The next two weeks of school we be somewhat of torture. I have so many tests. In science I have a Chemistry Test. Then there's social studies, with the Civil War Test. After that I have two District Assessments in Math and French. AHHHHHHH! To many tests. At least non of the test are on the same day. I shall keep you updated on the test once I finished all of them. So look into the next blog post to probabely find out how I did.

The Giver

Again, I know it may be a little late but I thought my blog readers want to see my Giver Response.

It is true that The Giver is a very hard novel to turn into a theatrical performance. There were many scene that truly are very hard. One scene in particular would be the apple scene. In the play they are pretending to throwing a fake apple across the stage. Then when Jonas was just about to catch the apple he sees something and the fake, imaginative apple falls down and turn into imaginative apple sauce. That was really cheesy. Personally it would have been much better if they used a projector. The projector would help enhance the moment because it could actually project the apple turning into the apple sauce or a matter of fact the color red. He other thing that made the play confusing was the changing of character. The one person that really confused me was the red headed girl who was Lily and Fiona. You almost never knew if she was Lily or Fiona. All they needed to do was get another person to act as Fiona and it would have been fine. In conclusion, if they used more item or props during play or even used more people the play would have been stupendous.

Jurassic Park

I know it is been a long time since I did the Jurassic Park responses, but I thought you may want to see what I wrote about Jurassic Park. Here are the questions I answered.

1. How did the music contribute to the mood and suspense of the story?

Music may not seem important in the story but it is a key in scaring the ants out of your pants. The music really dramatizes the move so that it creates a more of a tenser scene when it is starting to get ugly. Also it helps creates more suspense. One example of this is whenever the T-Rex is coming there is a booming sound in the background foreshadowing the event of a major attack. Therefore without music and suspense in the movie the movie would be an EPIC FAIL.

2. If you believe the story is a tragedy, then explain Dennis Nedry’s tragic flaw and the tragic fall that follows because of it.

Dennis Nedry, an overweight nerd about computer has a major tragic flaw. His tragic flaw is his overconfidence. His overconfidence pretty much leads him to his tragic fall which is dying. You may be asking why over confidence is his tragic flaw just think about it. He thinks that with ease he can hack the system, take the egg supplies, and run away. News flash Dennis this is Jurassic Park, and you just off the system that keeps you safe, and you want to just drive away. If I could just say one thing, you are plain old dumb. In conclusion, the flaw that Dennis has which is overconfidence, leads him to his death against a raptor, which he let in to his path by turning off the security system.

1. During the tour of the facility, Ian Malcolm comments that “Life finds a way.” What does he mean? How does this foreshadow events that occur later?

Life finds a way, might be a simple saying but actually comes through in the movie. To me life finds a way means that the life of that egg will finds its way. This event foreshadows a few main events. One event is when the eggs hatch which happens when water helps make it grow. Therefore life has found its way. Also when they overcome Jurassic Park by going off the island, once again life finds a way. In conclusion, the comment “Life finds a way” by Ian Malcolm is an awesome comment that foreshadows many great events.

This past weeekend I had a party for my birthday that was two weeks back. The people that I invited were Jacob Stern, Bailey Zimmerly, Tyler Stanczak, and Kyle Gloss. First we played Wii for for one hour. Then we got our food, which was Buffalo Wild Wings, Pizza Hut, and a party sub from Jimmy Johns. Even though we were still suppose to play wii, we actually watched TV and stated wrestling. That was pretty strange. The other thing was that their was a tornado watch on that day. The rest of that day for me is a really big mystery.

Once upon a time there was a little kid named Butch Jr. Butch Junior was always getting bullied by his mean old brother Butch Sr. Whenever poor little Butch Junior came how he would always have bruises from his fight with Butch Sr. One day Butch Senior was really upset at Butch Junior that he had to be in a wheel chair for 10 years. After that fight, Butch Senior was so upset that he never bullied anyone again.

