn't before way to fast, and it would be confusing probably. And another reason on why i wouldn't do is because the surgery would only be temporary, and if I knew that I wouldn't want to do it because it would just be a waste of time. I would not want to die early, just so I can be smarter, to me that's not right. If you want to be smarter then your gonna have to work for it like other people would do.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button,Chapter 8-The End

Explain what this story says about each of these issues:-Family-age-beauty. Use examples from the story to support your explanation for each.

Family- I think the story says a lot about family. I think there just trying to tell us. That no matter how one of our family members look like, we should always respect them and love them, because they have feeling just like us. And we have to have trust in each other, because if you don't trust one of you family members, then your relationship between them won't go so good. and I think trust has to do with a lot in the story.

Age- I think age has to do a lot with the story, because people care on how they look. People don't want to get old at all, they want to look younger. But in the story everyone cares on the age they are, But I think that it doesn't matter how old you are. People have to love you for who you are and not judge you by your own age. And I think age is like the most important thing in the story because this story is really about age, because first Benjamin gets older and then he gets younger. So Age is the most important thing in the story, in my opinion.

Beauty- I also think that beauty was the most important thing in the story, because when Roger, Benjamin dad saw his son for the first time, he was really shock he didn't think that was his son he thought it was some kind of joke. Roger didn't want to be seen with a old guy, he didn't want people staring at his son because they were probably going to make comments about his son saying that he was ugly. But people need to respect other people feeling.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Chapter 3-7

After reading chapter 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter and giving your solution for each.

One of my problems is, I think that Benjamin will start getting over his wife because he is always getting younger and his wife is always getting older and she really doesn't like it. And like his wife could just go cheat on him with someone else and he wouldn't even know about it. So I think he should just leave his wife, because its not going to work out.

My second problem is like when he starts getting smaller, he gonna forget how to talk and he won't understand what people are saying. And I don't think that his wife would be happy, like I said she gonna be mad at him because he getting younger and she getting older. And that not the only problem when Benjamin starts getting younger, his wife won't be able to talk to him.

My third problem is when he starts getting younger he gonna forget everything that he has learned and he not going to remember anyone, not even his wife , and I think that going to be hard for her because her husband is forgetting about her little by little and its hard for her. And like I said he going to forget everything he has learned, it's like he learned for nothing, because he starting forget things little by little.

The Carious Case Of Benjamin button, Chapter 2

Roger is so overly concerned with how Benjamin looks and is worried about what people are going to say. What should he do?

I think Roger should just accept his son for who he is. He shouldn't be worrying about what other people are going to say. Roger has to have the attiude of not carrying about what people would say.Roger shouldn't fight with his son. Roger should be nice to him. Just becuase his son is differet doesn't mean he could just be mean to him,becuase it's not fair to his son, that only knew him for a couple of hours and already he fighting with his son and giving his son attiude. If roger is really worried about what people say, he has to deal with it becuase Roger shouldn't be listening to other peoples comments. That his son and he has to accept the way his son dress. It doesn't matter what people say. So there's really nothing he can do but love his son.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

What would you have done if you were in Roger button shoes in, chapter 1?


If I was in Roger Button sheos, I would be so confuse becuase i woouldn't belive that this is my child. It just wouldn't be real to me. I would have probably started screaming in the hospital, yelling at the nurse saying that this isn't real, and saying that this is so not funny. But I would go to down-town and buy him so clothes, for him to wear. If I were roger I would not know what to do,at all. It would just be so shocking to think thats my child. But I think if I was roger I would try to get to know him instead of ignoring him, becuase I wouldn't want to be mean. It would just take some getting use to, that all.

Graduation

Soon it will be time to say goodbye to all the friends we have made.
We won’t be hearing them calling our names in the hallways.
We will never have the same teachers, that we had at middle school.
We won’t be hearing the same laughs as we did in middle school.
When then last day come, we all try not to cry.
We’ll take pictures, so we’ll always have memories with us.
When we get the diplomas from the principal, we look at the audience,
Once we get those diplomas, tears start to falling on our faces.
When the principal say the class of 2009, we all throw our cap in the air.
We say goodbye to all our friends that we knew for such a long time.
But we all can’t help it, the tears just fall on our faces.
We give our friends a big hug
We say goodbye for the last time, but we don’t tell them “see you tomorrow”.
Once we walk out of the doors, were no longer 8th graders.
We say goodbye to our friends again, and then walk our separate ways.
We all didn’t want to leave middle school.
There was so much memories there.
But will always have them with us.
Forever.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words


