End Of Flawlesss !<3

I have finally finished my book and so much has been going on between all four girls. "A" has once again threatened to tell all of the girls secrets to the school and their families. they are all scared that if they don't find out who this A figure is that it will ruin their "flawless" reputation that they care so much about. A says that if emily doesn't do as she is told that he will tell her family and school how she is a lesbian. she knew that her friends would not approve and neither would her family. toby who was a close friend of the girls as they were growing up is now dead. he over dosed on pills. emily thought that before he died he was the won who was pretending to be A but after his death the girls still were getting texts and e-mails from A. so now they new that it could not be him. toby was one of the only people who knew what had happened the night of Jenna's accident. he thought that maybe since they werent all friends anymore he was trying to get back at them but didnt what them to actually know who it really was, but they were wrong. Arias was seeing is her english teacher ezra at the same time. none knew about this, but one day when she was walking out of the school Ezra called her name and they were talking for a little while. When she was leaving the school her phone vibrated and she got a text from A saying how she was a " naught, naughty girl for going after her teacher, and how girls like her the reason families get ruined. A also tells her that if she doesn't tell her mom about how her dad has been cheating on her not only will "A" tell her mom but she will also tell sean about Ezra, her mom and her dad. Arias didn't end up telling her dad and one morning aria's mom was crying and told her how she knew everything and how she knew that Aria was lying to her for 4 years now. she was so upset that her own daughter didn't tell her what was going on for 4 years. Hanna seemed to be doing alright up until she got a text one night from A. the text said "Hanna. Marin. Blinded. Jenna. what would daddy think about you if he knew that?" In this text A was telling Hanna how he knew what the girls had done to Jenna that night. A knew that they are the ones who made her blind. Hanna's dad use to ask her all the time if her and her friends with playing with fire works that night and she would always lie and say no and that she never plays with fire works. Her father would be so mad and disappointed in her if she found out she was lying to him . Also Hanna makes her self throw up but no one knows this, except for A. she has no clue how A found out but "it" did and said that if she didn't tell her friends one night that she did and that sean really broke up with her that A was going to tell the whole school who the " real hanna is ". Spencer is going through some confusing and tough times right now with boys. she really likes this kid Wren but with everything that is going on right now she doesn't know how much effort she can put into a relationship and she just doesn't know what to do anymore. she got an e-mail from A that said " you hurt me, so i'm going to hurt you or maybe i should hurt a certain new boyfriend instead?" spencer had no clue who in the world A could be but some how A is everywhere and sees everything that these girls are doing day to day.

Flawless part 2

I'm now in the middle of my book and so much has been going on. "A" is still unknown and is still sending that girls all these messages that freaks them out. A tells one of the girls that she knows she likes girls and threatens to tell the whole school. also threatens to tell Aria's mother how her father has been cheating on her for the past few years. during these few chapters aria takes her brother our to a bar and place to play pool. right as they were about to play pool she say her dad out of the corner or her eye with another women. she got so upset and made her brother leave. Also A texted Spencer and said that he/she was going to tell her sister and her whole family how she hooked up with her sisters boyfriend. Spencer was freaking out for days because she knew that it would just tear her family apart because this was not the first time that Spencer has pulled something like this. Her sister doesn't really talks to her as it so knowing that she did it again would just make it so much worse. After all the girls have their meeting they all noticed that while they were all best friends there was so much that they were keeping from one another. when they all went around telling what "A" had said to them they there was something that all of them said they didn't want to say out loud because it was personal.

Flawless; Part One

The book i am reading begins with a group of girls that are best friends. They are Ali, Spencer, Jenna, and Aria. At first the book starts off and they are in the sixth grade. As the book goes on it is now five years later and they are no longer friends. One of the girls whose name is Ali has been murdered. When the girls were younger there was this boy named toy who was always watching them and they thought he was really creepy. They called him the “black cat boy". One night when the girls were having a sixth grade sleepover they saw that Toby was watching that as they changed and just danced around the room. They said that some how they would get back at him. So one night the girls decide to set off a fire cracker into Toby’s tree house while he’s in there. On accident they end up hitting one of their own friends named Jenna. She ended up getting really badly burned and had to go to the hospital. This book goes back and forth from when they were in the sixth grade until five years later. One day all the girls randomly get this weird text message from "A". They have no clue who A is but somehow this person seems to know everything that they do and that they did. Ali was the one who set the fire cracker off and hurt Jenna but no one knows that other than Spencer. But Ali made Spencer swear to say anything to anyone. A few days later after the investigation was almost over about who set it off and hurt Jenna the cops blamed it on Toby and he got arrested. This A figure now is coming back and pretty much haunting all the girls from their past, and threatening to tell everyone their deepest darkest secrets.

A Journey Through Texas.

This story was about a man named Alvar Nunez Cabeza who traveled through Texas with his three countrymen. He and his men traveled for three months. Alvar Nunez Cabeza met the natives as well as others in a few of the stories that we have read so far. The natives helped Alvar Nunez Cabeza and his men in various ways. They lead the men the sunset, where they would gather their prize. Throughout the voyage 8 natives that died. They most likely died because of an illness. Alvar Nunez Cabeza thought they died because they were afraid of him and his men. They all had so many things that differed from one another. For example their cultures were different. The natives dressed differently and thought differently about n how to live day to day life. The natives thought that if they planted maize that it would ruin their crops. The Spanish were looking for the maize the whole time and the natives were the ones that showed the Spanish how to find it, and after searching for about 17 days they finally found it.