Today I shall be talking to you about my day at Animal Kingdom. It was my first day at Disney in Florida so it took some time for all of the events to seep in. First we had a picture session in front of the humongous tree. Then we got fastpasses for Expedition Everest. After that we went to Africa where we went on a safari of the zoo where the literally the animal are let freely throughout that part of the park. It was amazing. Then we went to Expedition Everest in which you can read my experiance in Random Post #3. Then we went on some other more milder rides. This was the only day we went home early too. When we did go home we all changed as fast as we can into our swimming gear and literally jumped into the pool. The rest of the day for me is pretty much a mystery.

If there is one thing that Disney helped me understand is that roller coasters are not for me. I went on a roller coaster called Expedition Everest. It was an amazing roller coaster but when it took me through those sudden backdrops and turns, my tummy was turning. After the roller coaster I almost vomited too. In conclusion, certain roller coasters are not fit for me.

It was a nice spring day in the city of Pewaukee. I called up my friend Tyler to ask him about his trip to Jamaica.

“Hello”, said Tyler.

I replied, “Hey it’s Sri.”

“Hey.”

“How’s Jamaica man.”

“Pretty good.”

“Yeah I leaving tomorrow for Florida.”

“Sweet.”

“Did Aidan sit near your during your flight?”

“Actually Aidan was sitting right near me.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Sorry to hang up so abruptly, but my parents are calling.”

“See you later then.”

“See yeah.”

It was a nice summer day in the town of Pewaukee. David Collins was walking down the street remembering the days when he used to go to school here. Suddenly he was crowded by many other people. So he ran away with ease getting away from the strange people. On the way to McDonalds, David froze, checking his right pocket. Where was the money? He had lost $1,000. So he thought about who could take the money and the first thing that came to mind was the strange people who came close to him. He went to check them out. When David got there he asked them if they had taken the $1,000. The older women said to him to check his left pocket, and sure enough the money was there. After that small incident he asked them who they were. Soon after they replied they were from his favorite T.V. show “Survivor” and he asked them if he would like to be a contestant. David was in awe when they said the offer. He was about to accept it, but a strange feeling came to his mind. He remembered that Mr. Roehl his Middle School Teacher had been the one who showed him the show and he tried multiple times to get on but failed. Therefore with the kind of heart he has he kindly declined the offer and asked them to take Scott Roehl instead of him. They accepted the offer and David never saw the people from “Survivor” ever again.

"Am I dead?" was the first thing that I said when I got back my conscious. Suddenly a mysterious black objects appear in the background. I put on my glasses to get a better look at the people and where the heck am I. Quickly everything became clear. The mysterious dark figure that approach were my mom, my dad, my friend Aidan, ... Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Sri Kodali, and Tyler Stanczak! My brain after seeing the players got a blast from the past.

It was a nice summer day in New York, NY. I looked out the window an see a crowd near one entrance so I get dressed to see what is going on. All of a sudden I huge poster flies into my face and I realizes why practically everyone is here. It was a doubles match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal vs. Sri Kodali and Tyler Stanczak. In fairly large print on the bottom of the paper was the main reason everyone was here because it was a raffle for two front row seats to the game. So I go to the counter to get my raffle ticket and the number was 041796.

A judge came up to a bright yellow podium to greet the audience, and after some five minutes about the greatness of the match he began the raffle. He said, "This raffle is like no other. You must have the birthday of one of the stars in the match in order to win. We did make sure only one person got it."

Someone right in front of the podium said, "I think I got it the birthday of Sri Kodali. " She went up to the stage gave the judge the ticket .

He replied, "Her number is ...4...17…96."

I realized that was my number the same so I said, "I have the same number!"

"Come up to the podium so I can check if you are right." replied the judge. I go to the judge with sweat seeping into my cap very fast. He check my number and said to the whole audience, "There seem to be a tie between these to people therefore to decide who is the winner they will do a simple game of Rock, Paper, Scissors."

