Respond to chirsty!

I know you hate me for some reason right now, but all i want to say that every thing that you said on responding to Bassam post it is the same exact thing as me i swar to god.
Chirsty's Respond's to Bassam
Mr. Sutherland i just want to say that if you read this i already know what your going to say, so i'm going to say it now that this isn't a real counted post because i know it's not the format you wanted it to be so here.
I can relate to you! I do the same thing!. I love Facebook because it allows me to talk to people when I am bored, which is most of the time. Facebook helps me to contact the majority of my friends and if they don't have a phone yet I can message them if I needed help on something When I do homework, I usually get alot of notifications and I would eventually have to check it. Well actually I check and respond once someone comment or messages me right away. I don’t know why I do that, but yeah. Once I check what other people post on my wall it turns it into a 1 hour conversation leaving my homework hanging. Now I do finish my homework but I procrastinate alot which is bad. Sometimes I get in the mood to do homework without procrastinating but in the end I do start to procrastinate. When I need homework help I would ask my friends and the only why I can contact them is through Facebook and when I do ask them my friend and I start going off topic. I use Facebook sometimes to vent my feelings out and what my opinion on things are and my friends would help me and respond to my status and that gives me a feel of their opinions. Facebook = Gossiping. I came across alot of drama and arguing with on Facebook and it distracts me because it is interesting to read. Even though facebook is a distraction it fills in my boredom on the weekends or when I finish my homework early because I am able to talk to my friends without worrying that I have alot of homework to catch up or I would have to stop procrastinating. I get really bored easily thats because sometimes i don’t feel like going out and hanging with my friends or I don’t have a ride so I can just talk to my friends. I know that I seem lame but I’m really not. Well I think i am not lame. Anywho, Facebook is great for keeping your friends in contact but a great distraction when it comes to homework.
     All i want to say is that i do the same excat thing so dont worry just want to bring that out! And chirsty i'm sorry that your mad at me for something i don't remeber doing or that i did but didn't know it was about it. :(

Respond to Bassam Again!

In this quote that Bassam work I highly disagree:
I know that the Ipad has all those features and some other ones. But you didn't add the bad things in it like not having a camera. It's 2010 and apple doesn't even bother to put a camera in one of there devices. that is the only thing that is going to upgrade them to the other ipad. who knows the other version that will come out any time now will have a camera because that is the only other thing that it is missing. The ipad is one of the best things on earth "not counting it without a camera" because it has one of the best screen resolution i have ever seen i n my whole life. another thing is that it will amaze even bill gates because he would have never ever came up with it.
     I disagree with you because you said that apple devices don't have camera, have you notice the iPhone 1,2,3, 4, i mac,i pod touch and i pod nano. How are going to dis apple like that and Bill gates, you may never know if Bill Gates never thought of that, and when you say that please make it clear that there is proof, i just want to tell you that u can't just say what you think unless if its shown like: In my opinion or i think. But i want to say right here that i love all apples devices AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU GOT IT THAT NOT ALL DEVICES DON'T HAVE CAMERA, BECAUSE THEY DO MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU SAY IT.

     I want to bring this out but Bassam i can tell a 100% that you just rushed threw this so that you can get it over with but hey your not learning anything but just doing your work with out checking it. Just because you think its easy at least try, make it more productive then it is because i know that you didn't take your time on this i grantee it. I always so notice that you don't fix your caps because in every first word in a sentence have to be capital but it don't fix it like other programs but at least fix it up a little.

A Child Called "It"

   
  In this story A Child Called "It" it’s about a boy whose life was great in the beginning. But as he got older it became a disaster, like everything just when from a happy family to an abusive family. This story is kind of harsh to others because there is a lot of critical abusive. For an example like when his mom gets very pissed at something he does harsh things to her son but only one of their sons I guess it's because she says that he is a disgrace in their family just because he flunked the 1st grade. Then the mother gets pissed on something and she gets her angry out on her son, like she would hit him until he gets knocked out she would burn him she would stab him. I feel sorry for the boy.

     In my opinion I would of been ran away from home and never come back. But anyways her mom made him do choirs so that he can eat food like breakfast and dinner. When he never gets breakfast he goes to school and steal other kid’s food to survive or when he doesn't eat for two days or so. His dad always try to help him but then his mother angry always won, because the dad hates angry and whenever he try to help him out she tortures him in front of him and he just gives up on his own son which in my opinion is very cruel to give on your own son, the one you made, the one you loved. I give effort to the dad because he tried to help the boy out because he knew it was wrong for him to be treated like that.

