              Holes


  Holes is a movie about a kid named Stanley.Stanley  gets accused of stealing a pair of sneakers that was going to charity for them to sell. Really Stanley didn't steal the sneakers but, because of Zero, another boy, he is at Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is a dried up lake in the middle of a dessert where they make you dig holes five feet wide and five feet deep. It's Zero's fault because he needed new shoes but is homeless so he didn't have the money to but new ones. That's why he decided to take the ones at the charity.He didn't know it was a big deal though because he can't read so he couldn't read the name at the side of the shoes, which was the signature of a famous baseball player. That's how they both end up at Camp Green Lake. So they're both stuck digging holes in the hot sun with little to drink. Or are they?

 Holes is also a book, so if you like to read I suggest you read the book. Unlike most movies based on books the movie and book are almost exactly the same. I would suggest this book to you if you like mysteries,reality and adventurous stories. I really liked the book and movie so, if I had to rate it from 1-5, I would give it a  4 1/2. I would like to ask you a few questions before you leave my blog. 1. Did you like my post and if not tell me how I can make it better. 2. Would you like to dig in a dried up lake because you got framed for stealing shoes. And 3. Do you think you will read or watch Holes? If you do tell me how it was, did you like ti or not so much. I hope you do like it though cause it is a really good movie and book! Thanks and please tell your friends, family and anyone you know to come onto my blog! Bye! :)

School Uniforms  School Uniforms


 Should schools force kids to wear school uniforms? As you know some schools make kids wear uniforms but, others don't. Should that change? Should all schools make kids wear uniforms, or should all schools let kids wear what they want? Of course appropriate for school.          
 I think that schools shouldn't have uniforms that kids would have to wear everyday. Many kids across the world would not like it if they had to wear a school uniform. Thank the lord in heaven that I don't have to wear a school uniform.I think that wearing a school uniform is a bad idea because the school would be so boring with everyone wearing the same thing. Also it would be hard to tell who is who which might cause confusion during classes. What I mean by that is that if the teacher gets mixed up with who is who the whole class will get confused as well and then that will cause delay in the students learning. Sometimes I wonder why would a school would even force children to wear a boring uniform, I mean it's like were're in the military.

 That is just my opinion on the topic, so I would like to hear what you think, so please leave a comment. I would also like to hear what you thought of my post. If you didn't like my post please tell me how to make it better. Thanks for reading!:)




                                              
      Never Give Up


 Have you ever been told you couldn't do something you wanted to do, like what your dream job is? Well a lot of people have. In the movie Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith, Will Smith tells his child that he isn't going to be a professional basketball player because he wasn't good enough when he was his age. The only thing that did was crush his son's dreams and make him sad. I think that he was wrong to do that because just because you can't do something doesn't mean someone else can't. Also the person who was told that wouldn't go after their dreams at all. Then they will never know if he/she would ever accomplish their dreams.

 I know for a fact that no matter what someone tells you, you should go after your dreams and never give up. If you believe you can achieve! When ever someone tells you you can't do something,  just say that over and over if you start to feel that their right, because their not.  Everyone can do anything that they set their minds to.  I kind of had the opposite experience of what I am telling you  when I joined karate. I wasn't good at all when I first started karate but, I never gave up because other kids in the karate class told me with more practice you'll be as good as a black belt. I wouldn't have stopped taking karate classes but, they helped me work harder to get better.

 If you have had anyone tell you that you shouldn't try to accomplish your dreams tell me about it in the comment section. Also I would like to hear your thought about how my post, even if you didn't like it. If you didn't like it tell me how I can make it better. Thanks for reading my post.

                                            Good Luck Charlie

 If you are in the age range from 6-12 years of age, possibly older or younger, you have most likely heard of Good Luck Charlie. This is a TV show on Disney channel. It's about this baby named Charlie and her family. The reason they call it good luck charlie is because in each show there is a problem and at the end Teddy, Charlie's older sister, videotapes her and sometimes others giving advice about what happened and how to deal with it, and at the end She or others say "good luck Charlie." On the picture at the right is Amy, Charlie's mom, Bob, Charlie's dad, Charlie, Teddy, Charlie's sister, Gabe and PJ Charlie's older brothers ( PJ is older.) There are other character's not in the picture such as Ivy, Teddy's bff, Spencer, Teddy's boyfriend or at least was, Emit, PJ's bff and Mrs. Dalfny, there next door neighbor.

