I think that the Of Mice And Men Novel was pretty good. It to me had very little meaning but kept my attention focused. I really didn’t grab too much of a concept of the movie but I did gather some things together. I noticed that in he book George and Lennie were always together. I also noticed that Lennie listened to whatever George said.
Lennie and George to me were like Tom and Jerry, Bonnie and Clyde, Batman and Robin. To me I think that one would lose importance without the other. But I think that the since Mr. Romero showed me the movie version of this book it opened the story up a little bit more
This book was good. I would give it about 3.5 stars just on the count of its conversation towards my attention. This book wouldn’t get a referral from me though.

Between The Questions Of Mice and Men
Why do George and Lennie keep moving from job to job?
George and Lennie are always getting into some trouble or they just have to keep moving because of whatever reason. Like they said they work up a stake in one town and spend the stake in another town.
Do you think George and Lennie need each other?
George and Lennie need each other they are like a non-gay completion of each other. George needs Lennie because Lennie did most of the hard working jobs to keep them getting by. Lennie and I don't think anyone would care for Lennie like George does.
Do you think Lennie would be okay without George?
I don't think so because I don't think anyone else besides George would take time out of their life to take care of a large guy like Lennie.
What did Curly demand that Slim already had?
Curly would have to fight and argue to have demand for respect. When Slim comes into a room everyone is quiet because people respect him. Curly has to pick bigger people to fight to have some type of respect Slim has but he doesn't know how to do it. Curly isn't respected because of how he acts.
Is George and Lennie's relationship more symbolic or parasite?
George and Lennie's relationship is more sybeotic because they need each other. George needs Lennie because Lennies size gets jobs done quick and with more quality. Lennie needs George because George is like a guide to Lennie. Lennie is a little slow so he stays with George because he won't neglect him because he is slow.

UNIFORM? how do we feel?
Staff and students feel differently about the uniform policy that our Dean of students Ms.Morison enforced. The uniform policy was first noticed in 1998. When the School District noticed that kids were being teased because of the way other kids dressed and violence started because of what kids wore and how expensive there clothes were.
Is uniforms neccesary? Constitution High started in 2006 was the year of difference in the School District of Philadelphia. This school was based upon the Constitution. Following it, giving students Freedom of speech and etc.
10th grade student Justin Bryant said" that this uniform policy is a waste of time. The school is supposed to be based upon the Constitution of the USA. Why can't we have the right to wear what we want to wear". Justin had others that felt the same way as he did. 10th grader Matthew Puttman basically felt the same way as Justin did on the count that he is a student attending Constitution High aswell.
But others felt differently about the uniform policy enforced by our new Dean of students Ms.Morosn. Student Tevora Johnson said that" it makes sense to have uniform on the count of people being teased because of the way they dress or the clothing line that you wear. So this uniform policy is a good thing if you look at it the way I do". While Tevora felt this way I interveiwed someone else to get an adult point of veiw on things. So i decided to interveiw Mr.Romero. Mr.Romero opened a whole new I on the topic because he feels very neutral about the whole situation. He said" that it doesn't matter what the students wear as long as they get there work done".
So you may still ask if the uniform policy should be kept or dismissed? That can only be answered by you. How do you feel?.......

Spring Transformation
Life is very precious. Its a terrible thing to just up and throw away. Have you ever wondered why people act the way they act, or do the things they do? On February 13 2009 and officer was gunned down at Broad& Olney while on duty.
I think of my life as the four seasons of the year. I would have to say that I am in the Spring/Summer of my life. I am energetic. I have a little Trump in me. And I'm getting my education.
Its starts off with my energy. Me being the young stallion that I am lol... I go to the YMCA or just stay home and workout when I'm just being plain old lazy. Not wanting to travel.
I'm also bout this paper out hear. Being as though I'm young and my time period right now is about fashion, I want to get a job so that I can keep my closet up to date. I'm also following in the foot steps of my father trying to start my own business. Right now I would have to say that getting money isn't an option. You need money to do everything now and days. Nothing in this world is free.
The last thing that sums up my journey to summer would have to be my education.''A mind is a terrible thing to waste.'' I'm attending a college prep. school which is preparing me for the college life. I also go to summer/after school programs that are linked to colleges, that can open new doors to success. I mean being successful isn't going to come easy. You have to be determined and work hard and I am willing to do both of them.
So this is my season relation. I think that I fit the description pretty well. Do you agree?

We Real Cool (response)
We Real Cool/ Is it looking a certain way? Is it acting a certain way? Or is it just being fake? What the hell is it!!!! We Real Cool was a very connective poem. It had a lot of meaning. When I read this poem I began to think about stories that my pop used to tell me a few years back.
One of the things that I liked about this poem(We Real Cool) would have to be the title. I think that its important because it sets the mood of the poem. This poem , was based on two people or a group of people wanting or trying to be cool. This poem is an eye catcher because it says something about being cool. As you read this poem you will begin to see how this title is engaged with the poem.
In addition rhythm plays a major role in this poem as well. Without rhythm the poem just doesn't catch my eye. I really love poems that have rhythm so I would have to say that is why I chose this poem. Rhythm to me is important but its not supposed to be in every poem. I just really love poems with rhythm.
My last reason for liking this poem is imagery. This poem is a very expressive poem to me. Every other line seems to paint a different picture. A lot of them paint pictures that i really can relate to. This poem points out drinking, chilling, then dying. I mean come on doesn't it paint a picture to you.
This poem was all of that. This poem opens eyes to not only me but to people that can relate to this scenario as well. I reall like this poem. if I could rate this poem on a 1-10 i would give it a strong 9. Not because its good but everything isn't perfect there's probaly something that I'm missing that another person might catch. That can make a good suggestion about it.

NHD REFLECTION
MY NHD TOPIC WAS ON AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED REGINALD LEWIS (1942-90)
This NHD was a little bit different than last year. This year it felt like we were a little rushed but overall i had fun. This year my partner helped me out more which took a whole lot of stress of of my shoulders. I felt as though my project was tuff. We did our project on Reginald Lewis nobody ever heard of him so thats what made our project very unique in its on way.
We chose to do him because he was very important person in the business world. Me and my partner felt as though we should do our project on someone who was not really heard, of but who was involved in the traits that we wanted to pick up in our life-time. Reginald was not only a businessman but a lawyer as well.
