here's a joke!!

I was in Geometry class today and this kid was telling these jokes from a book called the puzzle book. It had some pretty lame jokes, but also some pretty good ones. there were some like "why does a flamingo stand on one leg?" and the answer is " because if he puts up both, he'll fall." but my favorite one was......."how come the baby raspberry was crying?" and the answer is " because his mom and dad were in a jam." it made me laugh so much.... but it's also mean. his parents just got squished. but i thought it was a good. lol i hope you like it too.

Shape collage!!

I chose these pictures because it shows that in the book Everest, this blind guy, Erik Weihenmayer found love, had a baby and climbed the mountain. shows he was determined and he summitted the mountain. Also shows that how ever hard you work, whether you can see or not. You can make your dreams come true. The tones of this book was determination, love, passion, and glory. Determination comes into play because he wanted to climb Mount Everest and also becasue he found someone who loved him because he of who he was and not because he was blind. Loves plays a role because he fell in love. When he decided he was going to climb the mountain, he was going to be away from his family for 6 months. His wife loved him enough to let him climb that mountain and make his dreams come true. Passion takes part because he loves to climb mountains and he climbed just about every mountain. Glory comes from summitting the mountain.

tarantula or wasp? hmm.....toughie!!

I would prefer not studying either animals. YUCK!! I thinkk they are both gross. I don't like the tarantula because they look spooky. They give me te creepie crawlies. Plus, they bite. That's what the article said on the national geographic website. IT SAID THEY ARE HARMLESS TO HUMANS EXCEPT FOR THEIR PAINFUL BITE.It shows a pic of them and it looks so ugly. ewwa.

I wouldn't like the wasp either because it hurts to get stung and I don't like pain. The article said that the sting is not severe but the reactions differ with the individual. The article also said that they only sting when they are handled or threatened. ummm......WE WOULD BE STUDYING THEM, SO WE WILL GET STUNG....ya, not cool man.

Erik Wiehenmayer

i think he is an inspiration because not many people have the heart and courage to climb a mountain that big. most people would be scared. i know i would be. i will never climb a mountain. he could have gotten hypothermia or dehydrated and even worse.....HE COULD HAVE DIED!!!!! SCERRY!
