Justice Project

I think that there are ways to make the project easier/better for next year's students. Like, explain more. When we did the bibliography, it was hard because I wasn't sure how to do it. I think you should keep the outline thing. It made it a lot easier when writing the essay. So, that's about all I think of for making it better.

Recommend

I would recommend my choice book to girls. More for girls who like to read romance books. I would recommend it to them because my book is mostly about that and I don't think guys would enjoy it very much. It was written more for girls.SO, I'd recommend this book to girls who like romance novels.

The Road Not Taken

I think the poem, "The Road Not Taken" means to not just do what everyone else is doing or the more popular choice. Basically to do what you think is right or want. Not what other people do, to be your own person and make the right choice based on you. In this part of the poem is where I got that idea from:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
  I took the one less traveled by,
  And that has made all the difference."
If you just follow what everyone else is doing, then you won't be your own person. For example, if you go for ice cream and everyone else get's chocolate, but you wanted vanilla, and you got chocolate anyway because everyone else did would be being a follower. But when everyone got chocolate and you got vanilla since you wanted it, you would be your own person and made your choice based on not what was more popular, but on what you wanted.

Essay

I think my essay is going well. The challenging part was the research of everything. Some easy parts was putting it all together into an essay because I'm pretty good at it, in my opinion. The outline was helpful for setting up the essay. I think a lot of the research we did, we didn't actually need. I basically only used the research on the case I did. I need more instruction in the whole citation thing. All in all, I think I did pretty well on the essay.

Conflict

There are a couple of conflicts happening in my book, so I'll just pick one of them. Dakota's girlfriend got in a car accident and died. He had to speek at her memorial service and he got mad at her younger brother and attacked him. Dakota got suspended for 5 days. His mom made him stay with his grandparents while he was suspended, whom he hates. I think when he goes back to school, he will have to apologize to her brother and stuff.

Main Character

In my book, there is more than one maine character. It has points of view from 4 different people. So far, there has been two which is Jena and Dakota. So far, I like Jena better because I can relate more to her than Dakota. We are the around the same age and stuff. So, so far my favorite character is Jena.

Article

I think Justice was not served in that article. He only smuggled them because he thought they were fascinating and he made his living off of them. They should have given him a less harsh punishment. 20 years and a $250,000 fine was too much for this case. So, justice was not served in this article.
