blog about whatever(:
Halloween is one of favorite holidays, its the end of October. This year its on a Sunday and we have school the next day which i don't agree with. I think we should have off the next day, i want to go out for Halloween but its not that big of a Halloween anymore to kids my ages. Kids my age grew out of the Halloween fun, even most little kids aren't that excited for Halloween to come. Halloween is not like it used to be, I remember when I was younger I would count down til Halloween and i also would get my costume a month ahead and wear it every day til Halloween came. I remember going out with my friends with my pillow case and try to get more candy then i did the year before. Some people had cool ideas on Halloween like big candy bars, sodas, money, pretzels. The worst thing about Halloween was the walking, i loved trick or treating but I hated all the walking. I also remember coming home and my mom making me show my mom every piece of candy so she could check it to make sure it wasn't open or looked touched by anyone who was handing it out. I remember since I was alot younger then my brothers and they wouldn't go out, I would give them all the pieces of candy i didn't like. I wish Halloween was the same as it used to be, my mom buys alot of candy every year and it always seems like you have more and more left in our bowls after the night is over. Not many parents want their kids trick or treating because you cant trust people like you used to be able to, I don't blame the parents on that either though. I used to love Halloween but now its just another holiday to me even though I still wanna go out this Halloween to get all that candy. Many people don't give out candy to kids who are older either because they don't think teenagers should go trick or treating.

torture
Torture and execution in England was a big thing, they always tortured people and even their wives. The husbands would put a gossip bridle or brank over their wives heads. People in England would also do things like the rack, the iron boot, etc. if they thought that someone was a witch, or if they did anything illegal. They used the pillory if someone stole, and they would let kids walk by you when you were in it and they kids would punch, spit, pull your hair, throw stuff at you, just to make you more mad since you couldn’t do anything about it. I don’t agree with any of these things, I am happy they don’t do it to this day. Many people got hurt or even killed from all those things. It wasn’t right what they did but back then you had no word in anything only guys did and they agreed with all of these objects.
I believe that capital and corporal punishment don’t work, because people would bring their families to these things and watch people they know get killed. You think if you watch someone get hanged for something they didn’t even do you wouldn’t do that either and you would be scared. To people that was their entertainment and they enjoyed it a lot. I know if I saw someone get kicked I would never do anything back enough to get killed or injured. I don’t get why people didn’t care about seeing someone die. I would be mad and upset if I saw someone get killed, I don’t like seeing people get injured now so I would never be about to watch what they did to people back than. I strongly disagree with this and don’t under stand why anyone would do this.

spying.
I don't think that Polonius should have written a love letter to Hamlet from his daughter and I also don't think Hamlets Mom and Uncle should have been spying with Polonius. They wouldn't want Halmet to be spying on them, for any reason. Its just something you don't do, its rude and not right I would hate if someone was spying on me. I also don't think that its right that the parent in the article was spying on her kids, if you have to spy on people it just means you cant trust people. The parent in the article is crazy, she's phone tapping her kids phone calls, and putting tape recorders in their room. Spying shouldn't be acceptable if you do it like that. I would so mad if my mom or anyone i know was spying on me, i wouldn't talk to them. I would try and stop talking to them, i think its stupid if you have to do that to people. I know i would never spy on anyone, cause it's disrespectful. Thats why i don't think spying is good, and shouldn't be allowed.

Hamlet and his father reconnect
King Halmet's ghost revels to Prince Halmet that Halmet's uncle who is the new King killed Prince Halmets Dad. King Halmet that died tells his son to go kill the new King, the new King is the old Kings brother. The old Kings wife married her husbands brother which made him the new King instead of Prince Halmet. Prince Halmet should have been the new King but instead wasn't, Prince Halmet is upset and also angry that he is not the new King. The Ghost asked prince Halmet to go kill the new King, since he can't. I believe that this will help Halmet's behavior and his state of mind, because him being able to see and talk to his Fathers ghost will make him happier that he has some connection to his Father. I also believe that Hamlet will stop wearing black clothes and be so upset all the time and mad at everyone and the world. Thats how i think it will change his behavior and his state of mind.

The Alchemist
The Alchemist was written by Paulo Coelho, this book is about a young boy name Santiago who has a couple of dreams about finding hidden treasure by the pyramids in Egypt.In the beginning of the story when we meet Santiago he was a shepherd, who had many sheep and had a dream to travel. Santiago was a busy shepherd, he had a big crush on a merchants daughter but instead of visiting her he meets a a lady who can see the future and tells him that he will find the treasure by the pyramids, but if he does he has to give her one tenths of his sheep. Than later on he meets a king who says the same thing about finding the treasure and gives Santiago two stones and says if you find the treasure i want one tenths of your gold. Santiago agrees to both of the deals and than starts to travel. When Santiago arrives in Spain he winds up getting robbed by two boys and takes all his money that he had, that's when Santiago travels up a hill and starts working for a crystal merchant. Santiago winds up working for the crystal merchant for over a year and gets a lot of money and becomes close with the merchant. He thought of many ideas for the shop, he than tries to get the merchant to travel with him to the pyramids and even the merchants personal dream but he doesn't agree to go. Santiago starts to travel to the pyramids and that's when he meets the Englishmen. Santiago than meets a girl name Fatima and falls in love with her. He than has to leave the girl and promises he'll be back. Santiago keeps traveling and meets the alchemist and winds up going through the camps that are at war, the army makes Santiago turn into the wind. Santiago was able to pull it off, the army took his money and let him and the alchemist go on. The alchemist than gives Santiago gold and than leaves so now Santiago is on his own and is almost to the pyramids. When Santiago gets closer to the pyramids he gets beat up again and they take his gold, Santiago tells them hes traveling because of a dream and they let him go. Santiago then gets to the pyramids and find the treasure he's been looking for. I didn't mind reading this book, i just wish it was more entertaining and didn't lag as much as it did. I think i wouldn't tell someone to read this unless they want to read a story that is boring. I would have never read this book unless i had to for school.

Twist of Fate
Rebecca Leung's "Twist of Fate" is an article about two girls that were born in Mexico, than weeks later one of the girls that's name Adriana Scott was adopted from a family from America. The family from New York flew down to Mexico to bring home their adopted daughter. When they got home they shortly found that Adriana had a twin sister that was in Mexico but that the birth mother ran away with her. A year later they found out that Adriana's twin sister was in America with a adopted family, they thought she was living by Canada. Adriana's parents never planned on telling her that she had a twin sister that was living in America, but one day everything turned for the best and Adriana found out that she had a twin sister. Some boy that Adriana knew said that he knew a girl that looked like her and he was talking to Tamara Rabi, and found out that they were sisters. He than told Adriana what Tamara's email was and they shortly started talking over email and sent each other pictures because Tamara and her roommate didn't believe Adriana. Adriana than confronted her parents about having a twin sister and they told her everything from they day she was adopted. Before this Adriana and Tamara didn't talk for twenty years and was magically connected, the crazy thing is that they lived 25 miles away from each other and never connected before that day. I believe that this was a coincidence, its crazy who you know in the world. As everyone says its a small world and a lot of people know each other, they are just lucky that know have reconnected after all theses years.
