In my interpretation of the Giver, Jonas is still alive after the ending. In my eyes Jonas seeing the house was basically the memory of that leaving him as he left the farthest boundary from the community. When he fainted or closed his eyes he was fainting because of the lost memory. A little while later, a group of natives(or Indians) had found Gabe and Jonas. They then took the two children into their village. Jonas after re-awakening, had such a big chunk of memory lost that all of his memory was lost. Gabe just grew up from then on. It may sound a little far fetched but i still belive that Jonas and Gabe are alive.

Music’s influence on Teen Culture

     Music, a way for people to express themselves. This can turn into something very bad. All it could take is just one simple song to change someone’s life. Many rappers can emit a bad influence that can ruin some teenager’s lives. They also can emit the fact of new items or stores.

     The fact that people may repeat in steps of some rappers are very bad. For example some people at a young age may start smoking. This can ruin reputations and hopes as a good future. It can also turn them from the right direction into the pits.

     This can also emit a good attitude too. For example it can tell people of let’s say, new uggs. This can tell people that are a fan of uggs that there is a new pair. This can increase the buyer productivity of those uggs.

     As you may see, music can be both good and bad at times. From emitting bad influence to telling of a new product. It can range from helping someone’s life to destroying it.

My 20% project is about the history of lacrosse and how to make a lacrosse shaft. I want to so this because I am very intrigued in the sport and would like to learn more about it.I mainly want to know is how lacrosse had originated. I need :

1. 10 bamboo poles
2. A carving knife
3. Flexible wood(for the head)
4. String
5. A way to put my brand onto the stick

    My plan is to first come up with a way to carve my pole and make it be aerodynamic. After that I will try my hardest to carve a head and if I cant I will have to buy one myself. After that I will come up with an emblem for my brand and put it on the stick someway.

              What I learned throughout 2012

In 2012 I learned that in order to amount to something great you must train and get better a  using your skills. For example I had tried out for an advanced lacrosse team and made it. They only had one complaint about the way I had used my stick skills. From now until the first practice been training and getting better with it.

As a matter of fact, my resolution is to get better with my stick skills. I am practicing with my stick rolls and ball hawking players passes. So far I have gotten better at ball hawking but, I still need better rolls. It is hard to stick with but, you just have to persist and it will soon get easier. It takes a while to get used to New Year resolutions but after a while it gets easier.

   Hello everybody! Today is going to be more of a serious post. Also, please look at the post below this one if you haven't yet. To start off for today you will be hearing about the kind of learner I am. I had taken two tests- the Howard Gardner and Anthony Gregorc test. For both I had gotten different results. On the Gardner I was told that I was a Logical Mathematical, Musical, and a Interpersonal learner.For the Gregorc test I was told that I was Concrete Random. In the Gardener it had basically told me I learn best by music,math, and by working in groups. For the Gregorc, Concrete Random means that I learn best by, solving problems and playing games. Basically it is more of an interactive approach. From this it has the potential to help me study. I can use one of these ideas to help me with quizzes. I wonder how Alexander Graham Bell, Einstein, and Adrian Peterson learned. To start Adrian Peterson must be a Bodily Kinesthetic and Concrete random learner. Alexander was probably a logical mathematical and Abstract Sequential learner. Einstein was probably a logical mathematical and Abstract sequential too. As you can see many people learn in many different writing stiles.

I commented on Christina's blog.

   

  OK, to start off this will be a very long post.Just stay tuned because it gets exciting. To start off I will do a post at the end of every weekend called the weekend buzz. It will either be about myself or you guys. You can email me at DarienChismar@gmail.com. Here we go with the very first buzz.
Weekend Buzz 1: This weekend had many ups and downs. I'm going to start with good then say the bad to make you be miserable for the rest of the week:). Sorry, I don't really mean that. The good news was it was my dad's birthday. YEAH! Good thing it wasn't spent in the emergency room.
 Yes, I was almost sent to the emergency room on the night of 9/22.It all started by riding my go kart up and down the street. My dad wanted to ride it and after he was done said it was a bit too slow. He wanted to fix it and needed light so, I went inside and grabbed my light sword(a cheap plastic thing) to help him. He fixed it and I went up in front of the go kart to see if there was a bolt missing by using my light sword . I realized there wasn't and just stood there. My dad turned it on and immediately the light turns on and the engine revs as it starts coming to me at high speed. My dad had managed to get a grip but it had quickly slipped away. I successfully get out of the way and then it turns right to me. It pins me on the front and then my back goes through bushes and then hits my bike. Instantly I fall to the ground and feel a sting in my left thigh. It had ran it over.The moment I can I get up and start to wearily walk away. I stop dead as I feel the intense pain hit me. My dad escorts me to the house into my room. We look at the damage and I was luckey to only have many bruises and a few scrapes on my feet.Also, the reason that I had gotten up right after I was hit was because something my mom had told me. It was called " Fight or Flight". It means that when your body gets hurt you either stay and fight or you run away and take flight.
  Now I find two things very fun in this. First off, my dad showed me the skidmarks on the driveway from this. You sees the tracks go straight and randomly turn right to where I was standing. Aparently my go kart is possessed!Second thing I found funny is that I had held on to my lightsword through out the whole entire catashtrophie. I had only realized it was still in my hand when my dad had told me to drop. Okay everybody, that was the first weekly buzz hoped that you enjoyed it . Also, don't forget to give your friends my URL. That all for now Folks. 

OK, This is the very first update. To start every couple days I will be adding a joke. Today is going to have the very first one. Here goes everything.        JOKE 1:Luke, who lived in a small town, was teased everywhere he went as he had a completely bald head! Having put up with it for years, he decided to would not take it any more. So he climbed a tall tower and shouted for everyone to hear: "I am not bald, it just so happens that I'm taller than my hair!"
