I'm back from first quarter blogs. I got a very good grade for my blogs. My grade was a 95 out of 100. I only missed two points. That's actually really good. I thought I got a worst grade than that. It said i explained the book very well. My pictures, music, and paragraphs provided an "in depth explanation" of my book. I also did a "Great Job!!!" on my spelling and grammar. The only thing I did wrong was i missed a short story element in my elements blog. Overall on the blog i did well. On my Animoto video I got a 27 out of 30. I only missed three points. I guess thats okay. It's because i got a 4 out of 6 on one of the categories. It was the one on whether i made the students want to read the book. I guess i could've done better on that. Other than that I'm happy with the grade I got.
I still feel the same as I did the first time I talked about blogging. It's not really my thing. I think it's kind of a waste of time. Also, not a lot of people are going to read this anyway. Oh well, this is for grade. I need to do it for my grade because I need to bring it up. Back on topic, my thoughts haven't really changed on the subject.
I'm blogging again for my second quarter grade. We are reading another book called King of the Mild Frontier by Chris Crutcher. It is an autobiography. He appearantly knows the answer to a lot of strange question. It is mostly about his life as a boy. He is described as a "date-less, broken-toothed,
God-fearing dweeb". I can assume by the descriptions and the "dweeb" at the end, he was not the coolest kid around. That makes me wonder why the title is "King" of the Mild Frontier. I haven't read the book yet. I'm suppose to read a few pages but I didn't...yet. I looked forward to reading about how he was treating and what he did in his spare time. I wonder this because on the back of the book he knows the answers to the very wierd questions. I guess I will see when we read.

Elements...
Characters:
My main character is Thomas. He is the newest member of the Glade. All attention seems to be on him. The only person against him is Gally. Gally seems to know Thomas from somewhere but doesn't know where. He instist that Thomas is the bad guy. Chuck, Thomas' new friend, came right before Thomas did. Minho, the leader of the runners, is also a friend of Thomas. Thomas saved him and Alby, head of all of the Glade, from the maze.
Setting:
The setting of this story is in the middle of a giant, stone maze.
Point of View:
The story is in Thomas' point of view. He is a protagonist. He is trying to help all the other boys figure out how to get out of the maze.
Conflict:
The conflict is man vs. man. In many ways. Thomas has to deal with Gally all the time because he thinks Thomas is the bad guy. Thomas and all the other boys have to deal with the people who sent them there.

Comments :D
These are the things I said in classmate's blogs:
Atley Green: The pictures were cool. They really went with you descriptions underneath. You made it seem like a really good book. I might actually try to read it. I think you described the book very well. You make me wonder what goes on in the book.
Kary Ostos: It was nice to read about you. I know why you're making a blog now. I think your English teacher is doing a good job with this assignment. It teaches you how to blog in the process. It seems like you're putting a lot of effert into it. Keep up the good work.
Kenzie Tyler: You have a nice blog. Your title "A girl, a beast, and a bad deal" was a really good title idea. I look forward to seeing your future post. You have a very creative way of doing your blog. Keep up the good work. Plus, I liked your pictures.
