The Great Gatspy

“The great Gatspy” was one of the books the intrigued me the most. It reminding me of the movie “Finding Forrester”, which was about a darken skin boy who loved to write and play basketball. He then was offered a scholarship to this prestige school. His writing professor was reading one of his essay and thought he got help and cheated just because he was from the suburbs and wasn’t rich. This reminded me of the book because Gatspy was known for lots of things, a murderer, a spy, a myth, and never even met him. This brought up “don’t judge a book by its cover”. Have you ever been judged by someone because the heard from someone else something about you or the way you look. So watching the movie made me wonder why the professors would think he cheated and that he didn’t write this paper. Then reading the book when they thought that the Gatspy was some kind of monster. So remember this, is to not judge a book by its cover.

PLAYING IS OK!!

“This experience made me think that I don’t have to grow up so quickly.” – Makenna Armedilla

I don’t remember playing as a child and I mean playing or hanging with other people when I young. My dad would always be working and my mom lived in another state while I was living with my grandparents. My grandparents were old so they couldn’t take me out to my friends. I would often go on my Ipad or be watching the television when I was young and I still do it now but I mostly spend my time on my phone. Since I didn’t really socialize when I was younger, it made me really introverted.

Last week, my english class and I went outside and did activities that doesn’t use any electronics. I thought it was going to be hard since I don’t socialize with people well and I thought I was going to be lonely.  The first 10 minutes was ok then I went up to a group and I ask if I can join wondering if they were going to say yes. They said yes and I sat down and joined them and played a board game. In the end I had fun and it turns out that you don’t need electronics to have fun, that you just need someone to spend time with. I think all schools should do this because there are those who don’t have friends, no one to hang out with. By doing this then we all can meet new people and make new friends. Also on that day we can’t use any of our electronics, and we can not do our homework or even study.

Now we see adults spending most of their time at work and not knowing what their kids are doing. The only time adults feel nice and free is their day off. You guys don’t think that playing is just for children? Cause it’s not, playing can be for all ages to let of some self-esteem. Cause now teens just wake up, some will skip breakfast, go to school, go home, study, eat then go to sleep late and the same over again. While the adults are the same but they also have to come home make food, bring their work home and also have to sleep late. There should be some breaks so they won’t be to stressed out.

In the future when I am a parent, I’ll make plan that on a certain time of day I have a break and go grab a coffee with a friend and as for my kids I wont allow them to be on their electronics all the time I would take them to a family members house or their friends. Getting older isn’t just about having to work and not being able to have fun. You can also hang out with your kids or with your niece or nephew if you don’t have kids.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS TO YOUR KID

“The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.”

Going through the years from when I was a child and now,  i’m just going to say that I still love reading children’s books. Children’s books gives you a lot to think about because they have meanings to it. My all time favorite authors would be Shel Silverstein because she writes so many good books and poets. One of my favorites books from her would be The Giving Tree because it’s about the kindness of giving when you have nothing. In the story the boy asks for apples so he can sell them. Then he asks for branches so he can make a house and keeps on asking until there was nothing but an old stump. As the boy got older he last request was asking for a quiet place to sit and rest. Its about the sacrifice you make for someone who needs it more then you. In the story the tree is lonely and wants to make friend meaning the boy. If you had read the book every time the boy comes the tree is happy. One of my favorite lines from the book would be “I wish that I could give you something but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I’m sorry”. In this quote the tree is sorry because she had nothing left to give to the boy who had grown up but there was something the tree gave which was a place to sit. Reading this to your kid and explaining it to them when they are older can teach them to be nice and give even when they don’t have much because a little can be a huge difference to the other person.

“You are the high court, your word is good enough!”

You might relate to this to yourself, or something else. Someone that’s is higher than you, more powerful than you that can influence others in a matter of seconds. Take this for example, there’s a popular girl or boy making up this lie about someone that’s has a lower status then everyone else. There would be those who believe the popular student and not listening to the person that’s being accused of, just because they don’t know who she is and they know the popular student. Another example if this never happened to you would be the paparazzi’s, if you ever saw magazines and the news, you would see famous celebrities. The paparazzi’s would take a picture making it look like their doing something their not and get money for it. There are those who believe it because it’s on paper and there are pictures. In the end, they might be higher than you but you don’t have to be their puppet and listen.  Stand up for yourself and make let yourself who you want to be. If you have a goal “push upon your limits” and do it. If you like to read books and you know where I got this quote from come reach me on my Facebook page with this link,
