Chapter 13 The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

         In chapter 13 in The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, Shmuel admits, " Lieutenant Kotler. He scares me." I think that Shmuel is afraid of Kotler because I think that he is the one who harshly seprated his Dad, brother and himself and his mother. That or he killed a relitive or friend. Kotler seems to scare most people with exceptions of a few. Please comment on why you think Kotler scares Shmuel and Bruno or just comment on this quote.

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

                   In The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, John Brown expresses the feelings of a nine year old boy, Bruno, who's Father has a job which he knows nothing about and because of the job, his family had to move to a place Bruno knows absolutely nothing about. When Bruno starts comparing the new three story house and his old five story house he talks so bad about his new home. It reminded me in Esperanza Rising, Esperanza is comparing her shack like home and complains about being a servant to when she lived in a glamorous house on the biggest farm in the area. When her father dies, her house was burnt down and she is forced to become a servant. These two characters relate because both of them started out very rich then when a certain event occurred, everything fell for them and started heading down hill. I think that it is okay for Bruno to be a bit upset that he had to leave his grandparents and friends. That can be really hard. And not turning the corner and finding nooks and crannies to keep him company. I can't imagine what it would be like if  I were in his position not knowing where I am or why.

These are Chapters 1-3 ONLY

Nike... Naughty Or Nice?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

         After doing a bit of research in certain books, I found, according to my The Better World Shopping Guide (2012 & 2013) that two years in a row Nike has been placed and graded as a C+ ranking. This list goes from A+ to F. I would say that is average... What do you think?!? Before you comment on what you think, I would like you to look at this website and also comment if you think this information is just saying the GOOD things about Nike or if all they are doing is good...

My Favorite Book

         India Opal Buloni moves to a new town, Naomi, Florida with her Daddy, "The Preacher" for her daddy to preach at Open Arms Baptist Church of Naomi. Opal has trouble finding friends her own age. She make friends with a Librarian, Miss Franny Block, a six year old girl, Sweetie Pie Thomas, a pet store owner Otis, and a "witch" named Gloria Dump. Opal has may advetures and stories with her friends and is having a great new time with her new dog she found in a store, Winn-Dixxie. Miss Franny tells many, long, funny stories and Opal reads Gloria Dump the book Gone With The Wind. Gloria Dump and Opal throw an outside party simalr to the one in their book. The only flaw is that she has to invite 2 twin Brothers that she dosn't have much interest in. Opal ends up inviting them, rudly, and they throw the party with all of friends. 

         The party goes GREAT!!!! Until..... It starts raining!!!! They rush everything inside. Then Inda Opal looks for Winn Dixie and cannot find him. They search and search and cannot find. They  searched up and down the entire town. After much looking, they give up. :( They return to the party and evrybody is happy. Opal questions this. After all Opal's searching Winn-Dixie was hidding under a bed the entire time. The rest of the party was singing happy songs and having a great tie as a Church Family

 In My opnion, Kate DiCamillo did a great job at writting this emotion, adventurous book.

I really apprciate this bbok because I can realate to some of it. India Opal's Momma left "The Preacher" and herself when Opal was little and she convices her daddy to tell her 10 things about her momma, one fo each year Opal has been alive. "The Preacher tells Opal 10 things about her momma.

The way this relates to me is that I don'y remember my birth mom at all. I really wish that I had someone to tell me what my mom was like. It makes me always wonder what she looked like, do I have any sibilings, I just wish that I had someone to tell me what she was like. Or at least a picture of what she looked like.

If you are looking for a short Enrichment Reading book I recomend this book, Because Of Winn-Dixie.

It is a great adventurous cute book.
Let me know in the comments if you have read this book or you have connections too. Thank You!


This song reminds me of when Opal's daddy is telling her about her mom. I always picture it as a sad depressing part of the story.

I am reading an amazing book called Positivily by Courtney Sheniel. It is about a girl who's Mother has died from HIV and she has to go live with her dad who divorced with her mother and re-married and his wife is pregnant. But she hasn't talked or seen him for about  year and a half. As Emmy goes through her changes, her step mom sends her to a HIV positive camp that she dosn't want to go to. There she finds that she is not alone and finds some friends.

I have not yet finished the book. Too be continued.........

Yard Sale Over! FINALLY!!!!

      So we finished our yard sale fundraiser earning the EHS Band about $2,500! WOW! That's more than ever! The bad side is that I had to get up at 5:15 to be ready to halp at six (I take a very long time to eat).  My Dad and I at 7:30-ish went on a delightful walk down the neighborhood.When I came back i was very happy to find my friend Lindsey there. We talked and ate cinnamin rolls, walked and then a EHS Color Gaurd (Angi) taught Lindsey and I how to twirl, throw, and do a warm up with a fake riffle and buter sword(unsharpened sword to throw and twirl with). The rest of the Yard Sale it self... well I didn't really pay attention to it. But over all it was a great and sucsessful day!

The Voice

Polly's diary of "The Voice"

Dear Diary,

      Wasn't today a tremendous day, quite as well frightening but very eventful? After leaving our own world, we went of course to the woods between the worlds, and it was, as always very peaceful and the queen was starting to weaken again. When Strawberry stepped into a pool, so I shouted, "Quick the greens!" and we found that the whole party had come with. After going down for a ways, Digory and I relized that we were standing. Digory said, "Maybe we are back in Charn just durring the night." Then a harsh, cold voice said," It's not Charn, it's nothing." It was the Witch. She was right. It was nothing. No stars, no moon, no light. Nothing. And the feeling of having nothing around you and being the only living thing in this world is frightful. It gives you the chills running up and down your back. It seemed as if maybe even the Witch with her great powers was even a little bit well, shocked. Then in a moment you could here a magnificent voice singing. It started sounding like a lullaby. Slow and peaceful. But then it grew louder keeping it's peacful sound but as if in rhythm, stars, constellations, and light started to apear.Then a light wind washed over us. Cabby, Digory and I stood jaws dropped in amazement. A sun started comming out. But it felt much younger than our sun, though giving off a warmer light. At every moment The Voice kept on singing. Soon enough there was enough light to see each others faces. Everybody should be amazed by this beautiful sound, but Mr. Ketterly and the Witch were not.
        Mr. Ketterley was amazed, but I am sure that it wasn't in delight. He seemed very fascinated by the song yet maybe offended. He was so shaky that he looked as if he would fall over right then and there. Near by him stood the Witch who looked very serious as if nothing interesting was going on and yet you could tell that she did not like the song at all. The Voice kept on singing and making nature with it's rhythm. Soon there were hills, grass, and trees everywhere! The entire world was lightened up by this song. It was very calming untill you saw the singer it's self. It was a Lion. The Witch picked up the lamp post that she still had and threw it right at the lion wich was comming directly towards us and it hit him square in between his eyes then bounced of as if a balloon. The Witch was teriffied and ran off to hide in the forest of trees. Mr. Ketterley horrified by lion stayed close to the kids trying to steel there rings o get out of what he calls a terrible place

MINIdueck is because I am the youngest off four kids. I have three older brothers(Justin-18-freshman college-FresnoPacific University, David-16-Jr. in High School-Edison, Adam-14-Freshman in High school-Edison).
