Report, to the Principal's Office by Jerry Spinelli - Chapter 1

The first chapter of Jerry Spinelli's ''Report to the princpal's office'' was pretty interesting. The setting is assumed to take place near the 1960's since both main characters of the book are from the babyboom. The two main characters are Sunny Wyler, and Hillary Kain. Hyllary and Sunny live in front of each other. Due to a huge increase in population due to the baby boom, Hillary and Sunny are sent to seperate schools. You see, the town built a new school to accomodate for the need, and the line seperating who goes to which school was put between both their houses, in middle of the road. Both girls are extremely anxious and sad of being seperated this year, and by the looks of it, they will do everything to be reunnited again. Up to now, the book seams pretty exciting, and I am anxious to read the next chapter.

4 UFC 103 Continuation

Other than the main event bout, which catapulted Vitor Belfort in a top contender ranking, there were many interesting fights that night. One of them was Efrain Escudero VS. Colde Miller. This lightweight bout impressed me because Cole Miller is a very dangerous lightweight, and Escudero’s biggest test to date, but this didn’t seem to impress Efrain at all. Around 3: 25 of the very first round, Efrain landed a big right hand on Cole Miller which rocked him and sent him to the ground. Then, Efrain landed a few more punches on Cole to secure his win, knocking him out cold and winning by TKO (Technical Knockout). In my opinion, Efrain will move up the lightweight ranks very easily, and quickly will become one of the top contenders for the belt. After all, Escudero is the winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 8, and Ultimate Fighter Winners have often made world champions. In conclusion, UFC 103 seemed to be a very interesting event, even if I didn’t get the chance to watch it. I hope to see more of Efran and Vitor soon.

3 Article Summary: UFC 103

UFC 103 took place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It was headlined by the main event bout between Rich ''Ace'' Franklin, and Vitor ''The Phenom'' Belfort. I didn't get the chance to watch UFC 103, so I read many articles describing it. I was impressed by some of the fight outcomes. First of all, I thought that Rich Franklin would of made short work of Vitor Belfort due to his high level, and continuous training compared to Vitor. But one variable which I didn't consider was that Vitor has changed training camps, and has restarted training seriously, with some of the top martial artists in the world. You see, when Vitor was only 19 years old, he concurred the light heavyweight division with ease, but due to many misshapennings in his personal life and career, he fell into depression and stopped training like he should of been thinking he had it all under his belt. For many years, his career just went downhill, and the young strong and lightning handed Vitor we used to know faded away. Unfortunately for “Ace”, the Vitor that showed up in the octagon that night appeared to be the young and feisty 19year old whom literally destroyed some of the most deadliest fighters in MMA history.

What I did today

Today, I gave a speech about three things I brought in. I was the first to start in class. The three things I brought in were my cell phone, my keys, and my lucky charm(Philippe Leblancs card). Then, I did part of a comprehension test. Afterwards, I completed my assignments of the day which included, a 10sentence summary of a chapter from a book of my choice, 10sentences on my online diary, and this post on what I did today.

Chapter 1 - Holes

For my second reading assignment, I chose to read Holes by Louis Sachar. The reason of my doing is because I thought there were copies of The Chrysalids left at school, so I left my book home. The first chapter of Holes is a description of the setting. The setting takes place in a camp in Texas called Camp Green Lake. At Camp Green Lake, there is no lake anymore. It has dried out, and now all that is left is a barren plain of dirt and dust. Beside where the lake was, there is a log cabin and two trees. The two trees make the only shade of the entire area, making the hamock between them a prised place. The cabin is property of the warden of the camp; a vicious lady whom we don't know the name yet. A description of the dangerous wild life nearing the area is discribed. Rattlesnakes, scorpions, and yellow-spotted lizards including that description.

Chapter One - The Chrysalids

For my first reading assignment, I read the first chapter of ‘’The Chrysalids’’ by John Wyndham. The chapter starts off by explaining the dream of a young boy named David. Later on, David tells about his dream to his older sister which advises him not to tell anyone about it. As the chapter unravels, we start getting a sense that the story takes place in a dystopia led by strict religious dictatorship. This is why his sister had advised him not to speak of his dream; to avoid unwanted attention from authorities. A few years later, when David was around 10, he ran off to play in the forest near his home. He met a young girl named Sophie which stuck and hurt her foot between two rocks while playing with him. David helped Sophie free and to her home, and noticed she had six toes. Sophie’s mother made him promise not to tell anyone about her sixth toe for Sophie could get in very big trouble. David realized while walking back home that the reason she could get in trouble, is that according to the bible, if a being doesn’t fit the description of a human, she isn’t one and therefore is hateful insight of god.

My summer... NOT

This summer was very exciting. I went in Australia.
I went fishing in the ocean. I caught a huge shark last night.
I got a new car this summer. My new car is a GeoMetro.
Salmon was far from abundant this summer. Even if salmon lacked in rivers this year, I caught one million.
Fires occurred almost every night on the beach. They were caused by too many hippies smoking.
My summer varied between working and partying. I worked eighty hour weeks at Mc Donalds.
This summer season wasn't very good for wakeboarding. The water was very calm and ideal for wake.
I ate tones of kraft dinner this summer. Eating so much "KD" cost me a fortune.
Being the only man at work was a very fun experience. The ladies at Jean Coutu hated me.
I drove my car a few times during the vacations. I got ten accidents and lost a leg in one of them.
