Surveillance Camera

I think the outside of buildings should be under surveillance, so that if there is a crime you can see the criminal. It would help catch the criminals faster, and you could see them and catch them before they steal or vandalize anything. If it was on the inside I think that is an invasion of privacy.

The Holocaust

In Mrs. Moore's reading class we have been learning about the Holocaust and read the Diary of Anne Frank. I have learned about a lot of horrible things that happened to those people, and that the people were not just Jewish, there were Christians and other ways of life too! There were some really awful ways that Hitler thought up to torture people: gas chambers, crematorium's, and some people were beaten to death. You were barely fed and were cramed in with tons of other people in a small room where you had to live. There were also different kinds of camps, death camps or work camps, if you were not strong enough you were sent to a death camp. This is just some information that I learned about the Holocaust.

Jack London

Jack London lived a difficult life, he went through a lot of hard times. He had to start working when he was eight years old to support himself. Later on he became homeless, but he turned his life around. He started reading and writing and made some money. He was married, but got divorced and then married again. Sadly his dream home that he was building burned down. I think it' s tragic that he had to kill himself to get rid of the pain.

My Favorite Mushers!!!!!!!!!!!

The Iditarod

We are e-mailing different mushers in English class and I e-mailed someone named Zoya DeNure. She used to be an International runway model, which I thought was really cool! She e-mailed me back today!

Iditarod

We e-mailed mushers that are going to be in the 2010 Iditarod, and Martin Buser replied to me!

The Iditarod

In English class we are talking about the Iditarod, and we just finished watching a film about the Iditarod from 2008. Lance Mackey won first place through lots of difficulty, competing with his fierce competitor Jeff King, who got second. My favorite musher is DeeDee Jonrowe, she has had breast cancer since 2002, but the reason I like her is because she is proving that you can come back from something like cancer and complete one of the hardest races on Earth! Our class will even get to communicate with one of the mushers from this years race! I'm excited and ready to see who wins the Iditarod this year!
