I MOVIE

Using I-Movie is FUN. The fun part about I-MOVIE was putting music and also adding stuff.Yesterday my class was laughing .They said that it was funny. After showing my video to the class I thought we should of put more pictures. I should of also put subtitles under the pictures.
I thought the other videos was fun to watch.I think Angel,Alhaji,Josue.. group was the best video because they use real characters. I would say to other peoples who dont know how to use I-MOVIE to try there best. Yes I think that they would understand before reading the book because the video shows parts of the book.

You have several weeks to make your film incredible. How do you plan to improve your film?
For the I-MOVIE I would put more interesting picture. And also record more.

MONSTER

I think racism still exist .I think that because i still see white act racism. I truly think that white still think that black are slaves.Racim exist when you want to play with other peoples and they said No because your race .I don't think so.

I still think that Racism still exist. Can a minority get a fair trial? Why or why not? Do you think Steve Harmon will get a fair trial? Why? Why Not? How do you think O'Brien feels about the Jury they selected for Steve's trail?

Why do you feel some people think that our country's court systems are racist? Why do you feel there are more black men in jail than college?

Hyperbole .

One of my hyperbole is "Your dog is so so so stupid he doesn't know who's his owner. I think peoples use hyperboles to exagerate on what they said. They also use hyperboles to show the feelings that he or she is talking. The hyperbole I use daily is your taking more then 100 minutes in the showers because in the mourning my sister takes for ever in the shower. My favorite figurative language is IDIOMS. Idioms is my favorite because your exagerating .

Today ,in class i learned that idioms is an expression that has a meaning apart from the meanings of its individual words.Peoples use idioms to exaggerate what they say.The most idioms I use daily was mostly easy as pie. Easy as pie means that its easy to do something. Also, I use is raining Cats and Dogs .That means its raining a lot.

The Zoo

I went to the zoo
It smelled like an old shoe
And i felt so blue

The Math Test

The Math Test part 1 was kind of easy but when it got after number 19 is got harder. Multiple Choice questions. I found number 19 the hardest because the question was about mass and volume.Part 2 was hard. It was harder then the First test. It was diffucult because you also had to write a responce. The part that was easy was to answer the questions.But not the responces. I think I did ok in the test.It took me less then an hour to finish the test.I went over in each question.

Paragraph 2: I think I did ok.But then I have a feeling that I could do better in the test.The most diffucult part was to in dentify the similes,metaphor,Onamanapea, I felt kind of nervous because i forget things real quick. I think my grade would be lower then a 80 but less then a 70. I dont think im prepared but I could start studying.

Onamanapea and Cinqain

( Splash) water coming out of the pool.
Painting the pool in art school
Every body Splashing
Cameras Flashing
Next stop is following the rules.

Best Friends
Are nice people
They always share something
Best friends is like ocean needs water
Besties

Limerick Poem

I know a boy
Who plays with toys
He is very pleasing
But he is always sneezing
And he lives in the capital of Illinois

The Bronx Masquerade

The book Im reading in class is called "The Bronx Masquerade". The book is about teenagers expressing their feelings by writing poems. They also have an activity in school called "Open Mike " and they share there poems. While, other teens see other peoples poem they get to know peoples a little bit more. I met a lot of characters so far in the story.So far I have met 13 characters so far.I like about the book is that there express their feelings in there poems. And i like how the teens act so far. I dislike how the boys really treat girls in the book. I really cant relate to non of the characters bu.

I really don't have nothing in common. Th character that I like the most is Diondra because she follows her own decision because her father dont want her to paint but she wants to keep on painting. Diondra follows her decision. I could relate to Diondra so much.

I relate the least with Tyrone because hes a boy and he mean. He's always have to say something about someone. If I could make a character I would a put a mean girl that has an attitude and think she all that. To see how the other character would react.

Metahphors and Similies

Similes

Similies

Similie

My Bull

My bull is white the silver fish in the river,

My Bull is the shimmering crane bird on the riverbank,

My Bull is white fresh milk!

His roar is thunder to the Turkish cannon on the steep shore.

My bull is dark is the rain cloud in a storm.

He is the summer and winter.

Half of him is dark the storm cloud

Half of him is light the sunshine.

His back shines the morning star.

His brow is red the back of a hornbill.

His forehead is a flag, calling the people from a distance.

He resembles the rainbow.

I will water him at the river,

With my spear I shall drive my enemies.

Let them water their herds at the well;

The river belongs to me and my bull.

Drink, my bull, form the river; I am here to guard you with my spear.

Black History Poems

Racism is bad
it makes me sad
Slaves going everywhere
anywhere they can
K K K's coming everyday
Thinking they rule everything
But that's not OK.
They never come alone
Because they scared
but I don't care
because in my mind there not there

Diary Entry Chapter 14

O2/O2/O9

Dear Diary,

Ms.Addot made me stand up naked in front of everybody.I think she did that just because i wet the bed. It was by accident. I never knew I did it. I wonder how that happen. When they told me I was going to Jail I was shocked. I thought about what Ronny told me about his life. I told Kevin to go away because if I leave who else would he play with. And I would keep loosing the people I like and love. I felt that Ronny was at this home fo a very long time because he wanted to fight me. And i didnt do nothing to him. I dont know why Ronny wanted to fight me i guess he beats up every knew kid.

Sincerely,
Jennings
