Family origin


My family came from Lebanon I am pretty sure. My dad's side is Jewish and my great great grandmother traveled to America. She lived in New York for a while and then married a man from the south. My mom's family came from Europe and are Christain. So my parents have let my brother and I decide what religon we would like to be. But we do celebrate Hanukah, Easter, Passover, and Christmas. This is all I really know for sure about my family's history!

Journal Questions

Journal 2: Each generation is different than the one before it but sometimes that difference is not in the new generation being smarter. Generations before us tell us we are smarter because we are learning from the older generations mistakes, but the younger generation has to be willing to learn and listen. This being told to younger generations they immediately believe their smarter and do not have to listen or learn how to be smarter they just naturally are. This is why I think the younger generation might be the same intelligence or less smart then the generation before them. Learning is not just given to someone you have to be willing to listen to the mistakes made in the past and fix your decisions so you do not make the same. This quote can only be true if the younger generation is willing to learn from the mistakes of the older generation and if that is not achieved then the younger generation is no more intelligent then the one before it. This goes the r...

The Origin of Ants

My interpretation of The Origin of Ants is that it was a very good and cool story. It is about a poor man who does not like to work in another country to make more money for his family which results in this wife giving him smack talk. To come home the guy tells his wife that he has developed a great sense of smell and that will bring their family fortune. The king hears of this man and wants to tet his ability and he passes. Knowing that his talent is actually made up he retires so he does not get sent to jail for impersonating. The poor guy proved his smelling powers so well that the people of the town threw him so high in the sky that he turned to dust once he came down and the dust turned into ants. He was also told by the king that if he could figure out the smell of what he had hidden then he could hold any position at court under the king. The lesson is that to just be a loving family and money should not mean anything as long as you have your family. I really liked this story b...

Urban Legend

       The urban legend I read was called "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs". During this legend a teenage girl goes and babysits for a family that has three children. When she arrives at the house all three of the children are already asleep and the parents tell her to not to disturb them. She follows their orders and quietly works on her homework downstairs. She receives a phone call and there was no one on the other line. The phone rings again but this time with a creepy voice that says 'have you checked on the kids'. This phone call was made two more times. The girl was very scared and called the police. The police were able to track the caller to the same house but upstairs. They tell the girl to get out of the house and right as she did the man appears at the top of the stairs covered in blood. He had murdered all the kids.        This story creeped me out a lot as I tend to babysit a lot of kids. What I have learned from this story is t...
