snow

I love snow. If it snows a lot I'm going to bust out my snowboard. I love the looks of every thing. It looks like a picture. Building snow men and snow ball fights are awesome. I think it might snow but not a lot. I hope it snows a lot so we can have a white winter.

Essay

The book I'm Reading is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part time Indian. Its a novel by Sherman Alexie. I thought the book was by far interesting and really good. I would recommend the book because its funny, sad, bizarre. Its flat out a good book. Jr is going through hard times. People don't believe in him but he doesn't let that get him down and keeps on believing in himself.

Jr lived on the res until his high school years. He left the res to better his life even though the others don't believe in him. When he moved to an all white school he was bullied and back on the res everybody thought he was a Indian hater and a traitor. Going back and forth was hard for Jr because people on the res and at school treated him poor now. At the res they think he is trying to be better then all the Indians on the res. They think he is trying to be a white lover. At the all white school he was looked down on. They just thought he was a dumb Indian.

At the all white school they thought he was a loser Indian until he stepped up and punched the bully in the face. Now everybody is giving him respect. The girl that he liked named Penelope got with Jr after he got more respect. Getting friends, being on a sport's team and a having a girlfriend I think boosted Jr's confidence. He didn't let the bully get him down and he believed in himself.

Jr believed in himself and he didn't let anything get to him. Now he has friends and that helped him boost his confidence. I think now that Jr accomplished some goals he believes in himself. Time made him a stronger person.

I'm reading a book on Bob Dylan called Revolution In The Air. Its about his life behind the music. Where he grew up as a kid, how he started writing music, how his family was, How life has changed since 1957 to 1973. I just started reading the book so I cant say much yet.

I'm very competitive when it comes to drumming. I have to be the best which I am. I've taken drum lessons and been playing for 7 years. I won two competition. So my motivation to be the best is pretty high. A lot of drummers are very cocky so you can call me cocky when I play.

My friend Riss just lost her cousin. So I imagined what she is going through. So I put myself in her shoes. That must be hard. I felt sad because if I lost my cousin that would be the worst. We are very close just like my friend and her cousin. I feel really sorry for her. Empathy is when a feeling is shared, or when some one feels sympathy for some one and puts them self in the other persons place in the time being, whether its sad or anger.

Your Choice. Poem

Incarnated marvels so simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind.
Pity on those with the attempt of perfect living erase and rewind.
Stand rigid for the next battle peace means reloading your guns.
The love for life is a hatred in disguise. A caravel creation with life un masked.
In search for a guide line to the gate way of sin. My lifes a prison of Missouri and its locked in my mind.

And day lights has finely reached its end. As even falls and strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moon light sicking souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices summoning screams waiting for Satan to bless their sins. like tortured angles fallen from Grace possessed by the search for altered darkness.

I think Junior and Rowdy will become friends again. I think they'll let the past be in the past. If I were junior I would try to talk to him and get him to change his mind and forgive him and see if he would forgive me.

Why I think JR changed

I think Junior changed because, when he first went to the new town he felt shy, nervous, uncomfortable and kind of like a misfit. He probably felt different because he was going to an all white school and turning his back on the rez. So everybody at the rez thinks he's like an Indian hater. He started out shy. At first when he moved to a new school, it went bad for a little bit. Then he stood up for himself and started earning respect. Now he has friends and a girlfriend so I think people are starting to like him.
