Summer Reading Question

A Gift of Magic

The character that I identify with most, would probably be Nancy. I don't have ESP, but that actual character is who I can relate to most. Nancy is more on the optimist side of life, and thats where I am, too. Also, she is very kind towards others around her. Nancy is a good student, and does well in school work. I relate to this, too because I have good grades in school. Nancy is very upset when she finds out that her siser has a broken leg, and could possibly not dance again. I wouldn't try to hurt my siblings, but I would also feel bad if I felt responsible for something that my brother wanted that I had messed up. We also both think ahead of times, and make plans for the future. These are many things that I relate to with the character Nancy.

But, we also have many differences such as I like to dance, like Kirby, and be athletic. I am also very socaiable, and probably wouldn't be so mad if someone tried to help me improve a talent of mine. Like how Mr, Duncan wanted to improve and test Nancy's ESP.

Bullying (Man's inhumanity to Man)

I think that our society can't stop bullying because we always talk about not bullying, or standing up for one another, when we bully each other ourselves. Some of this, we are unaware of, whether you're joking with your friends, or letting go of a little anger on someone. You may not think that if someone called you a name, such as a friend, means anything, and you are not offended. On the other hand, even your closest friends could get offended by that remark and not say anything to you. This is a reason why bullying is so hard to stop.
People talk about standing up for one another, when you see someone who feels unsafe, or uncomfortable. This usually only happens when we know the person real well, or have talked to them before. Also, this doesn't mean that no one ever stands up for anyone, or helps them feel secure, but around crossroads we have groups of friends that we're comfortable in, and for some people it is hard to do things that we aren't used to.
This relates to Lord of the flies, because Jack is always bullying Piggy, and no one really knows Piggy enough to stand up for him. Ralph is the closest to Piggy, since they were each others company in the beginning of the book. He probably doesn't stop Jack from bullying Piggy, because he doesn't want to loose Jack as a friend. Also, some people may think that if they stand up for Piggy that Jack with start to pick on them, too.

Welcome Scientists

My favorite subject is Science, because in class we do many fun, interesting things such as labs and talk about the world around us. I like learning about all the different animals and how to put them into categories.

The best book I ever read was called Alphas. This book was a book that I read over the summer and I really liked it!

My favorite food to buy in the cafeteria are cookies.

On the weekend, when all my chores are done, I like to hang out with my friends, and go outside.

If I won a free airline ticket to any place I wanted, I would go to Aruba, because I love warm weather and the beach.

My favorite color is pink, because its a bright color.

If I had a pet, it would be a dog, and I would name it Bailey.

This year, if I work hard enough, I hope to achieve my top goals, such as trying to be more optimistic towards life.
