People think that to be a hero, they must do a good deed. Not really, being a Hero is way much more then that. Firefighters of course, save lives but that doesn’t really make them a Hero even though saving lives is good. To be a Hero, you must be helping a lot of people and not just one single person. You have to be selfless and Fearless and want no reward in return of doing something awesomely good. You obviously can be  some huge jerk, you have to be nice and caring. Even though how hard the thing is, you must stick to it no matter what. You basically have to dedicate your life in some sort of way to be truly a Hero. You can learn more stuff  here.

A very good example of a Hero is Terry Fox. Terry Fox had cancer is his leg so he needed to get a Prosthetic one. Even though he has a Prosthetic leg, he still tried to run across Canada. He dedicated his life to raise money for cancer research  and ended up dieing on his run across Canada. Even though he died, he inspired a lot of people. People now a days still do a ‘Terry Fox run’ and try to earn enough money for Cancer research. There was also this guy, named Rick Hanson that wheel-chaired around Canada to earn money for Cancer. The Terry Fox cancer research fund still goes around today even though he is dead. Terry Fox even has his own statue. Now that, is a Hero. 

If I had one wish for the world it would simply be to end world hunger. World hunger is a huge issue today, did you know that every 3.4 seconds a child dies of hunger? Sad, isn’t it? World hunger affects a lot of places but it affects these areas the most: Asia, Africa and Latin American countries. It’s sad to know that so many child and adults die of malnutrition and hunger in these areas. Most families have to live off only $1 a day. Just for the price of one single missile, a School of hungry children could eat lunch for a whole 5 years. That’s insane. Children are a large percent of malnutrition/hungry people. About around 160 million kids die each year! Even in the US there is hungry children. 1 out of 12 people in the US even goes to bed hungry each night. The effects of world hunger is bad. People die because of it, most people under 5 years die. This issue is very important because the eventually there will be no people left in those areas, because they all died of hunger. A solution to this problem could be if some people donated spare change, or if the US would stop wasting all of its money on its military they could help. Approximately 183 million children are hungry/malnourished and weigh less than they should weigh. This site here is very good for more information.  There is more hungry children then there are hungry adults.

These Chapters are very interesting. They are both sad,exciting,more sad then awesome. Some of the sad things are that Johnny died and because of that Dally killed himself by pointing an unloaded gun towards the police who were chasing him and they shot him. Some exciting parts are that Pony doesn’t have to go to jail or a boy’s home. I really like these chapters unlike the first five or six. I wonder what it is like for pony, having 2 of his best friends dead. Just a random thought, but I thinks its funny because out of the three brothers, Darry’s name is the only normal on or closest to normal compared to Soda pop and then Ponyboy. For some reason I didn’t like Johnny that much at all. My favourite is Soda,Darry,Pony and Dally.

This part of the book from chapter five to chapter eight is very interesting!  First of all, Ponyboy is trying to be drowned by a Soc. Johnny, in self-defense, stabs the Soc so he would let go.  Ponyboy is alright but the Soc bled to death. Pony and Johnny run to go see Dally so Dally could help them. Dally gives them money, a Gun and tells them where to go. Johnny, feeling very bad about murdering someone, goes with Pony to a farm place and hides in an old church for five days. Dally comes, and they start to leave but the church set on fire! Pony and Johnny go inside and rescue 3 kids.  Pony almost burns to death, Dally burns him arm bad and Johnny had a ceiling board fall on him and break his neck. They all end up in the Hospital.
My favourite part of the story is when Johnny and PonyBoy are in the old abandon Church. While they are in the Church, hiding, they decide to change their appearance so the ‘Fuzz’ don’t recognise them. (Fuzz are Cops) Ponyboy had to cut off his ‘Tuff’ (Cool) long brown hair and dye it an icky Bleach Blonde. Ponyboy isn’t too happy to do that because he loved his hair. For that five days they had to eat Baloney sandwiches. ( That would suck to have to eat only Baloney for a week, personally I hate Baloney) I like how Pony reads the story ‘Gone with the wind’ to Johnny to make the days go by a little bit faster. Another part that I like is when PonyBoy and Johnny risk their lives to save those three little kids stuck inside the burning church. A part I dont like is how Johnny Broke his back and was paralyzed. Another part I dont like is that SodaPop(Ponyboy’s brother) and PonyBoy  have a chance of being put in a boy’s home. A very awesome part is when Ponyboy goes running up to Darry and hugs him, because before they didn’t have a very good relationship towards each other. That part was my most favourite.

The book we are all reading right now is called the Outsiders. It is a very interesting book. There is this boy and oddly, his name is PonyBoy. He has two brothers,Darry and Sodapop. Yes those are silly names but you eventually grow to like them. I think the author picked good names for them. I kinda don’t like how they always have to be careful because they might get jumped by a group of upper-class kids called the socs. I like to just call them Socks even though that’s not their name, but it looks like thats what soc is ’spose to sound like. Some times I woner how it would be like back then 30 some years ago when this book was set to be. It’s funny how they use words we wound.nt ever use now. I really like this book, it’s getting more and moreinteresting as you read on. It seemed boring but it’s awesome@
Right now i’m at an extremely good part in the bok where I can’t wait to read on.

In social studies right now at school we are learning about ancient Egypt. It’s a very interesting subjects and I like learning about it because it’s a fun subject and way better then social studies in grade Six. It’s fun learning about the Pyramids and how everyday life went for the average farmer or peasant. It must have been awesome to be the Pharaoh, because you get your own pyramid and statues of yourself with people bowing down to you.  Last week we played this Egyptian game called Children of the Nile. It was pretty fun, you got to be the Pharaoh of your own mini city and expand it by adding houses and schools,temples and farmers, builders and stores. Also once you got pretty far in the game you could build really tall and awesome pyramids for when your Pharaoh like dies. We learn also about the Gods and Pharaohs of Egypt and basically everything that has to do with Egypt because Egypt is cool. Someday I wanna go there and like find a pyramid and explore inside of it. Bye.

Well, it’s been eight days since school start, truthfully and weirdly, I love it! It has been so much fun, almost every part of it (Except math). This has been the very first time in my life I have been actually excited to go to school in the morning. Last year I hated school but now I love it. The whole ‘working on laptops’ thing is awesome, it’s so much better then writing on paper and being boring like that. My favourite part of school would probably be social studies. I like Home EC too but I don’t like the book work, I’ll probably like it better when we get to cook or sew. I also have an awesome teacher. Probably my favourite teacher in the school. My favourite part about the classroom would probably be the couch and the fact that we don’t always have to work at our desks. I think the rest of the school year will be super awesome! I think gym is awesome too, I just don’t like the volleyball part because frankly,I really stink at it. I can’t wait to practice basketball because that is my all time favourite sport. Well, I’ll be sure to write more blogs later.PEACE

Hello, how’s it going? My name is Kennedy but sometimes people call me Ken. Now summer is over,and it’s back to school time.
