Of Mice and Men Part 1

1. I think Lennie is dependent on George because Lennnie still acts like a little kid. He still is picking up things and keeping them like the mouse. He doesn't realize the consequences of things and he doesn't think things through. I think he has something wrong with him. He still needs someone to watch him and make sure he does not do anything TOO bad.

2. I think its because he cares about him too much. George knows if he leaves Lennie alone he will get himself in a lot of trouble. He knows that if he leaves he will feel the guilt that will kill him inside. Then when he wants him back it might be too late for him.

What do you predict will be the symbolism between Melinda and the tree?
I think it will depict her emotions because she drew a picture about lightning striking a tree

Are schools really this place that is isolating or is it just the student that isolates him/herself?
I think its a student that isolates him/ herself. It depends on the students mood.

If Melinda's parents were more involved, do you think her relationship and feelings toward them
would be different? Also, would her attitude in life be more positive?
yes because she'd be more in a positive environment.

What do you think of the book so far? Even though it may be a bit dramatic, is it far from reality?
I don't think its far from reality at all. things in this book actually happen.

College Bound

I discovered that my GPA is terribly low. With a 1.8, I was almost ready to quit. It was the first month of school and I already have a failing grade. But I'm just going to try harder. That I should work harder in all subjects. That I shouldn't procrastinate up to the point where I am up to my neck in homework. This GPA will probably not let my into the college of my choice. And now looking at my Powerschool, I see that I am not turning in big assignmentsI was very surprised but mostly disappointed. I think I can do WAY better.

I have a feeling that I want to stay inside California. I might want to attend San Fransisco because I've never been there before and I want to experience new things. At the same time, I want to go far away from home and maybe visit 4 times a year. I think I would rather stay close to all of my family in California.

Since I found out how we had 3 months of this semester I was filled with joy. I am hoping to bring my grade up before then and try to maintain it. I'm going to try to do my homework RIGHT after I get home. I'm also going to try going to office hours. I have to start taking my work a lot more seriously.

Sensory Writing Touch

As I wait I feel the rush of excitement in me like a big tsunami brushing over the shores like nothing. I hear the scream's of surprised expressions. The nervousness in me is so large it can almost break free like a majestic eagle in a cage meant for only one tiny parakeet. As I feel my hand being grabbed I brace myself for the worst. I can feel the tips of my fingers linger onto this slimy substance. It feels like my hand is taking a bath in cold, wet, and slimy mud. but this substance is a bit lighter. Then I let out a little eek ! like a scared meerkat. My hand is finally freed from this gooey thing. I rub my fingers together to get a better feel. Its feels like I crush ice, the coldness, the texture, everything. I lift my blindfold and to only see that it was...

Sound is Art ,Fake Art Gallery

It sounded like a bug minding its own business chirping at first. Then the tempo got faster then faster! All of a sudden the more of these abrupt sounds got added to it. it seemed as if they just kept on adding things to the sound. It sounded like tree's all lined in a row and the wind pushes them harder and harder forcing them to hit each other and make that rustling sound. It also sounds like theres no care in the world because it kind of has that i don't care feeling. there's a faint sound in the background. Then you start hearing almost frog noises, kind of like gra, gra... gra gra...this time it changes again. Now it sounds like the sound where you put i disk into your computer, like a erhh... erh... erhhh. With the first sound still playing, it's almost as if the sound is broken with different pitches, random sounds, and a whole bunch of stuff jumbled together. Its almost unpleasant. Then the sound starts to dim like a sunset thats about to leave. It creeps down as the sound clearly ends.

I think its because of danny, how he kept on hitting the tennis balls over the houses. And because Uno is the best there is, he does not want to get beat by someone from Leucadia prep. He doesn't want to lose in front of all his friends by someone who just popped out of nowhere. He also did not want to lose his pride. I also think danny's cousin was a little help in Uno's anger. She said "My cousins the best" and "oh, you will never beat him!" Then everytime danny would hit the ball his cousin would talk even more about how good he is. So uno's temper was already about to explode. So when danny missed the ball and accidentally threw his bat at manny, Uno went berserk and punched danny. I think thats because his pride had gone down, not because manuel got hit with the bat. I think he's VERY upset now about danny hitting all those balls over the 2nd roof.
