I'm reading the book Naruto volume 53 and what this series is basically about is this kid who is a host of a demon with incredible power to destroy the world and so since he is a ninja he has to try to put his saftey before others sometimes but he isn't really that kind of person. He is a kind of person who everyone who is attached tro people no matter how evil or bad they are. one example would be his close friend Sauske who was his friend for a while but then started hunting down people who are demon hosts , but even through that he didn't give up on sauske he still believes that there is small chance that somehow sauske will turn to the better he will one day become his friend again. this is what makes him such a cool guy to be around and his dream i think i accheviable him becoming basically the laeder of his village just for the fact that he is respected by everyone in the village. i think people should definetley try this book out from the begining especially if you like comic books.

 I've recently been reading a book called upstate where there is a guy who killed his father in dfense of protecting his mother from getting beat. In the book he writes several letters about his thoughts and feelings to his girlfriend back home. Many of these start revealing  a lot more about him as a person and so i am  reallly liking this book i want to see if their relationship is strong enough to get through this. or will his girlfriend give up on him i'm mean at this point their relationship with one another is veryy strong and so i think that will help the main character get through this mess. Soon i will finish the story and see how everything ended and i am sure it will be great.

Article post on article

I was reading a scholastic magazine article about Plight of the chimps it talked about the new Disney movie Chimpanzee which is going to theaters on April 20th. What is basically going to be about is this small chimpanzee called Oscar who is learning all there is to know about life around the Ugandan forests of Africa and what is happening during the movie is that you're following the life of Oscar. I think that it will probably be a pretty cool movie to watch it 'll definitely be great to watch. Another great thing about this movie is that for every ticket from that purchase 20cents will be donated to the Goodall institute. This film is trying to get out to the general public that there are only five species of chimpanzee left in the world and their close to extinction this is what i've learned from the article. the article stated all of this "
“Chimpanzees are disappearing fast because their forest home is being destroyed—more than 10 million acres of African forest every year,” says Jane Goodall, a primatologist (someone who studies primates like chimpanzees, gorillas, and monkeys) for more than 50 years. Goodall’s main focus of study is on chimpanzees.
In the film’s opening week, Disneynature will donate 20 cents per ticket sold to the Jane Goodall Institute, an organization that protects chimpanzees, an endangered species.
Chimps are a species of great ape. Only five species remain— the gibbon and the orangutan in Asia and the chimpanzee, the bonobo, and the gorilla in Africa. All are endangered." this is what i've learned from this very intearesting article about this movie Chimpanzee.

Plagerizing

What this student did wrong wasn't he didn't cite the source where he got this paragraph  from and so now it is considered plagiarizing or a crime. One thing he could've done to avoid plagiarizing he could of been like this for example- In the site .................... they describe the painting like this "........................................................................................................................................................................" this is a more complex way to describe the picture but i agree with the way he is able to describe this painting. After researching this painting i found a site that was able to describe it well the site http://www.vangoghgallery.com/painting/starryindex.htm 
it described it like this " There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion.To the left of the painting there is a massive dark structure that develops an even greater sense of size and isolation." i agree with this description because of how well it describes every detail. 
Three ways that you can stop from plagiarizing are in-text citation, or using a works cited page. And just introducing and then putting your quotation. these are the three ways that you can stop from plagiarizing.

response on studens reading response

After reading Gaby's blog post what i really like about it is that she wrote all her blog posts and that she wasn't lazy on them you can see she put effort into them and that there all really great posts and that she does take the time to write them and write them welll not just rush everything and write nonsense on her blog post.

Another thing i liked was her picture of Jeremy Lin the basketball player that was really cool and overall her blog shows hard work and effort that is why i really like gaby's blog post

Response to student reading responses

After reading all 4 of these students reading responses i thought that Sofia's was really good because she put her own observation about the painting, what she thought everything in the painting meant. For example, in her response she uses the woman in the picture who is painting this naked woman and man who is Picasso's friend and the naked woman his lover. so basically her idea on the picture, was that the woman painting them resembled death because his friend had died of depression also the baby that woman who was painting was holding she thought resemble birth and so she said with every death something new is born. This is one reason why i really liked Sofia's blog on Picasso's La Vie. 


Another reason that i really liked Sofia's blog post on Picasso's La Vie is because it wasn't boring she kept her blog post interesting because of the fact she didn't rewrite what other people thought about this painting before her instead she told us about her own thoughts and what she thought so that was pretty good. this is what i liked about Sofia's response to La Vie.