"Oh my god..." goes most the crowd, "… that is such a simple game." I go into my position and put out my hand. So does the opponent who I still don't know is. I think in my head that most likely she will do rock, so I shall do paper. Well, that did not work out to well because I lost the first round. In the second round I won using scissors. The final round came and both of us were as nervous as a president giving his first speech to the public. I choose paper the one I never one with but I had a very strong gut feeling that I would win with it. We go down in unison to pick our choice and she picks … rock, which means I won!!! The crowd goes in a uproar, and the first thing I think of is that I should call Aidan to the exhibition match.


I called up Aidan and he replied in a weird voice, "Hellllllllllllo, Aidan
speaking."

I replied, "Yo this is Bailey."

"Hey Bails."

"Hey."

"Guess what."

"What?"

"I won a lottery to a best game in the world."

"Men's Hockey final in the Olympics."

"Even Better."

"What can beat that."

"Front row seat…"

"TO WHAT!"

"The 1-set exhibition match between Rodger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who
will our old best friends Srinand Kodali aka Slinnerd, and Tyler Stanczak
aka T-bone."

"You got to be kidding me."

"I am not. I bought a lottery ticket. Played rock, paper scissors against
this one girl."

"Who is this girl."

"The more I think about that might be that one girl who beat me in the
previous lottery for second row tickets for the game."

"You mean …"

"Yes, it is Leah."

"The one who you use to fight with in Honors Geometry in Middle School."

"Yep."

"Well I hope there are not behind us or else I am going to kill them."

"Now there Aidan don't go to far."

"Fine."

"I spill ice cold Coke on her."

"That is cruel plan old cruel."

"I know, I know."

"Well anyway come to my house immediately."

"See you in about one hour."

"Bye."

"See ye."





We go to our seat and sat down. Suddenly a person comes up to us a
congratulated us, since we won the lottery. The he went away. Two other
people came walking in and the first thing that come to my mind is Leah. She
silently came down the isle with her boyfriend Matt. We didn't speak to
them, and they didn't speak with us. The Arena was full in minutes. Then the
players came out. First Rodger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The crowd roared
for them. But, When Tyler and Sri came out the only was making most of the
noise was Aidan, Me, Leah, and Matt. Everyone stared at us but we are proud
to support our best friends. They start up warming up a bit and then the
true action starts.

Sri starts out to serve. He bounces it 5 times back and forth between his
legs. He tosses the ball up and goes into the back-scratcher. He waits for
the perfect moments and hits a hard slice. The ball zooms past Nadal for a
clean ace. This happened for a second time for another point. The score is
30-luv. Sri does the same ritual but it does not have enough speed and Nadal
hits it right at Tyler. Tyler steps in and hits a nice volley toward Roger,
but Rodger hits the ball as hard as he can for a Line Drive. The ball is
out. The score is set at 40-luv, and a sweat come down Rodger cheek he wipes
it out and get ready to return the serve. Sri does once again the same
ritual and hits a ace right on the T that goes at a whooping 150 mph. A
little less than the world record. The set stands 1-0. with Rodger up to
serve. The quickly get a drink. While I go and get some snacks. I slowly
come back down with two cokes, popcorn, and my favorite jalapeño nachos. I
slowly come down and just before a I get to my seat Matt trips me a I fall
face first onto the court. I went unconscious.

That was pretty much why I was in a hospital with Rafael Nadal, Roger
Federer, Tyler Stanczak, and Sri Kodali. The doctor comes up to me and tell
me what is wrong with me.

He said, "You broke your wrist, and both your legs during that dramatic
fall. Otherwise you are fine."

I said, "Thank god I am not dead."

Rodger came up to me I said, "All of us tennis player decide, that you and
you friend Aidan can sit on the court this time with us."

I replied, "Are you sure I am not dead."

"Yes I am."

I screamed my loudest "Fantastic I will get a wheelchair and watch the
match of my lifetime!"

THE END

Chapter 2 from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Imagine being a boy living in the 18th century. You given a job to whitewash a fence, so in order to have fun you perform the job slowing, waiting for the next dimwit to come up so you can manipulate him, In chapter two from the book The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain shows the live of a boy who just loves to manipulate other people to do his job.

