On December 4 1877, the phonograph was invented. This machine allowed people to listen to phonograph records. How do you think listening to these records was different than listening to today’s CDs or mp3s? What may be the advantages and disadvantages of each type of machine?

I think that the phonograph was a great invention because it was the device that people starting listening music from it. The advatage of the phonograph is that the cds that you had would never get scratched or damaged. Only if you were to damage them yourself. Also you didnt had to worry about any battery running out or cds getting damaged. I thimk that their pretty cool. The disadvantage of these machines are that you had to buy some gigantic cds that were bigger than someones head. Also the music comming ut of here sounded crappy. There was no bass or treble for a clearer sound. Also the records would sometimes play only one song. You cant burn cds like now and days. But i think that the phonograph is pretty cool.

On December 1, 1955, a black woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man. This was a brave action by Parks. What is the bravest thing you have ever done? Be sure to include details about the event and why you think you were brave?

The bravest thing that I ever done was saving a friend from getting bitten by a dog. It was during the summer vacation when this happened. Me and my fiend were giong to the to pick up both our little brothers from summer school. She wanted to get there quick, so we went through an ally that she goes through to get to places faster. It cuts through streets and some lights. This ally wasn't any normal ally, this one would curve and turn. There were alot of dogs through there to. There were so many dogs that it looked like a dog pound. So we were walking and a dog was loose. It was a medium sized german shephard. I told my friend not to run and she ended up running away and the was giong to go after her. I got a chance to pull the dog from its legs and droped it. Then it tried bitting me. I ran and there was fenced area. I jumped the fence but i couldnt go any where. Luckily I found a thrown hamburger in there. I picked it up with ants and roches and I threw it as far as I could. The dog was stupid enough to go after it and it gave me enough time to get away. Thats the bravest thing that I've ever done.

What's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?
The most nicest thing that anyone ever did for me was, lending me money for the bus. I had no money, was at the mall and I was with my cousin with no money and we had to go home. We had let our stomachs waste all of the money for us. we had only seven dollars and since we were so hungry we bought 6 dollars of tacos at Jack in The box and plus tax was almost 7 dollars. Once we got to the bus stop we realized we had no money. But we did had 12 tacos though. We added up all the change we had and made a dollar with 20 cents. Not even enough for one person. So we got on the bus and told the driver we had no money, then the guy behind us said that he will pay for us. And then we said thanks gave him one taco and we ate the rest and then went home and threw up.

If you live in Extreme cold or Extreme heat which would you prefer and why ?

If i were to live in extreme cold or extreme heat I would prefer the extreme coldness. It would be much easier to live in the cold than in the heat. Why, many reasons. One, if its really really hot, no matter what you do, take off your cloth, take a cold shower, you'll stilll be hot, And if its cold you could just wear a three or five sweaters on and you wont be clod any more. Another reason is that when its cold it iends to tain more often than when its hot. Also there is SNOW!!
I really like the snow. The last time I saw snow was in chicago. Its fun and cold and it hurts. I also want to go to New York during times that are cold. In the winter sort of. Some one told me that there is alot of snow during the winter and in December. She told me its pretty cool over there.

If your life story was a book, what would it be titled? What would its chapter titles be?

If my were to be a story book, the book be called I Like Pie. I would name the title of that book because I say that alot at a random time. Poeple laugh and say its stupid but I think its funny. So that would be the title of the book. I Like Pie, in either white or light purple font color. Now the chapter titles would be named different nams of pie. Blueberry pie, apple pie, blue berry muffin pie, chicken pie, maple syrup pie, pie pie, pumpkin pie, etc. You get the point. Those would be the names of the chapters in my book, or my life story book. Its not that I like pie though. I really dont lke pie. I would prefer a cake or gelatin, but not pie. I never really like the taste of pie. Its crispy and sometimes it has chees in between the whatever its made up of. Sometimes people makek some terrible pie. They mix things that dont go together. For example, the cranberry with apple. The juice by itself tastes like s***. Now imagine a pie that is made out of that.

Ill never take my moms car to go to places because one, somehow every time I would take the car, a big noise and loud niose would be loud enough to wake up my parents. The second reason is because I dont look old enough to be driving and if a cop sees me, he will stop me, give me a ticket, and I would be in alot of trouble. Those are the only easons why. Other than that I would take the car. Without my parents knowing though.

Between th ages of five and ten I would either play racing video games or play with cars. That was my favorite thing to do to pass time because I have always liked pretending to drive a real car and go really fast. Know and days I just play racing games. I like racing wth other people in bikes, skates, in a scooter or in remote control cars. I've only driven a car once on the streets, I cant no more because my parents didn't like how I would drive. So I haven't driven on the street for about three months. But I would really like to race someone in a really for real car. I still do it know because I really like it.

