Documentary Opening Shot

2009-05-18T07:22:00.000-07:00

The problem is that people in the U.S aren't as much concern about teen pregnancy.The audience would see pregnant teens images .They would see certain teens girls regretting the mistake they made.We would present it by catching the people attention at the star of the documentary.I would conclude the documentary

Thesis of my documentary

2009-05-08T06:25:00.000-07:00

The issue I am adressing is teen pregnancy.The message is for teens to stop getting pregnant because after that happen it is going to change/mark their whole life.For ex, after they have a kid they go to drop out of school,then after time past they have to start working in a job where they are going to be killing their self for such a small amount of money( just because they didn't went to college).Besides maybe the father would feel he has other responsibilities and he would leave the girl alone. Also sometimes their mother have some dramatic reactions and leave their daughters alone in that painful moment(kick the out the house).So the message is to think ahead before doing things.

social issues teen pregnancy

2009-05-05T09:35:00.000-07:00

A issue that I think is very interesting is teen pregnancy.This issue is seen everywhere.Besides there would be many difficult consequences after the baby is born.Maybe the mom family won't have enough money,she have to drop out and maybe even be in risk to loose her live just because she might be to young to have a child.I think that there should be a solution for this issue that isn't just abortion.I also believe that when this teen girls get pregnant their mom shouldn't kick them out of the house because its the moment that the girl would mostly need them....

This book is about a teen name Anne Frank and her experience while hiding in a secret attic.She had a diary in were she wrote everything that happen to her and which mostly effected her own life .She also wrote events about people who surrounded her.
I really don't know anyone who is passing through the same situation as any character in the book.I believe that those characters lives have many differences and similarities from me .Two differences are that they were mostly in the old times when there was a holocaust and the victims had to choose between going to concentration camp, die, or hide.Two similarities are that there were also many people that maybe though the way I would such as Anne father ,when he decided to go undercover so he and his family would be a little more safe.Also I could compare Anne to many people in this world , because she was a normal teen that was a little curious about things,wanted to know what was happening, and liked to be hanging out with her friends and got to parties (before going under cover).
One of the saddest part of the story was when Anne was describing how many of her friends were taken away by the dozen,by Nazis.While I read that part I felt as if she also felt that they were going though.Also I think one of the happiest part was when she had her boy friend at first when she was like kind of shy and a little strick.
I think I could recommend this book a little because it talks about a girl experience while hiding and it could be very interesting to many people by the reason its nonfiction.The other part I don't recommend it is because sometimes in the book Anne doesn't keep you so interest in the story and also at the end some people would have liked to read about what really happen to her in the camp and it was also really sad in some parts.

If Anne Frank was alive today she would have Had more fun in her teen live.Maybe she would goto more parties and
Enjoy her live more.Also she would have Maybe even been a little wild/disrespectful girl.I think this because in day now there are kid who don't act like people because they don't get the education needed.I also think that she wasn't even going to be famous because the one that have her fame was her diary and only because it was a very historical moment.

So far now I read that they are trying to take her sister,Margot,away.Anne was really upset about it but then her her mom said it wasn't doing to happen.Besides now they are starting to get prepare to move to their hiding place.Anne is very anxious because so many question are popping into her head ,which she can't ask.She is also anxious to see where she is moving ,maybe a house or country en etc.I really don't have predictions for now because I already saw the movie.

The image above represent Anne and her Family.Here you could see how close they were.

Discuss whether you agree or disagree with a decision a character makes – would you do the same thing, or something different?

Well so far from the book my favorite character is Anne Frank because she s the main thing of the book following by Peter because I notice that they are starting to have something and its going to be very interesting .
I notice that Anne Frank is just a normal teen that love to have fun.Right now she is going out with a boy named harry and she just ask freaky and funny like a girl .I can compare this to the days now because now teens go wild and etc in parties but in the old days they used to be less hypher.
My opinion is that Anne is going to give many changes during the war.I believe that there are really going to be many obstacles facing her.
I think before if you judge her you would say that she was a popular girl but through out the book you notice that she was a girl that love to have fun but she really didn't have that much real friends.
So far I don't really agree or disagree with any decision that Anne take because I haven't gone far out through the book

So far in the book I think that Anne Frank is just a normal teen that love boys and to gave fun.
From this 5 pages I notice that, she is writing how she feel about the descrimination to jewish people.Such as, they can not go to same school, ride bikes,drive,go hopping anytime, or even visit theater or other entertainment places.

Bronx masquerade

Chankara is girl that doesn't not want to be like any one else.As she sees the reflection of her sister in her mirror she knows that she ave to end what is happening.Chankara is a perseverant and strong because at least she stood up to the boy and didn't let him take advantage of her.I could connect this to a soap opera that I like to see every day Name"Lo que callamos la mujeres" which is the the things that the womens keep in silence.There many women in the real world let others take advantage of them but there is a time when they can't take it anymore and they just say rush the police.Most of the time that is really painful because they believe that the person is going to do injure them out then everything just turn out right.I believe that Chankara feel embarassed about what just happen.

He talks about exhaution by the way he reads the poem.I could connect it to some other people I know because something they just think they are gonna die because they feel so tired.I know because the way they express their selves.