Today we read a book about slaves, and the journey from Africa to America and some of the things that were going on in the salve ships. This story also talks about how the conditions of the ships were and some stories that he author saw on while on the ship. The story starts off when he was just a little boy and him and his sister got taken away by the white men. He was separated from his sister almost right away. He was only 11 years old when all this happened too. He told us how the conditions were very bad. There were way to many people on the ships so they were very crowded. Because the conditions were so bad that many of them got sick and some even died. But because many were getting sick and the space was so tight many others got sick because they were not getting treated. if someone got sick they might let them go on the deck for a little while and get some fresh air. they food was very scarce for the slaves and there were a few that even tried to escape off the slave ships. They would jump over board hoping that they would make it back to shore. When this would happen a few white men would take the smaller ships out and go after them, some would drown and one or 2 might make it back to the boat. When they would get back they would be beaten so bad that they would almost die. They did this to how the other slaves what would happen if they tried to do something like this too. The slaves on these ships were always getting beaten. If they were caught stealing like some in the story were caught stealing food, they were beaten very badly.

The Navajo Origin Legend

To me this story was kind of confusing i wasn’t sure what the author was talking about or trying to get into when i first started reading. As i kept reading i noticed that like the other stories this one to be showing how people thought that humans came about living on this planet. Most of the other stories though had some kind of lesson that the author was trying to point out. In this story i did not see a lesson trying to be pointed out. This story was talking bout how man and women were formed. The people in the story thought that man and women were made by the four Navajo gods. When the gods came down they preformed some type of ritual that in the end was the creation of man kind. But they did this with the help of the wind. They thought that if the wind hadn’t not done its role in making humans then we would not be what we are. After the wind blew and the man and women were created the gods told them that they shall now “live together now husband and wife. And when reading this story it relates to marriage today. When we get married the priest says something just like that.

When Grizzlies Walked Upright (:

To me this story was telling us how the people long ago who didn’t understand the way things were may have thought that the bears are they way they are and why Mount Shasta has those rocky paths. Many people in earlier times didn’t know how to explain the way things were why the world did some of the things that it did. So they would make up stories to tell their children and grandchildren so they could better understand the world they are living in. like most stories this one seemed to also have a point. i think that the point the author was trying to get across was that sometimes when you don’t listen to what you are told bad things will happen. Like the daughter didn’t listen to her father and she ended up getting blown away. Also i think that the author was trying to tell us that sometimes we let our minds get the best of us. We wonder a little too much and it leads us into trouble. When we are told not to do something because we could get hurt we have the tendency to do it anyways not really thinking that it will be "me" as the one who really get hurts. Like the grandmother bear she thought she would be doing a good thing she was thinking that the chief of sky would be happy to see his daughter and grandchildren but in the long run he wasn’t at all. He ended up killing the grandmother and cursing the grandchildren. He took his daughter away from her children and from then on made grizzle bears walk on all for legs and was unable to speak to humans. Also he separated the family from that day on the story told us that all the grizzly bears separated all over the world.

The Earth on Turtle's Back

While reading this book it seemed to be sending more of message that the reader is suppose to notice then just a regular story with and actual point. In this story the author talked about how the wife had a dream that the tree had been uprooted, so the husband had the men of the town try and uproot the tree. None of them were able to do it so the husband tried and finally got it. When the wife leaned over to look down the whole she saw something and slipped. She fell all the way down into the whole and landed with the water birds and animals. Some of the birds saw her falling from the SkyLand and decided to go and help her. They noticed right away that she wasn’t one of them. At first they weren’t sure what to do with her. Then one of the animals said that they heard that there was earth under the water. So over and over again the animals attempted to go down and grab this “earth" that they heard was down there. All the animals that tried were strong and were not too devoted to getting the earth they just tried but didn’t try their best. Then as they were all getting ready to give up they heard someone say that they were willing to try it and they would do anything to get "earth" or they would die trying. This was said by a tiny muskrat. Unlike the other animals that were all strong and could not to it the tiny little muskrat tried and got a piece of earth. She was very tired and was in desperate need of air, her lungs were on the verge of collapsing. Then she finally got to the surface and the animals put the piece of earth on the turtles back that stepped up and was willing to help the sky women. To me this story seemed like it was trying to tell the reader that just because you’re strong and big doesn’t mean that someone who is tiny can’t do the same things. Also that someone who is tiny can have more courage than someone who is big and strong, and in the end that is was got the world started. The turtle played a roll in this story to i thought because the world evolved over a long period of time, like the way in which a turtle moves. The turtle was symbolizing how "earth" began.

First Voyage To America

Christopher Columbus sailed took sail on October 21st 1492. Some of the characters that where mentioned in the story are Christopher and his crew members. The setting is most important because it tells the reader how and where he landed when he. he sailed there. When they arrived at the island it looked like everyone fled in terror. So, they kept exploring until they came across the Native Americans. They met the Natives while they were in search for water. The Native Americans were very nice to them. They asked for good water while Christopher gave them glass. After they talked to the Natives for a while, they decided to get back on the boat to go find the king. They wanted to go see the king to get gold because he heard that the king had plentiful amounts of gold. That is about the Journal of Christopher Columbus.
