Berlin memorial activity
I learned that Hitler was very disturbed. He made up rules just to soften the jews up like chicken. He was a mad man. I also learned that jewish people were not allowed to have jobs. They had curfew that must of been hard to deal with. Who deserves this kind of punishment???
The monument was built in remembrance of the laws made by Hitler. In one of the cards it said they couldn't listen to music. Who in their right mind does this to human people. Like this defies human nature. Also why did he put that monument there. I'm confused to why he made it. I know it means the law for music but why not other laws.
At the start of Hitler's reign of terror. He had made a handful amount of laws for the Jews. The next year after that he had slowed down and only made two. I think he did that to soften them up like chicken. Then the years after that he started making laws after laws. Even laws that didn't make sense, like in 1938 he made the most laws. He had made a law that Jews couldn't visit certain parts of Berlin. Also he had made a law saying Jews can't play in chess unions. After all that the war started and he made a law stating that jews had curfews. I don't know how jewish people could stand living there still.
Some things I would have problems with is not graduating and having someone dictate that I couldn't have a job. It would be so hard not to have a education in this world. Without a education you wouldn't know nothing. You would be clueless and and everything that happens around you , you wouldn't know the words for. Also it would be a problem if someone were to dictate my job because I don't want to work somewhere I know that won't comfort me and won't benefit me in a way. It would be hard living around that time. I respect what the Jews did to get through that or even if they died.

2nd Quarter Reflections
I think I progressed from the start of school until now because I was able to approve in different categories such as researching, being able to find quotes, and finding central ideas in different articles. I feel like I'm able to write paragraph’s way more fluently. The new skills I gained from this class helps me understand certain thing that others wouldn't be able to perceive such as different quotes and a certain writing that hides the meaning. I like how Im able to do such things that makes me a overall better writer and researcher.
Some strategies that have worked throughout the school year is T.I.Q.A. That strategy mainly helped in the first Quarter. It also helped in some parts of the second Quarter. It improved my writing and made it more organized and fluent. Another way that made my writing better was a strategy that I learned during our first Aow. It was organized in a way that it was able to show my central idea and be able to show all my evidence. But this was good to me and bad because I forgot all the strategies that I learned at my old school. This is not good because I want to be able to use a variety of strategies that will help me through high school and maybe college.
Areas that I made my biggest improvements on are IXL and Vocabulary. I mainly struggled in IXL because of laziness and not being able to have the resources I need. In vocab what I struggled with was being able to have time to study because at that time I was involved with a lot of sports and different activities. I would be so tired after practice, so when coming home from practice or something else I wouldn't have time to do nothing because I would go straight to sleep. Now that sports is over i'm going to be able to improve in both categories which i'm already improving on. Now that I know some of my weaknesses in this class I know what I'm supposed to improve on.

The Fever Code Summary
The title of this book is called The Fever Code. It's the 4th sequel from the writer James Dashner’s series called The Maze Runner. The genre of this book is Science fiction. Overall this book was outstanding compared to other books in its series. This book definitely keeps you on edge and have mixed feelings about different characters.
The setting of this book takes place in a building controlled by wicked. It's located somewhere in the northern hemisphere. The main character Thomas, he is little in this book because the author decided to make a sequel to how everything started. The problem in this book is there is a disease called the flare and they were taking young kids to make them intelligent and strong to help find the cure with them. Wicked also brought them to test their body and see if they can create something that can be similar to the immune and can work on the people who are not immune. Well first Thomas meets a man named Randall and Randall did not want Thomas to remember his real name. His name by the way was Stephen. He ended up changing his name after brutal torture by the man named randall. After years of hard learning and trying to find a cure for this disease he finally met a girl Teresa. She was also smart just like him. Wicked wanted him and her to make a maze for some of the subjects can go in there and they can test them to find a cure. Also all the subjects are immune including Thomas and Teresa. Wicked wanted to test the subjects brains to see how they function. Throughout all of this Thomas and some kids from group A sneak out and they try to plan and strategize things out and see if Wicked is good or not. Well throughout these conversation Teresa and Thomas are working on the maze and they are doing well on making everything.
This is all i read up too and i'm still finishing the book up. So far i give this book a 5 out of 5 i'm still waiting on the ending though Thank you for reading.

