If I could change one thing about the world, I would change the fact that the Christian population is getting smaller and smaller. I would want to go around the world and try to get people to see Jesus. I can see myself doing this by one peron at a time. Even just saving one person will make a huge difference in Heaven. Learning about people’s cultures and historical time periods really help set the right mind for this. First, you would want to get to know the person, maybe relate the story of Jesus to their culture, and make them feel comfortable. If you realize that some people have incredibly hard lives, or know that they are on a bad path, will make you more motivated to make a difference.

This article tells about the Boston bombing. This was a terrible tragedy, and came out of no where. This event will go down in American history. None of the bombing and deaths would have happend witout religeous influence. He was a Muslum religious extremist, and wanted to bomb America. Since he was part of a religious extremist group, he ended up doing what he did.

I think that there is a diffeernce between religion and spirtuality. Spirituality is the general belief in something like God or other religious things. Religion is a specific belief in something, such as Chritianity, Judaisism, Islam, and other religions. Most people are spiritual, but that doesnt mean most people are Christians. People may be spiritual, but may not have the same religion as you.

I learned that the Middle Ages is VERY different than today. It was also a very tragic time for some, with all the diseases and deaths. The Middle Ages is pretty interesting to learn about as well. They didn't have the luxuries we have today. Their medicines, weren't as good, and the surgeries almost always ended in death. Life has definetly gotten much better over the years.

                                          Culture

Tony Wyche

Culture to me is a lifestyle. It’s how people live their lives. Culture is more than just doing things; its how you do them, when you do them, if you do them. Cultures have traditions, holidays, and celebrations. Like I have Christmas while other have Hanukah. There are hundreds of different cultures, all with different lifestyles, so which one are you?

                                                          Hunger Games Summary

I just read the Hunger Games, and it’s theme is overcoming obstacles. It is about a girl named Katniss, and she was chosen for the Hunger Games. At first her little sister, Prim, was chosen, but Katniss volunteered as a substitute. They go through a very dangerous game, and yes, people do die. The game is a fight-to-death game. You must be able to avoid being killed and survive. There is no mercy, so you must be careful. The theme is overcoming obstacles, so who will win the game? Read the books to find out!

The Battle of Methven

by Tony Wyche 

            The battle of Methven started when Robert Bruce killed John Comyn in a church in Dumfries. This took King Edward I by complete surprise, so he sent out an army of 3,000 to capture Bruce. He also sent out one of his best generals, Aymer de Valence. He was told to kill Bruce and show no mercy to him. Bruce barley escaped and ran away to the Scottish Highlands with a few others.

Casey at the Bat

            In this poem, a baseball team is down and the game is almost over. Then, Casey steps up to the bat. Then everyone depended on him to win the game. First Strike 1, the 2, and finally, “Strike Three! You’re Out!” If you do something like that, you feel like the team lost because of you, and you never want to face them again. You feel like you life is over. It’s not over though, because you always have next time! 

       All athletes should be role models, and we should not judge them by their athletic ability. Not everybody is good at sports, and they don't have to be to be a good role model. Anyone could be arole model, if they are very good or very bad. It isn't bad to be good at something, just don't think your better than everybody else. Set an example to people so they can learn to be good too.

What Settings Can Prejudice Sometimes Be Found?

            Prejudice can be found at schools. Kids can be very unfair to other kids, because they are not “popular” or “cool”. God made us all equal, we are all the same. Kids (or even adults) will leave other out because they don’t like them or they thing they are better than them. People are treated unfairly every day, and we should try to stop it at our school.

Goal Setting 2012

            I have three goals I would like to make. The academic goal is to be more prepared in school. I have to really get it together and make sure I have everything and have done everything before I get to school. I want this goal to be made by April at the latest. My spiritual goal is to get a lot closer to God. I need to pray more and realize what he has done for me. I want this goal to be made by the end of this school year. My last goal, the social goal, is to let more people in my life. I need to be more flexible with them, and I want to make this goal very soon.  

Linn Yang

By Tony Wyche

            Linn was a slave in a very poor country, but she had the opportunity to live with another family. The family that took Linn and her family were the Thrashes. She changed from a poor slave to a happy girl. When she first stepped into America, she didn’t speak any English. A few years later, she won the spelling bee. This movie is called The Girl Who Spelled Freedom. She was a really good speller, and she became free.

The Super Monkey

Chapter 2

            “Man, those were good!” he said. The whole family was fat now! What are we going to do?” said the dad. “We have to find out how to lose weight. Let’s ask the monkeys next door, they might know how.” They walked over to the front door and knocked. “Who is it?” a voice answered. “It’s your next door neighbors.”  they said. The door opened and out came Mrs. Monkey. “Hello, how can I help you?” “We need to lose weight.” They replied. “Oh, that’s no problem, but it might take awhile. “That’s fine, as long as we lose a little weight.”

            “Ok, let’s get started!” said Mrs. Monkey. “Let’s do some sit ups.” “Do we have to?” they complained. “Yes, we do. It may be hard but it works wonders for your body.” “Fine,” they said. The dad did ½ of a sit up, the mom did 1 sit up, and super monkey did 5,000,000,000. He may be fat, but he does still have super powers. He had already lost 10 pounds! “Wow, you are good at losing weight!” Mrs. Monkey said. “Now lets work on your parents weight. This is NOT going to be easy.

