My Favorite Song

2009-04-02T12:39:00.000-07:00

My favorite song would be "Call You Tonight"by Johnta Austin because it sorta relates to me and my girlfriend, and it kinda does speak to me like when I'm listening to the song it relaxes me if I'm stressed or in a bad mood. I find this song special to me because I like r&b and it relates to me.

My Favorite Movie

2009-03-20T12:34:00.000-07:00

My favorite movie would have to be Stomp the Yard only because it's funny and interesting movie, but I also like it because throughout the whole movie they play alot of music. The movie is pretty much about how this kid kept getting in trouble so his grandparents sent him to his cousins house in Atlanta. From there he started going to college and joined this fraternity called the "Theta Nu".This movie is a good movie but at the beginning it's sad because his cousin died from a member of the other Fraternity kills him because they havent been beat in years and Theta Nu beat them at this stepping competition.

Freedom

2009-03-18T12:32:00.000-07:00

My definition of freedom would be less rules and laws, but I see now that as you grow up laws narrow down and it's the same with rules by your parents. I think freedom means that as long as you stay out of trouble and jail or probation you have freedom. For example, if I was on probation and got sent jail all my freedom would be gone.

Who you would be for one day and Why.

2009-03-13T12:24:00.000-07:00

Who I would be for a day and why?I would be some famous singer only because I would want to see what it's like to live their life and do what they do in their everyday life. I think it would be a fun experience to be famous for a day, to do concerts and to travel everywhere around the world singing music for fans and having paparazzi take pictures of your every move. I find celebrities lives amazing because you get everything you want and you live in huge houses with your dream car you've been wanting ever since you were a little kid.

My Opinion on Barbie Dolls

2009-03-11T12:30:00.000-07:00

What is your opinion on Barbie dolls? Are they good or bad for children?why?

I think in my own opinion that Barbie dolls are good because they higher a girls self- esteem.Also children like to play with Barbies because you can do different things to it kinda like giving a makeover, but not worried because it's just a doll. They always find it fun; it's something to keep them entertained. I think as long as little boys don't play with them I find Barbie dolls ok.

Gangs

2009-02-25T12:26:00.000-08:00

I believe that drugs and violence within gangs is one of the worst things that I know about. Hearing all about these killings is really hard, especially when innocent people are involved.In my opinion, I would have to say that we should do something to stop gangs and violence. I believe there are always ways to do that, like Rapper T.I has a show on MTV to help kids around the world stop gang violence and to help them do better for themselves .He personally takes them around showing them how they will end up dead or in prison if they don't stop gang banging .I think we need more people like this to stop this gang violence .

"Anger is rooted in Fear,Fear is overcome by Knowledge"

2009-02-13T12:30:00.000-08:00

"Anger is rooted in Fear,Fear is overcome by Knowledge"

How does this saying apply to Cole & Peter's situation?

I think this saying apply's to Cole & Peter's situation because peter is angry at Cole since he beat him up & now peter is now angry at Cole makes him fear Cole. Peter could overcome that fear by knowing Cole won't beat him up again or Giving cole one more chance to prove himself.

Questions About Cole

2009-02-02T12:42:00.000-08:00

1.What do other people in the book think about Cole? other people in the book think hes a trouble maker, and just not a good person except for Edwin and Garvey they see him as a good person that can change his ways. Their just trying to make him see that not everybody in the world is bad or mean, and That he doesn't need to hurt people.

2.How does Cole feel about himself? He feels that he can change and not be mean to him or others. But its harder for him to change because hes been that way for so long and hes not use to people being nice to him, and He doesn't care if people believe him or not anymore.

3.What Do you think/feel about Cole? I think Cole needs guidance to help him follow the right path so he wont be the mean and hateful kid he is. That's what Edwin and Garvey are their for, Because that was them once and if they can be helped so can Cole.
