My thoughts on NBTT

        I think that the book was very interesting in my perspective. However, I think that the strategy that Ms. Stewart on Ms. Narwin took get information was pretty down right evil. Especialy when she started making the story way bigger then it should have been. To think this all started from Philip humming a song we know and love entitled The Star Spangled Banner in class. This racked Ms.Narwins mind and made her mad. He just kept humming in class and was being distructive to the students vital education is what is running laps around Ms.Narrwins studios brain. As viligant as ever, the media springs for thier chance for publicity and fame and attack the story that will atract world wide readers like a moth to the brightest of flames. The bedlam that the media caused was just simply umbelievable. The ending of the story was somewhat histarical and stupid at the same time...but I won't spoil the surprise.

Review on: Nothing but the truth (NBTT).

    The book, Nothing But The Truth, is about a ninth grader in high school who, with great animosity, dislikes Ms.Narwin. The girl who Philip seems to entice, Allison, says that Ms.Narwin is a really good teacher. Basically, what happens is that Ms.Narwin, Philip's English teacher, sends him out of the room for being disrespectful during the Star Spangled Banner. This eventually happens twice and, Philip is suspended for two infractions. But, of course, the story leaks out as something completely different.

    In the story, the reporter, Jenifer Stewart interviews Ted Griffen, a man running for school board, only to find out about his recent conversation with Mr.Malloy. She finds out that Philip has been suspended for singing the Star Spangled Banner. What the reporter doesn't know is, there is a rule that states to be quiet during the Star Spangled Banner. Also, two times he disrespected his teacher, Ms.Narwin, by talking back. To facilitate this situation, instead of finding out the whole story, she only publishes Philip's story.

    I only had one or two problems with this book. First, the ending (ha ha first, the ending .) The ending is, when Philip is asked to sing The Star Spangled Banner, at his new school, he begins to cry. First of all, what happens in his new school? Does he make new friends, does he get a girlfriend, how about his English teacher now, does he hate her? I guess the author is leaving that open for the next book... Also, what’s with the whole “crying because he doesn't know a song? I mean, I know it's funny but, I don't really get it.

    Another thing that I didn't get was, why was he so mad at Ms.Narwin. I mean, was it some kind of Strategy to get back at her for what she did, teach a boring book? I don't see that being her fault. If anything that would be the schools. You'd also wonder why Allison didn’t try to convince Philip to like Ms.Narwin, I mean they are going out right? Anyway, once you get over those two problems, this is actually a really good book.

What i would do if someone is destructive

People who are destructive...Like my brother, I would just tackle him down, But if its some one i hardley know, i would just tell them to stop or else they wont be able to play or do whatever they like. Just like adults. If they see your report card or progress report, or just something saying you were bad, they would take what is most valuable to you. Like for me, its the COMPUTER! I would just yell to them or calm them down with a treat. IF THEY DESTROY WHAT I LIKE.... I would tell there parents and they would be grounded and will have to pay for the damage. jaja just kidding i would just make them pick it up and if its broken they or there parents will have to fix it.

Career

    My career that I am going to try to do is a pro football, baseball, or basketball player. But I have a second idea. If this dosn't work out I would try to do something involveing skateboarding because I really like it. I guess I'd open a shop with a skatepark in the back. My shop would have thing like boards, trucks, wheels, pads, stickers, griptape, and tutorial tapes on how to get started doing tricks. I would probaly have a summer camp on it. In my shop I would also have things like the tools, screws, and i think they are called juggernuts.

What I want to be when I grow up.

    

    What Jessica is trying to say is, from where you are, there is a-lot of work in between then and now. So, if you want to be a computer scientist you have to get good grades, you have to learn about computers when you are a bit older and then you have to find the job. If you want to be a teacher, you have to be good with kids, you have to be good with the subject you teach and you have to get good grades in class. So basically where you are now and where you want to be depends on who you are. For example, I want to be either a Gymnast or a runner when I grow up.

