In the story Of Mice and Men there are a lot of Human Predators. The one that stuck out to me was Curley’s Wife. I say this because she always trying to militate someone. When Lennie broke Curley’s hand Curley’s wife tried to find out who did it so she can tell everyone about it. She used Lennie because he is slow to find out things and to get him into trouble. She also uses George; she flirts with him and does sexy things around him so he can get into trouble.
“Look in to my eyes deeper, deeper.” When Lennie broke Curley’s hand Curley’s Wife was all up in Lennie and George face to see if she could get him to tell the true. When She asked George and he said it got court in a machine she turned and asked Lennie because she know that he was going to slip up.
She also is the type of person that takes advantage of people that are not that bright because before she died Lennie told her that he was not suppose to talk to her and she told him that George would never find out. That she would not get into any trouble if he was to talk to her, but she lied cause he did eat into trouble because he killed her and George had to kill him

Service Learning
Through service learning I have learned the following about myself: That I would not like to work in a garden when I grow up that some times it can be fun but other times it can be boring. I only like when we start planting I don’t like it when we have to work up to planting. I have learned that I am impasent. That I only went to do things before I hear how it is done.
Motifes ( grade this)
“We ride together we die together bad boy’s for life”(Bad Boys). These are words of brother hood. In Steinbeck book of Mice and Men has a strong focus of the power of brother hood. In the story guy’s play together, protect each other, and unite together to kill together.
Must in the morning, smoke in the evening, and anger at night this is the power of brother hood. From morning to night these men work to have the American Dream. Though out the book the main game that is played is cards. For example when Carlson wanted to kill Candy’s dog everyone was around the card table. When Carlson took Candy’s dog out to shoot him George asked the guy’s “Anybody like to play a little Euchre?”. When the guy’s just want time to fly past or have a talk they do it in a game of Euchre.
“Get him, Lennie. Don’t let him do it.” George was on his feet yelling. George put out his hand and grabbed Slim. “ Wait a minute,” “ Get I’m, Lennie...!” Curley’s fist was swinging when Lennie reached for it. The next minute Curley was flopping like a fish on a line, and his closed fist was lost in Lennie’s big hand. George ran down the room. “Let go of him, Lennie. Let go.” Lennie watched in terror the flopping little man whom he held. George slapped him in the face again and again, and still Lennie held on to the closed fist. George shouted over and over, “Let his hand go, Lennie. Let him go. Slim help me while the guy still has a hand….” Lennie let him go and fell to the floor. Slim and Carlson ran over to Curly, Slim put his head up and said “ he needs a doctor”. Slim knelt down beside Curley. “ You got your senses in your hand enough to listen?” Curley nodded. “Well you listen, “I think you got your hand caught in a machine. If you don’t tell anybody what happened, we ain’t going to. But you jus’ tell and try and get this guy canned and we’ll tell everybody, and then will you get the laugh.” “ I won’t tell”, said Curley. He avoided looking at Lennie.
Protect and defend, in this part of the story Slim (the leader of the band of brothers) play’s a two sided man, he is protecting Curly from Lennie, so Lennie wont kill Curly, and Lennie from Curly before Curly gets him caned. George is also showing protection for Lennie, because when Curly first started beating on Lennie he told Slim not to interfere in their fight. He was showing Lennie that he should not let people beat on him that he need to protect him self from the world. It was almost like he was showing him that he is not always going to be there to protect him so he needs to learn to protect him self from the world.
Death is the worst way to have to come together in a brotherhood. When Lennie killed Curly’s wife the men joined together to go find Lennie and kill him. George could not just stand there and let them kill Lennie. So he ran off into the woods to find Lennie and kill him before the other men found him. When George killed Lennie his heart broke. He sat stiffly on the bank and looked at his right hand that had thrown the gun away. The group burst into the clearing, and Curly was ahead. He saw Lennie lying on the sand. “ Got him, by God.” He went over and looked down at Lennie, and then he looked back at George. “ Right in the back of the head,” he said softly. Slim came directly to George and sat down beside him, sat very close to him. “ Never you mind,” said Slim. “ A guy got to sometimes.”
Brotherhood is one of the most powerful things you could have with friends. To know that they will always be there for you. Kill with you, play with you, and protect you. If you were to read Of Mice and Men you will learn what true friends are what they will do for you, how they should treat you. If your friends are like Candy and Slim they are true friends. If they are like Carlson and Curly they are not true friends because true friends would never hurt you. They would never went to pick on you because you are slower than others.

service Learning
1. What have I learned about our group’s topic? I have learned a lot like that my group needs to be broken up into garden group and beautification. I think this because our group is to big and if we break up into a smaller group then we can get more accomplished. I also learned that my group has lots of great idea’s
2. What have I learned about myself through service learning? I learned that I do not like working with people who don’t do anything in a group or don’t care about their grade. That when grades go in and they have an F and they run back to the teacher and ask why when they know that only thing they did all service learning is nothing. I also learned that service learning could be fun if you pay attention and do what your told.
3. If I were in charge of this group I would change? The group should be broken down and we should come to the computer lab and look up things and get or ideas together before we go out and try to start doing things. I say this because then we would be prepared to do our jobs as a garden group and beautification group.

