My three goals were:
- Get a higher grade than last quarter.
- Journal Writing (Everyday).
- Do all the assignments and do my best.
My first goal which was getting a higher grade than last quarter, I didn't achieve with this goal. I got a low grade than last quarter. I noticed that I need to improve with this goal. I think it will remain the same. My second goal which was writing a journal everyday, I almost achieved with this goal. It means that except for few days, I wrote it everyday. When I look at my journal, I feel proud of myself. My last goal was to do all the assignments and do my best on it. I think I achieved with this goal, because I did all the assignments and did my best on each one. I didn't miss any assignments even though I was absent. Even though I was absent, I did all the missing assignments through weekends.
Three goals for next quarter are:
- Get a higher grade than last quarter.
- Do all the assignments and do my best.
- Get a good grade on Population Project (UBD).
As you can see, getting a higher grade than last quarter and doing all the assignments and do my best goals remain the same. However, I changed my third goal journal writing to getting a good grade on Population Project. Population Project is a huge project, therefore, in my opinion, Population Project is more important than journal writing. To get a good grade on Population Project, I'm going to come to school every Saturday and work on Population Project. I'm going to give my full effort on it. Plus, I'm going to promise to myself that for 4rd quarter, I'm going to get a higher grade.

Feedback March 2-6
"Holy War." definition of holy is declared sacred by religious or authority and the definition of war is a conflict carried on by force arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare as by land, sea, or air. Basically, the word holy has a positive meaning and the word war has a negative meaning. If we combine these two words together, the definition might be a 'good word.' But all wars aren't good. After the war, everything gets destroyed and many people get injured or killed. Therefore, 'Holy War' is an oxymoron, which two words don't belong used together.
There are many wars based upon religions because there are many religions. For example, India has thousands of religions and people think that their religion is the best and every people should believe in that god. However, that won't work easily. Because of people's personality, the wars have to be happened. Some countries fight each other because of their religion. Having a war based upon religions don't make sense. As you can see, there are several reasons about many wars happening based upon religions.

Feedback - World War III
I do think World War III will happen in my lifetime. Since, America government is not good, some countries will start the war to get stronger. First of all, there might be a war between South Korean and North Korea. North Korea already moved their ships and South Korea got frighten. I'm not sure if North Korea will attack South Korea, but there is a percentage. Since North Korea is not in a good condition, they want to get stronger and live like other countries do. I'm not sure which country will win, but there will be a lot of negative effects in South Korea and North Korea.
Second of all, there might be a war between India and Pakistan. Today, India and Pakistan's relationship is not so good. Because of the terrorists, there might be a war. I heard that Pakistan wanted a war between India and Pakistan. India is keep refusing it; however, when India stops refusing it, a war will begin between Pakistan and India. If a war starts, then India will face a lot of negative effects. In India, there are many foreigners living. When the war starts, all the foreigners will go back to their own country or at least everyone will go out from India. Then, India cannot work with foreigners which means that they can't earn money that much. Overall, I hope World War III does not start; however, since the economic is bad, there might be a percentage of starting World War III.

WWII Letter
Jan. 26, 1941
Dear Family,
When you recieve this letter, I'll be already gone on a secret mission. We are leaving tomorrow morning on a secret mission. I hope I could able to bring my ship so I can help in saving the lives of my friends. As you know, the weather is good but we have barely any food here which means that the ration here is low. Don't worry and don't forget that I'm trying to make a success of myself and never give up easily.
You know what? I thought I knew something about airplanes before, but when I came here, I figured out that I didn't know anything about airplanes. My chief has taught me plenty on airplanes and ships. I have my own ship - it's really beautiful. My name is painted on the left side and the color is really nice.
There are things I have seen here that I will never forget as long as I live.I was wounded my right foot, but I'm ok right now. When the Nazi's bomb hit the ground about 20ft away from me, I was scared that I never sweated so much in my life. I was well protected because I was on the boat. I don't want to experience that kind of situation ever again; however, since it is a war, I have to face more similar situations.
Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine and healthy. I will write again soon. I really miss all of you and want to be back at home.
Anne Frank Reflection
3. In her diary Anne opined: “…if you’re wondering if it’s harder for the adults here than for the children, the answer is no…Older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered…” (July 15, 1944.) Do you agree or disagree with this quote? When was the last time that you experienced the “shattering” of an ideal?
As we discussed, I disagree with this quote. Of course, older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. Also it's twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered. However, adults have lived longer than us. They have lived outside for a long time, but the children ARE living in the Holocaust. They don't have a chance to live outside for a long time. Therefore, I disagree with that quote.

Critique of Animal Farm (The Movie)
We have read the book and watched the movie. I read the book first, which was really similar to the Russian Revolution. However, the movie was bad. It contains the important ideas, such us the seven commandments and the changes of the seven commandments. The movie cut many scenes from the book. For example, the war of Cowshed immediately happens right after the animals exiled Mr. Jones from the farm. However, in the book, when the animals exiled Mr. Jones from the farm, the war of Cowshed happens little bit later. Also, in the book, Napoleon doesn't die at the end, but in the movie, the animals kill Napoleon and that was the end of the movie. In my opinion, the end of the movie was quit bad. Furthermore, in the movie there were some scenes which were not in the book. For example, when Boxer got hurt, Boxer was being taken to the knackers. The movie characters were kind of cute except Napoleon. By looking at the body structure, I could find which characters are bad and which characters are nice. Overall, I think the book version is better than the movie version.