I remember when. . .

I went to six flags for grand night and I went with the school. It was my first time giong to six flags ever. I was exited and it was awsome. There were booring parts of the trip and good parts. The boring thing was that it took us about two hours and thirty minutes to get there, and the it was along time sitting on the bus sitting next to a person you don't get along with. So t was a bad trip over to six flags. But it was a sacrifice I had to make to be able to go. Besides it was only two hours. So it wasnt that bad. The person who sat next to me was a girl who would bu alot and was annoying. She was pretty, but mean and annoying. But once we got there, I thought I was going to be away from her. It turned out her friend hadent came and she had no to hang arond with. So she went with my friends and me. It wasnt that bad. The rides were awsome and very thriling. I thought the day wasnt giong to end but it did eventually. Well the thing is by the end of the day that girl ended up tp be my girlfriend. A very hard thing to believe for everyone. So that was that day and it was one of the greatest day I ever had. It did had lots of fun.

You had four days off, tell me about them.

The first day was on thursday. That day we woke up at 10 in the morning. So it was pretty late. The house was a mess and we were going to have my uncles, aunts, and cousins from mexico comiming over to spend thanksgiving with us. Since were going to arrive somewhere around elven 'o' clock, we had to clean up the entre house, and it was alot of mess. So we had to go start the food and clan the house in less than an hour. We actually finished th whole house and my mom had already started the food for the night. We were going to have alot of food. With all the food my mom made, we spend about five hours in the kitchen. After, we went to go pick up my family from the airport. We had to call a taxi. We didnt al fit in the small van we had. So after like arond six, we started eating and drinking and eating some more. The food didn't finish, there wasn't alot left though. We gave the rest to my dog. It was alot food for one person or one dog. So that was the first day.

The second day, "Black Friday", we all over looking for presents to give on the day of christmas. Since this was one of those days that every store has specials, we took advantage of the day and went to spend money. We went to Wall Mart and Target and Toys R Us and K mart. We went to many diffrent stores to go find some gifts. We ended buying nothin. The day finised and all day we were ant the stores. We weren't at the house at all. We got only home to rest only. So that was the end f that boring day.

The third and fouth day were normall days. The things that I do every saterday and sunday. Saturday I went to a party, like every other saturday. The only difference about this party was that I didn't know any one. So that was on saturday. Thats all I did. The rest of the day, I was home. Then sunday I practice with my cousin and two other friends in a band that they made. I was lucky enough to know how to play the guitar well and was good enough to jion their band. So every sunday we practice for a while and have fun, and we hope tp become famouse and be known by lots of people. So thats how my weeknd was. It was simple but fun.

He went from table to table and evryone just said no. Only one man gave him a dollar. I got up before he came to my table. I want to the cunter and bought another big mac. The guy was almost out the door until I called him and told him to wait. Once I got the order I gave it to the homeless. He just stared and looked at me and told me, "god bless you." He walked out and evry one inside just kept staring at me. The only reason I did was because I saw that guy and it looked like he hadednt eaten in days. So I did what no one else wanted to do.

"There's so much interest in exercising our minds as we age," said the researcher, Dr. Gary Small, a professor at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. "One result of this study is that these technologies are not all bad. They may be good in keeping our brains active."
To study what brains look like when people are searching the Internet, Small recruited two groups of people: one that had minimal computer experience and another that was Web savvy.

I mean if your house is very filthy, at least dont invite no one into your house. First of all its discusting because you have to be in a filthy house. There is always roaches and animals and little bugs creeping around the floors and on the couches and on the tables and its not very cool having to sit down in a table with roaches hiding under plates or in the bag of chips. So try your best to keep your house clean. Im not saying to leave it spotless but at least vaccum the damn floor.

So my shirt would be wet and then the wind would be cold and then i would have chills through my body. So then suddenly two dogs start to chase me and then i start running and then i see a fence and i try to jump it but then i slip on the water and then the dogs get closer and then they start chewing on my pants. So i take out my pocket knife out of nowhere and then i start cutting and stabbing as hard as i could until the lock of the gate opened. So then i kicked the dogs off of me and i went inside. Then i jumped to the back of a truck that was about to leave towards the direction where i was headed and then i got off by jumping and got to my home unsafely and unsoundly. THE END

They got to do research for their homework, play games, print coloring pages, and read stories. They also got to e-mail their friends and even chat with other kids, after getting their parents permission.
Because the kids liked the Internet so much, they would finish their homework, then go surf the web. Very often, they didn't feel the passage of time and found themselves almost falling asleep in front of the computer screen.
One day they stayed up late surfing the web after they were done with their homework. After a while they started getting tired and they were almost falling asleep. While they were in the twilight between being asleep and being awake, they felt a strong suction coming from the computer screen. It felt like a huge vacuum cleaner! By now, they were fully awake and when they looked around but they did not see their living room anymore. Instead, they saw themselves floating in a long tube with speeding chunks of alphabets, numbers, images, and sounds. They were INSIDE the computer! It was their dream come true and they decided to...?

