Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty is the best war game in the world. I just bought it a few days ago and I have already finished the campaign.

It’s so addicting and filled with action and violence, when I went to buy the salesperson told my mom to watch it with me when I play and watch all the gore. When I was in there listening to the girl talk about how violent it was and I asked her if she is trying to talk my mom out of buying it but soon after buying it I was immediately home in my room playing it.

The first level is super fun and you are with a guy scaling a mountain in a snowstorm, a few minutes later when you are just finished climbing the mountain you and your friend turn super stealth with your snipers you are perched up on the top of a mountain sniping bad guys way down below with a silenced barrette 50. Cal. sniper rifle. Soon after the sniping session you are down below with your silenced 45Cal pistol sneaking up behind people “Neutralizing” people.

The level after that when you have got the information your organization needs you are chased through a city on snowmobiles shooting other people off their snowmobiles. Then after 2 or 3 minutes of city racing you are racing through a forest and between mountains. This one of my favourite levels I have ever done in any video game.

The last level you are betrayed by your mentor and you go and infiltrate his hideout and kill all his guards until he gets in a boat and you chase him with his guards also in boats shooting you but once you kill all of them it’s just you and “Shepard” then he drives his boat straight into a helicopter and it takes off and turns around to shoot us but we both fire at the propellers and it blows up and then not noticing we fall off a cliff and we live somehow and Shepard lives also and he finds me before I find him and he puts a knife into my chest.

My friend finds me just before he shoots me and he takes him out and they get in a fight and Shepard is about to kill him then I pull knife out of my chest and throw it through his head.


There are lots of more very good levels like the first and last one if you liked the ones I just explained.

As you can see (read) that this sounds like a very good game and it is! My opinion is that this is the best game ever made and I very strongly think you should go out and buy it as soon as you can. I love this game and I think you will to (that if you are into war games).

Call of Duty is the ultimate video game on earth but the only down side is that it is $75 after taxes but other than that it’s amazing.

Eva Olssen

On Monday October 28 we had Eva Olssen came into our school and talk to us about hate , the Holocaust and her experience in the Holocaust. Eva Olssen is one of the few Holocaust survivours.

When she was talking to us and going through the slides. One of the things that impacted me personally the most was when she witenesed here own mother and many other people be brutally murdered by the German and Austrian Nazi's. I definatly could not stomach those sights and painful 15 or so years in a concentration camp.

At the begining she was talking about bullies and bystanders and how a bystander is just as bad as a bully not because they joined in but because they did not do anyhting about it. One thing that i wil always remember for the years to come is that:
1) Dont use the word hate anymore, because that is what started the Holocaust.
2) Dont be a bully or a bystander, no matter what.
3) The Holocaust was horrible.

Out of all the information Eva was throwing at use I only have one question and that queation is " How did you survive 15 years of hell in hell?."

All the information Eva was telling us about I already have started to stop using the word "Hate". Eva was so true because the word "Hate" started the Holocaust and not just that but many , many more bad situstaions we all want never to happen again.
War for example is one.

The information that Eva was saying during the hour slide show and history lesson, the most important thing we should remember is that: Never use the word "Hate" and be a bystander. Those things can lead into some bad things over the years that you dont want to get yourself into. And finally the hardest thing I will have to do is to stop using the word "Hate", it is very hard because before we met her i was using that word in almost every other sentence. But I will try my hardest to stop it.

Norval

At norval one thing that we did well as a group is in the "Mission Imposible" stage. We pulled Emilie Pollard up so high that she hit her head on the tires 30 feet in the air. haha.

One trouble we had was at "The Wall" when Aureon was falling and nobody was paying attention so he fell on the hard ground. But then Angus the team leader was apparently the only one paying attention and acctually he was off talking to a tree.

I learned how to be a leader when i helped Emily Moon and Alex pull up Emilie Pollard.

The day showed me that if you work together well and dont fight you can achieve anything.

The day was pretty fun and i am sad that this was our last year doing it.

little things in life

A little thing in my life that i really appreciate is my little doggy Attia. Attia is always there and jumping up on me when i get home. She sometimes bites me and can get very angry when i take her toy or stand by the vacuum and sometimes just because shes sleepy.

She can be very funny when she digs in the garden and walks inside with mud all over her face or when she trys to be sneaky and runs into a door and freaks out when she sees us looking at her. Ilove my dog and no matter what she does i'll still love her.

Quote

Marcus Aurelis - Roman Emperor (121 - 180)wrote - "Waste no more time arguing about what men should be . Be one."
I think this a great quote because its true because we should be spending more time trying to improve our ways other than talking about what we should be.

poverty

Why don’t people donate more?

The statistic that surprised me the most was the bullet that said “that almost 11 million kids die before their fifth b-day. That’s 30 thousand a day”. That one surprised me the most because if you think about it that’s almost the population of Ontario a day!

My initial reaction to the stories was very shocking because kids all around the world suffer from starvation, no water, diseases and many more things and we don’t even do anything about it. While they are over there struggling to survive we are over here struggling to figure out to turn on the TV. I don’t have any comments about the stories other than it is very hard to believe.

Reading the statistics have changed the way I think of poverty because in Canada alone 41% of all food bank clients are under the age of 18, and world wide 600 million of the worlds children live in total poverty and 800 million people go to bed hungry every night! But the fact that tops it all is quote “According to the Worldwatch Institute the annual expenditure of pet food in Europe and the United States is 17 billion dollars. With an annual investment of 19 billion dollars, we can elimitate global hunger and malnutrition” that really effects me because with the money that we spend on our stupid animal pets we could save over 500 million people a day!

That’s my opinion of poverty so do me a favour try to donate more to food banks and supports children in different places.
