Big Bird

The brisk wind slid across my face nipping my nose. The sky was dark on the hard winter’s day. As I walk through the seemingly lifeless forest an unexpected gust of wind started to lift me off my feet and slammed into a tree. As I stumbled to get my self up I saw a gigantic shadow soar above my head I heard stories but I did not know it was real. It was supposed to be a legend some sort of myth it was only known as the big bird. All I had with me was my red rider bi bi gun with about 10 shots. I took but missed by a long shot. As I chased it I tripped on an out grown root of a large maple tree. As I fell I shot the gun some how hitting the wing bringing it to the ground about half a mile away. I ran as fast as I could to the impact zone to see the amazing beast. As it stood up I noticed the size of it maybe 6 ft tall with a wing span of ten ft. The beast with lighting speed ran for it but the woods were too thick. It began to slow down as I began to catch up. I did not know if I should kill it or not. So I took another shoot at it and missed the bird started to crow at me my eyes were on its sharp beak and gigantic talons and it looked like it was coming to attack me so I kept shooting and missing. I think that I had about 4 shots left. Then it stopped, waiting for its chance to strike as it leaped I shot it in the chest. It laid on the ground all the life drained out. I have felt ashamed for hurting such a wonderful beast and decided to give it a burial. It took awhile but it was done. As I walked away I played the whole story in my head. Not expecting to tell the story until know.

Currency and China

China's currency will help them lead to the global economic power.

One reason why the currency of china will lead them to global power is the amount that the currency cost. As it said in a NY times article called " China Rejects U.S. Complaints on Its Currency" that since the currency of china is so low that it lets them export a larger amount to other countries around the world. Personally to me that is a smart business plan because the less it is the more people can buy. Restaurants also so do this by lowering the prices of good food so people can buy more of it but then they usually just raise it up.

Some people may say that it is better to have a higher currency worth. But because we sell to poorer countries no body can buy or products which mean that we lose money. But with China's cheap currency people can actually buy the products. And these are the reasons why China's currency will help them reach the global economic power.

5 things I liked this year

I was told that in global Ed you would learn a great deal more than just any other history and English class. And I found that to be true and I have 5 significant things that I learned in Mr. Fielders were about the Rwanda Genocide , apostrophes, understanding “Squirrel Cop” , zoom into greater detail and researching South Africa.
I think that looking at other civilizations past is great it is so interesting that is why I liked learning about the Rwandan genocide. It was very sad hearing of the treachery and violence that was going on and barely anybody even helped during this monstrosity. I’ll give you a brief overview Belgium took Rwanda after World War 2 from the Germans they took the countries resources and basically put a race called the Tutsis into power. After Belgium left they gave everyone ID cards to show if they are Tutsi or Hutu which was an awful idea. So the Tutsis basically discriminated the Hutus and then when the Hutus won the office for government they started to discriminate the Tutsis. Then the government started to get younger kids to join a group called the Interahamwe. Which started to kill all the Tutsis and most of the world just sat and watched!
Apostrophes were something that I really didn’t think about I thought it was just to show ownership of something or shorten words but if you get it wrong then you could end up messing up a writing. And grammar isn’t my strongest thing I learned what to do if you were writing “the Jones’s own the black car”. I would probably just leave it Jones.
When we listened to the story the Squirrel Cop I thought it was hilarious. A man called the police saying that there was something moving around in the attic. The police men went to look inside he saw a squirrel that looked like it was as tall as Godzilla. Then the squirrel jumped down went downstairs went in the fire under the couch and it went up like someone poured gasoline on it. The point of the story was to zoom into greater detail in our writing and if you read it you would think your actually there.


I think that writing was not that important just tell a story of what happened. But understanding it by just telling isn't as interesting or exciting. that is why you have to really talk about what everything is happening and how and what is happening with detailed characteristics.



In the history of south africa has been bumpy and power has change a lot. it has been controlled by a dutch company and then the dutch came to colonize. then they found diamonds and gold and that got the interest of the british to invest in troops to take over the area. then the Boer war started and the British won. And then they told the mining companies they couldn't have slaves so the Afrikaners worked with the british to create apartheid something that stops the black natives from being intelligent enough. And that is basically what has happened in the beging years.

My computer would not let me post it so i went after school to do that I am very sorry.

Christmas Vaction

Christmas is one of the most wonderful times of the year unless you don't celebrate it then that is different. One of the best things is having like a three week break from school its one of the best things. Most of the break I had spent time with my family. Some of the time it would get annoying with every one around and I could not go any where.
So it was the second day after school got out and me and my brother decided to do some thing we do every year which is SNOW SOCCER! It is one of the best things about break. The ball is so hard to control and you can tackle people it might sound stupid talking about it but it is more fun playing it. We got a ton of people they were from my brothers team and also Stevenson varsity soccer players. So we played for about seven hours straight. When we got done we were soaking wet and super cold but once we changed into warm clothes and had hot chocolate it felt a lot better.
So on Christmas eve all of my family went to my grandpas house. We played ping pong pool and a lot of pool. So we always have an amazing home cooked meal and mostly based on what polish people eat like broche. Most people does not even know what that is do you. It is a creamy soup that you usually eat with mashed potatoes. Are dinner was very filling and after we ate home made Christmas cookies. So we then exchanged Christmas gifts I was pretty depressed on what I got which was a alarm clock that I had to put together my house which was really disappointing.

