Favorite Music/Artists


 My genera of music is rap/hip hop this genera is really good in my opinion it is the best type of music. My favorite rapper is Eminem the reason why I like him is because the way he makes music is  it's really good and the way he raps and the way he uses the words to rhyme with other words. Another rapper that I like is Kendrick Lamar I really like his music he is a good story teller he also raps in a unique way. Kendrick's music is different then anyone else's no one can rap like Kendrick he is a unique rapper. Sometimes Kendrick raps about controversial things/topics that are happening in our world or in the United States to make people think about those problems and to see the worlds conflicts. Another rapper/producer/artist is Kanye West the reason why I say producer is because he makes betas for other musicians and rappers he is a really good producer. Kanye can rap really good and make great music he's a genius at making music. These three rappers I named are really good and I admire them a lot the way they make music is very unique and the music sounds really unique and not like music that everybody else makes.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days


The book that I finished reading was Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days it is about the main character who is in many other diary of a wimpy kid books Greg. In this book he talks about his summer vacation and his experience throughout his summer and what he feel sand his emotions. In the beginning of the book Greg tries to spend time with his dad but is struggling because they don't really like the whole "father son bond" thing so they try but it does not work. Another thing Greg talks about is how he is an indoor person and likes to stay inside even though it's bright and sunny and fresh outside he stays and plays video games. When he and his best friend named Rowely go to a country club they order a lot of food and drinks and they don't pay for it they put the money due tirades Rowelys dad. When his Dad finds out about this he is not happy at all and tells them both that they have to pay him and come up with the money so Greg and Rowely come up with a solution to open up a lawn mower business but it fails very fast.

My personal reflection on this book is how it showed every situation that Greg was in and the pictures really captured the feeling and how the setting was. Another thing that I liked about this book is the dialogue in the dialogue really showed if the character was mad or happy or sad and I think the author added in certain words to show the feeling. In this book a lot of things happen and it would be to long to explain and talk about so you have to read the book to see what happens with Greg and his family. 1 last final thing I like about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books is you don't have to read them in order I just picked this one and started to read it. A reason why I say that is every knew Diary of a Wimpy Kid book is a different topic or place/situation that Greg and his family are in. Overall I really liked this book and would recommend to people who like a comic style of drawing and also if you like the series Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

The Beatles The Music Was Never The Same


 The book that I read was called the Beatles it was about the iconic band the Beatles. This book is a biography and it talks about each of the four members. When the Beatles started off they weren't known in Britain they were just another band but before that the four members were separated and didn't know each other but a small maned named The Quarry Men. John and Paul met each other there. When all the four members of the Beatles came together they clicked with each other and made really good music. When the Beatles became big in Britain for there unique sound America also liked them and when the Beatles decided to tour in America the U.S was thrilled. When the Beatles came to America hundreds of thousands of fans came at them and were screaming the Beatles had body guards and security all around them. When all four of the Beatles were first interviewed in America people loved there personalities. People also loved the interaction they had with them since the Beatles were very easy to be liked. There albums were on the charts for a very long time and the Beatles became millionaires very quickly.

 My personal reflection on this book is I enjoyed this book because it had a lot of facts and things I didn't know about the Beatles. I choose to read this book because I wanted to know more about the Beatles. A thing I liked from this book is it had some pages were there were pictures and with the pictures were captions under them explains what was going on in the pictures. Another thing I like about this book is it had chapters talking about each of the four members and what they did after the band broke up. I also enjoyed the detail in how each tour the Beatles did meant to them and the emotion they felt. I know that the Beatles changed music and introduced a new type of sound into music and that's why the cover of the book says "The Beatles the music was never the same" which shows that they changed music forever and they became iconic. Overall I really enjoyed this book and it's detail and great knowledge on the Beatles. I recommend this book to people who like music and especially the Beatles.

The 2017 NFL Draft


The 2017 NFL draft is today and I am kinda excited for it because my favorite sport is football and I am also excited to see who the Chicago Bears get. The past two years the draft was in Down town Chicago but currently today it will be held in Philadelphia. The Bears select 3rd overall the 1st team to select is the Cleveland Browns. The draft works like this the team that had the worst standings last season pick first overall then the second team who had the worst standings also the past season picks 2nd overall then so on and so on.