Then they decided to surf the web literally. They got a surf board on started surfing the web. The would fall down and but wouldnt get hurt. Then after a few hours of surfing a virus was near by and tried to eat them. So they got into a vidio game with cars and drove off real fast. Almost as fast as the speed if light. Then the virus catched up to them and swallowed them allive. Then after a anti virus came and ripped the virus into two poeces and took saved the two kids from being trapped. Then their mom started using the computer and then she saw Dan and Kim. So she thought that they were three dimensional drawings by Dan and Kim. So then the mom started shoping on the internet and she went to a website page where alot of viruses could enter the computer. So the anti-virus superguy helped Dan and Kim protect thier home base from the viruses. So they prepared thier base and thier weapons and little minie anti virus soldiers that eat up the viruses. So the battle lasted thirty seconds with the death of the super anti-virus guy. Then a portal opened and sucked up Dan and Kim home. The next day they went to the library computer with thier cousin and the same thing happend.

Do you like rain? Why or why not?



I do like it when it rains. I like it because its wet and you could have fun and many people dont like the rain so outside its empty. Rain is also cool because you could slide on the sidewalk and do stuff that you cant do when the street is dry. For example, yesterday my cousin and I have a little go kart that we made and it runs slow on dry and wet floor. So what we did was put some sponges on the tires so it could slide through water, then I fell. Rain is cool, you just have to find your way of having fun in it.

If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why? For how long? Who would you take with you?

If i could stay in any part of the world, i would chose to live in paris. I've always wanted to live in Paris and to see the famouse tower of Paris. I also want to go there because the french restaurants here are good, now just imagine them in the real french restaurants. I would like to stay there at least one year to get to know the places and to have a chance to learn how to speak french. I would take with me most of my family. My uncles and cousins and my aunts. And, of course, i cant forget about my family and my awsome dog. But it may never happen.

The most significant accomplishment to date is. . .

The most significent accomplishment I have done up to today is keeping my grades on A. Back in the middle school by the end of the first week I would already have an F as my grade for at least three of my classes. I have also been doing my homework and passing my tests. I would rarely do my homework and that would always affect my grade and the tests as well. One thing that I told one of my friends is that since the beggining of ninth grade, I began to study and started bieng responsible for my homework. I would always do bad on the tests and quizes, but now I have past my tests with an A. It may be hard to believe, but I have and will pass all my classes for this year. NO more slacking off and failing, this is highschool now. No more fun and games. Now its either responsibility and living the good life or failing and living in the corner of Long Beach and Tweety.

My talents are...

My talents aren't really talented. But they do go together. I have lots of patience, i could aboiut an hour to be calleed in the clinic or wait for other things that most people wouldnt wait for. I also like fixing things, if my mom's favorite clock breaks and starts malfunctioning, I open it up and start to see what is the problem. Many people see that there are alot of pecies and they just give up. Also to build things as well. Like sculpters and legos or putting a puzzle together. Another talent that i have is that i like playing all kind of sports. Not that im good at all of them. So those are my talents that I know I have, But the most awsome talent that i have is MUSIC. I like listening to music and I would like to learn how to play all the instruments that are used mostly to create a song.

You roll through your favorite fast-food drive-thru, order your usual and wait for the cashier to repeat it back to you. Only, he doesn't repeat it. Instead, through the speaker, you hear a very unsettling conversation. Describe this scene and what happens next.

Then the manager came and it got quiet for like about three to five minutes. Then the manager started screaming and then the speaker broke down and then i couldnt hear so I went inside of the restaurant to hear the conversation but then the cashier and the manager and the janitor saw me come in and then they stayed quiet and told me welcome to your favorite restaraunt. then the conversation finished. Then i got my food that i order all the time and then i ate it and then i went home. THE END

What are your thoughts about this article? Do you know anybody who has regretted posting information online?

I think that it is very important what you post on the internet because if you post something many people see and they could do something to it. You could probably think that you just posted it up on my space but on whatever you post on up on your profile even if its private. So always watch what you post up on the internet, you never know when someone else is watching.

Journal 13

Do you care who got the Olympics in 2016. Why or why not?

I don’t really care who gets the Olympics because I don’t really watch them. Sometimes I watch them but I don’t really care if the U.S is winner or if Japan is winner. I just think sports are to have fun. Not to have competition and to see who the best is. That is why people then start hating on others and trying to do crazy things like killing them or worse. I like watching some sports on the Olympics like boxing and swimming. Nothing changes if the Olympics are held somewhere else. I don’t see nothing important with the by U.S not winning the Olympics.

