About My Vacation

My vacation was alright. It was a lot of fun because I get to play video games all day and all night. But some I did not play video games because I was grounded for talking back to my mom, and she was mad at for that. And I get to sleep in all the time too. But sometimes, while I am sleeping, my brother and my sisters always waking me up and its not fun.
On Thanksgiving day, we went to my mom's friends house. We stayed there for a long time and played alot too. For dinner, we had turkey, corn, stuffings, mashed potatoes and biscuits with gravy. And for destert, we had pumpkin pie, and cheese cake. When it was late, we were tired and we went home, but I stayed up.
I am thankful for not being a turkey. I am thankful for mom and dad (which he isn't here) feeding us, taking care of us, and helping us. And I am thankful for being born. Thats all I have to say about my Thanksgiving week.

Dialectic Journals part 2

He beg his Majesty's patience with this recounting of the events following the sack of a city of which he has never heard. Over the following decade more then six score battles, campaigns and wars were fought between and among the cities of Greece. Numberless farms were torched, temples burned, warships sunk, men at arms slaughtered, wives and daughters carried off into slavery. Each man of Greece knew what defeat in war meant and knew that sooner or later that bitter would complete its circuit of the table and settle at last before his own place.
His majesty has requested that I recount some of the training practices of the Spartans. Alexandros was a scion of one of the noblest families of Sparta. The Lakedaemonians are extremely shrewd in these matters. The army was at the Oaks, in the Otona valley, a blistering late summer afternoon, on an eight-nighter, what they call in Lake daemon, the only city which practices it, an oktonyktia.
One of the boys diedthat night. His name was Hermion. Sometimes they called him "Mountain". Alexandros nose never did heal properly. His father had it broken again, twice, and reset by the finest battle surgeons, but the seam where the cartilage meets the bone never mended quite right.

Dialectic Journals

This book is almost about 300. In the first chapter, one of the Spartan was capture because he survive in the battle. The king asked himself how he survive in the battle, who does he love, and how to make him laugh. The king wanted him to teach the king's soldiers to be the best soldiers in his kingdom.

They said that Thermophylae is a spa and the word in Greek means "Hot Gates" from the thermal springs. The springs and pass themselves were not considered by the Hellenes to belong to the natives on one of the area, but they said they are open only in Greece. They had a double spring sacred to Persephone, called the Skyllian fountain, on the foot of the bluff beside the Middle Gate. When the Spartan arrived, he refused to avail himself of this shelter.

I don't konw if this chapter is talking about someone's past or right now in the book, but I'll tell you what is about in this chapter. They had a slave in his father"s farm when (the talker is talking about his past) he was a child. The slave's name is Bruxieus. Briuxieus is a Elean and he was captured by the Argives in battle when he was only nineteen years old.

They found Bruxieus on the morn of the second day. His slave brand had saved his life. It was starting to rain on the evening. The East of the Field of Ares, where the fallen in the war were buried, there was a man digging a grave for an infant.

Someone said that the ghost linger and haunt the scenes of their days under the sun. Dienekes was walking with Alexandros, alone except for his own squire and himself, to a spot under the temple of Athena Protectress of the city. Dienekes already won two prizes of valor, at Erythrae against the Thebans, the Corinthians and their Arkadian allies. I think few days later, Dienekes sat opon the earth under the Twins. He gestured to Alexandros to take the place with him.

Bruxieus intuited his thoughts and he tried in his gentle way to disarm them. That night, the fever alternated with fits of teeth rattling ague. One fever racked night, Diomache and Bruxieus wrapped him with skins and set off foraging. Diomache reached him scrabbling over the snowy crest and he lurching into the grove of pines.

2008 Presidential Election

I am going for John McCain. I am going for him because he cares about the United States Of America. The reason why John McCain should be president because he does not turn his back against the flag during the pledge. Who does this remind you of? Oh yeah, Barack Obama. Obama does not know how to lead our nation. He has no military experience and does not care about the military and their families. McCain served in the military and should be our next commander in chief. He cares about the military and their families. I know because I am one of those military families. The military is what protects our nation and our freedom.

