Day 3: The Boston Marathon

I will be talking about the Boston Marathon day 3 if you are reading this and you have not read the 2 and 1 day go ahead and read those before you read this so this can make sense.  Now I will stat talking of the 3 day of the Boston marathon.  The police were still looking for evidence in the in the bombing scene the police collected every piece of evidence they could find and tried to put the pieces together and they wanted to see who bought those things and where they sell those things.  The FBI set up a where house to investigate all of the evidence they had and they had evidence of the actual backpack then they were looking at other things they had.  There were lots of people telling things and trying to help.  And then people were posting pictures of a person on a ceiling when the bombs were exploding.  And then when it was Wednesday and they were saying fake news of a person arrested.  And then people started saying congrats of getting the suspects and the FBI were saying umm… no we have not captured them and them yet and then the FBI and police started looking for the people that caused all of the bombing.  When it was the evening they new the bombers were still out there and that they they could attack again.  And while the police were looking for them the older brother Tamberlion was at his home with his Wife and daughter and he was a boxer player and none of his friends and his teammates did not know what he had done and plus he caused the bombing.  The youngest brother Zaranieth went back to school at the University of Massachusetts and the school cameras showed he was at the school Gym the day After the Bombing he was back to cover and back with is life going to the Gym and hanging out with friends and friends will say he had been in Parties that whole week.  But that night there were death and not good things. And that is it see you tomorrow or another day Good BYE!!

We Don’t Always See Things The Same Way With The 11-Minute Essay

11-Minute Essay

Truism-How is that true? Movie-How is that true? Book-How is that true? Inspiring People- How is that true? I wonder…

We don’t all see things the same way.We cannot see things the same way because we are all different. Each person has their own beliefs, experiences, and point of view.

In the movie, The Beautiful Mind, the main character saw the things completely different than those around him. He made up characters and situations that didn’t really exist. He, however, thought that they were real.

In the book entitled the Tenth Good Thing About Barney, a little girl lost her cat due to old age. She is extremely sad because he died. She argues with her best friend about where cats go when they die. Her friends said that cats go to heaven, eat tuna, and drink milk. The girl said that cats go in the ground. They both had different opinions. They didn’t see things the same way.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is an epidemiologist who studies how viruses form and act. He gives advice based on scientific studies. He explains what people should do to protect themselves from the the virus known as COVID-19. Other people who are scientists have their idea about how to stop COVID-19 as well. They see things in different ways.

I wonder if it would be possible to see things completely in the same way. I have big doubts because how can we see things the same way if every person is unique and have different experiences.

Nobody Knows What The Future Holds

Yesterday, my blogging students and I embarked on the second day of exploring the 11-Minute Essay by Gretchen Bernabei. We used a photo and truism to start our thinking. Then we journeyed. It was quite fun! Here are my the tracks of my thinking.

Truism-How is that true?

 

Movie-How is that true? Book-How is that true? Show-How is that true? I wonder…

 

Nobody knows what the future holds. Nobody knows because the future has not become present yet. We only know the future when it actually occurs in real time. Many times, it is unpredicable.

In the movie The Incredibles II, no one know in the Incredible family just what power baby Jack-Jack would have since he had never exhibited them yet. However, due to silly situation with a mapache, the little incredible became enfuriated and began to show his powers. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. Not only that, but Jack-Jack saved his family in the end. If it weren’t for his new powers of a fireball and invisibility, the family would have perished at the hands of an evil character. In other words, no one saw that coming.

You just never know which videos will go viral on YouTube. One man created a hilarious video of a dog talking. The dog was teased by his owner with bacon. This video received a million views within a few days! It was featured on many popular talk shows including Good Morning America. I bet the man who produced this video never would have guessed that this would happen to him.

