my perfect World

In my perfect world there would be no fighting and the people would all be nice. There would be no car wrecks because everyone would be a safe driver and no one would have to be separated from their families. All the Star Wars characters would be roaming the city just like normal people. I could have all the video games in the world. In my utopia we would not have to worry about owing money to other states because no one would run out of money. No one would have to steal things or be greedy because everyone would be so nice that it would be hard to be bad.

Tell Tale Heart project

This is Phil
   My name is George and I am the owner of this really spooky house in this even spookier neighborhood. I have one other person in this house and it is my butler Phil he is kind of tall has a handle bar mustache and seems to hate this house. "Ok I had a good day Phil now I will lay down for the night." For seven nights I have felt someone watching me but yet I have not seen anyone.

   I try to sleep in a pitch black room so that way no robbers would come here. (creek of the hinges) Who's there I said as I heard something creek in my own room. If there is a person watching me they may want my eye because so many people that I have met say that it is a vulture eye. I stay up for an hour hoping that my intruder would show themselves but they never did. I was really scared and I let out a moan of sheer terror because I did not know when he/she would strike. My fears that I have had all tonight have been because of that slight little noise.

   I thought it was a cricket that had made the noise or a mouse going across the floor because only one other person lives in the house with me and I know he would not kill me. Then suddenly a light little ray hit my left eye, the "vulture eye". The thing that confused me is that the light was no where else on my face so where was the light coming from? Then my heart started racing with all of the thing that went through my mind, could I die soon, will I live, or will I forever live in fear?

   I then heard a loud AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH and that caused me to scream at the top of my lungs and then I saw my pursuer and it was... Phil the person that lives with me. He through the bed over me and i kicked, screamed, and punched but I could not get free and then I died.
                                                                   
                                                                    Epilogue
This is George
This is the house
   At the end after the deed was done the bell rang and it was the police. They had said that a neighbor had heard some screaming and was scared that it had been George that wailed.

   Phil being an excellent liar said that George had been away. He let the police search the house and they found nothing. Phil then all of a sudden heard a small beating noise in his head and thought that it was nothing. Then the noise got louder and he knew that they heard it to and then when they did not say anything he just confessed to doing the deed and turned himself in.

Hunger Games and Battle strategies

The Hunger Games project Avery 12/6/11
     The Hunger Games is this series of tests where everyone has to survive in the wild and face one another. In the games there are twelve districts which each contribute two kids ages twelve-eighteen to fight. During the games people make an alliance to try and live which almost never works out because they either kill each other or they get killed. One alliance is Katniss and Rue, Katniss is a good hunter, also the main character, and is from district twelve. Rue is a little girl that is from district eleven and the smallest kid in the games. In the games the two tributes from district twelve have a little "love story" in the games. At the   end of the games the tributes that won were Peeta and Katniss. ("The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins")

     Some good advantages while using a bow and arrow are the cheapness of how much it costs. ("Medieval Bow and Arrow"). The reason why is because it is hard to get thing where Katniss lives so it is good to have cheap things. Some great hunting tactics are go up as high in a tree as you can then go a little higher. ("Deer Hunting Strategies and Tactics"). Some other good tactics are using camouflage. The cool thing about it is if you can get enough good cover in it you can pretty much be invisible even to the most trained eye. ("Battle Strategies and Tactics"). Amazing sniper tricks that I found are like do not create a base camp because you need to pop up out of no where. ("10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper"). Some other great tactics that I found are, to lie like a stone and merely observe aim to be invisible even to the trained eye. ("10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper.") My last tactic is to work closely to other people because they can be good decoys and provide intelligence about the enemy. ("10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper.")

Katniss
     Some ways that I see that they are connected are that working with others as a decoy reminds me of when Rue was distracting the careers, that was like her being a decoy and helping Katniss destroy the food. Another similarity that I have is when Katniss found Peeta in the woods she could not see him because he was very well covered in camouflage. A good thing that I found that the Hunger Games and battle strategies have in common is that when you are hunting in a tree you go up as high as you can then go a little higher, this is like the time Katniss and Rue hid in trees from the careers. My last connection that I am going to make is that you don't create a base camp because you need to pop up from no where in the Hunger Games, which is like when Katniss and Rue kept moving and hiding in the woods and popped up and killed the enemies.

Chapter 22 Hunger Games

The thing that really shocked me was that Katniss and Peeta had their first real kiss and neither of them were sick or anything. I was also happy that after that big scene where they had that conversation they got a huge buffet so that they would not starve. One thing that I am wondering is that are Katniss and Peeta doing this to get sponsors or is it something more? If anyone has any input on that leave a comment on this blog.

Hunger Games blog out

One thing that made me happy in this book is that Katniss and the little girl Rue are allies. I thought that it gave them a better chance to win the games. During their alliance Katniss and Rue were planning to destroy the careers food supply which I think is a good idea. For me if I was Katniss I would have sent a flaming arrow at the food but then she said what of the arrow burns itself out and that shot down that idea. The last thing that has surprised me this week is that some boy form the careers put a spear through Rue and it killed her that is something that made me very sad.

Hunger Games

In the Hunger Games Katniss was in the woods and came up to Peeta and heard some of his allies that they were trying to hunt her down and kill her. I can't believe what he is doing but I do think that he is planning to double cross them. The game makers sent a wall of fire to snuff out the tributes and get them to meet so the action could resume. In my opinion I think it was cool to get the action going again but I don't think it is cool because some people could have gotten killed. Katniss also hid in a tree while the careers were under her, but she had a plan to drop a Tracker Jacker/ bee nest on them so she could escape. I thought that they were going to get her with that arrow but lucky for her that the person with the arrows is a bad shot. If I have lost any of you on this about what I have talked about in the book let me know.

Strategies

I think the best strategy for the Hunger Games depends on the field that you are on. If you have a lot of trees you might want to get a good vantage point and cover yourself. If you are in the desert you would want to find water to stay alive. Your strategy also can depend on the weapons you are given like a good weapon in the trees would be a bow and arrow. For the desert a knife might be good so you could cut open a cactus and get water. The last thing that a good strategy can consist of is knowing your enemy. If you are facing someone that is a good hunter you might not want to go in the woods without understanding where a good hiding spot is.

What the World Says About Beauty

The world says that beauty for women is they need a supermodel body and face and I don't think it is right, I think they should be just the way they are. The same thing for men the world says that we need to be buff, strong, giant, bodybuilders and not every person is like that. In my opinion I think that everyone needs to be themselves and not worry about what others think.
