Greek God Ares

   The god I am doing is called Ares he is a Greek god. Ares seen as either a , bearded warrior dressed in battle arms, or a  beardless man with helm and spear.At Athens he had a temple containing a statue made by Alcamenes. Ares was arrogant, aggressive, athletic, muscular and fit. This god had the power to start wars so people were careful about arguing.

I chose this god because he can bring death upon the world wherever and whenever. He can cause a lot of chaos that people don't want. So you have to be careful with Ares. I would respect this god because once again he can cause tons of deaths whenever he wants.His greatest strengths were being a strong man and causing chaos. His weakness is getting wounds and going to his mom Hera to fix them.

            Crazy Man Makes Lighting Strike

  Breaking  news!!! Men sitting off the coast fishing were all zapped by lightning. Everyone saw the lightning suddenly strike the ground. Everyone lived in good condition without any burns. It was very loud and scared the whole city.  It was unusual because it was a perfect sunny day at about 3:00. This was unusual because in LA there was barely any thunderstorms.

   Witnesses say it was over 160 degrees in that area. One of the men that was shocked with lightning said “I saw some big man come out of the sky with a lightning bolt in his hand.” Most people saw it too they were all scared and all fled. All of the men fishing said they got a rush of adrenaline and were all okay after it. No one knew what the man was called so they called him Lighting Man.

    Everyone was frightened for themselves and wondered if other people saw it too.People were worried for others around that area. Everything turned out okay and everyone was safe. People just wondered what caused it and why. It came out to a Great story and was mysterious. Im Bob Karley and thank you for reading.

   I really like this book because of it's good structure. There is a cliffhanger at the end of every paragraph. There is so much suspense in the book and the dialogue plays a major roll in it. I would recommend this book to my friends because they like scary stories and suspense. The end is written so well it has a very good cliffhanger. I have to say this is o ne of the best books I have ever read.

 

 

 

 

I challenge you to read this book. Comment how it was if it was good or bad. No SPOILERS! Thank you for reading

Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein was born on September 25th 1930. He was born in Chicago,Illinois. He died in 1999 in Key West Florida from a heart attack. He had a great desire to be popular among women and be a sportsman that didn't work out. That inspired him to be a poet. He was enlisted in the army in 1950. He was a musician and composer.

There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire--
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda,
He's licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there--
That Polary Bear
In our Fridgitydaire.

 I think he is talking about a person that is super hungry.It stuck out because we had to pick a poem in the 4th grade so I picked this one.I relate to this poem because some times I just want to eat everything in my refrigerator. There is no feeling to this he is just telling.

The rhyme scheme is a,a,a,b,c,d,c,e,f,g,f,h,h,i,i,j,j. The repetition is There's a Polar Bear

In our Frigidaire and That Polary Bear In our Fridgitydaire. The style is a rhyming poem. Using personification and alliteration would make this more interesting if it were a story.

See if you can find out how many poems SHel Silverstien made and comment them. 

Is it worth it?

You can spend almost $300 for a $30 pair of shoes or jeans. Currently, people are arguing about whether brands should be over priced for no reason. I believe this is a good marketing tactics because Nike and Uggs are bought a lot. this is a great way to make money and they are higher quality.Also you get new shoes or a new popular game you will be considered “cool”.

Selling things like this is a really good way of marketing. If you overprice something and make it look cool everyone will buy it and it will make you good money. Even if it looks bad kids will buy it because its from Nike or from Uggs. If a smaller company makes better or the same shoes for 50 dollars less kids won’t but it because it’s all about the brand. Also if you have shoes that aren’t from a popular brand and you buy some you will never wear any other shoes. Companies are earning big money

They are higher quality shoes or merchandise. Not everything expensive is cheap. Most of the time you will get amazing material with shoe brands and clothes. You will probably not break them because of the material they're made  of. Most of the jean material is worth 300 dollars or more. You are getting what you paid for. Although some companies have very cheap material and still make money off it.

You will have more friends and be more popular. It is true that if you have one of these cool brands you will be more popular. It works like this If you have a game like call of Duty one of the best selling games ever you will have more friends if you play it, at least here is how it is. So if you have cool Nike shoes you will have more friends. thats just how the new generation works.

Even though, they use good material it could still be 100 dollars then it usually is. Even though you can have more “friends” your parents might not have enough money for Uggs or Nike shoes. Also video games can be 60 dollars and consoles  like the Xbox One can be over 500 dollars so if you want a game the total is $500 plus tax. Shoes like the Kobe 9’s are that expensive and it is worth it for a console but shoes maybe not. even though I prefer expensive brands i have to agree with these.

I think it is worth it to buy expensive brand shoes or merchandise. It is made out of good materialy,you are giving money to the company you like and you can become “popular”.It is good for companies it makes them more then 10,000,000 dollars a year. I think over pricing things is a good thing for companies and for customers.  