“Young African-American’s and the Great Truth ‘Are black people just killing each other off?’” By Joseph Ayala
Students walk with caution and try to not attract notice.
As we all know there is a huge amount of crime in Chicago. Chicago is ranked amongst the top 10 in the most dangerous places to live in. Even some protests are violent. Chicago has a huge problem with police brutality and homicides between the same Race. According to an officer who had a great deal of experience with this, from the article Chicago tribune, said "There are good and bad in every profession, any profession, and I don't deny we have bad cops," said a black veteran patrol officer assigned to the majority black Wentworth police District on the South Side, who asked not to be identified. "But what offends me the most is the protests like they're doing now. A possibly bad shooting happens somewhere else in the country — where is your protest over the 4-year-old who was just shot?” This informs the readers about the problem in chicago and the truth about what is going on there.
Chicago's crime rates go through the roof, according to CNN, “Last Friday to Sunday alone, gun violence has been blamed for eight homicides and 64 non-fatal shootings, according to Chicago police. As of Sunday, homicides so far this year total 459. There have been 2,818 shooting victims this year -- just 170 shy of 2015's total of 2,988, according to the Chicago Tribune.” As you can see from the stats, Chicago is not a very safe place to live. This is not all though. The cops are the ones
who need to stop the violence in Chicago. Except they're just making it worse by killing innocent people. Children of Chicago are affected by this because they become more frightened to walk along their own streets and if they aren't then that means they are either becoming the killers or being killed.
On tv, Last night, on a cold december, the 11th. Around 9pm in the quiet but very dark neighborhood of Chicago. There was kids playing basketball in the park, since the lights go out at 11. All these kids were around 12 to 13. What had happened was at one point the boys had stopped talking and stopped bouncing the ball. Then, as neighbors by the park had heard, the boys had screamed and they all came scrambling out of the park. One boy after another, each one had a face of shock and a shaken expression. As one neighbor heard, Charles Benwood, from across the street said he heard one boy say to another “ Bro, that guy looked scary and he looked like he had something in his hand, probably a gun”. Police checked the park after the incident to try and find this mysterious man. Police say he might be armed because of what the boys had said. This perspective shows how children are affected by the crime in Chicago. If children aren't safe going to parks, then how do we know if they will be safe walking to school, or walking to a corner store.
We can save this city if we just stop the violence. People need to stop shooting each other. Most of these deaths are people whose skin is black. And how they die is mostly from black people. According to the article 75% of Murdered are Black, 71% of murders are black, by Devin Foley, states “ The data on offenders also tells a troubling story: Young, Black males are overwhelmingly committing most of the murders. Based on the data on the victims, that means young, Black males are primarily killing other young, Black males. What a terrible situation.” As you can see from this article it states that black people are killing each other. We can stop this by showing this information to young black people and help them realize that they are killing there own people. Once we fix that problem then there will be less protests and no racial problems between cops and black people.

Gratitude blog
I am grateful for all the opportunities I was given this year. Some opportunities I'm grateful for are, one for making it to the playoffs with my football team, Two being able to attend a great school and district, and Three, is meeting new people having new friends. I'm thankful for everything that was provided to me. I'm thankful for all my teachers who put there time and effort into giving us there time to become a great student. Some teachers give me a hard time, but now I know its just to help me out for I can become a better student and a better learner.
I think that in the long run with the things they teach, we would be able to become more educated and have a better understanding of the world around us. I think I changed from the start of 2016 to the end of it because I think that I'm more wise with the decisions I make and I'm smarter than I ever was. I think im that way now because of the people I surround myself with. The friends I have now they taught me more about what goes on and new things came to my attention being with them. They helped me become who I am now compared to the start of 2016.
I'm really thankful to my mom and dad for setting up these opportunities that were provided for me. I am really lucky with the situation I am in now and im very lucky to have the people I have today. But most importantly I am very lucky to have my parents. I know sometimes I give my parents a hard time witch I need to stop doing because they do so much for me and sometimes I don't understand what they want to teach me. I need to act more grateful for now on and stop being rude or having arguements with them. I love my dad and my mom they do so much for me.

The United States is Corrupt
My thoughts on the election in general is it was a well fought battle between the republicans and Donald Trump, but I think that Hillary should have won because she had a majority vote from the people. Donald trump won because he influenced little states to go for him, that's what killed HIllary because she didn't have no influence in central America that's how Donald Trump won. Hillary did win all the popular states, but she forgot all about the central states.
Some people say that Donald Trump is smart for using his business to when because he used workers that he used to work with to get a upper hand in the central states. I would love to be more involved in politics and how our world should be run because i care about the future of america. Think about it now that the republicans are in office there going to mess up whatever Obama was trying to fix, that took him years to try and create. Now republicans are going to come in the white house and automatically make more jobs and lower the taxes???? How?
I'm not excited to vote in the next election because I don't want to be apart of whatever dumb guy they choose to run over Donald Trump. The usa might as well have a king and a Queen be the ruler of America because that's what's basically happening with all these parties, particularly Democrats and Republicans. I think we can't believe in republican presidents, remember bush he was a disappointment to our country.
