an old idea
Like a piece of paper where anything is possible. The things that we can think of is insane. Like think of the stuff that we cant think of. Compared to 100 or 200 years ago our minds have evolved. We are able to use the unimaginable ( computers tvs cars etc.) in our normal everyday life.
The Beatles said living is easywith eyes closed. Missunderstanding everything you see.Life is about perspective. If you see someone down the in the halls one day and there moving through the halls hella fast and bumping into people yiur gonna think that there a rude person. If you hear someone talkin about how much weed they smoked the other day and how they can whoop anyones ass your gonna be like this persons full of shit but then your oyher friend is gonna be like oh im hanging out withthis one kid that pertty cool and realize its that kid that you think is a peice of shit. You that your friendWould never hang out with him because of the way you seen them act before but thats just the perspective tht you saw od that peraon and your friends perspective that he saw of him. Its fucking hella complicated. This happens all the time though.
When your relaxed around your best friend and dont care and when your with people you dont really know, there perspective of you is diffrent. Just like one kid may know me as the pot head that comes to class stoned everyday but another kid may think that i'm quite and dont bug anybody and another may think that im the most anoyying kid in theyll ever meet. My mom may think that im alwaysMad and never want to talk and a friend may think im never mad and just chillin yhe whole time. You dont really have controll of what peoplethink of you, actually you have no power at all of what peiple think of you. So you might as well do what yoy want to do cuz there gonna talk no matter what. Damn. 5 5

INSANE
what if we found another planet in the universe that had humans and they have been living in the us as long as us. Both planet So the other plant's humans and and earths humans had to figure out weather to share eachothers technology and knowledge. And from sharing ideas technology went through the roof. But also a war broke out between this new planet and Earth. That would be INSANE. I dont even know what wuld happen.

monthly review: i know why the cage bird sings
Find out about the author. How did they end up writing this particular book? Is the author's true life reflected in the book in any way(s)?
If you've read other books by this same author, how does this one compare? (You don't need to decide which one is better, although you can.)
The novel, I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings, is about experiences in Maya Angelou’s own life that made her the person she is now. Maya Angelou grows up in Stamps, Arkansas, a town that is racist and was raised by her grandmother. She was a very intelligent girl who read a lot of book’s as a child. Maya tries hard to figure out about the adult world, and why people treat blacks so poorly. Her grandmother was very strict and religious. One experience and possible one that could have changed her life the most is when her father picks up Maya and her brother, bailey, to live with her mother in St. Louis. While she is there her mothers boyfriend, Mr. Freeman rapes Maya. Later on her mother finds out about it and mysteriously Mr. freeman dies. Maya thinks that it is her fault that Mr. freeman dies and becomes depressed. Maya and Bailey are sent back to Stamps, and that is when she meets Mrs. Flowers, who teaches her about writing. Writing started to be an escape for her later in her life because she was show the power of language and writing. The rest of the book she talks about more incidents both good and bad about her life.
Maya Angelou, is a racial right’s activist. She believes in equality, and in this book she writes about many different experiences that her and her family go through due to her being African American. I think the reason Maya wrote this book is because, her story is very inspiring. Since she is against racism this book is to help stop racism by showing what people went through, and how hard it was to be African American. Maya also mentions and refers back to her religious beliefs. Religion is one way Maya was able to keep her dignity through out these experiences. At sixteen Maya was faced with a new challenge, she had a child. This adds to the themes of this book. The themes to me are, self-discovery, motherhood, and family. The main reason of this book is to give hope to people, which sounds like something Maya would want her work to do for people. The book reflects her life in everyway. Her child hood and life is open to the public; having multiple books about her life. For Maya to write about her life in so much detail can be emotional, she writes in detail about when she was raped as a young child. That for some people is a very deep secret and hard to talk about. Her writing about this though, is like a message saying that it is okay to talk about these problems and that you cannot have it take over your life. I think that, that is a great message to send people because it can change your life for the better. In this quote said by Mrs. Flowers, she explains to Maya about how important language and writing is. "language is man's way of communicating with his fellow man and it is language alone that separates him from the lower animals." (pg. 95) This quote show why Maya might have wrote this book. Because of Mrs. Flowers empowering Maya to express emotions through her writing, she found a way to tell the world about these problems and that it is alright to actually tell people, so that you can help people so that they know that they are not the only ones going through all these problems. I think with out Mrs. Flowers teaching Maya about writing she might not have been a writer, but I don’t know her whole story. Maya did read a lot as a child so that could have been an influence to be a writer.
I have also read a letter to my daughter in 8th grade for my English class. That book is like a bunch of short scripts and poems put together. Maya in this book’s style is different then I know why the cage bird sings. Her style is very warming and loving. Its like she your mother, which is kind of the point of the title. Even though it is aimed towards women in a way, it is still a good book to read. It makes you feel like the book it’s self loves you, I don’t really know how to explain the feeling but it effects you like no other book has. If I had to choose one or the other I would have to say to read a letter to my daughter only because of the thoughts it leaves you with. But I’m not saying that I know why the cage bird sings is bad, I think if you had the time you should read both because it gives more of the full effect of her writing. In I know why the cage bird sings, Maya makes the book seem more like a memoir in a disguised as a story and letter to my daughter more like shared experiences. Both I feel like give the message of hope but a letter to my daughter give a bunch of messages all to feel an uplifting feeling. To be able to write an entire book and give the feeling that it gives you is incredible. I will say that she is one of my top authors, she has gone through so much and has so much to write about and does it in a way that effects you mentally unlike any other book. I most likely will not read anymore of her book, because they do not really catch my attention but I do think they are good books, it is just I prefer to read informational types of readings. Ill most likely end up reading another Maya Angelou book though.

