Q3: Week 3 ATDPTI response

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a relatively easy read. It makes sense as you read it and teaches you some good life lessons. This a book that uses humor but at the same time teaches you about acceptance and following your dreams. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is different than most of the books I have read, but it is interesting.

Junior is the main character. He is a character that can be described as having hope. Although Junior understands that the Indians go to school at the Reservation, he believes that he wants to go to Reardan. He follows through with that thought and states that if he didn't do it now he never would. Another thing that Junior does that demonstrates hope is that most of the time Junior expects that he won't have a ride home from school but he keeps his head up and finds a way to get home even if it means walking or catching a ride with someone else.

    I really like how you summed up the book so far. I completely agree with how you described Junior's personality as hopeful. I also agree that the book has some really good life lessons. Great post!

Q1: Week 3- Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was one of the top five most destructive, harmful, and costly hurricanes to hit the United States. This hurricane was a category 5 which meant it had the most forceful winds. Katrina cost the United States about $108 billion dollars and killed over 1,800 people. The hurricane traveled from southeastern to central Bahamas, then when it first made landfall it was in southeastern Florida as a category 1 hurricane. Katrina transitioned to a category 5 hurricane when it went into the Gulf of Mexico. When Katrina made landfall in southeastern Louisiana and then once again along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, its intensity lowered to a category 3 hurricane. New Orleans was left with massive damage from Hurricane Katrina due to breaks in the levee separating New Orleans from Lake Pontchartrain. By August 31st, when the hurricane was coming to an end, New Orleans was left almost completely under water by about 80%. The highest surge from Katrina was near Bay St. Louis, MS. Also

Q1:Week 2 My Story

I am standing on the beach with my two dogs, Bella and Roxie, and my sister getting ready to take family pictures. As the photographer approaches,  we start to take the leashes and collars off of Bella and Roxie. The whole time I am taking Bella's collar off I am thinking to myself, " I know she is going to run away any minute" and "I really hope she does not spot a bird". My sister and I begin to sit down with our dogs sitting next to us, when to our dismay Bella sets her eyes on a bird flying above us. As I am reaching my hand to get a hold of her, I am a  moment to late. Bella has taken off. I stand up and start chasing after her while everyone else is shouting her name. All I can hear is faint noises and all I am hoping for is the bird will change directions and start flying back to the photographer and my sister. As I am running after Bella,  people are just looking at her running but no one will grab her. Luckily, just as I was about to think of another

Q2: Week 5 LOTF Response

[Piggy:] "I don't agree with all Jack said, but with some.  'Course there isn't a beast in the forest.  How could there be?  What would a beast eat?" "Pig." "We eat pig." "Piggy!" "I got the conch!" said Piggy indignantly.  "Ralph--they ought to shut up, oughtn't they?  You shut up, you littluns!  What I mean is that I don't agree about this here fear.  Of course there isn't nothing to be afraid of in the forest.  Why--I been there myself!  You'll be talking about ghosts and such things next.  We know what goes on and if there's something wrong, there's someone to put it right." He took off his glasses and blinked at them.  The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. [...] "Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is.  In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back.  I know there isn't no beast--n