So on Christmas day my sisters woke me up at about six o'clock i was so tired i could not do it at all. So i went back to sleep and then my parents woke me up. I was very excited at what i got. The best thing i got was a new snow board I got a JP walker but i would have rather had a butron i do not think it really matters though it is still a good gift.

At new year we went up to my cabin in Argentine and we went snow boarding at mount Holly. It was really great i had so much fun with are family friends up there. After we got to the cabin after snow boarding we played ping pong all night an when it was dark out we got a bunch of lights and we played ice hockey down at the lake by are cabin. it was so fun and on New Years day we had a massive party it was the most fun i have ever had.

Rwanda Genocide

I really think that the Rwanda Genocide conflict was very interesting. In fact I didn't even know about it till we started talking about it. The group I was in was the red cross. It was probably the easiest group in the whole conflict because nobody could pin the problem on us.

I think the people that started the Rwanda Genocide were the Interhamwe. They were the ones who actually killed the people and their argument was that they would get killed which is not even true I mean the amount of people that were in that group could have easily protected themselves. I think the main reason was to get their neighbors land which I think is just wrong.

Another thing that ticked me off about it was that the US and the UN barely did anything. The US's argument to it was that they were embarrassed or didn't know what was going on in Rwanda. I thought to my self that they would rather be embarrassed then helping people that were getting slaughtered don't you think that is just wrong.

And Beligum why did you guys come out with ID's to seperate Hutus from Tusis what did that really accomplish. Then you only let the Tutsis have power you guys are not that smart. That gave Tusis able to dicriminate them. Then you dicide to change the goverment to a democracy and after years of being treated like trash what do you think the Hutus will do.

Now the UN had plans but the thing about plans is that you usually carry out the plans which they did not well at all. They put in troops but when just 7 troops died they pulled them all out when they easily could have handled guys with machetes.

Looking back on the whole expreince made me realize what global ed is really all about that it is about at the worlds problems and trying to figure are own way to fix them. But being in like a model UN kind of thing debating on what should happen like what we did was amazing.

So to recap I think it is the Interhamwe, UN, US, and Beligum. I mean sure Juvenille told people to do it but we as humans can say no he didn't hypnotize them he spoke his mind which every person has a right to do.

And that is my opinoin on this expreince.

The American Ssssuuuppppeeeerrrrrr Scholar!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Emerson and his thoughts on American society.

One reason his thoughts hold true today is because we as human beings have one specific thing we want to excel at. I personally want to have a science career specifically a doctor. But you can't just think of your self as being a doctor or a farmer. You have to be more then one thing you can't be a fist but you must be the fingers also.

Another reason is because of money and other luxuries. It seems that most americans goals in life are to earn a lot of money but they will be miserable in doing because the job they do is just one thing and they don't open them selves up to other enviorments. Like as a teacher sure they teach a certain subject but they are open to so many more subjects being in the school enviorment and teachers don't make as much money as doctors do. An a Dentist focuses on teeth and that is what they have went to years of college for and not to other things. Do you see what I am saying they can go to college for many years just to learn one thing for money. But making money can shadow your thoughts and make you a machine. I am not saying money isn't important but there are more things out there like ideas friends and other subjects.

History of Soccer

Soccer is the most popular sport in the whole world. But have you ever wondered where soccer had originated from? You might think it came from England. Well you're wrong. Soccer was created in Japan around 1004 B.C. They played with leather balls filled with hair.

It was also played during the first Olympic Games. It had teams of 27 on each side. About 2/3's of the men had to be hospitalized. An you probably thought that it originated from England. England originally thought it was evil and the devils work. But that didn't stop the English from playing it. The punishments for playing soccer were being sent to prison for many years.

After Queen Elizabeth's death soccer became legal. An they then started to form leagues. Eton College started to make the first rules for soccer. Personally I had know idea about any of this and I don't think any other soccer player does. Can you believe how soccer evoled to what it is today.

That is just one of the sources though.

Another source says that the chinese created a game called Cuju which was created in chinese military. The goal was to kick a leather ball into a cloth hole. Which was around the 2nd century B.C. As the years went by other asians countries began to pick up on this sport.

It was also began to be played in amongst greeks. it was a combination of soccer and rugby. The mesoamerican civilization also picked up on soccer. But instead there were to hoops on a wall and they tried to kick a rubber ball into the holes.

During the middle ages the evolution of soccer was utter chaos and brutallity. In france they tried to put the ball in the goal no matter what means. Sometimes the players even got killed.

Since of the sports violence the English banned the sport. But it did not stop the public. Even the police officers layed off inforcement of the sport because of the amusement. As the years went by they public started to make rules and coaches teams and refree's.

The first source was not as specific. It showed only about chinese and english but not about other nations and cultures. I have to say all of the second sources information told you the whole history of soccer and how it originated unlike the first source.

Thats is my blog on the history of soccer.
