My plan over the summer is just do what ever comes around but I have no real big plans though. I might just relax for the whole summer or not do any thing I just don't know.

I plain on keeping my reading up by doing a few things, read, read, read, read, read, read, read and read.

Thursday, June 2, 2011

There was a loud crash and suddenly in the back of the airplane and I thought to my self " the president", so I go up and ran. As I was running I ran in to a cloud of black smoke, it smelled like burning plastic and electrical circuit boards with a ting of jet fuel. It was almost like the whole side of the 747 was on fire,but where was the president. As I searched his office in the black smoke as I was cupping my mouth with my elbow sleeve so I could breath. As I tripped and fell, stumbled and collapsed looking in the pitch black room the only low light was from the door I came from. Then another explosion I fell to the floor with a thud, the pilot came on the intercom with the announcement "we just lost engine one". So I climbed to my feet and left the room and headed for the president's bedroom. As I was running down the hall of flickering light looking in every room all of a sudden another explosion behind me I flue forward about ten feet or so. In air I extended my arms out of instinct protect myseft, when I landed I felt my arm crack. When I rolled over I felt the slitting pain of my arm, it was broken my body was throbbing form the explosion the pilot came on the intercom again "we lost engine three". So then I stumble through the rest of the hallway until I arrived at the presidents personal quarters I walk in only to be greeted with a gun to the side of my head but there in front of me was the president.

the point of education

I think the point of education is about learning how to do something so later in life you will understand how to do your job better. Although nowadays to get a good job you need to get a good education other wise, they won't let you. Most jobs require you to have a collage degree, although its really hard to get one.

Family

I consider family to be people who love and care about you all lot. People who aren't your family usually are your close friends, step brothers and step sisters. I consider my family to be my mom, dad, sister, step brother, and my best friend.

Thursday, May 19, 2011

There is no difference between my generation and my parents or grandparents generation. At least I don't think so. My parents have a Facebook and so do my grandparents and I don't have one. They all have cell phones and so do I. The only thing I have that they don't is a video game system.

It would have to be my ADHD. The reason why is because it makes it hard to focus and I always have to move constantly, my mind also race and its really hard to stay on topic and its almost impossible to just think about one think at a time. Mostly because my mind would be thinking about lets say a cup and then I'll start thinking about why did the Chinese use bamboo instead of all the other trees in China. I think life would be allot easier with out it. In fact I probable wouldn't be here if I didn't have ADH.

bacon

I get annoyed by T.V advertisements they come on to much and I'm pretty sure that no one else like commercials either. I especially hate the commercials for stuff like for the ASPCA because they're all too sad and they play them all the time.
The tostatas from La Hacienda Real are amazing. They are the best ones I have ever had besides the ones my mom makes me, those are so much better.

news

I usually don't keep up with the news mostly because I don't watch it. The way I heard about Bin Laden's was when my friend told me about it on the news. I was happy that they found him and now we're done with the country and now our troops can go home.

back of the book

Kit Tyler was a young girl, strong, ambitious,and kind hearted. Her life was perfect, until her grandpa died and she was forced to move from Barbados. So her only choice is to go live with her aunt and uncle in Connecticut. Kit meets some nice people on the way including Hannah Tupper a Quaker women who lived in the forest near Black Bird Pond. Will Kit's life be just as good as it was back in Barbados or will her life change for ever?

Monday, May 2, 2011

I think the message of the story is don't keep secrets that could kill you one day. Like when Kit asked herself if she should tell her uncle that she was going to Hannah's house.

the drivers manual

The drivers manual is hard to read because its very confusing and hard to understand. It also been hard to remember the stuff in the book over time because I'm kind of a slow reader. So for the past three months I've been reading it I have been forgetting what I have been reading. So, to me its a hard book to follow.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

They slept next to some logs on the beach. Then in the morning Kit saw the Dolphin sailing away so she went and swam out to it and tried to stop it, and she did. So then Kit got them to turn around and take Hannah with them, and they did. After that Kit went home and then some people came to their house and charged Kit with witchcraft.

I'm going to pick number three. I picked three because to me it looks the easiest to do. I also picked it because I feel like I will do well on it.

Friday, April 22, 2011

The last time I was in a hospital I had just been hit by a truck. Although when I was in the hospital I was so drugged up I couldn't remember what had happened or where I was. All that I can remember is when I woke up asking where I was and what had happened. Then I heard my mom say that I was in the hospital and that I had been hit by a car. I can also remember when they moved me from downstairs to a upstairs room. I can also remember when my nurse pulled my catheter out, that so much by the way. But the good part about that was that my teacher and student conselor came to see me, that was the best part of that experience. It was almost as exciting as leaving the hospital.

