Aphrodite



Introduction

 The god that I'm am  going to talk about is Aphrodite. Her roman name is Venus. Her realm is love and beauty. She is very pretty but sometimes she was not known as the nice god, sometimes she was violent. One of her characteristics is that she is the mother of Cupid. Her girdle would allow her to make anyone fall in love with her.  Last, is that she is pretty.








Opinion

I choose Aphrodite because I love that she is the goddess of love and beauty. Also, because she is very powerful. I choose her because she is so pretty and I wanted to talk about her. She is my favorite my favorite god because she is able to make the world a better place by making people love each other and make people happy with the person that they love. I would respect this god because sometimes she can be a little violent so I would respect her so then nothing bad happens. Also, she is my favorite because she is so pretty and you can always learn from her. Aphrodite's strength is love and beauty.

Austin & Ally

Introduction

 Austin and Ally is a famous Disney  TV show. There are 4 characters named Austin, Ally, Dez, and Trish. It was first aired on December 2, 2011. It is about a comedy about the unique relationship between a young songwriter, Ally Dawson, and Austin Moon, the overnight internet sensation who gains sudden notoriety after performing one of Ally's songs. Austin and Ally struggle with how to maintain and capitalize on Austin's newfound fame. Austin is more of a rebel type who doesn't follow the rules and is somewhat immature for his age, while Ally is conservative yet self-conscious.


Opinion

In my opinion Austin and Ally is a good children show. I think that because all the characters are so funny and nice. With Austin's confidence, kids will be more confident to speak in public, sing in front of an audience, speak up for them self, and be able to do things with confidence. With Ally having stage fright and then able to sing in front of people is amazing, that will just help kids who are scared of something.  Having Trish makes the show funny because she gets a least 3 jobs a day and she doesn't care about anything. That shows that by not caring about anything you wouldn't have to care what other people say about you. And last but not least is Dez. He is so funny that he mkes so many people laugh. By watching Dez, this shows that people can become comedians and make other people laugh as well.




Conclusion

Paragraph 2

Messy Room
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
-Shel Silverstein
The theme of this poem is that a kid is proud of his room being a mess and someone saw it and thought that the person whos room that is should be ashamed of themself for having such a messy room. This poem stuck out to me because it looked very interesting and since I'm a messy oerson at my house, I wanted to see how messy someone elses room was.:) This poem relates to me because my room is really messy and I get in trouble and my parents say that I shoulod be ashamed of myself just like the kid ha ha. I think that the poet was mad because the poet couldn't belive how bad the kids room is . And said that the boy/girl should be ashamed of themself.

Paragraph 3

There are many different examples in the poem like alliteration, rhyme scheme, repetition. The rhyme scheme is a b c b d e f d e g h I a e j k .  A rhyme scheme is the pattern in the poem for example by using letters like  a and b. By having a rhyme scheme , it makes the poem better because it gives a beat and rhyme to help you as you read the poem and also by having a rhyme scheme, it also makes kids happy and get to rhyme to help them when they are older if they want to write poem.

Justin Bieber VS One Direction




Justin Bieber

  Justin Drew   Justin Drew Bieber was born on March 1, 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. He was raised by a single mom. His first album My World hit in stores in November 2009.  He always had interest in music. His mom gave him a drum set for his birthday at a young age. Justin's first song " One Time" went certified platinum. He had his first concert called Never Say Never and his fans crowded movie theaters to see his movie. In 2011 he began recording his third album called Believe. He made top 100 on ITunes with his songs like Boyfriend, Believe, As Long as you Love Me, Beauty and the Beat, and many more.



One Direction


One Direction is a pop boy band with 5 boys. Their names are Niall, Liam, Harry, Zayn, and Louis. Niall is born on September 13, 1993. Harry was born on February 1, 1994. Zayn was born on January 12, 1993. Liam was born on August 29, 1993. And Louis was born on December 24, 1991.  They have many songs and they were on the ITunes top 100. Some of their popular songs are That's What Makes you Beautiful, One Thing, Live While we Young, Story of My Life, and many more.





Opinion

In my opinion I think that One Direction is better than Justin Bieber in some ways. Justin Bieber takes drugs, that is not a good role model for kids. One Direction is really nice and don't take drugs. Justin Bieber went to jail! That is not a good role model because that just shows that he will make other kids go there cause kids look up to him. No one from One Direction went to jail. I would look up to One Direction before JB. Justin is a good singer but he is not a good role model for kids. His fans will try to be like Justin because they look up to him.

Miley Cyrus

Introduction

Miley Cyrus is a famous singer and actress. She was born November 23, 1992. Miley had a hit TV show called Hannah Montana with her dad Billy Rae Cyrus. Right now she has an album called Bangerz with a few famous songs of hers called Wrecking Ball and Adore You. In Hannah Montana she was a character who lives in California named Miley Stewart. She doesn't reveal her secret that she is Hannah Montana to some of her best friends and fans. Miley Cyrus is 21 years old and was on the VMA's.

Opinion

In my opinion I think that Miley Cyrus is inappropriate. Ever since the VMA's some people haven't liked the way she acted there. For example like the twerking dance and the dance that she did .  Also in her Wrecking Ball video she was naked. Kids and adults looked up to Miley as a role model but now since her VMA performance , people haven't liked the way she changed. I love her songs and I'm not against her , it's just that I think that she should be the old Miley and change to the way she used to be.


Question/ Challenge 

What is your opinion on Miley? Put it in the comment box below and if you have any questions or comments then just put them there as well . Thank you for reading my blog . Here are websites I used

Is Technology Messing With Your Brain?

Introduction

Is technology messing with your brain? Well currently people have been debating wither or not technology is messing your brain. I think that technology is not messing with your brain because you can do homework on the internet, you can stay in contact with a friend/relative who lives far away. I think that technology is not messing with your brain because you can do different things on your phone. 


First Paragraph

One reason that it is not messing with your brain is that you can do your homework on the internet. Like what if you have to write a essay for social studies. You can go on your math book to do problems for homework. You can email your teacher if you have questions on the homework. Also, there is a website called Edmodo to do homework and ask other kids what was the homework that they missed. See you can use the internet to do homework and it won't mess with your brain because it will make you smarter and help you with homework so you won't get a bad grade for not doing it. Plus it won't mess with your brain.


Second Paragraph

You stay in contact with a friend/relative that lives far away from you. You can catch up on what they have been doing and if there is anything new that they missed. What if you are living on your own and there is a problem? You would need to call or text someone to give you advice. Yeah kids and adults how Facebook and Instagram, but you can stay in touch with a friend so you don't miss out. Like one of my best friend Julia moved to Florida, but I still text her and go on Instagram to see how she has been.

This is a picture of a girl on her phone. This picture is from Google images.

Closing Paragraph

In my opinion I think that technology is not messing with your brain. It can help you a lot but not in a bad way because you can do homework and other things on your phone. Technology is not just for going on YouTube, Vine, Instagram, Facebook, and many more.
