POVERTY
June 2,2009
The little babies keep on getting sick because there is no food and it is cold and they do not have proper shelter. I WOULD DO EVERYTHING THAT I CAN IF I WAS THOSE KIDS MOTHER I WOULD CUDDLE WITH THEM AND MAKE THEM WARM. WHEN I SAY ANYTHING I MEAN EVERYTHING. She kept on having kids. He would not stop drinking,
You do everything that is possible to take care of your children. I think money can help the family they already have love. I also think no more sex will help the family. Yes because no one wants to help.
How is the poverty in America different from the Poverty shown in Angela's Ashes? What advice would you give to this family?
My advice it no more sex and do everything you can to take care of those kids.

June 1,2009
It was actually fun working in a group because I was working with my friends and they played a lot but we seemed to get our work done. The best part of working in a group was that we had fun but got all of our work done. The best part of the project was that is was a movie and I am good on being on the camera. The worst part was when the voice of the movie kept on going away but I hope to do a movie again.

Some things I enjoyed on Career day is that I got to meet a food producer. I never thought I would meet someone like that. I think I am more interested in being a food producer because I love food and it seems like fun. I don't know I am satisfied with anything that is fun.

IMOVIE
I feel good. I feel good because it is fun and a cool way we can express our self. The best part about working with a group isawesome because we work hard and have fun at the some time. When My group and I put up our video in class my class mates made a cool reaction they began to laugh and it was very enjoyable. They gave us great feedback all they really said was we need to fill in some blank parts. Well we were going to fill in the blank spots and make some people in the groups voice louder and that was about it.
I felt like two of them where boring and had no life into it. I think they needed more detail and more focus with less fun. I think my video was the best because I know that my group had a lot ofenergy and we put a lot of effort and we was being our selves. I enjoyed mine the most because it really made me laugh and I don't really laugh at my self. My advice to everyone is to just be your self don;t try to change and you video will be like an every day thing to you just add a few adjustments. I think that if some one never read the book monster they would have complete over standing of the book. I will just add a few adjustments.

Is Steve Harmon Guily of Innocent
Marijo Alves
May 5,2009
I think that Steve Harmon is innocent. I think the reason why he is locked up because he wanted to be bad like the other guys and make people terrified of him , He was maybe able to get what ever he wanted just by being with these friends. Steve Harmon to me had nothing to do with crime, Like I said he was with the wrong crew, And the ended up getting him in trouble. I don't think that Steve Harmon knows Bobo I think that is Kings friend being that King and Steve were friends and Bobo and King made it seem like that they knew each other. But other from that I think that Bobo and Steve doesn't know each other. I THINK THAT STEVE IS WITH PEOPLE LIKE KING AND OLSAVDO BECAUSE HE WANTED PEOPLE TO BE SCARED OF HIM OR WANTED MORE RESPECT.
Steve was influenced by some bad guys. Maybe Steve was not getting enough attention. I really don't think that he should have been with those boys because the way how his mother was so curious about the day he was going away it sounded like she cares and it all so sounds like she is the only one who believes that he is not guilty.
Steve Harmon had some bad advice and he took the chance to be a bad boy. That is why people say think before you act because Steve Harmon made a terrible chose and now he is a terrible place.

But have I have ever experienced prejudice yes I have because once in fifth grade I have been sitting in my class room and well I knew a boy named Kymani he was being Prejudice he was black and told me that he does not like black people. I was angry but I wouldn't do anything about it because it is funny tht someone says that. I feel like I have over come a lot of things ever since that day happen.
I the book monster in the trial with Steve was not fair because he is black and young... so of course he is in trouble and up for being killed or staying in jail for life.

Name Calling!

