THIS IS HALF THE LIFE

My name is Derel. I have two brothers Ismael and Tyriq. We live on 141st street. My Mothers name is Kelly Williams. We got a new teacher his name is Mr.Hakwoker. Mr. Hakwoker is the worst teacher ever. He gives you homework and doesn't even teach us anything.

On Monday I went to school with my brother's and my cousin's Jared and Kevyn. We met Rya and Destiny at the park they are twins who are our friends . We told them we have a new teacher and he was teaching us social studies and he was from Europe. Kevyn said he was a terrorist trying to blow up the school . Jared said he was a killer and said he was killing little girls so that he could scare Destiny and Rya. Destiny and Rya said he was a sweet old man.

We go to FDA (Fredrick Douglass Academy). Our school is really crazy because it is really a lot of fun because we have different activities at our school including, lacrosse, basketball, baseball,tennis, volleyball,and swimming.

My brother's and I play every sport we can play. We all play the same sport we play basketball and lacrosse. The only reason why Tyriq plays lacrosse is because it is like football but you don't get to tackle each other.

HOLES

The book I am reading is called ''Holes". The part that I am reading is when Stanley ran off to find Zero. Stanley drove the whole truck into a hole. He tried to bring the water to Zero just in case he is alive. Stanley finds Zero when he is walking and he sees someone under a boat. They ate something that Zero called sploosh.

If Zero was my best friend like that I would have probaly went out to get him same as stanley did.

Homework

The book I read was holes. Stanley Yelnants is in middle school.Stanley looks like is in high school because he is so tall. Stanley gets teased alot because of his height.He got sent to camp green lake for on the charges of stealing Clyde Livingston's sneakers.

If I seen a pair of sneakers flying in they air I would have just left them alone instead of taking them cause you never now who they belong too.

The book I read was diary of a wimpy kid. Greg has turned into a safety patrol officer in school. He terrorizes the kindergarten with a stick with a worm with it and Rowley takes the blame. Rowley takes the blame because he does not know what is going on. So he is sad because he can't be in safety patrol anymore.

I would be real angry if I really loved that job and said it was not me that day I let Greg borrow my jacket.

HW#106

HW#84

I think alot of people have read this book because it's a goosebumps book and alot of children read goosebumps. They read it because it is a horror book which children can enjoy. They enjoy it because it might frighten you a little bit but it is still a little funny even if it is a horror story.

I would reccomewnd this book to people who enjoy things that are funny and things that are on scary I think that because kids like horror movies, shows, and probaly even books so that is how you know that. People like horror because horror gives fear and what is any thing without fear.

Books I would like to read is Percy Jackson " The Sea Monster" also " The Titans Curse" and "The Last Olympian". These books do not relate to the book I am reading now.

In the whole school year I have won 15 books in the whole school year

HW#71

One non-fiction book I have read was Mokee Joe: Doomsday. The book was about when a boy gets chased by a monster named Mokee Joe in three different books about Mokee Joe. Doomsday is finally when the boy fights Mokee Joe.

I read this book because it was a book that 3rd-5th grade had to read in my school. I really enjoyed this book because it was funny and had alot of action and also the people in the story were trustful.

I like non-fiction books better than fiction books because the fact that non-fiction has more action. I also like alot of action.

I would want to read about action non-fiction stories because there better.

HW#75

The story I read was " The Day the Fifth Grade Disappeared''. One foreshadowing example is when Julia Rose said she was going to when the Grand Prize and then she really did at the end of the story. Another sign of foreshadowing is when Julia Rose, Jeff, and Lori said that they were going to go into that gray building one day to see what was in there even if they get suspended and at the end of the story all three of them where in side of the gray building but Julia was the only one to explore it.

In my story there was no sign of symbolism.

A sign of a similie is when Jeff tries to make jokes. One joke was '' do you know why baseballplayers like to go to the park? the girls said give up then he said they enjoy the swings. Jeff tried another joke when Julia told them that they disappeared when they did not have anymore clues he said '' yeah, we'll plan to make the mystery disappear, while someone out there plans to make us disappear."

