What I think the out come of the Volleyball game will be.
I think the outcome of the volleyball game (student vs. teachers) will be the students will win. Here is why, teachers are old (most) they can't move as fast, and the people they will play are 8th graders, most likely people who were on the school volleyball team. I mean plus the students are experienced.
Well today I watched the game, and the teachers won, that was a shocker, I'm seriously surprised. Annie stop choking!!!! (she is at my house right now) Anyways ya the teachers won. I think it is mostly because some of the teams of students didn't even know what the term "bump" was, Ms. Green you feel my pain, it was horrible to watch. It was pretty funny to watch them fail miserably. I'm not going to name any names but the only good teams were on the volleyball team and there were only two teams of those. The way they organized the way to switch in and out was confusing but I kind of want to play next year.

The Book Thief
the tone
The Book Thief was definitely better than I thought it would be, I thought it would be one of those sappy story's about a Jew's struggle through the Holocaust, not that those are bad, just I've read a lot of books like it. It turned out to be a really good book, I couldn't put it down, and decided to just finish it, it is probably one of the most sad books I've ever read, SPOILER!!!! everyone except Max dies, she (Leisel) is left with almost nothing, and has to start new for the second time in her life.
I think the tone of this book is definitely emptiness, though my whole group hasn't finished the book i personally think that all throughout the book Leisel is striped of all the thing that she holds dear to her heart. I also noticed that the author foreshadowed when all Leisel's real family dies, representing what will happen to her new family and friends.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The whole book
I thought that this was the best book in the series, by the way Ms. Green I think it is really good too, and I will probably re-read it. I like how all the books in the series are kind of like a new adventure for Harry, but always come back and relate to the idea of defeating Voldemort. My favorite chapter was definately the last one when Harry defeats Voldemort, when he is talking to him proving all Voldemorts motives wrong, and it ends in the epic killing of him. I also wish that they would continue the series with like the children of Harry and Ron, kind of like the next generation.
I'm kind of worried to see the rest of the movies, I noticed it seems hard now for producers to make the movie anything like the book. They think that they will get more veiws if they make a new movie out of the base of a book, it is pathetic!!!! And they still get a lot of views! The only series that I think they got right with the movies was The Lord of the Rings, and I notice that it is an older movie... so that is why I'm worried for the outcome of the Harry Potter series.

The Survey we did in TX History
The survey we did TX History was kind of dumb, no offense to the district but what was the point? I guess it is a good way to find out what they think about the school... but if you look on the first survey when you choose your school you could choose any school and say a bunch of bad stuff about them. I also think that it isn't a very fool proof method of getting info on the school.
Hey did anyone watch March Madness? I know it was a long time ago, but I saw the championship and it was pretty awesome. I also watched the Michigan's last game (of course) and UT's last game, comment if you saw any of those. Hope you feel better Mrs. Green.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows
First 2 chapters
The first chapter starts with all the Death Eaters (Lord Voldemort's closest wizards) at their hideout/location and Voldemort is asking them what the have learned. I surprisingly feel kind of bad for the Death Eaters because they have to serve Voldemort or he would come and find him and kill him, I also think of them as wimps because they could have at least tried to stand up to him. Also Draco automatically had to serve him just because his dad did.
The second chapter is about how the Order tries to help Harry harry escape to the Burrow from the Dursley's house, and Spoiler!!!!!!!!! Mad-Eye Moody dies in the process. I think the way that they decided to smuggle Harry away from the Dursley's is kind of funny because they all turn into Harry, even the girls, that would be really weird to turn into a boy if you were a girl... weird picture. I also think it is suspicious that the Death Eaters knew exactly when Harry was leaving, but they didn't know which one it was, so someone must have let it slip that that was when they were leaving.

The Book Theif
The seven sided dice
The seven sided dice is kind of like the ways Leisels luck goes, her days, some good some bad and then the worst, seven. The first few are just normal, school, reading to Max, and playing soccer. Then they start to get more interesting, and I really like the way that the author writes the story, as a 7 sided dice I think it is smart and unique.
The 7th side of the dice is kind of sad though because she goes to confront Ilsa Herman, the mayor's wife and she yells at her for firing her mama. From there on their friend ship is kind of broken and Leisel can never go back and read in the library because of it. I personally wouldn't have been brave enough to confront her.
