     The story begins in August 1962 and is narrated by 53 year old Ailibeen, who is a black maid who takes cares of white babies. Ailibeen trys to escape for the night and to have a break, but it is almost impossible to sneak out for the night. She is still motivated to sneak out at least once, she has to plan it out.  After a few weeks. Ailibeen managed to make a plan and is planning to use it. Her plan is to put pillows in her bed and then sneak out of the window, while the whole house is sleeping.. Therefore Ailibeen attempted to try the plan out, it did work. She was able to sneak out in the middle of night and she did roam the city alone, as she was a free women. She still had to go back to the house before everyone woke up. A couple of days later everyone in the house started acting weird towards her. She noticed that they were not interacting with her and also that they had put locks on all the windows. Ailibeen was thinking if they founded out that she left the house. Now Ailibeen is scared and she is very alert about the situation.

 

      Well I think that what Ailibeen is going through is not right at all (although  it certainly does not happen today) At that time black people were still discriminated, and slavery was abolished at this time. However they treated Ailibeen like a slave which was not right. I do feel sorry for Ailibeen for what she is going through no one should be able sneak out so just they can have a good time (freedom).

    According to the quiz I took, it stated that  non- fiction is my favourite genre when it comes to reading. It said that “ I like to read information that is that is based in reality” Which this is 100% true. I do like non- fiction stories/novels. I like it because it is very interesting to read and interpret facts. Also I read non fiction stories (based on a true story). I feel that you can lear life lessons and facts when you read non- fiction. I believe that fiction does not really help you at all it just widens your imagination.

       The last thing I read was an article from the sunsentinel (which I read daily), it was titled 

"Car thief flees police at over 100 mph after stealing Mercedes in Boynton. The name of the artcle got me so excited so I decided to click on it. I read the whole article and was kind of surprised that the suspect tried to run from the police even when he had no where to go. These kind of articles het me really excited. I enjoy reading this type of work because it is very interesting on what is happening in our community, everyone should know what is happening in our community. After reading the article I realized that how some people are stupid, why would you run the police when you know you are going to be caught? I asked my self. Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this artcle and im looking foward for new article's to read, you will never know what you'll read.

One Day Blog By:Amaan Noor

                                      







       My parents are very strict especially my mom.
If I get bad grade on a test or an assignment I usually get grounded. I think that my parents are really strict because every little bad thing I do, I get a consequence. I think that's not fair that my little brother gets less consequences then me. I think that my little brother gets away with everything. When the time comes when I become a parent I will be less strict. I won't always ground them always when they get a bad grade. I will be two times less strict then my parents.
           If I was a parent the same thing i would do is give a very small consequence. Small consequences like grounded for one day or  have to do extra chores.
But I won't be that less strict. Just like my parents I would give some consequences for every bad thing they do. I think that my parents think that this way of discipline Is right for me, although sometimes I get out of hand.

Two Things that we will remember In 2010

                               



                  One thing that I will remember in  2010
 Is the Haiti earthquake.The earthquake occurred
 on January/12/2010. It was so sad that over 230,000
people died in the earthquake. It also Left thousands of people homeless in Haiti.I think that it was one of the saddest days In 2010.

   

          Another thing that I will remember In 2010 is the World cup. I will always remember watching the world cup with my my family. I would remember watching all the games and see who would win, My favorite part was watching the playoffs and the championship. The best part was watching Spain winning.



                



   
                      Good Times I will always remember



   




  

Video Games By;Amaan Noor

   

 

I think that the mature video games should be available for 18 years and older. I think that the supreme court should not be able to sell the teenagers violent games. Every time before you buy a violent game they should ask for identification card [Id] just like before you buy alcohol and cigarettes at a store.

I think that really violent games that have intense violence,blood and foul language should be for the 18 years old and up. The mild violence,bloody,foul language games should be for the teens. Last but not least the no violent games should be for everyone.

I would draw the line by that you will be arrested if you possess 

 an overrated game if you are under the age of 18. It is the up to the parent to let there child play the overrated game or not. But they can also get in big trouble if it goes to far.

 I think that violent games affect young people in general.

Once you play the game it is in your head the whole day. It also distracts you in school and it also makes violent sometimes. Once a 17 year boy from New Orleans played Grand Theft auto for 3 days straight and finished the game. The next day he took his dad's gun and start shooting at people just like in the game. He ended up killing 2 and wounded 3 people. Now he is in prison serving his time.     

Questions about President Obama By; Amaan Noor

                                            Questions about President Obama
  
             If I were to ask President Obama a question I would ask him that  " What are you doing to Stop the war in Afghanistan.



        I would ask this question because we are spending billions of dollars on the war when we could be spending on other things . We could be spending on education, transportation and many things. Another reason i would ask this question is that there are thousands of American dead and wounded. Also many civilians and local residents in Afghanistan are dying from this war. If there was war in Afganistan this world would be a better place to live.


      If I were president America would change. I would give a tax cut to all families and spend more on education. But most of all I  would stop the war. I would try to sign a peace treaty or a cease fire. I would do any thing to stop the war. If i were president I would help 3rd world countries form there economy. If I were president this world and especially the U.S would be a happier and peaceful place to live.

Cyberbullying By; Amaan Noor

                     

Cyberbullying By; Amaan Noor

     

                            Cyberbullying is when a child or teen is being harassed,made fun of,humiliated and  embarrassed by another child or teen by using the internet and mobile phones. Cyberbullying is usually is used by texting and social networks such as myspace, facebook etc.
     
                    I think that Cyberbullying should be handled really seriously and strictly. I think that the kids that are doing cyberbullying should be immediately suspended and possibly expelled. They should also charge the child or teen fully extent in the court of law depending on age. The family of the victim that is bullied should also file a lawsuit against the other childs or teens parents.
                    Parents should also be held for responsibility if there child is cybebullying. There parents should also pay a fine to the victims parents. I think that the environment is also the blame for it.
It also depends if you live in a high crime rate area or a low crime rate area.
                  Cyberbullying could be prevented in many ways. One way is that there could be counseling to keep teens in the right track. Another way is that there could be 24 hour  anonymous tip line so that  the child or teen does not take matter in there own hands. There can also be a service that blocks texting during schools hours and a website that shows what the text messages said and when were they  sent and received only viewed by parents. Here are the facts that cyberbullying could be prevented, who should face the consequences and what should be done.THANK YOU for reading my article