Barack Hussein Obama (that's his real name)... the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE... how can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief???? Read this article and decide for yourself. Also, in the article click on the link for the picture that shows him not pledging, http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2007/10/30/barack-obama-no-hand-over-heart-during-national-anthem.htm. If he did this early on in the presidential race, who knows what he will do being the president that does not support our nation. Also check this youtube site showing Obama not saluting the US flag during the National Anthem, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU9iCANi02o. There are too many questions concerning his background and his ties with certain people around the world.

Under a McCain presidency the United States will experience robust economic growth, and Americans will again have confidence in their economic future. Read this article on why McCain should be the next president, http://www.johnmccain.com/undecided/whymccain.htmJohn McCain/Palin will be a great team working together to bring our nation back to it's feet and help the American families for the next 4-8 years.Barack Obama should NOT be the next president. He does not have the experience or the leadership that John McCain has.

Photo I Like

1. This photo I like is Sonic the Hedgehog. He is the fastest blue hedgehog in the world. The picture looks like he is running to save someone. He made a lot of new friends in Station Square where he was transfered to there by the seven chaos emerlds. If he had all seven chaos emerlds, then he will transformed to Super Sonic.

2. My dad is a hero because he goes to the marines. He likes to make musics a lot and plays video games with me a lot. He also likes his plants and he wants to take care of it. But right now he is in Japan for two years.

Alliteration, Assonance, Consonance

On Saturday morning, I slept till ten o'clock. My mom told me to do the big backyard. The green grass was too tall and I had to cut the grass.After that, I had to help my grandma throw the tree branch over the old wooden fence. When I was finished the big backyard, I went to the shower and took some long rest.

On Sunday, my mom told my to do my homework. It took me for while to think what I was going to type about. Then I figure it out what I was going to type about. When I was finished my homework, we went out to dinner. It was a good place to eat and it was delicious.

Literary Device of the week

This is a game called Runescape. Every time you play this game a lot, you will keep playing the Runescape game a lot. This is a picture of five knights trying to defeat the three headed dragon. Maybe you should try it and play it. Oh yea, I forget to tell that you might see your friends online too.

The Epic

An epic is a poem about what a hero does.

Characteristics:
1. There are gods in this story
ex. Apollo sets Agamemnon and Achilles against each other.
2. A hero is more than a man
ex. Achilles is strong, swift, and godlike (line 129)
3. Fight over something important
ex. Agamemnon took Chryses daughter.

They were having a war at the woods. I think the the guy in the white shirt is a hero because he is fighting a lot of red jacket. They want freedom from the british soldiers.

who is a hero in my family

I think my hero in my family is my dad. My dad is in the marines and he has to go to japan tomorrow. We will miss him because he has to stay there for seven months or he has to stay there for two whole years. Thats all I know about my dad being a hero.

Public Hero

I think my hero in my eyes is Naruto. He is a ninja from the leaf village. He likes to eat ramen a lot and a troublemaker. The one thing he has and a lot of people are afraid of is a nine-tailed fox spirit in him. But he made a lot of new friends.
When the academy started, Naruto's teacher assigned Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura on Kakashi's time. Naruto has a little bit of trouble with Sasuke because Sasuke is better than Naruto and the girls always attract on Sasuke. And Naruto has a crush on Sakura, but Sakura has a crush on Sasuke. I think Naruto and Sasuke get along with each other. And they trained together.
The ultimate test was about to start and Naruto was so excited to be there. But one girl who has a crush on Naruto and a shy person was Hinata. She was so happy to see Naruto pass the academy. When the test started, Naruto was so scared because if he looked at anyone's test, he fails and Sasuke and Sakura will also fail too. Naruto was happy to pass the ultimate test, but he did not anything on the paper. After they made it to the center of the forest and did not fail.
Long period past and Sasuke turn himself bad because he thinks that the evil villain name Orochimaru has the power to defeat his older brother that killed his family and the clan. Naruto tried to get Sasuke back, but it was no use. Sakura was so worried about Sasuke so much that she can't think anything else but Sasuke. But Naruto wasn't given up to help Sasuke.