A sign of a metaphor is when the three of them were still working on the mystery. "Jeff said come on we'l walk down to the corner and see if her car is parked somewhere".Another is when Julia dissapeared she said " I had been sure that, if I could just disappear once Iwould find some clue but now that it happened I had to admit I did not learn anything.

If my story had a thesis it would have been " I knew I had to get help fast or else there might not be any big or little kids left at Sandhill Elementry School.

What I think would be good for me in 2010 is my work in class. I am going to do lots of things to improve. I want to improve more in math and science to get better grades. I would also like to stay on the honor roll. I would like to keep up both math and science grades.

I want my grades to increase higher so that I can be at the top of the honor roll. My new years resolution is to get good grades and still have fun. My resolution would have been impossible for me in 4th and 5th grade because I did not believe in myself. But know I am able to believe and understand possible things to me.

I believe I can do it because last year I did not do great because know I have to pay the price sitting in detention when I am supposed to be in the cafeteria with my friends.

The book I read was called "The Outsiders". Ponyboy and Toothpick are at the hospital and once Johnny died two days after Ponyboy got stepped up to on the frot of toothpicks car. It was four "Soc's" Ponyboy finished his Pepsi and busted it on the side of Toothpicks car. Then the "Soc's" ran away in there Mustang.

If my friend died I would act like that a little bit if I was in a situation like Ponyboy I would have probaly stabbed one of the "Soc's" if one tried to hit me.

Reading Response

The book I read was called " The Outsiders''. This book talks about a greaser named Ponyboy. He ran away because his brother hit him. He ran away with Johnny because his parent don't care about him. They go to Windrixville. That reason is because Johnny killed someone and now he has to leave town with Ponyboy. Ponyboy has to leave because he was with Johnny when he killed Bob. If Ponyboy gets caught him and Soda would get put in a boys home. So him and Johnny went to Windrixville and they cut there hair so they won't look like hoodlums.

If a situation happen to my like this I would probaly do this just to let the police calm down but just to know it was not me but I would stay away for a little while. So I could just come back then explain that did not do anything even though Johnny was dead I would still have to go to a boy's home because I would be very angry.

1. I think high school would be very different from middle school because of the work we have to do because it is a college prep school. I think it would be even harder.

Why children wear uniform

The reason why Kids in school wear uniform because pricipals do not want kids to get distracted by hwat they are wearing. Sometimes it is just to identify who are the children. But many schools have the same uniforms so they might uneasy to tell who is who. There are alot of people who were uniform. There are police, some teachers, school safety, firemen ..........

Some reasons why people want kids to were uniform is so they would spend less time picking out what they are going to wear. Also sometimes so that they could show school colors and look professional. Also some kids brag about who's clothing looks better they are just clothes does it really matter.

The book I read was Alcatraz and the Evil Librains. Alcatraz went to fight the evil librains with his grandfather and his body gaurd. So Grandpa Smedry gave Alcatraz some lenses. It had a laser and it could track foot prints. He asked his grandfather if it was the right thing to do to invade the evil librains.

I would have invaded the place just to get it ove with. But in some terms i would have not. I would have not because his powers were not fully controlled and he could not want to break he could only brake what he did'nt want to break.

HW #31

A song that reminds me of a time or place is "Aunt Jackie" my Jason Foxx. In his video he was on 116th. So that reminds me of a time when me and my uncle left church it got boring so we walked to Central park. We walked around to see people play baseball and some one hit it out of the park and I found it and when we got it and he took it from me and threw it in the pond.

Chicken Noodle Soup reminds me of when I am on 119th with my cousin playing basket ball and football.

Information on the African Burial Grounds

The African Burial Ground is impotant because diffrent peoples ansetors were there. Slavery was a wrong thing for blacks and was unfair. The reason why the African Burial Ground is important because people tried to hide it from us when it was found in 1991.



Although slavery ended in New York in 1827, slavery had been around a long time in Ney York. In the African Burial Ground there were black slaves. The occupants of the ABG were babies, women, children, and men.


Durirng the 1700 and 1800's the only role for blacks were to be slaves. At the ABG you can learn when and where slaves were buried. The slaves were buried in a place which is now called Wall Street.

In the African Burial Ground there are forty percent of children, which equals 149. There are 9 percent of infants which is probaly 66 or 70.The African Burial Ground is a fun place to go.
