Bullying (Man's Inhumanity to Man)

Society or our own school community cannot put an end to bullying because other people probably expect someone else to do it. They don't have the courage to step up and do it even if someone else is trying. Just like in Lord of the Flies how Jack isn't defending Piggy he probably thinks someone else will do it and he should not bother. But, if more than one person steps up to end a cause like bullying, then it will just reinforce how serious the people are and how bad the cause is.

Summer Reading (Literature)

Question: What sort of person do you imagine the author of the novel to be?
I imagine that the author of The City of Ember is a very imaginative person. They seem to have more of a mystical view on things in life especially since the book I read was about the lights going out in a city.

Welcome Scientists

1. My favorite school subject is science because it is fun to do experiments and learn about our earth and stuff.
2. The best book I ever read is The Lightning Thief.
3. My favorite food to buy in the cafeteria is the chocolate chip cookies when they are warm and soft.
4. On the weekend when all my chores are done, I like to play outside when it is nice out or play the Wii.
5. If I won a free airline ticket to any place I wanted, I would go to Switzerland because in 5th grade I studied about it and it seems like a nice place. Also, I hear it has really good chocolate.
6. My favorite color is orange.
7. If I had a pet, it would definitly be a dog and I would name it Buddy.
