Rumors About HMS's Principal

The principal needs some principles! Early 2014 at Heritage Middle School our students have experienced something quite unusual. The loss of their principal, Mrs. LaSalle. Rumors about Mrs. LaSalle had gone on all over HMS and District 100 leaving schools to wonder what would happen to the school, staff and students, but mainly what had happened to Mrs. LaSalle. She was unexpectedly fired and students, faculty, everyone is to wonder why she had disappeared.

After this leaving, people began rumors on her leaving. One of the most talked about rumors is her stealing money from the school to use for her own needs. The backup towards this that people mentioned  that the school was having multiple fundraisers and not having enough money to keep other things going, such as sports, clubs, and programs that included teachers and students and a lot of teachers had also left that year. This could be from not having a salary they would want since money could have been taken that year cutting their pays down.

People hear about these rumors and have to think about what Mrs. LaSalle had done for the school earlier in the year which would lead to this. How the principal of HMS who was seen as someone you look up to could change your thoughts just like that. Stealing money from a school could be a bad image for the school and staff. These rumors have indeed put a bad image on Mrs. LaSalle then again, you can hear rumors, but you can't know them.

Comparing the Outsiders Movie and Book

How do your visualization match up to the movie images?

Well, I felt that the movie was a lot like the book, it included almost all of the major parts of the book in the movie including the rumble. Unlike other books to movies this one had a good director making sure that the movie had the aspects of the book even including some of the narrations of Ponyboy in the book. Just like I imagined all the major parts and characters are like how I would want to be like.

Think about how the movie is similar/different?

I think the movie is very similar to the book because like I said it has almost all the major parts and characters right. But the few things that is kind of strange for me is seeing Johnny, who is supposed to be older than Ponyboy, looks like he is a ten year old. It was really weird for me to see that and also see Dally have brown hair considering in the book he is a blonde. But the good thing about the book to the movie is that, yes it's practically four chapters in the movie in the beginning, but it pretty much shows how the characters are and their descriptions without even having Ponyboy talk about them.

In the end though I can say I like the book rather than the movie because one, everyone says that and two, there is always something about the book that no matter what you just can't find in a movie.

The Ruins of Gorlan Comparision

Hey guys, The Whole Blogging Show here and I want to talk about the book I am reading called the Ruins of Gorlan and I feel that this book reminds me a lot of Harry Potter, here's the reason why.

In the beginning of the book for Harry Potter you'll see Harry be put in one of the houses having the four, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor each class has its different meaning, while the Ruin of Gorlan you have a Cooking class, Scribemasters, CraftMasters, Horse School, and Battle school. These different classes are for the kids choices in this case and the main character, Will wants to be put in Battle school but instead goes to Rangers school which is a special class almost everyone was nervous about. Will is rejected by Horse and Battle school leading to the Ranger's Apprentice because he is too small, it says, "'I'm afraid he's too small, my lord,' he said. Will felt a cold hand clutch his heart" (28). Like Harry Potter, people doubted him for his looks just like Will. There's also the fact that his friends are kind of like Harry's friend Hermonie and cousin Dudley. Horace who is like Dudley is described in the book is, "Horace was big for his age and a natural athlete." Now Dudley who is more chubby rather athletic was big for his age just like Horace. And the girl who is like Hermonie who is very smart is Alyss who is described as, "He knew that the tall, graceful girl had already been promised a place as an apprentice by a laugh Pauline head of a castle Redmont's Diplomatic Service."  Hermonie who was stuck-up to her teachers to be let in certain classes is a lot like Alyss.

That's why I think the Ruins of Gorlan is a lot like Harry Potter.
