// Jinx by Margaret Wild, // // Do you like stories with sad and unbelievable deaths? If so, Jinx by Margaret Wild is a book you wouldn’t want. It has a happy beginning, a very sad middle, and then a happy ending. Why would dome one want to read such a sad book? It’s very wired and cool with the interconnected poems, which convey the thoughts, feelings, and actions of Jen, her family, and her friends. // // Jinx is a book about Jen who doesn’t start out as Jinx yet. Jen leads a fairly normal life with a few rough spots. Her parents are divorced, her father “the Rat” has remarried, and her sister Grace has Down’s Syndrome. Life is wonderful after Jen starts to date Charlie, until he commits suicide. She loses it for a while, running around and acting wild. Eventually she becomes friends with Ben. But when he is killed, Jen renames herself Jinx, because she must be the most unlucky girl in the world. // // Of course I can’t tell you hoe the book ends, but I will tell you what I liked most about the book. The brief narratives precisely capture the spirit of the character, feeling, or moment. Together, the poems create something larger: a portrait of a young women pulling herself out of despair. An example from the book: I tell my family from now on I am Jinx. Grace doesn’t know what it means, but mom is horrified. “you are not a jinx! None of this had anything to do with you. It’s not your fault!” Maybe not. But I am an unlucky person to love. // // Will Jinx ever be Jen again? Will she ever forgive herself? If your not afraid of unbelievable deaths and interconnected poems then I recommend this book for you. //
 * // Book Report 2 //**

// This morning we went to a “party” at the Forks in the children’s theatre. We all recognized the music because they played hip hop, rock, classic but with a twist. I recognized the song Beautiful Nightmare by Beyoncé, Right Round by Flo Rida, Hard by Rihanna, and lots more. Everyone was dancing and having fun. //
 * // Black violin //**

// I liked the music and the performance because I thought the performers were going to be up tight and that it was going to be boring people playing the violin but it wasn’t! It was cool and new, it was “thinking outside the box”. Nobody thought the performance was boring, after they started playing. //

// The style of the performance and music was all different, hip hop, rock, classic but it seemed harmonious when it was all meshed together. It seemed to fit with all the different styles, it was very good because it was something no one thought of and new. //


 * // Deer Rampage on the Olympic Speed Skating Course //**

// Cindy Klassen was on the speed skating course when she crashed into a deer, this happened in Vancouver, February 23, 2010 at 7:30pm while practising. People say this happened because there weren’t enough boarders around the course to keep out the wild life and that the course wasn’t safe either. There will be later news to see if the course will be sued. //

// Out of no were a deer comes running on the Vancouver Olympic course when Cindy Klassen was on the course practising! Cindy Klassen crashed into the deer and they both went sliding on the ice. When they came to a stop the deer got up and ran towards the forest. Cindy Klassen wasn’t badly hurt but her arm had to be put in a brace for a few weeks. Reporters say they should of put a boarder around the course so there would be no more interferences with wild life again. //

 * // Editorial Persuasive: Recycling //**

// Say you have a plastic bottle in your hand and there’s a trash can and a recycling bin side by side in front of you. Which would you choose? //

// In most surveys there guessing that there’s at least some possibility that you would choose the trash can. But why? Like if the recycling bin was 30 feet away maybe the quick decision would be I guess understandable, but if the trash and the recycling bin were side by side? Recycling can be confusing, so maybe you meant well but just didn’t know what to do. //

// But mostly I just think you were to lazy to just walk over to the recycling bin and put the plastics bottle in. If you were one of the many helpful people who actually did the right thing by recycling, then good for you! But we need a lot more people like you. So the next time your walking on your way to work or school, could you at least pick up that plastic bag? // = Math = [|coin math] [|BOB 2] [|percent post] [|Surface area growing post] [|fours 4 post] [|rate growing post] [|ratio post] [|what i know about graphs] [|73]http://spmath87309.blogspot.com/search/label/kaitlin.L8-73