The character Francisco in La Mariposa, was a shy character that had difficulty communicating in English with classmates. He was learning English for the first time. Instead of playing outside at recess with his classmates, he stayed inside and took care of his caterpillar friend in a jar. Slowly but surely, Francisco was able to learn more English and make friends. He emerged from his own cocoon at the School, but it took time. No one knew that that would happen so fast.

Now I wonder about things that will happen in the future that we don’t expect. I wonder if we will find a vaccine quickly to Covid-19. I wonder when things will go back to normal. Like many say, the future will tell.

A Series of Unfortunate Events ( Great movie/show )

 Warning: Before you start make sure you have time to read all of it                                                                                                                                                              (Introductions)-Ever curious of  watching a movie or a show with just no happy ending ? You came to the right place if not ….. theater two is on the right!!   The Series Of Unfortunate Event was originally a book then a movie but was then made into a show.(  I watched the show before the movie) (Well i didn’t watch the movie yet but my sis told me they changed the characters) (Which I hate when they change the characters). I really don’t want to spoil the story so i will just say the gist/summary of it. The siblings from the shows is Violet the oldest sister, Klaus the middle child who is a boy, and Sunny the baby sister. Their last name was Baudelaire.Violet loved inventing new things and surprisingly almost all her inventions work, Klaus was a very smart guy (REALLY SMART) (No joke), Sunny who was about three years old, was a sneaky baby that was very smart for age, was great at climbing, and finally was really cute (she could do more but I am just  stating the gist)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           (How it all started)-The story starts with the three siblings getting told by their parent to go play outside.(This family is rich humble kind nice) (This could on and on forever) Then a couple minutes later there is a fire. They get as far away from the fire as possible. Then it went all over the news and that’s when they became orphans and had to go to the orphanage. Their parents had a list of people that should take care of them if something bad happens.( Which was good because now they are dead). Before they got the list of the people the siblings lived with a man that tortured them. (The man found out they had a big fortune and tried to steal it in many ways). (They were quickly sent to another place.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               (Their Mission, Stalker and Relatives)-They had lots of complications which I will get into in a minute but, their mission was to find out if  their parents were still alive which they didn’t find out till the end. But till then they had a stalker that would stalk them everywhere they went to try and steal their fortune. This made their lives awful. Their relative were Aunt Josephine Uncle Monty etc…. The evil man that torture them was Count Olaf (AKA Stalker).  He did everything to get the fortune to the point all the relatives they went to ended up dying because of him. They were then sent to a job that only paid the people with coupons and gum. The ones who worked there thought it was a good deal because they got hypnotized (except for one nice worker that wasn’t hypnotize properly and functioned fine) . Once again Count Olaf was there and the kids always knew it was him wherever they went but no one believe them when they told the people around them because he was always in a disguise. Everyone hated Count Olaf but never recognized him.                                                                                        (The Organisation (VFD)- The siblings found a book that guided them through but a strong wind made the book come in pieces. That book would lead them to many things including what VFD stood for. Where ever they went they would hear it from specific people. ( The relatives Count Olaf etc….) (Because it was such a long time ago i don’t remember what they thought VFD stood for), but I know a couple of things Count Olaf  The Relatives and people that were on the siblings side were in the VFD. VFD stood for Voluntary Fire Department but Count Olaf wanted to start fire and not end them so he went his way and they went theirs.                                                                                                                   (Extra Important Information/Scenes that I didn’t mention)- There was another family that was mentioned in the story later on that were also rich nice humble kind (that could also go on forever) but were friends with the main kid’s parents, they also had three kids. (although they were mentioned towards the middle of the story they also had a fire situation). The kids survived but the parents don’t. (They meet somewhere and realize their parents knew each other because of a picture they each had a side of ). They start working together and go through more difficulties. It doesn’t stop there all three kids that were introduced towards the middle of the story fly away with the worker at the hypnotized job that didn’t get hypnotized right  and live happily ever after .                                                                                                                                (This is how some relatives died!!)- The Aunt died in the ocean because of this made up animal that ate her. Count Olaf pushed her in! Uncle Monty dies because Count Olaf put a snake’s venom in him. Monty loved snakes!  The librarian (who i didn’t talk about and help the kids alot then became part of the VFD ) died at that circus because Count Olaf walked towards her with a knife so she fell in the pit of hungry lions.  More people died but watch the show/movie to figure out who and how!                                                                                                                           (Different scene) In the very beginning there was a family (not poor not rich) that weren’t in the VFD organisation but i personally think the person who wrote this tried to trick us in thinking the parents were still alive and didn’t die in the fire!!(and were kicking their butt of to get to their children) .                                                                                                                                                                                                                      (THE END )IF YOU READ ALL THE WAY HEAR COMMENT AND FOLLOW TO READ MORE LIKE THIS AND SORRY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I TRIED TO MAKE YOU INTERESTED BUT STILL WATCH THE SHOW/MOVIE !!!!!!!!!! ENJOY  (Don’t forget to watch it because i didn’t say everything on purpose !!!!!!!)

