Dear 11-year-old

Dear 11-year-old,
      With what I know a 11 year old can not trust everyone and any body. Also you can't call everybody your "friend". Friend is a very strong word. A friend is someone you can count on and trust. Everyone is not trustworthy or honest. People can do stuff like tell people your business that you thought was just between you.
       Its very complicated to say the word friend and I don't use it unless I'm talking about people I went to elementary school with. You have to realize everyone is not going to like you and nothing is wrong with that. Also watch it because people can pretend to be your friend but be the first ones to stab you in the back. I wish I really would've known that.
   

Reflecting On My Literacy Narrative

     The literacy narrative was a fun thing to write. I think I did pretty good on writing my first literacy narrative. I felt like writing out vivid details was a challenge for me. As I was writing, I very seldomly got writers block. Everything flowed to me. The writing process is a little long but very effective. I felt as we could have had more people edit it, though.
      It was very hard to write about a trip. The whole time I was focusing on the on the whole trip. Instead of focusing on the part where significance came in. It is very troubling to have vivid details all through you paper. The only part that easy to have details is when the significance comes in. Overall I think it was good and easy to write the narrative.

9/11

     There was more to 9/11 than most people know, there was actually four planes that were hijacked to carry out suicide attacks on the U.S. the people that hijacked the plane were militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda. The two planes we know of hit the World Trade Center in New York. Another plane was flew into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Then the last plane hit a field in Pennsylvania. This lead to massive destruction and many deaths.

      With the triggering of major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism  and defining the presidency of George W. Bush its was a tough time. The first plane crashed into the first tower at the 80th floor, killing  hundreds and then trapping people on the higher floors of the 110 story building. The plane that crashed in the field in Pennsylvania was intended for the White House but, the passengers stopped that from happening. About 125 people were killed at the Pentagon. Almost 3,000 were killed at the World Trade Center and 10,000 were wounded and treated. This was one of the most tragic events that happened in the U.S.

The Maze Runner

  The Maze Runner is a book that pulls you in and never lets you go! The author engages my attention by making it a mystery. There steady wondering how did I get here and what's going on. One day the main character Thomas just wakes up in an elevator with no memory beside his name is Thomas. It's making you think about what if this happened to me. The author doe a great job of putting you in the shoes of the characters.

  The vivid details show that the author wants us to believe in whats happening and it might happen one day. You can tell that Thomas is scared and has no idea what's going on. Although he seems determined to to help and find a way out. The author also shows that Thomas has a tough personality by not being pushed around by anyone or being bossed around. Everyone thinks there's something wrong with him but he's just trying to find a way out.
