Character Changes

            Throughout my book, “Watership Down,” I tend to find lots of important choices the main characters makes that effects the story in many ways. Such as when the whole entire gang decides to trust fiver and escape the warren before anything bad can happen. If Hazel never trusted fiver they would have all died. And if Hazel never helped Keshar, they wouldn’t have been able to find does for their warren, and their warren would never thrive and slowly die out. So these decisions lead up to the climax when they have a “deadly encounter” with General Woundwort. If Bigwig didn’t have the bravery of a lion they would have never made it this far. Therefore, the characters decisions have affected the story in a significant number of ways.

Upfront: Rethinking Juvenile Justice             

In my ELA class an interesting topic was brought to the table. Whether under aged teens should go to the adult jail. We took on both sides writing whether kids should or shouldn’t go to adult jail. The main theme my table gave was that they should only go for first-hand murder. In my opinion, I agree. The text seemed to have more evidence that kids shouldn’t go then that kids should. But I’m beginning to think even thought this wasn’t written in a biased format; because of the lack of evidence from the opposing side it is biased. And because this was introduced to me in a biased fashion it may have affected my point of view on the situation.

After reading the article, "Hide the Nachos,"I found it interesting that a lot of people gain weight due to football. It is the least likely thing to gain weight from, you may think. But when you are going to watch the big game with a couple of friends, I bet the first thing you do is order KFC or Pizza Hut and go snacking while your booing, or cheering your team on. This article made me think about weight gain and ways to prevent it. According to the article, a researcher stated, "When people feel their identity is threatened, they compensate by eating indulgent food." He says. "No one ate broccoli after a defeat." I plan to do more research on this topic of habits of eating. Simple things, from movie snacking to skipping out on a meal and overeating after. My mom is a health coach, so I am slightly educated.
