The Characterd of Tom Sawyer.

Tom sawyer is the kind of guy with a personality that flies there way into life and takes the consequences as they come. Even blame others for it. He pulls pranks and laughs at lots of thing. Maybe he can push thing a little to fa at times. Tom Sawyer's personality is like most of the kids personality back in the day. Getting a little rumbustious to make up for the time he has to stay in school.In matter of fact, he sometimes skips school and just hangs with his lasting friend Huckleberry Fin. I believe his motivation is that he does whatever he wants to do with out thinking or caring and sliding through the punishments that he gets and living on with it. Tom has his strange beliefs and believe whatever sounds good. For instance he believed about the "spunk water" getting rid of your warts. Tom i just this crazy little boy with a mind so wide with adventure he doesn't always see the reality and just lives his own way and on his own rules. I mean if you were 10 or 9 wouldn't all of wanted to do was has fun? No school, no parents nagging, and especially going to a boring church and sitting listen to a boring reverend talk for hours. As I read this it always makes me realize that when your with Tom you will never get bored because his imagination is as wide as the galaxy and his adventures are not so far behind. Mostly Tom could do whatever he wants mostly for lying and cheating his way around it.
  Huckleberry Finn a boy no parent wants their child to be friends with has lots of respect from the kid and a lot from Tom also because they has lots of things in common They do whatever they ant and cheat thorough everything and has a wide imagination and adventurous mind. Its pretty obvious how him and Tom clicked and became friends right off the bat but I think Huck's motivation and personality is more stronger than Toms. When thy were both in the Graveyard and jut saw the crime Tom was just panicking and worrying but Huckleberry was say that thy will never tell and sign their initials with their blood. I do not think that Tom would of never thought of that and might of just told the police or just not talk about what people are talking about.Huckleberry is just a boy full of energy ad fun

Becky Thatcher is the kind of girl takes everything seriously and to me she is trying to grow up and be older than how she is now because she wanted to get married and make it serious.She just couldn't except the fact that Tom was already married and had to decline his question.Becky might be the over achievers in class and the neat freak to me it sound like. She beliefs in same with more older people and staying on task and getting things done what she needs to do. I don't think she will be like Tom and goof off whenever she wants. First she needs to get her job done and that's is what her motivation is. I don't think Becky belongs in her age group because she sounds more mature than some kids and more thoughtful to others.
  Aunt Polly is just like any other parents with a wild child like Tom. She makes sure Tom gets punished for what he did and she makes sure that they are safe. Aunt Polly is a nice women because she knows what happened to Tom and his parents and feels sympathy for him and wants him to grow up being successful and treats him like her own son. The might be hard for some other people but i think shes doing a good job. And it doesn't sound like Tom is to easy to handle with all his adventures and pranks on everyone. When Tom was sick and Becky gave him medicine Aunt Polly knew exactly right away what to do. Aunt Polly is very patient and she beliefs and motivation is that not to have to much fun I think. Because kids will be kids with there games but don't do and look for trouble to happen.
  Injun Joe is the bad guy in the story, just nobody knows that and blames it on the Innocent Mr. Potter. Injun Joe I don't think has lots of friends because he drags them away with the lies and the con that he gets from everybody else. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even have a family. I think Injun Joes motivation and belief is that just do what you want and ignore the consequences. Like at the graveyard he killed the Doctor and blames it on poor Mr. potter when he was drunk and even Mr. Potter thought that he did it. Injun Joe is not clever or sneaky he is just rude and cant fess up to what he did.

