I find technology makes learning easier in school. I find it fun and it makes school not quite as boring as it usually is. I enjoy watching teachers do slides on the computers and I like being able to just look on school fusion instead of having to write everything down. I like that you can just put the book on school fusion and we don't have to worry about carrying it around,having enough copies or losing the books.
I think a downside to everything being on computers is that I remember stuff better when I write it out. Typing it kinda helps but its not the same, writing it out helps me remember it more than typing it does. I find I enjoy reading books on paper more than reading books on a computer screen.

Eating my last peice of cereal
If it was the end of the world and I could only grab one item I would rush to the cereal aisle and grab one of those big malt o meal cereal bags. I would rush home and hide it, then I would beg for food from other people. When everyones food was gone I would wait till I was excruciatingly hungry then I would get it and eat a bowl of cereal. Then i would hide it again for a day and have a bowl of cereal every day or two till the end.
If anyone asked for some I would share my bowl with them. I would feel like a hypocrit because I asked for food earlier. I would be so hard to see my little siblings go hungry I would have to share. I would even go a couple days without cereal for them. My family is everything to me it wouldn't be worth living if I knew they went hungry and died because of me. The food would be no help to me in the end and I would die of guilt.

The power of persuasion
If I had the power of persuasion life would be a lot easier. I would definitely use it all the time, and not all the uses would be very good. I would definitely use it on my parents. I would convince them to get me a new phone and be able to use it even when my grades are bad. I would persuade them not to give me chores and not to make me do homework. I would persuade them to give me a bigger allowance.
I would use it on my teachers too. I would make it so they gave me A's. I would persuade them not to give us homework. I would persuade the school directors to give the freshman more field trips and dances.
I would also use it to get stuff out of people. I would persuade movie theatres to let me and my friends in for free. I would persuade stores into giving me free stuff. I would go and persuade Stefanie Meyer to write a sequel to the host.
I think I might help people too. I could help the government in wars. I could go and persuade the enemy to stop fighting.

Book Review of The Count Of Monte Cristo
Write a review of the last good book you've read. You should include:1 paragraph summary- what's the story about?1 paragraph review- what did you like about the book? What could have been better?Your review: how many stars would you give it?
Th Count of Monte Cristo was really good. It was about a boy named Edmond Dantes. He was really successful. He was going to become the captain of a ship at age nineteen and marry the beautiful Mercedes. His life was going well till he got accused of being a bonapartist and sent to prison. While in prison he meets a "mad" priest who teaches him to read, write, use logic, fight, and many other things. Edmond inherits the priest fortune and gets out of prison to seek his revenge. The rest of the book is about how he found the people who turned him in and ruins their lives.
I really liked all the disguises and stuff he used.(Sinbad the sailor, Abbe Busoni, and others.) I thought it could have ended better. It was kind of a dead end and left me wanting more. I really wish it had a sequel so i could read that too. I would probably give it five stars out of five.
