3. Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature.8. If something is destined to happen, it will happen without your interference.

       I strongly agree that everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature. Without these character traits you would be perfect and nobody is perfect. Without lying, betrayal or violence everyone is your friend. We use these traits to depict our real friends from our fake friends. Honestly I am glad for the people that do these things so I know who to hang around and trust.

       If something is destined to happen, it will happen without your interference. This is the most correct/true statement I have ever heard. God has a plan for everyone on this earth. That plan is your destiny. If something you want to happen has not happened maybe it is because it is not your destiny. Since its not your destiny maybe you should leave it alone. When you leave it alone you would give a chance for you destiny to come through.

Hits and Misses

        The thing that has tortured me the most in this 9th grade english class is blog post. Blog post are very hard to write especially when it is a boring topic and still have to write two paragraphs. Sometimes I just sit here in front of the computer screen thinking about what to write. Some blog post you can not write two paragraphs for some topics. Although somehow I manage to ramble on with staying on topic to get two paragraphs. 

       The thing that I have been most successful with is is turning things on time and writing papers the write length. Also staying on topic with everything I write.  Sometimes I tend to ramble and never answer the questions correctly. Instead I talk about something totally random to take up space and only answer the question in one or two sentences. So that is one thing that makes me proud, that I don't random.

Strategies for Purple Hibiscus

       Purple Hibiscus is a very challenging book to read but I think the best strategies I use is reading ahead. When I read ahead I read the section that is due for that night and a little more. So the next day I read it agin and some more. So I read it twice to get a better understanding. This really helps for class discussions and with the post colonial cafe assignments.
       Another strategy that helps with understanding the book is reading aloud instead of in your head. It allows you to read fast while understanding what you read. They are both very helpful although reading ahead and reading it again is the most helpful. When using these strategies the book is less challenging if challenging at all.

384. Why do I Play Sports?

       Why do I play sports is a tricky question. If you ask somebody why I play sports they would say because he is tall and athletic but its more that that. I mainly play sports to get away from the mindsets that tend to cause me to be mad. When I am mad I tend to do two things play basketball or listen to music. Basketball clears my mind. When I dribble to take the shot nothing in the world can put worries in my mind at the time.
       The definition of a sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." I feel like this isn't all the way true. Sports are not just played for entertainment they are something that people use to be happy and live life. Also there is nothing like the adrenaline pumping in the 4th quarter and you hit the game winning shot and everyone goes crazy. It might be entertainment to others but, people play sports for a reason, because they love it just like I do.
