Apple and Cyber Security

I think that Apple should unlock the persons phone that the FBI found. I also think that it is unfair that the FBI wants to make a skeleton key that unlocks every Apple device because people need privacy. I think that people should be able to keep their privacy. So I think there shouldn’t be a skeleton key, but I do think that apple should unlock the phone that the FBI found. My questions are how long is this debate going to go on for and if Apple is going to let the FBI make the skeleton key or not. I think that when the hospital situation happened that the FBI shouldn’t have said to give the hackers the money so soon. But if they didn’t figure it out for a while then they maybe should give them the money. I also think that they should’ve tried to hack into the hackers system to stop them having control of the computers. That is what  think about the hospital situation and the Apple FBI situation.

Human Computer

In d.lab we pretended to be a computer. There was peripherals, bios, ram, hard drive, fan, cpu, and users. I was ram( random access memory). I noticed that after the computer virus came it was much harder. I learned that a computer has to do lots of things a second. I would have liked to try hard drive.

My Font

 

I like that my font is 3-d. My first draft was much different then how it is now. The theme to my font is 3-d. My font does not have a name.

First Weeks Of School

20869080284_ff84904b38_z   The first few weeks of school have been really fun! So far I have really liked art and social studies. In social studies I really enjoyed The History Of The World In Two Hours. I can not wait till we can scan our fonts onto the computer so we can use them.  I liked on the first day when we got to split into groups, I chose art. I am also really excited for the Ashokan trip. One of my favorite parts this year has been getting dessert and chocolate milk.

In A Glass Grimmly

        Lucia

 

This summer I read In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz. It has a lot of different settings, but the main setting is in a kingdom near England called Märchen. The main characters are a boy named Jack and a girl named Jill. The main problem is that all the boys in the kingdom make fun of Jack because he always follows around a boy named Marie. They made up a song about it that goes like this: “Marie had a little lamb..” and you probably know the rest (lamb can also mean someone who follows people). Jill is the princess in the same kingdom and she also got humiliated because she was naked in front of the whole kingdom. she did not have any clothes on because a merchant was pretending to sell silk but it was not there he just said that only some people could see it. so she made a dress out of it wore it outside but she did not actually have anything on.

 

An event that changed the direction of the story is when  Jack has to sell his only friend Milky the cow. I think this changes the direction of the story because now jack does not have any friends and he sells the cow for magic beans (as you also probably know). When jack and Jill meet they have to make a big decision: either agree to get a glass an get all they ever wanted, but they will die if they don’t get it. Or don’t agree to anything and just live thier nomal lives again (but you don’t get all you ever wanted). I can not tell you what they choose but how I know they have to make this decsion is when it says “Now will you swear on your very lives to get the glass?”. The problem does get solved but at the end of the book. How I know this is when it says “the boys from the village sat beside Elsie and her little sister.” so they were friends with them now.

 

 

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it because it has lots of action and adventure. I also enjoyed it because it is really funny in some parts. And the third reason I enjoyed it is that it has a lot of fantasy. This book is in a series,it is the second book. I would recomend this book to readers who love fantasy because a lot of the book has fantasy in it. I would rate this book five stars, I  really enjoyed it!
