OR Q2

When they take off to leave Max decides to leave the youngest (gas man) and the blind one (Iggy) the rest of them went to save angle. They took off and flew for a couple hours of the eight hour flight then stopped at a empty moutian lodge to get some food and take a quick break. They lied down for a half hour break and the next thing they know its morning and they had slept for six hours. Max is upset she let this happen and gets back to flying asap. They fly for a couple more hours and are about to take another break when max sees a little girl in trouble. She tells the others she has to do something and shell catch up with them in a little bit. then she starts her decent.

The auther uses a lot of sensory words. when the mutant kids are flying the auther makes it feel really real throught the languege he uses.

Class with a sub

I did enjoy the freedom of just having work time with out the subs intrusion but our assignment was a little extensive. i dont think we should have to find 25 things it was a little rediculous. If a normal paper will average 3 0r 4 per paragraph why couldnt we just find 15 or 16 good quotes instead of 25 decent ones. i understand -paraphrasing now and i think i did a pretty good job at it. Today the sub was ok she didnt really bother us but was not helpful on the subject of paraphrasing.

OR Q2

The book i am reading this quarter is titled Maximum Ride : The Angel Experiment written by James Patterson. The book is about five kids that were genetically engineered to have superpowers and wings. They all are living alone together in the woods. They lead a simple life with only one concern, Erasers. Erasers are half man half wolf creatures made from the same lad the five children were made from but the Erasers wanted the children back so the would come and try to capture them and bring them back to the lab to be tested the dissected. One morning all five children were going to pick berries and a bunch of Erasers came out of the woods. There was a big fight and the Erasers got away with the youngest of the five, Angle. This is when Max, the leader decides they have to fly to the lab and save her.

Quote:
(141) the quote is really long so i will just summerize it.
this is a quote were Max the leader of the group tells the group of mutants that they need to stick together and everthing will be alright.

I like this quote because coming from a child it seems to really show how much they care about each other.

Ethics paper

I still don't really understand the difference between ethics and morals but I'm starting to get the idea. I kind of like the idea of this research paper it is better than doing one on a famous person or something like that. I also thought the article about the Internet was interesting. I don't think is OK for people to get suspended for doing things out side of school unless it is hurtful or threatening to other students and the same goes for people with jobs. I enjoyed the time we had in the lab today it helped me get the idea of how to use SIRS ( which is an awful acronym). Overall this has been a pretty good weak in enriched English 10.

All My Sons

I thought that the play All My Sons was alright. I enjoyed the end of the play but it took 70 pages before i really got into it. So overall i thought it was a pretty good book maybe a 6 out of 10. i think one theme of All My Sons was family. A large amount of the plot was based on family. When joe let all the cracked engine parts be sent he was doing it for his family and because of that he thought it was all right. When he lied about being sick and let his business partener take all the blame he did it for his family so once again he thought that made it ok. On the other hand his son Chris felt that family was not an excuse to do any of those things. chris thought it was horrible what his dad did even though it was for family. i think the main theme is the importance of family over strangers based on everyones personal opinion.