It was in the afternoon. I was sitting at the table eating pie because we were finished eating lunch, so my grandma Maria made us some Apple Pie. I have 2 brothers one name is James, James likes to eat a lot sometimes but its only when he grumpy. My other brother is name Jacob, Jacob is more the quiet type, he doesn't really like to talk. He only talks when somebody ask him a question. My mother name is Ann. She is a real nice mom. She helps us with anything we need. And most of all she always there for us. My dad name is Christopher, but he really doesn't hang out with the family a lot. He really keeps to himself. I also have 2 pets. My dog name is cookie. Cookie is my best friend, and he always will be. I also have a horse, his name is nosy because when my family always eats. He'll be right there by the door waiting for someone to drop something good for him. My name is Alice.


I told my grandma "grandma Maria" "yes" she said. I wasn't sure what to say. I just felt like talking to some one. But i wasn't sure if I should bother her because she as cutting up some more wood for the fire place. but I just told her. "Grandma Maria can I please play outside, I don't feel like eating right now. An---" " No." she interrupted me. " You can't go outside right now....it's raining and you didn't finish your pie. So no no no no and no. You got it." she said. "Fine. I'll just tell mama Ann. I'll know she'll understand. Not like you. MAMA!!!. can I please go outside." "No. Dear. You. Can't. Go. Outside." she whisper. " whats going on mama." " It's a long story dear. Maybe later." she said. " No. Mama maybe now!" What was going on with everybody. We were suppose to be a family that tells everything to each other. Not hide things from each other. I looked over at my brother James, he was just stuffing his face with pie. He asked mama for another piece of pie. But mama said no because that was already his fifth piece.
.

So mama went to go Make some more pie. She said that it was for dinner becuase we only had lunch right now. As mama went to go cook in the kitchen. Grandma was going to tell me a story but she never did, she just contiued to cut the wood. My grandma was always qiuet barely said a word.She remind me of my brother jacob.

The Secret

It was my best friend's deepest secret and it would be a hard one too keep. I didn't know if I could handle all this pressure. I felt like someone just put weights on my shoulder. Its going to be so hard for me to keep this secret. But what if I have no choice. What if something happens between us, I mean were best friends and best friends keep secrets right? My name is Julia.

It all started when it was are first day of high school. My best friend name is Christina. We been best friends since the day we were born. My mom was really good friends with Christina mom. My mom name is Angela. And my best friend mom name is Patricia. My mom told me that they been friends since high school, and still friends.

When me and Christina were walking to our first day of high school she seem quiet it felt like I was walking with nobody. She was just swinging her favorite key chain that I got her for her last birthday. She looked sad I couldn't believe she had not said a word yet so I had to be the first one to say some thing. " Christina whats wrong with you, you didn't say one word when you pick me up. Whats going on". She still ignore me. She continue to play with her key chain. but then she stop and just stared at me like I said something wrong. " what do you mean whats wrong with me. Does it look like something wrong with me." she said. " Christina. your acting really weird are you nervous. Don't worry you will be okay in high school". " Julia that's not the problem OK!. Just leave me alone. Will talk about it later. I just need to be alone right now okay".I can't believe it. Whats the matter with her. Whatever it is, she going to have to tell me sooner or later.

I got to my first class which was social studies, which I didn't like at all. I mean who cares what happen in the past, can't we focus on whats happening now. I didn't pay attention in class which was a bad idea, after all it was the first day of high,but to me it didn't seem like the first day, It seems like I been here for 3 months. I just want to get to my next class because Christina had the same class. When I got there she just stared at me like I did something wrong again, I just ignore her hoping that she wasn't looking at me like that anymore. My teacher Mr. Lopez just stared at me like I was late to class, but that when I notice that I was late to class. " Why are you late to my class, Julia" Mr. Lopez said "Oh.......sorry" I murmured under my breath. But he heard me because the class was way to quiet. " Well since its your first day of High school here. I will not send you to the office please take a seat. And make sure it won't happen tomorrow. "okay" I said. I headed to the back of the classroom since I didn't see anything in the front or in the middle. I was going to sit with Christina but this other girl was sitting there, she just gave me a dirty look. But I ignore her has well, just like Christina".