The team that won the SuperBowl picks last in the first round since they don't need that much help as the first team who picks first. In my opinion I think the Bears who pick 3rd overall will either get these two players you can only pick one player when you select I think the Bears will get either an offensive player QB Deshaun Watson from Clemson or a linebacker/a defensive back  Jabrill Peppers from Michigan State. A reason why I say the Bears will get Deshaun Watson is because the Bears need a quarterback the quarterbacks that they have now are not that good they need somebody young and who can learn not a quarterback who is already been in the league so the Bears need someone skilled so Deshaun Watson would be a great pick. A reason why I say the Bears might get Jabrill peppers is the Bears on defense are not that good they need help and Jabrill Peppers will do just that he is a skilled player and would improve the Bears defense. If the Bears get either one of these players they have the possibility of becoming a new innovative football team .These are my predictions on who the Bears will get in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Million Dollar Throw


 The book that I read was called the "Million Dollar Throw" it is about a kid named Nate Brodie who is starting quarterback for his 8th grade football team. When he plays football he wants to be relevant and make a difference in his team.  He has a friend who's name is Abby she is starting to go blind and there both scared and worried. One day Nate and his mom go to the mall and Nate sees a stand that's by a company called SportStuff the sign says that if you can make a Throw from the 30 yard line into a target then you win a million dollars. During this time Nate signs up and is given a number so when they announce the number on TV you can see if you won or not and the chances of winning were really small. But Nate heard his number and was selected to attempt to throw the football into the target a couple of days before Thanksgiving. But before this Nate goes through hard times with his friend Abby and his parents have problems with paying bills and keeping there house. I will not say if Nate made the throw.

 My personal reflection to this book is I enjoyed this book and the great detail in it. I liked the detail because it shows how each character was feeling during hard times and what type of life they were going through. Another thing that I like about this book is how the story is set up and in what way it goes and the things that are contained in it. Another thing that I like about this book is how it's connected to football because football is my favorite sport so I also like that. Another reason why I picked this book is because this story seems like it could happen in real life so I like the realism. One thing that I kinda didn't like about the book is how it didn't really have a lot parts were it talked about how Nate did in school or if he was having trouble in school. Overall I like this book and it's detail and I recommend this book to people who like football,realistic fiction.

Things I Enjoy about Spring


 Things that I enjoy about spring is seeing that the weather is nice and that the sun comes out earlier so it's a nice to start of the day like that. Another thing that I enjoy about spring is how the weather feels and it's just a nice atmosphere. I also like spending time with my family I enjoy the interaction when the weather is nice because it's good when I spend time with my family I feel happy around them. Another thing I like about Spring is that it is a sign that the school year is very close to being done so I like that feeling but I also get a little scared because I am going off to high school and I won't be in Heritage anymore. Knowing that the school year is almost done I enjoy the time and live day by day. I also like spring because it's another sign that summer is on it's way and I really enjoy summer because I can finally relax and not think about school. The things I don't like about spring is sometimes my eye itches and it bothers me but that haven't happened to me recently. Another thing that I don't like about spring is sometimes it rains and I know spring involves a lot of rain but when it rains and it looks gloomy outside it's not nice to see and it lowers people's moods. Overall I really enjoy spring and I and the things it has to offer like the scenery and spending time with your family spring is great.

The Chicago Bears

In this blog I am going to analyze the Chicago Bears. I will be talking about what I think about there past seasons and my predictions for the upcoming season. So I will start off with the team in general the Bears aren't the worst team in the NFL. The bears have some good qualities like they are successful running the football because of Jordan Howard who was second in rushing last year. The Bears also have an okay defense when everyone is healthy not when there's a bunch of back ups then the defense isn't good only when the starters are on defense. Now I am going to talk about the past season last season for the Bears was bad they started off the season okay then after the Halloween game against the Minnesota Vikings which they played really good in then the bye week came and after that the Bears weren't too good. Injuries messed up the Bears a lot and also player suspensions. In conclusion I hope that the Bears have a good upcoming season I hope they go 10-6 and make the wildcard.
