My Cats <3



During school today my friend mentioned that on the radio she heard the host saying that having more than two cats is just ridiculous and pointless.

   Well, having eight cats I 100% disagree with him. In my opinion having more than one annoying radio host thinking they are super cool and famous is ridiculous and pointless. I turn on the radio to listen to music, not to hear about how some guy doesn't approve of cats...If I wanted to listen to people talk forever, I'd switch over to talk radio. Men like him are the reason I have a million cats. He has his stupid fake radio voice to express his lousy opinions every single morning..while cats just chill and are generally quiet when I wake up. Lets be honest, how many episodes of Hoarders talk about people having 72 radio hosts? None at all.  I've seen plenty of episodes with cats. I understand not everyone likes cats, but not everyone likes radio hosts either. I am fully prepared to live far away from radio hosts.. with more a lot more than two cats. I just wanted to express my radio host opinion.. and my love of cats with my cool collage I made.

The Whale Rider: Response

         The past week we have been watching Whale Rider. Overall I liked the movie a lot. It wasn't boring at all and it was good practice with using the How to read like a Professor notes. While watching this movie, our class discussed a lot about different symbols and motifs that we noticed throughout it. One that came up the most was Whales.

             Whales were used to symbolize ancestors, a bond within the tribe, family and life. Their were many examples of this within the movie. At one point the Whales got stuck on the beach for following their leader which they always have done. This symbolized that by following what you always do can lead to a mistake and changing things up with Paikea leading could be possible.

The Horse-Dealers Daughter

                    While reading The Horse Dealers Daughter I decided to focus on the part in the story where Mabel tries to kill herself in the water. After discussing the story with a few different groups we came up with a few things that this part symbolizes. First a lot of people agreed that this part symbolizes a way of rebirth. Almost like she was cleansing herself of her past, and when the Doctor saves her it's like she is leaving her past in the water behind. The other thing we realized is that the story relates to Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella. The way it does to Romeo and Juliet is that the Doctor puts his life in danger to save her. He's giving his life to save hers. In the way of Cinderella, the mother dies and she is left with the responsibility to clean the house and take care of the family. These are just a few things that I and the class came up with after reading this story.