Lost Memories

  My mom never did anything wrong. So why is does she have to suffer from cancer? We knew about her sickness a couple years ago and I told myself she can get through this and she’s strong, but as I am seeing her in her bed the doctors strolling her bed to the operation room she looked so weak. I knew this as the last of her. As I opened my eyes I saw the nurse come towards my direction I saw her face pale white and that could only mean one thing. When she came and talked to me her words blurred out and I was thinking to myself what am I going to do. I cant live with my dad. Him and my mom spilt long time ago and now he has a new family somewhere in Michigan. I went outside the hospital and ran away to get my head clear. Somewhere in the woods so no one can see how ridiculous I look crying like a fool. Without thinking I ran and didn’t have a care in the world where I was. After about 40 minutes I stopped and came upon a cliff. One part of me said jump and be with my mom, but the other side said stop and think do you really want this? I sat down on the ground and searched my backpack I still had on since I left early and went to the hospital. When search through my backpack for food I saw my notebook and got an idea. I was going to do everything I want to do in life before I die. Then I will think whether to jump or not.
 I was writing and writing for what seemed like 10 minutes but actually was 2 hours. When I looked at the progress I have made I saw that there was more then a whole page of adventures worth doing, even it was dangerous I kept telling myself that you only have one life on this earth, one chance. I wiped off the tears that was still in my eyes and got my phone out. It was 10:38 pm and I got up and headed home, even though I had no idea where that was. Finally when I got home it was 1:02am and I directly dozed off. RING RING RING that was my alarm clock for school as I got up and looked at myself I started to think of my mom and I started to bawl out crying. For hours I was in my bathroom crying then the pone rang and I tried to pull back the tears. “Hello?” I said, it was the school counselor, they knew why I wasn’t at school and asked if anybody was with my or wanting to send someone there so I wouldn’t be alone. “Thanks, but no thanks” I replied then hung up. In the last 24 hours I looked back and thought when I was the happiest, then I remember when I was making that list. I ran to get my backpack and wiped off the dirt covered in it then got out my notebook. After I read it I thought to myself is this who I am do will I actually do these things?
37) Climb to the top of Mt. Everest
38) Skydive with someone you hate
39) Tell everyone you see at school and tell them what is on your mind about them.
  As I was reading this I decided to start now and tell myself, there’s on time like the present. I headed out the door with my notebook and read #1.
As I headed in the motorcycle dealer store I just turned 17 and I always wanted to ride a motorcycle. When they said I could rent one for a day instead of wasting 100’s of dollars is a class I looked it up online. After about 30 minutes researching I put my helmet on and started the engine. As I was at an open parking lot teaching myself how to ride this vehicle I started getting the hang of it. I rode all around the parking lot. I thought I was getting good so I went out on an actual rode where other cars were.
  “What are you looking at?” I mouthed off to the people that were looking at me strange and some rude kids were laughing at me. A teenager girl with jeans and a jacket on riding a huge motorcycle as I went started to drift my attention away from the wheel I crashed into the sidewalk. Good thing nothing and no one was hurt. I returned the motorcycle and I could hear one of the dealers talking about me. I ignored him and went home. As I opened the door I threw the notebook on the couch and lay down on top of it. As I saw my cell phone I saw I had 4 new voicemail. I checked who it was and it was all from my father.
“Of course he calls now. “ I said aloud too myself. After listening to all the messages he just said how he is sorry and his fake sympathy made me chuckle. He wanted me to come and live with him. I knew sooner or later the police would come and make me stay with him until I turn 18. Then I am free again. I decided to go back to do then next thing on my list,
  2) Bungee jump over a bridge.
With my moms inheritance I could do whatever and spend whatever. When I walked over to the computer and typed in “bungee jumping “ I came across somewhere really close to my house. I got in my moms car and drove off. About an hour drive it took and as I went up the bridge the wind was going about 20 mph. As I put on the suit and harness it looked like my hands were shaking faster than a cell phone on vibrate. When I got in line I saw these one guy looks like in his mid 30’s jumping off a bridge. As he jumped off I could hear him scream as it faded away every second.
“Oh no, I’m next.” I thought to myself, the person who worked there hooked me up to the cord. I guess he was someone new because he stuttered to tighten the harness which made me freak out even more. I told myself that I have to do this and without knowing it my feet were in the air. I was enjoying the couple 3 seconds before I heard a crack.
“What the?” I said to myself as the harness loosened and I was falling down with no harness or parachute into the water. I closed my eyes and didn’t feel anything.
  As I woke up, I was in the hospital, strange people came up to me and I would see the tear filling in ones eyes. “Where am I, who are you?” I said I was so confused I didn’t know anything my mind was blank.
“I am your father.” A man with glasses and someone who looks like haven’t shaved in weeks said. “When you went in the river you hit your head knocking out my memory.” He said hold back the tears. ”So I have amnesia?” I pondered trying to get my memory back. This girl who looked around the same age as me handed my backpack that was filled with mud and leaves and told me it was mine. Look in it, maybe it will bring you back memories she said. As I scattered through the backpack all I saw was books and papers clumped and couple of notebooks and bitten pencils. “I’m sorry I don’t remember any of this. After about 30 minutes of dead silence my dad said for us to check out and head on home. The car ride my dad talked about my life and how my mother died. He didn’t really know anything else after that. But he told me when I saw young him and me were really close. I smiled a bit and said, “sounds like I had a pretty good life.” As I got out of the car my dad said that we lived here and walked me to the door handing me all these stuff.
  “Last chance to come to Michigan with me?” he offered but I opened the door shaking me head. When I looked out the window I would see him opening rambling his pockets looking for the keys then driving away. I was finally alone from everyone I was at a place I once knew but I didn’t know. It felt very uncomfortable. I sat in the couch looking around and trying to get familiarized. The backpack the one girl gave me was at the corner of the room, I walked gently over there to get the backpack and sat on the floor right in from of it. I dumped everything out of my backpack and boy it was a mess. A green notebook caught my eye where it had English crossed out and in big bold letter “Book of Adventure” across the page. I had the notebook in my hand and started to look around the house. This place was a mess. I went inside one of the cleanest rooms in the apartment and sat on the bed. As I opened the notebook that was in my hands I started reading everything. Tears started to just fall down my eyes and I didn’t even other holding it back. Even though my memory was blurry I could still remember now. My mom, my dad this books everything came to me. After there were no more tears I realized that I didn’t have to make a book for what I want to do before I die. Just living about going through life could be more of an adventure than anything in this book here. I felt so stupid that I didn’t realize this before I nearly killed myself. I started ripping out the pages out and ripped them apart. “I don’t need some notebook to tell me what I should do with my life.” As I walked out the room and out the door I was starting my new life living how I wanted to.

