Do Now: Quotes

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Anne Frank said this quote. Because she said this quote, it made this quote more meaningful. I think Anne Frank was being sarcastic when he said this quote. She is basically saying that if someone wants change and wants to improve the world, then need to stop wasting time ad actually start to make the improvements!!!

Do Now "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I think this statement means that if you want a change in the world you need to start with yourself. You need to be a leader and let people follow you into the right path. If you lead others to make a positive change than most likely they will follow that path and make a positive change too.

My Opinion On the School Article

I do not agree with Dr. Ackerman's plan for the school system. This is not a good plan because it is going to run the middle-class families out of the city. If a student deserves and earned the place of attending that school, they should be allowed. I am for funding the neighborhood schools and everything, but the school system should remain the way it is.

My reflections on HAITI

I watched the video and found it to be very sad. I wish that I could help them more than what my family already done , but there is not much that I can do . My family sent money to them like a week ago, and we are gathering clothes and water together so we can send down. I even sent 5 dollars through a text commercial so that they can have more money for medical needs.

How my year been so far . . . . .

So far this school year has been alright. The beginning was good but towards the end of the semester I began to get stressed. NHD took a toll on me , and I feel as though it was too much.

Huckleberry Finn Beyond the Line Essay

Do you think Huckleberry Finn would be able to survive in Philadelphia?

I honestly think that Huckleberry Finn would be able to survive in Philadelphia. I simply believe this because he is smart, has a good imagination and can quickly adapt to new surroundings. Huckleberry has the qualities of being able to live Philadelphia.

Huckleberry is very smart. When I say smart I don't exactly mean braniac smart, I mean common sense smart. Huck knows how to make his way around quickly and he knows how to search for food and other survival things. In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain Huck was kidnapped by his father Pap, and Huck had common sense to escape once the father was drunk and passed out. Huck knew that he wasn't going to be able to live with his father so he had common sense to leave him.

One particular thing reason why I think Huckleberry would be able to survive in Philadelphia is because he has a good imagination. The reason why I think he has a good imagination is because back when the book was written there wasn't televisions or radios, etc., and if he was to come to Philadelphia he already would be use to not doing those type of things and he would be ready to find a job, and he will be ready to learn how to stay on his feet.

The last reason why I think that Huck will be able to survive in Philadelphia is because he can adapt to almost any surrounding or climate. In the book, Huck was living with the widow and he learned how to adjust to her lifestyle and the things she told him to do, and when Pap kidnapped him, he learned how to live with his father and adapt to his lifestyle. So if Huck was to come to Philadelphia I think that he would be able to adapt easily and quickly and get the hang of how Philadelphia works.

Therefore, I think that Huckleberry Finn would be able to survive in Philadelphia because he is smart, has a good imagination, and can adapt to almost any surrounding. If Huck can survive in Philadelphia, do you think that you would be able to survive in a diffrenet city, state, or even a country?

REFLECTIONS OF OBAMA WINNING

I am extremely happy to know that Barack Obama won to be president of the United States. This means a lot to me.