     All I have to say when I have a son or a daughter I swear I will do anything for them I will kill my self for them and if the mother of my child was like the same mother in this book, I would of never let this happen I don't care what anyone say. I will kick her out the house I will call the police to take her to jail and I will divorce her ass. I would never like to see her in my life. I want to say that I am a good person I will do good things for good people but for the bad people I would go against them. I just want to say I would never do that to anyone or I will kill my self or do something to stop it. I'll do no matter what for them!

Kite Runner

“What was the author's purpose(s) in writing this book, and how can you tell? How well was this purpose achieved?” “How would you describe the author's style of writing? What's your opinion of the style?”

            In this novel “Kite Runner” was about a kid name Amir and he was a spoiled little kid. He had a dad which was the richest person in their country or town name Kabul. He also had a friend that was living with them through out some of the story. His name was Hassan and they use to do everything together like read books, walk with him where ever they want to go, and especially kite running. Until one day these older boys jump his friend Hassan and then Amir found his friend and he just watched him being physically rape. That’s why I think this novel “Kite Runner” is based on redemption.
            The author’s purpose was about redemption because it showed it through out the whole story. There was a spoiled kid name Amir that couldn’t defend himself but his friend Hassan takes care of him and he is smaller then Amir. When Hassan helps Amir out, Amir doesn’t repay him anything. Like the time that Amir won the kite running tournament Hassan knew where the kite was going to fall. Then everyone was cheering for Amir, Amir noticed that Hassan was gone, later when they finished cheering for him he went to go look for Hassan. He went all over the place and the old guy that worked in a convent store asked Amir “what he is doing looking for a Hazara”. “Amir replies that the Hazara is the son of his father’s servant”. Then the old guy said “he saw the Hazara going south” .As Amir was walking there he seen three boys in the alley that he knows, their names were Kamal and Wali and last Assef. They told Hassan to give them the kite but Hassan refused because he was trying to give the kite to Amir. Because that was Amir’s first time ever win a Kabul tournament of kite running. Then they were jumping Hassan and Amir was just watching like it was a show or something. He was about to jump in and help Hassan but instead he waited until Hassan was done getting brutalized and rape. As Amir seen the three boys run then that’s when Amir seen Hassan limping. He went with Hassan and then Hassan gave Amir the kite while Hassan was crying and bleeding. I think that the purpose was achieved because it showed that Amir didn’t do anything to help out Hassan, Amir even called himself a coward for not helping. In my opinion I think that this is redemption.
            The style of this writing is that it relates to a lot of people in this world that are doing the same exact same for others. Which is called redemption? This kind of relate to me because my dad is doing a lot of things for me because he believes that I am going to have a good future and be successful in life. He does things for me like no other parent would ever do in their whole in tire life in my opinion. My dad always tells me to do my work. He tells me to do well in school to have a better education then he did. Whenever he tells me that for some reason I just don’t put it in my head I just ignore him like if he had said nothing at all. My dad had tried to do everything for me but for some reason it doesn’t work out with me. So now I am trying to do everything I can to pay him back. I try to do better in school so that he can forgive me and love ma like he use to. Like Amir and Hassan, Amir try to make Hassan forgive him by hitting Hassan with a pomegranate so that he can hit Amir back so that Hassan could accept his apology. I think that Hassan wouldn’t accept it because it had really affected him so much. Like the same thing with my dad all the things that I did for him was always affecting him because instead of me doing well I did badly. Now I am trying to turn that up side down so that I can get my dads respected back so that he can believe me. What I just said actually happen in kite runner too because he tried to get back Hassan respect. But in a different way not the way to do good in school but for him to through the pomegranate back at Amir but Hassan was too intelligent for that. Hassan was a good kid and always did things for Amir.
            In conclusion I really know what the author’s purpose of this novel is. In my opinion this novel is based on redemption because Amir feels responsible for his mother dead. As he played in the kite running tournament, he feels like he should bring back the kite to Baba so that he can redeem himself to Baba. All he wants to do right now is to make his dad proud of him. Amir doesn’t care for no one but himself that’s why he didn’t even care when Hassan was getting jumped and raped. All Amir did is take the kite and gave it back to Baba so he can be proud. But all Amir is doing is hurting his own friend. He wanted good things to happen to Hassan so he told his dad that Hassan stole his watch. Then Ali and Baba had a talk about the watch if Hassan stole it. Hassan said “yes” then Baba said “I forgive you” then Ali said “no I don’t want to live here anymore” then Baba said “I forbid you to stay” But Ali wouldn’t. I guess Amir did that for a reason to keep Hassan in a better place then he is. This is why i think it is redemption.

