Where the Hell is Matt? Connections

I think what Matt have done is really pleasing. I think that all the people out there that met Matt must really felt like he wasn't just a stranger but more connected in a way. He is also comunicating alot about how differences does not matters.

I choose this image because no matter how different the colors are they are still colors. Just like us we are all humans no matter what diffrences we ever have.

Compliment Guys

I think that the compliment guys are really cool because it makes people who are passing by happy and they feel more welcomed to the contry if they are tourists. I think lots of people should like and expand this idea. This is another big step to make our world have peace.

"A stranger is just a friend you haven't met."

My Name

Ni, a really simple name. As a second child a name meaning the number two in Japanese fits me.
By it’s simplness it made me like my name. Not a popular name so you won’t mix me up with anyone else. It’s unique! I would say my name is marvelous if you really come to think about it. Just plain simple “Ni” it sounds…cool…cool to me. Also you can’t mess up my nickname.
My full name is Nichapat but some people say, “nic-ca-pat” instead and it’s really disturbing. I don’t know if they do that because my name is spelled with a c or if they just want to make fun of me or if they just can’t pronounce it.
Nichapat means innocent, good, and nice. The way I say my name is so fluent like the beat of a butterfly’s wing, but how my friends say it is so harsh, unsteady, and not welcoming, like a plat form floating in the middle of he sea.
Right now I prefer Ni because people say it more correctly and it is short. Still someday I would grow to like my name and make people say it properly.

I choose the picture because I think it represents my name well. The outside might not seem nice but the inside is just like every one else.

A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles

-A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles- Tim Cahill
I choose this quote to be my title because it has a really good meaning in friendship. It shows that friendship is one of the most important thing a person should have. Other than yourself frienship is the thing to rely on. If we don't have friends the only feeling we have is of sadness.

Octomom or China One Child

I think that parents should have the rights to have as many child as they want but there should be a rule saying something like: there is no limit to how many children you can have but it is your responsibility and you should be able to take care of your own children.

one child policy and the 14 kids problem

How many kids should you have? Should the government or you decide?
I don't think that the government should decide how many kids you should have because this is a family thing and you should be the one who decides. Instead of saying you can only have one kid they should instead say:you can have as many kid as they can but it is their responsibility to be able to take care of their own kids. Also you as a mother should have your own limit to how many children you can have and take care of fully.
Is giving birth good or bad?
I don't think that giving birth is bad or good because it depends on how you had the baby. If you wanted the baby is good but if it's accidental it's bad.
Overall I don't agree that they should have limit laws about to how many children you should have but you yourself should be the one controlling the birth. It isn't the government fault that you are pregnant.

Shakespeare Sonnet 7 2nd Draft

My thought swayed a bit but I would still stick with the same thing because I still think that it's coparing the sun with us. The peom can show a day for the sun but our whole life for us. At the end is like describing your future, because we all would die and be forgotten unless we have someone for us to rely on.

Shakespeare Sonnet 7

I think this poem is comparing the sun with us human. It said
"Lo!in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,"
This can be when the sun rises and everyone wakes up to see the sky.Compare to us it is when we were born and everyone pays attention to the new baby.
"Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage;"
This is when the sun rises to its middle and it is midday,but everyone stills pay attention to you.To us it can be that we have used up have our life time, but we still have people who enjoys being with us.
"But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,
The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are
From his low tract and look another way:"
This is when the sun is setting and the people that was watching it turns away. For us it can be when we die and everyone is saying goodbye.
"So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon,
Unlook'd on diest, unless thou get a son."
This can mean that the sun is gone and everyone forgets about unless it comes again. For us is when we're dead and forgotten unless we have someone to pass on to.

Reflecting on Progress

In my wiki I need to work on the Communication part. I also need to add in pictures if I have time. I think that the communication part is the weakest in my blog because it only has one sentence. And the strogest is Entertainment because it has lots of pictures and it describes alot obout them and how they are important.
Reflections:
*Entertainment- Our group did well in entertainment because we had lots of ideas and we put 3 pictures to go with it.
*Business- our group was doing ok on this because we had no pictures, but I think the idea was fine except we didn't really describe it well enough. In other words the sentence was not clearly written.
*Communication- As I said communication was the wrost part. I am going to try to improve it after I finish this blog. The picture was too big and it took up all the space so I'm going to make it smaller. It doesn't have lots of imformation so we will need to add on.

Overall our group is working relly well together. we add our own ideas to the blog to support each other.

My Life in 2020

I woke up at five, took a bath, and got dress. I still can't belive this. It feels as if I was ten yesterday. I have collected enough money for me to get two horses. I walk to the big chest I used to contain my tools. I got out the watering can and filled it up with water from the lake that runs through my farm. Woof! Woof! Chip (my dog) started to run towards me. I took a toy bone out of my pocket and place it down on the ground. Chip began to play with the squeaky bone and then she drag it to her dog house. I watered my crops then crouch down to see if there are any worms or bugs. An hour past and it was time to go out to get the horses. "Chip!" I yelled. She ran towards me and I hook the leash on her collar. "Let's go." I said. We walked to the meeting place and I saw the man with the horses. I sprited slowly towards him and he handed me the horses. I gave him the money, release more of the leash, and got on one of the horses. There wasn't a saddle but there were reins. It wasn't that hard to ride and lead another horse at the same time. I got back to my farm and put the horses in the stable. I knew the horses weren't ready for use yet they have to get use to the place first. Everyday I would check on my cows, sheeps, dog, and horses then let them out to have grass or play in the big field. Two months later I used the horses for the first time. Still when it is mid day I would let them have a break. When my crops grow I sell them in town to get money to buy new tools or animals. I also let tourists in for photos and tours. I collected lots of money a day, it made me have an easy life. Everyday I was cheerful and I will work like this forever.

Maps of the Ancient World

Today in humanities we looked at maps of the anciet world and talked as a group about what we see/think/wonder. I think that some of the maps are old and some of them are new because the 1st map doesn't have longtitude and latitude lines.
This is the differences-
1st Map-Sumer is circled
-the land is greenish yellow
-Around the land is white which we think is the sea
2nd Map-there is a scale on the bottom left corner we think that the scale tells how high the land is to sea level
-there are Latitude and Longtitude lines
-Around the land is light blue
3rd Map-there are stars on it and next to the stars are names which is probably the names of cities
-In the small map Turkey, Sytia, Iraq, and Kuwait is in yellow which makes us think that it is the names of the countries
4th Map-Persian GUlf is in blue I think it represents the water (sea, rivers, lakes etc.

Life at ISKL

The pictures in the slide show below were took by my partner and I. They are pictures of the school grounds. We choose these pictures because we thought they explain the school the most. We also thought they had the best qualities.

Wang Nam Khiew

During winter break I went to Wang Nam Khiew in Nakorn Rachasima, Thailand. The weather is quite cold in the morning and afternoon. There were many pictures taken and lots of activities done such as driving the ATV, flying fox, rock climbing, and many more. I liked driving the ATV best out of all the activities because the ATV track was very smooth but with lots of curves. At one time, I forgot to hold the break while going down the hill and with that I crashed into a bush and almost fell into the lake infront of the bush. Anyways it was very exciting. The place that I liked the most was "Jim Thomson's Farm" because there were lots of beautiful flowers and the weather was cool and relaxing. There is also something like a museum for you to see how Thai people used the silk from caterpillars to make silk for Thai clothing. It was very interesting. One staff would be at one place and show you how to do that step(s), then they will let you try if you want to. I think that this time is very special to me because I get to go with my family, 3 cousins, and other relatives such as: aunt, uncle etc.
