Email to Ryan's dad

Dear Dad,

How are you, miss you lots. It has been too long since I  have seen you. School has been good so far, I am learning a lot and being part of school activities. I'm still playing baseball and my team is doing very well. We have won two games. I still remember all the memories we had when we played catch. One memory I remember was when you and me threw the ball back and forth to each other that would be the time I never forget. My life is going good. Jessica and I are getting along great and I am  helping  mom around the house. I have met some new friends at school that I'm getting along very well with and we hang out together at lunch time. I took part in the science club and did very well on my science project. The librarian let me use the Internet when I told her I was writing this email and I told her that you are in the National Guard overseas. Hope to hear and talk to you real soon.

love,
Ryan    

Conflict in “Thank you M’am”

Conflict in “Thank you M’am”

            In the short story “Thank you M’am there are several types of conflict. Firstly, Roger has a conflict with him self. Roger makes a choice to not steal a second time:” The boy took care to sit… away from the purse” (Hughes 150) Also, Roger has a problem with Mrs. Jones.  When Roger tried to steal her purse she “kicked him in his blue-jean sitter” (Hughes 146). Thirdly, Roger has a conflict with society. When Mrs. Jones says, “Ain’t you got anybody home? … “and he says “No’m “. (Hughes 147).

In conclusion there are three different types of conflict in the story “Thank you M’am”.

The Dark Ones

After reading the story the "Dark Ones" I realized it was a very sad short story. I feel that my awareness of animal rights includes that all animals should have the freedom to do what they want and go where they want in the water or on ground.  I don't think it was right for the seals or whales to get hurt or get killed because they are good sea animals that would live for a very long time in the water. I think the story has raised awareness of animals rights because I don't think the hunters should harm seals or whales.  I think they should just leave them be and not destroy their human nature. I think the hunters should not kill or harm the seals or whales because they are very good sea creatures that don't harm anyone else and or hurt other people.  Finally I think human nature and freedom should be  protected instead of getting destroyed, killed and hurt.
Animal Rights

This is a word wall of  words that describe me.

My start of grade 9

My start of grade 9 was so much fun because I took drama and french and geography.  I had 3a lunch which was good because I got to eat lunch with all my close friends. Drama was so much fun because we did so many different activities. Drama is so much fun and it is my favourite class of all. In drama we performed monologues and some acting and some other activities. My other classes  were pretty interesting and enjoyable because some of my friends were in them and I got to sit with them.   Drama and lunch were so much fun because  they were my favourite times of the day. Those were the days I'll never forget.  Being in grade 9 was kinda nice because I got to explore what it was like during my first year in high school. I was so excited to start a new year and meet lots of new friends.
