Because of Zach

                                                 
Ka-baam now it hit me I am now an older brother. When Zach was born and came home, I wanted to hold him very much. The reason for this is he was very small and something inside me was saying ask your mom, ask your mom. So I asked my mom, and after a few minutes she replied yes. I treasured the moment because it has happened only once to me. It was very enjoyable to do.
When he was about 5 years old, he got into Legos. Then you would hear sounds coming from our playroom. For example, “Baaaam” and “Why did you do that.” By then I was eight and a half and had hundreds of Legos. So of course he asked me if he could build with them and the conversation went like this:
“Josh, can I build with your Legos.”
“All right”
When he turned seven years old he got 600 Lego blocks and a 15 by 15 platform. After he got it he dashed upstairs to start building. After a little bit he became quite good and then you would hear sounds like:
“Why isn’t this working?”
 And I would reply “What did you do?”
Now we play every morning for 20-30 minutes, it is very pleasurable to do it.
When my dad tried to teach me biking I would not do it. But when my dad taught Zach he loved it. After that when I went to play outside he would be in my way whizzing around on his bike and it was very annoying. He liked it so much he requested to have his bike left outside so he could use it when he wanted to.
After getting into Biking he was not done instead of doing Baseball or basketball he chose to do swimming. I was glad about that but not for long. Soon we started arguing about who is a better swimmer. This changed my life because than my dad would take us to go swimming at the beach or at a swimming pool.
We will sometimes fight. For example, “Owwwwwwww.” That is what happens. These fights can be caused by almost anything. I enjoy arguing because I would make a good lawyer at least that is what my mom says another example, in the courtroom there are sounds like this: “Get to the point.”
The confusing thing is that we look alike we both have brown hair and brown eyes. A lot of people say that he is a miniature me.
When Zach started his clubs it was very annoying and it still is. Since Zach was born on July 20 we googled who else has the birthday July 20. What we found out was that he has the same birthday as Alexander the Great.
The final result is that he is a good brother. Even though he does things I may not like. The moral of this story is: “Be good to your siblings and they will be good back.” That is what my mom says.

Because of Winn-Dixie.

The more friends the better. In Because of Winn-Dixie, Opal has no friends in the beginning, but in the middle of the book she has many friends. One of Opal’s many friends Gloria Dump is old and another friend is almost 6. That means you can have friends of all ages. Because of Winn-Dixie Opal’s dog Opal has many friends.

Opal has made tons of friends most of them because of Winn-Dixie. One of Opal’s first friends Miss Franny the librarian. Opal became friends with her because Opal asked her to bring Winn-Dixie into the library to hear the story that Miss Franny was about to tell and she said yes and when Miss Franny got frightened Winn-Dixie comforted her. Winn-Dixie also had a Littmus Lozenge and it amazed Miss Franny that a dog would eat a candy. When Opal became friends with Otis who works at the pet shop. That happened because of Winn-Dixie. When Winn-Dixie wanted a collar from the pet shop Opal went in to buy it but she did not have enough money to buy it so she asked for a job to pay off for it so when Opal started working there, you’re not going to believe what happened next! Opal became friends with Otis. That happened because Winn-Dixie helped establish that friendship.

Opal’s friendship with Gloria Dump happened because of Winn-Dixie. Without Winn-Dixie Opal would have never met Gloria Dump. For example, when Winn-Dixie went into Gloria Dump’s garden and Opal went in to get him even though the Dewberry boys Stevie and Dunlap said “You better not go into the witch’s house.” In fact immediately after Opal went in she became good friends with Gloria Dump. Opal’s friendship with Gloria Dump was important. For instance, it made a difference because there was a party at Gloria Dump’s house and then Opal became good friends with one of the Dewberry boys which was Dunlap. Gloria Dump without the party and without Opal she probably would die alone because barely any people knew her. When Opal came in and became her friend that was probably Gloria’s first real friend.

With more friends you can achieve more. Opal has many friends that is the same with me. With friends you can become President or anything if you really try. Try to achieve what you want with friends, and then what you want might, just might happen.

Trimester Reflection

I am very proud of probably everything. I think this because I am really good at math and ecosystems. I feel that there was not anything that was really hard for me.

I feel I am good at everything because I have completed a lot of work and I am proud of it. I think I want to improve on writing down my thoughts on the books I read.

The Talking Earth

I am currently reading the book The Talking Earth by Jean Craighead George. I think the moral of the story was that you should not always have to believe people. In the book the main character Billie Wind had to obey the medicine man Charlie Wind who is also her uncle. When Billie's sister said that Billie did not believe In serpents he sent her off to see them.

I think this because in the story she has to go off because Charlie wants her to see the serpents. When Billie sees the serpents she does not no how to get back.

Because of Winn-Dixie

In Because of Winn-Dixie Miss Franny compares life to a Littmus Lozenge because they are both sweet and sour. The Littmus Lozenge because the candy tastes sweet and sour. The sweet because it has and sour no one knows, because that is the secret ingredient. Life is also sweet and sour. For example, the sweet part is that you get rewards and candy as  said before.

The sour part is that people die including your close friends and family members. I agree with this because what I just said is supporting my idea.    

Why did G-d harden Pharaoh's heart.

 Why did G-d harden Pharaoh's heart. We do not no why, but three famous commentators give their opinion's. One of them the Chizkuni says G-d wanted to punish Pharaoh for what he did. So he gave him a strong heart, so he wouldn't die of fear during the ten plagues. Another famous commentator the Ramban says G-d didn't let Pharaoh do teshuva so that he could be punished with the ten plague's. The Seforno says G-d didn't want Pharaoh to do teshuva so that G-d could bring the ten plagues and Bnei Israel could see them and have faith in G-d.


What is your opinion?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Because of Winn- Dixie.

As the book started off Opal did not have such a good relationship with her father the preacher. In the beginning of the book Opal was always calling her father sir. That could be an example of an okay relationship. I think Winn- Dixie changed Opal's relationship with her father. I think this because after Opal got Winn- Dixie the preacher started being with Opal more. For example, when Opal invited him to a party he said yes when he would normally say no. That happened at the end of the book.

Opal's relationship with the preacher changed as the book went on. For example, when Winn- Dixie got lost the preacher spent a lot of time looking for Winn-Dixie. When the preacher allowed Winn- Dixie to stay that was unusual because he would not usually do something like that. If Opal had a choice about what job she would want her father to be she would probably choose a different job instead of being a preacher. The reason why the preacher did not have a lot of time to be with Opal is probably because as a preacher he was always thinking of a sermon and thinking about his last sermon.
