The books are a series about a girl that is a ordinary 16 year old girl, who’s mother gets married and they have to move. After she moves she is planning on making new friends and a new life or so she hopes. Suze has a problem, she can talk to ghosts, see them, and touch them, she is a Mediator. The ghosts also haunt her and ask her to solve their incomplete earthly deeds for them, getting her into, well lets say very bad problems. It is easy to read and funny! The books flow and don’t go on about nothing or not explain enough of the story! The first book is Shadowland and the second the ninth key, so far I have read the first two books so I can’t give the rest of the story! I hope you like it just as much as I do!!!
Comments(2) Summer is a busy time of year, if not for you then it is for me! So far I have gone camping out east, (Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I).

So know that I’v told you what I am doing this summer how about writing a list of the most fun things to the lest!
The tide is almost out!
The tide is almost always in!
Comment on it!
Comments(1) The lion king has once again come to Toronto and I was lucky enough to see it! It is a funny and good movie with humer and adventure as well as life lessons!
Comments(1) Anne Frank is really grown up! She was s smart sissy, load opinanated school girl of 13 and now , by the end of the book she has matured and has become a sophisticated wise young woman. Anne’s diary entries have become longer and are more about the fact that she found herself. She has realized that she did need love but not all at once, she is still critical but it is her diary. I think that she is becoming more considerate and she realized that she was leading peter on but still it is hard to explain if you know what I mean.
As for an important event I think one of the events or things that stood out to me the most was when they were siting at the table after the robbery and Anne is describing the look of the kitchen and what is on the table. I don’t know about you but that gave me a better scene of understanding what there life was like. The things on the table suggest they are living like a poor family just making it by. Because I have read other war stories and in comparison the franks and there companions had a lot and were very lucky to the end. The event ha no special effect on the story I just have a strong connection with it. It makes me think of camping with my cousins, everything is jumbled all in one pile or many different piles all over the place. This event was concluded by them cleaning up. Like me I like the feeling of a place being clean ( not the cleaning) after being a Tornado dump site. this is also like camping. After almost everyone is gone and we are standing thee going threw the forgotten junk and looking for the proof that we had been there. After they clear the table thee is no proof of a troubled disoriented non- caring family.
I also find Anne’s last recount and entry she has doubt her self and she is disappointed in her life the way she lives and acts. is is a little chilling when she writes those last words I don’t know why but there is some unknown meaning that give s me the creeps.
” …of becoming what I would so like to be, and what I could be, if…there weren’t any other people living in the world.”
I enjoyed reading the book and seeing Anne mature through out. I like the novel but would probably not read it again. I would recommend it to others only if they like that kind of story, book , writing style ect. ect. and if I thought that they could benefit from reading it. The Anne frank book is a hard book to read. It is mostly about a young girl and her thoughts and feelings as well as a young girl finding out who she really is. Anne Frank is a touching and sad novel it is hard to understand it is a little easier after you have read the book and really thought it over. The book is a little like the bible the more you read the more questions you get. Yes some get answered but they are just replaced by others that are more complex. Anne has issues with faith like me. It is not that I don’t believe but it is what am I believing in. That is why I think that this book is a heavy novel and would think it is for people in the age group of 13 to 15 for the most part but 12 at the youngest. I think that both girls and boys should read this book. I think that girls should read it because if they are having troubles at home they know that they are not the only girl that is having issues. I think boys should also read this book because then they might come to know themselves better and maybe learn why girls do the things that do with out anyone having ottell them. I think that the dissections we had a bout the book were interesting and gave me a better understanding other book I am still confused all though it help knowing that the others were confused as well as their opinions.

Comments(0) Do you know the reason that Canadians celebrate Victoria day? We celebrate this so that we may remember birthdays of both Queen Victoria and the current monarch of England. Canada celebrates this as well because we Canadians like lots of holidays (just kidding). The real reason is that Canada was once part of the English common wealth and still enjoy the idea of having a king and queen but also being part of a democracy.
