Sketches Discussion #4!

Hello Bloggers! Warm welcome to Karran, Arianna, Andrianna, Hannah, Sara and Melissa! This week, the amazing Hannah and I are hosting the discussion for the incredible book "Sketches." Again Eric Walters surprises us with the unexpected! Who ever knew Brent could be gay, or questioning? Who ever knew Ashley could be a sweet, soft girl to Dana? Who ever knew ASHLEY would want to also feed Pumpkin. (The stray cat)

Who also knew Dana would cut herself?! So fellows, why do you think Dana cuts herself? (Don't read ahead or skim-read!) Well we all know she cuts herself to forget the pain she's been through, right? But what kind of pain do you think she's trying to escape?  (Home or the streets?) And if you were in Dana's situation, what would you do to forget about your past?

Now we also found out that Brent is gay or questioning. Do think Dana is going to act strange around him and make him feel different? Or is she going to act normal like nothing happened? Or is she going to ask him or confront him?

We've been doing great guys! Let's keep this discussion juicy and thoughtful!

SOLE presentation.

Hi Bloggers!

This is our SOLE presentation about Plagiarism on the Internet. So here's three things I want you to keep in mind. First of all, plagiarizing isn't really fun. You are just proving that you can't do your own work and you don't have the ability to learn by yourself! Second of all, don't rely on other author's work, because it's not always reliable. And you can always get caught if it seems that this work isn't your level or work or abilities. Third of all, when you get to high school, getting caught plagiarizing can get you a suspension or even expelled from school. So don't plagiarize and be safe!

If I had a $100

In this assignment, we were asked to imagine that we have a 100 dollar and chose that which organization we would donate to. I chose GIRL EFFECT!

Here are the reasons I chose this organization. First  of all, all girls who are suffering from AIDS and HIV and poverty and pregnancy without their consent should have the rights to their bodies just like I do and most of the girls do. Second of all,  me myself, I wouldn't like to be one of those girls. So I am not just going to stand there and watch them suffer. Right? So If I had a $100, I would donate them toward girl effect. I would donate the whole $100 to train 15 girls in HIV/AIDS peer education.

It is really important for those girls to learn about what they're going through and how to prevent it. And they have the right to be educated like we do. In addition, there should be a balance in this life where everyone is living equally and treated the same and have the same right as everyone else.
