My Own Personal Eassy

Which One is better Little Brothers or Little Sisters?

I think little sisters are better, I think they are more preswasive and they are fun. Little brothers are not interested in you and when they are they normally look for a fight.


My Little sister is Kelsey is more interesting and fun and my brother is just concealed in his PSP and Music. But Kelsey she wants to do things with me most times sure sometimes she doesn't want anything to do with me but so does every one siblings.

One time my sister wanted to go to the pool so i said yes (cause im the best sister). Then i asked my brother if he wanted to come he wasn't in the best mood so he cracked it a screamed at me while throeing shoes at me. Cause he was playing on his PSP.

My Sister was playing with my brother and i was on the computer. She was sad at me because i couldn't play because i had homework and my brother got angry at her for no good reason and she came sucking up to me doing things for me.

Its good having a little sister to look after and care for and having her be there when i want her.

So i think having a little sister is better than than having a little brother. What do you think.

Catching Fire

Catching Fire By Suzanne Collin.



****** = I give it 6 stars because ....



I LOVED the hunger games it was AMAZING and Catching Fire was more than AMAZING it was so so so good i cant explain it!



Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer and she puts so much heart and thought into her books. Some of the comments she got for the hunger games ( Cathcing Fire is a new relse ) were ...

The Hunger Games is violent, jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense ....... I could not stop reading it!

- Stephen King Entertainment weekly

I was so obsessed with this book i had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so i wouldn't have to stop reading! The story kept me awake for several nights in a row, because even after i was finished, i just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it. The Hunger Games is AMAZING!

- Stephenie Meyer Twilight Saga Author

Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced ..... Engrossing

- John Green New York Times Book reviews

A plot - driven blend of suspense, science fiction and romance.

- USA Today

They are just same of the comments of the Hunger Games but cathcing fire is better if not just as amazing. When I read it it takes me into Katniss ( Main Character ) world. Her descriptions reminds me some how of me. I absolutely love the characters in both books and my favorites are Prim - Both Books Gale - Both Books Katniss - Both Books ( My Favortie Favorite ) Rue - Only in the Hunger Games Katniss's Mum -Both Books and Peter - Both Books ( Author main character ).

I want to read the Cathching Fire again and again but .... I have a whole line of books lined up to read but I'm sure i will read it more than once.

Its AMAZING!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!! ITS UNSTOPPABLE TO READ!!!!!

My 5 Words for my vocab are ....

Our Home Work was to find a picture describing the word.

1. Placid

2. Devotion

5. Feigning

Breaking Dawn

Breaking Dawn was written by Stephine Myer. I give the book a definite 5 stars.

*****

My Favorite parts in the book were the fabulous ending to the sequel, the middle when they were getting ready for the Volturi to attack and when Reenesme was born. The twilight saga was fantastic and the order of my favorite books best to worse is Breaking Dawn, Eclipse, New Moon and then Twilight.

As i have said in all my post on Twilight or Stephine Myer she is an amazing writer and there is no doubt i will read the saga again and again. I absolutely love her books and was so sad to finish breaking dawn cause the series is over.

It took me 2 months to read breaking dawn but i kept stopping and staring again and again so it took longer than i would have liked.


The Twilight saga is the second best saga i have read behind The hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins.

Poem

My Poem i created about Jakatra.....

Trip to Bintaro Lama

Bintaro Lama was very interesting, educational and Fun. We all learned a lot of things about how to clean water and how important water is. In the village it was very dirty and so was there water. There were 6 stations and in those stations we learned how to clean water. We went to only 3 of the 6 but still learned a lot.

My first station was Ceramic filter a PuR. The Ceramic filter was a big water tank with a ceramic pot in the plastic tank. The people poured dirty water into the filter and then waited 6 hours for the water to filter thorough the ceramic pot.

PuR came in little sachets. You had dirty water in a plastic jug and wrapped a clean towel around the top of the jug. The you had another jug that you poured the cleaner water into. Use the clean towel would get rid of small things like dirt and bugs. After you drain the water from the first jug you open the PuR and stir it into the water. Use another clean towel and pour the water into a glass and it ready to drink.

Second Station was Aqua tabs and Air Rahmat.

Auqua Tabs were placed into a jug filled with 5 liters of water and stirred in for 5 minutes. Aqua Tabs are little tablets that clean water and cost 1000 Rp. a tablet. Air Rahmat is a small bottle of liquid. To use Air Rahmat you have a jug of water filled to 10 liters and then you pour 5 drops of Air Rahmat and then shake 30 times in a row.