Would I help a stranger even if it put my life in danger

Yes and no, if it was my friend yes I would but if it is someone I don't know that's a different story. Like lets say it was someones time to die like God demanded it. Who am I to decide or change that but if I knew that person then I would do everything I can to help no matter what.

Monday, April 18, 2011

My weekend was good nothing really exciting happened. I am also kind of sleepy, I could not get out of bed this morning so that's why I'm in the late class this morning. Im kind of in a normal mood I guess.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

I think Judith is a kind of person that wants to look good. This is true because in the book she was a little jealous of Kit's nice clothes she brought. I also think that Judith is a social person because she is so excited about the husking bee.

simple sintences

People didn't like Hannah, and so everyone thought she was a witch. They didn't like her because Hannah was a Quaker and Hannah lived by herself in the meadows. Kit, Nat, and Prudence went to visit Hannh anyway because they tought she was nice.

Monday, April 11, 2011

I think telling little white lies is, sometimes bad and sometimes good. OK I'm going to be honest I don't know what to write so I'm going to make this quick. Lying is bad at certain times like if you are lying to hurt someone that's bad.. But if you're lying to keep someone from getting hurt, its OK I guess. 

Friday, April 8, 2011

My parents pick my name in a very weird way I guess. When I was born my parents didn't have a name for me yet. so for three or four days after I was born they just called me son or kid. So then my mom and day made a list of a of name they thought they should name me but they couldn't decided on one. Although at the bottom of both list was the the name Layton. So they decided to name me Layton. That's how I got my name from my parents.

Thursday, April 7, 2011

Because Kit goes there to talk. Kit also goes there because she feels at home. She feels like shes is normal and so different when she goes there.

Goals For The Rest Of The Year

My gaols for the rest of the year are to get my reading level up. One way I could get my reading level up by reading. It is also my goal to move on from this class and start testing for my GED. And maybe pass all the GED tests.

I wonder who invented the toilet plunger

The person who invented the plunger must have been a big man. He probably invented it because he kept plugging the toilet up or something. He must have been pretty frustrated with plugging the toilet so much he thought of a way to fix it without doing anything serious. But this is all theoretical.

Dear Paul,

     Its very weird here in America. There are not that many things to do. It seems like the only things to do are work, go to church, eat, and sleep. No one wears anything nice and they also have no slaves.

                                                                                                    Sincerely,
                                                                                                                   Kit

I can remember being disappointed one time in my life. It was when my mom got married a second time. You might think I was disappointed because she married someone I didn't like, well you're wrong. Its because I didn't want her to get married because back then I still wanted my dad and my mom to get back together.

What I Did Over Spring Break

The first thing I did was hang out with my friend Nick. I spent the night at his house and we watched a lot of movies. The next day me and him went to our friend Alex for his birthday party. So me Nick, Alex ,and a couple of his friends all went bowling. And so that's what I did over spring break.

Friday, March 18, 2011

spring break

I don't know what I'm going to do for spring break. I guess I'll just go with what happens during spring break. I'm going to keep my reading level up by reading every night if I can.

Thursday, March 17, 2011

I think Kit should think more carefully about her choices and about the way she acts to. I don't think that Kit should of given those dresses to her cousins in the house because she got in trouble.

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

new country

I would be nervious about moving because I would be going to a new place. I would also feel scared about a new house and new people. It would be very weird to me and I would feel out of place.

Monday, March 14, 2011

The Witch Of Blackbird Pond is a book about a girl named Kit who moves from Barbados to America in 1687. Her grandfather has died and she is going to live with her aunt. The town she moves to is full of Puritans who are much more religious than she is. She is constantly doing things that make her look strange to the people in America because her culture in Barbados is so different.

Thursday, March 10, 2011

Tomorrow I am going to sleep in. Then I'm going to eat breakfast. Then I will take care of my nephew Kaden. After I put him to bed then I will play games on my xbox. Then I will probably take a nap.

What Kind Of A Person Is Kit

She is not a girly girl shes more like a tom boy because she doesn't act like a girl. She is not scared easily and shes ignorant because she acts like shes never been embarrassed and she gets exited easily.