Victoria is still the longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. During Victoria’s life, the British Empire expanded considerably. However, her powers as Queen of the United Kingdom were reduced as the House of Commons became more important and powerful in British politics. Therefore Queen Victoria was a queen that did a lot of good for the country of England in her reign and the Monday after her birthday was then recognized is the day when all the presiding monarchs celebrated their birthday.
Now the king or queen of today will celebrate his or her birthday on the 15th of may. As today is after the weekend I will explain to you what I did and what some of the traditionsfor this holiday. On the holidays weekend I clean the house and the yard , for it is a long weekend which means the parents have more time to make us work. On the Sunday of the weekend Igo to a friend of families home and we have a potluck dinner with many other friends. After night has fallen the kids gather for a bunch of hair rising games of bloody murder and assassination or hide in seek in the dark kick the can, some of these games seem violent and rude but really they are safer then hide and go seek! then we all gather for a thrilling show mad by fireworks and it seems as by tradition on never goes of so then the farmers get a bucket of straw every one goes in to the house they light the firework that know resides in side the bucket and BOOM!
This is how I celebrate the holiday and plan on spending all my holidays like this or in this form. I think that most people celebrate it with fier works and big suppers! So if you have any questions just ask them also I hope you have learned somthing of this holiday! If not more is the pity.
Comments(4) All thought we don’t all believe in angels and God it is still nice to escape the real world and hear a touching poem, so weather you believe like me or just like the tale you have to admit that this is good poetry!
A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
They said had run the light
That caused the six-car pileup
On 109 that night.
When broken bodies lay about
And blood was everywhere,
The sirens screamed out eulogies,
For death was in the air..
A mother, trapped inside her car,
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
Oh, God, please spare my boys!
She fought to loose her pinned hands;
She struggled to get free,
But mangled metal held her fast
In grim captivity.
Her frightened eyes then focused
On where the back seat once had been,
But all she saw was broken glass and
Two children’s seats crushed in..
Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
She did not hear them cry,
And then she prayed they’d been thrown free,
Oh, God, don’t let them die!
Then firemen came and cut her loose,
But when they searched the back,
They found therein no little boys,
But the seat belts were intact.
They thought the woman had gone mad
And was traveling alone,
But when they turned to question her,
They discovered she was gone.
Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
In beseeching supplication,
Please help me find my boys!
They’re four years old and wear blue shirts;
Their jeans are blue to match.
One cop spoke up, They’re in my car,
And they don’t have a scratch.
They said their daddy put them there
And gave them each a cone,
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take them home..
I’ve searched the area high and low,
But I can’t find their dad..
He must have fled the scene,
I guess, and that is very bad.
The mother hugged the twins and said,
While wiping at a tear,
He could not flee the scene, you see,
For he’s been dead a year.
The cop just looked confused and asked,
Now, how can that be true?
The boys said, Mommy, Daddy came
And left a kiss for you.
He told us not to worry
And that you would be all right,
And then he put us in this car with
The pretty, flashing light.
We wanted him to stay with us,
Because we miss him so,
But Mommy, he just hugged us tight
And said he had to go.
He said someday we’d understand
And told us not to fuss,
And he said to tell you, Mommy,
He’s watching over us.
The mother knew without a doubt
That what they spoke was true,
For she recalled their dad’s last words,
I will watch over you.
The firemen’s notes could not explain
The twisted, mangled car,
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.
But on the cop’s report was scribed,
In print so very fine,
An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare.
****************
This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven,
He saw me, and he asked: ‘My child, what is your greatest wish for today?’
I responded: ‘Lord please, take care of the person who is reading this message, their family and their special friends.
They deserve it and I love them very much. ‘
This message works on the day you receive it.
Let us see if it is true 20 ANGELS EXIST
but some times, since they don’t all have wings, we call them FRIENDS.
Comments(0) For years woman have be fighting to have the same rights as men, even now woman in different parts of the world are still fighting for these rights. I believe in woman having the same rights as men but I don’t thing that we should brag about the results and over use them. That is the same as with Gay rights. I am not for them but not against it. I think it is nice that they have found true love but they don’t have to go around kissing and showingoff they can just act like a regular people. I found these lyrics by Shaina Twain and found them interesting, I also liked the song!
