Hits and Misses Q4W5

My hits and misses, I guess you could say, are very interesting. My first two quarters were misses. I did not do so well in this class. I didn't do all of my homework, so I threw away points just because I was lazy. If I could have the first two quarters back, I would definitely take the opportunity.

In my last two quarters, I got my act together and started completing my work. I just started to care. It sounds really sad, but its true. I feel that my writing and tests were better as well. Overall, Im happy with my improvements over the year, so thats a hit.

Anticipating Our Next Book Q4 W5

2. If you are in a position of power, you are happy.

If you are in a position of power, you are not always happy. I strongly disagree with statement number two. There are many people who are in a position that are not happy. When people have a position of power, then they could be stressed out causing them to make wrong decisions. It could also effect their mental health. Kim Jong-un for example is the ruler of North Korea and is not happy. His missiles are failing causing him to be very unhappy.

7. Some things are destined or fated to happen.

I strongly agree that some things are are fated or destined to happen. As a Christian I believe that Lord Jesus Christ our savior has a plan for each and every one of his children, I being one of them. My path in life has been chosen by the Lord Jesus Christ. In church last Sunday, my preacher, taught me one of the greatest life lessons I have become to known. He preached and preached about fate. It really spoke to my heart. I felt it in my soul. I feel that my fate had been compromised. Therefore, I agree with this statement.

Most Precious Childhood Possession Q4 W4

My most precious childhood possession was probably my Patrick Peterson jersey and gloves. When I was in fifth grade, my family and I went to Arizona for a Grand Canyon trip. But My dad and I really wanted to go to see the Cardinals play. We ended up going to a game and I was very excited. I wanted to see my favorite team the Arizona Cardinals and my favorite player Patrick Peterson for the first time. My dad and I traveled from our hotel in Scottsdale to Glendale. It was an NFC West showdown, Cardinals vs. Rams, and we had to get to the game early, so I could get a jersey. When we got there I, of course, bought a Patrick Peterson jersey and was super excited. Sadly, the Cardinals lost the game, but Patrick Peterson got an interception and he gave me his game worn gloves in the stands.


After the game, he invited my family and I to go eat at a restaurant called “Papadeaux’s”. The restaurant was great and we had a great time. Patrick is a really nice guy and I enjoyed myself. After we ate, he told me he had a surprise for me. So we went out to his car, which was a Rolls Royce, and pulled out his game jersey out of the trunk. He signed it and asked for the gloves and signed those too. It was one of the best days of my life and I’ll keep the jersey and gloves forever.

Purple Hibiscus Q4 W4

Purple Hibiscus has been a challenging book at times. The mix of English and Igbo in this book got a bit confusing at first. As the book went on I got used to the characters speaking half Igbo and half English. Also, this book is written by a Nigerian author. In Nigeria, the "slang" words are a bit different, and they don't speak English like we do in America.

In Purple Hibiscus, there are many characters that are fathers in this book. For example, Father Amadi, Father Benedict, Papa, and Papa-Nnukwu. This can be very confusing, but since I am annotating thoroughly, it makes things much easier. If I would have chosen to do the blogs, I feel like I would be lost in this book.

Obamacare Q4 W2

http://www.trump.news/2017-03-26-the-top-5-biggest-obamacare-fails-and-why-republicans-and-trump-should-try-again-to-repeal-and-replace.html

This article describes the top five biggest Obamacare fails. The first point states that Obamacare is unaffordable. Democratic leaders lied repeatedly in saying that the reform measure would lower monthly healthcare premiums. For the Americans that had not had health insurance, this isn't true. Now, these people pay around 60-90 percent more.

I do not know why politicians lie sometimes. I think its really not smart and that people will always eventually find out. I think Obamacare is very helpful, but if its not as affordable there's no point. As soon as people make it affordable it will help everyone. Overall, I think its a good idea.
