It is at 9:00pm I thhink is going to be a very cool and fun party.This is a party that is make all the years when they come there is one in the Club Cartagena and one in the Club Union which is the one Iam going to go to.

A Scapegoat Zone

Sometimes stories or plays try to give us a message.Monsters are Due on Maple Street gave me a message and the message it gave me was that a scapegoat is not the better way to solve problems. I think so because they people from Maple Street were always trying to find a scapegoat with the minimum suspicious thing that happened. My message is related with the closing comments in that they said that they just let them without light and some of their machines without working and they pick the most dangerous enemy they can find...and it's themselves because beyond them they found a scapegoat which has nothing to do. A part in the story were I can show my message is for example when Les Goodman car started and everyone said he was suspicious, or when they said it was Charlie because he kill Pete Van Horn but he did it because he thought he was a monster, or when Charlie said it was Tommy because he knew about the thing that came overhead and what they wanted.

I think that "a scapegoat is not the better solution to problems" is a great message and I fill that is like that because when you are frustrated in a problem you just try to find the answer in the first thing you see or the first suspicious thing.This message applies still in today's world because you can see in the legal or illegal problem that they try to find someone so that the others don't get catch up and when they don't have suspicious they just invented and everyone is against that person just for saving himself. But sometimes because other people are saying that is other People fault they take them as the guilty one.

If I make the play today I will put illegal immigrants as the one's causing the blackout. The machines or objects that will be affected by the blackout will be; cellphones, gameboys, computers, ipods, mp3, and more things.My play will take place in a huge business city.Tommmy will know that the ones causing the blackout are illegal immigrants who want to stole the great Russian diamond.The people will not fight so much between them and will be united to fight against the illegal immigrants.At first they will try to find a scapegoat because they don't know of the illegal immigrants and they will try to solve the blackout but they wouldn't know what is happening so they find a scapegoat.

Lost at the Island of the Sun

splash, splash, splash we start to swim me and two friends and the sister of one of my friends. It was very in the morning and we didn't know what to do. Placka ta pun! "oh its katie she dropped something, " Lindsay said. Katie is 13 years old she is scared and concerned on what is happening she is a coward but we are going to help her, Jackie is her sister she is 5 years old she is a little sweet blond girl she is unconcerned on what is happening and for her it seems that anything it happening she is just playing with her duck and anything g matters, Jessica is very valiant and adventurous and me I am scared of what is happening but I am very adventurous.

Grrr, grr,grr our stomach sounded. "We haven't eat anything in the day we are very hungry," Katie said. Jackie had a big box of bubble gum which she was eating but needed real food. Jessica said. Jessica and me which we were the most adventurous decided to go into the jungle to see what we could find some food while Katie was with her sister. We found a palm tree with lots of coconuts we put them in a huge bag, the we find some delicious bananas, and some cacao tree that was fine for us we went to the beach again and everyone was very happy because we had food to eat then we went fishing Katie and her sister came with us we fish four fishes and a crab bite katie's finger she had blood and was crying we went fast to the beach and put a leave on her finger took a tree and we carved it and make a bowl we took the salty water of the sea and cook the fishes with eat them with banana and we drink coconut water.

We didn't have a place to sleep so we needed to find something there were lots of insects and mosquitoes and Katie was allergic to mosquitoes we get some wood and palm tree leaves we put the stick of wood in the sand and palm tree leave as a roof took more palm tree leaves and put them in the floor and we used some towels we had as blankets. " now everything id ready to sleep." Lindsay said.

Auch, auch, auch When we were eating some banana beside the shore a crab bite katie's finger she was yelling and crying and she had a lot of blood so we put her a leave tie with a string from a tree. "it hurts a lot."Katie said. She drink some water and she calmed down. She slept for a while and I went to find more stuff that we needed.

We were all so nervous the only one that had hope was Jessica I thought I was going to spend the rest of my lifetime in that Island couldn't find a solution although we search and search for one we didn't have any communication with the rest of the world."we are lost." Lindsay said.

We didn't have any transportation and even some hard wood to build a boat."I found a stick."Jessica said. We didn't have anything that could help us to get to a safe place. We didn't had any solution and we started to think in communication because transportation was too difficult without having communication.

bling, bling ,"I've got an idea."Lindsay said." I had a plan I once saw at a movie I took a coconut,then I took some gum Jackie was chewing and a wire string I found. I stick the wire stick to the coconut with the bubble gum and it worked it was like a radio we get o talk with the police and we told them were we were and they said they were going to do what they could.

We saw the bright sun we were very thirsty and now any of us had hope. We saw a little thing at the end of the ocean but we thought it was an illusion but it eally wasn't it was the police and our familiars they came to save us and we called that island the Island of the Sun. We thought we were spending our life and died there but we just spend a few hours. "We are safe." Jackie shout.

