Reading Journal (Don't you dare read this Mrs.Dunphrey)

Reading Journal

What i read this week is a part of the book called "Don't you dare read this Mrs.Dunphrey". This time on the way to her school, she gets in a fight with her little brother Matt, she says alot of detailed things about her brothers pain, and she also describes her brother as being as an easy target, she says that hurting her brother would be like hurting a bunny, kitten or bambi himself. This results in her being late and getting detention for a few days. Which would prevent her from picking her brother up from school. But she starts thinking that her brother is probaly old enough to walk home. She plans to buy her brother a bag of snicker bars. So that way, her brother would think that she forgave him already.

Reading Journal (Sorry for being late "Internet Connection was lost")

Reading Journal

What i've read over this weekend was a book called " Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey ". It starts out with a girl named Tish. For a school project she needs to write a journal. But due to her personal things that she does not want to reveal, she tells her teacher that she will write it down, on one condition. There will be pages that she cant read, labeling " Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey".
For the beggining, Tish says " Do you know how much of a drag school is?". While complaning saying that her life isnt fun or exciting in any way. Not only that but she happens to be an average C student. But one day she takes this test, thinking to herself, she decides to see the results if she actually tries, amazingly, she ends up with the highest score in the class. Even better than these students named Susan Stanwick and Mike Hardy, there basically the class brains. Susan comes up with an excuse saying she felt sick that day, due to her jelousy of Tish's score.

Power from Trees (FROM ARTICLE)

Recently, a team of MIT researchers happen to be using platinum electrodes & ficus plants to discover the truth behind of feeble electric currents from trees. They have come up with a solution. They state that the pH difference between the soil and the living tree is the cause of creating electric currents. Now scientists are arguing on how to this this source of power for human advantages.

Living well, Living good

Highlighted quotes of the story.

What Legacy was left which can help me in the art of living a good life.

"Resting in the bosom of Jesus"? If so, what about my Jewish loves, my Japanese dears, and my Muslin darlings. Into whose Bosom are they cuddled? There is always lurking quietly, the question of what certainty is there that i, even i, will be gathered into the gentle arms of the lord. I start to suspect that only with such blessed assurance will i be able to allow death its duties.

Life is pure adventure, and sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

Life seems to love the liver of it. Money and power can liberate only if they are used to do so.

When i think of death, and of late the idea has come with alarming frequency.

"Death, where is thy sting?"

Breaking Through Chapter 6

In this Chapter, Francisco finally graduates from middle school. Before the day of the graduation, the teacher asked the students to wear a white shirt and blue pants/skirt.
The next day he is proud about finally graduating Middle School and his father gives him a medal, which is considered a honor in his family. He is also is looking for a new book to read and he finds one out about Christopher Columbus. Reading that book, he finds out about Hernan Cortes. Francisco feels happy because it is the first Spanish name, he has seen in a school's library book. And that is how the chapter ends.
