Learning about the life of Elli in the book I Have Lived a Thousand Years  teaches me not to take my life for granted. I need to cherish everything I have in life including my family, friends, food, clothing, education, and a roof over my head. Reading my book and seeing all the terrible things that Elli went threw during the Holocaust made me feel sorry. When Elli in the book goes without food for a week, lives in cramped spaces with a bunch of people, and witnesses a lot of gruesome things. Reading about those horrible things makes me stop and think that I should appreciate what I have and be grateful. Also all these things in the book make me realize I just don’t want to take my life for granted when there are people in way worse situations than me right now and that I should be thankful for what I have. The choices people made during the rise of the Nazi Party and the Holocaust teach us about the power and impact of our choice by being able the speak out. People were to afrai...

The most important part of I Have Lived a Thousand Years is the determination that Eli has to save her Mother from dying. Without her mother Eli couldn’t live so she has the desire to do everything in her power to keep her mother alive. When her Mother was in the hospital she try and talk to her from a distance and risk being seen by a SS officer. Also when she risked sneaking her Mother back into there block so she wouldn’t be sent to death for selection the next day. This just shows how Eli has such determination to help her mother in need for survival and so they will both live. My feelings has changed since I started reading I Have Lived a Thousand Years  by the feeling for empathy as Eli’s lives changes constantly. By first in the ghetto and the beginning and then being separated from her father at first, then her Aunt Selma when they arrived at Auschwitz. When Eli was transferred to the hard labor camp and put the work and experiencing her fist encounter with death. Even th...

Something I learned is that over the years from from 1933-1945 is that the laws got worse and worse for the Jews over the years throughout the war. In the beginning they starting taking jobs away from the Jews which wasn’t as bad as it had got to be in the future. When The Nazis would take away things that Jews needed like Milk, couldn’t use ration card for wool or eggs. These things they need to live so they don’t go hungry and won’t starve which is worse than not having a job. This was built because it was apart of history and a memorial it’s something that you don’t want to forget about. It’s a important part of history that we can’t just forget about and needs to be remembered so everyone can see and hear about. With it being a sad topic it is also important to talk about and see how life developed for these innocent people. Also being a big part of history in the world that is nothing like we see today that’s why it’s good to remember and not for is disappear like it never happe...

My favorite book that I have read this quarter is The Giver because of how time we spent on the book analyzing and going into depth with it. I feel like reading books more was my biggest improvement because I have been reading a lot more then last quarter. Something I accomplished since the new year that I’m proud of is eating a lot healthier and less junk food. In my book challenge I have read a total of 8 books this year so far and I’m going to read many more. The most challenging part of the second quarter for me was the literary thematic analysis and I overcame it by working on it bit by bit so I didn’t stress myself out working on it to much. One strategy that has benefited me in ELA is listening to music because it makes me less stress when doing work and helps me get it done faster. I have learned that the world that everyone in it is different in many ways, with all the different cultures in the world and problems. My research skills have improved by now be able to go to site w...

My book called Night is about a boy named Elie and his family and how there life gets changed drastically once the Germans reached their town, Elie and his family were forced to leave their town and everything behind them. They all were put on a train and when they arrived at there destination, it was Auschwitz. As they walked in the boy's were separated from the girls  and they had to change into suits and get to work. “And I did not know that in that place, at that moment, I was parting from my mother and Tzipora forever”. This is something I found interesting because that is such a big thing getting separated from your family and not seeing them for the rest of your life is just something that you couldn’t imagine. One thing I won’t forget in the future is how Elie will never forget the face of the SS solider that told him that he was in a concentration camp to work. Also how the air smells with all of the bodies bodies being burned, leaving the air quilts to be very bad. Now El...

Hi my name is Julian, I’m in 8th grade and this is my first blogpost of the year in my ELA class. I played for the varsity boys soccer team as the one sport I’ve done this year. Outside of school I play travel soccer, hang out with friends, and play video games. I also enjoy watching soccer and rooting for my favorite team Manchester United. I’ve also been apart of three slice of life challenges and have completed two out of three slice of life's. I’m also very determined when I put my mind to something and work hard to achieve whatever it is I want to succeed at.

One of my end of the year goals is to finish at least one more book for the year as the school year ends in a few weeks. I also want to go into seventh grade with having good grades at the end of the sixth grade school year. Some accomplishments I have made for sixth grade keeping my grades up to three’s and four’s and something I’m proud of. I’m also proud of reading five books and counting this year which is something that was a difficult task for me. One goal for seventh grade is not to get a foul which I have not got in sixth grade and hope to keep that up. I want to write lengthy pages for quick writes when we are needed to and focus on what the main purpose is on what we are writing. Something I’m also proud that I achieved in sixth grade was blogging everyday for the month of may and am throwing to do that next year. It’s been a good year this year and have archived many things and hope to achieve much more in the seventh grade.

My first positive of the week is about me and my MAP test which I am really happy about and am proud of myself. Thier is an incentive if you go up on at least two of the test which I barley did and that’s what I’m going to talk about. I went on the math test but didn’t on the reading and all the pressure was on the ELA test and I didn’t go up then I retook it and went up. My second positive of the week is my poetry and how many poems which is four and have been succeeding in my poetry. Im my poetry unit I have also been learning about rhyme schemes to help with my poetry skills and will keep going. My third positive of the week is just getting through this whole week and am really happy with MAP homework and other test with having to do so much. It just created a lot of stress this week and am glad that it is over and have achieved different thing and I’m happy. Thank you for letting me share this blog post with you guys and can’t wait to write more blog post for you guys.