Even though it is some somewhat evil, Tom Sawyer is you average kid trying to get a job done in his own way. He tries to manipulate by trying to make them think that whitewashing is fun. For example on page 14 Tom says, “Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?” Then and there Tom sucker punches his victim to do his job of whitewashing his fence. To do such a thing you really need to have a rotten brain which is exactly what Tom Sawyer has. Adding to that right at the beginning of the story when he starts to whitewash his fence he says his famous line, “[The fence was about] thirty yards broad, [and] nine feet high!” If any one were to paint a fence like that they would probably start at midnight and end at midnight, and Tom supposedly finish with his servant in about 8 hours flat. Therefore good ol’ Tom Sawyer is making a mountain out of a molehill.

While Tom is trying to convince many people that working is fun, one of the victims is Slave Jim. Slave Jim is a very innocent character in the book that is not like Tom at all. He likes to do his work to the full of his abilities, because he knows if he doesn’t do it adequately he will get a big spanking by Aunt Polly. The only reason he almost does some work is that he liked the bribe. Which is, “[A] white alley, … and it’s a bully tow.” This is supposed to be a high-quality marble. In the end Jim takes the marble from his hand and ran away teaching Tom a life lesson.

On the other hand Ben Rodger is your normal dimwit. He was easily caught under the grasp of Tom’s awful way of words. Tom had to use basic manipulation techniques to grab hold of the imbecile. If Ben would bulk up and realize what he was doing, he would have easily done the same thing to Tom as Jim did. On the contrary Ben is just plain old stupid. Come on, giving up a juicy apple to whitewash your average picket fence I mean come on man!

Most likely Tom won’t stop manipulating people to do his work, but Chapter two from the story The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, teaches you a very good lesson about manipulation. In conclusion, the moral for this story is that when given a job think like Jim not like Tom.

Day of the Butterfly

Imagine being the outcast of the school, the ugly duckling, because you have to be with your brother who is having some problems in school. Usually everyone would make fun of you but instead they don’t even care about you. In the short story "Day of the Butterfly" by Alice Munroe Myra Sayla is not your average outcast.


Myra Sayla is probably one of the most nicest characters you would ever read about. She is leaving her social life in order to take care of her little brother who is shy. There are probably a handful of people in our country who would do such a thing. Pretty much every single teenager living in the country now has some sort of social network which may include in person, online websites, and in-game chatting. Myra on the other hand leave all of this in order to help a brother who is little shy. Even if she takes the brother to play with the other girls on the playground the brother would be considered wimp not to play with the boys alone. Adding to that Myra can't be with the boys because everyone would think she is a tomboy. Therefore if the students in the school could be a little more friendly to Myra she might have been a better person in life.

Myra Sayla is basically an outcast because she has to take care of her younger brother, in the short story "Day of the Butterfly" by Alice Munroe. Think about a world without all these problems with boys and girls gone. Then, all of us might be living in a perfect social world.

Story of an Hour

Imagine being a woman in the 1800’s. Your parents would most likely say to you that when you grow up you must get married, have kids, and take care of the house. Suddenly your husband dies and the first thing that usually comes to mind is what will I do next? But this is not the case for Mrs. Mallard. In the short story “Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, the author creates a character who seems strange at first, but after some research that person makes perfect sense.

Mrs. Mallard has just heard the news of her husband’s death. To most women, their hearts would be inconsolable and their minds would probably not think properly, but Mrs. Mallard does not act this way. The first thing that comes to her mind is freedom. Now most people would think; man that is one strange person, but I fully understand her. Let’s imagine that two people are married in a rough relationship for a long time. Even though now you can divorce, if you divorce back then it would look odd. Everyone would think that you are a weird person and that you might just have married him/her for his/her money or other evil reasons. Therefore when Mrs. Mallard heard that her husband she almost instantly thought of freedom. Back in the 1800’s any women were in the same situation, but they would try to remarry someone else so they would not be the ugly duckling. In conclusion, this is the reason why Mrs. Mallard dies in the end of the story when she hears that her husband is alive.

