The Spectacular Outsiders Movie Rewiew

There are many good articles in this magazine but the most favorite article is the section of the Outsider. The article is about The Outsiders Movie. If you had read the Outsiders book and you liked it then you should watch the movie. The Movie of the Outsiders was different than the book because in the movie there was a little more violence and language. I think the movie was better because it was very descriptive and you can see what was happening.In the book you actually just hear what is going on. Also, if you like the book more its OK to read it. The Outsiders movie was the best I give it five stars. The Outsider book was OK I give it four stars. I f you haven't read the book or watched the movie you should because you don't know what you are missing. See You Later.

Essential Question to the Wave

1. How does the need to belong and be accepted by others cloud our judgment and keep people from making good choices?

I think that being with other clouds is good because like many people say "The more the merrier" and its good to have a lot of friends because if you are by yourself it would suck. Also, it is good to make good choices because if you don't lots of bad things could happen.

"The Wave" by Todd Strasser

The Question Do you think that students are misunderstood by parents and teachers? Why or why not?

Answer: Yes because sometime kid and students don't listen to the older adults when the adults say don't go to far in the water because they can drown or shark can eat them.Sometimes the students do listen to the older people because what if the kid can get stolen the the kid will be in big trouble.

Memoir of memory box

Memoir objects

The artifacts I will talking about is my Japanese Pokemon Card named Glaceon. My mom gave it when she went to Japan. It was hard for me to translat it ,but when I looked at at the letter I knew most of the words it said like Supeedo Suraido which means Speed Slide. Also it's first attack is Going Hiding. It's name is Graysia ,but it's english name is Glaceon. My mom had to buy all the boster packs there were in the Japanese store. It's special to me because my mom had to spend most of her japanese money .

Since I never been to Japan I will still write about if I was at Japan. First it started when my mom and I were walking then I saw a store that said Anime Card Store and I said “Mom can we go inside” and my mom said OK. And I saw this excact same Pokemon cards Glacea. I said mom can you buy me this and my mom asked the clert in japanese and it was $100 in american money.Last my mom said ,”ok I'll buy this pokemon card” and it was the last money my mom had. How we back to the USA was my dad had to pay extra money just so we can get back to house. When we got to our house and the first thing I did was put my new pokemon card in my deck and then I play with my brother. I have always thank my mom for buying the Glaceon card and it's my lucky card like it's my good luck charm. I always try to win all my battle but I keep on losing to the state champion. Next time I go to Japan I'll buy my mom something that is $100. Most of the time I do lost my Japanese pokemon card ,but lots of time I leave it on my special place in my house.

My next object of my Memoir is my Bleach random figure box. It was special to me because my sister gave me it on my birthday this year on August 16,2008. The only thing that sucks is the box didn't have my favorite character from Bleach Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro in his Bankai form Daiguran Hyorimaru. But I didn't really care because I got an favorite character I got Uryu Ishida.Thanks to my sister I will always like the T.V show and the manga which are basiclly a comic book. Even though the show and books are for people who are four-teen years and older. I know I am not old enough ,but it's bad because it has lots of blood and has bad language. It sometimes is funny because Gin Ichimaru says Bye-Bye in a funny way. Anyway back to my object. It's also special to me because In my family no one know that I like Bleach ,but my sister took a lucky guess. I will always remember that day that my sister gave me the Bleach box. Also, I not really the greedy type of person.