11 Minute Essay-Friends and Family

11 Minute Essay

Truism-How is this true? How is this true in a movie? How is this true in a book? How is this true in history? I wonder

 

Having friends and family makes everything better. When I am with friends and family, I get to experience life is a nicer and better way. It is always nice to share life’s journey with family and friends.

In the movie Holes, Stanley Yelnats, the main character, is sent to Camp because he stole some shoes. He doesn’t know anyone at this desert camp. He makes friends with one of his camp attendees. This friend makes his experience at the harsh camp survivable. They dig holes together and set off on a crazy adventure. Without his friend, his experience would have been horrible.

In the book titled La Mariposa or Butterfly, Francisco Jimenez, the author, becomes best friends with a caterpillar that he takes care of in a glass jar. Instead of going out to recess with classmates, Francisco stays inside to talk to and take care of the caterpillar. He draws numerous pictures of his friend and wins a blue ribbon in an art contest. Finally, when the caterpillar emerges from pupa to butterfly, he lets his friend go to explore the world.

During Hurricane Harvey, I invited my sister and nephew to ride the hurricane out at my house. We stayed together for almost a week, as Hurricane Harvey flooded most of the Houston area. We even went to a hotel because we thought we might be flooded. Through this experience, we helped each other by talking about the situation, cooking delicious meals, and waking each other up when we had to go seek shelter in the closet during tornado warnings. Without them, it would have been difficult to face Hurricane Harvey. They made me laugh too with this crazy stories and jokes.

I sometimes wonder what and how my life would be different without friends and family. I know that I would be lonely and my life would be dull and boring. They bring meaning to my life. I love having friends and family near me.

Robinhood

One of my favorite memories of my daughter growing up was watching her watch Disney’s Robinhood. I bet she watched it over a zillion times. She loved all the animal characters. At the beginning and end of the movie, you see little animals chasing each other over and over. She would laugh over and over at those parts. In fact, I believe that those were her favorite parts. Because of her laughter and joy, I can safely put Disney’s Robinhood at the top of my cartoon movie playlist. I had the movie in VHS. I suppose I could get it digitally now. I don’t have a VHS player anymore. Hmmm. I wonder where I could buy one for posterity sake?  Amazon? We’ll see.

Plays/Drama

I love plays/dramas they are intresting.  I was going to be in one.
But the Covid-19 made us pause.  But I don’t have a big role so I don’t care that much cause they kind of ignore me and that hurts my feelings 🙁

But it was kind of fun doing all of the things I think I will join back when this Covid is done.

Knucklehead is hilarious.

In Knucklehead, Jon Scieszka writes about his funny adventures of growing up with 5 brothers in Michigan.

Jon Scieszka finds himself in precarious situations with his brother Jim. Jim was older and always got Jon into some type of trouble such as the time when Jim broke the legs off the couch. Jim blamed Jon for it.