Did Aliens Build Statues on Easter Island?

            Did Aliens Make the Easter Island statues? People wonder how the statues got there in the first place. Currently, there is an argument whether the statues on Easter Island moved by themselves or if people moved them. It is a mystery that most likely will never be solved. I think it moved by itself because there were few people and it was huge and heavy.

They would have never been strong enough to move it 1,000 feet. According to the  article it was  33 feet tall and 80 tons. Also in the article it said they didn't have horses cars or wheels.No one knows how they got there. One more fat was that the rocks that they were built of were never on the Island.


 Did a spaceship bring them there? No one knows because it was more then 1,000 years ago. People live there it is considered a part of Chile. Those people don't even know who it happened and over 5,000 inhabit there. It is scary because they could have been aliens.


\




 I think they might have come from a spaceship or the statue had some type of alien power to move itself. Also the humans were very advanced because they knew how to plow crops. Also, they had to of had some alien technology like a truck because there was no way they could have gotten up the hill. I honestly think they had alien powers and they had very advanced technology.

My challenge to you is to make a theory about how they got there. You should send me a link to the theory. You can have your own opinion.

Instagram

         Instagram is a social website that you can take pictures of anything and people can like and comment. It is very popular and has over 500,000,000 users and growing. Most users are teenagers a lot of kids and little adults use it. You can make 15 second videos to do anything you want. You can tag other people by using @ and it goes straight to them. 

     You can make a lot of friends and see your friends and make new ones. It is probably one of the only websites based on only pictures. It is a good idea and why it is so popular and had so much success. There is now a direct message that you can separately talk to someone if they don't have a phone. Instagram has a good way of marketing.

           Instagram has made a lot of money for how long it's been open.  They are making money of of peoples posts and other things. They were made by face book and Facebook is the most used social website ever. They have been successful and will keep being successful.

Steve Jobs

       

               Steve Jobs was a very popular tech designer. He was the Boss of the Apple company. You probably have an iPhone or an I pod or I pad. He was born on February 24th 1955 in San Francisco. His parents were University graduates and were very smart. Steve was put up for adoption by his biological parents. His dad that had adopted him taught him how to put chips together. His father was a genius with tech. He had taught Steve the basics of how to build tech. His biological had had another child and did not give her away for adoption. he made 1 billion dollars from the apple II. He bought Pixar Studios which later collaborated with Disney. Steve got kicked out of apple because of the failures. Apple was number in the world for selling songs behind Walmart. Steve dropped out of college after 18 months. He drove without a licence plate for years.

      Steve Jobs said many great quotes here are a few of them.   "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected." This quote is true you should always try your best and try to look professional. Always look good at what your doing. "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." This means create something yourself and it could be successful.Also, don't always follow be a leader."Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations." This means don't eat yourself up on one thing and move on. Also, you shouldn't always be mad about failing.


Steve Jobs made Apple 1 billion dollars by making the Apple II. It was so ahead of it's time it was amazing. He bought Pixar after he got kicked out of Apple then when he came back to apple he made the amazing iPhone and iPod which got way more money then the Apple II. When he made the iPad it made more then 1.5 billion dollars and was one of the best selling thing in 2010. I respect him because he was a good man and I enjoy his products. If it wasn't for Steve coming back Apple wouldn't exist without the mac book or the I phone, I mac and many more. Steve jobs was loved in his final years.

                         Why are batteries different sizes?

 In 1749 Ben Franklin battery to describe the set of linked capacitors he used to conduct .  In the 1800's and 1900's was when batteries became a popular power source. Bigger things needed more power thus  needing a bigger battery for more power. Since technology was getting smaller and smaller they needed smaller batteries. In 1924 they decided what the batteries were going to be called.









                                        In my opinion I think batteries are very important. They are in basically in all technology. It is all that we use most of the time. They are in I pods , computers cars and etc. Over time, some of the types of batteries simply died out, because they were no longer used in any products. For example, you won’t find any “B” batteries in most stores today.







                  Why are batteries in everything?


There has to be something to power everything and that is  batteries. Batteries are probably even in headphones and microphones. There are types of batteries that you can't change and most you can change. The most common batteries are AA batteries.

                                   Is a computer bug an insect? 
    
       Can you live without technology or computers? Computers
aren't perfect as you know they have flaws called bugs. The 
programs like paint.ms , PowerPoint and Microsoft word. If 
you want a program that has no bugs or flaws it will be 
nearly virtually impossible if you code some big program.
 Of course you would have to check everything out before you release it. In 1947 was when the first bug was found in Harvard.





                                     My opinion


  I want to get into coding I always thought it was an interesting topic. There is no way you can be perfect or your work to be perfect. There will always be flaws that people don't like that are annoying.I think when I start coding I will check it over then release it a year checking it. If you start coding at a young age you will get a really good job.
