My Bottled Memory

If I could bottle up a memory and relive it it would be my 11th birthday party. I would bottle that memory up because I had such a great time with all my friends. I think I would open that memory up on my birtday every year and hope for another birthday as fun as my 11th birthday. At my birthday there were 8 girls. My sister Anna, my cousin Avery, my friends Lindsey, Carley, Stella, Olivia, Lizzie, my friend Joelle (who I don't get to see very much because she lives around Sullivan), and me. I had alot of fun on my birthday my mom let me miss school so my mom and me could go pick Joelle up and get everything for my party. When I would uncork that memory I think I would feel happy and exited.

Review For "Julie and Julia"

The movie is really good. It takes place for Julie in 2001. It's about Julia Childs and a Julie Powell who just moved into a new apartment in Brooklyn, New York.     Julie  works as a bureocrat in a tiny littlecubical helping people that survived 9/11 or their lost ones.One day she goes out with her stuck up friend s and finds out that one of them are doing a blog. That night with  her husband (she loves to cook by the way) and they came up with the idea of starting a  blog. Her blog is about taking a Julia Childs cookbook and cooking all the recipes through out the year. It also depicts how Julia Childs found out how to cook and her journey on creating her first cookbook "Mastering The Art Of French Cooking".

Labor Day And Its History

Labor Day comes every year on the first monday of September. The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Still no one quite knows who first thought of the idea. There was Peter McGuire who was then the general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. He was also cofounded the American Fediration of Labor. He first suggested "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold". Then there was Matthew Mcguire. Many of whom believe created Labor Day. He worked as a machinist and later was the secretary of a local 344 of the International Asscosiation Machinist in Patterson New Jersey thought of the idea in 1882 while sevring as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.

Anyhow Labor Day is a celabration of the achievements of an American worker and how they have added martirally to the highest standard of living. Read more HERE.

My Ex-Classmate

            Dear Jonathan,

    You ruined my life 15 years ago. I don't have the patience for you or anything you ask me to do. You can't just write me out of the blue one day and ask me to do something so difficult. I can't do what your asking of me. I'm sorry.  Please don't write me again.

                                                                              Sincerley,

The Gendercide in India

                                                                
          The gendercide in India is unbelieveable. Killing girls just because of their gender in inhumane. Also what they're paying to abort their baby girls I would think would be just exspensive as paying a dowry.  I think since there aren't alot of girls in certain villages that the dowry wouldn't have to be very high. In the video though they said if the dowry wasn't big enough once they got married the wifes would be beaten, burned, and, tortured. I don't understand why they are not trying to stop it, ecespecially if their president is a women.She should make new laws about gendercide better tougher laws that the govenment of India will actully enforce instead of just brushing them off. Tr also to create more jobs so the father of the family has work so they could pay for a dowry. They could try the law that China has about one kid only (not that I like that law) but maybe it would help decrease illeagal gendercide in India  I think that if they keep this up in about 40 to 50 years they are not gonna have any women left to have more baby boys and the population will slowly but surely start to decrease. In a nut shell I think that the gendercide in India is sickening and devasting that they treat girls the way that they do.

Mrs. DeBolt
1717 West Main Street
Festus, MO 63028

Dear Mrs. DeBolt:

My full name is Isabelle Grace D. I was born on St. Patricks Day and my dad tells me if I go to Ralla when I get older for college, on my birthday I'll be a superstar for the day. I also have 5 different nicknames I have collected,  they are Izzy, Bell, Bella, Bellie, and, Bella Blu. I have an older sister Sydney, a younger sister Anna (who I am exactly 15 months apart from to the date) and a 4 year old brother Otto. When Otto was born he had a heart defect and had to get open heart sugery at 2 days old he stayed in intensive care for two weeks until he could finally come home happy and healthy. My favorite color is purple and my favorite animals are a Sea Turtle and a Puffin Penguin. I've had 10 pets, 2 hamsters, 2 fish, 2 chicks, and 4 dogs.

I would like to get higher typing speeds so I could get better at typing faster. I would also like to learn little tips to help me if I get stuck on something. I would like how to learn to fully use my flashdrive since I've never had one before. I thing I like doing on the computer is watching funny videos.

I would like to learn about The Great Depression Era. That time fasinates me how people could live though those times & still have faith and the will to stay alive. I think it would be cool to do a project on The Great Depression because I'm sure I could find good information and pictures online.

Your Student,
    Isabelle D.