I think that this is a great show for children, especially for children ages 8-13, maybe even older. If I were to rate this show 1-5 I would give it a five. I gave it a five because it gives use full advise, Charlie is adorable and this show is entertaining to me. If you like funny realistic shows unlike New Jersey Shore than I think you would enjoy this show. Here is a link to Disney.com on the Good Luck Charlie part of it.

In your life you will have to have to have teamwork. Teamwork is important because if you work separately someone can do something wrong and that is going to hurt the whole group. Working as a team will help everyone in life because if I worked at MC Donald’s and if I was the only employee I would have to do a lot of work.  If I was the only employee I would collapse because of all the work! I would have to make the food, take orders, clean the trays and give the food to the right costumer. That is a lot of work for one person! That would result to burnt food, dirty trays, and mixed up orders. What I mean by mixed up orders is that if one person orders a hamburger and fries and another person orders a cheeseburger and a soda, one person would get a hamburger and a soda, while the other person gets a cheeseburger and fries.

So far in the apprentice (a school project) I have learned that teamwork makes things easier and that the more people you have in a group the more ideas the group will have to use. Also you can also blend to or more ideas together to get one great project. Another thing I have learned is that it is almost impossible to accomplish some things without a team to help. For example, it is hard to play a game of football without a team. Don’t you think that it would be hard to score if there is nobody on your “team” to pass the ball to and if a member of the other team gets the ball it would be hard to get it back. The main point of post is that teamwork is important for several reasons and it is a great thing to have! :) Please leave a comment in the comment section and in your comment please rate my post 0 - 5 stars, 5 being the best. If you didn’t like my post and you can tell me it’s not like I'm going to track you down, tell me what I can do better. Also feel free to ask me any questions you have about my post. :)

                   Having a Good Spirit

  For the past month or so my English class has been doing this little friendly competition called the apprentice. If you have read my blog post called Apprentice Week One, you know what the apprentice is. If you haven't the apprentice is a competition were there are four "companies"s, Apex ( my company ), Excel , Hydra and Synergy. We all do tasks and go to a board room meeting to present our work. C.E.O Mr. Poole and who ever else comes decides who will win. (C.E.O Mr. Poole is my teacher.)

  The task for last week was to think of places to advertise Spoole Cola in the categories audio ( radio, computer), video ( commercial ), unconventional ( public bus, movie commercials ) and print ( news paper, magazine) and then find info that proves that it is a good place to advertise Spoole cola. If you don't get what I mean when I said movie commercials, I meant that we put them before the movie. Each person would have to be in charge of one thing. I was in charge of audio ads. Each group also had a different target audience than the other three groups. My group's target audience was children ages three to nine. Since I have a ten year old brother I thought he would still be some good help finding out what websites he really liked. He told me Disney.com. I need more than that so I also went on the internet. The other three that I found was Nick.com, Club penguin.com and Pbskis.org. When the day came that we had to perform, Hydra won. I was very sad but I knew that my group still had a chance even though we haven't won a single board room meeting. It wasn't to bad though because my group  got 25 points for having a back up plan. We had a prezee ( a power point ) but it didn't work so we used our Google presentation. I know you might be saying that we are probably a bad group, but I know that Apex can win this and we will keep trying our best to do just that! We will win! Good luck to the other groups though.

  Feel free to leave a comment telling me how my post was even if you didn't like it. If you didn't like it tell me what I can change to make it better. Thanks for reading my post! :)

      Applications Are For My Parents Not For Me

 Should kids in middle school and high school have to apply for elective classes?
A Large School Bus - Royalty Free Clipart PictureIn case you don't know what a elective is it's a class like band, art, Spanish, etc.

  I'm in middle school and I know I wouldn't like to make a resume for a class like Spanish or art. I'm not good at art but, I would like to be and if I had to make a resume to take that class, I would never learn how to a good artist. Same thing with others, if they had to make a resume for a class they have no experience what so ever in they would never get in and they would never learn that certain thing they want to. Now that I think about it schools wouldn't be schools if students had to apply for a class they had no experience with. I can understand that schools want kids that have experience playing a instrument in band and orchestra but, it's not like the schools are going up against each other to see who has the best drawers. I know that I speak for all middle and high school students when I say that students shouldn't have to apply for elective classes.

 Some people might have different point of views depending whether the situation affects you or not but, I know that if you were in middle school or high school you wouldn't like the fact that you would have to apply for a certain class. Join the argument by leaving a comment with your thoughts on the topic. :)