(Oh na, na, na)
She hosts a T.V. show–she rides the rodeo
She plays the bass in a band
She’s an astronaut–
a valet at the parking lot
A farmer working the land
She is a champion–she gets the gold
She’s a ballerina–the star of the show
She’s–not–just a pretty face
She’s–got–everything it takes
She has a fashion line–
a journalist for “Time”
Coaches a football team
She’s a geologist–a romance novelist
She is a mother of three
She is a soldier–she is a wife
She is a surgeon–she’ll save your life
She’s–not–just a pretty face
She’s–got–everything it takes
She’s–mother–of the human race
She’s–not–just a pretty face
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh na, na, na, na…..
She is your waitress–she is your judge–
she is your teacher
She is every woman in the world
Oh, la, la, la
She flies an airplane–
she dirve a subway train
At night she pumps gasoline
She’s on the council–she’s on the board
She’s a politician–she praises the Lord
No, she’s (she’s) not (not)–
just a pretty face
She’s (she’s) got (got)–everything it takes
She’s–not–just a pretty face
She’s got everything it takes
She’s not just a pretty face
Comments(1) 1. Summarize the main events in your group’s novel after 3 days of Inquiry Circles.
In the book so far……
So Far my group has read to page 78 Tuesday April 1943. In the book we have learned about why the Frank family is in hiding and were they are hiding. Anne Frank is telling the imaganary person named kitty about life in hiding. She is telling us about how all the people in hiding are co- operating. The way she describes the others living with her and how much they argue as well as the fact that they do the oddest things to stay in shape and the things that they need to do to servive that we think that we might think are horrible and unsightly. The characters are always whining and complaining about how they have to live and the way the others act. Anne is the youngest of the people in hiding she has all the same problems about life as all teenage girls have to suffer through. Not to mention the fact that she is always told about her short comings, and how she is such a reached person. The people in hiding struggle in fear because they have to be quite they have to live with pitiful food that tastes sweet and rotten. However they still seem to have a sense of Humer. As Anne says that ” anyone that wants to become slimier should live in the secret anuxe for a while”. This tells us how little food they live on. I would go into more detail about the arguments that happen and how Peter gets bit by a rat, Mr Van Daam is a butcher and makes sausages, Dussel sets up his dentist practice, Pim reads his book, Mrs. Van Daam gets a dentist tool stuck in her teeth, and mother and Margot how are two people that Anne will never understand are gaily talking and peeling potatoes. But it would give away the story and I might accidentally give the place of hiding away and the Gestapo might find them!
I found this book on google that is almost like a summery of Anne Franks life but in grafic form. Click Here!
2. Who are the round and flat characters in your novel? How has the author introduced you to the important characters in your novel? Provide an example of how the author used one (or more) of the above ways to introduce one of the main characters in your novel.
In my book there is one very round character named Anne Frank she is also writer of the book. This is Anne Frank and the people who are important in her life.
The people in her story that are most important are her parents her sister, Perer Van Daam, Mr and Mrs. Van Daam, and Dussel. The flat characters are the owners of the house the people who have helped them in hiding like Elli, the people on the street and the Announcer On the radio are the main flat characters in her story.
3. Choose an event in the story that you feel is important. Describe what happened. Why do you think the author had this happen at this point in the story? Don’t forget to include the characters introduced so far, the setting and any other important information that will allow your blog readers to gain a deeper understanding of the story. If you had been the character involved in this event, how would you have reacted to the event?
I think that when the new person joins them in the secret house. I think this is important because they are being kind to invite a fellow Jew in to the home, however this new person could not be what he seems to be, this person could accidentally make to much noise or do something that may show the hiding spot. The two families already there are being extremely un-selfish because they are giving up food and space that they could use for them selves.
