NIGHTJOHN Blog November 3rd

Prompt: Summarize what has happened
Pages Read 0-41

         This story is about a slave named Sarny she is also associated with Nightjohn. Sarny as any other normal slave she is no educated and she is still considered a small child due to her lack of intelligence. Sarny is not to fond of her master she dislikes him because he is a cruel person and pushes his slaves to the edge of death. During her free time which is almost never given she lay's down is the corn field trying to remember his past life but she was never able to remember her mother because she was taken away from her when she was a baby.

          Then Sarny started talking about her first encounter with money. She found a penny in front of the masters house and she showed is to her mammy (Not birth mammy). And when she her mammy saw the penny she told Sarny to hide is where no one could find it except for herself. "Slaves like us don't get paid so when you find money save up so maybe one day you could buy your freedom." So Sarny did so and she still has the penny years later.  So every day she digs the penny back up after everyone is asleep and she rubes the penny until it shines once again.

         Since Sarny is not strong or old enough to work the fields she helps take care of all the babies in a small shack not that far away from the masters house. Since she does not have such a labor intensive job she gets a lot more free time to herself where she likes to think about past memories. And the main memory that she was thinking about was when she first met Nightjohn. It was a normal day for Sarny until she saw a man naked with a chain around his neck being taking into the corn field. Sarny did not learn that his name was Nightjohn until later that night.  Unlike Sarny Nightjohn is considered a smart he knows how to read and knows basic education. Nightjohn even made a trade with Sarny one pinch of tobacco for three letters he would teach her A,B,C.


P.S I meant to spell mammy like that because that is how she spelled it the book.

"Wow look at all of those colors" Alba thought to herself.  Alba then drifted of to sleep starring at the brilliant lights coming from carnival. At the end of the first day of carnival Emiliano got back home and immediately ran up to Albas room to make sure she was there but to his was surprise she was not there. When he got up to her room he herd a loud crash Emilianos ran down stairs and to his horror he saw his daughter trying to get into his wine cellular which has been locked up for years.

         As Emiliano looked at his daughter he could tell she did't know what she was doing. When Alba saw her father she let out a blood curtailing scream that would fill fear into even the hardest man. Then Alba collapsed onto the group and was unconscious for an hour until she finally woke up. "Are you okay dear" " Yes dad I am fine but I did want to tell you something what did happen to Fortunato 13 years ago?" "Nothing sweaty just" "stop lying to me!

But after a couple of hours of drinking and partying Fortunato lost control unexpectedly probably because of drinking. When we tried to calm him down he nocked me out cold and when I woke up your mother was gone. I was looking for your mother all night and when I finally found her she had been murder in Fortunato's Wine vault. I did't inform the police because I wanted to avenge your mother, I wanted to kill Fortunato the way he killed your mother." That is why I decided to kill him on the day he killed your mother and that is also why I decided to kill him in a wine vault but instead of killing him in his vault I killed him in the vault you are standing above right now. "Dad I don't feel to good right now I think I should go back to bed". Thats okay sweaty what ever you need". As Emiliano walked back to his room after putting Alba to sleep he quietly fell asleep until he heard a crash like glass breaking.

Passion Project

My project would be to make a sports camp for 5-9 year olds. We would teach kids how to play basketball and soccer. This would help the smaller kids get used to the games so that they could have even more fun when they start playing for the next season. Some places that we are thinking of asking to see if we could use there facilities  are Bounce, the Rec, and the Y. We would get this out there for the public to see by posters and also the internet.

Reflection on the first quarter

        This quarter I have learned about important events that have been happening around the world. I have learned more about Ferguson then I would at home. I learned both sides of the Ferguson story and also came up with my own opinion of what happened that day. I also learned more in detail about what is happening with Ebola. I learned that it started in Africa and has now come over to the US and is now starting to infect American citizens. I have also thought of my own opinions on what we should do with Ebola after researching about it and finding out how other countries are dealing with it.

         My research has also improved this quarter because of all of the topic that we have had to research. My research has gone up causing the product of my projects in any class to go up. I have learned different kinds research techniques  like staying away from websites like wikipedia, ask, and answers.com.  I also have learned to cite my sources which gives better credibility to the websites that I had in my project