My minidiscotec

When I was in fourth grade for my 11th birth day I made a mini discotec to which I invite all my friends and family.I love the party decoration and my cake it was delicious and had a beautifully design was wearing a pink skirt and a pink t-shirt when Isabella came I was so impress she came with the same akirt and t-shirt as me the same color and the same earings i was wearing and it was just a coincidence we didn't decide to dress like that it was such a coincidence.

At the party everyone danced and had a great time. It was a party and everyone was happy but when they put a song that was about friendship everybody went in and start to cry. You ask why,because Mariana one of our friends was goignt o live to Medellin we were so sad and we cried a lot it was a great moment we all cry friends are very important in life almost like your family when they are such a good friends sometimes they become part of your family.

Finally we had a lor of fun me and my classmates well most of us like minidiscotec we love dancing and parting. We are a very dancing class.
Mariana many times comoes and visitis us right now she is here in Cartagena he came to past some days here because she is going to Canada.I hope you like my post and enyojed.

Two Wonderful Days on the Islands

On spring break,Valentina and her cousin Stefano were going to Stefanos island, an they were each allowed to invited one person. Stefano invited Sergio, and Valentina invited me. We were going to stay for two nights, so we left on Friday, and we returned on Sunday. Julian and his family were there too. We made lots of activities and played games.

When we got to the islands the first thing we did was to go to a place and rent some kayaks. We made races in groups, Julian was alone, Stefano and Sergio were together and Valentina and I were together. We were the last ones so we told the man that took us in the boat to tye us and pull us so we did it and when he started to go on a wave came and we fell down we laugh a lot and we didn't have bathing suit on so all our cloth was wet when we get to the island we put or bathing suit on.Ride kayak is very cool and is a good excercise I love to ride kayak.

We did many more activities and we had a great weekend we heard scary stories and make games.Going to the islands is a great activity i hope i will go many more times to the islands and with all my friends it would be a great weekend full of fun I hope you like my weekend.

My Reaction To my Problems

Everyone has problems. But each one has its own way to solve them, I deal with problems in my life sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad ways bad habits that I have is when I have problem sometimes I shout the other person and we make a bigger fight. Habits I use when I am trying to solve a problem is to discuss it calmly and talking about the problem to see what we would do about it'd. I use different strategies when I am under pressure and when I have time to reflect and think about it, When I'm under pressure is the time when I shout and make the problem bigger but when I can reflect and think about it I talk with the person and get the problem fix.

One day when I was at one of my friends house we were playing soccer and I step of one of my friends foot and then she was like ouch! And she start shouting at me telling me that I did it on purpose, and I told her that I didn't mean to do it, I shout at her and then we started fighting and we didn't talk to each other. Then we solve the problem and we were friends again think that we shouldn't shout at each other and talk slow and calmly. With all the fighting I forget to tell her that I was sorry and she didn't have to shout and me like that. I have many different ways of solving problems but I should mostly use the good way.

*My Weekend on The Islands*

At the beginning of the year, Valeria invited Isabella, Ana Carolina, and I to her island. We stayed there from Saturday, al the way o Monday, so we stayed for about 2 days. Everyday we rode kayaks, and it was super fun. On Sunday, some men in a little boat, more like a canoe, got near the island and sold u some fine bracelets and necklaces that they hand-made, they were incredible! Each one of us got one bracelets that meant something, for example, some of them meant frog, mother, dogs, and other things.

That same day, on Sunday, we rode kayak all the way to the other side of the island. It was fun, but we had some complications in the way. For example, we were very tired, so we were resting in the kayak, and the strong currents almost took us all the way to open sea, and we were very frightened. After those incidents we went to a reef nearby and snorkeled. We saw like about a million different types of fish, but one kind that I rarely saw, but I liked the most, was a blue colored fish with like sparkly dots all around it, it was surely a beautiful sight!

After all that adventures on Sunday, on Monday we had a lot more. We went to the island of a girl named Gabriela that is in 6th grade. That day we saw a lot of other people too. We saw Sergio and Juan Manuel that were on Stefano’s island, and they looked like they wee having a great time.

I had a great time on Valeria’s island. We had lots of adventures, we did hundreds of different activities, we saw great sceneries, we encountered lots of people, and we had a great time. I hope we go to her island again and have many more adventures than this time, although I had a blast!

Creating my Blog

At the beginning when I was creating my blog I thought that it was going to be great and fun and is still think that. I expected that creating a blog was going to be more difficult and more complicated and I now see it is, but is as cool as I thought. For me is very easy to maintain my web blog, my teacher make us to do two blogs and three coments per week so that way it is easier to maintaing my blog but if my teacher didn’t put us any blogs to do maybe it would be more difficult for us to maintain our web blog. Right now I think I am in the ride path and I am understanding all the instructions and things of blogger it is not so complicated and most think it is.

