I found any interesting article in National Geographic called Here's Our Best Look Yet at Saturn's "UFO" Moon. I found this article by looking through National Geographic. I chose it because I have always like read about new findings in space. This article talks about a "flying saucer" that is orbiting Saturn in the outer rings. This object that NASA's Cassini Spacecraft found is a moon named Pan. It is only about 21 miles long and has a distinct shape. The Cassini Spacecraft was able to get images observing the moons shape.

Pan is a type of moon called a shepherd moon. It is located in a gap in the rings of Saturn. This gap was created from Pan vacuuming particles of the ring. The gap was actually discovered before Pan and it was what led to the finding of Pan in 1990. What interested me in this article was how Pan was able to create this gap and how Pan was able to obtain the shop it has. It makes me wonder how much bigger the gap will be in the next decade.

My favorite book that I have read this year was Four Blind Mice by James Patterson. Patterson rights about a detective, Alex Cross, trying to solve his last case before he retires. This book never got me board of reading it. There was always something interesting happening. There were many events in this book that eventually led up to the climax, which kept my reading it.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about crime solving. I liked this book so much because there was also a lot of suspense. There were many parts when you knew something bad was about to happen. Patterson did a great job of keeping the reader's attention throughout the story. This was definitely my favorite book this year, and probably one of my absolute favorites.

Learning Reflection

Throughout my first year of high school, I have become a better writer. Although, my writing still isn't that great, but it has definitely improved. My writing in the first semester started out not so great. I remember doing the personal narrative and trying to make as much vivid detail as could. I also remember having to focus in on a short period of time. Even after my final draft, I still didn't have enough vivid detail and didn't focus on a shorter period of time.

My literary analysis went a little bit better than my personal narrative. After writing the literary analysis, I was definitely able to tell that my writing had improved. When we started doing the research paper, I had found an interesting topic and a lot of information about it. While writing it, I knew that it was going to be my best writing this year. Overall, my writing this year has improved greatly this year.

Song

Gillan Welch uses repetition and internal rhyme in his song "Dark Turn of Mind" to emphasize what he is singing about. He uses repetition to express his senses, "Now I see the bones in the river/ And I feel the wind through the pine/ And I hear the shadows a-calling..." The senses he is expressing is sight, touch, and hearing to show what the mood is like.

Welch also uses internal rhyme to express the mood of the song. He sings, "But oh ain't the nighttime so lovely to see?/ Don't all the nightbirds sing sweetly?" The words "nighttime" and "nightbird" tells that the it is night but they also make the mood of the song more calm.

Mardi Gras Break

This Mardi Gras break will not be very exciting for me. The only thing I have planned so far is going to my camp in Mississippi. I am going there this weekend with a friend and my family. We usually go there for hunting, but now hunting season is over. We have a pond there so we will probably go fishing.
For the rest of Mardi Gras break I am doing nothing, but I will probably find something to do. I don't think I am going to any parades. I will probably go to my friend's house. I will also probably go back to my camp. At least I will have a break from school and will have time to relax.
