New Year Resolution

 I always enjoy drawing, whether it’s just a sketch or a doodle. This year, I want to work on drawing anatomy. Of course, human anatomy is hard to draw, but it would be a good start practicing so I can turn it into a habit.

I have never done a proper drawing for anatomy. I always draw big sweaters for humans so it would hide the hands; I’m guessing that’s a bad thing. I want to improve, if I want to get more into drawing.

I’m already looking at drawing references online, to fix bends and positions. I don’t look at references often, but I can search up more references, or make my own. I should start practicing drawing hands more often too. During Winter break, I barely drew anything. I should be drawing more often.

Another strategy that I use is paying attention to real life. Paying attention to things around you, such as patterns, details and other people can help you. By being more aware and observant of how the world looks and works, one can really improve their drawing skill.

The New Year is a great time to work on something new, or improve something you are already working on. I will try my best this year to improve my drawings.

Blog #7: How are August and Via wiser beyond their years?

I think Auggie and Via are getting wiser beyond their years because the more they get older the more they mature.

I think Auggie is getting wiser because he is getting more confident in life. He is getting more confident in life and towards others because he is learning that not everybody is going to look at Auggie like his family does so he is prepared for all the hate and criticism.

For the previous years of Auggie he never did anything as daring as school. School was probably the most bizarre idea in his curious little mind, but his parents did bring it up so that meant that he had to get more confident to face all the bullies at school. I think that made him wiser because he is trying something new. Whenever you try something you always have some sort of worry or doubt about yourself but that’s a good thing, it’s a good thing because whenever you have some sort of doubt are worry about yourself its telling you, you can’t do it but the only way you can overcome that is to “Just do it.” It made Auggie wise because he was thinking of all the thought that came into his head and he tried to put it behind him.

Auggie is wise because he is also really smart. In the previous years of him, he was home schooled so people thought that made him dumb. When he entered school he blew everybody away with his smarts. People were doubting him and criticizing him like “Your home schooled you can never catch up with us,” and” You are stupid.” He didn’t care what he said and he just blew everyone away, most importantly Jack will. So I think that made him wiser and more confident as a person and as a student.

I think Via is getting wiser throughout her years because she is slowly becoming more independent. She is getting more independent each year she grows up, for example a few years back she didn’t need her parents to help her do her homework or anything, a couple weeks ago she took the subway by herself with nobody. When she is doing all these things like a women she need to be wise when she is doing anything. For example she is walking to the subway then somebody offers her drugs she needs to know that it’s wrong to accept it and just walk away.

Another reason why Via is getting wiser is that she doesn’t have any close friends that can hold her down. I think this because when you have friends that are really annoying it’s really hard to focus on what you need to do and not get distracted. I personally think that I can work with people that make that talk really loud because sometimes they make me laugh.

I think Auggie and via are becoming wiser beyond their years because of how much courage they gained and how independent they got, and you know what you say The more you grow the more you know!

 

New Year’s Resolution

This New Year, my resolution is to improve on my math. I am planning on working on my multiplication and division. I always find myself stuck on some questions so I want a better understanding of my times table and division tables. Sometimes I also rely on a calculator if I don’t understand or know the question but I don’t want to do this anymore. I already told my mom to buy some flash cards or math text books so I can work on them and understand the multiplying and dividing questions. I will work on my flash cards with my aunt every day for 15 minutes. I will do 2 pages a day in my text book and tell my aunt to ask me random multiplication questions from 1 to 12 while I’m eating dinner. I hope better practice will get me a better grade this year!

Blog #8 New Year’s Resolution

Every New Year I come up with resolutions to help me live my life better. This year, I would like to spend more time focusing on my education. This resolution is important to me because it helps me learn how to control the thing in my life and myself.
Last year, and even some years before that, there were a lot of difficulties I was experiencing, including rumours, gossip, girl drama, and people moving away. Because of this, my mind was wandering a lot, and I got easily distracted. Sometimes I got off task, or I wasn’t paying attention. That’s why I’ve gotten the idea to focus on my studies and not about catching up on trends or having quarrels with other people. I plan to finish my work on time and not to procrastinate because it leads to failing grades. I already have a schedule for each of my activities to help me segregate and organize my stuff. Sometimes at night I start my homework late, which means I end up sleeping really late. Of course I may not always be where I’m supposed to be at times, but I’ll just look out for myself so that I won’t get overloaded with the pressure.
In 2017 I think it will be a really great year, not only because I understand what I didn’t understand before but because 2017 has already gotten off to an awesome start. Although this year it seems like the days are longer, I’m sure I can focus as hard as I can on my education.

Blog#8 New Year’s Resolutions

” The New Years is always a great time to change and better yourself. Maybe last year, you were too quiet that no one could hear you. In my case, that would be me.

My goal for this year is to be less shy. There’s no problem with being shy, but when it comes to the point that it effects your grades. You’re going to want to change it as soon as possible.

