-different colors
-can't really see the sky
-little kid working out on the field
-he's white
-it's sunny because he has shade
inferences
-all the different colors have different meaning
-if this was in the days of slavery, a white person is doing the work
-its very sunny and hes very tired
- the green might mean hope
I think that the artist, Van Gogh was trying to say don't give up that you'll get there. The color green can repersent hope. that you will get what you need or want if you just try hard enough. that life might be hard but its not going to change.

the lightning theif -- extra credit
The lightning thief is a very interesting book.I think the author, Rick Riordan is a very talented.
Percy Jackson is one of the main character. He is a very troubled kid that has dyslexia he can't read that well
because the words come out of the page and has to go to a very special school for people with dyslexia.
Every year he gets attacked by a monster or he gets in danger some how or another. His Latin teacher is a
centaur.
Grover a half-blood searcher realizes percy he is a half-blood, half human half god. Percy goes on a quest
to save the world from having a war that may cost the world to end. a very important weapon was stolen "the
master bolt" which is a lightning bolt that belongs to the god, Zeus. The book is based on Greek gods and
myths. The gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and more. The Greek gods and myths were told to explain
how and why lightning happened, and weren't you went if you died and more beliefs to explain why things
happened.
I watched the movie of the lightning thief , but in my opinion the book was way better. The thing about
movies is that the plot is different and there are different settings. Its like watching or reading a new book or
movie. I would rate the book on a scale from 1 to 10 a 9. It was very fun to read the book because there
was a lot of suspension and action that made it really interesting . I feel that I learned a lot about Greek gods
and myths while enjoying the book.

author's note
As I was growing up, I was the youngest child in the family, my brothers were 31 and 34 I was only 5. I got everything I wanted. A year later my brother had a baby. It changed everything.I didn't get the attention I wanted and everyone stopped calling me adorable and ignored me when the baby was around . I know how it feels to be ignored.
the book im writing about is about Ryan a 6 year old that his mom is having a baby. when his mom has a baby everyone ignores him and gives more attention to the new born baby. he grows jealous and is angry at the baby. he yells at the baby when noones around...what will he do next....

social awareness
He is tempted to commit suicide because he feels really guilty. I think this is very important because he doesn't
get any help from his parents or his shrink that he was seeing. People in real life think about killing themselves
because they think they are pressured too much and they are stressed out. in the book I was reading Andy
was really stressed out of his friend's death and in the end he killed him self. i believe adults should become
more responsible of their children. Parent's should ask simple questions to their child's like 'how was school
today'. to see how they're feeling or at least to show that they care about them. everyday when I get home my
parent's ask me to tell them how school was like, they really care.Kids are stressed out today because they
feel like they are gettin to much homework especially in 8th grade.
I think that teachers and parents should really help kids understand and show examplesof how its done. I
would recommend the book 'tears of a tiger' to anyone who feels that they want to experience being uncared
for. be happy for what you have.