            “Come on! You can do at least 1! Right?” They only had done ½ of a sit up, and they have been working on it for 30 minutes! “We can’t do it!” they both groaned. “Yes you can, just believe in your self!” Suddenly, they lifted them selves up and did a sit up. “Ok we did one, now can we go have some more bananas?” “No, try to not eat for the next few days, just have water. “What! We might starve!” “No you won’t. The body can survive 1 week without food. As long as you have water you will be fine.” “ Uhh!” they groaned. Then they went to work on their second sit up.

            It was the second day of working out. They hadn’t made any progress, and they were very stubborn. “Do we have to?” they would always ask. “Yes you do!” she would always reply. Mrs. Monkey felt like quitting, but she was determined not to give up. “Ok, lets do something easy, like jumping jacks! You can do those, right?” “Maybe,” they said, “This may not be good though!” They jumped, and when they landed, they busted through the floor and fell to the basement!” “Ouch! That’s going to hurt in the morning!” said Mrs. Monkey. “I agree!” said the super monkey.

            They weren’t seriously injured, but they did have a few broken bones. The mother had a broken arm and leg, and the father had a broken rib and foot. “Well, I’m actually pretty happy I broke some bones, because now I don’t have to work out!” said the mother. “No, actually you can still do sit ups.” Uhhh!” said the mother. “However,” Mrs. Monkey said, “Mr. Monkey cannot work out.” “Yes=http://” said the father.” “What! That’s not fair!” “Well, I’m sorry. Life isn’t fair at all!”

The Super Monkey

Chapter 1

One day, a monkey was walking along the woods, and suddenly, he tripped into toxic waste and got super powers. He could fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, and summon bananas from the trees. “I can’t wait to tell my friends, they will be so jealous!” said the monkey. Later, the monkey got a little carried away with his powers, and started burning down trees and eating ALL bananas. He ate so much, he looked a little like Harry the Hippo. His mom didn’t even recognize him when he got home! “May I help you?” his mother asked. “Mom, it’s me! Don’t you recognize me?” “No.” she replied. “Did you eat my son?! You do seem very fat.”

It did take a long time to prove he was her son. She finally believed him when he told her things only he would know. “How did you get so fat?” she asked. “Well… I jumped into toxic waste and got super power. I have the power to summon bananas from the trees. “You do?” she asked curiously. “Maybe you can get ME some bananas!” “Sure!” he said, and soon bananas came flying in the house.

Soon after that, his mom got fat! She looked like Ricky the Rhino! When his father came home, he thought that two monkeys had eaten his family! “What have you done to my family!” he asked. “We are your family!” “Oh yea, prove it! When is my birthday?” he questioned them. “October 11.” they said. He believed them now. “How did you get so fat?” “Our son fell into toxic waste and got super powers! He can summon bananas from the forest!” “Well then,” he said. “Can I have some bananas?” Then the super monkey summoned the bananas and they came flying in.

How I Would Design A Library In The Future

By Tony Wyche

            If I could design a library in the future, I would make mine have lots of different kinds of books. I would organize them by reading level, so it would be easier to pick out a book that is right for you. Also, I would also have iMacs in the library, so you can either find a book or research a book. That would make it easier to find a good book, because sometimes it is hard to find one.

         It would also be pretty cool if the library had robot employees. They could also help you find a book. They even could read your mind and recommend a book that you would enjoy. The last thing I would put in my library of the future is comfortable chairs and couches. That would make the library AMAZING!!! They people in the library would have a comfortable place to read (or sleep).

            I would allow people to sit anywhere in the library. I would stock the library with lots of choices of books, so everyone could have and like a book. I would have the option of either checking out a book or buying a book. That would be pretty cool. If they chose to check a book out, they would have to return it when 3 weeks has gone buy, so they would have enough time to read it. If the book is late, I would charge $1 each day it is missing. That seems fair since they had so much time to read it and return it. Also, if you miss treat a book, you would have too either buy that book or replace it. That is how I would design my library of the future.

My name is Tony, but if it could be anything, it would be Scott or Brandon. Both of them are cool, so it could be either one. I wouldn’t want to switch names though, because Tony is the name God gave me, and I am happy with that name. My name defiantly would not be Harry (Harry Potter), because enough people call me that already. At first, it wasn’t so bad. But because I’ve been called that since 1^st grade, it gets really annoying! Anyway, Scott or Brandon would probably be the name for me if I had to pick a different name.

What is Prejudice?

            I think that prejudice means the act of disliking things. Or it may mean to not like something. Someone can feel prejudice to someone else. It is not good to feel that way to someone else. It can also be an action that can result or may result in action. It can also be an opinion that is not real. Someone can spread a prejudice rumor about someone. That has happened lots in my life. People have told me to pass a prejudice rumor. Sometimes, I am tempted to spread it, but I don’t. I always try to stop the prejudice rumor. Some of them are worse than others.

            I have also seen people that have prejudice beliefs. They either believe in no god or many gods. Some don’t believe that Jesus is the son of God. Those are all prejudice beliefs. I believe in the right opinion. That there is only one God and Jesus is the son of God. People may think I have a prejudice belief, but they are wrong. The way of God is the right way.

Life also wouldn’t be very easy without my teachers. Without them, I wouldn’t learn anything. Then I wouldn’t have enough knowledge to have jobs in the future. That would effect my life a lot, so I am blessed to have teachers this good.

Last, but not least, life would stink without my friends. They do so much for me. Like keeping me company, cheer me up, or help me with things. I am glad I moved to Georgia, because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have all the good things I have now.
