In the story of "When Rain Clouds Gather"Makhaya has escaped from his old country to go to Botswana. Once he finds himself inside of the Botswana borders, he is hiding as a refugee inside of Dinorego's house. When Dinorego first met Makhaya, he watches out for Makhaya and introduced him to his daughter, Maria, and his good friend Gilbert. Gilbert has big plans for Golema Mmidi, plans to modernize the country and open the people's eyes to new things and other stuff that he discovers. He needs to change the way that the people of the country see things. If all Golema plans get discover the women would be able to speak out for theme selves, and the brutal actions towards them would be stopped. The men would be able to stay home with their family and not have to travel around with cattle and children will be able to stay home and go to school. Chief Matenge highly dislikes Dinorego and Gilbert. He feels that they are trying to take over when really they are only trying to help him. The Chief only wants to stay in power and rule over all of the land which can't be done because of his enemy Chief Sekoto which is his brother.This book is kinda good, meanwhile I think something's going to happen between Paulina and Makhaya.

Handguns
Why do people carry handguns? Some people carry guns because people think their tough. Guns ruin everything and everyone. You get ten to thirty for bringing a gun to school. If you shot somebody you get life depending on the situation. The only people that should have guns is police officers but sometimes I think they shouldn't have them either. Some people think that people who carry guns are bad people because they carry them.
But I thing that you CAN'T judge people who carry guns unless you know their situations, and why they carry that gun. I know people who carry guns for protections because of the neighborhood that they live in. But they never use it just got it for protection because of the crazy people in their neighborhood.

A Drop of Milk
1.)The questions that I have for this myth is how does stone create iron and iron create fire?
2.) The World was created by a drop of milk.
4.) The each defeat each other in a series of pattern, like right behind each other.
5.) Doondari return as Gueno to defeat death because he's powerful than death.
6.) If man hadn't been happy/proud, then everything probably would have been dull and nothing good would come from man.
7.) If man had not been proud then the world would be dead nothing would get done and women would have more work to do.
8.)
9.) I think it explains death a little bit but I think it could explain death a little bit more because it was hard for me to understand I also think it needs to get more in dept with it.

Rain Cloud
The central conflict in the story "When Rain Clouds Gathers " is a fugitive and is on the run . On his run he runs into a lot of people like the old man and the lady that he talks into letting him stay with her. Some of the main characters of the story is Chief Matenge, Makhaya, Gilbert, and Chief Sekoto. Some attributes of Makhaya is that he's sly because he escape, giving because he gave the little girl money, and smart because he registered himself as a residence. The plot summary of the story is that he escape and went to a different town without anyone knowing right away. Then he talk some lady that he saw in the woods I believe and tried to talk her into letting him stay there. He also started working with Gilbert in the farm. Gilbert is a wise man who help the people and the chief dislikes him for that. So this is what's going on so far in "When Rain Clouds Gather."

~ Hurricane Katrina ~
Hurricane Katrina ruined many peoples lives and broke apart a lot of families. My heart goes out to those who lost love ones and everything that they owned. I think that the government should try and hurry up and rebuild New Orleans. It's seem that out of all of the damages that hurricanes had made it's taking them longer to rebuild New Orleans .But hurricane Katrina was a big destroyed that effect a lot of people and just not the people that she hit.

Writing Options ( The Pillow Book)
February 16, 2007
Got a paper saying that I have fulfilled the first eligibility requirement to be in the National Honor Society. I went home and told my parents and they were happy for me and told me to fill out the papers and see if I get accept.
February 18, 2007
Got three comments from the residents at work saying that I'm a very good and polite waitress. I was surprise at first because I didn't even see anyone writing any comments nor put any comment papers in the comment box from my quad.

Just before school was out the fire alarm went off and we thought it was a fire at first but then we thought maybe someone pull it because no teacher or principal would pull it two minutes before class, well that's what I was thinking to myself.
The Students
The students that are in my four classes are good kids. You know how you can have through trouble makers or through smart mouthed ones that talk back to the teacher, well I don't have none of them in my class at least I think so. I like that because that way everyone gets the help that they might need and there's no distractions in class. I get alone with all my peers in my classes which is a good thing. So through are the Booker High Students that I see everyday for five days a week.
BHS Teachers
When It comes to Booker Highs Teachers what can I say...Well my teacher's that I have are very helpful and nice. But I have this one teacher that's the nicest her name is Mrs. Postell. She different for most teachers and that's a good thing. Most teachers just give you your work and tell you what needs to be done. But It's different with Mrs. Postell I love her class and the things we do in her class, like Blogger.com where we get to write our opinions on different topics. The one thing that I love about Mrs. Postell is that she very open and involve with her students. I never seen a teacher that's so involve with her students like Mrs. Postell. When I found out that she was teacher of the month all I could say is that she deserve it even through I haven't even known her for that long. If I could pick any teacher at Booker High School as my mentor I would pick Mrs. Postell or Mr. Patterson because they're real down to earth as teachers and most teachers aren't that way.

Women In Botswana.
Life in Botswana is very hard for male and female because of the high aids infection rate in the southern part of Africa where Botswana is located. Out of one thousand infants that are females, fifty-two of them die. On a daily basis, the women there are beaten then raped by their male partners. Most women of Botswana that are pregnant have AIDS or HIV and they also don't have any rights.The women of Botswana get paid as much as males do. There isn't any male doctors in Botswana that deliver babies only women doctors deliver babies in Botswana.
The women in Botswana have alot of time on there hands unlike their husbands. Their living conditions are very bad they don't have transportation so that means they have to walk everywhere they go even if it's raining. They also have to search for what food they can find for them and their families to eat. So it's a very big struggle for them when it comes to surving in Botswana.
