Summer Learning Journey Day Two Task Two

For this activity, please think about this issue of the gender pay gap carefully. It is quite controversial (some people agree with it and some people disagree with it).

On your blog, tell us what you think. Is it fair? Why or why not? Be sure to explain exactly why you feel the way that you do. Here is Our Task For today Here is My Opinion.

As My Opinion I disagree that is not fair for Men to get Paid more that Women the " Gender Pay Gap" because Women and Men most of time do the same qualities of work and push to high Standards , 

It's not fair for the Women as they do have Bills ,
 Taxes and Rent to Pay and if most have to fund for school or supplies for themselves and their kids as well , 

I think that they should at least make it fair for the women to get paid the same percent that Men Get Paid. In sports Men and women can play at the same abilities and can sometimes play better (;  , I hope that Women can get paid the some amount of money in Sports or any job cause I do Believe it should be equal.

Holes Activity ( Nicknames)

A couple weeks ago we did our second activity for our Reading Book/Holes the Name of Our Activity was Nicknames Here is on how I did my activity.

Nicknames Chapter 4-5 

Monday 2nd September 2019 

As he watched the boy turn and walk away, he couldn’t for the life of him figure out why anyone would want to be called Armpit.”  (P.20)

Why do you think that all the boys insist on being called by their nicknames?

I think the boys liked to be called their nicknames instead of their real names because it is the names that represent on who their are  and what their personalities are like, and because they rather like their nicknames that birth is given names.

What do your think that Stanley’s nickname will be? Why?

If Stanley were to have a nickname it would be clueless because he is stuck in a dessert like area where he dosen’t know what to do or what to say which is why I would call him clueless.

If your were an inmate a Camp Green Lake, do you think that you’d like to be called by a different name? What nickname do you think would suit you?

I wouldn’t want to be called by a different name because I can get confused by the nickname I was given, If I were to have a  nickname it would be Vsco because I would bring scrunchies and polaroid to the camp.

On Tuesday in our class we had a task to come up with a positive message for help we used rhyme zone here is my Positive I came up with.