Finally school was over. I was shocked I looked over and Christina was smiling at me. Which was a good thing, I think. " Hey Julia. Whats up"she said in a happy hyper way. " Whats up with me, What's up with you". The smile she just had suddenly vanished. Ugh. I wish I never said that. " what do you mean whats wrong with me Julia." " you were acting wired in the morning remember Christina you told me to leave you alone, and now you want to talk to me." "I know, and I'm sorry about that Julia. Really I am, I just got a lot on my mind I guess." " And that alright for you to take it out on me. your best friend, since the day we were born. you know what Christina I'll talk to you later. I can't handle this right now. Bye." "Wait Julia don't go please. Like I said before there a lot on mind that I don't think I can tell you" "Christina, how could I help you if you don't even tell me whats going on. I can't read minds " " I wish you could so that I don't have to tell you" she whispered. " Look. I have to go Christina. If you don't want to tell me than keep it to yourself than. But just remember we were best friends for a very long time. I know how to handle a secret okay. See ya later. Maybe I'll call you later" I just turned my back and walked away. Ugh. I just can't believe she doing this to me. I know how to keep secrets I think. But why did this have to happen today, our first day of high and already were not talking. I thought when you go to High school it was suppose to be fun. And some people say when you go to high school you forget about your old friends and move on with different people. you know like different clicks.

I made it home. When I saw my mom she was getting stuff out of her car, from here it look like she got office supplies for her new job. but it wasn't, it was just paper stuff. " Hey Julia!!!!" my mom shouted. I hate when she does that. She makes me sound like a little kid. finally when I was at the front of my house I said " Hi mom." " How was your first day of high school Julia?" " ........fine , I murmured. " Whats the matter sweet heart? were some kids making fun of you or something" " First of all mom stop calling me sweet heart okay mom. And second of all none of the kids were making fun of me. It just a long story." " I got time Julia tell me what happen" "Well mom its about Christina" " Oh no. Are you sure its about Christina." "Positive".

I told my mom the whole story. And she agreed with me. Christina should have told me what happen after all we have been friends since the day we were born. " I'm sure she will tell you sooner or later sweet heart ju----." I interrupted her " Mom what did I just say about you calling me sweet heart." " Sorry Julia"

I went to my room without saying anything to my mom after that. But I heard her down stairs. I think she was talking to Christina mom. I just hope she doesn't tell her what I just told my mom. I started my Homework. I didn't have any other homework just one from Mr. Lopez, I don't think him and me are going to get along. But I have to try. I looked out the window it was pouring out there. It look so cool I wanted to go out there and just let the rain fall on me, and forget what happen today at school. So I did go out side in to the rain. I got passed my mom she as still talking on the phone anyway so whatever. When I got outside to the pouring rain I just forgot about everything. I sat on the last stair step so I can get wet in the rain. I was already soaking but I didn't care. As I was just sitting there I looked up at the clouds. And I was also thinking what secret Christina hiding but sooner or later she will tell me, just like my mother said. " Young lady you get right back inside this house.NOW!!!!. Great I thought to my self, now I'm in trouble. " coming mom. So sorry. It will never happen again without you permission"

After all the yelling. I read for awhile, then I watch T.V. Apparently they found a teenage boy in the woods. They said they have not catch who ever did it but they will. The boy had beautiful brown eyes well at least in the picture. He had blond hair. And they said his name was Jacob. Poor Jacob I thought to myself I hope they get who ever did this. How could people do this. I was board I didn't know what I should to now. I went to go call Christina but before I picked up the phone, it rang. That was wired I thought. I answered it " Hello" " Hey Julia. Its me Christina. Look you were right about the whole thing. We have been friends for a long time now so I'm just going to tell you okay." " Julia are you still there" "yea Christina whats up" "okay.......look were you just watching the news right now. About a boy named......... Jacob." Oh no where is she going with this I thought to my self. " yea. I heard about it right now why." "Well........I,I...........I am the one who killed him." " CHRISTINA NO YOU CAN'T BE THE ONE WHO DID IT NO!!!!!" "BUT I AM THE ONE WHO DID IT. YOU SEE I WAS DATING JACOB. He was so nice to me the day we met and he said If I didn't run away with him. Something bad is going to happen to my family. So I drove to talk to Jacob and when he wasn't looking I had a knife behind my back. And when he wasn't looking. I stab him. I didn't want to but I had no choice." " Christina why didn't you just go to the police." "I don't know. I thought they wouldn't believe me because his dad a cop to, and I was thinking because his dad was a cop and everything. I thought he wouldn't believe me. " Christina I can't believe you did this. What am I suppose to do Christina. I got to tell someone. I just have to. I have to tell.........someone. Christina. I got to." " No Julia you can't. If you tell on me they could send me somewhere bad. Do you want then to take me away. And you can't tell Julia because if you do. Lets just say your mom would so miss you. So think about it. " " What happened to you Christina. This---." she interrupted me. "LOOK. Make a decision or I'll make it for you." I hung up on her. I can't believe this. I have to be dreaming. NO. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! I yelled.

