ROCKPILE
  John and Roy two kids growing up in Harlem living in a upstairs apartment where not allowed to go  outside due to the very bad neighborhood they lived in .Notice with John being the oldest sibling he has a huge responsibility to look after Roy and the other little sister. John isn’t really a good big brother he seems to be shy timid. While Roy on the other hand is young and ruthless in doesn’t follow the rules . They were not allowed to go to rock pile because of the danger in the stuff that goes on but somehow Roy found away .

    John not being a good big brother allows his little brother to go down to the rockpile.Roy meets with friends and gets in a fight it on the way back to the house he struck with a cand and has a gash right above his eye.Gabriel Roy’s Asheville dad and not John’s dad Immediately blames John for Roy getting hurt but, Roy is the wrong one. In this story I learned being an older sibling you have to take responsibility and look after your little brother in don’t let him make any bad decisions or you will get blamed.

A LESSON BEFORE DYING
       A lesson before dying is about a young boy that accused was accused of murder and sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty. Can he be changed into a man before it’s too late? Jefferson was the last person on scene with four people were dead on scene including the gas station owner in friends he got in the car with. Jefferson is example of why you shouldn’t let peer pressure make you make bad decisions.
     
          Mr. Grant was hired to help him become a man before he reached death. The process was long and hard but he was able to complete it. I can reflect on this story and say that to any circumstances in life you can be changed if you are killer ,theft or once atheist.Anybody can we changed with the faith of God.

Dear, Grant
 I am sorry that you have been put in this situation. I myself have to really think how can I help. Jefferson seems to be very mentally weak and once he loses all hope it will be to late. I encourage you to keep trying to motivate him in the best way that you can . Anything possible that makes him seem human again. Once you do that you will begin to teach him man hood.

The sorrow of war homework

Thursday 64-85
He thought of them as part of his life being blown away in wispy sections, leaving vast, open areas of  complete emptiness, as in his own life.pg 68

On bad nights he would lose control altogether and break down, sobbing into his pillow.pg 85


Friday
It was around this time that Kien began to drift over the edge of logic and started believing in ghosts.pg 98

But the big soldier,embarrassed, got up and kicked at the body angrily.pg 102

Saturday
Kien, already nervous, was breathless. He hardly dared look at her lovely body.pg 119

She had once told Kien something rather odd and awkward:”You’re a Pioneer now. One day you’ll become a real man. So, harden your heart and be brave, my son.”pg 123

Sunday
His father died in his childhood, His mother left him all alone.Like a plant’s, his growth is good. In times of war he’s on his own. So the boy creates his very own man, Not mourning the fate of a lonely orphan.pg 127

In his naivety he had not quite understood her.pg.135

Importance of behaving well in a classroom



    You always have to be on your best behavior there is always somebody watching and observing your actions and how you conduct yourself. Me personally being an student athlete I have to carry myself an certain way to stick out from my peers . High school four years can really dictate what college you will attend do not take this time for granted you will regret the decisions you made. Also bring Loud and annoying in the classroom can land you with an suspension and a teacher not liking you.

    In class I hate to have constant distractions blocking me from my precious education. Taking an Ap class makes us more superior then our fellow classmates. This class needs to be making ourselves better and prepared for college. Hopefully for now on after writing these two paragraph things will change.

              As I walk


As I walk to school the wind pushes me in my face

Fall is approaching say goodbye to the hot sunny days

I hear the cold air whistle in my ear telling me to go

Get a jacket it’s cold outside my dear

As the leaves fall and change watch as my friends fade away

Fall is approaching be aware and be safe

       How old is to young for an IPhone



I personally think 13years old and under is to young for the IPhone. The phone it’s self is much more than a phone and are very expensive and can seem fragile if used without case kids are very clumsy and wreckless. Also the iPhone 8 goes for an $1000 dollars do u trust a kid with that. That young you only need a phone for calling your parents what else you need it for. The iPhone can also seem to be complicated to younger kids . Those three claims support my reasons for why am child should not have a IPhone tell they reach the age of maturity.

                                               Jack Haskel ,an PCTA trail information specialist tells about different ways to be responsible in the wild .  One good way is to follow The Leave no trace principles . You have to be Cautious of what you leave behind because thousands of others walk in your tracks. Also be safe  and be prepared. Getting sick or injured on the PCT trail is very common so you have to be prepared. Be sure to watch videos and research a lot before you get on the trail. He tells us to explore our physical limits and abilities .

          What I learned ....
 The PCT trail is designated as one of our country’s 11 National Scenic Trails.

The Novel Wild, help launch the Pct trail out to millions of people around the world.


 A well built trail that is taking care of and maintained can be very inviting to hikers.

Questions......

Overall do you think wild Have a good. Or bad influence on the people hiking the Pct trail for the first time?

Do you think wild help expand the PCT community?
