Brian's Winter

Brians winter

When I was a little kid, about 6 or 7 years old, every time that I went in a store or something like that, every time I would get lost. For example: one time I was at the IGA my mommy would look around for food while I was not paying attention to her and then I would get lost. Then I would scream mommy and also tell to myself that in a few minutes everything would be back to normal. When people get lost they start panicking, and this boy survived a big adventure. And by the way he was only 13 years old. He was a very intelligent and strong. Not only strong physically but strong in himself, his heart. He believed in himself, that he would survive a that he would get rescued one day. A few months or even years to think of his big and stressful adventure but eventually he will get use not to think about it but he still will remember this big adventure.

Accidents like this is normal, there will always be people that get lost and have big bid life experience like Brian. The ones who loved that person will never forget them and if, if that person comes back, it will be a moment of respect and love for them. When this person will have activities like vacations, have fun with friends and family. The situation will eventually disappear of their minds. And in his adventure he still learned something, he learned how to use special tools and how they work. He also learned how to act in winter without warm clothing. I don’t know how a big life experience like this one felts but I know that it must be a struggle and hard to survive and all of this desast for him. Learning how to use tools like a hatchet, wood, light and many other objects, is very important.

Finland Hockey Team visits

The two grande six classes got to interview Pee Wee hockey players from Finland. We got to ask questions to them and they got to ask question to us. After the interview we noticed that we have many things in common with them. Both classes got to go outside and play with the Finland boys. When the game was finished we went inside to drink a hot chocolate and eat maple syrup cookies, yummy! The Finland coaches gave us chocolate bars and angry bird lollipops. Almost all of the Finland boys had blond hair and blue eyes. We had a great time discovering different king of people and different language. It was a great experience.

Another Take on the Giver

THE GIVER

          Why do we learn about the past? Why do we have emotions? Sometimes people ask themselves these questions. They ask ‘What’s the use?’ I think this book was written to remind us of those answers. Humans and animals are alike; however we have the capability to learn, to learn beyond our own life, to learn from the past. We also feel things animals don’t. We have emotions and memories, that’s what makes us special, that’s what makes us human. In the book nobody had emotions or memories, except for one, because they are too scared of the pain. However I think that the painful emotions are worth it for the fun emotions. Those characters never got to live happy emotions like love happiness etc... I think it’s sad not to have the emotions that are worth living for. If you don’t have emotions, what’s the point of living?

          Choices. In this book people couldn’t have their choices; the chiefs would decide everything, their jobs, clothes, bicycles, hair etc... The chiefs are like the government, they decide everything. However they still let us have choices, like our jobs. They still make world guidelines (rules) so it doesn’t get out of control; the whole world has the same rules like no murder; the countries have different rules, like slavery in Canada is not permitted; provinces have their own rules, law 101 where you have to have special permission to go to an English school in Quebec; cities also can have simple different laws, like you have to have one type of roof. However our society lets us have some freedom unlike the government in the book. The sad part was that everybody had to be as smart and all the same as everybody. The problem is that everybody learns differently and is different. If a baby wasn’t learning right, then they would kill him. A society shouldn’t have the right to do that. It’s prejudice, just like the holocaust. The Nazi party thought that people had to be like them (not Jewish) or they would kill them. Everybody is person and has the right to live no matter how we are. Difference isn’t bad either. Differences attract.  

         Change, when you want change you have to do it yourself. Don’t wait for others to do it. Jonas wanted people to feel and learn what he had known because he had the job to keep the memories and the past. People hadn’t known what love is and he wanted that to change. He sacrificed himself so other people could learn what he had. Jonas had sacrificed himself for a whole year because he had to endure all of the pain possible on his own. He left so that it could be a life we have now (2013) with some joy in life. The people could not see the color, which represents not having joy in life. Jonas made a change because he wanted to. If we don’t want war, or something else, we can change that

                      

You say people are different,

You’re different

You call people names,

I can call you names

You say people have to be like you,

I say they don’t

You say we don’t need emotions,

I say what’s the point of living?

You say we don’t need to learn,

I say then let’s just forget the past!

You say it’s too hard to make choices

I say choices make us who we are

You say what’s the point of living?

I say to have fun, accomplice everything you want and have fun

The Hobbit

I just finished reading the graphic novel version of the Hobbit.  The dwarves wanted to get revenge on the dragon because, many years earlier, they built a throne, a mansion, and Smaug, the dragon, stole all the gold and other treasures.

The dwarves' plan was to get a hobbit to act as a burglar, and get through the adventure safely in order to get their mansion back with all the gold and jewels.  The dwarves and the hobbit met many characters on their journey such as goblins, trolls, a leaf king, men, and spiders. In the end, they got what they wanted, but they paid a great price.  Thorin, the dwarf king, died during the adventure.

I think the dwarves did the right thing because they had found all the treasures to begin with and worked hard to build the mansion.  Thorin died happy knowing he was working to get the dwarves back their things.  The story is not just about getting revenge on Smaug, but about getting justice for the hard work the dwarves had done.  The were other people in the village who had lost their homes.  When the tragedy happened, the people got sad and depressed because some of the people close to them died and they would never see them again.  When the dwarves killed Smaug, the people in the village were happy because there would be no more fear that the dragon would attack.  Smaug was wrong to steal the items from the dwarves.  Smaug hurt people, burned down the village, and was greedy.

In our world, people sometimes rob banks, steal from cars and houses, and rob stores.  Other people do vandalism for no reason.  People work hard to get their money and other people shouldn't steal it or other people's things.

Sometimes people do bad things with their lives.  They have to pay back money and they get scared so they do desperate things.