Until than on kept my secret from my best friend. I still can't believe this happened. But it did.

Her Mysterious Death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstance and I was assigned to the case. My name is Crystal and am assigned to do this case. I just found out that a 16-year-old girl was killed we found her body by the woods. It was really cold that day.

I have 3 people that I'm going to have to keep my eyes on them for a while. First I interviewed with the first person her name was Sandy apparently Sandy was best friends with the 16-year-old girl which her name was Mary. She told me that Mary and her were best friends and that they did everything together I told her " When was the last time you saw her" I look at her for awhile trying to think what she was thinking she said nothing for a couple of minutes. then she said " well when I came home Mary was there and she told me she was going to run some errands and that she will be back in 15 minutes. except it took longer" I told her " did u at least go out to find her" "no" I said to her " stay in town we might need to talk to you again Sandy". After that she took off there was something really strange about her. I knew was hiding some thing from me.

Once Sandy left I went in the basement which was at my job. My assistant took out Mary to see if we could find any finger prints, except we didn't find finger prints we found scratches they were awful. I wanted to know how she got those scratches. Apparently who ever scratched her left initial it was MJ. It couldn't be Mary last name because Mary last name was Richards. This had to be someone else is initial.

When I went back upstairs I told my boss I will be back soon. I got my car and drove to see Mary ex boyfriend. When I got to his place I knocked on the door but he didn't answer I said "police" finally he open the door, he look terrible like he was drinking way to much. Her ex- boyfriend was name Eric. I told him I had to talk to him about Mary, he let me in his place was all dirty he had clothes every where I couldn't stand it. I told him the same question that I told her best friends Sandy " now tell me Eric when was the last time you've see Mary" " I seen her at the store she buying food I guess, I don't know" he said "Eric this is serious were trying to figure out who killed her" Well it wasn't me. Just because I broke up with Mary you think I killed her?" he said " that not what I said Eric. First of all why did you brake up wit her" I waited for him to answer. He look mad but at the same time sad. " I broke up with her because...... because her dad told me to stay away from her.

He said if I stayed away from her he would give me $500.00" " and did he give you the money" "yes. I had to brake up with her.Either way because if I didn't her dad was going to do something bad to me if I didn't. So I had no choice. am I in trouble or something" No. but tell me again when was the last you seen Mary, and this time be serious no games" " Okay. When I saw her at the store she was happy to see me and I was kind of happy to see her" he said. " did she say anything to you. Something that might be important" "no. All she said was that she was going to her dad house But she didn't look happy about it" " whats her fathers name I asked him hoping he won't lie to me. " his name is Micheal Jones" right when he said his name I remember one of the scratches on Mary arm MJ. But this could not be her father. Eric just told me that if he stayed away from Mary he would get $500.00. So why would it be her father, because it sounded to me like Mary father actually cared about her and didn't want nothing to happen to hurt. This didn't make sense. "Eric. Are you sure your not lying to me again" "Maybe, maybe not. Look I'm drunk can you just go please gosh I hate having cops around it so stupid. don't do this. Don't do that, you guys are annoying have you ever spend one day with your self"

