Human Nature
Human nature is doing what you think it right. This means that you should always help people, do your best at everything, and always try to be honest. For example, if someone got hurt you should help them. You should do everything you can to make sure they were ok. Also, it is not right to cheat, so even if you are going to fail a test you shouldn't cheat.
You should try to live by the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is to treat people like you want to be treated. This should be a big part in your life. When you are about to say something mean, you should think to yourself if you were in that position how would it make you feel. If everyone lived by this rule, life would be a lot more peaceful. It is really hard to live by this rule because when people are mean your natural reaction is to do something back. You shouldn't do that and try to do the right thing.

Lord Of The Flies Review
So far in reading Lord Of The Flies, the readers have met many characters. The main characters are Ralph, Jack, Piggy, and Simon. Ralph is the leader on the island. Piggy is a fat boy that can barely see. He also has asthma, which makes it difficult to help. Jack and Simon are part of a choir. Jack is friends with Ralph now, but I predict that they will get in many fights. Finally Simon is important because he seizes.
I do not get how the kids are not freaking out. They are all so calm. They are just having fun and are always laughing. They are also not going back to the plane. They think they are going to get saved no matter what. Because of that, they aren't doing anything to help people find them. They did start a fire, but it was at night and had no smoke. If they have any chance of surviving, they need to use their brains and work together to make a civilization.

Fall
Now that fall is here the weather is getting cooler. It feels so good outside! I can finally go outside and enjoy the weather without overheating. The breezes outside remind me of the beach when its not to hot and is perfect weather. The skies are bluer and the trees are full of colors.
With fall comes football. I like going to the LSU games because all of my friends go and we get to cheer on the Tigers. We tailgate and talk with friends. Our school football is back too. We are finally at home games too! It is so exciting to cheer on our own field at our own school! Finally, Saints football has started too. I watch it with my family outside by the pool. We barbecue sausage and burgers and I jump on the trampoline. I may not watch the game, but game day is my favorite day!

Reading Response
In City Of Bones, Clary is still having a hard time adjusting to being a shadow hunter. She has a mind block in her mind that is holding information that she had a long time ago. Hodge thinks that if they find those memories, they could find the mortal cup before Valentine. Valentine wants to use the cup to kill shadow hunters. To find the memories they contact the Silent Brothers. They can read anyone's memories. They couldn't get hers, but did find a name. The name was Magnus.
They tracked down Magnus and went to the party he was throwing. There they met him and he said that he was the one that put the block there. Clary was shocked when she found out that her own mother was the one who told him to put it there. He said he couldn't undo it and that it will go away by time. Meanwhile, Simon got turned into a rat and is lost.

Should We Abandon Louisiana? In Some Ways, We Already Have Review
This article is about how Louisiana's tragedies don't get enough attention. It says how other parts of the country don't pay attention to flooding here because they expect us to flood. Yes we are on the coast, but that doesn't mean that we are okay with flooding. We aren't just used to flooding. It also said that when Katrina and the flood happened the rest of the country didn't want to rebuild. They just wanted to bulldoze. They thought that because the city was corrupt.
I agree with this article. All other natural disasters are on the news all the time, but the flood wasn't. So many people lost their houses and everything they had. When the article said that people that were in flood zones during Hurricane Sandy and got flooded they got a lot of attention, it brought up a very good point. People expect us to flood, but houses that weren't in the flood zone were flooded too. One thing I did disagree with was how they said Katrina didn't get attention. Yes the other parts of the country may have wanted to bulldoze, which is terrible, but it did make it to the new. We did get help and I think people did realize how bad the damage was. I do think we could have gotten more help though.

Fish Out Of Water
This summer I was in Destin with my family and cousins. We have an offshore fishing boat named Geaux Deep. We got ready to go and spend the night on the boat. It was my mom, dad, brothers, two cousins, aunt, and uncle. We left the marina and went to crab island first. We stopped there and swam for a while. It was fun because we jumped off the top of the boat which was was 35 feet tall.
When we left there we took off and we going for 4 hours. We stopped to fish and didn't catch much. We started going again. I glanced over and a huge sea turtle caught my eye. It had the prettiest green on its shell. We got to where we were going to fish and spend the night. It was by a massive drill ship. We didn't have much luck for a while. We put out some poles and we went inside. Our captain was outside watching the poles and saw on bend in half. He ran inside at midnight and told us that there was a large fish on. I hopped off the couch and sat in the fighting chair. I was struggling to reel for 2 hours with the fish pulling me out the chair. We finally got it in the boat at 2 and I was satisfied!
We get back the next day to the marina. When we got there I took pictures with my tuna.It was as tall and more than twice my weight. I struggled to make it stand. While I was taking pictures I noticed that people were surrounding me astonished with my fish. They followed us when we weighed it and cleaned it. I was 170 pounds! We cleaned it and I ate a piece when he just cut it open. It was the best trip they had all fishing season and the best fishing trip of my life!

City Of Bones Update week 5
Recently in my book the setting has been switching. The overall setting is in New York. They have been switching from under ground worlds. The author, Cassandra Clare, does a good job letting the reader know where the setting is and exactly what it looks like. She shows you what they look like, what they are looking at, and every thing else.
She sets the mood too. She does this by showing emotion, like saying how they are sweating or a cold shiver going down her spine. She put two characters that are opposite. Jace is more serious, but still has a little humor. Clary is more openminded, but gets overwhelmed. Through all of this she makes it clear that the mood of City Of Bones is scary and intense.