I think that people should not call people names because it causes people to think bad about them selves. But I do think that it was some of his friends because he did not pick his friends wisely. If he had more sense to not be there then I think he would of made it alive.
When you call people named it affects them and makes them feel wrong about them selves. I know sometimes people might get annoying and get you angry but people bully because they might be living a bad life or feel bad about them selves.
I over stand that a lot of people yes a lot of people take suicide on them selves. Then when they die the person that was teasing them now feels sorry for them and wish it can be undone. So here is my advice think be for you acted because it is not good to talk about people or call them names. CHOOSE YOU FRIENDS WISELY AND DON'T TEASE ANY ONE; DON'T SAY THINGS WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO END UP APOLOGISING.

Proportions
Aim: How do we solve proportions by using cross products?
In class I have been learning about proportions to find the answer we had to cross multiply. That way was better and not that confusing, Cross multiplying is easier for me because it makes tings more organized and easier for you to solve.
2 x
-- = ---
3 12 ; 2x = 36; x = 18.
There is a lot of things wrong with this. First of all the problem is disorganized. First she needs to cross multiply. 12 x 2= 24 so your problem should now look like this. 3x = 24 no you do inverse operation instead of multiplying you do the opposite divide. 24/3 equals 8 so x equals 8.
If you don't understand here is another problem for you.
6:45 and 2:15 are ratios but you can make them into fractions.
6 2
--- = ---
45 15
now we are going to find out weather this is proportional or not.
First you have to cross multiply. 15 x 6 =90
45 x 2 = 90 theses are equal, So yes these ratios are proportional.

HYPERBOLE
Today is class we learned about hyperbole it was fun. Hyperbole is exaggeration.
"Your dog is so old the devil said I don't have any space for her,
Your dog is so ugly god wanted his time back."
People use it to make things sound funny and they just over exaggerate. Everyday people use it like his feet is as big as a boat you know. I have learned these Metaphor
Simile
Alliteration
Onomatopoeia
Idiom
Figurative Language
But lets not forget about hyperbole and how fun it might be. My favorite is all I can say.

IDOMS
Today in class I learned about idoms it is a type of phrase you say for example an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth it does not means that you are looking at someones eye and another eye and touching a tooth and another tooth. It was kind of fun but I think I already knew that our phrases were real I mean I was not born yesterday.

A Persuasive Essay
I think that children should take physical health class and health class. Why? Children shall take physical health because it will help most children get in shape and then another thing is that children don't get enough time to play or to run around so they are always hype in class. I feel the more that they work out they will be more in shape and well not a lot of over weight children will have that many problems anymore. And when you get in class the children will be more satisfied with the fact that they had enough time to play and now it is time to learn. I know some kids won't take it as enough but at least you would have most of the class attention. Health class can help you know about sickness that you can prevent from happening, My father always told me that prevention is better than cure and I think he is right because one day one of these students might end up getting one of these sickness and because they were never took health class they will never know how do get rid of it or they might have a cure but still it is better to prevent your self from getting it than go through a lot of trouble just to get a cure.

T-mobile charges $34.99 a month for phone service. They also charge $0.48 per minute for long distance calls. If Joshua's bill was $64.75, how many minutes of long distance calls did she make?
Part A - Write an equation that can be used to solve the problem.
Equation: ________________________
Part B - Solve your equation and answer the question in a complete
sentence.
In this math problem I determined my answer by doing an equation and then I subtracted 34.99 from 64.79 then I divided 0.48 from the answer 29.76 and I got 62 that is how I got my answer.

Native Americans
I learned that Native Americans is a made up name for them. There was also a stories like the bird man who had big winds and he ate children. They even tried to take bulls. It was really cool, I didn't know much about the native Americans but now I have a better idea about the Native Americans. The Native Americans were not judged by there skin color or there hair to tell which nation they come from. Others would ask them. They also hunted for food. That is some of the things that I remembered.

Hi I am a young lady with long black hair.

