What We've Been Up To Today!

Here's what we've been up to today....

Reader's Workshop


Mary Ann is really nervous because she is talking to her dad and she feels like it is going to be a bid flat out no but she was excited with him because he gave her cash and a yes to go with Logan. 

She is also  so excited because she gets to be herself in the mall with her friends and pick an outfit for the dance and they all help with the pick of it.

I think that she is happy with the club because they are going to miss a club meeting for her to give her some pointers for on the dance floor and with Logan.

In the scene where MA was worried at the lunch table and Kristy spoke up and gave her a suggestion, my thoughts were I was feeling surprised because Kristy doesn’t like to talk about fashion so I'm surprised that Kristy spoke up like that. If i were in MA shoes i would also be surprised b/c kristy doesn’t normally talk about fashion so i would also be surprised that kristy spoke up if i were in MA shoes.

In the scene, Mary An was thinking of the dance that Logan asked Mary An to and messed up on her knitting because she kept on thinking, thinking, thinking and thinking so much that she messed up on her knitting and let her anxiety get to her. She was thinking, what if I mess up again and not actually talk, or maybe what if we don't talk for the whole entire 5 hours!

Mary An is feeling like this because she doesn't know what's going to happen at the dance and she picked a fantastic outfit but she still is very unsure and unsecure because I don't think that Mary An ever been to a dance before especially if she has someone to go with. For example, Logan. To further explain, Mary An is a type of person that, you know she's shy and quiet, she's a person who would keep to herself and not go to crazy, huge, party's just like the one Mary An is going to.

         If I was in Mary An's shoes my heart would be beating the fast as ever because if I never ever been in a party before of ever danced in a party I would freak out but of course I would be exited and say yippee! From my own experience, I usually stay home like most people because of the ronna, but I would love to go to a fantastic, musical, crazy looking party! First I do love dancing and going to dark, rainbow lights party's with streamers and lots of people with it isn't ronna.

Writer's Workshop



Do you want to be treated like this anymore? “ NO” I thought so . Then why don't we fight back ? We have been treated  like this for a long time. Let's fight back and get our life back . This is why we must revolt and get back freedom.Power to the people no more controlling us.

          For example do you want to risk getting smallpox .”NO”Then why don’t we just go and fight .If we got smallpox then we will risk dying and we would wonder what end if we didn’t fight back we can’t be scared we have to do it or we may not ever see the life that we used to have again.Look at yourself don’t you see all of those scars ? Look at our poor children, they have never got to experience what we got to be for the missions we got us. What about our religion ?We can’t even practice that .Who gave us this horrible disease? “MISSIONS”So why are we here?( silence) exactly we are here for no good reason the only reason we are here  is they took all of the natural resources that we used before so that we had no choice but to come here so that we could live like this.And  that is just not ok. It would be risky but we could do it if we try and try and we won’t stop trying until we succeed and get back our freedom from the missions .

            One reason we should revolt is because we haven't gone hunting in years most if us probably forgot how to and what about the generation that was born here they have never been able to do the things that we did and they might never be able to so if we want to live our lives then we need to fight back and gain back freedom for ourselves .Do you want that for your children “NO “ that is what i thought.

       Another reason is i don’t know about you but i am sick and tired of following this schedule every single day of the week.And look at your back do you want to get whipped for dropping a spoon? I don’t know about you but I don't want to , do you?”NOPE”Exactly so why are we still here? “ NO GOOD REASON”.

        The next reason is that they want us to pray 3 times a day. I mean they mean well but I think that once a day is good enough,but do we have a say on what we do on a day to day basis? “No Why ? “MISSIONS”So what should we do about it “GET BACK OUR FREEDOM”

            Do you want to be treated like this anymore? “NO”Do you want to get smallpox? “NO”We have to go back to living how we did .Our children are suffering they don't know how things were before the missions and they never will if we don’t fight back .So what are we going to do ? “FIGHT BACK AND GET BACK FREEDOM FROM THE MISSIONS” Let's go get back our freedom!

The answer to 1.B is 2 holes

  1. I subtracted the holes of 3 and  1 and got the sum of 2 because well it is like  common knowledge really.
  2. Then I subtracted again but this time with the numbers of 1\2 and 1\2 and got 0\2 and
  3. I then added the 2 and 0\2 and a hole number of 2 because if there are only 0\2 in the equation there is nothing to add up for the sum so it is one hole.

The answer is: 1  1/2

1. The word problem, " A bucket holds 3  1/2 gallons of water. 1  1/2 gallons is used for watering lettuce and 1 1/2 gallon is poured on carrets. How much water is left?" Ok, we see the numbers and fractions 3  1/2, 1  1/2 ,and 1  1/2 and we need to try and find I nice looking key word to help us make this equation because just imagine only numbers in a equation and no symbols or signs to guide us and subtract or add. To further explain, when you write out a equation there's always a symbol or sign so you would know to subtract, add, multiply, or divide. I see, in the word problem it says, used and poured which defines as subtracting, like water, or fruits and blocks. I took out my main fraction, 3  1/2 and saw the numbers 1  1/2 which was in the sentence with one of the key words, used and I also saw the numbers 1/2 which was in the sentence with the word poured. Now I know to subtract those two fractions from my main number, 3  1/2 because those two numbers have our key words. For examples, poured and used or, maybe take away, count up, and times.

2. Our numbers to subtract 3  1/2 are a little difficult to subtract from 3  1/2 because there are two numbers to subtract from. So, let's bring in some addition into this equation. Let's add up our fantastic numbers, 1  1/2 and 1/2 because it's way easier and doesn't take that much work to do. For example, I have to subtract 10-4-3.  And there's three numbers to subtract from so, would it be way easier if you only had to subtract from only two numbers? Yup why not. So then just add 4+3 and you'll have the answer to that and use the number to subtract from you're remanding number, 10 of course! We'll do that to our fractions now, 1/2+1  1/2.  1/2+1  1/2=1  2/2

3. And finally, only two numbers to subtract from, 3  1/2 and the number that we added up from., 1  2/2.  Now there's a problem here, add up the two whole numbers, 3 and 1=4 then there we have the numerator to add which makes problems because of course ya can't subtract 1/2 from 2/2 so it's regrouping time! ( singing tone) I sliced up or regrouped 3 into 1,1 and the last 1 which makes the three a whole three then I'll just make it into 2/2 which's the same thing as 1 whole. Now 3 is now a 2 because we regrouped, and now 1/2 is now the powerful,... 3/2! To further explain, I basically just added one of the 3's wholes which was magically turned into 2/2 which's the same thing as a whole was regrouped into the numerator which is now 3/2. 1/2+2/2=3/2. We now put the whole number and the fraction together, 2  3/2. 

4. I made equation, 2  3/2-1  2/2.  2  3/2-1  2/2=1  1/2
