When the day comes that we honor our Veterans,
It’ll be with respect and giving them our full attention.
It’s a day where the blue, red, and white flag gets to
show off, and represent a day, and everyday when our
dear Veterans fought for us.
They’ve went through crucial battles, day and night, sleep or no sleep, bad weather or good. Either way they they had it, they were the ones who didn't give up, who didn’t turn back and say “ I quit “, and who weren't the ones who did treason and never came back.
So for this we say, thank you Veterans for being part of
this battle. Our life could be different if you haven't fought for us, it
would have been a catastrophe everywhere. But not everyone in a
camouflage uniform is called a hero, it could be someone who has
been on our side when we needed them the most.

A U turn that caused conflict
Car Accidents happen all the time, and that's why we have signs and rules so that people could stay safe and avoid any conflicts. Car Accidents happen because some people don't pay attention to their surroundings, rules, or their distracted by their devices in front of them.
If there is a one way on a street, there is now way a car is going to be able to do a U turn. Well in this situation, a man had attempted to do a U turn and it didn't go very well.
On October 2nd on w crystal st, Chicago IL two cars crashed into each other front to front of the cars. Paramedics and police surrounded the car to try and get the people out. There was three adults and two children. Two adult femals and two children in one car and the man who did the U turn. As the man was trying to make a U turn, it was maybe illegal to so on a one way street. So the car behind it with the children and adult femals crashed into the car trying to make a U turn. The man had done the U turn because there was cops at the end of the block and he wasn't wearing his seat belt. So he thought his only solution was to do a U turn, which would get him in much more bigger trouble than not having a seat belt on.
Accidents like this happen almost everyday. Some people don't pay lots of attention when driving. They don't because because they think their not going to crash or cause a catastrophe and show growth in your problems. So just make sure if you're not going to follow the rules while driving don't do a U turn on a one way, you’ll become the story of the day.

Quarter 1 reflections
With my 10 book challenge I'm doing very well, the books I choose I like. I am currently on my 3rd book called Beastly. A thought to myself is will I accomplish the 10 book challenge? I want to reach more than 10 books if I can. All I have to do is read 30 minutes or more everyday. I haven't done any blogs in August, but my first one and all he others I did, I was able to understand more. What I was able to do and show growth in is how to give textual evidence, information about the topic i'm talking about, and to learn how to write. Each blog I feel like I do more and more better because I already know what I'm doing. As I do more and more blogs I know that I will do more and even more better than I did the last one.
Strategies I do for homework is I have them wrote down in the app called Reminder, where it tells you when you have to do something. In ELA and any other class I was able to get my work or homework ready on time. When I read. For reading to help me stay focused, I like to listen to soft melody or calming relaxing music. I like to stay somewhere where it's comfortable enough for me to read, or a room with not to much lighting or darkness. Something I've learned about the world is there is conflict no matter where you go. There is children who don't go to school, don't have a home, are suffering from hunger, and young girls getting pregnant which is unhealthy. Between parents there's divorce, domestic violence, and just the parents getting a healthy relationship. Animals are getting tortured, some species may be, getting, or is already extinct. There is always conflict but that's why we work together to stop them as a team.
My writing is progressing to me little by little or just maybe more and more. I'm getting more exceptional with my words and I am able to learn how to use them while I talk and to use them while I write. Then the more I say the words other people around me start to remark the words I use. The next 3 quarters my goal is to be able to get honor roll. I would like this goal because I've never been on honor roll and to get it I need to work hard and focus on my work than other things. That is just one goal I have for the next 3 quarters.

