4/27/2009...ms. Bentleys class

ANGEL GONZALEZ

Look at today's Do Now, do you feel racism still exists? In what ways does racism exists? Have you ever experienced racism? In what ways have you experienced racism? Does Steve Harmon experience Racism? i still think that rasicim exist because when black and hispanic walk by white people they whisper to themselves. I have never experienced racism in my life. Steve harmon has experienced racism cause in court they are saying cause he is guilty because he is black. And O'BRIEN said that he is young and black and he is on trial.

Do you think there is racism in our country's court system? Can a minority get a fair trial? Why or why not? Do you think Steve Harmon will get a fair trial? Why? Why Not? How do you think O'Brien feels about the Jury they selected for Steve's trail? I think that my countries court system their is racism. I think that steve would not get a fair trial only because he is black and young. I think that O"BRIEN feels bad because they are doing this because he is young and black.

Why do you feel some people think that our country's court systems are racist? Why do you feel there are more black men in jail than college? i think that our countries court system us rasist because
71 judges are black, 19 are hispanic, and 3 are asian american and the rest are white out of 1,129 judges.

How name calling can effect people?...Ms. Bentley

Angel Gonzalez

Classwork-

Name calling can effect people people because it might cause them to do some stupid. Like an article that my teacher ms. Bentley showed me in class about a kid that hanged himself because they were calling him gay at school. His name was Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover and he went to a school in Springfield. The schools name was Leadership Charter School. Its weired how people can do such stupid things over name calling.

Name calling can also effect people because it can change them. Like the class novel that we are reading right now is called "MONSTER". In the book they call the kid that is 16 years old named Steve Harmon "MONSTER". They called him monster because he killed an owner of a grocery store and took the money and some cigars and know he is in jail. We don't know yet if he would win the trial or not.

I hope people learned a lesson of what i said. Before you call someone a name think how you would hurt them and what you would make them do. For me ill do that if they really really get me mad and if i am not in the mood, but i have learned a lesson.

poetry game

Angel Gonzalez

poetry game

The game I enjoyed the most today was rags to riches. In order to play the game I had to answer all the questions and get to a million. My Score was 1,000,000. I liked this game because you had to get to a millon like the game math millonare but instead it was poetry instead of math. To play this game go to this link From Rags to Riches.

The game that I enjoyed secondly the most today was baseball poetry. In order to play the game I had to answer the write question and hit the ball. My Score was 7 home runs. I liked this game because my favorite sport is baseball and because its fun. To play this game go to this link Baseball Poetry!

The game I enjoyed the least today was basketball poetry. In order to play the game I had to you had to answer the right question then shot the ball and make it in. My Score was 21 cause they were counting by 3's. I least liked this game because its just like the other games baseball and soccer. To play this game go to this link Basketball Poetry!

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY...4/2/2009

ANGEL GONZALEZ


TODAY IN LITERACY CLASS I LEARNED ABOUT HYPERBOLE.

A HYPERBOLE is a type of figurative language. It is often confused with a simile or a metaphor because it often compares two objects. The difference is a hyperbole is an EXAGGERATING.

EXAMPLES:

His feet were as big as a boat- IT SOUNDS LIKE A SIMILE BUT ITS NOT

I was hopping mad
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PEOPLE USE HYPERBOLE TO EXAGGERATE THEIR THOUGHTS LIKE YO MAMMA JOKES ARE IS HYPERBOLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HYPERBOLE'S THAT PEOPLE USE DAILY IS

IM SO HUNGRY THAT I CAN EAT A HORSE
OR
HE'S FEET ARE AS BIG AS BOATS
AND
YOUR AS HAIRY AS KING-KONG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what i learned to day...4/1/2009

ANGEL GONZALEZ

TODAY WHAT I LEARNED IN LITERACY WAS WHAT IS AN IDIOM.

AN IDIOM IS AN EXPRESION THAT HAS A MEANING APART FROM THE MEANINGS OF ITS INDIVIDUAL WORDS.

EXAMPLE:

TO GET LONG IN THE TOOTH MEANS TO GET OLD

PEOPLE US IDIOMS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.

SOME IDIOMS THAT PEOPLE USE DAILY IS

"ITS RAINING CATS AND DOGS"
                     OR
" GOING BANANAS"
