“Teens drink a lot of sports drinks, which aren't much better than soda”

# data[].attributes.body
I have been in a human body systems class this past summer. One thing I learned was about the importance of sports drinks and water after exercise. The point of a sports drink is to increase your blood sugar content and reschedule electrolytes in your body. This allows you to play at greater speed‘s and intensity. So when an athlete is not working out, they do not need this much sugar. Which can be relatively the same amount is found in a can of Coke. I found this article very interesting to me as I was interested buy the stuff in the past.

“The popularity of "Black Panther" has helped to define Afrofuturism”

# data[].attributes.body
Before reading this I didn’t know what Afro futurism was. I have come to learn that it is a common belief among people especially from African dissent, about a utopia built around the successes of black people. I want to see black panther want to came to theaters and I really liked it. I am a fan of the Marvel universe and always have been and this article drew my attention. It is empowering that these people now have a movie they can look up to.

“What it's like to grow up with an ankle bracelet”

# data[].attributes.body
Growing up I never broke bagels. Breaking the rules just seemed pointless to me as I was going to get caught, get in trouble, and ultimately the cycle would repeat. The story is weird to me because I can never think of doing the things that he did. Even though they were little issues to break his probation and cause him to wear the ankle bracelet longer I could still never imagine doing it. He were an ankle bracelet from the age of 13 years old to 18. He spent five years of his life on probation or in jail. That’s so crazy to me.

“Everyday Mysteries: Why songs get stuck in our heads”

# data[].attributes.body
As a dancer I find myself listening to at least an hours worth of music every day. After leaving class I hell must always have a song stuck in my head. I was wondered why this happened, maybe some kind of scientific reason. It turns out the signs us are just as confused as I am. There are many different theories as to what is happening. One of them being the motor cortex of your brain is still involved in the movement of the music, causing it to remain in your head. Another reason could be because you know they’re not so well after listening to a song that your brain remembers one notes and follows the pattern on repeat.

“Gunman opens fire in Texas high school, killing 10”

# data[].attributes.body
On May 18, 2018, in Santa Fe Texas, another school shooting took place. 10 students and teachers were killed in this incident. It is crazy to think that this is not an isolated incident in America. It makes me sad to think that these students Will know longer be able to further their educational career. I don’t know what I would do if I was in the situation, because it is too horrible to think about. It scares me to know that there is a large possibility for this to happen again.

“Selena Gomez Weeps At Award Show, Thanking Her Best Friend For 'Saving Her Life' ”

# data[].attributes.body
Selena Gomez is one of my favorite singers. So naturally I was drawn to the title of this short story. It was about how her friend donated a kidney in order to save her life. Selena suffers from something called lupus, and has all of her life. It is so beautiful and kind of her friend to give up such a big part of her life to someone else.

I am often tired which I why I read this. It was a lot of science but it gave me a better idea how sleep works. You need to sleep in order for your body to recharge for another day.

I chose to read this because I found this to be interesting when it happened. I watched the Golden Globes and wondered why everyone was wearing black. I researched a little and found out what was main idea but it was interesting to read more about it and the #Metoo movement.

“Yanny or laurel? Strange audio clip explained”

# data[].attributes.body
Personally this sounded interesting because me friends and I were arguing about this during lunch the other day. I personally hear laurel so I wanted to know the science behind it. The main thing is that the sound waves are different because of the way our throat moves to form words. When saying the word laurel your throat moves producing a high frequency, thus causing the word yanny. This aided by the fact that the original clip is semi distorted which causes for interpretation. This is why people hear different words.

“"This Is America" is a powerful music video by Childish Gambino”

# data[].attributes.body
I read this article because I am a fan of his music so the title stood out. I did not realize that the video had so much to do with politics. This really opened my eye to the opinions of other people in America. There was a lot of hidden meaning in this that I missed and I will defiantly watch it again. There are a lot of problems in America right now so it is interesting to see opinions being reflected in different ways.

I found this story to be a little strange. I also laughed a little. I found this to be difficult to read at times as the language was not what I was used to but I understood it. The story it’s self was very funny.

I like how you can tell she never got a formal education. She spelled orchestra like orkestra. It makes me laugh but it is also interesting.

Shug is an interesting character as she loves both Celie and Albert. They references to gay culture in this book are interesting because they didn’t have a name for what it was.

We are talking about how different women were treated. They were beat in order to do what the men wanted and that is cruel.

I am starting my third book for English 11, the Color Purple. I was drawn to this by the title and by the cover. After reading the back cover I️ decided it sounded like a good book.

# data[].attributes.body
My mom and I have begun reading and we are enjoying it. My mom told me she feels bad liking a book with such a terrible story line. But, it gives you a realistic feeling of what it was like in that time for women.

I have started my book project for the Wizard of Oz. I am doing a critical analysis essay about the main characters and how their journey was basically pointless. They were searching for something and they all had that thing the whole time.

# data[].attributes.body
I have finished this book and honestly I can say this was one of my favorite books of all time. I enjoyed the story and found it exiting to read. I will suggest this book in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed that this book had pictures. It gave the story something extra.

# data[].attributes.body
I am very excited to read this book. I have heard what the story is about from the movie, but I know the book is very different from the movie. I am excited to see how the author told this story for the first time.

These are poppies. Opium can be extracted from it to produce a sleep-like state but being around them doesn't make you fall asleep in real life

Another interesting thing is how the scarecrow, the tin man, and the line always talk about what they’re missing. Like for example, Dorothy says, “Aren’t they beautiful?” Then the tin man replies with, “ I suppose so when I have brains I shall  probably like them better.”

# data[].attributes.body
I am a few chapters in and so far I really like. One main thing I noticed is how they describe Kansas versus how they describe the land of Oz. The land of Oz is more colorful and vibrant where they describe Kansas as being more dark and gloomy.

I am starting to read Tweak by Nic Sheff. I chose this book because I thought it would be an interesting subject to read about and the flashy color caught my eye. This is not regularly what I would read but I think it will be exciting.

I think this point in the book is where he really realizes that what did was wrong and that he needs to fix it.

I just finished reading this and not only can I say it as very interesting me, I can also say I learned a lot from it. I learned that rehabilitation is not as easy as it sounds and relapsing can be so easy. It would have taken such a strong person to make himself better at the end. So I can say that though this book made me very uncomfortable sometimes it was still worth the read.

# data[].attributes.body
I have read the first few chapters, and I think this book is really icky. Learning all of the details about his life makes me uncomfortable and feel like I’m doing something wrong.

I am to the point in my book where he finally accepted help and is working hard for sobriety. I feel like I can finally read this book in peace.

I have made it to day 5 in my book and it really makes me think. I think about the people that I know that abuse and it scares me to think their life could end up like this guys.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been reading everyday to finish this book. I find it hard to read for long periods of time because the content of the book makes me upset. I think it’s very interesting but the content is very heavy.

I read an interesting article about spirit photographs. In the old days, when you had to wait awhile for pictures, they would have a person step in at the end of the exposer to make it look like a ghost.

I didn’t know there were so many laws following these two things. I’ve known for a long time to give credit and not plagiarize but when you learn about these rules it makes you rethink how you’ve been doing things.

I have completed my NoRedInk for the week and found both topics fairly simple. I like to do these exercises because they help me learn successfully.

I have been trying hard to finish it and I hope to finish it by Christmas break.
