Yes I agree that you cant judge a book by its cover. Like if a book is plain simple or does not have a cover that you expected and then you turn down the book, what if so another student took it and had a better and easier grade because they had saw the Back and read it. So many things you could have done so easily just by looking the back. It will actually get to you afterwords then you will probably get over it because you have learned your lesson.

snowwballLizzy Speech xD

Comrades ! Hear me out, you don't know what you are doing. Napoleon is not the person you think he is. He isn't what is going to lead you to any good. He will only bring hell into your life. I speak to you because I care. If I did not, I wouldn't be standing here aside you. When was the last time you had the right to speak for yourself or your kind? Now I know you all for a long time, and you all know me. Why would in the first place I turn my back on my own comrades when I had almost sacrificed my life for you.

You all know Napoleon has killed our own kind. He is a murderer, he does not deserve a position like this. He shall be bought down, and not only me but all of us rise up. Hens, Horses, Pigs, Cats, Donkeys, EVERYONE IN THIS FARM! You all need me and I need you. I can make you all a promise that everyone in this farm will not worry about shelter or food.

Do you deserve to keep living like this ? How do you feel now ? You think he cares ? All Napoleon has ever cared about is himself. Now please listen I do this because I care for everyone here in this farm. You all deserve better than this. All those false facts Napoleon had tried to state about me is a bunch of lies. He has lied to you, but you can get him back.

Now comrades, if you wish to not proceed I don't force you to. But for those who see my point of view and want to come and stand up for those who aren't able to, please come forward. Now I will not give up on you. For I am Snowball, I will not give up on Old Major. I will not give up for those who need me. We will stand, and we shall fight !

My world would be called "The Revolution". The revolution deals with a lot of problems, drama, sadness, hell and happiness. You will be known as an outsider, but as you follow my rules you will become a known legend. In my world you will not disobey you will Lead those who need help in order to succeed. Not all of you will make it, most of you will fail most of you may prove me wrong. You are to respect our Rules and also those surrounding you.
My first commandment would be not to kill of your kind. You are to be forbidden to be in my world. Fury and Rage shall follow you everywhere you go. If you kill your kind that is not right because God made you from his own image. Your self as a person shall be ashamed of killing a human being. Maybe someone who at the end might have changed the world. You shall not kill your own kind.
My second commandment would be to attend school. If everyone attends school we would all be successful. We wouldn't be having all these problems with children not having a good scholarship. That way every child can have a successful future. Now we don't have any kids having problems trying to have a future. Having all the kids succeed in the world can make a better future. Knowing all these kids that have a good scholarship that may go to college know that can help the world even more.
My third commandment would be no Raping. You respect everyone just like you respect yourself. Nobody deserves that kind of aggression or treatment. A lot of people get very upset when they see things like this happen. Especially with women and children. It is such a disgust if person does these kind of things to someone who even deserves more than anything in the world. This includes all types of ages, gender, anything.
My fifth commandment shall be No drugs allowed. Having drugs can harm you and those around you. A lot of people who are in conditions and pregnant harm themselves. A lot of babies die because of the fact of Drugs. People die because they do drugs when they are in conditions. Many of those who actually use drug offer the use, then it goes on till someone is smart to stop. Then this actually does not only happen with adults but also children.
My sixth commandment would be to respect your parents. Also for parents to respect your children, alot of people dont respect each other & is time for a change. Therefore alot of people who change makes peace in the world. Alot might not so maybe they can leave and we can make a better world for those who deserve it. We can change the world, but before that we have to change our selves.
-Biggie Smalls x3
My last commandment, is peace in the world. Show no fear to anything stand up for what you believe in. Get along with everyone and lets make a change for those who look up to us. Those who look up to us a question out there is who looks up to you. Make the world believe your not just anybody. Make your self known in the world. Dont hide, Dont make yourself blend in but to stand out.

My Reflection 03/10/10

What I remember from the story, is that Elies foot got infected and was sent to the infirmary. There was a Jewish doctor that treated him. He felt safe, and he felt that there was hope for him. The Russians were coming so they had to evacuate the camp and start the march. The people in the infirmary were going to get killed, Elie did not want to die even though his foot had been operated. He had enough strength to get out of the bed and be with his father and walk the march.

Reflection & Quote & Word Worth Knowing

I remembered that they had called Elie. He was the one who had seen a girl half nude standing in front of the SS officers. When they had spot Elie outside looking, they warned him he will pay. When Elie started to go back to work they had called him, they told him to lay down on his belly. As he did, they took out a whip and whipped him twenty-five times. When it was all over, they told him if he told anyone about what he saw it will be 5 more. Elie nodded and went back to work. I felt as if those people never deserved that place as an officer. I felt disappointed and is a disgrace to everyone. Everyone in that place was confined with no freewill.

"All hearts trembled, but mostly with envy"

Everyone is scared but they have so much hate to the officers and the way they live.

Confinement - to hold within a location.

My weekend

My weekend was okay. Same as usual, but a few new things. Saturday morning came and my brother and I were in the living room. My mom had walked in and told us she had good new's. We were assured that we knew she was pregnant but it wasn't just that she was going to be pregnant with two babies. My mouth dropped, I yelled "TWO !" and we were all happy.

That same saturday we had practice but barely anybody showed because they were busy. My partner was at a retreat and my other friend was sick, so it was just three people. Sunday came and as usual nothing. Just some video games and sleep.

My superpower would be most likely superhuman. I would never die and I am very fast, I read people's minds and I can turn into your worst nightmare or your favorite dream. I would like this power because I would know who my true friends would be and have my closest enemies coming towards me. I would be very fast because no one would catch up to me and ill be all the above. I can turn into your worst nightmare as if you will fear me and I can be your favorite dream and you will turn out to fall in love with me. It would be as if I had immortality . . . and I come to think of it would I really want this ? . . . but i'll be stronger than anything, nothing can hurt me, nothing can touch me, nothing at all can bring me down. I would have the capability to touch the sky. Thats my Superpower.