Put a clean towel over the lid and pour into a glass and its ready to drink.

Third Station was teaching kids to wash there hands and how important it is.

They told us tat they created a song about washing their hands before serving food, After using the bathroom, before eating food and after touching animals.

At the end of all the stations the kids sang the song they created.

We all had fun and learned a whole lot about cleaning water. It was hot, sticky, smell, dirty but it was definitely FUN!

Vocab Words!!!

These are the words from the vocabulary we learnt in class. These are the words that we learnt in class - Fetid, Corrugated, Nefarious, Intolerable, Frothing, Vial, Desolate, Gagging, Frivolous and Conceited.



1. I walked into the fetid class room trying to hold my breath.



2. I saw the corrugated waves splashing against the rocks.

3. Our class wrote a list of what is intolerable in school.

4. My Mouth was frothing with tooth paste.

5. My science partner broke the vial and had to clean it up.

6. There was a desolate place were the mall could have been built.

7. I was gagging in the dentist.

8. The hair clip was frivolous and but still looked good.

9. At the theta there was a conceited person who was not so good.

These words were some words in books that we didn't know. The words became our vocab for 2 weeks and we have been trying to use these as much as we can.

When To use I and When to use Me

When to use I and when to use ME.

These are 6 sentence's to show when to use ME and when to use I.

1. Kelsey, Holly and I went to the movies to watch Final Destination 4.

2. The chocolate cookies were eaten by my brother and ME.

3. Abbie, Rio, Lulu and I went to Starbucks.

4. The movie was borrowed by my brother and ME.

5. Helen,Rachel, Lauren and I went down stairs to join the party.

6. The phone was running out of pulsa because of Nelly and ME.

When using I and ME just take away the person or people in the sentence.

Example: Isla, Nat and ME went to the mall.

That would be wrong because if i took away Isla and Nat it would be ''Me went to the mall."

Its easy once the rule is in your head and its very hard to forget.

Eclipse

Eclipse by Stephenie Myer

* * * * *

27 Chapters

620 pages ( Not including epilogue )

Eclipse is a the 3rd book to the saga Twilight. I have given Eclipse 5 stars because of its grammar, characterization, mystery, humour and the way it keeps you just reading and reading and reading. Eclipse is about Bella deciding between a werewolf or a vampire. Bella needs to decide between 2 mortal enemies, An army is arising enemies will unite. My favorite part is when Bella and Edward are all alone at Edwards house in Edwards room and Edward proposes for the 3rd time and Bella says YES! The reason i like this part is because it shows both of there emotions and compassion for each other and it also a very quiet and in some way unique moment.

Edward and Bella become one. Bella will make decisions good and bad witch affect her and her loved ones. Eclipse so far is my favorite book out of the ones i have read. Breaking Dawn is also 5 stars and I'm only up to the 2Nd book in the 4Th book and it is so good i can hardly put it down.

My opinion is read the twilight saga it is an amazing series and i highly recommend it.

Chracterization

Eclipse the written novel by Stephine Myer.

Stephine Myer has created Eclipse as the 3rd book out of the Twilight series. My two characters i will be talking about is Isabella Swan.

In eclipse Bella is confused about two special people in her life 1 Edward the love of her life and Jacob the younger best friend. Her decision is between a vampire ( Edward ) or a werewolf ( Jacob ). Bella's interests in eclipse is to become a vampire that's all she want to do except spend time with Edward. Bella is not a fan of parties or been around people besides Edward.

Over a period of chapters Bella ends up on a mountain with Edward protecting her from the deadly killer Victoria. Victoria has been after Bella since the 2Nd book after James was killed by Edward in the first book. James was Victoria's mate and she plans revenge against Edward a mate for a mate. There was a truce made between mortal enemies werewolves and vampires just to keep Bella safe but Victoria was sneaky and crept around there trap.

Bella is afraid but only for her protectors and family she doesn't care what happens to her as long as the Cullen's and the Werewolves are safe. She is scared that they will hurt or kill her Mum Renee and Dad Charlie to get to her. Bella really shows her true feelings for Jacob Black on page 527 she finds out in side she really loves him. Eclipse is about Bella and Edward it is clashed with Jacob. Edward is protective of Bella and so is Jacob and as mortal enemies its not a good. Most always turns into a fight or argument. In eclipse Bella decides she wants to have one human experience before she turns into a vampire which is to make love with Edward. In the middle of the book Edward proposes to Bella it takes him 3 times before she says yes.