4. Predict what you think is going to happen next in your novel.
My novel is hard to predict for because it is a diary of someone in hiding that writes about every day things and small problems that are often put to rest in the next entree. I do think that the diary will end with a sudden stop because I know that Anne Frank does die and her Father is the only survivor of the hiding spot. I also think along with Ashly that Anne and Peter will fall in love of there is going to be some other romance.
5. Read and respond to at least 2 other students’ blog posts about their novel. One of the posts should be from the same novel you are reading.
I am going to comment on Cassandra’s blog and Destiny’s blog.
Comments(1) Every really want to now what my blog is all about? Well if you do a wordle you can find out. What I got were some very interesting results! Personally I don’t like it because it really doesn’t show what I am like or what my blog is about. The words that are big and easy to see are just the words that were used a lot in a post about systems in the scientific world were I don’t enjoy being.
Comments(0) I had to write an essay about the values of christian citizens. This is my opinion yours is yours!
Do you ever feel that the responsibilities of a Catholic citizen in free society are muddled and it is un-clear how we should behave and what responsibilities we should have? Well I defiantly understand your troubles. The Catholic religion has changed a lot over the years and as time goes on you sometimes can’t remember the traditions. But there are some things that will never change. Three simple things will stay the same; love one another as Jesus loves you, believe in God with your whole heart, and respect the religions and beliefs of others.
Jesus said, “Love others as I have loved you.” He said this so that we may treat others like we would want to be treated but not like they treated you. You should treat them like you would treat your best friend with kindness and respect. You should give them the time to state there opinion and if they decide not to listen to yours then that is they’re problem. They have missed out on what is probably some good advice. This passage is something that people should be aware of and follow. It tells us that when you treat others with kindness and love then you will be greatly rewarded in heaven and on earth as well because people will reward you with love and kindness, just as you have done to them. With this love for others then you will be able to forgive which is also a necessary step to showing love for everyone. When you can love you can forgive when you can forgive you can love.
Respecting the beliefs and religions of others is another responsibility. When we respect the beliefs and religions of others we come to know and understand the reasons why people believe in these things. Besides, most religions are not trying shove their religion down our throat like the missionaries did so many years ago. When we show respect for the religions of others then they will want to know about ours. When we respect the religions of others we are showing other people what real Christians are and maybe they should join because they see how content we are by doing kind acts and therefore the world will become a better place for all because of all.
Believe in God with your whole heart and soul will complete the three responsibilities of a Catholic citizens. Do this and you will then fully be a Christian at heart with all the right responsibilities and the correct way to act as well as how to treat others. By believing and trusting in God you will come to know him better. You will then understand that God is not just the ruler or creator of the world but he is your father, your friend, your companion. He is all those things you just have to build a better relationship with him. You can trust him to help you, by giving you the strength to trust yourself and others when you need help. God can helps in mysterious ways so don’t wait for an angel to save you from falling of a cliff because things like that don’t happen; take the help you can get. You will come to know that God is in everyone and everything it just might need a little help to come out. Besides no one has come back from the dead to tell us what God or Gods are the right ones to believe in or what heaven is like.
Loving one another as Jesus loved us, believing in God, and respecting the religions and beliefs of others are the three most important responsibilities for a Catholic citizen in a free society. These things are simple responsibilities Catholics should follow, so they are satisfied. These responsibilities are not just for Catholics but they are for everyone; because if everyone did these things the world would be a much better place.
Comments(0) You have probably not noticed that there are some very weird things that both assassinated presidents have in common! Also did have you noticed that even thought Canada and the United States might be neighbors but they have a lot of different names for things. As well as the fact that in the united states the candy that we call rockets 
They call smarties and in the states there are no smarties!
There are a lot of other things that are diffent between the countries like high ways are called free ways and they have presedents we have prime Ministers ect, ect.
The but here is a weird thing that has happened to two of the presedents in the united states 100 years apart.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Now it gets really weird.
Lincoln ’s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named ‘Ford.’
Kennedy was shot in a car called ‘ Lincoln’ made by ‘Ford.’
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here’s the kicker…
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe
