How accurate were your predictions?
My predictions were pretty close for. However, some of them were way off.

Which predictions were very accurate?
The prediction that was the most accurate was my prediction that I made saying that the battle was against the Persians.

Which predictions were least accurate?

The prediction that was the least accurate was the prediction that I made saying that the book wouldn't be an epic because I didn't pay attention to how the book was written. 

dialectic journal books 6 and 7

Book 6

"'Kill one thousand and the rest will crack. One thousand and their master will put the remainder out. Can you do that for me, men? Can one of you kill four of them? Can you give me one thousand?'" page 318, Gates of Fire

I cant believe that a person can think like that. That sounds so barbaric and mean. I would be terrified of him.

Book 7

"Before I could move , Dienekes was there, the huge bronze bowl of his shield covering Alexandros .' get out!' he bellowed to all above the din. He hauled  Alexandros to his feet the way a countryman yanks a lamb out of a torrent." Page 387,Gates of Fire

This is real nice. I take it that the go by the saying "no man left behind." The way that these men protect each other reminds me of how relatives protect each other. 

book 6 = chapters 24-29

book 7 = chapters 30-34

THANKFUL :) :]

The main thing that I say that I will have to be thankful for would be my family. Without my family I don't know what I would do. The main person I care for is my mom's boyfriend, Robert, when times were hard he gave my family a place to stay. The second person would be my grandfather although he passed in the time that I did have with him he showed me a lot. These are the things I an thankful for.

dialectic journal

"'What's the difference between a Spartan king and a mid ranker?' One man will lob this query to his mate as they prepare to bed down in the open in a cold driving rain. His friend considers mock-theatrically for a moment.'The king sleeps in shit hole over there,' he replies. 'We sleep in the shit hole over here.'"


I take it that most people didn't really like the spartan king. He was either a bad ruler or did something bad to his kingdom or both. If he did mess up his kingdom or attack the Innocent I would be infuriated.

The 2008 elections are finally here. Who will be the president? A white male or an African American male? Who knows? This will make history, a woman and an African American male ran for president. I personally think that if Barack Obama wins the presidential elections it will be better for this nation. If John McCain wins it will be as if President Bush was in office for another term.

I think that this country need change and I believe that Barack Obama can do that for us. however, some would disagree with me because they might think John McCain is the better candidate. But it is what the people say. Senator McCain says he isn't President Bush(which he isn't) however he voted with him over 90% of the time more than most republicans.

in the state that the U.S. is in we need a president that can help the economy the troops and other important matters, not someone that will spend a lot of money on just the troops. McCain is not the person that should be running the country Obama should.

My hero is my mother because she moved out when she was sixteen and did fine. She has three children, one boy and two girls. My mother is divorced and had to take care of three children for five years with the help of her boyfriend.

my weekend

Friday I went home on the tiring tedious trolley. Saturday in the morning my mom mouthing off. In the night rain running down the rigid roof. People realizing it was pouring while my pals and I play. Later I watched UFC fights on T.V.

Sunday morning I saw the Charger game. Chargers losing to the Miami Dolphins becuase of a loose, lazy performance. Later reading Sports Illustrated so the time would slip by like it was covered in slippery soap. (I TOOK THAT KASIM OSGOOD PICTURE).

similies, metaphors, cliches

Short spiky, a porcupine. I am as funny as a dog, I'm as loud as an elephant, I'm like a black dot on a white dog being myself. Always wearing jeans wearing glasses.

Active when around my friends like a happy puppy. Distant at times like a cloud high in the sky. Raged at times like like a tiger attacked from behind.I'm Steven Speilberg with a new idea. Appresiated for that I live. Nicer than a harmless butterfly on a spring morning visiting flowers.

epic

epic- an long poem that narrates a hero's life.

three characteristics of an epic:

• Invocation to the muse or other deity,"Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage..." line 2.


• use of patronymics "Daughter of Zeus!..." line 212.


• story begins in medias res "sons of arteus and greek heroes..." line 24

my personal hero

This is my personal hero Carlos G. Ulloa. I chose my grandfather as my personal because he taught me a lot of things. He 's been my role model since I was a little boy. He always thought positive and was very smart. He finished calculus by the age of 16. My grandfather is very inspiring. I want to be like him go to college and be successful
