As some of you know the 3DS just came out last Sunday and maybe you were wondering if you were thinking if it was worth hype. Well yesterday I went to Toys R Us and since it was the 1st day in stores they let you try it. I didn't think it would work but the 3D really worked. It has a 3D slide on the side which works to. Lucky with the slide you can turn it all the way off, because I wouldn't have the 3D on for more than 20 minutes because it will really hurt your eyes.
It was really cool. Also it came with 6 cards, 5 of them which are characters cards which if you aim the camera at them 3D models come out of the cards and you can a bunch of different scenes with them. The last card is a game card it is where you aim the camera at the card and a 3D dragon pops out of the card and you shoot it with arrows. So far, from what I have seen I think it is worth the hype.

Japan Tsunami
As you know a huge earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. Also America is helping them a lot, but the question is that should America even be helping since we are in a 14 trillion dollar debt. I think that America should help. Don't give to much money, because other countries can help to. Pus if our country gets hit with something like this Japan can help us.

To Kill A Mocking Bird 3/17/11
Author’s Note: This is a response to my book I am reading To Kill A Mocking Bird. I am trying to work on adding Opinion, Sentence Structure, and organizing paragraphs. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.
If you were a tom girl and your Aunt wants you to be more lady-like. Would you try or would you be like “NO way”. It looks like Scout is trying but it is not going to work.
First, Scout or Jean Louise is trying to be more lady-like, because her Aunt wants her to be more of a lady. Something to start with is that she could tell everyone that she doesn’t want to be called Scout and be called Jean Louise. It seems she doesn’t really want to become more lady-like, but she is doing this for her Aunt.
I am pretty sure that this is just for her Aunt, but what really surprised me when Jem suggested to take sewing lessons, Scout say no, but then she goes with her Aunt to go see the other ladies. This seems like a time where at first you say "oh I hate that" and then you try it again then you are like "this isn't that bad". It seemed like she had no intention of being more lady-like, but then she didn't really mind it. It kind reminds me of this video game I got at first I thought it was the stupidest game ever. Later that week I played it again and it became one of my favorite games.
She seems like she is really trying. But she has always been more of a Tom-Boy and that is the way she knows how to live. She going to get really close, but in the end she is going to stay the ways she is.

To Kill A Mocking Bird
Would you like to be a lawyer? One in the 1950's and there is still segregation. It would be so cool to go to one of Atticus's session in the court and learn some techniques that he uses.
When Atticus works he find these great ways to get people to say or do thing that make kind of obvious that the witnesses and others on their side are lying. While I was reading the chapter I was thinking how stupid Atticus was making Mayella look, because he kept asking her the same questions, but she would answer them differently everytime.
I think Atticus really knows what he is doing. Though sometimes I think he didn't know what to say, but maybe he does that to make the witness or the plaintiff relax, but then he comes in for the kill. With his techniques I think Atticus will win this case.

Wisconsin Budget Battle
For the new bill that is being passed I think that the Democrats couldn't have really anything. In the Senate you have to have at least 60% of the Senators there. Which without Democrats they don't have that, but if the bill has nothing to do with finance, then they can vote on it. So that made the Democrats rush back to Wisconsin. But the main part of the bill is going to get signed tonight.

The Hunger Games
Author’s Note: This piece is about a major decisions the main character made during my book. In this piece I am trying to use an academic voice. I am trying to work a stronger thesis and vocabulary. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.
What would you do if it was just down to you and one other tribute from your district, only one person could win and the other would die and you are fake in love with him/her, but still cared about that person? Katniss was put in that exact position. What Katniss does is one of the best decisions ever.
Breaking News! There is a new rule in the Hunger Games. As we all know the Hunger Games only allows one person to win, but in the middle of these games the gamemakers made a new rule that 2 people could win as long as they were from the same district. So Katniss sets out to find Peeta. That would be the first thing I would think when I heard the new rule, even if my other district tribute was badly injured like Peeta.
The new rule of letting 2 people win has changed again. In the end it was down to Katniss and Peeta vs. Cato, Cato is the boy from district 2. After Katniss kills Cato they hear that the rules changed back to the original way and only one person could live. Peeta offered to die so Katniss could win but, Katniss didn’t want that. Katniss had poisoness berries that would kill the second that they would get into your throat. Katniss gives one to Peeta and then they would both commit suicide, which seemed really stupid to me at first because I didn’t know their plan.
What I didn't see is that they were trying to outsmart the Gamemakers. Right before they ate the berries the gamemakers stopped them and let them both win, because otherwise there would be no winner. Then I figured out that the gamemakers had to let them both win so that there would be a winner.

In the end they both won and lived happily ever after. Wrong! The capitol is very mad at Katniss’s stunt and that continues into the next book, Catching Fire. But what I think the author wants you to think about is how the right decisions is an easy decision. Just like how Katniss made the decision about the berries really fast and easy.

Bengal Tigers
Author’s Note
In this piece I am working on Vocabulary, a stronger thesis, and organizing my paragraphs better. If you think you can make a suggestion please write a comment. I would love some feedback.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be another animal? Would you live longer or shorter? If you could pick an animal to be for one day what would you be? I would be a Bengal Tiger and here’s why.
The Bengal Tiger, one of the top animals on the food chain. Though the Bengal tiger is the most common tiger it is still endangered. This endangered animal lives in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and in Bhutan. There are 1,411 tigers in India, 200 in Bangladesh, 155 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan, so altogether there are around 1,840 left in the world.
With 1,840 left each tiger has its own territory. Tigers are very solitary animals, but do mate. When the tiger mate the father has no part in raising the kid. The goes away and the Mother has to take care of the cub.
Usually the male is around 290 cm long from head to tail and weighs around 518 pounds. The females are usually around 250 cm long from head to tail and weighs around 308 pounds. They live till 10-15 in the wild and they live till 20 in captivity Their roars can be heard from almost 2 miles away!
Would you want to be a Bengal Tiger now? I still would, because you pee to mark your territory. Just kidding. But still it would be a great experience.
