Today for a feild trip we went to go see The Giver.The book The Giver was writen by Lois Lowry.But we didn’t read the book we saw a play.It was so cool to go see it done out as a play.I couldn’t believe that they could put the book into a play. We saw the play at East Hartford High.The play was performed by theater workers,and they were really good.I loved all of the features of the play too. Like in this one part everytime Jonas saw the color red,it would flash red. It was so cool. Anyway it lasted for about a hour I think.

If you have never saw the original movie High School Musical then you probably don’t know much about it. Well, High School Musical is about a boy named Troy [starring Zac Efron] who thinks that he is all that. And this new girl named Gabrella[starring Vanessa Anne Hudgens]. Now Gabrella is a very intelligent girl. Troy and Gabrella are both at the same place.Because they were both going on vacation.At a ski Resort.And they end up meeting each other at a 4th of July party.The reason they met is because they both were picked to sing karioki together.And so of course the girl starts to like the boy.Then the next time they see each other is when Troy is at school. Because Gabrella’s mom had to be transford to Albercuky.To learn more about the movie go on this site: Zac Efron Biography and then scoll down until you see the movie High School Musical.:]

There are many great people in the world.But did you ever think about Gandhi? Well if you don’t know much about Gandhi I will start by saying Gadhi defended Indian rights.Than after in England he studied law.Then he spent 20 years defending rights again,but not for the Indian people for immigrants in South Africa.Are you getting to know Ganhdi at all yet? Well if not I will give you more information. In 1914 he went back to India and then became a leader of the Indian National Congress.Gandhi was not a fan of violence at all, in fact he urged nonviolence and civil diobedience. Even though Gandhi is not here does not [mean] he is not with us. By, Amber Rose

Quotes from Gandhi……

“Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.”

“Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him.”

“Hatred ever kills, love never dies such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.”  I got my quotes at: The Official Mahatma Gandhi eArchive & Reference Library.

Before I did this project I didn’t know the true meaning of Gandhi. Now I understand the true meaning, and what he did to help the Indian rights.

Who would have ever thought…a kitten and a chick friends!

Did I ever tell you about my hamster?Well as you already know his name is Cotton.His name is Cotton because he is all white with red eyes and when he is sleeping he looks like a Cotton ball. And he is so fat.But if you ever meet Cotton you would probably want to hold him forever because he is so dang cute. I got Cotton at Petco. I got him for my 11th birthday. So Cotton is getting older. He just had his birthday yesterday so he is now 1 year old. In the past I have had some tragic things happen to my other pets, so I hope that nothing will hurt Cotton in anyway. Cotton is very healthy so thats good. Feel free to comment on my blog. [:

If I could go any where in the world it would have to be Portugal. I would want to go there because some of my family lives there. I use to study Portugal, by reading and using the internet. It is probably the most amazing place in the world,with it’s unique culture and language. Even though I studied Portugal I still want to learn more.
