agree with johnnys quote

 .An example of this would be a en year old boy who plays sport games such as NBA2k10 and Madden NFL.That ten year old boy is not likely to do something bad because that's not what the video game is doing. He is more likely to go to the park and shoot hoops or play catch with a football. No if you take that same ten year old boy and let him play a game like "grand theft auto" he is more likely to want to kill , hurt and steal things from people. that's what he saw in the game and it was OK then so why would it not be OK for him to do in the real world.

i agree with the thingx that john talk about. If the kis is playin violent video games,, he will be more likely to do simethign dangerous, But a kid playing sports, most likel would like to either play that sport and be intersetd in it, So i do think that video games have a huge effect on kids lives in many ways. Jhn explains how kids are more likely to do what they enjoy to do. Such as playing madden and 2k will make thme most likely  want to play basketball or throw a foot ball around. In some ways it wants kids to go out nd get better, so one day they can be controlled my a controller also. If they play COD or GTA im not saying they are going to go on a shooting spre, but they will more likey not go play sports , and be the ones to steal, or later in life MAYB be the ones infulenced by what they played

book post#2

Reading the second part of Enders Game was one of the most interesting parts.It is th emainpart to where he is officially in the school, and he is engaging in the action.  He is one of the best commanders at his age, and leads his rank, and soon gets moved up to the next rank.  This boostup his confidence, but it soon gets put down, because the older kids"get" to hym,because he is thee youngest, and tries to come in being a boss. He is trying to be in the middle, because iin a way , he doesnot want to lead, but he dosent want to fall tothe bottom. He wants to stay in the middle to be able not be noticed as much, and also picked on. Another interseting thing that happned in the middle section, is that while playing the "stimulated" game, where it gives you real life situations, Ender saw his brother, saw his brother. He was first scared, because how did the computer know who his family was, and that was his brother,. Was the game trying to tell him something. in a hidden message? Ender got very freaked about what happned, and wondered, since he had played the game so much, has the game"studied" him, and now knew his wekaness, and streghtns of his every day life.

I think this book has a lot of meanings, and messages within the text. Things like morals and main ideas lay in the book. Like a huge part of the book is jealousy. The jealousy that enders older brother has for him, because he did not make the combat school and ender did, the jealousy the older kids have because ender is so good at what he does, and also is smart enought to beat them, and i think lastly the jealousy of how peter dosent have the relation ship that Ender and valentine have. I think that has a huge effect on the mood of the book, because it is able to give an edge on both sides of the story, and gives it another look, that wasnt interpreted in the beggining,

While reading through google docs, i stumbled on john hamiltons post about our recent feild trip to the farmers market. To be truthful, when i got there, i thought it was going to be a lot bigger, but once walking around and seeing the items, it got interesting. as john said in his post,

" when we had got to the farmers market every thing changed. once i saw all the stands filled with veggies and fruit i was truly amazed. i had only been to the farmers market once before and that was in middle school. this time it was a little different because i had to ask the farmers questions. now i did not really want to do so but i did and i heard about some fruits that never came up in my mind. i saw veggies that i never see at the super market. its a lot better tasting food at the farmers market and i would like to go back. i am just glad we got to go on a Field trip there. it was really cool."

I agree with jonhs post. When we first arived i thought it was only like one street long, and it didnt look as if they had a lot of stands, but little did i know that there was a corner to turn, with a lot more stands, and other different types of vegtables. I have never been to this particular farmers market, but i have been to plenty before. My grandma used to go every saturday, in hercules and i used to tag along, and help pick out the best fruit. I would get to piuck one of my own, and she would pick one, and we would share with eachohter often. So this feild trip did bring some memories from child hood. I think it was fun to walk around with my freinds and peers, to examine the farmers and ask questions. I had some answers that i expected, and some i really didnt . Some people traveled hours just to get to the farmers market to sell their crops. Some said tht some weeks that can ,make lots of money, while others, they can make close to none. They said it matters exactley what is in "season" and if it is not, they will not get a good sell on what they are trying to get a profit on. I think it went well how we did an essay on our diets, and we went to a farmers market to closly observe it. I think it was good timing, and i like how she planned it. I really thought about changing my diet, but on the same day, i still ate burgerking, so i wasnt that happy with my "future" diet. Hopefully, llater in my life i can change my unl=healthy lifestyle, but for now, im jst living life
