The book "Schooled" by Gordon Korman is a great book, and it teaches a lot of lessons. Reading this book gave me a feel of how people live outside of what many people think of as the normal world. Many lessons were learned in this book by many characters.

One of the main lessons I saw in this book, was when something bad happens, do not panic, and trust your instinct to do the right thing. For example, in the beginning of the book, the main character Cap's grandma falls out of a tree picking cherries, and breaks her hip. Cap trusts his instinct, and rushes her to the hospital. That turned out to be the right thing to do, because if he hadn't done that, his grandma could have damaged her leg forever. That was a turning point in the book.

Although that was a big lesson there are still some more lessons that this book had. After Cap drove to the hospital, he had to go live with a family with a mean high schooler. She hates Cap from the very beginning, but Cap doesn't run away, or hide. She thought that Cap was a freak, because he was a hippie. But Cap stood up for what he believed in. That was the lesson from that part of the book.

While other lessons were learned in the story, those were the main big ones. Smaller lessons consist of doing the right thing, treat people as you would like to be treated and others. Cap was a saint in this book for doing all those, and more. While the main character in this book had many lessons to be learned, other characters also showed many lessons. Caps grandma taught Cap the lessons but she needed to learn some to. She was confident in the book about everything but always got over confident. The lesson that this person learned in the book was just that. Not to be overconfident. This is one of the few examples of lessons characters had to learn.

In this book, character had a lot of lessons to learn. I still liked this book a lot, even though many characters were screwing up so much. I would recommend this book to people to read, because it keeps you thinking, and gives lots of laughs.

All star gmae; basketball

In the All star game, the sports best players face off in a competition. There are more than just one game to watch though, becuause there are dunk contests, skills challenges, and celebrity All Star games. In the celebrity all star game, Justin Beiber played for some reason, and got the MVP for doing nothing. In the real All Star game, Lebron James got a triple double, which means he got ten of three things. He got 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. The only person other than that to get a triple double in an All Star game is Michael Jordan. The MVP went to Kobe Bryant, just because he had 39 points. I thought Lebron should've gotten it.

The book "Schooled" by Gordon Korman is a great book, and it teaches a lot of lessons.

As Cap Anderson climbed out of the car, he could not believe his eyes. More than a thousand people were standing around with sad faces on, holding candles. Cap could not e seen by anyone, because his face was covered by the Mickey mouse hat. He wanted to throw it off and yell, " I am alive." The look on some kids faces told him the whole story though. Almost everyone was looking at the kid in the Mickey mouse hat with hate. Cap knew they couldn't see him, but the way everyone's faces were, he knew if he took off the hat, he would be mobbed. He climbed back into the car, and promised himself he was never going to go to that school again, never.

Even though Cap was sad about the ceremony that apparently went very wrong for him, he couldn't stay that way because he was now going back to Garland. When he got there, Sophie parked in front, dropped him off and took off. When Cap stepped out he saw a fancy car, with a woman sitting on the hood just smiling at him. He recognized this person immediately though. What was his hippie grandmother doing in a fancy car and nice clothes? She stared at him for another minute, got in the car and drove off. Cap was stunned.

Although his grandma had left him behind, Cap still was determined to take good care of Garland farm, where he used to live. When he walked up to the rusty old gate, he saw the terrible sign. It read, " Due to the decisions of the mayor of the town, Garland farm has been CLOSED for all time." Cap read the message over and over again. He looked up the dirt road at the wooden cottages, and the old trees bearing no fruit. Then slowly, he turned around and walked away not ever looking back.

While Cap Anderson was sad about his old home, he was also excited about moving back in with his old family, the Donnelly's. He was also excited about going back to his old school he went to while living with them. When he rang the doorbell and asked to come in, the family was very eager to have him back. As he climbed the white creaky stairs, all the memories started to flow back to him. He remembered the scratch on the wall, and the mark on the floor. But something was wrong.

Even though Cap felt well inside the house, he still had an urge to be back at Garland. He sprinted out the glass front door, across the lawn, and down the street. He didn’t stop sprinting until he reached the sign again. Without thinking, he climbed over it and again sprinted until he was inside his wooden cottage. Breathing as hard as a raging bull, he climbed into the old mattress he used for as a bed, and drifted off to sleep. He had no clue what would be happening the next morning.

The Packers Victory

When the Packers won the Super Bowl on Sunday, my house went crazy even though there were only eight people in our house. My family was there, and the Majeskies were there. My mom started screaming so loud after every little thing that the Packers did that I'm surprised that she didn't drive us mad. She had a sore throat the next day. When games like this come, I like to pass the time through the bad parts of the games by eating. That day I had 15 cookies, and 6 gatorades.

Super Bowl

The Packers are quite unfortunately going to lose. The game is still fun to watch, but I think they will lose. I want them to win, but I don't think that's going to happen. The steelers are very good, and I don't know if the Packers can pull it off. It will be close, but a tough game. During the game, I will probably eat so much that I can't talk. That's what I did last year. I love the Super bowl Sunday.
THE PACKERS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

school after snow day

After a snow day I hate going to school. When I wake up in the morning I feel like I need a gallon of coffee and a couple 5 our energies. The whole day I am in a daze, and I almost fall asleep during classes. During gym it is the worst, but the best at the same time. I die in gym, but it wakes me up for the rest of the day. When I get home from school, I feel great, but then I realize that there's another day ahead of me just like it.

Have you ever been completely scared of something so much that you can't out your mind to do it again? I can relate to this story quite a bit. There were many times when things happened to me, and I was afraid to do what I usually could do without thinking about it. There have been any times when I got hurt, and when that happened, I hold back a little when I play sports. Eventually, that feeling will go away, and I won't even think about what happened. When the author said he thought he was drowning in the pool, I can't really relate to that, because I've never felt like I'm drowning.

Although I can't relate to when the author said he thought he would drown, I can relate to when he was afraid do go swimming again. For example, when I broke my arm, I was afraid to do any physical activity for a long time, even after it was healed. When that feeling eventually went away, the worst thing happened to me; I broke my arm again. I was completely freaked to do any sort of activity at all for the next year. I broke my arm one more time in fifth grade, and was only out for the baseball season. By the time I came back, I was still a bit nervous about what was going to happen to my arm, but it was fine. These are some ways I can relate to the author.

Even though I broke my arm three times, I wasn't don
e yet. I had three concussions, and a torn patellar tendon in my knee. I shied away from sports for a while, but came back strong as ever. When the author said he went swimming a lot after he got over the fear, that's exactly what happened to me. I still play sports, and now without any fear. This is a very good thing, because I play 4 sports, and I can't feel like I might get hurt at any point and time, because that will effect how hard I play.

Even when I read this story I was thinking about how much me and the author are alike, and how much we are different. For example, both the author and I were scared to do a sport we enjoyed, until finally we got over that fear. But the sport I played and the sport he did, were extremely different. When you swim and you're very scared, that must be even worse. There is a lot more that could happen to you when you're swimming then playing basketball in my opinion.

Although I can relate to this story, I don't think the author and I have to much in common. Lots of people could probably relate to this story, but in their own way just like I did.

Snow Days

I like it when we have snow days, because of course that means no school. I liked snow days last year, but this year they're great, because this year I don't have to get up so early on snow days. If we do have a snow day tomorrow, chances are Zach will come over, and steal everything in my pantry. Every time he comes over he steals all my stuff like cookie dough. I won't let him steal anything if he comes over though. On snow days, sometimes I just sit inside and do NOTHING, and sometimes I will go out and play in the snow. I can't now though because I fractured my knee.
