Theme in the book "To Kill A Mockingbird"

Some major themes in the book ,To Kill A Mockingbird is don't be racist and courage. The author of this book , To Kill A Mockingbird reveals the theme of the book by showing all the problems that happen through out the book, For example, the case of Tom Robinson, Atticus standing up for him, and slowly through out the book people start to disgracing Atticus just because he his defending Tom Robinson. One lesson that the charters will learn in this book is that the more you care about someone the more they care about you. A lesson that Harper Lee wants us to know by the end of the book is never give up in what you want and always have courage in what you believe in.

To my Parnets (Parent Expo)

Dear, Mom, Staff of 339.

The biggest accomplishment I have done in E.L.A so far in this year are many accomplishment but so far I have done getting a A+ in the first making period, doing a great job that why I got an A. I accomplished a lot in the compare and contrast essay. One of my favorite unit so far was the compare and contrast essay. I think I did a good job in that unit because I was comparing Barack Obama and John McCain. What we did in that unit was write an essay.We been using the technology very much this year in many ways, like the school we have been using the cis339online.org wed site , goggle doc , goggle email, Ning.com, and as am using now Blogger.com. Technology has help us with a lot of thing because the internet is way better then writing on paper and it has help us with reading and writing, etc. My goal for the rest of the school year are, getting A+ in every class,pass to the 9th grade (HIGH SCHOOL) , Learn as many things as I can so I can be somebody in the future.

Election Relection

What made this election historic was that Barack Obama won and never in the history of all the election a African-American men won the electon to become president. What this historic election mean to me that Barack Obama won mean to me that it is good and I'm very excited that he won because since Barack Obama is democrat everyone know that there is going to be a big change and I feel that also the United States feel the same way as I do. As Barack Obama the new president of the U.S I feel that on Jan,20,2009 Barack Obama is really going to make a change and big ones too. For the next 4 years I predict that he is going to be the first African-American that soon make a change and everything will not be the same. Includding to that tough I feel that he would make Health Care much better and many more. As a citizen of the U.S I will love for Barack Obama to take care of the our education first because as everyone knows Barack Obama has kids and everyone want the best for their kids , so I know that he will solve that problem first. I do think that Barack Obama will pressure and live up to all Barack Obama choses because as far as I know I know that Barack Obama will do all the best choses and make the United States so much better to live in.

Reading Resonped #1

First, what I can say about what happen in my book today is a boy
named Dave and what he is going though is very tragic.This book is called "The Lost Boy" and it is the conutined by the book "The Child Called It". and his mother is very bad to him,she makes him do all the chores and he can't have food with out her permission.He goes though a lot as a little boy.

What I can perdict about the story is that Dave is going to tell his dad to try to talk to his mother to see if his mother is ever going to change with him.An Inferences that I can make about this book is that Dave father is going to talk to his mother an his mother is not going to agree with mother and Dave (the litttle kid) is still going to live his normal life and there is not going to be any different.
