I chose to do this because in the story Tell Tale Heart the man has a fake eye and thats what I modeled above with my brother. I edited the photo on the app Eye Tuner. I chose this eye because it looked old and technical.

Seminaar 7: Fragments
“Eyes are more accurate than ears”, that means that when you hear something it may not be correct. If you see something it could just be a rumor or something someone else heard. If you see something it is more likely to be right because you were there and you saw it.
Seminar 5: The Alchemist
My personal legend would be gong to Oregon University. I really want to follow in my cousins foot steps. she has a really good education and i want the same. I think the only “mysterious force” that would be holding me back is my mom. She wants me at home forever. I really want to get a good education and then I can come home. I don’t think that Im going to let her stop me. If I want something I go after it and I’m going to go after this. There’s no way she, or anyone else is gonna stop me. This is a dream that I have. What ever obstacles I have to face I won’t face them with out a fight. I will use all zest, grit and optimism I have.
Seminar 4: On Laziness
For my response to “On Laziness” I wrote a response to the picture on the back.
This picture shows how to lack self control and curiosity. It shows how people are not paying attention and just sitting, their not doing anything. How the monsters are playing with the people hen they are day dreaming shows lack or curiosity 100%. The monsters symbolize bad decisions. Thats not showing self control. Some monsters are being nice and some are being mean. The nice monsters mean that people have good thoughts. The bad people are just procrastinating and are making bad decisions. It shows you shouldn’t be lazy.
Seminar 3: How the Frog Lost his Tail
For this seminar response we had to right imagery, heres mine,…
“In his fury, he took away Frog’s tail and banished him from the well.” -from book
In his fury, he took away his tail and banished him from the well. He was so furious, he turned bright red and all the hairs on the back of his neck was standing straight up. -from me
Seminar 2: The Making of a Scientist
In seminar we read The making of a scientist and this was my response,
I think as a student you need knowledge, but you also need to be taught more than you know. You always need to be learning new things. To learn new things, you need to be paying attention.
I need my teacher because she makes me think to make me smarter. She makes me think by asking me questions and having me answer them. If she just told me all the information I wouldn’t remember it, but by asking questions it makes me think and i can remember it.
Where am I?
Where am I?
It was a cold, brisk morning and the sun was brightly shining down on the snow filled rooftops. The hot sun turned the freezing snow to light puddles all over the ground. They looked like swimming pools for tiny, little bugs . The puddles glistened in the sunlight shinning down at them. The birds were chirping loudly but not loud enough to disturb anybody. Puppies and their moms were wandering around, exploring things around them. One old man was brushing the snow off his windshield. There wasn’t anyone else outside because it was very early in the morning. The sun was shinning down on every house window in the village. Once it got later in the morning, more people started to wake up and greet their neighbors.
The people that started to wake up were little and were dressed very odd! They wore the colors of only green, gold, and red. The men of the village had green and gold striped tights that wrapped securely around their short, little legs. They had green pointy toed shoes on that curled up to the sky with gold bells on the tips. The men also had on green pointy hats with a red feather, that sat delicately on the side. The women of the village wore green boots with a gold buckle placed on the side. They had gold, sparkly tights on that tucked into their green boots. Their hats were green as well, but had a buckle instead of a feather. All of the village people had weird facial features. They had round noses, big, bright eyes, and long pointy ears. They had rosy, red cheeks and big, rosy red lips. They were all very friendly, even to new neighbors and visitors. They were even very loving, and affectionate to strangers.
Christmas was coming up and everyone was SO excited, they finally got to go to work again. The village people only get to work one-two months a year, November and December, Thanksgiving through Christmas. Christmas came up fast and before they knew it it was almost New Year’s. When the New year came around, winter was just about to end and spring was about to begin. As the snow melted away, flowers started to bloom and spring was finally here. There is only another year until this goes on again.
Letter to Queen Liliuokalani
Dear Queen Lilioukalani,
I’m sorry about the U.S taking over Hawaii, but I’m sure there is a silver lining to it. Now that they have a bought your land, you guys can share land and food and lots of other things. I feel really bad that they didn’t ask you how you felt about it or give you a say in the annexation. How did you ever survive in that tower? I could never be locked up. I would love to hear your side of the story and hear what you have to say about it. I feel its really not fair that they overthrew you, but what can you do? Like I said earlier, I would love to hear what you have to say about the annexation. So would you be willing to come to my school and speak in my class? I go to Old Town Academy in San Diego, California. Its along way away, but it will be worth it. I have some questions for you to answer when you get here.
-How do you feel about the new American gov’t? -Do you like not having as much work to do and not map was many decisions? -How did it feel to be locked in a tower twice? Sincerely, Maelee
The box
It was your typical hot Saturday afternoon when Emily and I had just finished watching a movie. Emily was dressed in navy blue Hollister jean shorts and a bright coral color camisole. She had white Vans on with just the slightest bit of dirt on them to give them color. I had on a dark black Rolling Stones tank top and black high waisted shorts with the shiniest gold buttons that went all the way up to the top of my waist. We had come out of the movies and were deciding what we were going to do next, we needed to get out of the heat. So we decided to shop.
We walked around for a while then finally ended up at Nordstrom. We couldn’t seem to leave and ended up there for several hours. Emily had told me that she was going down to the shoe department and I stayed at Jrs. We both proceeded on our own ways and were going to meet up later. When I was shopping I suddenly spotted an oddly beautiful brown box in the strangest place. It was under a big pile of unfolded graphic tees, just thrown on a table. It was shiny and smelled like newly fresh cut wood. The smell reminded me of Christmas time every year when the tree’s smell would flow throughout the whole house. I picked it up and flipped it over to find the price tag. It was $150.00 but I didn’t care, I had to have it. I purchased it and went to meet up with Emily. She bought a new pair of black and white tribal print Toms. When we got home I showed her the box realizing I hadn’t opened it.
Insulators and Conductors
This week in science we made circuit testers. We made them by striping wires and tapping them together then adding “alligator clips”. It had to light a light bulb. I tested mine on many different things. 10/20 different items worked. From salt water to white gold. The objects that worked are called conductors and the objects that didn’t are called insulators.
8/10 of the items that worked had metal in them and thats why it worked. If it didn’t have metal thats why it didn’t work and that was an insulator. I think the salt water worked bc when the “alligator clips” touched the salt water it made contact or they had a reaction to each other.
