Reading Response Q3 W3

In ATDPTI, the main character is very funny. I enjoy how he makes fun of himself and isn't too sensitive about it. He was born with grease in his brain which could've effected him for life, but instead he came back as a good, funny guy. The only bad part about it is that he gets bullied a lot. He has an oversized head, so kids constantly make fun of him. Luckily, he has a good friend named Rowdy who sticks up or him.

I feel bad for the main character in this book because all he wanted to do was be somewhat successful. He doesn't want to have to be poor, but is born into it unfortunately. The worst part about him being poor is that his family couldn't afford a visit to the vet and to put the dog down. So far in the book, I feel bad for the main character. I would definitely choose my life over his.

Emotional Weekend Q3 W3

This weekend was the last weekend for hunting and I really wanted to kill a deer. I had killed three this year already, but still wanted to kill more. I decided to hunt a stand with a very pretty field. This field was located on a creek in the woods. I chose this stand because it hadn’t been hunted in a long time and we caught a nice cull on camera.

I ended up seeing all non-shooters and I was very upset. The end of the hunting is always an emotional time. I usually spend all my weekend in Woodville and I have become attached. Im extremely upset that I cant go hunting every weekend. Its my favorite thing to do, and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life.

Research Update Q3 W2

So far, my research project has been great. I have learned a lot about boxing. There are pictures of people boxing depicted on the walls of the Beni Hassan tomb site. Some say its not and it started in the first Greek Olympics. From the olympics boxing spread across the Roman Empire and grew big once it hit England.

Some people say boxing is not fair. Boxing wasn’t fair before Jack Broughton made the rules. The smaller boxers would always lose the fight. He invented the boxing gloves and completely changed the game. Boxing becomes big and spread across the world. When it came to Canada, it was outlawed because people thought it was bad. At around the same time, in England, two men fought and donated over $30,000 to charity. Earlier in history, boxing also influenced Kung-Fu. It is a major part of many cultures and shaped the way of many lives. It is a good, and important thing.

Something I've Learned Q3 W2

Last semester, I learned that I need to put a little more effort into things. I slipped behind a lot in English. I didn't complete all of my work that needed to be completed. If I would’ve done the work I could've gotten an A in the class. Instead, I was lazy and didn't want to do my work.

This semester, I realize that all I need to do is put a little more effort. All it takes is completing the little assignments. That is my goal this semester, is to not fall behind. So far I have done all my assignments, and if I keep it up I know I can get straight A’s.

Dead Deer Q3 W1

Last weekend, I was deer hunting at my camp in Woodville, Mississippi. It was a saturday afternoon and it had snowed the day before. It was about 20 degrees, but felt like 8. I was hunting in a deer stand called “Boo Hoo”. While walking into the stand, I jumped a doe. I was excited that I had seen a deer already, but upset that it ran away. I wasn't really worried though because its the rut.

At about 4:15, 4 does came running out from the right side of the field. I knew something was chasing them and I got really excited. About fifteen minutes later, at 4:30, 2 more does came running out the left side of the field. I just knew a buck was chasing them and at 4:45 I called in a big eight point from the right side. He was the one chasing the first 4. I was super excited, but as I began to study him, I noticed that he was only a three year old deer. I had to wait longer to see if the buck that was chasing the 2 does from the left would come out. 

Finally, at 5:10 the dominate buck in the area came out. He had a huge body, but he was only a six point. This means he is a cull buck. I picked up my gun and waited for him to get closer. Finally, when he came 100 yards from me broad-side I squeezed the trigger. I had dropped the buck right there with my new gun.

Research Project Update Q3 W1

My research topic is the history of boxing and its importance. I am really enjoying learning about it. Some sources are easier to annotate than others. For example, I had one source with a picture and short paragraph explaining it. It was hard to do, but I got it done. Some easy sources I had were encyclopedias. They were just filled with information and easy to write about.

One thing I needed help with was finding primary sources. I found this to be the most difficult part of the research. It took me over an hour to find them. Once I got those done, everything else was pretty easy. I think I will get a good grade on the annotation assignment.