When we first started to create or blogs I thaught this was going to be very difficult. Then I understood everything clearly and it wasn't difficult.About putting links in the blogs is a little difficult, putting pictures in my posts is very easy, and settings and the rest of stuff is easy to.It surprise me alot that i did't think that I was going to have my own web page and was going to cretaed in my english class.About blogging I have learned about how to put links in any stuuf and how to make a blogger web. I had a great time creating my blog I hope yours to.

A Story Full of Suspense

Some days ago I read with my classmates a story called Three Skeleton Key, I like it a lot. It was a great story full of suspense and scary things. Though I didn’t like that Itchoua; one of the friends died, but it was an interesting story. I f you are one of those persons that like scary and suspenseful stories I recommend you to read it. I have never read a story like this one. In my life I haven't never had an experience like this and I don't want to have it.

I think that is to fake what they said about the rats that they drive the boat like theiy are so little and it would be to hard for them to take the steering wheel and drive. It was too much coincidence that there were sharks sorrounding the key.Maybe you have read other stories about this author that are very fun and you can recomend the author of this book is called George G. Toudouze he has made many of the stories in my english book he is a good author.

Finally i think it was a good story but with some fake and sad things lthough it was fine so if you one to know more details read Three Skeleton Key.

My weekend...

In this weekend I did many cool things. On Friday I went to sleep to Catalina's house, we had an awsome night. The next day we went to the pool and invited some friends.We called Margui,Isa G.,Vale M., Ana caro, Isa M., Suad and some boys. We first went to the Club Caratagena but there were lots of people, so we decided to go to the Club Union.We went to te pool and ejoyed it a lot.Then I went to cata´s house, take a bath and get myself ready to go out with my friends to Crepes & Waffles.

When we got there we ordered and ate the food, it was delicious. Later we ate desert, I love does ice creams. We saw other friends too , like people in 8th grade or people of others school. We talked for a little while and then went to get my things to my apartment because I was going to sleep in valentina's house. When we where ready, Margui´s brother came to pick up us to Mc.Donalds.

Later we got to vale´s house, we needed to be carefull because her parents where sleeping. So we put our pj´s on and started to have fun. At first, like at 11:oopm.we played in the computer and we also chated with some people by msn.A little while later, we heard music and started dancing High School Musical. We really had fun! At 2:00am we were a little hungry, so we whent to get some food to the kitchen. We had two sandwiches with peanutbutter with coke. Finally we were very tierd so we went to sleeped.

In conclusion, I had a wonderfull, fun weekend. That weekend was very special to me. I hope that every weekend could be as cool as this one. Sometimes I really think that this could´t happend if it wasn´t becouse of my friends. They maked this weeked much better than if was going to be. I hope this can happend again.

steve irwin...

Steve Irwin was famous for his program, The Cocodrile Hunter, and for his love for animals. Steve Irwin was born in Australia, were he started working with his dad by protecting cocodriles from illegal hunters and moving them to safe places.

A few days ago Steve Irwin was filming a documentary on ocean creatures and a stingray attack him. Stingrays are very shy and usually stay in the oceanfloor, but when they feel threathened they use barbs to protect themselves. People believe that the stingray felt threatened by Steve and the camera man.

Australia’s
Prime Minister John Howard said Irwin’s death is “ a huge loss to Australia.”
Howard called Irwin “a wonderful character” and a “passionate
environmentalist.”

Irwin spent his life facing danger in the wild. “Crikey!” Irwin would shout while wrestling crocodiles or handling poisonous snakes and spiders. His brave adventures were designed to teach the world to respect wildlife. Irwin also fought against the hunting of wildlife and worked with animals in their own habitats.

I think that Steve Irwin was a great person and should always be remember. He was doing things that anyone of us do, he was protecting animals because in the world just a few people take care of them. My sience teacher, Ms. Alba, told me something that is true. When you buy a puppy, you take care of him and you said "oh the cute pupy" but when he grows up you don´t take him out to walk and don´t take care of them. Animals have feelings! Protect animals, and always remember Steve Irwin, a great animal protector and a passionate environmentalist.

I got infromation from an article written by Dina El Nabli for Time For Kids News.

affect of technology on education

For me technology affects education in a good way because for searching things I need it like for example for buying my school backpack I search on the jansport website to see the design and see which one I like you can even bide things in the internet but you don’t know if it is to save to buy things. For me technology is a great and of the best humanity creations.

My expectations for creating my own blog for English are very good I think is going to be very cool because it is like making your own webpage and it is going to be my first time I think I am going to have fun.
