Why did it have to end so fast? 😭

It’s 1:35pm I’m rushing to get to my next class. Time is ticking we are 1/4 way through the quarter and I still can’t figure out how to open the classroom door or the secret identity of my ELA teacher. (I’m being sarcastic ). Is she an alien from outerspace? Or is she spongebob  that lives in a pineapple under the sea? No! She is a HUMAN, not spongebob.. Or is she? Oh we will never know!

Anyway I am way off topic... I’m kind of used to 8th grade but I have my classes schedule memorized which is a good thing. I feel like quarter one wasn’t my best and in quarter 2 I am definitely trying even more to just get 3’s and 4’s and kick the butt’s out of those 1’s and 2’s! This quarter I got about 7 2’s which is terrible! I asked my teachers if they could help me through quarter 2 to try to get to my goal. I asked them to correct me if I’m wrong. To tell me if I participate enough or what I still need to achieve. If I want to get to a nice high school I need to work harder. I do not want to end up in Morton the most horrible high school ever. They don’t even have air conditioning! To get into Fenwick you need to pass a really long test about 2-3 hours and in between you get 1 hour to take a break and eat. They mostly look at the test more than your report card but at the end they do end up looking at it.

Connections to the Outsiders

I read “Healing Brick a City” In the article “Healing Brick City” it states “I looked up at the board, and ‘Don Moses’ [was] written on the board in the trauma room. I’m like, ‘Wow, I know that name,” and right below was written the word ‘deceased.’ So, I’m sitting in there, looking at the board and thinking, ‘What are the chances that this is the Don Moses that I know?’ And unfortunately, I sprinted down to the surgical ICU3 and his body was taken away, but his family was there. It was the Don Moses that I knew from childhood.” The connection to the Outsiders is that one of Pony boys beloved friend dies (Johnny) in the hospital. This also happened to Sampson Davis. When he was working he saw his close friend on the board which means he died and was at the hospital.

The next connection I saw was “Snake and I was a part of a team that committed an armed robbery when I was 17 1/2. And I often say 17 1/2 because had I been 18, my story would have been written differently. But it was that life experience that changed me around. I was sentenced to two years’ probation.” The outsiders are based on almost Greasers. Greasers are kind of like a gang which they fight and rob just like what Sampson Davis did when he was younger. Dally was in prison for stealing, stealing, and drinking somewhat like Sampson and his friend Don Moses which he was sentenced two years probation.

Then the passage states again “When you look at mental illness, in the inner city community particularly, it’s taboo. It’s almost like, ‘I can’t say to another person that I’m depressed, because it destroys, especially as a man talking to another man, it destroys the ‘man code,’ if you will.” This connects to the Outsiders because when Johnny was in the Hospital almost dying Ponyboy gets so depressed and sick because he is scared Johnny is going to die. After Johnny dies Ponyboy is even more depressed because Johnny was his closest friend and now he doesn’t have the courage to do things but he still fights in the big rumble. The movie is somewhat similar and different to the book.

Battle of the Books and Movies

 

The outsiders book and the movie both have similarities and differences. One of the similarities between the book and the movie is one of the scenes in the movie was when Cherry and the boys were walking then the car pulls up. Cherry says that she doesn't want to fights and that she hates fighting. Next, in another scene Both Johnny and Ponyboy fall asleep in the park. Then Johnny and Ponyboy run away from Dally because Dally hit Ponyboy. These are the similarities between the book and the movie.

The differences between the book and the movie is that the movie was shortened up and the setting was a faster plot than the book. The movie was a shortened version since the regular movie is like three hours but the one we saw was one hour. The next difference is when they don’t show when Johnny got beat up in the beginning In the movie but they did show it in the book. These are the differences between the book and the movie.

I personally think that the movie is better than the book but then at the same I feel like they both are amazing. I myself like movies because you could actually see the characters and how they act and look like. These are the similarities and differences between the book and the movie.

I am 13 years old. My hobbies are baking but that's not all I do. I really LOVE dogs ALOT 🐶.

The Evolution of my future

                  I see myself as either a pastry chef or a veterinarian. I will be living in a house where there is room for my mom, dad, little brother, and maybe 2 extra rooms. I mean yeah my little brother wont be little anymore. The kitchen is going to be all nice and fixed up not like the one I have now for baking. The kitchen will be bigger not like the ones I have now. The rooms will be like 4x the size that they are now. All the rooms would be all modern not any bright colors like red, orange or yellow maybe like a beige sort of color.

                  I have three options I could choose from for my job. I want to be a pastry chef and while I am a pastry chef and I want to rescue dogs that are lost or stray dogs that need a home. I'm not  going to be a dog catcher because those people are mean! The other thing I have planned is to be a veterinarian and then help save dogs in my free time. The other option is to become a veterinarian but then bake and make a business where I sell my baked goods. My last option is to become a veterinarian and bake in my free time but also rescue dogs in my other free time when I get a call of some dog roaming around the town. I will be living on my own with 3 Pomeranian dogs and they would be puppies. I also would have a Maltese puppy.

Friends Fur-ever 🐶 or maybe not

                  One day about 5 years ago I woke up and it was about 7:30 in the morning and I was super tired. It wasn't a school day since we were on vacation. I made myself some blueberry pancakes 🥞🍯 for breakfast (yes I knew how to make pancakes at 8 years old). I was just eating there watching T.V when I heard a "woof". I didn't know what it was and I thought it came from outside at first. Then I heard it again... "woof!" But this time it wasn't coming from outside, It came from my brother's room. When I knocked he didn't let me in so I just asked him "Why do I hear a "woof"? He then said it was just a toy someone gave him. For some reason at that time I believed him and I went back to eating my pancakes. When I finished my pancakes 🥛 I drank some milk and then I wondered if it was really a toy that I heard. I went back to my brothers room which was right next to mine and I knocked then I opened his door. I immediately saw a dog come out. It was a white spaniel with light brown spots. I literally pet him so much that he layed down on me. After that I got a toy and started playing with him. I got along with her very much and I decided to name her Fifi.  About 2 years later my mom came in and gave me bad news. She said that she was having a baby! I wanted a little sister before I had a dog. I was just a little bit happy but when my mom told me that we had to GIVE away Fifi I cried. She said Fifi shed way too much and the dog fur would not be a good fit for a baby. I cried the whole time wishing I could keep her forever. When It was time to give her away I started crying all over again the whole day. When it was the next day I still missed her. I got over it after maybe about a YEAR later! After the years I still have wanted a dog even now. Even now I still remembered how she looked like after about 5 years now and I am STILL sad. I’ve been asking my mom for a another dog but the thing is my dad thinks that it’s too much work. We have been to an animal shelter and found really cute ones but my dad still doesn’t think we are ready. But.. we ARE really close to getting another one!
