The wave


1. This book takes place in Gordon high, Palo alto, California

B. Some of the clues the author gave us were: That in the newspaper office there were typewriters in which nowadays we don't use. Another clue was that they had to work with all the cables in the projector because now we just have to click a button and its on the screen. Another clue was that it said film, because now instead of using films we usually use DVDs or we just get it off the Internet. The last clue was that that they used to smoke there and now days if your in high school you'll get kicked out.

3. A sentence that stood out to me was: he was "contagious," they'd say, meaning he was charismatic. this sentence shot up at me because it means that he explained things so well and he made them sound so interesting that other people wanted to hear about it. I also chose this sentence because if i was Ben i would also enjoy talking such enthusiasm. Or if i was the student i would surely enjoy hearing about all the things Ben had to say.

4. A question i had was, if you could have seen the video how would you have felt. would you have felt like Laurie.

Betty ann

1.The saddest part of betty ann was when it said "some mistakes can't be erased. No matter how old or young we are." I thought this was sad because it's true if you make a really bad mistake you cant change it.

2. I would have standed up for betty ann when they were making fun of her.

3.You may think your words won't hurt the person your shouthing them at but they can really hurt them or even destroy them.

Hypnosis driving

1.She would of passed right through a sweet, temporary sleep into a dark heavy sleep of death
I chose this sentence because it's a awfull feeling thinking you'll wake up later but you never will.
I also chose it beacuse if you're asleep and that happened to you, you'll never know why or how you died.

2. I think it isnt fair of the goverments part to put people under hypnosis because you go in thinking you'll problaby pass on everything except the curve or something. Then all of a sudden you're driving and everything seems perfect then all of a sudden you're going down a hill at top speed and you just crash. When you wake up the people from the car department tell you it was all an illuson and you just have to sign these paper but it's like everything its all still a dream.

3. I thought it was like a clue to the man that maybe he still was in the dream. It could also mean that life is but a dream. I though it meant life is but a dream because ussualy everything that happens in the real life seems lile a dream.

Discover Facts

Today we learned about the great praries and about the tundra. We learned that the snow geese migrate all the way to the north pole. we also learned that some animals that live underground are piccas. Another thing we learned was that when you ussualy have a wet season it's followed by a dry season. So if you were a elephant and you stopped by a watering hole be prepared to share or you might get eaten. There are servall types of birs and monkey in the rainforest. While the monkey's may come out in the day the frogs ussualy come out at night, ehich is the time when they mate.