I don't know what to think
but maybe a wink
I am Mr.Cheeks and it is me who speaks.
She was happy to steal the show
But some one thought that they were better
so she throw water and the person got wetter
oh go Marijo Go
Hi I am Mr.Cheeks
sometimes my knees are weak
I don't know what to think
but maybe a wink
I am Mr.Cheeks and it is me who speaks.

Reflection on Bronx Masquerade
Marijo Alves
The book that I am reading is called Bronx Masquerade. The book is about student who has problems with the way they look and how there life is. In the book the students start to change they think more positive about there selves. So far in the book I met 12 charters. I like the fact that they are starting to think positive about themselves. I cannot relate to anyone.
The character that I like the most in the book is Tanisha because she likes when people look at someone on the inside and not the flesh on the outside. When I am at school all the boys ever talk about is this girl got a donk, They never look at some one on the inside and I know sometimes the girls who get called ugly I know that they just want you to look further beyond. I have a big problem with that because just hate judge mental people. This is a person vs.person
I relate to Lupe because she wants to have a baby at a young age. To me she is stupid because you are to young and you didn't go back to collage yet. The thing that I hate about her is she is stupid she doesn't listen to her self and she is not taking advise from someone who experienced it. The character that I will create is a girl and her name would be JayMary. She would be a positive thinker and missing something in her life but acts like she still has one. She is someone who focus on an early career and makes the right decisions in life. That is my character.

On My vaction I thought I would be borad but it was fine at first until things began to happen I kida went nuts I think. Friday: Yea Vaction times I thought as I came out from school, after all these boring days in school but then again it was not so boring. At first I was afriad to leave because I thought about the math test but it was not so much to worry about unless I don't work hard enough. Anyway I went home and chilled with my dad for a couple of minutes then I began to mess with my 2 year old baby brother he was not fun to play with any more because he bagan to watch blues clues. I got boared so I went in my bed room and began to play drums on a book I did not want to read it so I played drums on it just because I love to drum and rap music I love music.
Later that same day I went on the computer to listen to some rapping music written by Mr.Cheeks I love to rap so I get some tips off of his song lights camera action. After I wrote my rap I read it aloud to my mother as she sat in the coach she was tired she just came from work. I goes like this

Later that day after my crazy rap I decided to watch my favorite Jamaican dvd all day and perform for my mothers friends that was comming over they would be coming back valentines day to so no body misses any thing. The DVD was all about music and a little bit of Jamaican history it is called heart land reggae. Only one friend came over that friday then another they were disrupting my alone play time in the living room I was mad yea but that was not going to stop me from using a book as a guitar in frount of the tv and dancing. My mother found me to be a very energetic child and a young star.
Valentines day: All I did was play music it was cool reggae and lets not forget my favorite song written by Dream Rock'n that thang love it. It was fun I watch the same DVD and left without a word people applaused me I was a little upset because when I am home I do things that is funny to other people but is normal to my family. My mother went out to party which left me and my dad with my brothers and sisters in the house my dad was in the living room and my big sister Jamela and I went to go watch the movie "SHOTTA" it is an Jamaican movie with Bob Marley's son Kymani Marley. That was so much fun I fell asleep.
After Valentines day: I did the same thing for the rest of the days watch Heart land reggae and make blue berries muffin and bake cake my parents loved it so did I, I love to bake just not cookies. I had fun and thats my weekened.

Racism In Everday life
I guess I can say that racism in everyday life is sometimes when you walk next to an hispanic on the bus or stand next to them on the block they start speaking spanish to each other and then start laughing and when you leave they begin to smile and tease you as you walk. But I will say up to this day there will be no more of that people sit down and then blame the white people alone for racism just because well thanks to our half breathe president all of this is going to end.

The Similie and Metaphor Poem
February 12,2009
My bull is white a silver fish in the river,
My bull is white a silver fish in the river,
White, shimmering crane bird on the riverbank,
White fresh milk!
His roar is thunder to the Turkish cannon on the steep shore.
My bull is dark rain cloud in a storm.
He is summer and winter.
Half of him is a dark storm cloud
Half of him is the light 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.