favorite bands
My top five favorite band are: Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, The Wombats, The Kooks, and The Shins. I listen to a lot of Alternative Indie music, to be more specific new Brit alternative rock music. I really like the sound of the slight British accents mixed with an American style. All the lead singer in the bands that I listed except The Shins lead singer, James Mercer, all have a slight accent.
My fifth favorite band, The Shins, consists of lead singer/guitarist James Mercer, guitarists Dave Hernandez and Eric Johnson, drummer Joe Plummer, and bassist Ron Lewis. They are from New Mexico in 1997. There music is said to be influenced by Modest Mouse, another one of my favorite bands. The Shins have 3 recorded albums, Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, and Wincing the Night Away. My favorite songs from The Shins are: New slang, Sleep Lessons, Know Your Onion!, Australia, and much more. The Shins were nominated in 2008 for a Grammy Award for Best alternative music album. They have four labels, one including Cargo Records.
My Fourth favorite band The Kooks originated in Brighton, England. This band had more of an acoustic sound then the other bands that I talk about but also can be upbeat too. There music has a catchy rhythm to it, and Luke Pritchard, the lead singer’s voice is very distinct because of his strong accent. I think the reason I like the kooks is because it have a sort of arctic monkeys sound to it. The kooks signed there first record only three months after they started as a band. They have a label with Virgin Records and have two albums, inside in/inside out and Konk and working on there third album currently.
The Wombats are my third favorite band and originated in Liverpool, England. They released 2 albums that were only available in Japan. I’m not really sure all the band members names but I know that Matthew Murphy and Dan Haggis and two members of the Wombats. The wombats have one song called Lets dance to joy division which was released in 2007. The wombats met in a performing arts school in England in 2003. They have 2 record labels that I know of, one is 14th floor records and Roadrunner records. I have not heard one song of the wombats that I haven’t liked, bu ti haven’t heard all there songs.
Number two on my favorite bands list in Vampire weekend. They are an American Indie rock band from New York, New York. They got there name from a movie I think, but I’m not sure. There music style is like no other. I wish I could explain how they sound but it’s easier to just listen to there music. There best songs to me are: I stand corrected, taxi cab, cousins, and campus. My mom actually likes cousins, which is kind of weird. Vampire weekend only has two albums out, Contra and Vampire weekend.
My number one favorite band is the Arctic Monkeys. I have been obsessed with them ever since I found out about them. They have four members of the band, Alex turner, Nick O’Malley, Jamie Cook, and Matt Helders. There style cover everything that I like and some. They have a Ska background and an Indie rhythm. They are from Sheffield, England and formed in 2002. There isn’t one song that I have not heard from them off a recorded album, and know almost every word to every song. There most popular songs include Mardy bum, when the sun goes down, a certain romance, and Florescent adolescent, but if you listen to any other song it would be just as good. In just about every one of there songs they just jam really hard, even though there guitar parts are “easy” they some up with classic melodies. They were voted number one band that you should see live. I have not seen them live but with out a doubt will see them in the future. I wish I could right more about the arctic monkeys but im getting tired and about to go to bed.
Hope you enjoyed reading about my favorite bands and I hope this helped you find some new music to listen to.

