Kid Nation

power- In kid nation there are 40 kids trying to turn an old pioneer town that had been trashed into a better place in 40 days. There are no adults to help with anything. There are 4 children that are in charge to keep the other children doing their jobs. They have control over the children working in the town. They are the group of children that hold a meeting every week. They give a gold star worth 20,000 dollars to the kid who works the hardest at every meeting.

symbol- The gold star is a symbol that indicates who works the hardest at the end of each week. Everyone has a chance to win the gold star, they just have to prove that they are the hardest worker. The gold star is worth twenty thousand dollars and it shows who is capable of the most work. Some kids may be older than the others, but that doesn't mean that they are going to get the gold star. Anyone can get it whether you are the youngest or the oldest. The gold star proves who is really the strongest kid there.

manifest function- Giving the gold star to someone every week is a manifest function because they are trying to do something nice to the hardest worker. They are giving the hardest worker 20,000 dollars for coming to the city to help fix it into a nicer place. Not everyone will get a gold star, but the people who stand out to the council that are doing the best job will. Only one person will get a gold star every week.

Titanic

I like the movie Titanic because it is a powerful movie and is very touching. In the movie Rose meets Jack and they fall in love. The ship gets hit by an ice Berge and the ship starts to fill up with water. Everybody is freaking out because they now they will die if they don't get off the ship. Only some people got to get on the life boats and some did not. Everybody had to wear life jackets. The ship started sinking and the water is so cold that it hurts. A lot of people died on the ship when it sank. The ship broke in two. Jack and Rose jumped of the ship and swam to a door in the water.

Something that really annoys me is when people to annoying thing. Some things people can do that is really annoying is when they don't stop talking about the same thing over and over again.

The other thing is when my grandpa calls me all the nick names and it gets annoying when he doesn't stop. Another one is people don't stop bugging you when you want them to that gets annoying also. The other thing that really annoys me is when people don't stop singing.
Its really annoying when you tell somebody to stop doing something but they don't.
The other thing is when my other grandma calls me babe all the time and it gets annoying.

special

Everyone doesn't have the right to be special because if everyone was special then nobody would be special. I think he's not right because nobody is special. I think that weird people aren't special and smart people aren't special. Just because your weird or smart doesn't mean your special. Smart people may get all the attention but their like everybody else. Weird people may not get as much attention but their still the same as everybody else. I'm not smart or weird I'm just a human being so that doesn't make me special at all. Nobody is special unless you want to be special.
