Kite Runner 1st part


My favorite character for the novel so far is Baba Amir's father because Baba caught my attention he is so hardheaded he has an illness and he is going to die pretty soon if he doesn't get the help he needs. Although, Baba is sick he appreciates his son hospitality. The character I most hate is Assef because he is a bully and is one of the boy's who rapes Hassan. I think the largest theme of the book is how, Amir is living his life from Pashtun to the United States and the girl he likes and meets Saraya.

Mammal Captivity

I think mammals should not be kept in captivity because they are creatures thet belong in the oceans and are free to be everywhere they want to be. Mammals should not be kept in tanks where their isn't alot of space to swim in, they should be swimming in the deep blue oceans with other marine animals.





  1. First of all animals are free to be in their natural habitat, grow developing skills as animals, and funtion as wildlife species.

  2. Second of all animals are not aquiring nor developing in their natural habits, they are learning from humans not animals.
  3. Third of all I think the best way to learn about mammals is to see them in their natural habitat.

In conclusion I think mammals should be living in their wildlife habitats. Peolpe who want to learn about them should take a tour in their natural habitats and observe them there.

Rihanna Interview with Diane Sawyer

I think Rihanna was brave and intelligent first of all Rihanna was brave because she stood up as an example for herself and many young and mature woman. Rihanna decided she was not going to let herself be battered by any man and she stood as an example world wide. Second Rihanna was intelligent because she left Cris Brown for beating her up and causing her pain. Rihanna did not let love blind her. Rihanna did the right thing to leave Cris Brown.

Domestic ViolenceRally

I think controlling and jealousy affects teenage women because it is not healthy for both young women could too become the abuser. I had a few of these experiences like controlling and jealousy, but I talked sraight up and said if it continued it would be better for us not to be together no more. The advice I would give to other girls would be it is not necessary to go through this

Reflection on the DV Rally

  1. I learned there are many places and hotlines you could go or call to get help.
  2. I also learned nobody has the right to control you and abuse you for any reason.
  3. My favorite booth was were the ladies asked us what every abuse word means.
  4. I would include more people talking on stage about DV awareness.

Tears of A Tiger

I liked this book and I also thought it was sad because it was about teenagers who were celebrating the winning of a game. The three friends were drinking the fourth wasn't but the driver named Andy was driving drunk and crashed. The three friends got out of the car but the other was trapped inside with no way out. They tried to rescue him but they couldn't becaude the door wouldn't budge open. The car burned so did the trapped teenager named Robbie Washington he died that night. Andy couldn't cope with the death of his friend Robbie, Andy would go to therapy but he just couldn't live with the death of his friend. Andy ended up killing himself by shooting himself with the gun his parents owned. I think this book would be inspiring to anyone who reads it. This book was about not to drink and drive and to think about everybody's life not just your self.