Kite Runner

     In this novel Kite Runner at the end was kind of sad. I didn't read but i heard it from people but then i heard that there was a lot of killing at the end. That's is always a good way to end the novel but i rather let the novel make another good way instead of death. Like the last novel we read which was "of Mice Men's"it was an ending i didn't expect. He killed his own friend i would of ran away with him but know instead he killed him because Lennie was George's misery. I actually cried i didn't know he would have done that. When i seen George struggling in killing him that's when i was saying in my head " don"t kill him don't kill him he is your friend i know he made you mad and everything but just don't do it can't you see he is mental."

     I feel like this book is more about the relatives and the family. I am just wondering why did they name it Kite Runner because he was just talking about it little in my opinion. They have should of called it " the redemption " because he talks about Amir the most and what he does. He is a spoiled kid. But know he is trying to get the bad things out of him so that he can regret. He try's to regret it by being a religious person. Like Hassan. Hassan has been religious his whole life because he did good things and they did bad things to him but he didn't do nothing back. He just let it happen like its nothing. I think in the begin of the story it was all about Hassan's life.

     I also heard people saying the story was sad and people saying its boring because of the Kite part. I feel like it would of been boring to because you think that it was going to be more death but then it just tells you something about kites and how do you play it in Kabul. If i had made it there I'm just being honest but i wouldn't have read that part because i might tell that it's going to be boring.

Response to Luis Alba

I took this quote from Luis Alba because I really thought it was interesting and true:
Oakland is a great place to live at. I live in Oakland. Oakland is so much fun, so many things to do all day. You can go walking around, play sports, or just hang out with some friends. There are many places where you can go, the park, stores, or just outside. Many people out there say," Ohhhh... Oakland is dangerous, do not go outside or you will get shot." No, this hardly happens where I live, sometimes. Most danger is not during the day, it is during the night. What would you be doing at night all alone anyways.
    I live in Oakland to and I can tell it’s not a bad city. Well it’s kind of bad but it turns good. My neighborhood use to be full of drug dealers. There were a lot of them until police always passed by and got someone. This was a good thing because it made that street dirty and ugly because of the drug dealers. The entire drug dealers do is making people look bad in Oakland and I'm pretty sure in other places to but it makes Oakland look really bad. Because of the population that Oakland has.

     I really think Oakland is a good place without the drug dealers. I really think that everywhere else is worse than Oakland. I know that Oakland is kind of bad but a really good place to live in my oppion. I love Oakland especially because of the weather I think it’s perfected and I pretty sure it is because I know that the Bay keeps the weather balanced. Oakland is mostly safe but sometimes it just gets out of control at of nowhere.

     I love Oakland and I will live there my whole life no matter what anyone says. I will love Oakland until I die. I don't care what anyone says about Oakland I was born here and I will die here. When I grow up and be an intelligent person I am going to make Oakland the most beautiful city in the whole wide world then that when a lot of people are going to come and live there. It will be known as "home of the peace". Someday in the future.

I am mad! I need help

   
  I don't no why this is still happening to me. I am trying to do well in school but all I'm getting is bad grades. I don't know why. I am doing work but I'm still getting bad grades I am really losing my cool, I just want a good grade but I can't now I might get kicked out of A.S.T.I. but I don't want to. I want to stay so that I don't have to take 4 years of college. I want to make my father proud of me, I hate it when he compares me to other people like my brother who gets A's and B's which I hate so much when he compares me.


     I want to stay but I don't think I have a chance of staying because of my grade. I am trying to do better than my first marking period. I promised I will. Well I think I am doing well but I guess I am not. I have never been kicked out. But I guess this is going to be my first time. I just want to have a good grade so that I can succeed and only take 2 years of college. I am hoping I can stay this whole year to show them something. I am very pissed and mad at myself. I am tired of my lack of work now I am going to show people who I really am. I am going to be a good student. I am going to ignore people when they talk to me. I will make improvements.

    
     I am going to make changes and I am going to try really hard to make those changes so that I can have good grades better than my first marking period. I am going to do all my work, I won’t get distracted, I won't talk, and I will always focus so that I know what I am leaning about then talk about it later. I will take notes and study them even though I am not having a test tomorrow. That's the point of learning. If I don't get anything I will stay after school and learn about it. I will get help when I really need it and when I don't need it. I am going to do this just for my future.
