Girl In a Cage

Everyday Life 1300

               The Girl in a Cage book is set in the in the middle ages or the medieval times. I learned that the times back then were very different. Women and children were treated very differently then men. It was a male denomination. Two classes, nobles and peasants divided the people.  The food they ate was mostly eaten with hands. The peasants weren’t very clean because there wasn’t much water for them, although the nobles had clean warm water warmed by fire.  It was all about money, the more money you had the better things you would get and the better quality clothes, food, and treatment. They were very religious they believed in God and that the devil wanted to harm them. I think that learning about what is going on in the book before we read it will help us understand the book better.

Casey at the Bat

In dance, you have shows and rehearsals and recitals. When dance teachers put you in the middle, or front, of the dance, most people behind you will watch you, because you’re the person in the front for a reason. I think that it puts a lot of pressure on that person because they feel that they have to get every move right because if they mess up the people behind them will mess up too.  Although, if we have faith in God, most of the time it won’t happen.

The Noble Experiment

Jackie was a wonder athlete as well as person. He had a wonderful personality and amazing characteristics, which anyone would want to follow. I think that if the athlete is a good person with a kind spirit and wisdom, then you should definitely think of him or her as a role model. It would be shallow to only judge them on performance because they may be the best athlete but the worst person on the inside. I think that we should all have a role model because it gives us a positive attitude and someone that we know we should be like.

Prejudice

Prejudice is cruel. The definition for prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason, any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable, unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, especially of a hostile nature, regarding a racial, religious, or national group, such attitudes considered collectively: The war against prejudice is never-ending, and damage or injury detriment: a law that operated to the prejudice of the majority. Prejudice still exist today it is down the street and half way across the world. Prejudice is unnecessary because we are who we are and God made us all. One thing in life you have to learn is tolerance and that’s what prejudice takes.

Goals

My first goal is an academic goal I would like to do better on my Wordly wise tests. In order for me to obtain my goal is to pay attention and study more, but retain what I study so that I will get better grades on my test. My goal should be met by the end of the month so that my grade stays at an A all the time.

       My second goal is my spiritual goal. My goal is to read the Bible more often and pay more attention in church so that I can hear the word of God making me a closer to God. I think in order to meet my goal I would have to make time for it because if I don’t make time for it then the goal will not happen. I think my goal will be met by the end of the year because it will give me time.                 

     Finally, my third goal is my social goal. My social goal is to mso-bidi-font-family:"KG Skinny Latte"">be Nice to everyone even though I might not know them or want to talk to them and be more patient with people so that I can get to know them. I would like to meet this goal by the end of the year. My three goals are set and I plan to follow them out through the new year of 2012.

Chapter 1

I walked by a very old Antique house and saw a red flicker then nothing. I was scared so I ran as fast as I could back to my apartment building on 54^th street. When I got home the phone rang and so I picked up the phone and there was a recording that said, “ Come to your front door and you will receive a message.” It was very peculiar that on a Friday night this strange message would appear because two days ago my sister went missing two days ago.

My name is Talia Animat. I am 15 years old. I live in Manhattan, New York in an apartment complex on 54^th street. I live with my mom and I used to live with my sister until she went missing two days ago. I was in 7^th period at around 2:15 I got a call from the police that told me that Mia Animat went missing at around 2:13 pm. I called my mom and my mom said, “ I know sweetie.” After the phone call I had disturbing nightmares about Mia being killed. “Talia what is 7ax-2b9?” umm, ummm. “ I see miss Talia, pay more attention,” said Mr. Crawfid. When the bell rang I was happy to go home. I got a call from my friend Kailyn and asked if I could go to the mall with her. So I called my mom and she said it was ok. I went to the mall and we looked in stores then got something to eat at the food court. It was really crowded and stuffy. Kailyn and I tried to get out of the food court as fast as we could. When we walked out of the mall we saw Chanel eating ice cream so we stopped and talked for about 15 minutes and left the mall.

I was walking home after Kailyn dropped me off where the nearest streetlight was and walked home. The side of the sidewalk I was on was crowded with bushes. I saw a strange flashing light coming from the bush so I tried to run but it seemed it was following me. I decided to go ahead and take a look at the light blue envelope with no address. Inside the envelope said you know who took me. I ran straight home and locked the doors. My mom was eating a green unripe banana and watching X factor. I got home and showed her the note. When my mom read it she said it sounded familiar so she told me not to mind it. When I went upstairs to my room I sat on my bed and thought. I was thinking about were my sister could be because of these strange notes and signs. My mom called for dinner downstairs. We had collard greens, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes with a very sour lemonade. When we were finished I cleared the table and ran back up the stairs. I got upstairs and 106 and park was on so I sat down and watched it. It lasted about and hour and so when I was done I started on my homework. In the middle of my 14^th math problem I got a call from an unrecognized number. I didn’t pick up at first but they called again so when I picked up I asked who it was. It sounded like a man although I could’ve been wrong. I asked again and they said it was the grocery store manager, Byron. Our family was very close to Byron because he helped us put up missing posters when my dad went missing. Byron had driven me to school before so he knew my mom’s license plate. He said it had driven by earlier.

                    The library of the Future

I would design the library of the future to be where we would have nook and kindles and I touches and I phone with the library app. It would be very colorful but not to colorful because some kids are distracted easily and bright colors would be distracting, but the colors in the library make you want to fall asleep and colors would make you stay up. Also if you knew the title and the author you would say the name into a microphone on a computer and it would have the book on the screen and then fall out of the computer screen. Instead of having to wait in long lines for check out, you would walk up to the door and it would scan your whole body would vibrate and then the doors would open. I also would have a little store inside where you could get accessories to decorate your personal nook or kindle and buy bookmarks or make some.

I would inspire reading on clouds because sometimes when you read you can dream at the same time and get a better understanding or thoughts about the book. There would also be a quiet room, which would be a tree house where you could go and do anything, because of its sound barriers so that you can’t hear anything.

If that were possible I would love going to the library even more.
