Ordinary Genius 

(The Story of Albert Einstein)

Written by: Stephanie Sammartino McPherson

The book that I am currently reading about is the life of Albert Einstein. In the book you get to learn about all their  different events that Albert went through during is lifetime. In the book it talks about when Albert was just a little boy who was curious about the world around him. He wasn't like other children, and  because of that it made him different than the other kids. We all know that Albert Einstein is known for being this genius that he was the one known for his theory of relativity but in this book it explains about Alberts whole life in one story so I give you The story of Albert Einstein.

When Albert was just a little baby his mother Pauline Einstein saw something strange about Albert if it was like Albert's head was not shape correctly it was like his skull didn't shape out in the correct form, but through times when he got older the shape of his head started forming into a normal skull. During in Albert's school years you would think since he was so smart he didn't have a hard job participating in school. Well you think wrong Albert Einstein had lots of trouble at school he wasn't really good with Language Arts or Social studies things that Albert was only good at was Math and Science those were his two favorite subjects but his other subjects he did not like at all. If Albert didn't like something he didn't want to learn about it he would usually ignore the teacher and daydream. Since Albert didn't have much of a choice to participate since back then the teachers used to hit the children with rulers if you didn't do something right or if you do something you weren't supposed to do the teacher will give a bad punishment. Albert used to get bullied a lot by students because he thinked different from the other children he was curious even the teachers new he wasn't like other children that's what made him special. In is school years he didn't have a lot of friends the only person he would hang out with was his sister Maja she was born two years later. Albert did have his ups and downs but he would still keep moving forward. He had trouble finding jobs he had trouble finding money things weren't so easy for Albert but soon or later Albert has gotten old and he has discovered new things ahead of him he said to a student a quote from him from the book says "Never lose your curiosity, he urged the student" that was very touching when those were Albert last moments he died April 18, 1955 he will always be rembered.

One thing that I learned about the book of The Story of Albert Einstein was that he was a very shy person when he was young he didn't really interact with other people that much. Albert Einstein had a  passion for learning about math and science he traveled a lot around with his family Albert always went to different schools and then at his school that he was at, he made a friend that had the same passion like him. His friend would always bring notebooks with him and show Albert about so many different things about math that they never new about and every time Albert discovered more he wanted to learn more and more. Then eventually Albert got older and he couldn't do so many things how he used to but his legacy stills keeps moving on by the imagination of children who still have yet to know a lot about the world.

Gallery walk Reflection

From the gallery walk from class on Thursday there were so many different kinds of different articles that are happening in today's news. Some people talked about Trump and how he won the election for being the president of the United States of America for 2017. Other people talked about that people are trying to be a artist and they want to follow their dreams and keep moving forward. Many people chose different types of articles to write about and they were all interesting to read about new things about new stuff that are happening around the world. There are still so many things out there in the world that we still have to discover and for now the adventure awaits ahead.

From the articles I learned about that there are still new things to learn about in the world and I hope to see more. In those articles they had well developed sentences and they all explained about what they were talking about for their main reason why they chose to talk about that situation. Also from the gallery walk there were so many topics that people were talking about and all were very interesting to read.

Election Reflection

My thoughts of the election from Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Is that Donald Trump should not have won because he has no experience on what so ever for being president. Those important things have to deal with the Untied States like Climate change, Education, Bussiness, also Jobs all those  important things have to be taken very seriously because I feel like Donald Trump won't really take that serious for being the president. There has been videos about both of the candidates making a lot of mistakes on how to make America a better place for the people who live in the Untied States. Even though I do not like Donald Trump does not mean I like Hillary Clinton ethier because they are both not perfect because I think the better candidate would be Hillary Clinton because she has more knowledge on what she is going to do for the future and she can carry the legacy of President Barack Obama so people could still have hope for the future.

My thoughts of the elections results were so unfair because Hillary Clinton should had got the more votes for every state and country because she sometimes knows what she is talking about in the election vs Donald Trump. During the results Hillary Clinton had 228 and Donald Trump had 277 they were both in the middle of getting the same result. If Hillary Clinton was able to win Arizona North Carolina and Ohio she would had won already but in order for Donald Trump to stay in the race he also had to win all three states but sadly Donald Trump won all three leaving Hillary Clinton a little bit more stressful on what her next move is to win the election.

In the next election it would be very interesting because I will be able to vote for the next election and also other fellow students will also be able to vote when they hit the age 18 that they would likely be able to vote. I am very energetic and also exited because I get to choose who is going to be the next president for the United States. We still have a long way to go before the next election comes again hopefully there won't be so much kayos for the next election year in 2020. Hopefully it will be different and it will be with more positive and better influence for other people to vote for any elections that come up for any years for the new president election.

On the day of November 11th is the day we celebrate the people who sacrificed there life for us 

In the honor of men and woman who went out to war to protect our lives

Nor the promises broken 

But I know your spirit exists, the lives you have touched 

And the lives you have saved you have my respect 

I honor those veterans who lived and died 

For serving our country and protecting our freedoms

The Story Behind Killer Clowns

On October 22nd 2016 around Berwyn and other places that there has been sightings of killer clowns. These killer clowns have been trying to lure out kids and teenagers into the woods. Even though there has been no sign of clowns that had done any damage yet to anybody. They still want to figure out why the clowns appeared in the first place and why they are scaring adults and children. These clowns wear these scary vicious masks to scare adults and children. There are a lot of clowns in Berwyn and in Chicago. Usually the clowns are hiding in the dark somewhere around the woods. These clowns hide in the corn field or go on omegle scarying people all over the world. A lot of people go clown hunting to find these clowns.

These evil clowns are roaming our neighborhoods. And they're spreading across the country. From one of the articles I have found a quote when the clowns first appeared it says, "On August 21st, a police deputy investigated reports of a clown with a white face paint trying to lure children into the dark thicket. A resident told him one of her sons had seen many clowns flashing green lights and her other son had heard pounding on the door and the sound of chains clanking. Other children told him that clowns had tried to tempt them with money and that the clowns live in the house by a pond deep in the woods".

The clowns come out in the day and night usually you'll find them in places that no one can see you like the woods and parks. They also stalk you around your house and try to scare you and these killer clowns send you letters with fake blood all over the letter. Is this important yes it is important because these clowns just appeared out of no where and they are trying to take over your life and kill you for some reason that people still can't explain. Some newscast say that they have found sightings of killer clowns usually occurring in the months leading up to Halloween.
