Draft

The topic that I am focusing on is Police brutality.I really think police brutality is wrong and everyone should get treated the same regardless skin color.Police brutality has been going on for years now and nothing is changing,police brutality has been going on since Martin Luther king was born ,and even long before he was born.


One news story that I witnessed is the killing of Laquan McDonald.Laquan was only  a 17 year old teenager when he got shot and killed by the police for walking up the street.Officer Jason Van Dyke Shot him 16 times! That's two rounds of an semi automatic pistol.

The human right that has been violated #3 “The right to life” ,3. “The right to life. We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.

Russell Westbrook: The Triple-Double Machine
Westbrook, the Thunder guard, is dominating opponents this
season with double-digit averages in points, rebounds and assists.

By SCOTT CACCIOLA NOV. 29, 2016

In the non fiction article that I am reading it is about the famous ball player Russell Westbrook.The article talks about how good he is doing so far without his all star teammate “Kevin Durant”.Russell Westbrook plays  point guard in the NBA ,he plays for the state Oklahoma.His team name is Oklahoma City Thunder, and he is leading the league in triple doubles (Double points,rebounds,assist) .Russell Westbrook is averaging 30 points per Game,11 assist per game,and 10 rebounds per game.

 With only “Nineteen games into his season, Westbrook, 28, is averaging 30.9 points, 11.3 assists and 10.4 rebounds. He has 45 career triple-doubles, which ties him with LeBron James for sixth on the career list, behind other luminaries like Oscar Robertson (181), Magic Johnson (138) and Jason Kidd (107), according to Basketball Reference.” I found that part interesting because,He is a point guard averaging that many points,rebounds,assist per game by himself is amazing and that really caught my attention because he might pass Lebron James,Jason Kidd,Or even Magic Johnson.

One thing that I have learned is Russell Westbrook career total triple doubles is tied up with Lebron James 4x MVP,with 3 Finals MVP ,3 championships rings.They are tied with the number 45 in their whole career! One thing that I will never forget is “Russell Westbrook needed one more assist for another triple-double in his ruthless campaign across the N.B.A., so he drove the lane and tried to thread a pass to Joffrey Lauvergne, his teammate with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Instead, the ball bobbled loose for a turnover, and time soon ran out — on the first half” I will not forget that because He almost scored a triple double and the first half and that's amazing.

  Eq-Exactly how many bugs are there
Scientists find over 600 kinds of creepy crawlies that live in our homes

The article that I will be doing this week is called “Scientists find over 600 kinds of creepy crawlies that live in our homes” by Washington post.I would like to start off saying that I picked this article because I am interested in bugs and I am also interested in knowing what lives in the walls of my bedroom,and also home.Also not only is there 10 kinds of bugs but 600 different bugs.The author also explained to us how to get in there and,how long they've been in there .

A message from the article that is important for the world to hear is when it stated. “Some of our bugs may make our homes better without us noticing” I really liked that part of the article because. If I was to see one of the bugs the author gave us in the text I would  have not killed it because I know that “spiders eat other bugs” So I thought that was a very important part to know.


The author's purpose for writing this article was to inform the reader what kind of insects live in their homes.He informed us because he wanted us to know what kind of bugs or insects live in our homes.The author didn't entertain us on how the bugs eat and sleep,note did the author persuade us to buy bug spray ,so the main purpose for this article was to inform the reader.

Aow reflection

Today during My ELA class I learned a page full of things.One important thing I learned is that New Zealand had a very big dangerous earthquake,and following the earthquake that hit 8.9 on a scale, was a tsunami the poor weather killed over 100,000 people and the earthquake killed over 100 people .

Over the weekend I also learned more about the article.I learned that in a small area of New Zealand that has got destroyed during the weather cost 1,000,000,000 to be repaired.My opinion to that is I really think that's a lot of money to only repair one small area out maybe 100 more larger ones.

ELA Block 2 Election response (Due today)

I was not too happy about the election this year. I feel this election was crazy and unfair to me. Reason being, I didn't think people will take Trump serious due to all the unruly and disrespectful things he was saying against women and other races outside of his. I don't know too much about Hillary Clinton, but I do know she has past experience being in the White House as well as being in politics period. I felt like she was a better candidate. It would've been nice to see the first woman President.

My thoughts on the election results was unbelievable. How could Trump, out of all people, be President? When my mom showed me the results, I instantly thought they were rigged. I assumed they did not want a women in the office. This was not Hillary  first time running for president, so how could she not win? I just can't believe Donald Trump is now President of  the United States of America!

In 4 years I would be voting. This is exciting to me because I now have a choice to choose who I want to be the next president. I would vote for someone who is trying to make the right decision. Someone who will treat us all equally and someone who is smart and respectful towards our women, men and children of all race. So I will be voting because my vote will count.
