May 8th List Poem

My Mom is the type of that alway has to know were you are
She makes you keep eating after you told her you were full
She makes me feel better when im mad
She supports me in all my sports
She can be the biggest pain in the ass
But she can be the only person i talk to sometimes
My Mom understands me better than most people
She always has a home cooked meal wen i come home late
She tries to make food like my grandmother but is still a little behind
She gets me new cloths when i need them
She teaches me how to dress nice for big occasions
She is a bad driver
My Mom is family

There are many things about Proctor Academy that I think would be a good idea to change. The thing that I think would be the best thing to change is the food here at Proctor. The many people would agree with me that the food is not the greates and not what growing kids need and what we pay for.

Environmental Sabotage

The way that some people get their points of views out is through vandalism or nonviolent protest. The people who stand up for the environment do things to prevent destruction of wilderness or animal habitats. They do things such as standing in front of bulldozers, burn buildings, and as they do in the book Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen, the environmentalists pull up construction stakes. These are just some of many things that people do to help protect what they believe in.
Environmental sabotage is used in many forms and is sometimes effective. The whole point of it is to get your point across to corporations and the United States Government. Protesters or secret organization groups like ALF (Animal Liberation Front) and ELF (Earth Liberation Front) do a lot to help stop animal cruelty and deforestation. As environmental sabotage, two individuals were held accountable for eight different forms of arson on the Vail Ski Area. The damage that these people did caused the resort over twelve million dollars in damage. They burned down three new buildings on top of the ski mountain, and damaged four ski lifts that ran to the top of the mountain. These protesters used a more violent and extreme form of sabotage to get their point across. Although Vail ski area rebuilt the burned buildings, ELF still proceeded in sabotaging the Vail Corporation. Since the attacks, there have been one hundred lynx released in the mountains of Vail. The original plan was to help the Canadian lynx to repopulate their species in the Colorado area. There have been eighteen attacks during 1996-2001 and thirteen people were charged for these attacks. Although the attacks on the ski area did not do much effect on the building, the lynx population increased by 100, which was the original plan.
The Earth Liberation Front is not the only organization that helps stop events and series of either environmental or animal destruction. The ALF (Animal Liberation Front) also helps with sabotage of corporate business from destroying the Earths natural wonders. There are many instances in witch the ALF has helped against animal cruelty. For example, at Duke University School of Medicine used to use live pigs for dissection for its third year of surgery course. ALF has stopped the using of live pigs for dissection in 125 schools across the country. That leaves thirteen medicine schools left to stop the animal cruelty. Although the ALF does not go as extreme the Animal Liberation Front is international and stops animal cruelty in Canada, and all across Europe. The issue with Duke was not the only incident in which the Animal Liberation Front acted to save animals. There are many other instances in which they help animals, ALF helped stop animal testing, rodeos, and destroying of animal habitats.
In the book Hoot by Carl Hisaasen he portrays a form of environmental vandalism although the events that occur In the book are not true and are not as severe they still have the same effect on the perpetrators that try to destroy what was already there. The main character in the book is a boy named Roy he and two of his friends Mullet Fingers and Beatrice both find lot of land that is going to be taken over by a Mother Paula’s pancake house. The owls are small and help less and are about to be taken over by a corporation. Roy and his friends sabotage the pancake house by doing things such as spray painting cop cars putting alligators in porter potties and taking up construction stakes, “Again the trespassers had methodically removed every survey marker and filled in the stake holes” (Carl Hisaasen 24). The sabotage worked and the boys got what they wanted they helped save innocent animals and stopped a major corporation. When people group together and help out to do what is right then they can achieve great things.

There plan was to to tell Dana Matherson that there were cigeretts at the construction site so he would go down there and get in trouble. Roy and Mullet fingers tried there plan and told him to go to the construction site. When he got there Officer Daluko found and and asked what he was doing. Dana realized that he was set up and then told officer Daluko that his name was Roy. Officer Daluko knowing Roy knew that this was not him and the plan worked.

The pencil box that is in front of me is filled with what looks like hundreds pens and pencils and all sorts of school materials in the pencil box. The pencil box is made of it looks like wicker and is a light brown like a ply wood color, on the top o the pencil box there is a star note pad that is speckled and looks like there are bubbles on it. To the left of the pencil box there is a chocolate box that says “Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Kisses.” The tin is blue and has Hershey kisses all along the side of the box and they are in all sorts of positions there are 3 laying to the side and there 4 that are standing up straight. Next to the Hershey tin there is a large white cup that says Boston Red Sox, but it is turned sideways and so I only can read half of the cup. The cup is about 3½ of the Hershey tins tall. So that is about 6 inches tall.

3. eco-sabotage, the destruction of property by vandals, is an effective approach in some circumstances for solving difficult environmental problems.

- Gets your point out
- Slows down the process
- In a way it saves the environment
- Helps and saves many animals and forests (if it works)

Some things that can help to sabotage the the people that try to destroy forests and animals and homes are that, you can do things through politics like confronting congress men and talk to them about the problem and why it is not a good idea to continue what they were initionaly planning on doing. Another way that you can sabotage the people that destroy the forest is that you can do protests by standing in fonto of things and protect them or you can burn things down to make them stop doing what they are doing.

Sketch #3 revised March 30

As I sit in study hall the encyclopedias stand upright in order alphabetically next to me and set a shadow across the keys on my key board. A forest green lamp is diagonally from me and it is reflecting with the light and is showing the whole room. The lamp makes a fish eye effect on the room because I can see everything and the closer I get to the lamp the more my face gets stretched out. A chair that sits to the left is a light red wood and a dark brown mixed together, this chair has 5 slats. The slats curve slightly to make a back rest for the person who sits on it. The slats cast a shadow that goes diagonally to the left down the chair seat and onto the floor. The forest green floor looks darker than it actually is due to the dim lighting in the learning lab room. Four lights hang by curly wires that are white and hang from the dark brown wood ceiling. The lights were I am sitting are not on and it makes the room a soothing dim and is a good light for for all the work that is to come.
