Homework #62:Reading Response

This book is so good, it's great! Hermes is so bad but he plays the harp so well. I never heard or saw him play but the book makes him sound like a professional harp player. The character I like the most is Apollo. Apollo is the god of prophecy. Prophecy means the foretelling or prediction of what is to come, but that's not what this is about.

The character I dislike the most is the old man. He's ot really a character in the story but I just don't like him. I don't like him because he told on Hermes when he specificlly asked him not to. He told Apollo that he saw a young child with about 50 cattle, forcing them to walk from side to side and backwards with their heads towards him. The old man is a trader because he agreed to what Hermes said, but then he betrade him by telling Apollo.

(This Apollo is a greek god not a theatre on 125st)

Homework #60: Reading Response

I started a new book called "Greek Myths" by Olivia Coolidge. It has a whole bunch of stories about Greek gods and myths they wanted to retell the stories of how those Greek gods lived in their world. In each chapter there are new stories to tell.
I like a character named Hermes, the god of thieves and messengers. I like him because he gets into silly trouble. An example is when he got out of his cradle and went out of the cave. He found a tortoise to play with. He made a harp out of the shell and 7 strings of sheep guts. He played it beautifully. When he got tired of playing the harp, he put it in his cradle and went to get into some real trouble. He found the cattle of the sun. He separated 50 of them and took them away. He went down where it was hard to follow his footprints.

Homework #57:High School Essay

High School
In this essay I will be talking about high school and what I'd like to know about high school. I also will be talking about how different middle school is from high school, and how middle school will prepare you for high school.
I think high school is different from middle school. I think this because it's older kids in high school and younger kids in middle school. I also think it's different because I think middle school kids are more mature than high school kids because as we get older we will get more immature than what we already are. I also think if middle school kids pay attention they might be a little more advanced than the high school kids that skip class.
I think middle school will prepare you for high school. This is because when we get in 8th grade, we get to take advanced classes and high school classes. Also when you get to 8th grade you get to take your PSAT to get ready for the SAT's your going to take next year.
I would like to know a few things about high school: How do they grade you in high school? Do they grade like they do in middle school? Is there a difference in the gradings in middle and high school, if there are what are they? Why?
