Response On Alexis' Blog

          I recently finished a wonderful blogpost by Alexis Reid  . She is in class 807 and she has Ms.Galang as a ela teacher. the blog that she wrote that I really liked was called Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyers and it was a very interesting and good blog. The thing I liked about her blog was that it had many important details. Alexis stated many good things about the book and about how Bella's life was.
           Alexis talked about Bella's life and that her mom and dad are divorced and she went to her dads house in the summer to visit because she lives with her mom. Bella dad lives in a small town in washington called folk town and it was very weird and different from her moms town. Also  I liked how alexis used the word gloomy for some reason because no one uses it so I thought it was very clever of her to use it. Bella meets these to boys name Edward Cullen and Jacob Black and they both had some sort of mixed feelings for Bella.
           Bella realized that Edward had some different behaviors than other people. Sooner or Later Bella figures out that Edward is a vampire by his behavior because he doesnt like the sun , he loves drinking blood, he can hear noises from a mile away and also he runs really fast. Also she figured out that he was a vampire because of a book she was reading and he saved her life from getting hit by the car and he dented the car because he was very strong.      
          I liked how alexis stated her opinion about how she feels about Bella. For example, Alexis said Bellla was a strong person becuase when Bella found out that Edward was a vampire she didn't get freaked out or scared by it but alexis states that if that was her shw would of been scared and freaked out about it. Also i liked when she said that she wasn't scared about Jacob being a werewolf because maybe she had experence from Edward so she wasn't scared.
            Overall Alexis' blog was very delightful to read and fun. I think she did a good job on explaining the book and how felt about everything.

The Bully

     During class I recently finished a book called " The Bully " its from the bluford high series. It was about young boy named Darrel who lived in the projects in Philadelphia for almost his whole life has to move because his uncle called his mom and offered her a job in California so the mom takes the offer because they need the money and she would like a better house. Darrel doesn't agree with his mom, he wants to stay in Philadelphia because all his friends are there especially his bestfriend.  to bully Darrel because the whole school was sot of scared of his bestfriend. So now Darrel is on his own. He never learned how to stick up for himself.
     Darrels bestfriend always use to protect him. Now that Darrel is moving he's leaving his bestfriend behind and he is starting a new highschool and fears that he will get bullied because he's short and skinny so its easy to be bullied. So Darrel is nervous to start off his first day at Bluford High because he has no friends, he has no one to talk to. Also he is nervious because he is scared that he is gonna get bullied. He scared that hes gonna get bullied because he usually has his bestfriend and he's very tall so no one bothered to bully him. Darrels bestfriend is the tallest from all the other bullies because hes like 6 ft and Darrels really short so he didn't know how to protect himselve until his bestfriend came around to protect him and have his back through everything.
     All Darrel's fears came true about him getting bullied at bluford high! He got bullied by this kid named Tyray Hobbs. For some reason he loved bullying Darrel. Darrel couldn't do anything because he was to scared and he didnt have the guts to do it. Darrel struggled everyday at bluford high because or Tyray Hobbs when is he gonnd do something about it. whar makes it even scarier for him is that Tyray is way bigger than him and also way stronger. Tyray would threaten Darrel every week for money he would collect $10 every week, and if Darrel doesn't have it he would hurt him.
     Darrel has to try to stick up for him self he can't keep living like this in fear. Darrel deserves to be happy like every other teenager. Darrel keeps thinking to himself if he should keep hiding from Tyray or just finally stick up for himself and get on with his life. So finally Darrel sticks up for himself and now everything if fine.
      All in all bullying some one is bad in so many ways. No one deserves to be bullied , no one should ever go through a faze where they are scared of someone or scared that someone is going to hurt them in anyway what so ever. Also I think you should stick up  for yourself, because maybe the only reason why the bully bullies you is because they think your weak or scared but if you stick up for yourself they would leave you alone.
