Found Poem

The Most Epic Day
Don't forget to celebrate the joy of Christmas 
                                                       To give back, love and respect 
                                                              everyone around you
                                                      Always have hopes and dreams 
                                                         That is the road to success 
Don't let people tell you the skies the 
limit when there
Is footprints on the moon
                                                           Because everyone deserves 
                                                                  to be treated equally 
                                                      And to love who you want to love 
  Where all humans 
Just remember there are free 
pancakes and waffles 
At the end waiting for you

Inquiry Reflection

1.During the inquiry process I learned that without having the balance of power our world would be corrupt and full of chaos because everyone would want to be powerful and control things. So without the balance the world would be destroyed.
2.I didn't experience any challenges during the process.
3.I would try to have more information on the topic instead of having just little information to explain things better.
4.there are no connections between my experiences and my inquiry question.

Hamlet On Revenge

1) I don't think that revenge is good because it only causes more problems and this whole revenge thing will just go on and on.

2) I think that it has to do more with damaging the person life who has committed the crime rather than healing personal trauma. People can say that it helps them with personal trauma but it really has do do with hurting the person.

3) Forgiveness is a better path because it's always better to forgive the person even though they have hurt you. I think that you wouldn't be doing any good hurting that person because you would just be going down to there level and being no different then them.

4) Yes, there is a difference because avenging is an inflict harm in return for an injury or wrong done to oneself or another, like avenging your mothers murder. So revenge means to hurt someone that has hurt you or has wronged you.

Getting to Know You

Who I Was;
    So my personality and my identity has not really changed much over the years. My personality has 

always been the same. I have always been that kid who doesn't talk much and does his own thing. 

Also, the person who is nice and helpful to the people around him.I think that it has shaped my 

identity as well and as people see me and know me now. So since my identity has shaped my 

personality, it reflects what wear and how I act. Example how i act in class. However outside of 

school i am a bit different.......

Who I am;
   Today i am the same person that I was last year, you know that quiet kid who doesn't talk much and

does his own thing and who is nice- helpful. Overall me personality is the same as it was last year or 

the year before. Enough about that, now on to things I like to do. So some of the things that I like to 

do i splay video games, browse the internet, go biking, watch movies and most importantly going to 

sleep. These are just some of the things that I like to do. On my spare time or what ever. I usually

 would be playing video games or playing hockey, but on the weekends I go biking and watch 

movies. So here are some things that I dislike which is doing house work like cutting the grass or 

doing the dishes. Reason being i don't like to do those things.

Who I Will Be:
     In the future I see my self going to collage or university and bettering my education, also starting 

my career. But 5 to 10 years from now I see myself with a good job and living on my own, but when 

it comes to goals well I don't have a lot of goals right know. Except for graduating from high school 

getting into university and as always getting good grades. I plan to do this by working hard and trying 
to do my best toward them. that is what i have planned for the future.

Advice

Dear Grade 8 self,

     I have some advice that you can use, that will help you in the future. First off you (when i say you I mean I) should pay more attention in class and listen more to the teacher instead of listening to your friends talk about random things. Also to do all of your homework on time instead of waiting until last minute to do it and hand it in.
     Also instead of sitting on your butt and watching t.v or playing video games you should get outside and be more active instead of being lazy. SO while your doing that you should get involved in sports and join a sports team so you can stay healthy and stay fit. Lastly do not borrow money because I know that you that you are not good at paying the person back whom you borrowed from. Which later will become a problem. So that's all of the advice that I have for you and know you have to figure thing out for yourself.

P.S: When you are in grade 12 and are writing this in your English class come up with different advice to give to your self.

From your grade 12 self.

The Road

Pg.253( When there stuff goes missing)
The Son:
 Me and my papa where walking back to our camp, when all of the sudden my papa started to yell and told me to hurry up and get going. When I had looked up I had say that everything was gone, and we rushed towards the road to see if we could see the person who had taken our things. When we got to the road we saw no one except for a trail of sand heading down the road. We cleaned off our feet and started to follow the trail of sand, we had walked for maybe 5 to 10 min down the road until we saw a man bent over our cart going along the road. At that point my papa started to yell at the man and told him to stop and back away from the cart. After when the man had saw us he did what my papa told him to do, then my papa told the man to takeoff his close and put in the cart. Then we had left the man on the side of the road naked.

The Father:
 As my son and I where walking back to our camp site, I noticed that there where boot-prints in the sand and all of our things where missing. i looked up and down the beach to see if any one on was there but I saw no one. My son and I rushed to the road to see if we could find any tracks and t see what direction the thief had gone. We walked along the road and found a sand track heading south. We followed it along the road and found the man that took all of our stuff. I pulled the pistol out  and told the man to back away. The man looked around as if there was some there to help him, the I told him again to back away and put his weapon on the cart and the did as i said. We slowly walked up to him and grabbed the cart. Then I told him to take all of his clothing off and put it in the cart. After he had did that my son and i had left and went on are way.
