1.In this book i saw a lot of action because of the way vince luca handled things. I feel this book gave a lot of courage for the young boy and his father. Life changes when you are near different types of people that react different then you and in this book it showed a lot about feelings and emotions of a boy and his father. I actually liked this book because it was funny, fun to read, and has a good ending. I liked the ending the most because the main idea of the story came from in the story. The author i think was trying to show feelings and courage in people that change to different people.
2.My favorite event in this story was when vince luca accidently took money from his father. I liked the action in this part of the book and i hope Gordon ( the author ) makes a sequel.
3. How do you think vince luca will deal with his father in the past after a few years when the book is over?

1.I think this book was good at someparts like when Vincent Luca accidently took money from his father. Although i really didn't like the book that much because it didnt make sense, because the story started out with two people in a car talking about nothing.
2. My favorite character in the book was vince luca because his atitude was better than his father. He actually wanted to do something in life which was acting. I think that if vince would of told his father how he felt it would of been a more interesting story.
3. Do you think vince will talk to his father for a while , just about his life, situations, and his career in life?

P.S Jaylon had to do his post on my blog because his google account was messed up in the sense of his password and email werent working. So we tried and tried and we finally got just my blog up.... luckly we made it on time... its 11:58
jaylons mom sent you an email telling about our situation but it doesnt matter because we just got it done!

Response:
1.I think that this book has gotten a little hard to read in these past chapters. The main character seems like he is a in way tricking people in the book because of his actions. I feel in this book there has been some action scenes and quiet scenes.

2. My favorite character in the book so far is vince luca because when he started out for a new life he became a better kid and not all of a gangsta. i like how he has progressed through the book.

3. When do you think vince luca will progress his life even further then he did?

RESPONSE:

1.I think that the main character in this book was crucial. i think that this book showed a lot of agent work and fear. The first 68 pages gave me a picture of what the book is going to be about because of the turn of events and the action that had already started.

2. I like this book so far because of the dad and how secret he is in his FBI work. I like the FBI parts and the money handleing chapters. i think this story will be fun to read because it is tempting to read ahead and see what happens next.

3.what do you think the congressman will do when he finds out the news of what happens to his son?

Project Reflection: Post on your Blog


Project Title: _______________________Website project_____________________________________

PURPOSE: In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.







The purpose of this project was to learn how to make a website and how to use technology better.
In order to learn about penguins ( my page ), we had to create/perform/write pages of notes that helped us learn more about our subject.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.








I learned research, writing, teamwork, and technology skills and compete for exciting prizes.
I explored the concepts/topics of penguins and water pollution because that was the main topic in my group that i had to focus on.
In this project, i learned how to think, connect, create, and share. We worked in teams to build innovative and educational websites to share with the world.


REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?








I enjoyed this project because it was fun to work with dream weaver and to experience the project
I feel like i could have done better on this project because it was such a hard project and it is hard to pull through and make the pages.
Next time, i would work harder and get my work done faster.
ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?

I have a lot of pictures of penguins and links to the other pages which show the other work.

AUTHOR___________George Orwell_______ PAGES ___1___-_____139__
TOTAL PAGES THIS WEEK_______39 and finished the book___

RESPONSE:
The animals unleashed their angry on the humans. I think these animals were being very fierce to fight the humans. Conrad napoleon is being protected by the other animals.
The animals commandments is a huge commitment to their army and their leader. Their sense of pride and confidence in what they say and do really shows how mad they are. This is a big thing for the animals and they want to do everything and trying to do anything they can to kill the humans. I could relate the religion of the Christian's on how god gave moses commandments, commandments are also in this book and show how committed the animals are to be free from the humans. Napoleon ( the boar ) was on sale but has a reputation of getting his own way. His own way concluded into the final chapters. His leadership stood out to me the most. I liked this book because of the way the author told the story. He told it in a way where two organisms face off.

RESPONSE:
The person who stood out to me the most was the tame raven out of all the animals because he reminds me of marthin luthar king who had a dream. The raven had a dream to get rid of the human race and be free. He thought the humans threatend the animals and he took a stand so i like him the most because of his hard work and effort the raven put into making a triumph. He is a good speaker and can get the animals attention quick and states his point very well. I think the raven has been hurt and probably seen animals die from humans and cant take it anymore so he wants to gather all the animals and make a stand. ( like marthin luthar king ) ( whites vs blacks,,,, aniamls vs humans )
