Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day I went shopping with my sister. I also went to the park with my little brother, while he was playing basketball, I read a book. Most of the day on Saturday I was  reading, writing and  watching Netflix. I was reading Pride and Prejudice. I watched various movies with my sister while she was hogging all the popcorn.  I also went to this small ice cream shop after the park, i would like to say that i liked the ice cream but i didn’t eat. I went to the mall with my sister because she was looking for a dress. She’s graduating pretty soon and she needed my advice.  On Sunday I went to church and then went back home. On Monday i spent my day writing while listening to music. I also spent Monday planning my friend's birthday, which is actually next Monday. I went for a walk to let stress out. While I went walking I saw a cute little puppy. The puppy followed me home, and I fed it. But after a while it left.

Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving week was very interesting. Every family had to bring some type of food or dessert. My family was required to make ham like every year. The reunion was held at one of my close aunt’s house, where all our family ate, talked, and enjoyed each other's company. But most of the times I stayed home with my two siblings. We usually just cleaned the house and then I would cook for all of us and just lay down and watch movies, mostly comedies. Or i would go sit by my reading window with a book in my hand or draw when I felt like I needed to get my stress out. I would also talk to my friends for a while and then go to bed and watch TV. I also ate a lot of food over this week, for Thanksgiving i ate pasta and potato salad. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I went to the mall shopping. I went to one of my favorites stores Abercrombie and Fitch. I also went to Paris Baguette and bought macaroons of all types of colors and flavors.

  

Gainsville Tornadoes Reflection

I think that it was very generous for that the opposing team told the fans to cheer for the other team. It was really generous, considering that no one was cheering for their team. They wanted the other team to feel motivated, and these two boys made that happen. It was very thoughtful of them to ask their own fans to cheer for the other team so that the other team can feel motivated. The other team was very happy to here that almost everyone was cheering for them. They were thankful because of the two boys that helped them feel motivated. They said that it was something that they will never forget because it was something unexpected.

Columbus Day

Columbus Day

Christopher Columbus was an explorer and navigator, he was the son of a wool merchant. He was born in Genoa in about 1951, when he was a teenager he got a job on a merchant ship. Christopher Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498, and 1502. He was determined to find a water route west from Europe and Asia. On August 3, 1492, Columbus and his crew sailed on three ships: The Nina, The Pinta, and The Santa Maria. In May 1498 Christopher was arrested  when he returned to Hispaniola, the colonists had staged a bloody revolt against his two brothers: Bartolomeo and Diego. It was so bad that Spanish authorities had to send a new governor in to take over. In 1502 Columbus had been cleared of the serious charges and went to the Spanish King to pay one last trip, the king agreed, and later when Columbus returned he died in 1506. Columbus Day is the day we celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus and his arrival in the Americas October 12, 1492. The landing day is celebrated in the United States, as the Dia de la Hispanidad. Many Italian Americans celebrate this day as their heritage.

Reflection: I think this day is an important day but also a day full of sorrow because of the way African Americans. These people were treated as slaves, they were misjudged and mistreated.

911 Memorials

            

           On September 11, 2001,  Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and crashed them into the Twin Towers. The third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C., the fourth plane crashed on a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in an extensive deaths and destruction.  Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York  City and Washington D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. The crash on the north tower left a burning, gaping hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper in resulting killing instantly hundreds and hundreds of people and trapping hundreds of people on higher floors which appeared to be an accident at first. Eighteen minutes later a second airplane appeared out of the sky and headed straight toward the south tower and sliced near the 60th floor. The horror in New York took a turn for the worst when the south tower collapsed sending dust and smoke in its wake.   

Reflection: My thoughts about this horrible event are what kind of people live and know what they have done. How can they live knowing they killed hundreds of innocent people and injured more people. If you ask me I would say that no matter how bad a mistake a person does it does not give you the right to kill innocent people just  because you are angry, or upset with the world. This event is truly terrifying if you think about it, nothing less if you imagine all those people that were a witness of this. There are people in the world that are cruel and don't simply care.Now if you were to go back a few moments and think about this, these people had no idea what was going on and all of a sudden something horrible and unimaginable happens.
