Poem

My dog is big.
My dog is black.
My dog has spots on his back.
He likes to eat.
He likes to sleep.
But most of all he likes to ride in the jeep.
We watch tv and play fetch.
He gets the ball and wants me to catch.
Woof woof.

There was a trial going on. A man had stolen all of the woman's money. She told the police that she was positive it was this man. The police started to interrogate. First they searched the man's house for any envelopes with money. Then they questioned him. The policed queried the man until he cracked.

The man confessed that he was at her house to steal the money, but once he got there it was all gone. The cops didn't believe him. Once the case went to trial, they cross examined him. He didn't change his story. Then while questioning the woman's family, they found out that the woman had a maid. The maid was called to be questioned and she confessed right away.

Research Process

One of the hardest parts of the research paper is organizing. In my opinion, it is hard to group ideas that go together. Making the notecards were helpful this process. Grouping the notecards were a lot harder than making them. For example, I didn't know if I should do many groups or a smaller amount of groups with more notecards in them. Once I did that, the body paragraphs were easy.

Another hard part was the citations. I didn't know at first if we should cite the sentences in the introduction and conclusion. I am still a little confused about that. Also, the citations are very repetitive and I don't know how to fix that. After I did a couple of them and Dr. D went over it in class, I understood better.

Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Part 2

So far, from last week to this week, I am on page 102. Junior just started the all white school. He felt out of place and didn't have any friends. On the first day, he saw this girl named Penelope and instantly likes her. There was also another person he meets named Roger. Roger is the head of the group. He starts making fun of Junior, so Junior does what they do at the rez. He punches him and Roger doesn't punch back. Junior is confused why and realizes that the fighting "rules" were different. 

After Junior punches Roger, he earns his respect. He goes back to school and Roger is nice to him. Then Penelope starts to talk to him more. They decide to raise money for the poor together. He also meets this boy named Gordy. Gordy is weird and super smart. Gordy and Roger become friends.
