HW#93

The book I am reading is called "The Sea of Monsters". Percy goes to his quest and Annabeth comes along. They are heading for the Bermuda triangle. It is located in the east coast in Florida. When the move out Clarisse, went already. No one knows if the Oracle said she can go and if the oracle gave her, her faith. So Annabeth and Percy go to Florida to save their friend Grover from a unknown creature.

If I were to be Percy I would go to save Grover. Grover was Percy's longest friend and if Grover was Percy he would do the same thing. If I were Annabeth I would come along as well because Grover is Annabeths friend they have been friends for a long time. Also if I were Clarisse I will join them (Percy and Annabeth) so I (Clarisse) can become friends with them.

Expository writing lesson #3: How do we cite sources?

1. How does the author show where his information came from?

The author puts names of people and companies. Companies like NASA and people like Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee gave information to the author about E.T. life outside of earth.

2. What other phrases does he author use?

Is there really life elsewhere in the universe? We've come a long way since 1600.

Will We Meet E.T.

1. No, I am among the 46 percent of Americans that don't believe in extraterrestrial life. One of the reasons why is because to me people who believe in E.T. are in pre K. If life would have existed they would have come here, because earth is the most populated planet in the universe. If E.T. was alive earth will see "invade me" because its populated. Earth would have been a good planet to invade. If you believe in aliens, you believe in the tooth fairy, and the Easter bunny.

2.It may have persisted because, maybe the found little weird things in planets, the water, and/or sky. Like one time I robot on Mars found a man shape guy making a fire. Also the the Bermuda triangle with weird readings and ships crashing down. Also lots of light like disc up in the sky at night and day. This are the few examples that people believe in E.T. while after all of this I don't believe.

3. The only thing that it may locate is humans that are arestornots and nothing else because nothing really lives in the universe.

1. Humans have found other planets and we all think that their are life forms on things planets. It's a belief we have very little evidence of aliens.

2. The parentheses help the writer because he/she doesn't have to write many paragraphs. The can joint paragraphs. Probably with cause and effect, or with facts than main idea.

3. So the reader can understand about the person and maybe, to understand what that person works for, or even what he/she does.

4. The writer didn't use words like envade, destroy, or coquer or anything that envolves about killing and evading humans. Words like "We come in Peace" really means were going to eat you later.

5. The writer includes both because not everybody believes in aliens.(like me) If the writer just writes about believe in aliens people who don't believe will not like the article. So on the other way around. To me that weight is the same both 50%.

The Last Orangutans

4. What details show that Galdikas is motivated by more than a scientific curiosity about orangutans?

It shows that she has rescued and rehabilitated displaced orangutans and traveled the world to help in their cause. She said it herself that she cared for orangutans like it was her own and treated them like human beings. She gave them food and never mistreated then orangutans. Galdikas is the type of person, human being that treats animals with respect, because 80 percent of people treat animals like garbage. Galdikas is one of those 20 percent that really does care for animals.

3. Why do you think the writer explained the plight of the orangutans before introducing Galdikas?

The writer explained the plight of the orangutans before introducing Galdikas. It showed that Galdikas liked to care for animals. She even studied orangutans for 27 years. She braved leopards, bears, cobras, pythons, leeches, and tropical diseases. She even rescued orangutans and traveled around the world to plead their cause.

5. One time I was play fighting with my dad (about 4 years back), and my dog thought I was really fighting, with my dad. So my dog (Prince) came up and growled my dad and I didn't hear him. Then the dog went on top of the bed a jumped and bite my leg. Thank GOD he wasn't sick or anything, but to make sure I put some alchool in the bite. my dad was made and the dog was punished. Now me and that dog hate each other. We have a rivalry and me and him are always looking for a way to hurt each other. Really bad! The point I'm trying to make is that animals do different things and some are good, while others are bad. Like me and that dog me and him are always fighting one time he bite me(a different time, a little one) and I got so mad I almost hit him with my electric guitar. Then one day (one of my favorite days) I got out of bed and when I was running out of my room I hit him. It was a accident but, I love this accident.
