WHAT IS , WHAT HAPPEN TO POEMS

What is money
is it something you spend
something you lend
or even borrow from a friend
how much can you have
how much can you spend
is a dollar worth a dollar

What happens to a car
when it runs to of gas
or gets in a crash
what about when you go over the speed limit
and  drive to fast
put it in park
or shift gears to drive
take off
in your brand new car

artwork reflection

     The artist that I have chose is Paul Klee. He was very talented he did not know what he wanted to be. One day he had to choose out of music and art. This was a very important time in his life because he was passionate about both of the two. At the end he obviously chose art. He was such an unusual artist at the time he painted things that other artist thought were weird. I found his art really interesting because it was unique and kind of loud. Its kind of like his painting had music in it.
    One painting that really caught my eye was the oil painting Paul Klee did. There was no white on this picture every inch of the canvas was covered with a color. I also like how he used lots of different colors and combined them into one image.Then he played with shapes in his image.It looked like he put shapes together to make one head.
   

READING RESPONSE

 In my book "The Pool" strange things happen at this "hotel". The workers got an letter in the mail from a hotel they never heard of accepting them to work there.When they got there they were told there was no manger, they started questioning how are there workers with no managers? Wait that's not only the strange thing that happen people started dying or being seriously injured. Chemicals were thrown in people face, diving boards were breaking , people were being sucked down the drain and killed. The workers started thinking about the weird things that were happening and they found the reason behind it. It was a skeleton haunting the hotel and she wanted people to suffer the way she did when she was killed at a pool party.

reflection to the hoopster

    The book "The Hoopster" is about a boy named Andre. Andre     must manage school,work,and he likes to play pick up basketball games.

  When reading "The Hoopster" I observed how Andre boss was kind of trying to force him to write about racism. Andres boss main focus looked like he wanted to get Andre to write about slavery and nothing else. Andre had to tell him a million reasons why he cant write about racism. He feels like it doesn't affect him and he cant write about nothing he doesn't have emotion for. I feel like what Andre did was right because he stood up for something he didn't want to do. He kind of took action because if his boss wanted to he could have fired him for not listening.  

       This is one thing i noticed while reading "The Hoopster". One thing i learned is to stand up for your self.

READING RESPONSE

The book i am reading now is called "The Scariest Stories You've Ever Heard" its a horror book.The book is about an old myth about an abandoned house. People basically sat around a campfire and told the story about this haunted house.The group of teens did not believe it they wanted to see it for there self (like idiots).The night they went to the house they started seeing funny shadows and wolves running around the house.They started to become scared when they started dis-appearing one by one. 

PICTURE BOOK TOPIC

My picture book will be focused on the topic of sharing. How during your grade school days you should share even when you grow up. One example is how drivers have to share the road with bikers.

SOCIAL AWARENESS pt.3

Jamie Hubley, a gay 15-year-old from Ottawa, Canada, committed suicide on Friday.

The 10th grade student documented his life, including his depression and the hardships of being a gay teen, in a blog, reports the Ottawa Citizen.

The blog, called "You Can't Break... When You're Already Broken" featured posts with numerous references to and photos of self harm and cutting, pictures of guys kissing and mentions of wanting a boyfriend, and bleak, ominous messages like "Sometimes I wish the breeze would just take me with it," "The only thing worse than being hated is being ignored. At least when they hate you they treat you like you exist," and "Suicides is always an option."

Other posts revealed how difficult school was for Hubley:

"I hate being the only open gay guy in my school… It f***ing sucks, I really want to end it. Like all of it, I not getting better theres 3 more years of highschool left, Iv been on 4 different anti -depressants, none of them worked. I’v been depressed since january, How f***ing long is this going to last. People said “It gets better”. Its f***ing bull****. I go to see psychologist, What the f*** are they suppost to f***ing do? All I do is talk about problems, it doesnt make them dissapear?? I give up."

His last post, which he wrote on Friday, paints a heartbreaking portrait of a boy looking for -- and ultimately unable to find -- acceptance:

Im a casualty of love.

Well, Im tired of life really. Its so hard, Im sorry, I cant take it anymore.

First Id like to mention my friends Nancy, Abby, Colleen, jemma, and Kasia

Being sad is sad : /. I’v been like this for way to long. I cant stand school, I cant stand earth, I cant stand society, I cant stand the scars on my arms, I cant f***ing stand any f***ing thing.

I dont want my parents to think this is their fault either… I love my mom and dad : ) Its just too hard. I dont want to wait 3 more years, this hurts too much. How do you even know It will get better? Its not.

I hit rock f***ing bottom, fell through a crack, now im stuck.

My favorite singers were lady gaga , Adele , Katy perry, and Jessie james, Christina aguilara and most of all I think KASIA!!! I LOVED Singing, and she helped me a lot : ) Im not that good at it though :”/, Im going to miss you guys(well You know who you are, But to the people who didnt like me (many) A big f*** you, Go ride a unicorn. But w/e I love you anyway.)

Remember me as a Unicorn :3 x) MAybe in my next life Il be a flying squirreel :D

Il fly away.

"From the outside, he looked like the happiest kid. He was always smiling and giving everybody hugs in the halls,” said Steph Wheeler, a close friend of Hubley's.

"I just remember him wanting a boyfriend so bad, he’d always ask me to find a boy for him. I think he wanted someone to love him for who he was,” she said.

A Facebook page dedicated to Hubley has been set up and students are planning a memorial performance in his honor.

Hubley's death comes just weeks after American teen Jamey Rodemeyer committed suicide after being bullied for being gay.

While many, including Lady Gaga who has called for bullying to be made illegal and Dan Savage who began the It Gets Better campaign, are working to help gay teens, sadly, it's obvious there remains much work to be done.

Update on October 18 at 8:54am ET: Hubley's father, Ottawa city councillor Allan Hubley,released a statement last night saying that his son was bullied in school and that his family believes it was a factor in his suicide. Discussing a "Rainbow Club" that Jamie tried to start at his high school to promote acceptance of others, Allan Hubley said:

"The posters were torn down and he was called vicious names in the hallways and online... We will not say that the bullying was the only reason for James's decision to take his own life but it was definitely a factor...We hope from our tragedy others will become more active in stopping this cruelty towards children."

 This article really showed a case of what bullying can lead to.Some people need to understand that everybody is equal and should not be judge differently because of there sexual orientation.Some people just do it for fun but don't know that it can hurt some one deep down.I can make bullying into a a picture book by showing two of the same animals not getting along because one have a longer tail.
