Time Traveling :)

One day while I was sitting down watching TV my cousin came for a visit. Then out of no where she told me that she had this cool video to me on YouTube. So we logged on and waited till the computer was fully loaded. Then on YouTube we typed in time traveling caught on tape. With just a click all these videos popped up. So we picked one to watch and it was this video from an old TV show and in one of the episodes this women in the background walking by and it looked like she was talking on the phone. It was very freaky because that show was from a long time ago and by that time there wasn’t any phones around. My eyes got big! After that video I started searching for more just thinking about other amazing things i could find.
Then all of a sudden I saw a video that was named “Time traveling with evidence” or something like that. Anyways my point is that when i watched it i was like WHOA!! It was about this man that had a leak under his sink and while he was fixing it he felt weird and he said it was like he hit his head. When he got up from the sink he said everything looked normal but when he went outside to see where his family was he was surprise and confused because of what he saw. When he had realized that he was looking at himself but older. At that moment he didn't know what to do, if i was him i would be really confused and i would be asking alot of questions, then he talked to his older self and they just started being friendly. The YouTube video was like an interview and when he showed the video he had for evidence that he was in the future it was him beside himself  and they were smiling. Then they both showed the tattoos they had on the same arm. Whoa it was crazy my cousin and me were surprised. Then we watched some other crazy videos on YouTube.
After that video we watched more and more until she had to leave. That was a really fun day. But then i thought in my head. "Can't time traveling affect the future and the past''? Like it will really mess up everything. For example if you go to the past and show them about electricity, they will have electricity and when you go back to your present it will be more advance. But i guess these people didn't affect anything. Thanks for reading my blog ! :)

My Childhood :D

     There we were Meliza and her soft brown skin not too dark and not too light but just the right color. Well of course me and my short self was there too, so there we were sitting on the slide staring into space and thinking about our futures. Hoping that the day we will be able to get on the"Big Playground". Yeah., that's what we called the playground on the other side of the fence. You know since we were only in kindergarten we couldn't go to the other playground because that's where the older kids went and the teachers didn't want no accidents to occur. But yeah there we were thinking , even though we were young Meliza and me always wondered how our future will turn out. I've always wanted to be a teacher because I love helping and working with other people. I don't know if I still wanna be a teacher, now I kinda want to be a famous soccer player or be a hairstylist. Things change as you get older but if you really want to accomplish your dream, you need to try hard and get good grades. Even if its very difficult it will at least get you somewhere in life.    
     Anyways I have this very funny and unusual experience from when I was in Elementary. When I was in either third or fourth grade. I was with this friend named Allison and we were just going outside when suddenly I hear teachers yelling "Catch That kid".! I was like what ?! Then I saw my friend running as fast as he could, it wasnt long before I reacted and noticed he was being chased by the teacher that was yelling. Whoaa it was like he was famous or something because everybody just stopped what they were doing and stared at him. It was crazy. After a while he stopped and thats when we see the principle approaching him with a mad look on his face. After that I guess he got suspended, but the real mystery is that no one knows what he did. Many say he spit in a teachers face but I don't belive that. Well yeah I never knew that someting like that would happend.
     This was some of the experiances I will never forget from Elementary. You see "School is like my second home, I feel safe and loved by friends, its like a wish come true". What are some of your sexperiancnes in Elementary that are always on your mind?

Hunger Games Research Project

          Imagine being picked to fight till death just for the intertainment of other people! Well thats how Katiness is feeling when she goes to the reaping and they pick her sisters name out of the bowl. Can you believe her name was in there only once and out of like 1000 other names they had to pick PrimRose Everdeen!!! Thats not fair and I would do the same thing Katiness did. I would volunteer so i take my sisters place so nothing bad can happend to her. Plus Katiness is the one with the skills because she goes to the woods and shoots her bow and arrow and practices with Gale her best guy friend. Anyways back to the reaping. The boy tribute,which thats what they call the people they choose for the hunger games, is Petta Malark. That means this is one of the people that Katiness is gonna need to kill so she can survive and win.But yeah so it then turns out that Haymitch, districts 12 only surviver of the hunger games, wants Katiness to be in love with each other and yeahh. So then the hunger games start and Peeta betrays Katiness. Rue and Katiness form an alliance. Then later on she dies and the capital changes the rules so Katiness and Peeta can work together. At the end They win and she actually do fall in love forreal :)(Hunger Games book)
          The Gladiators are very similar to the Hunger Games because they both  made innocent people do it and they had to fight to survive. Also in the book they fought against some weird looking creatures and Gladiators sometimes needed to fight against tigers or other sorts of animals. The matches took place in a arena just like in the hunger games!(Chris) One of the main reason its alot like the hunger games is because its to entertain the public or who ever is watching it. Well when I was researching I found out that some of the fighters in the arena were volunteers and this really relates alot to Katiness.("Gladiator.") Well yeah can you imagine that the Gladiators have alot of similar things with the hunger games!? This was one of the authors inspiration on writing the book. 
          Now we are going to talk about throwing an arrow and the techniques you need to have to be a good bow and arrow shooter. Well first off all Shooting an arrow has been around for a very long time and its basically used for the same thing. You know hunting and combat.(Jimmy) Well I think to be a very good bow and arrow shooter you must have really good aim and you should practice alot. That's what Katiness did out in the woods with Gale so that is how she got an 11 when they saw her performance. But yeah, Well this might be a little off topic but I think its important,here we go. Katiness's dad died in a mine explosion but before all that happend he showed her his hunting skills and he taught her also he made her a bow and arrow. So I am pretty sure thats the only reason she is good but thats a good thing because she won't die of hunger cause she knows how to hunt for animals.
          Well now you know a big chunk of Katiness's life and depending on what type of person you are will also depend what u would do if you were in her situation. Like i said before I would take my sisters place just for one reason and thats becasue I lovc her. Would you ? Anyways an amazing thing is that you now know information about the Gladiators and how they use to battle back in those times. Im glad we stopped that becasue i wouldn't enjoy watching people sufer. Also to be a good bow and arrow shooter like Katiness with what i wrote to you about it will help you become a better one. Thanks for taking your time and reading this. (Emeli)