This week thier is MAP testing and I am really sad and really want to go up on the test and have been practicing. If you go up on two test thier is a incentive and if you make growth from fall to spring thier is something extra you get. I have been getting nervous for this test and really want to do good and impress my parents at least need to do better. I was also thinking about what the incentive could be and wanted to know what it was and what it involved. I was also scared because this test goes in your records and everything for when you go to high school and that so the pressure was on. Well I can’t wait for this test that I have to test and will be pretty confident on what I get on the test. Thank you for letting me share this blog post with you guys and can’t wait to share more.

I can’t believe that this is my 50th blog post and by that I mean assigned blog post which is really awesome. It’s just when you think about it that you have done 50 blog post and each eight sentences feels good. Now I feels good that I have worked har and have completed every blogpost assigned and feels like a lot for fifty and to think if I did one hundred would be insane. I wonder how many paragraphs I have done in total with all the blog posts that I have done so far. It’s like I should be getting a reward for this and how far I have come in blogging and now being used to writing a lot in my blog. I want to thank my teacher  for pushing me to blog and get me better at it and even write more and more. Also everyone in my class who has accomplished the goal that I have and congrats to them toand hope they keep going. Thank for letting me share this blog post with you guys and can’t wait to keep writing more and sharing more.

I was so happy to have a field trip today with it being a Monday and not being a bad start to the week and was really excited. On the bus to the field trip all I could think of was eating my lunch because I was so hungry at the time. Once we got to the writing museum where we were going it was in on of these tall buildings but it was just the second floor. When me and my classmates got into the museum we toured the place and did some writing actives on type writers which was my favorite. After about two hours exploring the place we finally left and was about to walk to millennium park to eat lunch. Once we walked over there I quickly started to tear my lunch open and eat it. After I finished eating my food I was roaming the park and then out are nowhere to birds are fighting over food. Once that was over we walked to a different park and wrote about our day for ten minutes which was kinda boring. Then we traveled back onto the bus and me and friend played Fortnite on the way back to sc...

Today I am going to be showing another poem that I favorite and got my attention when I read this poem. I liked how this poem is unique in a way of describing a person in a way that’s nice and suitable for that person. I also loved how the person kind of color coded the poem in again kind of a unique way of doing it. Something I also favorite is that the poem is not one of those very long worded poems it’s a nice and short one. The poem reminds me of alliteration we’re thier is like a category instead of letters as the category. I also enjoy in the poem when in the poem the person is being compared to things around the world. I picked this poem because it wasn’t a very long poem and I don’t enjoy reading those and it’s kinda of boring to me. Overall I like both poems that I have done blog post on and I couldn’t chose one over the other and like both. Thank you for letting me share this blog post with you and can’t wait to share more with you and post more.

I don’t have one favorite song but I have a few one of them that I am picking for this blog post is It’s Everyday Bro by Jake Paul. He is a very inspirational guy who always puts smiles on peoples faces and I really enjoy the song. It’s Everyday Bro has more than 100,000 views and I am pretty sure the song went platinum which is really good. Most of the Team Ten members were featured in the song and each had singing parts in the music video. Also the music video was filmed in front of a huge mansion and featured a bunch of sport cars in the music video. His main line in the song is in as the tile “It’s Everyday Bro” and also “with that Disney channel flow”. There is also a Spanish part by two twin Team 10 members the Martinez Twins and have the only Spanish speaking part in the song. Thank you for letting me share this blog with you and can’t wait to share many more with my viewers.

I favorite this poem a lot when I saw this it just caught my eyes and this poem gave me all of its attention. I like this poem because it’s trying to let you know that happiness is a key to life not stress and being depressed. I knew if sticker this poem to part of my life I would probably succeed in life and will live a happy one. Also when I read this poem I reflected to my self and when I got stressed or mad it got me nowhere at that point. I also like how this poem can reflect on many people’s situation in cases like hard moments for the people. Even though this poem isn’t really a long poem it still stands out really strong and means something. If other people saw this poem I bet that the people will feel the way I did when I read this poem.

Today I’m to talk about my fourth quarter goals and how I will achieve them and with this being the last quarter. One of my goals is to finish more than one book this quarter and to push myself and read three books. I will achieve this goal by reading a lot more often and to read at home and also to get a lot more minutes into my reading. My second goal is to use less of my bathroom passes so I don’t run out by the end of this quarter and won’t be able to go to the bathroom. I will achieve by trying to wait to the end of the day or to wait until passing period to go to the bathroom. My third goal is to participate more in class and to get a better grade for it in all my classes. I will achieve this goal by raising my hand a lot more and speaking more in lessons. Thank you for letting me share all of my goals for the fourth quarter and hope to achieve them all and do my best.

First of all I’m glad that there is even a spring break and a whole week off of school and felt really good to have a break from school. What I mainly did over spring break was play Fortnite on my Xbox and played soccer also with my team. It felt really good over break that I wouldn’t have to struggle to get up in the morning for school when I was able to sleep in. There was some days over break that were a bit gloomy and some days that were a bit nice. I also spent some of my time playing outside in the cold and having to get my energy out by going outside. I went to the store with my mom over break and went for groceries for dinner and food for the week. It was a pretty chill break for me and didn’t have to do much that week. I just loved to day when it was really nice outside and would run and play a lot of soccer which I really enjoy.

I was Fortnite today and with it being Thursday was good because it’s when Fortnite makes an update to the game and that was today. I was going into a game and I’m getting towards the end and with me being by a house and it being not looted so I went in. Once I got in I searched the bottom floor of the house and found nothing good and same for the second one two. So I broke my way into the attack and just paused and stopped and my mouth dropped when I saw it. It was the new guided missle and just wanted to try it out and then I took it outside the house and see what would happen. I shot the guided missle and I was able to guide and I searched the whole area with it and saw how good it was. Now I was just thinking how many different way that I can use this weapon on other players in the game. In the end I was really happy to get the new guided missle and was going to brag it off to my friends.