Write your opinion on the article. Do you think it was fair?
Why or why not?

I don’t think that firing a woman just for using red bold letters is right at all. I don’t see anything wrong with it. Maybe she just wanted a word or a sentence to be more visible. Many people write in different colors just to make some word or sentence stand out. It would be wrong if the woman was writing something offensive about something. Then it would be a problem. But in the article it didn’t say anything about writing it about something bad. Maybe the email was confidential but maybe it was important information that the people will soon find out. So yes, I think it was unfair to fire that woman.

Journal 11

How will you use email in your life?
What are the benefits?
What are the draw backs?


Well, email is a very important tool if your are based in the computer on doing most of your work and planning everything that your supposed to do. Email benefits you a lot because it’s instantaneously and you don’t have to wait. So let’s say for example, a relative of yours just died. And you live in California and your family is in New York. And you only have three days to be able to see your dead relative before they burry him. If your family were to send a written mail to you it would take about three two five days to get to your mailbox. Now let’s say your family has internet and sends you a message and a picture of your relative that suffered the accident. You get in under seconds, right. That way you get there in time, but what if your computer broke down. You don’t get an email; you don’t know anything until it’s too late. So email has its ups and downs. You just have to know when and where to use it.

Journal 10

Write your opinion about this article.

This article that I just read, I think it is pretty stupid to check your account while doing the job that the person was doing. I think it would be understandable for kid with the age of sixteen to eighteen years that you would do that if you rob a house, because there are teens that commit burglary at that age, than a nineteen year old that is almost an adult to check his face book account. It doesn’t make any sense to do that. If you’re in a house, stealing or doing something, the goal is to go in, get what you came for, and go out without leaving any type of evidence or trace that you were in there.

What would be a perfect bell schedule for school?
What time and day would school be held? Why?


A perfect day schedule for the school will be that school will start at eight’ o’ clock in the morning and that school will end at two’ o ‘ clock PM. That way almost no one will come late and that way we, the lazy students of high school will get more sleep, a lot more sleep. This way the teachers will have more time to prepare for class and this will be on a daily day basis.

Journal 7

What has been the most difficult thing in school so far?

The most difficult thing so far now in school is nothing. I haven’t had any problems in school yet. The only thing that is really hard for me to do is to get to school on time. The only reason that I come late to school is because I wake up late. I also need to walk to school. I don’t live near the school. It’s at least a twenty minute walk from my home to the school.

Journal 6

Do you think that the education you are receiving is worth anything? Would you pay for these classes? How much?

I think that they are worth something. But I don’t think their worth paying for. Why, because I don’t know if I’ going to learn anything from these classes and maybe just maybe the teachers that I got really suck and don’t teach well. Maybe for some classes I would pay, but that’s also depending on how much they would costs. I don’t know at all how much a class would be worth, but I think that two to three hundred dollars would be enough.

Journal 5

If you could change one thing at school what will it be?

If there was one thing that I could change in the school it would be the space in the gym lockers. It’s to crowded and you can hardly even move in there. You have to wait until it is almost empty to be able to change. So I end up going late to class because I couldn’t dress in time before the bell rings. Another thing that I would change is the tickets to eat lunch. I don’t have tickets to eat, and I’m not going to spend a dollar and fifty just for some food that is not good. That’s pretty much everything that I would change.

Journal 4

In your oppinion, does technology help or complicate my life?

Well sometimes technology can make life easier and alot more faster, or it can slow everething down and make life much more harder for every one. For me technology helps me alot. For example the internet, when im doing reaserch, im not going to flip pages until i find what i want, it will take to long. In the internet you just go to google and type in what you are looking for and there you go. its much faster. But what if the internet has a problem and its taking forever to open a page document. It'll be much faster to look in the book than to wait for that one page. So technology has its ups and downs. But really, technology has really helped us alot.

Coming to this class today, I said to myself....

Today coming to class today i said to my self. Well today is friday, the teacher said we were going to use the computers today so maybe it wont be that bad today. Maybe we won't have to watch any vidios today. So today is friday and maybe the time will go faster than usual and then i'll go home. Once i get home i'll eat then go to sleep then go to the house then go back to sleep. And then the day will be over.

What I want to learn about computers?

Something that I really want to learn to use on a computer is how to usean e-mail. I do have one but i'm have no idea on how to use it. It confusesme sometimes. I would also want to learn how to tyoe faster. It really slows me down when im trying to do something quickly. Another inportant thing i want to do on a computer is to install a anti-virus protection completelybecause i always end up installing it wrong.
