Book review

 

Right now I am in the middle of reading a book called The Legends Club. It is about the North Carolina college basketball powerhouses with the coaches Dean smith, Jim Valvano, and Mike Krzyzewski. This book tell you the history of there relationships and games and seasons together. I would definitely advise that you read this book if your into college basketball or just if your into sports.  At some points of the book though you need to know a little history of North Carolina basketball to know what they are talking about but other then that it’s a great book.

Crash Landing

Beep, Beep, Beep. I could hear the alarm going off. I knew right at that point that the plane was going down. It didn’t exactly feel like it but I just knew it. I kinda had that sinking feeling in my stomach. FYI not where you wanna be. If you didn’t notice I hate that feeling so much. For crash landing, we were going really slow. It felt like we had been in the air for so long. Which is not a bad thing. Even though it doesn’t seem like it, I am freaking out. Obviously I had never been in a plane crash before. I mean the only outcome of this is me dying. We were almost at the ground aka me dying and I didn’t exactly know that but I just had a feeling. It wasn’t a good feeling but it was a feeling. SMASH! We hit the ground. I felt like my stomach had just done twenty push-ups. I felt like I was dead, but to my astonishment I was not. I couldn’t even believe it. I mean besides the fact of me probably dieing in the middle of wherever I was. So first I had to see if I was hurt anywhere. There was no major injuries luckily, but I did have some bumps and bruises. When I was getting up I realized something very bad. There was no one else alive.

I couldn’t believe it I was the only one there alive. Everyone else was killed in the crash but I only had so minor bruises. I mean I couldn’t believe it. So I started to freak out. What was I going to do if there was nobody else alive. Then I thought, the worst thing to do was to freak out. So I tried to calm myself. After a little while I started to think how I am going to get out of this I mean I am lost. So since I have nothing I thought maybe I should just start walking and take as many supplies as there was left, so I did. I grabbed everything that was left, put it in a backpack and then started to walk in the direction of where we came from because I knew we were flying from the city.

I walked and walked and walked. I was getting so scared that I wasn’t actually going to make it and I was going to die out here in the forest. Then I started to think if I make it out alive I won’t have my family because no one but me survived! First though I had to make it out of the forest. I walked and walked and walked… and walked until finally I made it to a body of water. I thought maybe there is a city near here because where there is water there could be a city. So I started to walk along the coastline of the body of water. I was walking for a while when… I could see a city, I mean I didn’t know what city it was but it was definitely a city, and I knew that I could get some help.

 

 

This is one of my creative writing pieces. I think I could of done better with this piece because i’m just going on with the story and not describing things. I think if I explain certain topics in this story then it will make the story stronger. One thing I like about this piece is that it is completely fiction, but this could still happen in real life. Now I guess I know what to do if I am stranded in the middle of the forest with nobody after a plane crash landing.

 

 

 

Mandarin

Mandarin has been really fun this quarter. I have learned so much. My favorite thing we have done this quarter is our Tai Chi presentation. It was really fun practicing it and trying to get it perfect. I also learned so much about the Chinese culture from it.

In music we had to choose a certain genre of music we were interested in doing. I chose Pop Rock. The reason chose this is because it’s a mix between my two favorite genres of music: Pop and Rock. The difference between this genre of music and other is that there is so many different things you can do with pop rock because it’s a mix between two genres. It has been really fun writing in this genre because there is so many things I can do.

Who the Heck are you

In Humanities we are in the middle of a project called Who the Heck are You. For this project we were supposed to choose somebody that we were interested in interviewing. For my interview I chose our family friend Spike Mancheski who is a pilot. The reason I chose this person is because I was very interested in what he does for a living.

I am still in the process of conducting the interview, but before conducting the interview we had to do something else. Since we didn’t know if we could absolutely interview this person, we had to send them a hand-written letter. Once we got the confirmation that we could interview them, we had to come up with interesting question to ask during the interview. Tomorrow I am going to be conducting the interview. After I conduct the interview I will right up a entry about what I learned from Spike in the interview.

The class before is what we had before we did the graphs and the class after is a week after we did the graphs. The point of this was to compare the graphs.

My Parzival Essay

https://docs.google.com/document/d/17KsH_rxkhM9XW4KlteVHX34xRKzTWD7yMT5iKfVjO-w/edit

This is my Parzival essay. It is not done yet but I am very proud of the work I did on it. There is still a few edits that need to be made. When writing this I learned that essays can convince a outside readers opinion on and certain thing. The reason I am very proud of it is because I spent a lot of time on it and I think I gave good evidence to say that by Parzival asking questions it helps him.