I think that I should do this because in the last two years, I have been too shy to do anything, because of this I have missed so many opportunities to better my grades and my social life.

One of the ways I can achieve my goal is to practice talking louder and taking more risks. Making eye contact during my speeches in front of the class or the school. I can

“The quietest people have the loudest minds.”

     Jack’s Perspective Blog#9

“Now here is my secret. It is only with one’s heart that one can see clearly what is essential is invisible to the eye” ­–Antoine de Saint Exupery

I think this quote is related to jack because they do not have things that are essential that we average people have. Such as water and food because as we learned is the story jack and his parents don’t have much money. Not having very much money can lead to very negative things like having no home , food and water as I mentioned before.

Jack and his parents are very positive and try to think positively even if the problem is big or small here is an example of what I mean. When Auggie, Amos, Henry and Jack were running away from the 7th graders after they think they lost them they were hiding behind a tree, and everyone was high-fiving each other jack was very happy and was thinking positively. He was trying to think that they will make it back to the camp and not get lost. He was not thinking that they will get lost and never make it back again. That was just one example of jack thing positively but there is many more that I didn’t cover in this paragraph.

I think jack does have access to water and food but not much of it that is why Julian is rude to jack because Julian is very rich and spoiled while jack does not have much but is still happy with what he has. Julian he being rude to jack for hanging around Auggie because Julian did not like Auggie in the first place but to see his friend hanging around him just made him even more mad. That is why Julian is bullying Jack because he did not want to lose a friend so he was trying in every way to be rude to him and occasionally would try to get jack back on to his side.

My conclusion will state everything I have previously talked about. So I think that jack has access to water/food but not much of it and that jack is always friendly and in a positive mood every day. Jack is overall a good person and have a lot for good things about him but still has some things to fix like not talking trash to his friends. But that is all I will state in this blog there is still much to cover in future blogs about different characters in wonder. There is not much more to say about jack he could use some improvement like I said before and he is very smart and joyful. And with this I will conclude my blog.

 

Blog #8: My New Year’s Resolution

I always enjoy making my new year’s resolution in January. For 2017, I’m going to improve my knowledge of Science and Social studies. I’m planning to learn more about the English vocabulary about Science, and natural resources in Canada. This is important to me because last year, I couldn’t understand the Science vocabulary, so I didn’t know what we were talking about in class.

On my Science project and report card, I got a “C-“. I want to improve my Social studies grades, too, because I don’t know that much about natural resources in Canada. I feel very badly about that. To do this, I’ll read more books at the library to improve my knowledge, I’m going to research natural resources in Canada on the computer. I have a strict plan for learning.

In these ways, I’ll fulfill my new year’s resolution in 2017.

Blog# 9 Jack’s Perspective

I think that Auggie is very important to Jack because he think Auggie is a very good friend, and he was very sorry about hurting Auggie, Jack say if you can chose anyone in the class he will chose Auggie.

In the story have a part Julian and Jamie was talking about something bad about Auggie, they say when they saw Auggie he has nightmare and they say if they saw Auggie, is like watching scary movie.

Auggie doesn’t want to be friend with Jack because Jack hurt Auggie, so Jack was trying to be friend with Auggie, and he what to find out why.

He went to ask Auggie’s friend why he was feeling so bad, Jack was very sorry and he what to be friend with Auggie, but no one tell Jack why, but he only hear bleeding scram. Jack doesn’t understand what’s that mean, but he still want to be friend with Auggie.

I think that Jack’s Perspective is talk about if you don’t use your heart to hear or say, you well never understand.

 

Blog #8 – New Year’s Resolution

A New Year’s resolution is when people set goals in the New Year, which might make their lives better.

For, 2017 resolution is to wake up earlier so that I don’t feel so tired during the day.

The reasons because of this are I get too tired during the day and I feel like I wanted to sleep. Sometimes I can’t think very well if I am sleepy, just like the time I am writing this. Some ways I can achieve this goal are, go to sleep early or sleep longer. I am going to sleep at 9:3O instead after 1O:OO. I also will do stuff to wake me up, like drinking and eating.

That’s the reason and explanation of my New Year resolution, not being tired.

Blog#8 New Year’s Resolution

I always enjoy a new year. Last year I always played video games, this year I want to spend more time on learning math and science. I want to make my report card grades better in this subjects.

Last year, my math and my science work was very bad, when my parent saw my report card, they said I needed to get A or B, but I got C+. I will study more, in math, I will learn about Canadian money. My plan is that next time my parent go out to do shopping, I need to go with them, not stay home and play video games. When my parent buy something, I need to count how much it cost I want to figure out how to make change. I need to practice using Canadian money, this will help my math. For science I want to read more books about space. I plan every times, when I go to library I need to get least one books about Science

I hope get a better grade on my next report card.