LOVE
The rules for being a girlfriend or boyfriend to me would actually depend on you. Some guys hate it when the girl he likes just even talk to another guy and some guys can careless what she does. This can aply to both boys and girls by the way. But the main rule that im trying to say is that you should not cheat on your partner. I think that cheating is the worst thing you can do to another.
When going on dates the guy should be polite, for example he should pay for the date, he should open the door for her and ect. If someone were to break one of theses “unwriten” rules, the consiquence would most likely be a break up but for sure a fight. In a way it just depends on what you did or what rule your broke. You really should not lie to your girlfriend or boyfriend, it just makes things worst. One thing that really isnt a bad thing or a big deal but you shouldn’t say things that you don’t mean. Like for example if your girlfriend says they love you, you shouldn’t say I love you back unless you really do love them back.
I personally think that the guy should ask the girl out but again that’s just my opinion. It really shouldn’t matter who makes the first move because sometimes you can get really nervous and not be sure if the person likes you back. The last girl I liked she made the first move and everythings like that which was perfect lol, but it was kind of unfair. I think these rules were agreed upon by everybody. But I think these rules are different for everybody because everybody is different and have different oppionions. I think the way you act around the people you like might changed because you don’t want the person thinking bad about you wrong about you.

monthly book review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
In the fictional novel, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, by J.K. Rowling a baby named Harry Potter was the only wizard to escape from a very evil wizard name Voldemort. Harry had to grow up with his aunt and uncle until he is old enough to go to Hogwarts, which is a magic school. But mean while Harry his aunt, uncle, and his cousin that treat him like Harry is worth nothing and makes Harry‘s live a living hell before until Harry can go to Hogwarts. Once Harry is old enough he goes to Hogwarts and Harry makes two good friends Hermione and Ron. Harry faces a life and death situation with Voldemort, this would have to be the second time that Harry has to face Voldemort in his life and the first time Voldemort killed Harry’s parents and left a scare on Harry’s forehead. Harry has to stop Voldemort from getting the sorcerer’s stone. Voldemort tries to tricks Harry to tell him where the stone is but Harry finds a way to stop Voldemort and save the stone.
Ron Weasley is one of Harry’s friend that he meet on the train to Hogwarts and is also his room mate. Ron is a very important person in the story because he helps Harry find the sorcerer’s stone and keep it safe. Ron is one of many children and does not have much money at all. But when it come to be Christmas time Ron’s family is able to send Ron and Harry Christmas presents. When Harry sees that he actually has Christmas presents he could not believe it. But one of the presents that Harry gets is not from Ron’s family its from Harry’s father that died when Harry was just a little boy. The present is a Cloak that turns invisible. Harry and Ron go down to the forbidden part of the library to learn about Voldemort. Ron also helps Harry at the end of the book by playing a game of wizards chess, which is like real chess but the pieces are actual size and if a puzzle piece gets captured the get smashed to pieces. In the game Ron sacrifices himself so Harry can go on and save the stone. For sure Harry could not have done what he did with out Ron. Ron is like a side kick to Harry threw out the series; he is always there for Harry and because of this Ron is in most of the action that goes on in the book.
J.K. Rowling uses a lot of symbols and in a way have complicated themes. I think this really makes reading more interesting and more fun to read. Symbols really makes you think about the book and because of that you really go into depth with the story and makes it more easier to understand what is going on. Some of the symbols that she uses are very easy to pick out but they do represent a lot. One symbol is the scare on Harry’s forehead. This was one of the first symbols that I saw and it connects the Harry’s past about his parents dying and Harry living. Another symbol that is very important in the book is the Mirror of Erised. In the mirror of Erised Harry sees he reflection and parents behind him. Later in the book the mirror tells him how to defeat Voldemort. J.K. also is very descriptive explaining things. She is able to paint this picture of wizards, witches, goblins, and all these mystical creatures in our minds. She comes up with this plot that could go on forever which I really like. Anything could some up at anytime which I pretty exciting. Even though her writing is very popular it is fun to read. J.K. uses a lot of themes in her writing. The themes that she uses are necessarily lessons but they are more like deeper examples of dealing with what needs to be done. Harry really goes out of his was to do something that he believes in. the things that he did could have got him in to very big trouble and he knew that but he still went out and did it. Which is one of the themes of the book. I think one of the reason’s why J.K. Rowling’s writing gets so much attention is because of ways of describing what is happening and because Harry Potter and his whole story is nothing like any other type of its kind.
I have also read Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix while ago and I would have to say that one was better then the first book. I think that mainly because the fifth (the order of phoenix) book had more of a fantasy feeling then the first book. Since J.K. Rowling is very good and making a picture in you head of what is happening I like to read all of the action that happens through out the book and the fifth book as at least twice the action and mystery of the first book. Reading the first book felt weird because you heard so much talk about book and the movie then when you read it like 5 or 6 years later you already know what happens and almost everything about the book, or at least me and my group members did. Reading a book from the middle of the series with out reading any other book was at time a little confusing but this book was connected to the other books in the series but not in a way that you did not know that was going on. And that’s what I like about the series because you can read any book, I doesn’t have to be in order. I think for the future books that im going to read I want to see if I can get my other group members to read the other books in this series because they also enjoyed read this book.