I told Eric not to leave town also just in case something cam up about him. So now I was driving to Mary dad house. When I got out of the cars there was this huge wind and blew all these leaves in my face. I wanted to scream because I wasn't in the mood for something to happen like this. I rang the doorbell. I was hoping I didn't have to say "police" again like I did with Eric. I waited finally he open the door. "Can I help you with something ma,am" " Hello I'm detective crystal I want to ask you a few questions about your daughter Mary can I come in please" he stared at me like I was crazy but he said " sure come on in side. would you like anything to drink" I ignore his questions so I can get straight to the point. He was acting just like Eric he wasn't acting serious. " Micheal Jones when was the last time you seen your daughter" "just a week ago why" and I said " Mr. Jones I know you paid Eric $500.00 if he stayed away from your daughter. Is that true or was Eric lying to me". I waited for him to respond to the question but in stead he told me."I don't know what your talking about. And first of all its none of your business ms whoever you name is now get off my property. " do you mind if I look around". He didn't say anything so I went upstairs to Mr. Jones room to see if I could find anything suspicious. When I got to the room, the whole room was blue. I looked everywhere but couldn't find nothing. But when I look under the bed there was a letter but it must a been just put under there like two days ago because there was not even one drop of dust on the letter. I pulled it out. And read it.

Dear: dad

I'm not going to live with you ever again. I can't believe you paid Eric $500.00. I hate you how could you do this to, me Eric is a good guy and if you don't like it too bad because were getting married and by the way he didn't even brake up with me. He pretended.......pretend dad because he loves me when we weren't around you, he would come up to see me. I hate you so much don't ever talk to me ever again because I never wanna see your lying face again. You got that. Never again. I hate you.

I hate you
Mary

I couldn't believe it. But when I looked underneath the bed again there was another one but it wasn't open. On the envelope it said resend. He was going to send it to Mary,but Mary never open it. But I did. it read.



Mary. I hate you more than anything in the world I wanted to give you adoption the day you were born but your stupid mother said no. she wanted to keep you. And I'm going to find you Mary and when I do-----.

UGLY KID
MJ

Once I saw the initial. I knew that it was him it had to be. I put the two letters in the my purse to bring whit me. When I got up from under the bed he was there. But that not all that was there he had a gun. " I told you to get off my property didn't I" " Why did you kill her. She was your Daughter, and then you just kill her, and why just because she liked this boy" " If you kill me MJ they will know it was you because your leaving all evidence here. "right when he turned around I took my gun out and told him "Drop the gun now and step away from it NOW!!!!". I got outside with him. His hands were still on his head. I call the police they got here quick. They jump out of the car. And put and cuffs on him.

Soon when I got back to work the police called and said that MJ was put to jail. I called sandy and told her it was her father that killed her she was happy he went to jail. And I called Eric this time he wasn't drunk he started crying he said he really liked Mary and they were going to get Married. And he said he was sorry for the way he acted. I was happy that we figured this case out.

How To Make Logandale Better

The first thing that will make Logandale a better school is more fun things that kids can do but learn at the same time. My first reason there, should be some more clubs at Logandale. My second reason, is kids should be able to wear out of uniform. My third reason, there should be fun after school programs for kids. Don't you want kids to learn but at the same time have fun?



There should be more clubs at Logandale because here at Logandale we only have a couple. I think kids want some more because their tired of getting the same old clubs every single every. For example some kids would like a book club, some kids want a Spanish club, and some kids want French club. Kids would want these kind of clubs because some of them want to learn a different language. Every single student here at Logandale Middle School like different things. Not all student are going to like the same things as other students. Different kids have different interest; you can't expect all of them to like the same thing, that just won't work. I think Logandale Middle School should at least try to get these clubs because if they do I think a lot of kids will join these clubs because clubs are fun. A lot of kids want different clubs. Kids want to have fun in school. Kids want to dress how they want.

Kids should be able to wear out of uniform. A lot of kids like to wear what ever they want, when they go to school. Maybe what they like to wear is comfortable for them. They think the uniform they got to wear is not comfortable,or maybe they think the uniform is ugly or the colors are boring. Kids want to wear out of uniform because that expresses who they are on the outside and if they're always going to wear uniform how can you see what kind of person they really are on the outside. Some kids want to show people what kind of styles they like. Kids want to show other kids what they really are on the outside. Kids want to wear what they want whenever they want but still learn at the same time. Kids also want to learn.

There should be fun after school programs for kids. There should be fun math programs this way they have fun but at the same time learn. There should be like a game of math and who ever wins gets a prize. There should be more after school programs so kids could learn different things they don't know already. Kids want to learn in every way even in a fun way.

I think that will make Logandale a better school is. There should be more clubs at Logandale. Kids should be able to wear out of uniform. There should be fun after school programs for kids. Don't you think if there is more clubs, after school, and out of uniform,Kids would LOVE Logandale?

