Anecdote: "Old Man"

My example of an anecdote is a story about my dog and her boyfriend in his backyard... Hope you enjoy it!:)

Ella and Ajax were in Ajax's backyard, which is extremly spacious. Ell started to run around the yard and Ajax in circles as if she was saying, "Come and get me old man!". While she was doing this, Ajax, like always, watched her go around and around him until she stopped and then Ajax started to chase her. They did this until they started to tackle each other and roll in the mud, until they were as muddy as football players. We then take Ella home and clean her off until the next time that she goes over and plays "Old Man" with Ajax.

Comic Strip Humor

Cartoon Humor

Sentries at Buckingham Palace are supposed to be silent, show no emotion, and be perfectly still. This cartoon is showing a sentry getting yelled at because he is writing an autograph. That is why it is humorous.

Nobel Peace Prize: Obama

I had to do this post on one person who won the Nobel Peace Prize, so I chose Obama. I went to Wall Street Journal, Nobel Peace Prize.com and the Huffington Post. All of the websites stated that he invisioned stopping nuclear weapons and creating world peace, but all also agreed that he really hadn't done anything to deserve it. The issue of peace and weapons is global because it effects everyone. The only thing he has done to 'take action' was think. He has used TV's, newspapers and radios. He did talkshows and speeches. He did answer my question which was that he didn't really do ANYTHING to deserve the prize. He doesn't inspire me at all, he does the exact opposite. He showed that ANYONE can win the prize and that ANYONE can become president. But, that's my opinion.

My Faith

My Faith

After reading the Hiding Place, I now realize how low my faith is. I am nothing like Betsie. She is always thanking God for everything. She is way better than me.

Bullying Survey

My Bullying Survey

In my L.A. class, we had to do a bullying Survey. Here are my results.

1.  I have been the victim if bullying (teasing, name-calling, etc.) Agreed: 1 Disagreed: 4

2. I have bullied someone during this school year. Agreed: 0 Disagreed: 5

3. I have witnessed someone else being bullied this school year. Agreed: 4 Disagreed: 1

4. What do witnesses or bystanders usually do when they see someone being bullied?

    Responses: Nothing, nothing, pretend they don't see it, nothing, and they ignore it.

5. Bullying is a problem in our school. Agreed: 1 Disagreed: 4

So, not many people have been bullied or are bullies. However, they have witnessed bullying and know what most witnesses do. And it is terrific to see that only one thinks it is a problem in my school.
