Something that puts me out of my comfort zone is doing speeches. I think doing speeches gets me out of my comfort zone because I'm kind of a shy person. Another reason it puts me out of my comfort zone is because I don't like speaking in from of a lot of people.

During the weekend I'm going to be in Portland visiting my aunt and cousins. While I'm visiting them we will probably go to the movies and just chill at their house. When I come back home on Sunday I plan to sleep.

Getting through hard times

Something I do to get through hard times in my life is just go outside and ride my dirt bike. Riding my dirt bike helps me get through hard times because when I'm riding I don't have to be around other people. Also riding my dirt bike helps me relax because its something I enjoy doing.

This weekend I'm going up to Portland to visit with my Aunt and my Cousins. Another thing I'm going to do this weekend is sleep in. I might also go ride my dirt bike over the weekend also.

How I think people form their beliefs

I think people form their beliefs from family and friends. The reason I think people form their beliefs from family and friends is because if your around someone long enough than you might slowly start believing in what they believe in.

3 things i learned about Anne Frank

Something I learned about Anne Frank was that she was really into school. Another thing I learned about Anne Frank was that her and her family went into hiding in an attic. I also learned that Anne always wanted people to treat her like she wasn't a little girl and that she wanted to be treated like a woman.

I thought the movie Anne Frank was a good movie because it showed a lot of what happened. One thing that was different in the movie than in the book was that she changed some of the names but in the movie their real names were used. Another thing I noticed is that in the book Anne spends a lot more time with Peter but in the movie they don't really spend as much time together.

During the weekend my brother and I went to Forest Grove to spend the weekend with our dad. While we were at our dad's house we had fun hanging out and watching TV. Another thing we did while we were at our dad's house was ride our dirt bikes. It was kinda boring riding our dirt bikes there because he lives on a dead end road and there wernt really many places we could ride.

Dear Anne,
Something you should know about life today compared to life back then is that if you were alive today you wouldn't have to be in hiding. Another thing that would be different is that you wouldn't run out of food like you did. Something else that would be different is that since you wouldn't be in hiding you would have more choices with boys and you wouldn't have to be stuck with Peter.


Sincerely, Anthony

In 2005 I went to the doctors and I found out that the valves to my heart were leaking and was going to have to have open heart surgery. In December of 05 I went in and they performed open heart surgery on my heart. I also had to have another surgery last summer on July 6 and they performed the same surgery.

A time that made me realize I was growing up was when I started working. It made me realize I was growing up because my parents stoped paying my phone bill so I had to get a job so I could pay the bill. When I first got a job I was 15 years old.

This weekend I'm going to stay at home and relax. I might also go dirt biking with my neighbors in our back yards. Another thing I plan to do this weekend is sleep in late. If it rains this weekend while I'm dirt biking it would make it more fun because it's fun dirt biking in the mud because it's slippery and wet.

Anne says "Things are just as bad as you yourself care to make them". I think Anne is trying to say that you could make a situation bad if you wanted to, but you could also make a situation good if you wanted to. I think I would agree with her because you are in control of yourself and how you handle things.

One thing I like to do in school is reading I guess. I like to read in school because if I do it at school I don't have to do it at home. One thing I really don't like in school is math. I don't like math because I think it's boring.

So far in the book Anne Frank and her family had to go into hiding. They have been in hiding for a long time now. Anne also started to have a crush on Peter and she writes about him a lot. They are also running out of food to eat. I think that the book is a good because it tells you what they had to go through back then.

Over spring break my friends and I went dirt biking a lot and it was fun. Another thing I did over spring break was sleep in and that was pretty fun too. Over spring break I didn't do any reading because I forgot to read.

For spring break I plan to hang out with some friends and party. I also plan to ride my dirt bike a lot. Another thing I plan to do this spring break is sleep in.

Yes I think Anne would have wanted her diaries published. I think that she would like the fact that thousands of people have read her diaries because she would want people to know what they had to go through.

My favorite time of the day is during the day and at night. I like it during the day because that's when I ride my dirt bike. I also like it at night because that's when I get to sleep.

My opinion of Anne's relationship with her sister Margot is that they don't seem that close. I don't think it's changed since they started going into hiding. It doesn't really seem like they like each other that much because they don't talk much.

I agree with Anne when she says, "Whoever is happy will make others happy too." I agree with her because sometimes your friends could be feeling sad and you come over and you're in a happy mood and it cheers them up.

Favorite way to spend free time

One of my favorite ways to spend free time is dirt biking. It's one of my favorite ways to spend free time because it's fun and I enjoy doing it. Another way I like to spend my free time is working on cars. I like working on cars because I think its fun.