     Well, gymnastics is a pretty good career. No academic requirements are needed. The only problem is, if you aren't a good gymnast, you might as well not try out because, a-lot of requirements are needed. Only 6 men are chosen for the men's team, same with the girl’s team. Out of all the US this is a very small number. For trampoline only one women and one man are chosen to be on the team. So, basically, how you get started is to find some kind of club that is a USGA member. This is how you get recognized to be one of the six people on the team. But, it’s not just fun and games once you find the club, you have to progress 10 levels through all the flips and, once you’re at that level you then try to qualify as something called and elite. Like I said before odds are thin to make it into the Olympics but, if you’re good enough, you might as well try. This is the link to the website I got my information from.

     Well, if you run you have to be really good at it because, if you’re not good enough to get to the Olympics, almost no money can be made out of it. To be a runner, first of all you have to be fast enough to get into the Trials. That isn't that hard, if your fast enough, because, unlike gymnastics, you can get a scholarship for running so, as long as you’re at a good school, you'll be able to make it in. once you get through the Trials, you’re in the Olympics. In conclusion, that is, hopefully, my future occupation.

 

    

 

My future career

    In Jessica H graphic organizer she is showing what you are now, what you need to do to be able to apply to your dream job, and you being in your dream job. I want to become a veterinarian when I grow up. To get to be a veterinarian you must have 3-4 years of vet. school,training, Ph.D, J.D, or a M.D. You must also need to graduate colledge with a B and up in biology, general science and math.          Once I get to where I want to be in life to become a veterinarian, I would need to keep animals calm during a procedure, be able to make incisions carefully to an animal, conduct and find the source of an ailment or disease that an animal has. To help prepare myself for this career I would need to keep a  B to an A average in school, I can research different kind of animals every weekend. I could also hangout with my pets and see how the react to different things in there life. I will work hard to try to achieve my goal and have fun while doing it. ^_^

My baseball team By, Charles W

       My baseball team, the Braves, had our first practice. IT was actually pretty fun because since I'm in my last year I'm considered a "Senior". All I had to do was demonstrate the drills but, other than that I practically did nothing. At the end we play this game called, "The circle drill". How this game works is, there are two coaches in the middle, and both of them have baseballs. one by one they knock kids out by throwing the ball, and, if he doesn't make a clean catch, he is out.

    Half way through the practice, my coach realized that I wasn't doing anything so, he had me evaluate the players. Now, don't get me wrong, almost all of the kids were good except this one kid. Not to be judgmental but, the kid couldn't throw halfway from the pitcher's mound to home plate. Other than him, I think our team might actually have a shot at winning the championships this year. The only problem is, the other teams already had three or four practices. This is a problem because, even though our team is good, most of the kids are young, so we need the practice.

    During my games is the best part of the whole season. My mom brings in sunflower seeds and these candies called Sweidish Fish, they are amazing! I mostly play center in the outfield because, last year we had a lot of infielders. Now I'm sure any of you people have seen at least one movie about kids fooling around in the outfield, picking grass, playing with sand, you can't do any of that. Especially at my position, your involved in almost every sing play. For example, it's a hit to second base, I have to be there to back the guy up. In conclusion, I'm almost positive we can win this years championship.

♫♪My Favorite Kind Of Music♪♫

I go with what everyone else goes with because you can tell its most popular and now you see what most people like. I didn't copy anyone but it lets you know what you should listen to. I listen to some R&B, Hip Hop, Pop rock or Rock. Everyone has there own favorite kind of music. Some songs may sound cool but really aren't. If you listen to the meaning there saying... You know what the song is about now.

So the songs that i like i put them on my phone and listen to them whenever im bored or when its completely silent(mostly when im outside or in the bus)!  People mostly just jam out and get an idea of a song... What i hate is that everyone thinks a song is old (because it came out a couple months or years ago) they stop liking it.

 I play guitar and im pretty good at it. My cousin has a band and he said i can be in it, as guitarist. He plays guitar also but its alot better with 2 guitarist. Lots of bands like ... Dragon force,all american rejects, system of a down, disturbed, and other bands like that have 2 guitarist. Alot of singers make songs and release them all in the same moth and then they dont have any more ideas and no more hits. They become so un-popular and then people just dont listen to them.

Those artist are people like Ne-Yo , Chris Brown, lil wayne, and others like that. Please comment and tell me what your favorite kind of music is!