The author Kate Chopin creates such a distinctive character in the short story “The Story of an Hour”, that without further research you might not be able to fully understand Mrs. Mallard. While being with a soul mate is great, you might just have endless possibilities if you don’t have one for a while.

The Battle on the Deserted island

On a deserted island, in the middle of Pacific, a battle rages on between Kosdarliitaria and the United States of America. Both sides were evenly matched, but the United States had the upper hand.

One day Kosdarliitaria was about to surrender when the president Sri said, “Unleash the secret weapon!!!” Suddenly out of the blue, there came out an immense unit measuring, 2.5 kosdars (25 miles) by 2.5 kosdars (25 miles). The United States troops were in awe, they have never saw such a massive artillery unit in their life.

Sri then said, “ATTACK!”

“Yes my master”, said the troops.

General Kod then said, “Unleash the droids from the robot making unit”. The massive unit unleashed 500 robot droids that started killing, every single person in their way. For every one minute that passed 5 soldiers had died. In was a tragic day full of death and hunger to kill the other country. After about four hours, the president of the United States got so upset that he calls for his secret weapon.

Even though the Americans were outnumbered 2000- 1025, they had 25 Jedi’s. The master Jedi, KODSR BAPEW of the planet Advil, had four light sabers and killed about 5 robot droids/ troops per minute. His Padawan, REARE LAKEN of the planet Xanax, was killing a very impressive 2 droids/ troops per minute. The robot droids/ troops had no chance against the experienced Jedis. The American whooped Kosdarliitaria troops, and after some about 5 hours of pure massacre both side retreated to camp.

On the final day of the battle the count totals were, 999 robot droid (one droid didn’t get fixed right), 900 super droids, 1 robot droid making unit, 750 kosdar troops, and 10 evil Jedi masters against 850 American troops, 50 Jedi masters and 750 clone troopers. They battle was fierce, and blood and robot parts was all over the place but in the end the United States Army had won the war and got the island that we know today has Hawaii. Even though the Americans were outnumbered they had the heart and the guts to win Hawaii. The battle of Kosdars was the most epic battle the world will ever know in the day years to come.

Art Analyze

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary Art has many meaning including, “1 : skill acquired by experience, study, or observation 2 a : a branch of learning: (1) : one of the humanities (2) plural : LIBERAL ARTS b archaic : LEARNING, SCHOLARSHIP 3 : an occupation requiring knowledge or skill 4 a : the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects; also : works so produced b (1) : FINE ARTS (2) : one of the fine arts (3) : a graphic art 5 a archaic : a skillful plan b : the quality or state of being artful 6 : decorative or illustrative elements in printed matter”. Art should really be defined as one’s way to express there feelings. The art piece Red, Yellow, Blue II, 1965 by Ellsworth Kelly is a very simple piece when you look at it at first but then you realize how much struggle the artist went through.

For many people painting red, yellow, and blue on three identical pieces of canvas is easy, but painting them on three 82 x 189 in perfectly in really impressive. No matter how much you look you can’t find a painter’s flaw. All the marks I did found though were most probably caused by transit. Also you can’t see any marks of the paintbrush; it almost looks like a computer did it. Therefore the artist Ellsworth Kelly is a very impressive artist that knows how to paint a piece of art that looks like a computer did it.

After some thorough research using the World Wide Web, there was some information that each canvas was supposed to represent different sculptures. Each one combine with one another would create the colors of a rainbow. Also Ellsworth Kelly liked to reduce pictorial elements to simple shapes and fields of uninflected color. Therefore this piece of art was meant to confuse people who did not do thorough research.

Even though it may look simple, Ellsworth Kelly makes sure that the critics of the piece don’t have such an easy time critiquing the art piece Yellow, Blue II, 1965. In conclusion, the artist Ellsworth Kelly likes to make sure that the viewer get confused at first but impressed in the end.