Friday, March 4, 2011

There I was sitting at home on my couch watching T.V. when a commercial came on. They were talking about this vacation spot. They didn't say where it was all they said was how great it was. Son then I called my best friend Nick Rye and told him about the commercial. He said " that cool, so did you call to invite me or something"? Then I said "yeah do you want to go"? "yeah" he said. So then we packed then we met up in south Salmo commercial said meet the people that were going to pick us up. We waited for an hour and a half and they still weren't there. Then all of a sudden there was a loud noise kind of like a giant weed whacker. And the wind started to pick up in all directions. A me and him look up and saw helicopter trying to land in front of us. After the helicopter landed a man in a suit came out and asked us if we were here for the trip, we simultaneously said yes. then the man directed us to the pavelow. After we got inside we sat down and looked around to my surprise there was a old women a goat and a wire mesh box with two chickens inside. Then we waited for two hours until Nick decides to look out the window and then he said "ere are we going"? "why do you ask" I said. Then he told me to look out my window so I did. In Shock I saw that we were flying over sand like a crazy amount of sand like we were in a desert in Egypt. Then the man in the suit came out and gave us a bershor to where we were going. Then we started to land at last we were there.

Thursday, March 3, 2011

My thoughts about the the time period are people back then were very religious. And they over reacted about the witch and they should of stopped listening to those girls a long time ago. It is because of them all those people who didn't have to die, die! The time period was so bad all who were accused had no one to back them up on their side of the story.

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

What I understood about the story was that there was these two cousins and a few other girls. But back then children weren't allowed to play with toy or play games because it showed a sign of idle. The cousins live in a house together and that they have a slave that cleans the house for them. The lady who cleaned there house entertained the cousins and the other girls with magic and stories of her home back in Barbados. Then the girls started to have strange behavior such as twitching and screaming, the Doctor said it was caused by witch craft . Then one day in church as the pastor was reading a bible verses then all of a sudden the girls fell to the floor and started to freak out. Then the towns' people begged they to tell who cursed they they.

My Dream Place To Travel

If I would go anywhere it would have to be Cancun, Mexico. I would go there because the water and the hotels' look awesome. I bet the food would be amazing too. I don't know why I would go there I just know I would.

Thursday, February 17, 2011

   I read a good book recently called "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian", by Sherman Alexie. This book is about a boy named JR and his life until he is a senior in high school. The book is also about his friends that he makes and loses during high school. Its also about his life on and off the reservation he lives on. JR. goes through some difficult times along the way too.

What happens in the first part of the story is JR. get picked on a lot by people on the reservation like this one time these guys were picking on JR. because his head was to big. The reason his head is big is because when he was born he had too much of the fluid that surrounds his brain. And the Dr. they saw after he was born said he could have problems when he grows up. But the good thing is that every time someone would pick on JR. his best friend Rowdy would beat them up.

Later in the story JR. decides to go to school at Rearden which is off the reservation. Rowdy then chooses to not be JR.'s friend anymore. Although JR. make new friends at the new school he goes to. His new friend Gordy hung out with JR.for a couple chapters of the book. When JR. goes to his new school he gets bullied and harassed. But then JR. punches the bully and he stops picking on him then every one at the new school liked he after that.

I think that this is a really good book for lots of reasons. One of them being that this book is funny and a good plot to it. The second reason is because the book was is a story of his life and what he went through. And the third reason is because its inspiring to people who have been picked on or had a difficult time in school.

Monday, February 14, 2011

Today after school I plan on just relaxing. Like for instance, I would maybe watch T.V. and drink a glass of water for a little bit. Then I would make my self something to eat maybe mac and cheeze. Then I will hang out with my friends for a hour or so. After that I just maybe will watch a movie or two then eat and go to bed.

Pink Flamingo 7

So I was caught, there was nothing else to do but give myself up. "I was already trapped mite as well give myself up". As they were taking me back to the school I remembered that I still have that flamingo. I also didn't tell they were I put the flamingo either so I think they'll just let me go, boy was I wrong.

Thursday, February 10, 2011

I'm reading about a book that is interesting. its about a boy named Zack and his family. That have to move and relocate. All of his family except his dad because hes in jail. Because he was behind in money so he joined and worked for a drug lord until he could pay the money he owed. But then he got caught and put in jail. So while their dads in jail they have to relocate to Neveda.

Am I A Competitive Person

I am competitive person all the time according to my mother and everyone I know. But I don't really show it because I try to hide it. Most can't tell when I'm trying to hide it but, some people can tell even when I'm trying to hide it. I know a lot of people who are competitive too but we get along fine.

Pink Flamingo 6

As I walked in the mall I got scared I knew they were after me I said to my self as a bead of sweet rain down the side of my head. I needed to find a phone. Then I say someone to ask, it was a small family I rain up to them and ask if I could use their cell phone but they just stared at me as they walked off. Then I ran and hid in a pretzel stand were I also asked if I could use their phone that guy stared at me to and said no too. After that I saw an old lady and I asked for her phone and you want to know what she hit me with here purse. Then I saw those Russians that are after me so I turned and ran into a store but they folowed me and backed me up into a corner. And you want to know what I didn't lie to myself I was caught.

