Sentence a Day Sentence #1

His Sentence:
Inside the room, a large, square, windowless place known unofficially as the bunker, the Director was sitting alone, looking blankly at a large screen upon which the face of Congressman Aaron Lake was frozen.
from The Brethren by John Grisham.

A longer sentence using parallel structure and shorter appositive phrases to emulate the Director's loneliness and seclusion in his determination in looking at his suspect.

My Sentence:
At the ballpark, a diamond shaped, brightly lit, enormous stadium with an atmosphere of entertainment, the baseball players fought for 2 hours through nine grueling innings with the purpose of beating the other team by scoring as many runs as possible.

My Sense: Symphony

My life is and has been surrounded by music. I took 7 years of piano, learned how to play the violin by ear, and became 1st chair trombone this year in band. So the sense of symphony has been around me all my life, symphony comes naturally to me as I have been a musician all of my life.

So I am a musician which as said by Daniel Pink is a sense of the right brain. Music forms my personality and thinking into a balanced, equal, and united mind.

I have more of a balanced mind rather than "left-brained or right-brained", I have more of a balanced mind or brain. I plan on keeping my mind balanced by staying into music and drawing.

So basically, I'm a balanced person.

Of Mice and Men

George and Lennie have a relationship that no one in this time has heard of; they live, they work, and they help each other. George has grown fond of Lennie mainly because Lennie needs him to take care of him, without George Lennie would panic and probably be killed.

This is a beautiful novel showing how hard the Great Depression was on people that lived like George and Lennie, even to find a job was hard enough and to get paid a fair amount for the work they did was unheard of. But they managed to scrape by with the force that has kept America from falling to its knees many times over, hope and dreams.

They both have a dream to have they're own farm one day, to live off the fat of the land, and to lay back and relax knowing that they are in control of their destiny which is a huge factor compared to where they are.

John Steinbeck did a great job in portraying the life of two traveling men in the early depression.

Reflection of my Sophomore Year

This year has been a quick, long, fast, and drug out year. I have learned many things this year that I did not think I would have had that privilege of learning. I am looking ever more ahead to college and even my carreer after that, I know that I will use many of the things that I have learned.
The best quality or gift that I have gained this year is the ability to think through things unlike I have been before, thanks to all my teachers for working with me all year and I hope everybody has a good summer!!!

Without Fail by Lee Child

Lee Child is one of the most acclaimed thriller novel writers out there. He gives amazing detail along with plenty of action to keep a reader hooked throughout the story.

Child uses a constant shift between Jack Reacher, the main character, and whoever is against him in any way or form. This shift keeps the reader informed from both points of view, through Jack's eyes and the villain's eyes.

Without Fail is an astonishingly thrilling novel about assasinating the Vice President elect, the only thing is that the assasins didn't count on Jack Reacher being in he mix.

My Favorite Tech Tool

The best and favorite "in class" tool of this age is the blog! Blogger is a way to communicate with and read what people are doing and what they think about the world. Blogs help many people get attention and get noticed in a world that it takes quite a lot of time and effort.

Blogging helps students and teachers collaborate on different assignments and other ideas or documents they need to work on together as a class, or as an individual.

Spring Break

This year's spring break was not my best, even though I traveled to the tip of Florida, met Mickey Mouse, and survived the longest bus ride of my life. I have to admit, I had fun at Adventure Island on the Hulk in the front row.



But besides that, the only fun was at the fantasmic show, which was amazing... Videos were projected on huge streams of water and a magnificent firework show afterwards.



So to finish, this spring break was not the best, this spring break was awesome.
