on The eye drawing project has been one of the best art pieces I’ve ever drawn. It’s something I’ve been very careful and neat while working on it. The final process of my drawing is going to be finishing the eyelashes on my eye. I feel amazing about my art piece. The piece is, like I said, one of the best things I’ve ever drawn. If I had to change one thing, it would be to shade my eye better than it is now.
on Still Alive
We wanted more
There was no more food left in the cupboard
We were famished
Dad went out for some food
He didn’t come back
It was a long winter
We barely scraped through
Then Tommy started to freeze
And so did my aunt
It was just me and mom
We left home in search of food
Mom got tackled by a creature
She didn’t die
It was our father

on Step 1 = Insert that you are in charge. Make sure nothing happens that could effect the family when you are not there. It could get a camel or your family member killed. I’ve experienced this with my daughter Shabanu when she ran off to save a baby camel that wasn’t going to die.
Step 2 = If you don’t have a son, make one of the daughters act like a son so you have somebody who can help you with work. If you have a son, you don’t need to pay attention to this.
Step 3 = If your sister-in-law thinks they are so great cause they have sons, remind them that you are a man, and they are a women. Then you show them that you’re stronger than them.
on Step 1 = If they weigh more than you, you need to use their weight against themselves. If you do this properly, the opponent will fall to the ground when you move, giving you a easy position to finish the fight. If you weigh more than them, you will have the advantage of power and if you hit them correctly, you can end the fight quick.
Step 2 = Get the crowd on your side. You need to be the crowd’s favorite to frustrate the opponent and to give you more momentum.
Step 3 = Win the battle. If you have followed this simple steps to beat a grown Pakistani man in a fight, you will immediately see results in your fighting. Soon, you will be good enough to fight for prizes.
on On 4/19/17, we had our Medieval Pageant for our guilds. I was in the Arms and Armor guild and we presented in the auditorium. For the first group, I was a little bit nervous because I had to host and describe my chess project but it turned out good and the rest of the tours went smoothly. At the end of the third tour, we were going to get knighted. We all lined up near the wall and Dan knighted us with a copy of the Dragon Sword which is the old sword that Kings knighted people with. I went to the Stonemason’s guild and saw Andrei and Matias and they were spectacular. They added facts about their topic while having a heated argument.
on A goal I have for the rest of the school year is to be more steady in a chair. Sometimes, I climb and hang from my chair in homeroom and that’s not the steadiest thing to do. I learned that the steadier people that I’m with, the more steady I am. I was with my parents for a week in California and I was more relaxed than I usually am. I had a week at camp and I was more relaxed there then I ever was at camp. A way I could get more steady on a daily basis is to have a conversation with my parents who made me more steady over the break. Thomas Szasz once said
on 2 Wednesdays ago, one of Lynne’s friend Hind, who is a Muslim came into our class.
We talked about how Muslims eat, their culture and what they wear. This is in the curriculum that we’re working on. You have to eat with your right hand and with your thumb, middle finger and pointer finger. We ate this delicious food called Sufrah and it consists mostly of chicken and rice. It was so so so good. We took home leftovers to our parents and my parents loved it. My mom took it to work for lunch.

This is my drawing of Pelicans center Demarcus Cousins, former Kings player. This was drawn when he was still on the Kings. This was originally going to be David Ortiz but I changed it mid-drawing. This shows if you make a mistake, you can always turn it into something good.
on 
This is my drawing of Jazz small forward Gordon Hayward. This was the drawing I was most proud of because I thought I drew it really well.
on My topic was the Louvre. A goal I completed while doing this was doing well on research and finding the right things about the Louvre. I also think I managed my time well . The colors and the numbers refer to different lines. I learned that the Louvre is the largest museum in the world. My favorite part of this project was when we shared our projects for specific reasons.(cake)