Change

I could infered that she is tired of people been racist to her by way she express herself.I believe that perseverant and determined are 2 words that describe this poet because I see she is mad while writing this poem but she still believe that thing could be better .Besides one thing I really noticed was that she kept on saying that you could do what you believe but still there are things that would never change.I could conect this poem to the real world and other poems because this have happen to many people and the poets try to get their points through by writing them in poetry.

For the last few years people died for us to be free,
just for there to be change
but now what we see is country wars,criasis,and less jobs
although there is not some good advantages
we got a new african american president that could help us look foward so,
we still believe in hope

we believe in hope
just as how Martin Luther King believe that racism should stop
we believe in hope
just as how Obama believe in change
we believe in hope

If we work hard to get what we want ,
we see a path full of light
and full of hope

2009-01-23T06:48:00.000-08:00

"Praise Song for the day" means giving thanks for these people such a Martin Luther king for ding for us and Obama for giving us hope.This poem makes me feel hopeful for ex,when it says"I know there’s something better down the road.We need to find a place where we are safe.We walk into that which we cannot yet see."It explains me that now we are gaving change because there is a need president that would be gadered as history and also now we don't know what is going to happen with the country.

"Themes in To Kill a Mockingbird"

2008-12-22T06:43:00.000-08:00

The mayor themes in "To Kill a Mockingbird are anger, rasing, teasing,influasion, admiration, and love.The author Harper Lee reveal the theme by showing and describing it in each character. I think that the lesson characters will learn is to notjust people by how they look just as the pharse "Dont judge a book by its cover"because in the book everyone maybe knows that Tom is innocent but just because he is a black men they want him to suffer.Then there come other people that don't want to be out of the group and choose to do what most of the others are doing.I also think that this is the lesson the author is trying to teach us.

E.L.A text prep action plan

2008-12-15T06:30:00.000-08:00

My goals for the text prep are to do acuity practice at home and to read at least 20 minutes each day.My goal for this year is to concentrate more, use time in a useful way,and get a 3 in the E.L.A exam this year.I think that is I really ,really need to work very had do achieve my goals.I also think I could do better if I work harder in school.I also think that if certain people in the classroom be quiet I would be able to do better.According to the reading I want to understand the stories more while reading in a short amount of time.I believe that I would advance more because here there are teachers and other people that are always there to help me and I am willing to do it.

In this E.L.A unit I was accomplish many goals.I think that now i have learn to think about what is happening in the story while i am reading.I am also reading a book class named To Kill a Mokinbird I think I am really understanding it.My goal for this year is to read faster,not waste time, consentrate more ,and get a 3 in the E.L.A exam.I think that reading an writing is important for my future because i am going to use it in my whole live such when i go to the bank and get my check and go to the store to buy myself cute things.I also think that technology helps me in class because I am learning more and things that are all over the world(which are important).

Listening Passage Mona Lisa

2008-11-24T07:32:00.000-08:00

The theory that could possibly be true is that the Mona Lisa was a self-portrait of Leonardo Da' Vinci. For example, according to the story it said that a man using a computer found out that Mona Lisa was identical to Leonardo,which means that he made a self-portrait of himself as a woman.I think that the other choice are less possible to be true because if the portrait was so famous back then,and the woman really exist people would have seen her.

Do people ever really change?Use example from your reading and experience to support your answer.

Yes I think that many people give a change in a certain time/siscortance.It could be a really small specific moment that took a big place in their life and made them change or it could be that you still don't know a person and then you start knowing them better or even sometimes that person could be giving innocent changes without knowing.For ex, when I was little I use to have a classmate and she was a brilliat girl in class, the person that always have her friend a hand, help her family in the house and got good grades, then she noticed that many people started liking her,so she though that she was popular.Time past and she started giving changes,she always though she was the best,and that she was the smartest,she made horrible rumors about people she didn't like in her school,and she disrespect her parents infront of her hole class.i could infer that it was maybe people that made her change because they always use to be treating her like Ms.perfect and she got carried away.

Eection Reflection

2008-11-05T08:57:00.000-08:00

The thing that made this election historic is that this have being the first African American to be elected for president.For me Obama means change because he is a man that wants to help the country succeed.My feelings today about the country is that we are going to achieve or goals with the new president.More over to me Obama is a man that doesn't just tries to get people to vote for him butt,he also tries to be honest and show respect for everyone decisions.For the next 4 years I think Obama is going to hep our country walk forward.I think he is going to help us progress in th economic and with the law of no child left behind.The issue that I hope he first takes care of is the economic because that is the most important issue I thing is going on right now.Also i think that with the war h is not going to help to much because he said that he is going to let the war continue for 5 years to see what happen, however he is just going to be president for a year, unless in the next election they vote for him to be president again.

revenge of the wannables

Well Massie have found out that Alicia have being making her own sleepover. The next day they had a fight ,after that Alicia choose to go on her own path and be herself not Worring so much of Massie(like how she use to sometimes envy her)Alicia is now with her best friend Olivia and they are about to get famous.Alica and Olivia really in to her program of teen-people but the problem is that many people are jealous of her and they want her to suffer.I could infer that Massie is going to be the antagonist really soon because she is starting to be nasty to Alicia and they use to be bf.now i could say that Alicia self-steem is going higher because she is doing what she believe in and not just what people want her to do.i could predict that in the future alicia x-best friends are going to be her obstacles because they are starting to make Alicia and people nae her bad.They go to Alicia parties goes to make fun other and her fans. getting in Alicia shoes I would just do what she is doing ingoring them and doing what I believe.