"Crystal's Life Story"

I remember the day my baby girls was born she was so adorable she had big brown eyes. I was so excited to take her home so that she could see her new home. I made her room so pretty it was pink with a wooden crib. I gave her a doll of Mickey Mouse and she just loved it, she would always fall a sleep with it. She would never really cry,just sometimes. I remember when she turned 1 she was so happy she had a bright smile on her face and she had a Mickey Mouse cake it was pink and white just like the doll. I put her hair in little pony tails and put her in a little pink dress. As we waited for guest to arrive she started messing up the decoration she kept taking the Mickey Mouse poster off the wall. Once everyone came she didn't cry she let everyone hold her even my sister Julia all her cousin wanted to carry her but she didn't mind at all. Once it was time to sing happy birthday to her she was so excited we lit up a number 1 candle and we shut the lights off and we sang happy birthday to her when we turned the lights on she was already eating the frosting but the candle was still on so I told my son Albert to blow it out for her. Once it was time to open present she started to cry she wanted to go to sleep because she woke up really early. But once I open the first present she didn't want to go to sleep she wanted to play with her present.

When she was 4. I was putting up the Christmas tree and I was putting up some ornaments and I was going to put some in the back of the tree and all of a sudden I hear ornaments breaking and I look to the side and I see her breaking ornaments with her yellow bat I told her to stop and she did.So I continue to work on the tree again but then I see her waking my 12 year old son with her yellow bat.So I put her in time out because she was not behaving at all. After she was done in timeout I told her to say sorry to my son for hitting him. I ended up leaving the bat outside instead so she could use it to play baseball instead.

When she was 5 I thought her how to a ride a bike she was so happy that I was going to teach her how to ride a bike. So I got the bike from the basement since it was to heavy for her to carry. So I put it in front of the house and she hop on the bike and I was holding on to her so that she doesn't fall off. But then I let go and she was going all by herself I was so proud that my little girl learned how to ride a bike. Of course she fell a couple of times but then she just hop right back up on to her bike.

As years went on she started getting older when she was 11 I took her to Six's Flag Great America for the first time. When we paid for the tickets we walked around to see what ride she and my other 10 year old daughter veronica wanted to go on. Finally they found the first ride they wanted to go to, it was the batman they told me to come on with them because they we scared and because it was their first time going on a roller coaster. They took my hand a drag me along with them. We waited in line for about 7 minutes then it was our turn, we didn't want to sit in the front and we didn't want to sit in the back so we sat in the middle. So I sat on the edge Crystal sat second and veronica sat in the third seat. After everyone was buckled up the ride went up and up and then it went down and then upside down. I did not like this ride it would do a whole bunch of turns. Finally when we got off my daughters like the ride and wanted to go on again but this time by themselves. After that they just went by themselves on all the other rides.

But this is not going to be the end for my Daughter Crystal she still has growing up to do. Soon she will go to high school then she will go to college and then someday she will have her own family. I love her so much.

What Do I Wish From Barack Obama

The thing That I wish from Barack Obama is Honoring Our Veterans. By sending food for them or some clothes or shoes some blankets. I think that Barack Obama should go visit our veterans. Now that Barack Obama is elected president I think that he should show all his citizens that he cares. That he cares being president. So I think he should go visit Our Veterans because the veterans are the one that our sacrificing there lives for our country. Everyday they are always sacrificing there lives for us citizens. So I think Barack Obama should give them some supplies and at least give them a visit. This way he could show this country that he really cares for his citizens

Barack Obama should give them a lot of supplies. And Barack Obama should show our veterans some support this they know that Barack Obama really cares and that he really cares for our country. I think if Barack Obama goes visit them I think in that our veterans our going to be happy. Barack Obama should give them a lot of supplies they need because like I said in the beginning our veterans are risking their lives for us. So Obama should give them as much has supplies as they need.

Everyday Our veterans are always fighting for us. I also think that Barack Obama should say thank you to our veterans for figthing for our country. When our veterans are at war their families are sad to see their son/daughter risking there lives for us citizens. But these family are also proud of them for being brave and fighting for us and our country. Barack Obama should be happy that he has brave veterans fighting for us and our country.

I think that Barack Obama should reward our veterans for always being brave and for fighting for us and our country. He should give them a reward because our veterans really deserve it because of what they did. They really helped this country and that is why. And that is what I wish from Barack Obama.

