The Tell-Tale Heart project

The man before me was a shell of his former elagant self, he was boney with short black hair. As always the client was in a straight jacket and pants loose around the legs, covered in buckles to sacure him to certain positions and places and had wild hair and often giggled, the one thing that peaked my curiosity was his sense of acomplishment yet fear. "... so you see I'm not mad for a madman would not have been so careful when hiding the body."

I had already deduced that he was indeed insane, due to his imense parinoia and claims of hearing the man's heart beat even after death , but to convince him that I was considering his sanity, which in itself a attempt to calm him, I asked to here the story one more time. what intrigued me most was his consistancy, it was as if he was reading it from a script for not a word chaged in the four times now five that he had told me his tale. "Can you discribe this eye that caused you to fulfill this lust for blood?"

 The inquire startled him for he answerd "No! I can not! The mear thought of it vexes me so. The vulture eye, ever present, ever watchful! It calms me, the knowledge that the eye will never open again." 

That eye must have somthing diffrent it drove the man before me mad! But in fear of triggering an out burst I did not question him further. As the orderlys walked in, for their session was over, a bead of sweat rolled down the man's cheek and he jumped up and screamed "NO! NOT AGAIN! There it is again! The constant thumping! I can't take it! NO!"

The two men pounced on him as soon as he begain to wail. They dragged him out of the room by his collar as he whimperd. "Make it stop. Please. Please make it stop." and with that the doors shut and I was once again alone with my thoughts and a stack of unfinshed paper work.

Huger Games Research Project

Roman Gladiators were very simlar to the Hunger Games. They both fought to the death in an arena.

As I found out there was more than thirty differnt types of gladiators and some of the tributes remind me of them.
One of which is called a Hoplomachi (UNRV) (hoplon means shield in greek)"Gladiator" Reminds me of Thresh because they are both big and like a human tank.
Another is called a Venatore (hunter)(UNRV) and they remind me of  Katniss because the both hunt animals with bows.
A Thrace were named after where they came from and they commonly didn't wear armor(UNRV). If they did then it would only be thigh-length  which would leave them open to cut or gashes on their shins and hind-leg.
 Cato would be a Mirmillione(sea-fish)(UNRV) because they wore a lot of armor and in the games Cato's camp was near water.

Hunger Games Update ch 21-22

Katniss drugged peeta to head off to the feast and she got stabbed and cut by Clove but Thresh busted out and killed Clove with a really big rock and let Katniss go. Katniss healed peeta with the meds and they kissed and talked and all that mushy stuff.
 so I think that when the weather calms down they will head out to find Cato and Thresh but Cato will kill him first. I wonder what Gale is thinking about all this back in the "seam"?

Hunger Games Update Ch 19-20

Katniss starts looking for peeta and when she finds him he is badly wounded and is dieing. Katniss ends up druging him so she can go to the feast and get the help he needs.
I predict that she will end up killing either Thresh or Foxface at  the cornucopia or she will get there first and steal the packs ment for them. I don't think she will kill Cato there at least because I think Peeta will kill him.

Hunger Games Update

Rue just died and  katniss is  ticked off and looking for vengance for her death but before CHP 18 is finshed they announce that if the final two servivers are from the same district then they will both be declaired the winner!

Currently katniss is druged by the tracker jacker venom. I think that she will probably join up with rue and work as a team.

Quick Write 3

were still reading the Hunger Games  in class, were at chp. 12 and right now there could be a number of things that could happen but i think Peeta is pretending to be with the other tributes so he can take them out from the inside and have some security. But I'm still stick'n with my first prediction.( Peeta and Katniss will both survive and win the Huger Games)

Movie Review 1

Real Steel staring Hugh Jackman
This movie is about a father (Hugh Jackman) in deep massive dept with the wrong kind people, gets stuck with his son for the summer while trying to get money by boxing robots.
This film is movie about fighting robots but its not animated and you can barely tell that its CG. Its so realistic looking that I thought that within 5 years they could make some. It was alright but I wouldn't  see it twice, all in all I rate it an 6 out of 10.

Lately in class we have been talking about beauty.Inner beauty, outer beauty, and how the media effects our views on beauty. Here our some of my thoughts on beauty: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the media tells us that we have to put on a mask of makeup and emotions to look beautful. Be your self and if sombody doesn't love you because of it then they didn't love you, they loved the mask.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not telling wemen not to wear  makeup but I am saying to not be afraid to be yourself.

weekly reviews

I've decided that every week I will post a review on either a book or a movie and then rate it from 1 to 10. 10 of course being the highest rating and 1 being the lowest. I will include things like Quotes, critic's Quotes, and my personal thoughts on the material. I will also accept recamendations(I think thats how you spell it).

Legacy

I've been thinking alot about legacy recently and what legacy I will leave behind. I've decided to make a notebook in which I will write all my most meaningful thoughts and notes or tips about the speed bumps in life. when I decide that my son is mature enough I will pass it down to him. but first I need to grow up, get a job, get a wife, and then  get a son.  Here will be my first entry:

It is less painful to learn from sombody elses mistakes than your own.



please, if you have any tips feel free to post a comment stating them here on my blog.

Quick Write

So were reading a book in class called the Hunger Games, here is a summary that I wrote:
 The Hunger Games is about an evil government that starves their citizens
and then takes 24 of their youth (12 boys and 12 girls) and makes them fight to the death. for food and glory.
The winner's entire district will be showered with prizes and food.

Keep in mind that wasn't the plot just an event that takes place annualy in the book. So far I don't enjoy this book solely based on the fact the I predicted the plot to the T, but im not going to post that for the sake of anybody reading the book and hasen't already found out what will happen in the next 5 chapters. I only hope that there is a massive plot twist in the book, oh ya I almost forgot to tell you I've only read 3 chapters but i made the prediction before I started the book.

Please reply with comments and Questions
