     The  Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a very fun book to read. I like it because it is an easy read, its funny, and it is written in a teenagers perspective. He goes through some tough times in middle school as an Indian at a white high school. He writes about them in a diary, and draws pictures to make readers better grasp the image. I find this very helpful when reading the book.      He gets in situations between the white people for being Indian, and the Indians that he lives with in an Indian reserve for being in a white school. It is all expressed in a light hearted way though so it is easier to connect with. I like this book and can not wait to read more 

     My topic to my research project is D-Day. I think it is very interesting because i have always thought that World War II is very interesting. It is a horrible war that happened in the past that included most of the powerful countries in the world. About 500,000 people died in the horrific battle of D-Day.      I think it is important for people to know about the history of the world. This is a huge part of history because D-Day was the beginning of the end of World War II. It was a terrible thing that happened, but people should know about it.

My snow day was not as eventful as most because I was laying in bed sick with the flu. I could not go anywhere because I could risk getting other people sick. Although i could not go outside because i felt so bad my mom showed me some pictures of the pretty snow. I could not have gotten luckier because i did not miss any school with my sickness because I was well by Friday came around.

     My research topic is very interesting to me, and makes the project more fun than if i had a boring topic. I am doing just fine with all the steps except one. I am having a little trouble with the notecards. I feel like I am doing it wrong, but I do not know. I think this is a fun project and interesting.

     The past semester was very stressful. I was very nervous going into a brand new school, and on top of that it was high school. Although I knew some people i was still nervous. Besides that, the worst thing about the semester were the exams.      Some things that I have learned from last semester are be yourself no matter what, be respectful, and do not procrastinate. Be yourself all the time, and do not care what people think because they are only trying to bring you down. If you be respectful to your teachers it will get you far in life. Finally do not wait to the last minute to do all your homework/studying. It will not work.

     I trust my brother a lot in my life. i can tell him things that nobody else knows, and he will not tell anybody it. It is great having somebody to trust because you can tell them anything. My brother also trusts me, so he tells me stuff about his life too.      I know i can trust my brother because because I know he trusts me ,and he does not want to lose my trust. If he did break my trust or I broke his trust our bond would not be the same as it was earlier. That day has not come however, I hope it never comes. I trust my brother.