Life Changing Event

One day when I was 7 years old my mom and dad told me that they were going to tell me some bad news, and they new I didn't like bad news. They told me that we were moving somewhere else and that day I felt sad becuase I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay here with my firends.

So on Friday we left early in the morning and my new house was really nice and I didn't have my own room which I didn't like I wanted my own room but instead I had to share with my sister. My mom told that on Monday I was going to start and new school the name was Avondale. I was kind of excited becuase I was going to meet some new friends and I did. Soon I was in 5th grade which was the last year at Avondale but I was so happy to leave that school. The next school I had to go to was Logandale. I thought that Logandale was much better but I didn't like 6th grade it was boring, 7th grade was a little better.

Soon when school was over we all had summer vacation for 3 month which was good. I was so excited to see what room I was going to be in and when I went to go see what room I was in.And it said I was going to be in 212 and I was so happy becuase I was going to be in honors. I told my mom about it and she was so happy for me. That day I just wanted to go back to school.

When I was walking to school I was so happy but at the same time nervous. When I got to class I made a lot of friends. As the school year went on I made so much good friends. One of the people I met was a Amanda. Amanda is a very good friend that loves vampire. (Edward Cullen) she has a lot of Twilight posters. Another good friend that I also met in honor was Jaymee. Jaymee is also a good friend she will always be there for you. Another person that I met was Ernie, Ernie is a good firend that always makes me, Amanda, and Jaymee laugh. Ernie has a crush on a girl (demi lovato). but he a very good firend. And this was the story that changed my life.

Parents Are The Best

I think that parents are the best teachers for three reasons. My first reason is that you parents could teach you new things that you have not learned in school yet. My second reason is that your parents could help you with your homework on the problems you need help with. My third reason is that your parents could help you during your summer vacation this way you won’t forget what you learned in school. And this way when you go back to school you will remember everything your parents taught you. Don’t you want your parents to help you this way you could do good in school?

My first reason is that your parents could teach you new things that you have not learned in school yet. Your parents could help you do better in school if you learned things you haven’t learned before. If your parents help you, you will do great on testes and quizzes. If your parents help you with your homework you won’t have to go to after school because you have your mom or dad to help you at home. Your parents could help you do better in life. They could also help you with your homework by you telling your parents what you don’t understand.

My second reason is that your parents could help you with your homework on problems you need help with. If you don’t understand homework your parents could really help you because they will do whatever they need to make you do good in school. Sometimes when your doing your homework at home and your parents are not home you could always call them and tell them if they have time to help you with a problem. Parents will always help you with your homework because they don’t want you to waste your time in after school when they know they could help you. Parents are always going to be there for you even in the summer when school is over.

My third reason is that your parents could help you during your summer vacation this way you won’t forget about what you learned in school. And this way when you go back to school you will remember everything that your parents taught you.Sometimes when kids are on summer vacations they forget everything they learned in school. But if you have your parents to help you, you have nothing to worry about.Your parents could make some math problems for you to solve this way they could see what you need help in.And if your parents want they could give a test every Friday to see what you still need help on.Your parents will help you all the time even in the summer because you parents want you to do good in school and get good grades.

I think that parents are the best teachers for three reasons. My first reason is that your parents could teach you new things that you have not learned in school yet. My second reason is that your parents could help you with your homework on the problems you need help with.
My third reason is that your parents could help you during the summer this way you won’t forget what you learned in school. And this way when you go to school you will remember everything you parents taught you. Don’t you want you parents help? So that you could do good in life?

A Skill Everyone Needs

A skill that everyone needs to be successful today is to learn a second language. Learning a second language is very important in life because you could get a better job if you speak a different language, you could help someone in danger, and you could learn about a lot of different people.

My first reason is that if you learn a second language you can get more money at whatever job you get. Some people don't like learning a second language but they don't know that its going to help them when they get a job. For example if you want to become a doctor and you have a patient that speaks Spanish then you could help them because you know that language. The more languages you learn the more jobs you can get.

My second reason is that if you learn a second language you could help anyone in danger. For example if you try to save someone and they speak Spanish instead of English then you could communicate with them. Because you also know the language their speaking and you will help them in whatever danger they are in and they will thank you for that.

My third reason on why you should learn a another language is because you will be able to talk to different people who don't speak English only. for example If you learn a different language you will have more friends that just don't speak English but a different language. Its really important to learn a second language because it will really help you in life. If you have a friend that speaks a different language and you know that language you could learn about their culture.

