Gates Of Fire-Code

1. How accurate were the predictions?
-My predictions were pretty close to accurate.

2. Which predictions were very accurate?
-It was historical fiction, based off the 300 Spartans who all died at the battle of Thermopylae, including their king Leonidas. It was partially about a war.

3. Which predictions were less accurate?
-It was about the battle of Thermopylae, but from the point of view of a squire, what events led him to Sparta, and what happened while he was in Sparta. It was also about how the Spartans were and people he met.

Election

I'm not sure I would even vote because most politicians can't keep their words and do what is best for themselves. In the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvdfO0lq4rQ they are talking about the economy, are their plans really going to work or are they just trying to convince people that they are better than their opponent? Seems like all you need to do to become President is be a smooth talker, Someone like Bush was able to become president and look where we are now.
I think McCain has less chance of winning due to the fact that Bush is republican and the cause of some pretty big problems http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/bush-still-very-much-a-topic-in-congressional-debates-2008-10-19.html talks about Bush being related to a lot of the debates and hurting the republican's chance of winning.
Either way people are going to think of reasons to make one seem worse than the other and vice-verse in order to support who their voting for. There are some sites dedicated just to talk bad about one person like http://www.obamamustgo.com/ just talks about what's bad about him without saying anything wrong that McCain does. Seems more like a popularity contest than a debate to me.

Pictures and Hero blogs(2

I just picked a random image to get this done, but I like this image because it looks like something from a textbook. What i think this photo shows about the person is he is a serious person that won't mess around. I also think the photo shows him as professional.

Hero and pictures Blog

Jason W. Adams is a veteran that was in the Navy for 20 years as a mechanic and driver. If he messed up during one of the wars it could have resulted in the destruction of a ship. He is my hero because he works hard to support his family.

Secret Life of Bees- Code

1.My predictions were mostly accurate.
2.What was right was that it was fiction, easy because I've read it before, and it was about a girl running away.
3.The girl running away was only partially right because it's more about the people she lives with and what she experiences with them.

EPIC

it's an epic because its a story about achilles, that has gods as characters, and it doesn't show the hero as being perfect.

Epic-A poem that narrates the story of a hero. something that is better than average. something that is unusually large.

3 Characteristics of an Epic Poem

Hero

Spiderman is a hero because he stops evil. Tries to rescue people, like when he stopped a train from crashing in the movie.

In the show the media tried to make him seem like a bad guy because he was always at the scene of the crime and he had powers like them and a costume.And since the media has a big impact on what people think some think of him as a bad guy in the show.
