A couple of themes in my book are… sadness and worry. Ther are many other themes like anger, and regret, but I’m going to write about sadness and worry from my book.

Sadness because Cammie and her friends are going to graduate this year and because they know that one best friend of theirs  wont be working with them in the field. They  possibly wont ever get to see her again and they know that this  is their last year together. Sadness because at the end of the book Cammie’s Aunt Abby leaves and all o f the girls look up to her and love her.

Worry because Cammie is trying to figure out who attacked them on the roof of the building in Boston. When she figures out that the people on the roof  is the Gallagher academy’s only true enemy The circle of Cavan. Worry also because the girls find out that Jillian Gallagher is Macey’s great great-grandmother.  So they think that is why the circle of Cavan attacked them on the roof. But later i n the book  Cammie get attacked and then that brings out a whole new kind of worry because why would they be after Cammie she’s not a descendent of Jillian Gallagher.

I think that the last couple of chapters were pretty intense and a lot of stuff happens in them. The last couple of chapters were a pretty fast read I mean I read them in just a couple(like 2 0r 3) silent reading classes. 

I guess to find out I’m going to have to read the next book called “only the good spy young”. To find out what happens next.

In my book I didn’t find that the authors writing was very good. I felt that she could have used bigger words or at least more descriptive words. I feel like im read a book meant for little kids.  I have read books with better authors craft and I like it when I have to read over a word a few times to find out what they mean. To me for a piece of writing to be good it has to be harder to understand it has to make me want to read it again three more times. It also has to have a good vocabulary.  To me I might have a completely different opinion for something than another person. I could say that something sucks really bad and some one else could absolutely love it.

If I were to write a book or a short story I would use the best vocabulary I could and I would try to make my style of writing really good. I would look at a bunch of different kinds and categories of books and learn and use  some good vocabulary from those books.  

The first  conflict in my book right now and its about Cammie and her aunt whom she hasnt seen in a while and she is the only one who everyone is talking about, and saying that she is so cool. Cammie doesnt like how her aunt abby doesnt have time to talk with Cammie alone because she always has some people around her and shes always protecting Macey, or shes just busy. This conflict would be an external conflict.

The other conflict in my book is with Macey and  Cammie dealing with what happened on the roof top when they got attacked. Macey is covered with black and blue bruises from head to toe. But she doesnt want anyone to see them, so she wont change in her room she goes to washroom to change.  Looking at this conflict makes me think that it is a internal conflict.

From the beginning there really isnt much more detail to the characters than there was before. Macey is a bit more shy than she was last time.

In my book it starts out that the main character Cammie Morgan, is invited to join her friend Macey at her dad’s national political convention. Her dad is becoming the vice president and Macey has to be on television with him accepting the award. Macey is not the kind of girl who wants to be on television with her parents,the McHenry’s. During the practice run Macey and Cammie are trapped on the rooftop with the son of the president, Preston had found them and was walking with them to their rehearsal and they ended up on the rooftop. That was what the schedule had said for Macey to go, but as they were looking around on the roof top and the door closed. A black helicopter came, and two people in full black jumped out and  started attacking the two girls. Cammie got Preston off of the roof safely by sending him down on a window washing cart. Cammie and Macey were fighting the two people when Cammie knocked on of the people unconscious, kicked in an air vent grabbed Macey and slid down the chute and knocked themselves unconscious on the way down.

When they woke up the were at their covert operations teachers house on the lake with full security. Macey had a broken arm and Cammie had a black eye and a bandage around her head. Macey’s parents came to get her in a helicopter and took her away before Cammie had a chance to really talk to her.

On the day back to the Gallagher academy for exceptional young women after summer break there was so many versions of rumors about what had happened on the rooftop that day. That Cammie was shocked when she walked in and the academy was silent. Every one had turned to look at her and stare,  she just went up to her room. When her friends came they talked and  after a while they heard  the siren going off  ”Code Red, Code Red”. They ran down to the doors and they saw Macey coming up in a big black stretch limo and  secret service agents, new crews and they were everywhere.

I think that the book so far is very well written lots of description, well categorized, and very intriguing. But as I was reading I found myself wondering who were the two people who jumped out of the helicopter? Who was it that messed with Macey’s schedule?

We did an online survey to find out what job would be more suited for us. We did it in class and there were 116 questions that you had to answer. After you answer the questions you get 40 jobs that the survey gives based on the answers that you gave. There was all sorts of jobs on the survey. They had from house keeping all of the way up to biologist, and professional athlete.