And this is why I think people should learn a second language. You could get a better job. you could help someone in danger. you could meet a lot of different people and their culture. And this is why I think is a skill everyone needs.

The Best Day Ever

Once When I was a little girl I always wanted to make a bird house but no ever had time, my parents always had to work. But one day my grandpa told me that we were going to make a bird house and i was so happy, I remember screaming and jumping up and down filled with joy. But before we could start the bird house my grandpa told me that we had to go to Home Depot to get the wood and the paint. When we got to Home Depot I saw a kit for making the bird house and I told my grandpa "grandpa look what I found" and he said " that great now we don't have to spend a lot of money" he said. So we took the kit and pay for it and ran out of Home Depot so we can get started on the bird house.

When we got home we got started on the bird house as soon as possible. First we open the kit and found paint and a whole bunch of woods that you could make two birds house if you wanted to. We took the wood and the glue out and out them in separate piles so we wouldn't lose any pieces. I said to my grandpa" grandpa I am going to go get the hammer and the nails in the basement" I said and "OK" he said. As I went to the basement I realize that this is the best day ever because I finally got to make my bird house with my grandpa. So I came back with the hammer and the nails and we just got off to work. The first thing we did was hammer the nails on the wood, It was really hard because I had to hammer the nails on the wood because the wood would sometimes fall out of y hands but then I the hand of it. After I hammer all the nails on the wood we got started painting. The colors that I chose was pink and purple because I wanted to be a princess castle. We started painting and the bird house just look amazing, there was three holes for the birds to go inside and eat. After we finished the bird house I thought it was to plain like something was missing. The thing that was missing was stickers I wanted blue glittery stickers. So after is dried we put the glittery stickers on it was perfect.

After we finish we were walking to the big tree we have in our backyard and I told my grandpa " grandpa we forgot something" I said what did we forget" he said "we forgot string"and my grandpa told me that we have to go back to Home Depot to get some string becuase there was none in my house. When we got to Home Depot we found the string ad ran back to the car and when we got home I saw my bird house on the grass in the shade and as I was walking toward the bird house I saw three birds eating becuase before when we left the house to go to Home Depot I put some food in the house. So as soon as the bird finish eating we took the string to tie it around the bird house and as we were walking to the big tree I told my grandpa "did you see that grandpa did you see the birds eating" " yes" he said he told me lucky we put some food in the house before we left to go to Home Depot. So we got to the big tree that we have in our backyard and we hung up are pink and purple bird house, It was so pretty. And as soon as we hung it up we saw like 5 birds coming towards the bird house. At that moment I realized it was the best day ever becuase I never seen birds so up close they were just a few inches away and I was surprise that they weren't even afraid of us. As we watch the birds eat their food in their house I told my grandpa"thank you so much for helping me it was really fun making the bird house" and he told me no problem.After that we made some lemonade and we set down and talk. And that was the best day ever

Her Smile

When I look at her smile,I knew she was up to something I see that she was going to say something mean to me, but instead she didn't say anything and she just walked away. I knew she was hiding something from me but I just couldn't find out. I knew she told other people about it because as I walk the halls everyone was staring at me but I just ignore them and continue to the walk in the hall to get to my other class.
That night I was thinking so hard about what she was going to say to me that I thought my brain was going to pop like a balloon. Me and her use to be best friends but now were not because she started getting popular, and I wasn't, every time she sees me in the halls by my locker she just gives me that smile and its not a smile like she wants to be friends again, It's a smile that she wants to say something so mean but she doesn't.
I plan on confronting her on why she always giving me those smile that don't mean a thing and why she always telling everyone a lie. I just wish it didn't have to be like this. I just wish we were friends again but I knew that it was never going to happen because all she cares about is being popular
The next day I wait for her by her locker for 20 minutes but she still not there and I don't know why. I waited for another 20 minutes but she still not there. Its not like her to be missing class, she had never missed class before. As I was walking to my locker I heard some other kids talking about her saying that she got a detention for missing class, they say that the security guards caught her running out of the building to go to the store.
But the next day she was at her locker. That means I could tell her why she giving me a rude smile. I told her " why are you being like this we use to be best friends" I said. " That was before I became popular" she said " we can't be friends anymore" she said and I just walked away. and as I walked away she just gave me her smile.