Comparing my Personality with a Character xD

Okay :) Well  i think i am more like Rue because i like to be sneaky around people. Also me and her have a some things in common like we are both small but fast and brave! Another reason i am like Rue is because i love to climb trees and if i was in the hunger games i would most likely want to hide away from everyone so they will kill each other and I would know their little secrets like Rue did with the careers.!!! BUT!!! At the same time i feel like Katiness because i love to go explore also if i knew how to throw a bow-and-arrow i would definitely want to hunt some animals. Like i also feel i am more like her because i sometimes have the same ''love'' problem like her. I can't make out who i like and i am with one person maybe the other one will get mad and then drama ! But in katiness case its much bigger because she has known Gale longer and Peeta a little while and she already kissed him. i was like OMG O.o yeah that's what i think....Although the main reason i am like Katiness is cause i would surely stand up for my sister if she got chosen to be in the Hunger Games:DD

Chapter 18 :)

Well first of all can you imagine that Rue DIES!!!! Thats messed up , isn't? If I was Katiness I would feel the same way as she did. But the good thing about it is that since Katiness killed the boy from district 1 now she wont be afraid to kill the rest of the carrers. I kinda think that Katiness likes peeta because she is always mentioning him at some point in the book.  Do you think the same ? Its unbeliveable how they changed a rule of the  Hunger Games!!  Now both memebers from the district can win if they are both alive ! Thats insane bu ti think its very fair because since they are from the same district they are friends and so they won't need to kill each other. See this is why i think katiness does like peeta.. At the end she blurts out his name plus that was the first thing in her mind. I would not do  that because he is such a back stabber >:( But yeah these are my Toughtful thoughtd about the hunger Games Chapter

Bow and Arrow represents Katiness :)

Hunger Games Reading Response

Oh my goodness ! I can not believe that Peeta actually had alot of bruises on his face. This means he fought someoone and i would have never thought he would do such thing. Then when i finished reading it said he was going to finish the poor girl i mean who who ever imagine Peeta doing that horrible thing?! Well i know i wouldn't but guess what!, he did finish her ..He killed her ! I was very surprise. But the funny thing is that the Careers are just using him to find Katiness. Thats the only reason he is still alive. Well back to Katiness...she found WATER :) and she was so happy, wouldn't you? Anyways you know how the gamemakers want thier audiance to be happy for what they are watching right? Well since no one has died they started to throw fire balls at Katiness. I feel like that is messed up how they care so much how thier audiance feels,but at the same time if i was watching the Hunger Games and no one was dying i would  be so bored, Whats your opinon about this ?Okai well now back to  Katiness's actions again, well she was on the tree and she suddenly saw to big eyes and she figured out that it was Rue. She gave Katiness a great idea that defeated the careers waitng to kill her. (: She threw a nest of Tracker Jackers on them although she got stung three times which had a bad effect on her!!

Stradegy Quick Write :)

I think good strategies that the people can use at the hunger games are to make very good traps so the other contestants can fall for them and get trapped so they can be killed. Or another idea can be to, try to make your own weapons. This idea will match perfectly with Katiness because since her dad use to make Bow and Arrows she can close her eyes and try to remember how to do one. One of my perfect ideas that i came up with is to hide either in a bush or tree and then when a person from another district comes you instantly jump on their back and start to attack them! These are some of my ideas that i think will work well when you get chosen for the Hunger Games.  :)