What Dis Racism Mean
Yo, This poem slash rap is a crazy thing I mean just think of racism well if you feel that you are going through things that you believe that should end then do things it what you demand. I speak my mind no matter what but if you are to scared I don't blame you, you have to let the blacks who fought for us rise from the dead and help you out. That is how I believe.
Racism
February 11,2009
Man just to think of this pain racism is the last thing that remains
Thinking of the Whites and Blacks the word raciest feels like I am under attack
I look above at the clouds that the sun hides behind, I just want it to come out and shine
My brian is full, state of New York wanna listen to music and not treated like a dork
My hair is like wool being yanked but guess what I am not the losing skank
under ground the bell will ring Barrack Obama saves everything. You are tight, it's not over you say maybe it's not but for now things go my way.

February 9,2009 IT'S MY BIRTHDAY I AM 13 YEARS OLD
Today in Literacy class I learned about Jim Crow. It means segregation. I think white people had a better chance because they had all rights to do what ever they want. Malcolm X thought that it was not fair so he stood out against it. I don't blame Malcolm at all. Martin Luther King Jr. , Malcolm X, Shirley Chrisholm.
Langston Hughes is a man that wrote poitry about life with Jim Crow. Black people had no right and had no reapect and had to be brave but there was consiquences. The poem that I read in class today is merry go round. Yes people is better off no of days than those days we are happy that those days are finally over. Well working in places to make money and well using the bathrooms lets not forget using bathrooms.
No body likes Jim Crows but the evil white people. Hughes fought against it in poems because haha I know that he hates every little thing about it I do to I don't blame. Chisholm fought against it by trying to be the president and make a change. Malcolm fought vilonce by violince and I think I would of done the same. I don't think so because people would think that they are scared to speak out so what is the point of helping any way.
Where is the Jim Crow section
On this merry-go-round,
Mister, cuase I want to ride?
Down South where I come from
White and colored
Can't sit side by side.
Down South on the train
There's a Jim Crow car.
On the bus we're put in the back--
But there ain't no back
To a merry-go-round!
Where's the horse
For a kid that's black?

Malcom X
February 5,2009
Today in class we learned about Malcom X, Malcom X is a man who fought for human rights. He fought vilonce with vilonce. I can compare Malcom to Martin Luther King Jr. because they both fought for the same thing. I would say the diffence between the two is Martin fought in a more pieace full way but that didn't work. Malcom relized and fought fire with fire. The thing what I like about Malcom is he did not take the name that the slave master gave he used X for un known of stolen. I would of done the same thing I like Malcom X a lot.

How do we use spreadsheets to create graphs?

February 2,2009
AIM: How do we use spreadsheets to create graphs?
Hello my name is Marijo Alves and I am in class 702. Today in math class I learned how to use the internet to make graphs, I was able to see the difference between the graphs. We compares bar graphs to circle graphs and I think that bar graph was a better way to tell data because I can see the numbers and it is lined up in a better way. I don't think that line graphs is the proper way to tell data with this type of data because line graphs are for time that increase or decreases during time. For example, a plant you use a line graph to tell time for when it is growing. That is what I learn in Math Class Today! ($$$)

Dear Jennings
I have moved from home to home of the Angels to home to another orphanage. I feel lost sad and lonely. I saw my family and was happy to but my mother got sick again so we had gotten split up once again. When I got to the orphanage the new sister... Sister Barbara she was so mean and terrifying.
I met new friends but I had one specific friend and his name is Steve. He's a part timer just like me. His father beat him and promised him he won't hit him any more but he does. That is a main reason why Steve is here and is sad because of. I feel terrible for him but what can I do.

I feel lost because I miss Mark and I feel bad that I had to leave him. Kids want to see the outside world even Mark. To me if anyone was living my life they would feel hurt, especially with out your one and only mother.
