Give a Boy a Gun 1-57

#1The really confusing part about this book that it's just comments from other that had to with the characters life or that they met him from the book. it was also confusing because there weren't really chapters that you could stop on so i had to find a good spot in the book where I could stop.

#2 This book makes me wonder that why did the author publisht it. It makes wonder because this book is telling about peopel's private lifes an also why is the book like violent and why he included so many people in the book.

#3 Why do you think that the author wrote this book and whats the mening

Moral Courage Website Project

The purpose of this project was to create a formal web site and add things about an interesting topic and research it. My topic was global warming. In order to learn about global warming we had to research that topic and gather five to ten pages of notes and create a web site so kids could learn about global warming. Since I was the artistic director, I created everything that was artistic and posted them on our website.
I learned about global warming and what could happen if we don’t do anything to stop the continuing problem that is facing the planet. I also learned that we can really stop this problem by helping the environment. I also explored the concepts of global warming. I also took notes on the movie “An Inconvenient Truth.” With my partner I also explored what you can do to help the environment. In this project I learned how to make a website and how to research topics that have a lot of information.
I enjoyed this project because I was able to work with a lot of people and also because we worked a lot on our website and we kept on revising and making it better. I fell like I could have done better in this project because at the beginning of the project I did not contribute as much work as I was beign to asked to. Towards the middle of the project I began to commit and complete all of my work. Next time I would collect more notes because at the end I needed much more information that the one I had collected an that hurt my grade. I would probably go over the group jobs again because we didn’t complete the jobs that we all agreed on.

op#3

1. One of the main reasons why Ko Yoko and her mother needed to leave to Japan was because at the refugees camp they were at most women where getting raped and sexually hoarest. They probably also needed to leave because of the trouble in the war and also because they were getting chased because the dad was involved with the war and some other stuff.

2. What do you think that light was when Hideo and he wasn’t able to get there because his body collapsed?

3. My answer was it was probably that train station in soul and when he arrives he’s going to see that poster that his mom put up.

Op #2

1. I think Hideo is very brave because he wanted to go to war for his country and all so all those miles he had to walk so he could meat his family. One thing that i was thinking about was that probably the Kawashima is very important or very rich because there getting chased.one of the important arguments that happened in this story was when Hideo gets in a fight with his mom about the war.2. If i would have to leave i would pack avry big water boddel so my water would last me.i would take a sleeping bag because i don't have to Say at a House i can just lai anywhere. I would also take my passport because may be i need to leaveto another country or city and i might need it. i would also take a bible so you could pray

OP #1

1. I think Yoko is a very careful and caring person ,because I could tell when the Japanese police officer asked for her gold, silver, and bronze. Yoko got up and started to bite the police man because she cared about her. Also when they got to the train station she said thank you to
the chief of the train station by bowing down.

2. I think Yoko and Ko really love each other but some time they get anoyded of each other. I also think that Yoko think of Ko as her hero because she went around inside the car and talked to the sick people. ko prabably thinks of her little sister as a very

What does this book remind you of in your own life? Why?


Well this book reminded me of my child hood because I was really annoying when I was little and I really bugged my sister a lot just like fudge does to Peter fudge's older brother.

What was one of the lines in this story the stud out to you? Why?



“Mom fudge is a two-year-old- terror.” It really stood out to me because I can really imagine a little hipper kid jumping up and down and can’t keep still. It also reminded me of my self because I was all way was hipper and I like to run a lot and get that energy out