1) Tackling the issue.

I do not believe that the parents can choose what books the kids read or the teachers choice of book to read. The books right now are mainly about life and I don't believe it is fair. I guarantee that the books that the kids are reading right now are the same theme as the shows they watch as well so it is not much of a difference. Drugs and drinking are all apart of life, outside these walls of school there are actually people doing those bad influences. Everyone has a different taste in book and i do not think that the parents should choose out the book for their kids. Does that mean if your friend talk in foul language, that the parents should choose their friends too? No it does not and its wrong to interfere with what your kid read. On the book their is always a downfall and the character regrets on their action. That might make the kid realise i better not make the same mistake that person in the book made. If the kid has an interest of the type of the book i bet that they are mature and grownup to handle the issues going on it.
Many teens today know about the bad judgment that some other teens make and in the book it reflects the teens mistake and makes the reader know that they should never do it. Also the foul language, its not like they are never going to here it in there life and some readers are the ones that say it all the time. What parents don't know is what their kid is like when their kids are in school and what they read. Parents should care what book their kid reads especially if it is a book a teacher wants them to read or recommend because the book may have a theme in the book that the teacher wants to explain, but if the parents are over protective of that then the teenager will never know what the messages come upon the kid. When book have a theme on a teen who's life turned around because of one stupid night on drinking, that is not a way to get your teen to start for continue drinking, its a way to be scared of it. Teens are mature to handle the way life is now and parents shouldn't interfere on what books their teen or kids want to read.

Take care of yourself!

Do you put yourself before anyone else, or do you help everyone then yourself last? Well i think that you should always look at for yourself before everyone else because if you do not take care of yourself because if you do not take care of yourself you can never look out for someone else you can not provide much but, that is my opinion. Probably taking care of your self is the number one primary basis and then when you are good and have plenty that's when you should start giving but you should always have you before anyone else. Taking care of someone is a good thing but you should always take care of because you should be before everyone else. For instance, there are two people that want to take care of someone. The first person takes good care of them very well and the second person doesn't take care of themselves. I am pretty sure that the person they want to take care of will want the person that takes good care of themselves other than the person that is disorganized and really messy. You can always care for someone else after you are well in control and good!

2. Dear Journal December 24th, 1843
My bad was like any other day but the hear of merry Christmas came up more than ever. What is so merry about Christmas? Why is my nephew so jolly and deiced he has any right to come into my house and tell me to have happy about Christmas? What right does he have? The people outside singing about God blessing a merry gentleman? Ehh, why would Gob bless anyone, doesn't he have enough people to take care of? I do not care of Christmas and I never will! My nephew and family seem to be a fan of this horrifying day they wanted me to have dinner and talk with them. You know I say to that? Bah, Humbug! He did not believe that Christmas is a humbug. Also the merry part? Why does anyone have to be merry about especially him, his poor enough. I'm sure everyone is poor. When i went outside today the clerks bedded me for money. We have prisons don't we? I am sure we have plenty.People like that belong there! Christmas is nothing but selfish children and jolly people. What is there to be jolly about. This is all a bunch of humbug, but does people listen to me? No they rather listen to the tortured myths of you being merry about Christmas. My family is apart of this disaster too I can not believe it. I should stop with all the noon-sense Christmas goodbye for now.

1. From what we have learned about the pearls symbolism is hope. The reaction the pearl evokes is greed. Lots of the people are jealous that Kino found the great pearl and Juanna beleieve Kino has changed and that he should throw it away or throw it back into the sea. She thinks that the pearl is destroying him and the family because he is caring too much for the pearl.

2. For Kino the pearl brings hopes and dream. He wants to use the pearl to send Coyoitio to school and have a better life for his family because now they have money.
For Juanna the pearl brings destruction because when Juanna and Kino was sleeping Kino got up and started protecting the pearl like it was only on his child and she does not think the pearl is a good idea.
For the doctor since he is very greedy the pearl brings out being nice to Kino because now he has money and the doctor wants some money so he is now curring the baby. But when Kino and Juanna did not find the pearl the doctor refused.
For the neighbors the pearl brings out jealousy in everyone because everyone wants the pearl and does not believe that Kino deserve it.
For the townspeople, they are wondering what Kino could bu because they want some of Kino's money and wants him to buy theres stuff.
For the priest, he is the same as the doctor, very greedy because he was wondering what Kino owes him because he wants the pearl or the money.
