Hi my name is Colten. I am 16. I like dirtbiking in the country. I like to go horseback riding and playing the guitar and drums.
ReplyDeleteHey, my name is Kasondra. I'm 15 turning 16 in March. I like writing stories. I go horseback riding when I can. I also wear a lot of black.
ReplyDeleteHey Colten, I'm Kasondra. I'm 15 and in the 10 grade. I like writing stories and reading. I like to play some sports, like tennis. I sent one earlier and I'm sorry for posting another one which is kind of the same but, yeah.
ReplyDeleteHello :) Im Bethany. Ive always wanted to horseback riding! But Ive never gotten the chance. Do you have a lot of fun? I like to play LaCrosse, so i might join the club. The clubs I'm in are peer helpers and ABS. Which stands for association of business students.
ReplyDeleteHi, Colten. My name is Amanda Johnson. I am 16 also. I think dirtbiking is awesome, it so much fun. I lived in Colorado for a year and dirtbiking was amazing. They have a place called The Adobys. It's a big place with mountains of sand used for dirtbiking, ATVing, and climbing. It's a lot of fun. What else do you like to do?
ReplyDeleteSup Bethany R LaCross is prity sweet sport i played it one year in school its alot of fun. What do you do in this ABS thing?
ReplyDeleteSup Amanda J so you dirt bike ay? Can you do some cool stuff? I can only jump and do wheeles. So what do you think of the book so far? Do you like it or do you dislike it and why? I think it not bad its not my favorite book to read you should reed The Red Kayak its a prity good book.
ReplyDeleteHey Kasandra so you play tennis very good sport i keep missing the ball every time well not every time Im just not that good. I like basket ball and football I tried out for the school football team. I quit though.
ReplyDeletehey colton and kasondra. im 15 years old and i love to play football and baseball. on my time i like to hangout and watch movies. i live in kenosha wisconsin and i like it.
ReplyDeleteI live in Wisconsin, too. I go to Badlands sometimes with my brother. I like fourwheeling and dirtbiking is awesome. We used to have a dirtbike until my dad selled it for a camper. I love tennis. It makes my hitting arm stronger for when my friends are being weird. I play basketball sometimes in the summer but not much. I can't play sports for school 'cause I have a knee problem.
ReplyDeleteHey sup guys its Colten its Oct,26,09 what do you think of the social issues in the first three chapters of To Kill a MockingBird? I think its daring and a little negitive. I also think life was har for black people and even so white people. What do you guys think?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys think of Boo Radly, what do you think he's going to be like in this story. I think he's going to be some white sico that causes trouble for people and himself.
ReplyDeletehow would you guys discribe Boo Radly Oh by the way Its Colten again. I would discribe him as a seven foot white male that has mental issues and is also violent when it come's to family and family fewed's.
ReplyDeleteHey, It's Kasondra. I think the book is okay, not one of my favorites. Boo Radly sounds like a creepy guy but what do I know? Um... Boo Radly, in my mind, would be described as a six foot guy with a mental issues, which I agree with Colten, and that he has problems with his family. I'm only on chapter 4 because I missed three days of school last week and I'm a little behind. But I'll catch up! I'm a fast reader.
ReplyDeleteHey sup Kasandra thats perfectly ok if your only on chapter four tecnacly I am on chapter three. Thanks for your guys reply very good. What do you think of chapter seven I thought it was pritty funny when Dill lies about playing strip poker lol.Chapter five six and seven are ok whats your guyses opinion on it?
ReplyDeleteHey! Good job on your blogs you guys, I gave you a 2, 2, and a 3. You guys could try and expand on your own opinions about the story more and relate to your own life a little more, but other wise you guys are doing good.
ReplyDeleteColton try to spell words correctly and use capitals when needed! But still ok!
ReplyDeleteEvaluation
ReplyDeleteI gave you guys a 3, 2, and 3. You guys need to compare your lives a little to the story, but good job so far! keep up the good work!
In the story I think that Atticus's sister is Scout's enemy in the story. She is determined to get Scout into a dress, against her will.
ReplyDeleteI can relate beause, my mom wants me to go and water and feed the horses as well as clean my room.Aunt Alexandra is a real pain by the sounds of it, she seems to be a lady of upper upper class and very hoity toity.
Some of Scout's family member's have told her that she is a tomboy, and she should'nt be wearing overals and wearing dresses and start being lady like.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that in the story Aunt Alexandra, Atticus's sister, is one of Scout's main problems. I like your analogy comparing Scout's struggles to your own. I also could compare both of my parents to Aunt Alexandra because, at times, both of my parents boss me around and tell me what to do. I believe in the book Aunt Alexandra is trying to do what's best for Scout, but she does it in a harsh and rash way.

ReplyDeleteJem: he dose'nt play much with Scout, he eats lots he also told Atticusabout Dill being under the bed.
Colten: I dont play with my little brother as much, I stoped eating so much and started being more responsible
From Colten
I think the mocking bird symbolizes how humble Scout and the African Americans are in the story. i also think it is a symdole of equality.
ReplyDeleteHey, it's Kasondra. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. Medical problems. I'm on chapter 10 and it's hard to concentrate when your dizzy and have a splitting headache. I'll try and catch up but it will be awhile. I'm missing a lot of school, too. Please don't hate me. I'll catch up! Promise.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, I am Ashley from Ms. Johnson's honors class. You looked like you have been having some problems keeping up so i thought i might be able to help.
ReplyDeleteFocus 8 Expand:
Some of the major turning points in TKAM are:
1.When Scout started school because this is when Atticus first tells her about having to walk around in other people's skin before making judgements, and also it is when she starts most of her growing and maturing.
2.When Aunt Alexandra comes to live with the Finches. She introduces Scout to the ways of being a lady, and changes much about the way that the children behave and live.
3. The Tom Robinson trial is one of the biggest. It teaches the children about how not everything is fair, and it helps them do much personal emotional growing. It also is what turns the book in the direction it needs to be for the ending.
How about you guys? Any that you can think of?
