Pobre Ana project

Cade on

This past week in my Spanish 1 honors class my peers and I have studied the geography of Mexico! We have mostly looked at Nyarit, Mexico, as this is the state Ana, the main character of the book ¨Pobre Ana¨ by Blaine Ray, travels to in order to get out of the house and learn more about the wonderful country that is Mexico. I have gained tons of knowledge of Mexico and what there is to do there. For example, did you know that Nyarit, Mexico, has a population of 1.18 million and that the capital of Nyarit, Tepic, has a population of 323,863? That’s large but nowhere near as large of that of Texas, or even the capital of Mexico,  Mexico City, which has a population of 8.855 million! Fun fact! If you went to Mexico with only ten United States dollars you would have 188.42 Mexican pesos, which sounds like a lot, but in actuality is the same. This means that the exchange rate from dollar to peso is 18.84. As a part of the project, we also constructed a google slide of the ¨Top ten things to do around Nyarit, Mexico¨ which included everything from cafes to art walks! I found some quite unexpected activities that seemed like they would be a lot of fun. You can view that slideshow below in case you plan on taking a spontaneous trip, or are just plain interested!

SWALLOWING STONES BOOK REVIEW

Cade on

Swallowing stones – by Joyce Mcdonald, is about a young man named Michael Mackenzie who carelessly fires his brand new Winchester Rifle into the sky. That same bullet strikes _____ Ward on the back of the head, and kills him. Jenna Ward, Mr. Wards daughter, has trouble accepting what has happened to her dear father, and you follow her through her stages of anger and grief. while also following Michael in his journey to make the right or wrong decision about telling his secret. The book has an amazing action packed story that keeps you wondering the next move, and fate of these well designed three dimensional characters.  The story will also take you through your own emotions such as : anger, fear, suspense, relief, sorrow, and happiness. Joyce does a great job of reminding us of what life as a teenager was like, and this great depth of reality causes us to reflect on our wrong decisions we made in our younger days. The book’s ending also leaves you hungry for more suspenseful action.

I recommend you read this book as soon as possible, because your life could change at any moment.
