Maxine's Imagination

Maxine is just a little girl that is just trying to find out who she is as a person. She uses her imagination to figure out things in life, and either make up an alternate way of thinking about something, or using it to help her better understand something so she does not feel so clueless. In any occasion she is just trying to figure herself out as a person.

6 Methods of Characterization

Appearance: My dads appearance was when he was young, so he probably looked like a little boy, and had nother really other than his looks to characterize him by. He was basically short, with a bowl cut for his hair style, and had a high pitched voice.

Inner thoughts/feelings: They were probably that he was curious, before he touched the stove that is, and then after he probably felt really sad. He probably felt this way because he had just burned his hand, and the maid didn't even stop him. He also thought that there was something really wrong with his hand since there was an intensely painful throbbing feeling coming from it.

Environment: The environment that my dad grew up in was New York. So he was probably learning how people were and acted since he was so young. His dad was very wealthy so he lived a good lifestyle and always had everything he needed and couldn't have any hardship since he was so young.

What They Say: My dad didn't really speak yet since he was so young... so there is nothing really to say for this.

Actions: His action was that he put his hand on the stove, and then got his hand burned. Those are the actions that he did.

Family Story

One of the family stories that my dad has told me when i was growing up was the story about his maid letting him burn his hand.

It started off with his maid making him some dinner one day and he was walking around the kitchen, and the stove was on. The stove was on max heat since she was trying to cook dinner, and the burners were all bright red since they were so hot. My dad walked around to the other side of the kitchen to where the stove was and looked at it for a second. At this point in his life he didn't know how to tell the difference between things that were hot or cold yet, so when he saw the burners glowing bright red he didn't that that meant that they were extremely hot. So the maid looked over and saw him reaching his hand out to touch the burners and then my dad looked at her, and she didn't stop him from touching them. She just stood there and watched. After my dad put his hand on the burner and burned the heck out of his hand she said, "Now you know not to touch things that are hot."

That maid was immidiately fired after that because my dad had to go to the hospital to treat his wounds. But thats also how he ended up teaching me, but he didn't let me touch the stove, he just let me get close and feel the heat. But this was one of the stories. It's basically how my dad and I learned to tell the difference between hot and cold.

Moral of the story... DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING THATS GLOWING RED... unless its a flashlight or a glow stick.

THE END

MOODLE...

What do I like about Moodle?

I like that we can message the entire class. I also like that we can do work and then have the rest of the class be able to read and comment on it to give us suggestions on what we can fix.

Creative ways to use Moodle?

We can use it to talk to all the other classmates and discuss certain topics. The teacher can also write something and we can all comment on it to help him out with whatever the task may be.

I wish that moodle could...

I wish that moodle could be able to get my anything i wanted in the world for free. I also wish it had a controller that could control time and could let me be able to stop time. I also wish that i could order something that would make me invisible so i could be sneaky and no one could see me. I also wish that i could type in a wish and it would always come true.

Lost Sister Quote

"And the daughters were greatful; they never left home. To move was a luxury stolen from them at birth."

This is an important quote because it shows what the life was like of a little chinese girl. It explains that they were never allowed to leave the house and they were like that from birth to present. It shows how the life of someone there was not a very good one. It also shows how little power the women have there. The fact that they can't even go outside of their own homes suggests that they had little freedom and just did what they were told. It makes it sound like they never saw the light of day and only were inside all of the time.

This poem shows that the way people live is the type of person they are going to be. Peoples surroundings affect them in every way. People's family also affect who they are because if the family is a mean family the kid will likely become an aggressive person too. The poem describes this girls life and how dim it is and unsatisfying it really is. The girl probably feels like this because of the harsh surroundings that she has grown up in for her entire life.

Introduction to mwah

I am a boy that loves action. I never have a dull moment in my life unless the people around me bring it upon me. I actually am a fan of writing poems that rhyme, because I like to rhyme a lot. Umm... I like to laugh A LOT. I like hanging out with friends, and going places. THE END!
