My most prized possession 3-28-12 wednesday

My most favorite and prized possession would be my awesome cat Piper. She is the best cat that i could have asked for. Piper likes to be playful and to snuggle. She can also hunt down lizards and birds! When ever I come home from school or any where, i always hear her silver bell jingling as she runs to greet me. Although she is sometimes vicious and angry, i still love her wether she claws open my face or not.  I have only known my kitten for 2 and a half years but she occupies a large part of my heart.

The most beautiful thing Monday 3-26-12

The most beautiful thing I've seen with my own eyes would be the stars when I went to Pali camp. It was way up heigh in the mountains, so there weren't any city lights to block out the beauty of the stars. It seemed like there were 20 million more stars up in the sky compared to in the city. We got to just lay out in the wilderness and admire the beauty. Overall, this was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Growing up 3-22-12 thursday

The best thing about moving up to middle school is that you don't feel as small anymore. When you said that you were in fourth or fifth grade, the general reaction to that would be that you were so cute and little. As you move into middle school you start to feel that you are more independent and less "cute". You can start doing more things alone with your friends. I think that the best thing about moving up to high school will be the different people and atmosphere. There are a lot more people to interact with and the campus is bigger due to the fact that they need to accommodate for all of the kids. Nonetheless, school is a wild ride!

Persuasion Friday 3-16-12

I'm pretty good at persuading people. Whenever I want something that someone says I can't do or have,I always give them logical reasons why I should get what I want. An example of this would be when I want to go to Starbucks after school. If my brother who picks me up doesn't want to go, I'll say that if he takes me I'll pay for him. This usually persuades him to take me and he ends up paying. Another tactic I use is bringing my good grades into the subject. For example, if I tell my dad that I got an A on a test, he'll be more likely to let me get my way. My last technique would be begging. This technique is not the best to use and often doesn't have a great outcome. But if it does run it's course well, I would be a happy camper. Overall there are times where I don't always get what I want, but when I put these tactics into effect I feel pretty confident in persuading people!

My life as a brand advertiser 3-14-12

My favorite company is anthropologie. Anthropologie has the most unique and charming clothes and products. Their products are very vintage and very classy. Another reason that I love this company is that there are so many different things in their store. You could go into the shop and see teacups and doorknobs where there is bedding and skirts. Lastly, everyone is very friendly and are always willing to help you. It is abig store and the employees are always greatful to help. Overall, this store is my all time favorite company.

Cheese is good when it doesn't have a strong aftertaste.Blue cheese has mold spores on it which makes it have a strong lingering taste.Also smoked Gouda has that SMS aftertaste from being smoked.When it has that taste in your mouth, it makes you want to run to the kitchen sink and wash out your mouth.Also most aged cheese have this effect.This aged taste enhances the natural flavor of the cheese. But if you aren't a fan of that "mature" taste, then you should stay far away from it. Although there are many gross types of cheese, there are still many delicious ones out there!

Character casting the outsiders Monday 3-12-12

Who I would cast:
Ponyboy- Nicholas used to grease his hair, and you can never really tell what he's thinking

Johnny-Tim because he's somewhat quiet and he is smaller.

Dally: Matt p.because he can be tough but he's still an overall goofball

Darry: my brother because he's really protective and always tells me to not make educational mistakes that he did

Sherri: shiva because she is caring and is very relatable but states her opinions when she wants to

Two-bit: Matt t. He's always joking and sees the lighter side of things

Soda: Ashyan because he's always happy ( except for the fact that ashyan is a great student)

Quickwrite 2-28-12 Tuesday Character Change

In the outsiders, Johnny changed from being soft spoken to being more confident in his thoughts and opinions. I know this because in the first couple of chapters, he's always defending Dally and is very quiet. But all of a sudden after he kills Bob, he starts to act more independent. After all it was his idea to turn himself in ; which if you were to hear this in the beginning of the book, you would think that he was a totally different character.
