GUILTY.

I think that Steve is guilty because of all the clues that he is leaving for us. When he started talking about being in the store and trying to keep him mind a blank screen, i thought well if he is trying to make it a blank screen he wants to block it out of his head and forget about it. But at the same time I think he feels bad about Mr. Nesbitt. When steve was holding the basketball and dropped it then ran away I think that he is guilty of being the lookout and signaling them. Therefore he is guilty.

21 Years. :O

I don't think I could live. I'm not trying to make people feel bad for me but if I was put in jail for something I did or something I wasn't even involved with I could not stand to not see outside and to not see my brothers and sisters. I would especially miss my family and all it has to offer. I mean what if I was in jail for that long and my mother or father died? I don't think I could bare it. Nothing in the world could ever replace my family. I would also miss out on everything, college, being married having kids. Even being an aunt. I can't even think of how scared I would be. Over time it would change me, I would be a different person. If I had been charged with murder or even robbery, I can't think of what my little sisters would think of me and how that would reflect on their lives.

Monster Vocab

What we did was we worked in partners and we each got a vocab word. When we got our word which was community we had to define the word and act it out. We thought of a town or a state, like our community has lots of people. We also thought of people gathering around and interacting. We also had to act out what our word was and everybody in our classroom had to guess what our word was based on what we did but we couldn't talk.

The book we are reading is called Monster. It's about a boy who is accused of murder. He says he is guilty so we thought of how the man in the story's community and town relates to our word. But we think his community is a lot different from ours because of the large population of gangs and violence that cannot relate to our town or community because it's very calm, friendly and peaceful.