Of Mice and Men Symbolism
Stein Beck book of Mice and Men had lots of symbols. The best symbol is Lennie’s puppy. His puppy symbolizes dream, joy, and new begging.
Lennie’s puppy symbolizes dreams, Lennie and George had a dream of having a little house, and couple of acres. A cow, some pigs, and ‘live off the fattest lands’. They were going to have a big vegetable patch, rabbit hutch, and chickens. Lennie would tin the rabbit’s and feed them alfalfa.
Joy was also a symbol of Lennie’s puppy. A puppy is so fun to play with. You can spend time with it, a puppy can listen to all of your problems. A puppy is a great friend, you could never stay mad when you see one. The puppy also brings joy to Lennie and George because ‘George said if Lennie don’t hurt the puppy then he could tin the rabbits”, when they get there own farm. They would be on their own. Where they would live off the fattest lands. They would not have to sleep in no buck house. They would have there own room’s to there self’s. George would tell Lennie “If we don’t like a guy we could tell him to ‘Get the Hell out”. It’d be our own, and nobody could can us. If a friend comes over, why we’d have an extra bunk, and we’d say, “Why don’t you spend the night”? And by God he would.
New beginning is the last symbol of the puppy. When Carlson wants to shoot Candy’s old dog and say’s that he can replace it with one of Slims puppies. When Carlson kills Candy’s old dog it was like shattering his old dreams. The puppy is like building up to Candy’s new future with Lennie and George, and their new farm.
In conclusion the story of Mice and Men showed lots of symbolism. The one that stuck out the most was Lennie’s puppy, because it show’s dreams, joy, and new beginning.

May 1st
Yesterday the garden group want outside for a walk to the Constitution Center to see what were we could put our plants down and what was already there. We learned that some spots in the area had spots that could not grow things and we could not put it there because most likely or plants would not grow there. Our other problems were that they have pipes under the ground that would inter fear with the gardening. At the end of the trip we got together and shared our ideas for the garden.
What we need to improve: I think that we did not pay attention as much as we should have and that we should have been put into small groups and had area’s that we should have been looking at and before our time was up we should have got together at the park to talk about what our group came up with. I think that we would have done more work and got more things covered.
What I think we could do next week: We should get together and talk about what we got done and what we could do to improve the area. We can also talk about or jobs and what we should be doing so we can keep or group in order.

What was successful and useful about the meeting? I think that it was when we took a walk around the school and looked around to see what we need to improve in our school.

What needs to be worked on for the coming weeks? We need to pick jobs so we can get everything together and be papered for our up coming meetings.
What role will you play in the group/ I would like to be the runner. I would like to run things to different places

Empire of the Sun
The movie Empire of the Sun was a great movie. That me and my class mates were able to see in our English class. The movie showed lots of things but the one thing that stuck out the most was the value of family.
Jamie was a wealth British boy who lived in China with his mother and father. When he is separated from his parents because of the war he goes home and try to continue his old life. When that does not work he goes out and try’s to find help. That when he meets a man name Basie who becomes like a father to him. When Basie and Jamie are captured and taken to Soo Chow confinement camp, Jamie attempts to reconstruct his former life by building a family with everyone. He lives with the people at the camp.
Jamie lives with the British but when he does a task for the American’s he is able to move in with Basie and the other American’s but when the American’s turn there back on Jamie and leaves him he goes back to the British who welcomes him back with open arms as if he were one of there kids.
Everyone helped each other out so they could survive. The doctor helped Jamie continue his education, Jamie helps the older people that can not get there own food, he also help people get things that they need. At the end of the movie when the war is all over and Jamie can reunite with his parents he builds another family bound all over again with his mother and father.
In the story the value of family means a lot the Jamie as you can tell. From the doctor helping him, to him helping others, to the British helping him built another family.

April 21-25
Thursday meeting was based on ideas we had some great ideas
What we did: We want on a walking tore of the school and tried to find out what we could do to make the school more beautiful. The one good idea that we talked about was the glass case that should be in our school to show off all the awards that students and teachers got that has do with our school for example: NHD meddles, Teachers awards, ect. We think that this should go on the wall in the lobby when you first come in. Our other ideas were that we should make a little sitting area outside of our school for people to sit down and enjoy there free time in the morning but most of all to make the school look even more beautiful outside. Our last idea was a wall of pictures that showed the first and second graduation class to show who we were and how we grow over the years. The garden group and the school beautician made up these ideas.
What questions do you still have about your mission and role in your group? When are we going to be able to put these plain in action?
I would like to do the job of Researcher because that was my job last year and I think that I would be a great person for this job. I also think that because I love to look up things and I am a very reliable person. I would love to do this job.

Race
Two hundred and twenty years ago, a group of men gathered of men gathered. They wrote a document about the sin of slavery. Words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights.

Bladder Cancer
Specific genetic mutations may account for nearly one-third of all bladder cancers.The bladder is an organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine after it is released from the kidneys until it is passed out of the body. Bladder cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer in the United States and causes approximately 13,000 deaths annually. Bladder cancer occurs predominantly in elderly men and less frequently in women and younger men.As knowledge regarding the practical application of genetics moves forward in the medical arena, the identification of specific genetic mutations that place an individual at a higher risk of a specific cancer may allow for appropriate screening.

My thoughts on school religion I don’t feel any type of way about other peoples religion. I only don’t like it when people say that some people’s religion is not true. When people don’t accept others peoples religion. Because of there belief. My mother is Muslim and my father is to but my father was not raised in a Muslim religion. So when I go to my dad’s side of the family they try and make us eat pork because they don’t accept my families chose. In my household we are able to choose what we wish to believe in. Some times in school when some students talk about god they make it seem like any other god is not true. When we had to go in the Jews museum some people would not go into the pray hall because they were Muslim and the teachers made it a big deal and took points off of there grades. I do not think that it is right because it was against there religion and I don’t feel that they respected it. That is what I think about this subject.
