Band-the void

What did you think was going to happen? What clues in the text led you to believe this?
Answer: I thought that whoever gets the on with the black dot on it will leave the village, so that when time goes on the village doesn't get over populated. The clues that led me to this was that the color black doesn't sound very pleasent so it must be something bad. Also at the end of page 301 Tessie who had the black dot on her paper opened it last so everyone had the attention on her.
How did you feel when the end of the story was not given to you?
Answer: I was very curious about what was going to be inside the mysterious paper and wanted to open it. I think that everyone couldn't wait to open the piece of paper. I try to guess the ending by following the given clues but their wasn't any clues that led to the real answer.
What would you call this story? Why?
I would maybe call it "The Black Lottery" or something similar to kind of emphazie the badness of the lottery. I would name it like that because at first everyone seemed to be happy about the lottery but it is actually bad.
How did you feel when you read the end of the story? Explain.
The end of the story to me was very surprising because it turned out very bad when the first of the first clues were given that it should sound and be good.
Why did the author leave these voids in the story?
I think the author left these voids in the story to make the story more interesting. It also makes people think deeper into the story to beable to get more clues about the ending.

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.

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.
