This week we read a weird love story called twelfth night. It was really fun playing the characters roles and seeing them get played. I had the opportunity to play February 14, and I personally liked reading the script because i'm not a very good actor. This week I got my second book called Blue Rage Black Redemption and it's the story of the Crips Co-founder. I started reading it and so far I really like it.

This week I finished reading my book and I was really glad to have read the story of Ponyboy. This story taught me many things about friendship and family. This week I also wrote an essay about the book but it was actually more like a really long blog post. We also read some stories about love and saw some clips. Oh, and stephanie ordered the next book and I am hoping it is as good as The Outsiders.

This week was very interesting because we actually did a lot of amazing stuff. We had the wonderful opportunity to go see a play and I loved it. I had a lot of fun watching that emma play. This week I also got some books from Marisol's mom about gang violence and what affects they can cause. One interesting thing was that the authors from the kids books were written by the same author that we are reading another book from, Tookie Williams.

Gladly this week I have kept reading my book, The outsiders. I really enjoy reading this book and kind of makes me want to become a greaser. It is really interesting because they just killed someone and im really eager to find out what is going to happen next. Also, this week I send out a letter to marisol's mom so we can interview her and hopefully she says yes. I've also been working on the pink sheet.

This week we were given a checklist of all the work that needed to be done by the time the week was over and I found it really interesting. This week I also figured out who the persons i'm going to be interviewing about my topic and I am glad to say that I am really looking forward to these meetings. I also got the book, The Outsiders and I really like it so far.

This week me and my partner miguel decided that we want to study gang violence and how a gang influences one to do certain things. We went about this question because we wanted to read a book named The outsiders. This book described a great friendship between a group named the greasers and all the things that they do for their greaser family.

This week we did alot of difficult but very interesting readings. We read the story of beowulf and how that impacted the english language. The poem of Beowulf is a very interesting and gory reading because it implies alot of killing. We also learned about anglo saxons and what that is. We saw a video about the old english language and compared on how much the english language has developed and progressed under time.
