Lord Of the Rings project write-up.

I made a photoshopped picture of the Fellowship, in the book Lord Of the Rings; Fellowship of the Ring.
I decided to make this because I felt the fellowship to be obviously, an extremely detrimental part of not only this one book. But the entire series. Each member of the Fellowship is brave, selfless, and sacrificial for the benefit of Middle-Earth. They all display heroic characteristics, and help each other out along the way. Together they basically make the back bone of the Frodos journey to Mt.Doom. I felt like they deserved some dedication, and being as it may that the book is called The FELLOWSHIP of the Ring. It obviously shows they were of extreme importance. I hope you liked the project I made. I'm pretty new to photoshop so I tried my hardest, I think it came out ok. So yea that's my project and I hope you liked it.

My Lord of the Rings Project. I made a Photoshop'd image of the Fellowship.

1st Post about the book im reading.

             Ok so for english class (World Lit) we have to basically find a book over 200 pages, and at or above your reading level and finish it before January 9th 2012. So we were all taken to the OHS library too pick one. I selected Borderline by Allan Stratton. In the 1st 30-50 pages or so in the book, youre lead into the life of a 15 year old Iranian boy named Sami. He takes you too school, he introduces you too his parents and friends, and even shows you why the life of somebody from the middle east, is probably a lot harder than you think. Even if theyre living in the United States. Now a cool part for me is that the story is set in upstate New York. Me also being from Upstate New York instantly drew me to the characters life.
             Im going to kind of do a day-in-the-life thing right now with the main character Sami.
1.) Do all that morning stuff + Pray.
2.) Go to school and get laughed at and taunted as soon as you get there
3.) Try to avoid a football player named "Eddy"
4.) Go to a secure location @ noon and Pray again.
5.) Still avoid the bully when going to class
6.) Go home and somehow get in trouble by Dad.
7.) Eat dinner, akwardly with Mom and Dad bickering at each other
8.) Pray
9.) Talk to andy and marty on the internet (best friends)
10.) Pray then Sleep
As you see this is clearly not your schedule (most likely) I like this about the main character because hes living in almost the same area as myself, yet hes so incredibely different. It hits home, but doesnt. But ya thats what I got for my 1st Book synopses.
