Current Reading Book




     The book that I am currently reading is Generation One by Pittacus Lore. It is the new book in the Lorien Legacies series and I m not very far into it yet. The last book ended with the Loriens beating the Mogadorians on the Earth. Towards the end of this war, many humans got legacies. legacies are the powers that the Loriens have. This book so far is describing how they react to/treat these new special humans. They are giving them special places to train and they will soon become soldiers by about the age of 15.


     This series has been one of my favorite of all time but so far this isn't my favorite. The book usually switches telling the story from the different characters points of view. Usually I like that but the characters in this book do not seem to be as related yet and they all seem irrelevant. I don't like the way that they have not shown much of the old characters from the war that I had gotten attached too. I'm not that far into they book yet so hopefully it gets better but as of now I am kind of disappointed.

    Your book seems very interesting and it makes me want to read it. I like how you explained why you don't like the book, but also tell us how the book is building on from the previous book in the series.

    This is a great analysis on how the author tells the story. I hope that you enjoy the book more as you keep reading, but great job on this post!

Semester reflection

       This semester I have learned multiple things. The first of those is that you have to get a lot of sleep every night. You feel so much better in the morning so you can get to school on time. It also helps you to pay attention in class more and remember assignments which leads to better grades.        The second thing that I learned is that you have to check the calendar every night even when you are 99% sure that there is nothing you don't know about assignments. That brought my grade down a ton especially in Spanish. I lost many points in classes and that will not be happening during the second semester.      The most important thing that I have learned in the first semester is that time management is very important. Teachers in high school do not need to monitor everything you do to make sure you are on task. If you do not manage your time in class then you have more homework and you have no one to blame but yourself. ...

Research update

       My research topic for this project is the impact of Christopher Columbus. At first it was very hard to find the kind of information I was looking for but then I continued to find better articles that were more useful to my cause.  Ever since then everything has been going pretty smoothly. The annotated bibliography was very easy to do and it helped me analyze how I am going to answer my research question and what articles I am going to use to back up my answer.        I am still sort of nervous about the notecards but as I start to do them it will get easier. But having  just done three it is pretty easy to do considering the fact that I found some sources for information that I need. The research went well and the organization is still a bit stressful yet it is very easy.

Gun control

I am responding to a Newsday article written by Justin Haskins responding to the Las Vegas shooting and on the issue of gun control. Haskins makes the claim that strict gun laws will not work in this country as they already do not work. He also wants to explain why this will not work    " the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports enhancing gun-control laws, gave in its recent gun-control report card “F” grades (for having lax gun laws) to five of the six states that have the lowest homicide rates"(Haskins). Haskins points out here that there is correlation between having gun laws that aren't strict and having low homicide rates. He also points out that the six states of Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and West Virginia are the only states that have 50% of households that own firearms. He points out that  these states are among the top ranked for having the lowest homicide rates. He discusses how the statistics from cities that have ver...