Bella in all books always has nightmares but the most in the 2nd book. Edward is a good protector of Bella and all he wants is her and them forever!

Great book and u need to read it!!Its AMAZING

Earthquake in Jakarta

On Wednesday the 2nd of September 2009 there was an Earthquake in Jakarta Indonesia.

The earthquake was rated 7.4 on the rickets scale.

A few hours before hand there was a weired thing that happened a snake at lunch time so noon came out in front of 367 students and was just strolling more like slithering along the ground and then got into a hole in the tree and as Veterinarians and zoologist's have proven that animals can sense earthquakes, tsunami's and bad storms witch is were the snake at lunch connects.



OK this School is huge and snakes are scared of humans so why would a meter long snake cross the lunch area with about 150 students in the lunch area and 300 around it well i think it leads to the earthquake.

The environment is always connected to thees natural disasters and all in a different way.

But what kills in earthquakes are man made. Like buildings they can collapse on and with people in it, Air cons they could fall on peoples heads and the list goes on.



Experiencing my first earthquake it was a bit frightening and weired at the same time. I would never had expected that I would be feeling a real life earthquake. When I was little I was a country girl and I never thought I would move to the city and I did I moved to Canberra from a tiny tiny town and then i moved to Indonesia which was not even in my mind i never thought of even moving overseas but I did and now i have experienced Bombings, My brother going through dengue fever, Earthquakes and the stress of moving away from my Family.

So we connect to the earth and environment we all live together and we all compact others lives.

My Favorite Author

Suzanne Collins

A five star writer!


Suzanne Collins is a writer from the books Hunger Games and the 2nd book Catching Fire, Gregor the Overlander, Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods and so on.

My favorite book by Suzanne Collins is the Hunger Games and I cant wait till the next book comes out in September.
I don't have a lot of info on her because in her biography it says nothing about her life like her age how long she has been writing for and basic information like that.

I really encourage you to read the Hunger Games it is an amazing book filled with killing, love, action and it will keep your eyes glued to each and every page.

My FAVORITE Author Ever!

Stephine Myer





Stephine Myer was born 24th of December 1973. She grew up in Phoenix Arizona with 5 younger siblings Seth, Emily, Jacoob, Pual and Heidi.





Stephine Meyer met her husband Christian, when she was growing up in Arizona, and married him in 1994 when they both were 21. Together they have three sons: Gabe, Seth, and Eli.





Stephine had not written even a short story before she wrote twilight.


She says the ider of Twilight came to her in a dream on June the 2nd 2003.


The dream was about a human girl and a vampire who loved each other very much but the vampire thirsted for her blood. After 3 mounths she made her dream into a compleet novel.


Personally I only am just half way through the 3rd book now and i think that Stephine myer is wonderful.


She describes her books so well and it feels like you are watching it in your head. She makes you feel what Bella is feeling it makes you think what Bella is thinking and for her first book ever she did a fantastic job.



Out of five stars i give the Twilight saga five stars!

She is an exalent writer and i hope she makes more storys and has a good time making them.

Tiwan Storm

The Taiwan storm was a chance for us to learn in class about various things like what humans and the environment work. And how the environment affects our land when humans cant do anything. I'm going to tell you that the environment is much stronger than you think and is so much more capable than just keeping us alive.

This Photo here is what destruction the typhoon caused in Taiwan. You might ask what is the difference in a hurricane and typhoon well that's one of the thing i will answer. A hurricane is a big swirl of warm and cold wind off the ocean which Australia's coast gets and and typhoons are a combination of lots and lots of rain and wind. Japan often gets them.

The typhoon made us think about mud slides, floods, hurricanes and many more things but they all relate to one thing the ENVIRONMENT! The environment has many natural disaster's like droughts, floods, bush fires, hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamies and now we know that the enviroment is cabable of deaths, injuries and broken hearts.

People who lived in Taiwan at the bottom of the mountain had no idea how a mud slide could start. The earth is suck to the mountain but when there is 2 meters of rain the water lifts the earth of the mountain and down to those farms and villages.

The Taiwan tragedy may be sad but it is a learning experience for a lot of us.
