9/29/11 culture of grovers corner

The culture of Grover's Corners consists of most people staying in the town their whole life, going to school, when getting married you don't see the bride or groom. The culture also is very quiet and normal living.

9/27/11 Fireworks

I feel that cities do have the right to ban fireworks even though the state says they are legal because I like the idea of little cities almost as if they are their own little state following the rules of the big picture, but still having their own.

9/23/11 aspect of culture

One aspect of my culture that directly influences my personal belief and behavior is that fact that in my culture sports take up most of my time. Due to this I am more physically fit, and I eat more then when I don't play sports. It also makes me more determined and confident in life.

9/21/11

If I were to make a time capsule to put in the cornerstone of the new school I would include a recent magazine, such as sports illustrated or the newspaper. I would also include some technology or toys of our time like cellphones.

9/19/11 -boy doesn't meet girl

I believe single gender implements is something that we could implement into the high school because as said in the article it could help certain kids learn and focus more in class. Also it could help build kids socially as well as intellectually so this idea should be considered. But I don't know how well it would work at this late of an age because the studies were conducted on younger grades such as elementary schools.

9/15/11 civic center renovation

I believe that renovating the civic center is a good idea because it could possibly help bring in more people and profit because at the moment not much is done with the civic center except for hockey games. And it would be nice for more events to be held there.

9/13/11 - American culture

I found only one thing surprising in American culture and etiquette.  I thought it surprising that it was recommended to leave a little bit of food on your plate because I thought it was the exact oppisite. This was the only thing I found surprising in American culture.

my culture

the culture of Kevan Merrow consists of eating lots of pizza, drinking milk and sleeping.  Family traditions include Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.  Although my culture is based off catholic religion I do not practice the religion. And lastly playing videogames is essential to my culture.

Summer reading book

The book I read this summer was titled Kite Runner, the book was about the life of Amir a boy always struggling to get his father's approval  and who lives in the Middle East. Throughout the book Amir struggles through war, friendships, and life itself. I found the book to be very entertaining and a interesting read. I don't recommend this book to too many people because it it quite long and complicated in different ways other then big vocabulary.
