Unstoppable

            People all over the world loves playing sports, people would eat, sleep, play sports and repeat. They would do anything to get to play a sport, that's what a boy did to play football again. The book that I read was "Unstoppable" by Tim Green. This book is about a boy name Harrison who his parents abonded him because they weren't ready to take care of a child so they put him in a orphanage and he got adopted by these two old couple who were so mean to him and the other kids they have adopted. He lived with them for 5 years and then then his dad died. His mom didn't want to take care of them anymore so she put them back in an orphanage. Harrison was a bad kid while living with the parents who adopted him. They weren't sure if he would be eligable to be adopted for how bad he acted. Then a police officer came towards him and she had a daughter who was looking for adopting a child so her and her husband choose him.
             He got confrontable with his new parents, they were nice, respectful, and caring. Her husband (Coach) was a coach for a football team and told him if he wanted to play football. So he tried it out and he was unstoppable. He join the team and the team kept winning games week by week. He keeps recalling when he use to always watch Monday Night Football .Then they made it to the championship. He found that someone he is related to him dies. He's been having pain and they took then to the doctors . They told him he had cancer and lost his leg. He was facing challenges and doesn't want to give up of living his dreams. He wants to keep on going to play football again.

Are The Bulls Going To Win A Championship This Year?

               This year Bulls have been getting the upset win, over the Cavaliers, Celtics, and many more. There not a favorite to win this year championship but it could happen. Last Night (April, 16, 2017) was the first day of the playoff and they took the win (106-102). They need 3 more games to win to go to the next round in the playoff. There's a chance they could also lose because they have been in the playoffs from (2005-2017) and they have been in the playoffs 11 times and out of that 11 times they had won the first game but then lose that round 5 more time this century. Bulls have won 6 championship and could be there 7 this year.
         In this years Playoffs the teams that are in it are Golden State Warriors, PortLand Trails Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunders, San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzles, Indiana Pacers, Clevand Cavilers, Toranto Raptors Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and The Chicago Bulls. Bulls are the lowing seed in the playoffs and there not favorites to win this year. You never know what could happen, they could get the upset win. The Bulls have to rely on themselves and their teammates to win the upcoming games. This is just the beginning of the playoffs so anything could happen.

"Life Is Beautiful"

        Based on the movie and the poem we haved read, it relates to each other because it tells different point of views of how it started and the situations that were happening inside and outside the camps. Every peom or movie has this special connections where it makes people feel sorry for them and wish they could do something about it but they can't because it already happen. There are so many poems and movies about the holocaust because so many people were involed in it and most of them died and only a few lived today to tell us the story for nobody can forget about it. The difference about the movie and the poem is that it tells different story, some had amazing stories and some had stories that were brutal. Situations were happening all over the world and people were upstanders to fight for what's right.
                                The holocaust was a horriable event that nobody wants to remember, but we could remember the good things people did to stop this tragedy. The movie didn't start out as sad as it was in the end. It was funny and Explicit. it was interesting how people lived during that time even if they were rich or poor. If you lookin different point of views you can see how people lived. This movie is very serious because it's involved during the holocaust and that's an event that is really important.
                   The movie is called "Life Is Beautiful for a reason, that reason is because life is beautiful. We should enjoy and be thankful of what we have because during that time it was a brutle event but the main character never saw life as bad he still lived a happy life. One example is when he is in the camps his son was feeling uncomfortable but he still found a way to make him feel better even though the camps were horrible.

Concert In The Old School Garret



                  Concert in The Old School Garret Poem

White fingers of the sexton sleep heavy upon us.
Half a century
Since anyone as much as touched this piano.
Let it sing again
As it was made to yesterday.

Phantom hands which strike softly or which thunder.
The forhead of this man heavy as the heavens before it rains.

And the springs,
Under the weight of excitement, forgot to squeak.
Half a century it is since anyone as much as touched this piano.

Our good friend, Time,
Sucked each figure empty like a honeybee which has lived long enough and drunk enough honey so that now it can dry out in the sun somewhere.

Under the closed eyes, another person sits
Under the closed eyes, he seeks among the keys
As among the vein through which the blood flowed softly
When you kiss them with a knife and put a song to it

And this man yesterday cut all the veins,
Opening all the organ's stops,
Paid all the birds to sing, 
To sing

Even though the harsh fingers of the sexton sleep heavy upon us.

Bent in his manners of death, you are like Beethoven 

Your forehead was as heavy as the heavens before it rains.

Second Impact

The book I read was called "Second Impact" by David Klass. This book is about getting a second chance with life, this kid Name Jerry who was playing football in college and one day he went to a party and he drank to much and when he left he crash and injured himself and killing a cheerleader.  He got lock up for a few months and he Change his life around instantly, soon later he got out and had a real hard time getting back with his normal life, it took him a few months to get his act together and his team made it to the playoffs. He had his ups and downs while getting in the top of the league.
When he made it to the championship it was hard for him because he caught the flew but that didn't stop him from playing because coaches from colleges were evaluating him and his team.

I really injoyed this book because there was a bunch of twist and turns in his life he still manage to control. This book is trying to tell to the readers that were all are going to have a second chance but when we get that chance there are going to be obstacles were going to have to get three. I like how it wasn't like a normal book with the narrator telling it in thrid person it's a blog post. For every opportunity there's is for you just take it and see where it leads you.

Propaganda

This picture is trying to say that Jews are bad, mean, and angry. Whoever made this picture was sending a message to other people other than Jews that there not Reliable and you should spend time with them. This effect the Jews because they will probably believe them and not talk to Jews, Treat them poorly, or even threaten to kill them. You should not listen to what other people says, you can't believe people until you see it yourself. It's others people's opinion and don't believe what others say because it could be false.

Something I Regret

Every person regrets something, it could be something not important or something personal but it's still something people regret. Something I regret is quitting football. I was ready to play football on the first day I love it but not the drills, it was awful and I was ready to give up so I did. Ever since then my family would make fun of me and my cousin for quitting football and since then I would just ignore it. It got to the point where it went over the limit and I decided to do something about it. I decided instead of ignoring it I decided to Develop my skills to join football again when I go to high school. They don't believe me and say "I'm gonna quit again". That's not going to happen, this time I going to prove them wrongs and for I could not  regret it for the rest of my life.