I found out that there was a job for stocking and collecting the money from vending machines!  My top three jobs  that i got was 1) Professional Athlete, 2) Veterinarian, 3) Model. I actually had never considered being a pro athlete, or a model for that matter.

I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian, ever since I was little. I plan to go to university. Then continue on to vet college for a couple more years after university. When I’m all done with my courses i want to work as a private practicing veterinarian. To find out more about being a vet  click here.

The five thing I know about this graph are;

In 2008 all of the industries had the highest employment rates for the years 2005-2009. Utilities had the lowest employment rate for all of the 4 years.  The employment rate for Manufacturing has dropped from 2005 to 2009. For trades the employment rates didn’t change much over the period of four years. There is a HUGE  difference between all of the industries and Utilities, there is a difference of about 16000 . There are about three trends that I found on the  graph. One of them was that Utilities never really increased or decreased. Second of all, There was only one employment industry that was above 5000 for employment rates. Finally most of the industries employment rates went up over the span of the four years.

ONline tools for mapping bike routes have existed for years. For example RideTheCity.com. It also tell you bike shops on you route path.Promoting bicycle travel for utilitarian purposes, in addition to recreation and exercise, has become a federal objective since Congress opened new sources of funding for bicycle facilities with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, or ISTEA, in 1991.This continued over the next decade and now federal planning requirements must consider bicyclists in state and Metropolitan Planning Organization, or MPO, long-range transportation plans.

The League of American Bicyclists sponsored the American Bike Summit, hopes the Google feature will encourage wary would-be cyclists to get on the road, give more seasoned bikers the respect they deserve, and curb unnecessary motorist pollution by highlighting safe routes:

-Dark green indicates a dedicated bike-only trail

-Light green indicates a dedicated bike lane along a road

-Dashed green indicates roads that are designated as preferred for bicycling but without dedicated lanes

The tool is far from perfect, however. It does not yet work for mobile devices, so bikers will have to map their routes from home or the office before setting out. And Google’s algorithm that combines input from bike lanes, topography, and traffic signals is still just an algorithm.If you spot a problem in the bike map you can you can suggest a route change or make a correction using Google’s “report a problem” Feature.

Too bad they don’t have this in Canada yet!

The pacific garbage patch is roughly the size of Texas. It contains about 3.5 tons of trash. The Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest garbage dump in the world. There are also many animals that are affected by the Pacific Garbage Patch like sea birds , turtles, and beluga whales. They get caught in the nets and swallow pieces of plastic floating in the water. Experts say plastic trash has already killed millions of sea birds and marine mammals. In one case, pieces of plastic and a cigarette lighter were found in the stomach of a dead albatross.

There are many causes of water pollution. Farmers use chemicals to keep bug infestations and diseases from ruining their crops. They also use chemicals to enhance the growth of their crops. But the chemicals they use seep into the ground water and end up in the lakes, creeks and rivers causing water pollution. Farmland that is treated with fertilizers/pesticides is a major contribution to water pollution.

Industries produce toxic waste containing heavy metals. When heavy metals filter into the water they are fatal to the animals that live in the water.  Humans are affected by the heavy metals in the fish  that we eat. Heavy metals in the water have also been known to cause severe birth defects, a damaged or suppressed immune system, cancer, fertility problems, developmental problems in children.

The construction industries is also at fault for contaminating our water with cement, lubricants, metals, and plastics.  Rivers and lakes are also contaminated by run-off and sediment from the construction sites.

Ground water pollution occurs when debris, garbage, oils, chemicals and other contaminates enter the ground water supply over time. Ground water is often a resource for our drinking water. If the water isn’t treated properly the contaminates can cause severe health problems for humans and some animals.

Natural catastrophes are the cause of water pollution effects as well. Storms, earthquakes, floods, acid rain, and volcano eruptions have also been known to disrupt the ecological system and pollute the water.

At first the government said that there was 802 deaths from the earthquake, but recently they have lowered the number of deaths too 279. It’s still a big number but not nearly as big as they the first estimate of 802 people.  The earthquake in Chile had unleashed a tsunami that hit coastal towns. Thirty-six hospitals have been heavily damaged and destroyed from the . There was about half a million homes that were destroyed by the earthquake. The earthquake destroyed over 500 000 homes in Chile, and will take three to four years to rebuild. It will cost 8 to 14 billion dollars to rebuild everything.
