Refugee Question and Answer

rmian29 on

While Listening to Refugee by Alan Gantz, my classmates had a few questions and I have some of the answers to the questions.

The first question is if the hotel landlords and owners let Syrians stay, why would they talk so disrespectfully about them? 

I think that The Owners of the hotels let Sirians stay for the money. I don’t think that they liked the Sirians, they probably just knew that refugees are coming and found it as an opportunity to basically force or leave the refugees no choice but to pay for the hotels because the Refugees are desperate and the hotel owners probably know that other hotel owners are going to make them pay too. most hotel owners are just taking advantage of war and people who have no choice, which is a really bad thing to do. Instead, they should have helped the refugee, like Mr. Nasser.

Why is Mahmoud’s father keeping him from getting help? They had no place to stay or sleep.

I think that Mahmoud’s father doesn’t want to have help because he doesn’t want to accept defeat. He probably feels like because he is the man of the family, he should protect his family. he doesn’t want to accept defeat because he feels that he will lose his honor. he might also think that his family is depending on him and will be disappointed. he might also be embraced because Mr. Nassan is a man also and Mahmoud’s father doesn’t want a man – who is older tan him – have to see him need help.

Ruby the Copycat Essay

In the book “Ruby the Copycat “ by Peggy Rathmann, Ruby is a copycat because she is new and feels like she doesn’t belong but in the end Miss Hart helps Ruby change.

On her first day, Ruby saw that Angela was getting compliments and copied Angela’s clothes and her bow. This shows that Ruby wants to fit in and get compliments.

At the end of the week, Ruby copied Angela’s work too. For example, she made a poem that was similar to Angela’s poem. This shows that Ruby is copying everything that Angela does.

In conclusion, Ruby is a copycat because she is new and scared. In the end Miss Hart helps Ruby understand that people will like you more if you are yourself and not someone else. Then Ruby is proud of who she is.

I taught my buddy what chrome music lab is and how to use it.

When I walked into the room, my buddy smiled when she saw me and when I sat down next to her she saw my iPad and stared at it. Then Mrs. Boyer said “today your buddy’s are going to show you how to use chrome music lab.”

I showed my buddy one game and then she got her iPad. On my buddy’s iPad I showed her other games.

After that my buddy pretty much knew all the games so she played  with them on her iPad and I played with them on mine.

What I Learned About Electromagnets

One day my teacher said “every one for homework you will be doing a blog post about:

What I learned:

  • electromagnets are temporary. They are temporary because if you disassemble it, it won’t be a magnet because there is no power source
  • I learned that the less wire you wrap around the bolt, the less the electromagnet will attract.

My questions:

  • how do magnets repel each other?
  • why do magnets stick to each other?
  • why does electricity help magnets stick to other things?

Magnets

I learned about magnets! Magnets are really fun to learn about. Hear are some things I learned about:

Not all magnets repel when the same sides go together. another thing that I learned about magnets is that magnets don’t have to be metal they can be anything that sticks together by electricity. The biggest magnet is the world! One last thing I learned is that gravity acts like a magnet but not.I learned all that stuff by the since stations my class and I did! the picture is about one station. so if you don’t like magnets you shoud rethink because magnets are really cool!  🙂

Family Photos in Lake Tahoe

rmian29 on

“Ya!” I was on vacation!!! It was summertime. I was in Lake Tahoe with my big family. I love lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe’s mountains are so pretty.

You can go tubing in the summer or in the spring! If you are there in the fall or in the winter, you can go ice skating, skiing, or you can go sledding! You can do anything you want, but I’m just giving you suggestions.

Anyway, it was an exciting day in lake Tahoe. Why? Because it was a family photo day! Not a regular photo day, about a 30 people photo day! With a professional photographer. We drove to the place to meet her and get our photos taken.  The first photo was with all of us sitting on a big log. After we did the same thing but missing Jose. Jose is my Aunt’s boyfriend who came. 

Then we did group pictures.  The first group picture was with the Grandchildren and Grandparents.

After that, we did individual pictures and photos with our inside families

Then we went to a nearby dock and took more group pictures.  It was so pretty to see the mountains with the big lake. 

Finally, my mom said, “It’s time to go home.” “Not yet!” I cried. “I WANT MORE PICTURES!”  But my mom said to come on so I had to go. But it was so fun anyway.
