Service Learning

On May the 28th our group was down stairs in the lunch room cleaning the school store. We came up with a cool idea for what we want to have in the school store. Me, Juliene, Jessica, Veesna, Tab, and John we went on a trip to 5 and below to get prices on items for the school store and the other group members that stood back were Arlette, Brandon, Morgan, Mo, and Marcus they worked on the bill and made sketches for the room like how we were going to put the room and hopefully next time our group meet we are going to measure the room to see how much space in the room

Of Mice And Men (Motifs)

There were a lot of motifs in the book Of Mice And Men. The motif that i choose was strength and weaknesses. Everyone in the book had there strength and weaknesses in the book Of Mice And Men. The first Strength and Weakness I am going to talk about is George's and Lennie's. These two friends or cousins share not quit the same weakness George's strength is that he's a leader he doesn't take nothing from nobody. On the other hand his dear friend Lennie he is a little bit mental, basicly he had a man's body but the mind of a 3 or 4 year old kid. He is obsessed with rabbits and he is a hard worker but his weakness is he has a thing of petting things to hard and ends u killing what he is touching. There is another character i want to talk about Curley he is the guy who is short and thinks he's tough his strength is that his dad owns the farm and he gets to boss everyone around and because he used to box and was once welterweight champion his weakness is that for messing with the wrong people and bossing people that he thinks is weaker than him so he messed with Lennie and he broke Curleys hand. The next person i'm going to talk about is Curkeys wife her strength was her beauty and she wanted to be a  movie star but her weakness is that she married Curley and is stuck on a farm with working men and she is a tease. You can learn a real big lesson from all of this every one has there strengths and weaknesses even I do. I am going to let out my strength and weakness for an example my strength is my family and friends my weakness is the streets. What I mean is that the streets aredangerous and I be out there all day but I have a family that takes care of me.

EMPIRE ON THE SUN

This movie is a wonderful movie. I liked when Jim figured out how to take care of himself. though he didn't do it alone. Jim had help from the British, Americans, and the Japanese. The power and the emotion that Jim had in this movie because he was inspired by air planes ever since he was kid. He lived in China with his mom and dad they were a wealthy family. His dad was a wealthy man and was known throughout all of China. Then a war began with the Chinese the Japanese and the United States they took everyone from china and put them in concentration camps.When they were trying to get out of China Jim and his parents were separated. He was all alone stuck in China with Japanese soldiers.He was a good kid trying to take care of himself and also others. He was confused in his own little world. He was friends with Americans, Japenese and British. Jim wanted to be an American and he also wanted to be a Japanese air force pilot.It was outstanding that he survived through the whole war without getting sick or shot.

They told Lorenzo's parents that he was going to die by the time he turned 10 because at that moment the doctors or scientist did not have any cure to the disease Lorenzo had. Lorenzo's parents trusted the doctors but they kept Lorenzo on a diet which was only increasing his blood pressure which if he goes over c 24 he could die. His parents took him off the diet and his mother found a scientist that had pure olive oil with no fat or transfat in it so they gave Lorenzo his medicine mixed with the olive oil and the funny thing is that he loved when his parents told him stories so every time Lorenzo's father would tell him a story. The next day the scientist called and said that his results decreased by 50% great progress but the neat few days the percent stood still in one spot. The Odons were very depressed  about the whole situation there son Lorenzo couldn't speak the doctors put him on a diet that could cost Lorenzo his life and on top of that no one beleaves the Odon's  that they may have found a cure to the evil and deadly disease ALD.

Lorenzo lives after the movie his father found a cure for his disease he was given an award and medical degree for finding the cure to ALD. Lorenzo can see, hear, but he still can't talk or move because there are some things that you can't fix in your brain but he communicates with his mom and dad.
