7th graders who rule the world

If seventh graders ruled the world it would be so fun. I mean you would get to say what everyone gets to do.  and make your own rules. My first rule would be every year the world goes to the new grade so I would always be in control of  the world. This is why 7th graders should rule the world.

Pewaukee Varisty Basketball

In the Pewaukee school district basketball is very important everyone goes to the high school and watches the game. My favorite player is none they are all equally good. I like rec coaches they teach you a lot. I like when the coaches teach me better moves and cool stuff to do with the ball.This is why I like varsity basketball at Pewaukee.

Response to All Summer in a Day
            Have you ever thought what it feels like to have no sun for seven years it must be awful. Well in the short story “All summer in a day” by Ray Bradbury living in Venus isn’t a very hard task they only get 2 hours of sunlight every seven years. But for Margot who’s lived on earth and remembers the sunlight and the wonderful white clouds there is a really hard thing for her to never get any sunlight. Since this story is an Irony because it is very unrealistic and a bad nightmare vision.
            Since this story is an Irony it is really unrealistic. I mean do you know anyone who’s lived on Venus. Also even if they did live on venues can you believe that they only get two hours of sunlight every seven years? Since it is a nightmare vision that makes it an Irony story. The main character is never in control because she gets locked in a big old closet the whole time and that follows the Irony characteristics. If this story wasn’t on venues and it didn’t rain for seven years it’s probably a tragedy or comedy.
Since this story lines up with the plot line of Irony like how the world is in conflict and that they get no sun. Then the major conflict is when she gets locked in the closet.  Then death or death of sanity is when she misses the 2 hours of sun that they get every seven years.  Also in the story evil is strong and good is weak. Like when William in the story shoved her in the closet he was very evil and very powerful. And Margot was weak and she was just happy that the sun was coming out.
In this story Margot is very dumb she never even defends herself. If she did she would have been outside with the sun. Since she didn’t she got put in the closet by William. That is another reason why it is an Irony. This story is perfect to examine our fears if we didn’t have these kinds of stories we would feel our life stinks and we should improve it. When you read this story you feel good about your life and say I wouldn’t like to be Margot. These are all the reasons why I think this is an Irony.
So this is why All Summer in a Day is an Irony. It is very unrealistic and a very bad nightmare vision. It follows the Irony plotline its purpose is helping examine your fears which fits the Irony purpose. So this is why this story is an Irony.

Carroll College B-ball camp

When I went to Carroll College camp I had a very fun time. It was all drills and scrimmages and never got old. When I was there I meet a kid named Bogey. He was very funny and very good we became friends with him. He went to CM and has a friend named Erick who we made friends with too. When we first met Bogey we thought that he was so stupid but when we really got to know him he was funny and nice. One of his favorites lines were He's Stroking it Baby with a capital B. I will always remember him and I hope to see him next year at the camp.
