Knight Monologue

The king is before me. I am in a grand room. Will I die? I do not want to be killed on crusade or in battle. What is my fate? My armor is heavy. I can feel the sweat running freely down my back. I am excited, happy, anxious, nervous, and regretting my life decisions. Hopefully I won’t die. I feel the sword, and the king has tapped me with it. I feel the sweat more where he touches me. I do not want to go on Crusade. Crusade is going out and conquering places where God is not worshipped. I highly regret all my life choices. It is my first time holding my sword, as a knight. It’s terrible to be me. My family was all knights, making me a knight automatically. I hate being a knight. I want to say stop, to stop the ceremony, but I don’t, because that would be disrespectful. Why? I feel like I am signing my death warrant. Hello, heaven or hell.

“Rise, sir knight,” says the king.

The ceremony is over. I am a knight. A bloody knight. I don’t have the heart to kill.

I am scared about Crusade. I am scared I will take mercy and not kill everyone. Especially on innocents. Why do I have to be a knight? “God, please take mercy on me and don’t send me on Crusade.” I pray. I realize I am still on my knees after he said “rise, sir knight.” How embarrassing. I rise to my feet feeling bad for myself. Then everyone starts cheering. I force a smile onto my face. I try to hide my feelings. I feel like why am I even doing this?

Descriptions using adjectives in french

When I was creating my Halloween picture I learned about was how to write a sentence in French using regular and irregular adjectives. There are 2 possible placements of an adjective, before the noun or after the noun. If it follows the BAGS rule then it goes before the noun, and anything else goes after the noun. The bags rule are adjectives that refer to beauty, age, goodness, and size.

My coat of arms

aloncoatofarms

This is my coat of arms. In medieval times this is what I would be known by. Each element represents something. I used blue because I believe in truth and loyalty. I left half of the shield white because white means peace and sincerity. The star of David is in it because I am Jewish. I put in the stag antlers because it means one who will not fight unless provoked which I think is a really good trait which I believe in so I drew the antlers. At the bottom is a motto with which I agree because I do believe that violence is bad but sometimes it is the only option.

Science Diorama

Our model is of all the tunnels and water mains in NYC and what role they play in NYC’s water supply. We will tell the story of tunnel NO. 3 and what we think Bill De Blasio should do about it. We think that Bill De Blasio should resume construction on tunnel NO. 3 because we think that it will play a key role in NYC’s water supply. It will service Everywhere and in case the other tunnels break down and will allow Bill De Blasio to service tunnels NO. 1 and 2. With our growing population in the city we need to get more water around the city and we think that tunnel NO. 3 is a great option to help everyone out. Since tunnels NO. 1 and NO. 2 are so old the risk of them breaking down gets higher every year.

Summer Learning

I learned that if you work hard for something you will get it. This summer I saw My whole family and it was so much fun to see them and play with them. This summer I discovered that a little kindness goes a long way. I built a happiness for being with my family. I visited Israel where I saw my entire family. I experienced lots of fun with my family.  When I played with my cousins a game called Overwatch, it was a lot of fun to play Overwatch with them and it was plain fun.
