Eric Walters Response. Part 2,3

Part 2: I think bullying is a big issue, i am 5'3  I'm in the 6Th grade there is this boy who gets bullied because of his attitude..and he is ''annoying''. I did bully him but i realized it was wrong, and my friends didn't.So i tell my friends to leave him alone but the teachers don't know i was defending him so he went to a teacher and ''ratted'' us all out and the teachers didn't believe i was defending him . So we all got warned and an in school suspension.Part 3:
Short story:
It was the 23 of May, it was a beautiful day for most, but not him. For him it was another horrifying day always having to watch his back just in case they were trying to pull something. The immature kids,or should i say the 'cool' kids.The miniature skate board he always had with him was his best friend.They didn't like him scence day 1. I didn't understand why, i went on to learn the he was possibly the most annoying person I've met. Oh sorry i forgot to introduce myself, I'm Walid I'm in the sixth grade i have 4 four best friends. ''They'' Being my friends.Anyways back to the story, ... he was possibly the most annoying kid I've met.Our dislike for him turned into hatred; most people wouldn't of talked to him, not us we had to go further.Bullying.Its not  like we just randomly hit him his attitude made it worse.I started to think to myself "is what I'm doing wrong or right"? I would try to make excuses but i knew deep down in my heart it was absolutely wrong.That's why i stopped my habits to hit,yell,insult,an give him dirty looks step by step. Till this day i still think he is annoying, but anyways i would tell my friends to ' chill out' or leave him alone when ever they bullied him. As you can see i realized it was wrong and they didn't. The kid had enough he was fed up and so were the teachers. He told the teachers that i wasn't part of it but they didn't care as far as they know i was lying.They judged me from when i did bully him. We all got in school suspensions. But anyway it doesn't matter what i say  the teachers are always perfect, right?

a.) Well anything can be used as inspiration but my poem was a metaphor for bullying and i used many metaphors for bullying and it was sort of like a mini-story.
b.)  If i were to write another poem i would write about poverty and how people are dying from hunger and sicknesses.

the king of the jungle
which would be me.
Many people say you and i are no different

I'm strong
I'm free
your a weak cub
I look into the eyes of this hopless pesent
as i like to call him

Professor Scott Visit

Due: Friday, Dec, 3^rd 2010                                                                    Walid Adam

                                                                                                                 R-8A

                                            .Visit from Professor Scott assignment.

         -What did you learn?

   I learned that first full steam ship was built in Canada (Montreal) by John Molson in the early 1800’s; John Molson also started his own brewery (Molson Canadian).

 

   I learned that every time a new sort of technology is invented, new technologies are needed to support it.

    I learned that approximately 1 million Irish people died because of  Gorta Mór (the Great Hunger) and many, many more people emigrated from Ireland to U.S.A.

     

 -Which technology interests you?

Automobiles: The first car ever made was invented as early as 1769. It used the power of steam. In 1806 the first ‘Internal combustion engine’ was invented using fuel. It was very useful because the only was to get from ‘A’ to ‘B’ was by walking, horse or boat.

-  How did it impact society?

     It was a huge impact to society in many different ways, for example; time. Time is one of the biggest reasons people use cars. In 2001, approximately 70% of Americans drove to work in cars. If there were no cars then the 70% of Americans would have had to walk, bike, fly, take the subway, bus or even ride a horse to work.

 Cars have advantages and disadvantages. Its disadvantages are laziness. People use cars to go across the street.

Another disadvantage is the cost of owning a car. People nowadays pay 15 thousand dollars or more to own a car. And you’d have to pay bout 30 dollars or more for a full tank of gas.

-Questions (for the inventor)

What made you want to invent the automobile?

Do you think your invention was ahead of your time?

       - Tie to the big ideas

(history is a collection of stories) People from the past didn’t have TVs, radio or the internet; all they had were the newspaper, books, and their own knowledge. So everything they knew came from reading.
