My poem “Living in Poverty” is inspired by the novel “Divergent” by Veronica Roth and explores the theme of poverty from my independent novel: “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian” by Sherman Alexie. It was found on page 8 of the novel Divergent.

1. Yes, I enjoyed this lab. It was nice to cook something that I didn’t know how to and to taste something new, however, I did find the lab to be a bit completed because of the rice cakes; we had to make sure that the rice cakes weren’t too soggy, but at the same time not too hard.
2. I would add chicken because of its unique taste, chicken is one of my favorite meats. I would also add it for the amount of protein, niacin and selenium. It is also a good source of selenium, vitamin B6, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. Another thing that I would add is tomatoes, I love the taste and texture of tomatoes. They are a great source of vitamin C, biotin, vitamin K, copper, potassium, manganese, dietary fibre, vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, niacin, vitamin E and phosphorus.
3. Deep frying our foods adds saturated and trans fats. It also adds ALOT of calories. Fried foods clog arteries and lead to strokes and Alzheimer’s. Clogged veins and arteries cause heart attacks and aneurysms. If you eat deep fried food, you are at a higher risk for higher cholesterol levels, obesity, heart attacks, and diabetes. Overall, we should stay away from fried foods for a better and healthier diet.

Act Scenario Video:
Miss. Ralston was not a person who had great power, but was an ordinary person who believed in equality and wanted to change their society for the better. It wasn’t a big thing that she did, but it’s a start. She is a prime example of an ordinary person who did a good deed that changed their community. By hitting the home run and teaching through action and not through words she kept the darkness at bay. And by letting the girls go get the water, she went against what was normal to prove that girls can do the same that boys can. It was a small act of kindness and love of an ordinary person that brought a tiny amount of equality to their community.
A small act of kindness is something that doesn’t make a big impact in the world but can make a big difference in someones world. To someone, it might make them smile or lift their spirits after a bad day and it might be something so small that you don’t even know you’ve made someones day. You could open the door for someone else, offer to buy someones coffee while standing in line at Starbucks, compliment someone, invite someone to sit with you at lunch, help people with random questions they may have regarding their school i.e. math or science, even just a simple smile could brighten someones spirits.
There are a lot of ordinary people doing good deeds that contribute to the world in a good way. An example of this is a middle aged man named Florin Grosuleac. Florin Grosuleac was once an abandoned child living on the streets himself, he remembered what is was like having to beg, fight and/or steal a piece of bread just to survive, so he decided to “host or father” over 60 children in Romania. It all started when he realized how many kids were without a home, living on the streets. Soon after that, he opened up an big orphanage that took 62 kids off the streets. His aim, he says, “is not only to give them a roof over their heads and food, but also to teach them life skills so that they too may turn their lives around for the better.” He once said that his goal is not give them a house to live in but a home and a family that can raise them to be amazing adults that could one day also help others.
Here is a picture of Florin Grosuleac and all of his children.
In conclusion, I believed that change does not start with a popular person with great power doing big things, but it starts with an ordinary person with little to no power doing small acts of kindness that change the world.
Order of operations with fractions and decimal:
I have a lot of trouble solving order of orderations. I always forget to use PEDMAS and it ends up being wrong. Sometimes I go to fast and forget to check my work therefore i’ll forget a step.
AND
From now on I am going to remember to do PEDMAS and check my work after to make sure no mistakes have been made.
Here is a youtube video that I found:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uF2B9RT_NM