While you were gone last week in the book Anne Frank we read about Anne and Peter were starting to talk to each other. Also we read about Anne having a crush on Peter. Anne started to notice that Peter kept staring at her in a way he never used to.

If I were Anne Frank today and had to hide from the Taliban in Iraq or Afghanistan something that would be the same is that I would have to go into hiding and it would be very boring. I think something that would be different is that I would still be able to talk to Friends because these days people have cell phones and Internet but back then they didn't.

I think than Anne would get along better with her mom if she didn't back talk her. I also think she would get along better with her mom if she respected her. Anne would probably get along better with the Van Daans if she ignored them.

Yes I had a crush on somebody in grade school and middle school. I think the difference between having a crush and being in love is that having a crush means that you like somebody. I think being in love means having more than a crush on somebody and that you wanna spend your life with that person.

One thing I can relate to about the book Anne Frank is how Anne doesn't get along with her mother very well. It reminds me of my mom and I because we don't really get along all the time. One of the reasons my mom and I don't get along is because she likes to tell me what to do and I hate it when people tell me what to do.

This weekend I'm going to sleep in and hang out with friends. Also I'm going to ride my dirt bike for most of the weekend. My friends and I are going to ride our dirt bikes in the woods and in our backyards.

One fear I have is snakes. I have a fear of snakes because when I was two my uncle had a pet snake and it chased me around the house.

Mrs. Van Dan is a very pushing, selfish, cunning, calculating, and she is not a content person. Mrs. Van Dan is friendly to stranger's and she is especially friendly to men. Mrs. Van Dan likes to flirt with other men even though she has a husband. I wouldn't be able to live with Mrs.Van Dan because shes very annoying.

Anne's father is a nice and friendly person. He also treats other people with respect.

I get the news from the TV. I think that the best way to get the news is either from the TV or from the paper.

Yes I think a diary is a good way too learn about World War two. I think it's a good way to learn about World War two because a diary is real. One thing that's good about it is that it's not made up.

Since we started the book Anne Frank I've learned that they went into hiding. I've also learned that while they're in hiding they cant go outside. They also have to be really quiet so that they don't get caught.

I feel loved when my four year old niece cries for me when she misses me. I also feel loved by my dog because shes always jumping around and trying too lick me.

Today I have to go to work at 11:30 am. Than tomorrow night my brother and I are going to our dads house for the weekend. While we're at our dads house well probably just hang out or go see a movie.

Anne's mother doesn't really get along with people. Lately Anne and her mom have been getting along better. Anne's mom is irritable around Anne.

I don't usually read outside of class. If I were to read outside of class I would probably read a book. I would probably read before I went to bed at night.

I don't know what Anne means by saying she must become good through her own effort, without examples and without good advice.

Despite everything Anne said that she believes that people are really good at heart. I agree with Anne because not everybody is bad by the things they do.

One thing other people do that irritates me is when people try and tell me what to do. I don't like when people try and tell me what to do because I don't like being bossed around. I think one thing I do that irritates people around me is when I ignore them.

The thing I would miss the most if I had to go into hiding like Anne Frank would probably be my dirt bike. I would miss it the most because I dirt bike almost evert day. Also because I think its really fun.

I think they chose to help because they were their friends.

The Holocaust

There were about 6 million Jewish people that were murdered and 1,500,000 of them were children. Gypsies, Homosexuals, and variety of groups that the Nazis considered less than human were persecuted.

Something that makes me happy is....

Something that makes me happy is dirt biking. Dirt biking makes me happy because its fun when I do tricks and when I go over jumps.

Reality Show

I don't know what reality show I would like to participate in because I wouldn't want to be in one.

So far i know that Anne Frank had to go into hiding because she was a jew.

I don't remember a time istook up for someone.

what i know about the Holocaust

I know that in the Holocaust the Nazi's killed over six million Jews because they thought that German's were racially Superior. I don't know what else I want to know about the Holocaust.

This weekend I'm celebrating my brothers birthday. I also have to work this weekend. I'm also going to sleep a lot.

Bob was a construction builder and was building a house one day and than he fell off the roof and died.

Haiti Eartquake

If I was there I probably wouldn't know what to do or where to go.

This weekend I'm going snowboarding with my dad and brother up at Mt. Hood on Saturday. Also I'm going to one of my grandpas funeral today.

1. I was born in Gresham, Oregon
2. Then in 2000 I moved to Portland, Oregon
3. In 2005 I moved down to Salem, Oregon
4. Now I might move back down to Portland

A time I remember breaking the law is when me and a few friends caught a PGE building on fire. We didn't know there were cameras and we got caught and had to pay to fix it.

Over the break

During break I slept a lot and hung out with friends. My friends and I went dirt biking over the break and it was fun.
