"You and Me"

This novel brings me mixed emotions, it's funny at time but it ca get sad as well. It makes me feel relaxed and calm due to what I've read so far. They're both stuck on an elevator and they have nothing to do since there's no reception, therefore they can't call for help. They're stuck in there and in the mean time they get to know each other. It makes me feel some type of way that I can't explain. It's actually a book I'm enjoying so far.

"Nobody was here"

In today's reading something interesting that I found out was that Penelope (the main character) loves to copy people's hand writing. Every time she finishes her homework he starts writing as a reward. From what I read so far I think that maybe something bad is going to happen and she's going to get a detention and she's going to forge her mom's signature since every single hand writing she copies looks good,

"Nobody was here"

          Right now, there are only two main characters being talked about. Their name's are Penelope and Stacy. They're both best friends and have been since they were 6 years old. Only now, Penelope doesn't know what to do about her friendship, if her best friend is hanging out with the two most extra girls in her grade, Lillian Lang and Annie Reed.
          The setting mostly takes place at school, Penelope talks about Dr. Alvin who was the teacher giving a small summery about middle school and Mr. Bobkin who was the Algebra teacher. She also mentions that she lives on the Upper West Side of New York City, making Stacy live right across the park.
          They show their love towards the Upper West Side by shouting "West is best!" When the Elston Elemntary's lone West Side school bus parted. Then again, shouting "East is least!" When the East Side ones arrived.

Title of the book: Nobody was here
Book by: Alison Pollet

Based on the cover of the book, I think it's going to be about a girl who didn't have anyone. A girl who didn't have friends, or somebody she could trust. She didn't have anybody that was there for her in general.

From what I've read so far the main character is a girl named Penelope. She just started 7th grade at Elston Prep and she has a best friend named Stacy who as of right now isn't getting along with. She feels alone, and she has no one to talk to about the way she feels about 7th grade and what's going through her head.

Thoughts on Animal Testing

     I think that all animals should be somewhat treated the same. Why? Because not all animals have feelings. For example, if a dog starts chasing you you're not going to treat it the same as if a venomous snake was chasing you. So, not necessarily all animals should be treated the same.
     In my opinion, I don't think we should test on animals because it's just such a heartless thing to do. Even if it's to save 1,000,000 lives, it wouldn't be worth it. Many of those people have done harm to animals so why would it be a good thing? Just something to think about.

I've learned that mutations are random and you're not able to prevent these.

Hederochromia is the one I'm most interested mutation I've learned so far. I think I like this one the best because it's something rare that doesn't happen on everyone. 

I somewhat liked sketchnoting but it all felt so rapid I barely caught things on paper. I would try to get more information next time.

About me

As you can see, my name is Wanda Barrientos. I'm a gymnast and I love playing sports. I'm currently attending Freedom Middle School and I'm in 8th grade and so far I've been liking the changes in between days. I feel like a change is good once in a while instead of sticking to the same routine every day. In my opinion I've been doing decent in biology. I find it interesting learning about everything humans go through and have.