Movie and Book Comparison The Giver
The way that the movie and book are different is because in the movie both Asher and Fiona have different jobs then they had in the book. In the book Asher was the Assistant Director of Recreation. In the movie he was chosen to be a pilot. In the book the chief elder says “We have given you the Assignment of Assistant Director of Recreation.” (56) This explains how in the book Asher was assigned a different job than in the movie where the chief elder called up Asher and told him he was going to be a pilot.Fiona was a caretaker for the elders in the book, she was chosen because she was good with the Elders. In the movie she was a nurturer for babies because she was good with them In the book The Chief elder chose Fiona as “Fiona was given the important Assignment of Caretaker of the Old.”(56) In the movie Fiona was chosen as a nurturer so that she could be able to help Jonas in the end so the movie made sense for Jonas to escape with Gabriel. But in the book Fiona was chosen to be the caretaker for the elders, since it mention she was good to them.
The difference between the book and the movie in the end were that Fiona and Asher had helped Jonas escape to elsewhere. In the movie Fiona as a nurturer, she was maybe one because she was going to be helping Jonas escape with Gabriel. Gabriel was in the nurturer center were Fiona was working with the babies. (The end of the movie) Fiona was there trying to find Gabriel so that she can give him to Jonas so that they can leave to elsewhere. For Asher, he was a pilot and his role was almost like an enemies to Jonas because he was the one who told on Jonas for breaking the rules. But at the same time he had also helped Jonas. In the movie, Asher had captured Jonas and Gabriel with the aircraft he was flying in elsewhere.When Asher captured Jonas he had flew over water and dropped Jonas and Gabriel there so that they will hopefully live. (In the movie) This is showing how Asher was listening to the rules, but at the same time being a best friend to Jonas and helping him escape
It was actually the movie that that helped me understand more about what's happening with The Giver, Jonas, and memories. In the movie, There was more explanation of what it was like in the community and specifically what it was like. Jonas was the one in the beginning who quickly explained what it was like in the community. This gave me a better understanding. (In the movie) As the introduction Jonas was speaking about how his community worked and everything about it. Also while he was speaking there was a view of the community looked like, it was more like futuristic, when I was thinking it was going to be more simple instead of fancy things. One other thing that helped me give a better understanding was how Jonas was receiving the memory's from The Giver. In the movie, the receiver of memory had a mark on their hand so that's how they knew who was going to be the receiver of memory. The Giver put his thumbs on Jonas’s mark on his arm and gave him the memories of something. (In the movie) This is explaining how I understood more of how Jonas is receiving the memories from the Giver.From my perspective I thought it was going to be more of a just translating it to his mind or The Giver touching Jonas’s head.

Jonas Blog
Jonas is a dynamic character because he has no emotion and is always thinking about his own self in the beginning. Then towards the ending Jonas realized that lots of things mattered, and he thought about others. In the book this shows during the story once he receives his new job, he suddenly feels more emotions he has towards other people and thinks about things closely. Though he is only thinking about himself only and not about other people.“Though he had been reassured by the talk with his parents, he hadn’t the slightest idea what Assignment the Elders would be selected for his future, or how he might feel about it when the day came.” (19) This explains how Jonas thinks for himself and how selfish he’s being in the beginning and only thinking about himself and what’s going to happen to him.In the end of the book Jonas realized that after he had received the memories he was changing in a way. In someway that gave him feeling and showed a heart that he had.In the book Jonas says “But why can’t everyone have the memories? I think it would seem a little easier if the memories were shared. You and I wouldn’t have to bear so much by ourselves, if everybody took a part.” (112) This quote explains how Jonas changed and he wanted things to change around him because he cared. He cared about things that other people didn't know about because they didn't know any better.
The theme is importance of memories and it's important to Jonas because he wants everyone to know about what happened. What I mean is that Jonas wants people to feel pain,love,and other emotion so that they can actually feel alive. In the book it shows the importance of memory and which means that why are memories important. One specific quote that shows that memory is important is “ it's just that...without the memories it's all meaningless.” (105) What Jonas means by memories being meaningless is that what's the point of having memories. When nobody is going to be making mistakes and being able to reflect on them.The Giver had a big impact in the book too. He gave lots of inspirational words, as in words of the wiser. The Giver was telling Jonas about Memories and how they are important. In the book The Giver says “ There’s much more. There’s all that goes beyond---and all that goes back, and back, and back, I received all of those, when I was selected. And here in this room, all alone, I re-experience them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future.”(78) This quote explains more specifically why memory is important in The Giver’s own words. He knows why memory is important because he has given memory's before and as he did, I think he knew that things needed to change in the community. It needed to change because it was like nobody was living.