Thursday, February 3, 2011

Jr. and Rowdy

If I had to give advice to Jr. and Rowdy it would be to be friends. Because everyone has a friend they got in a fight with once or twice. It doesn't matter who or what started it. What matters is how you deal with it, individually or as a team. Even if you think you'll never be friend again you never know it just takes time.

Has It Changed Jr.

I think since Jr. changed schools he has changed a little bit. Maybe even more than one way. Like for instance I think his self-esteem has changed. Maybe he also thinks better of himself. He seems like he really likes the school in town better than the rez's school.

Friday, January 28, 2011

The Pink Flamingo 5

So I was going to use someone elses phone. I made it to the mall the good news for me is that there are a lot of places to hide. But first I should find a phone, I have no money so a pay phone was out of the option.  I could steel some money from a tip jar somewhere but thats wrong I wont do that. Maybe I should ask an old lady if I could use her phone for a min. but she probably hit me over the head with her purse  or something.

Thursday, January 27, 2011

If I have a friend who is sad or something I would try to help them. If he/she was sad about life I would cheer him/her up by talking about it with him/her. If they were sad about someone that died in their family I would tell them how I got over people who died in my family.

Fourth, I will read a little of a book before I go to bed early, which would be the the fifth thing I do to get ready for the test. Sixth, I will have a good breakfast before I go to school.

In Ten Years

If I imagine myself in ten years I would hope to have a number of things. I would hope to have a good paying job. I hope to have a nice house in California and maybe a dog.

The Pink Flamingo 4

As I was running I wondered to myself why they were after the flamingo. It looks like something you would win at a fair or something like that. I was almost there when I thought maybe I should call the police but then I remember that I forgot my phone today. I would have to use someone's phone.

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

JR. endured a lot at the res and at the white school. He was picked on a lot. He got beat up on a daily basis. He got hurt every day. He had it pretty rough for a while.The definition of endure is "to sustain without impairment or yielding or put up with".

Pink Flamingo Part 3

As I waited for a chance to grab the Flamingo I had to think of a escape plan. So I thought to myself what if I just walk out the front door and I thought about that for 10 mins. so I said to myself thats the best idea I can think of. So I saw an opportunity to grab the Flamingo and I did. I quickly grabbed the flamingo and ran out the front door. Then I started running as fast as I can toward the mall.

Rowdy

    The character I am choosing is Rowdy. Rowdy is a very angry boy. He is very tents all the time. I think he's angry all the time because he doesn't feel loved or he grow up around a mean dad and mean mom. So he thinks its ok to be mean all the time. Rowdy is a good kid to JR. at least, well until Rowdy dropped him like a sack of potatoes.I don't know what Rowdy is going to do now. We will just have to wait and see.

Pink Flamingo Part ll

So as I heard the two guards say that something about a pink flamingo. After that I look through the window for a pink flamingo until I found one in the center of the room guarded by ten guards.So then the guards by the door walk away for some reason so I opened the door the and crawled to the center of the room very quietly. Then I sat under a table so I could think of a way to grab the pink flamingo.

The Pink Flamingeo

Here i was sitting in a chair at a computer trying to think of something to type for class. When a huge explosion happened by the safe in the back. So I ran and hid in the bathroom. After an hour or so I walk out of the bathroom to go see what has happened. As I quietly walked down the really long hall then I stop and look through the glass of the window then I gasped at what i saw. There was maybe 20 to 30 men in military outfits walking around and guarding every exit and every entrance to the building. Then I sat down to think about what I was going to do.then the two guards at the door I was sitting by started to talk to each other I could barley hear they were say but I managed to understand a sentence or two about their conversation. But they were speaking in Russian but then i heard something something they said the only word I had taught my self in Russian was Pink Flamingo.

I cant think of any time I was bullied but I am going to say what I think about it. I think bullying is not ok at all for lots of reasons. One of them is that kids who are getting bullied some of them commit suicide because they can`t take it any more. There are different types of bullying too like cyber bullying like on myspace or twitter and other websites like that.

Indian reservation

Indian reservations are only in north America. Indian reservation happened because of  the settlers. When they came to America the settlers forced the Indians into camps called reservations. The settlers did this because they thought the needed the land.

Winter break

During break i was very busy at both of my houses getting ready for Christmas. We got a tree and we decorated it and the house we also went shopping a lot. On the day of Christmas I opened all of my gifts then I went to my dads to open gifts again. After that I went to my vacation house in Black Butte for new Years Eve which was really boring.
