if i would not have had ssr in class this year then i probably would not have read any books. I usually never read outside of class unless it is for english class. i did not read outside of school at all in middle school.one of the benefits of reading outside of school is that if you read you will end up watching less tv. one of the down sides of reading in class is that if we read then we will have less time to learn about things in class.

academically I am doing much better then I was doing in middle school. in middle school I was a straight d student with some f,s and one a. now that I am in high school i'm on the honor roll. But over all i think high school is a lot better then middle school because now i have better grades, more friends and all my teachers are really nice to me. some of the things are the same though, like i still have never got a detention before or a suspension. but there is one bad thing, i have not only made more friends but i have also made more enemies.

about my blog

at first I had just blogged because I had to for english,but now I am starting to think that blogging is kind of fun and it is even more exciting to know that people all around the world will see my blog. I am also starting to realize that the more I blog the better at writing I get. Some of the things I have blogged about are things that I might not have blogged about if I did not have to.I am actually starting to think about blogging outside of class. One of my major goals is to get tons of hits so that i know that what i am writing might actually effect someone somewhere else.

Shooting in Arizona

On a Saturday there was a shooting in Tucson,Arizona. The shooter was a man named Jared Lee Loughner. Six people where killed and thirteen people where wounded. Some people think that his lawyer is going to say that the reason he shot those people is because he is insane so that he is spared the death penalty. They also think his lawyer is going to try to get the trial moved out of Arizona because she thinks that the Arizona judges will unfairly judge him because one of the people shot was a judge.

I believe that the shooter should get the death penalty because if you kill and injure that many people then you deserve the death penalty. I also believe that he deserves the death penalty because I think that he actually planned the shooting which means that he is not insane. Another reason that I think he should get the death penalty is that he shot a judge. One more reason is that even if he is insane eventually if he gets out of the mental hospital then he might shoot even more people.It might also save money because they will not have to feed him if he gets the death penalty.
