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.

You'll never do _______ again. And here's why...?
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.

The holidays are fast approaching, what are you looking forward too?
I looking forward to going to Mexico or to Chicago and spend Christmas with either my uncles and cousins or with my grandparents. If I go to Chicago I could go with my parents. But if I chose to go to Mexico, my parents will have to stay. Unless they chose to go, Mexico, but if they do we will be staying there not only for Christmas though. For a pretty long time. I would want to chose Chicago because there is allot of snow there and its fun. In Mexico I'm just going to be inside the house all day with my cousins and the rest of the people who live in that house. So I think ill decide before Christmas or by this Friday.

Between the ages of 5 and 10, what was your favorite activity? Why? Do you still do it?
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 still race people in skates and in bike. I also play those games that you play as if you were driving a real car. I think its really fun, and it will always be fun for me to do, to pass time.

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.

I were going to be stranded on a desert island, what 10 items would I want in my pockets? And Why?
First I would want my toothbrush and toothpaste. Got to keep healthy teeth. A big pocket knife. A 60" plasma T.V. that works with solar energy. A playstation three with war games. A big trailer full of canned food and cookies and a ful grown German Shephard. That would be what I would want in my poket if they were to fit. Besides that nothing else. With this I could live in the island for at least one year.
