Final Thoughts On Blackfish

After I’ve heard from two perspectives, Blackfish and SeaWorld, I think I’ve finally made my decision. I’ll go on side with... SeaWorld. Sure, trainers have been killed by what people think of the orcas as hostile fish. But, SeaWorld said that they are trying their best to help these orcas with possible care and train them to do things they never could. Plus, they still are making money in which some of it goes to animal care organizations. This makes feel like SeaWorld is actually taking care of the orcas. And the deaths Tilikum are responsible could be just actual tragic accidents. I’ve initially thought that orcas were captured so SeaWorld can prepare the orcas to do acts and make money from it. No that wasn’t the case, they were brought in to breed, feed, and make the orcas feel like they were in home. So yes, that’s my official side now. I’m with SeaWorld.

Blackfish Initial Thoughts

     Here are some of my ideas on this topic. First of all, Tilikum is a double-sized orca trained at SeaWorld after being captured around the 1980s or 90s.

     He died on January 6, of 2017. This was because some said that he had deteriorating health and a lung disease. This happened after years of the tragic events of two trainers and a trespasser being killed.

     SeaWorld in my opinion seems like a horrible place to be up front watching. If I was there for a show, I’d rather sit a little further back from the safe fence. I mean, right? Who wants to possibly risk their life at front and get possibly dragged down into the tank.

     I found out yesterday that, sure, these killer whales are captured and trained, but can also have hostile play-styles. They can drag and bite, or swim down deep in the tank to drown its victim.

     So the question here is, should orcas be at SeaWorld? Or should they be in the ocean? My answer is that they should indeed be in the ocean. They don’t belong in a tank that is not enclosed all the way and could possibly do much harm to tourist. But of course as well turn on their trainer.

Thanksgiving Break Of 2019

     Oh yeah I sure wish it still was break, my mom would have to be working through Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So it gave me some time to play. There was this competitive thing every month on Xbox that if you get the most gamerscore beyond your friends you win that month. There wasn’t any prize you’d get I guess it’s just to see who’s better at getting gamerscore. But anyway I did won, I only wanted to win because I was born in November, that was after my B-Day but let’s go through the week.

     Friday, I just played games. Saturday, cleaned up the house a bit so at least it’s less dirtier before a Thanksgiving feast and to celebrate half my B-Day that time. I’ll explain more in a bit. Sunday, well same as Friday?

     Monday, we went out for our winter pictures, though it took like 6 hours just to get to our photo spot only to spend twenty minutes taking pictures which seemed like a waste of time. In addition to that was a trip to the store! Oh how could it get any worse than this? Well it doesn’t matter now since that’s over.
   
     Tuesday, I helped my mom set up decorations on the outside of our house. We were missing some decorations because they did get broken overtime. It really bothered me with the outside but my mom said she’d buy more, if she does promise to do so. Oh no I didn’t see her the next few days, buy anything while she had time.

     Wednesday, food shopping and cleaning one more time. I asked my mom if we could do my birthday on Thanksgiving. We did it before with my other sister, Bhrielle, but it was like three holidays at once? My sisters birthday, Easter, and maybe something else? Or I guess that’s it.

     Thursday, half my B-Day was celebrated the feast and singing were part of it, the rest was Thanksgiving really after all the set up. There’s a lot I did that day that I can’t explain right now. But after we did go to Best Buy to get my gifts, for me we got the newest Apple IPad which was the 7th Generation and a racing game that I always wanted, Forza Horizon 4, awesome!

     Friday, the day on the date of my real B-Day, mom got the cake, nice, but really what’s better was cheesecake, yum. I waited so long to claim the gifts but oh wait, a sad twist, my dad never told me that because we did get my gifts for sale, Forza was actually a gift for Christmas which was a bummer, but my IPad I did get to use.

     Saturday, I used a little time for my Xbox since I was spending time with my new electronic buddy, I had my phone for two years, and Xbox for just “One” year haha! And here joins in the newest Apple IPad wow! I may not get those Apple Pencils but I’m dying to get to Christmas. I want my Forza Horizon 4!

    Sunday, I woke up in the morning bummed about being the last day for Thanksgiving Break. At 9AM, I check my phone, got on the Xbox app, 8 hours left on the clock to determine who will win that month but yes I did won. I was 520 gamerscore from a friend in second place everybody else was like over 1,000 below me. Yay, I took a screenshot later haha. But really spent my last moments using my IPad with my sisters, cooked up some Mac and Cheese then shared it with my sisters, I really don’t have any brothers which is sad, and only three sisters. Mom promised me a case for my new device. But she couldn’t get it which is okay. Slept in bed later after I ate a nice meal mom made, and done with that day.

     Monday, here I am now in Block one of reading writing this, huehahaha. Xy signing out.

First Quarter Reflection

First quarter of the first year of the first half of it, not bad. I mean it's not like the grades I got are bad. Just I thought the kids were, haha. Mostly 3s, a couple of 4s, and maybe two 2s. But hey, it’s for first quarter, nothing to worry about. I’m glad I did good in math just by exceeding most of the lessons. But I need to talk with my partners more often. I often do the work alone with no help. Although, I did get my 4s there. Reading, I’m alright on that. But I wanna get a four more often, I’m gonna have to explain things like a seventh grader. Thing is, the final test, I just spent less time on it. Usually doing that may get you something wrong, but I thought quick about my answers and got done with it. Made me get some of my 3s. Social Studies, it was fun and cool! Solving the mystery of Ötzi the Iceman’s death was amazing, we had some pretty good theories of how he died. 3s from that. Science was cool at the beginning, we explained how a catapult works, tested a material mixed with air. I thought I didn’t do good yet I got a 3, but that’s alright. Art was cool, I liked the tools we used to help us paint, draw or sketch, and that’s about it. I liked the part where we made those eyes. Too bad my freckles on the guy’s eye area weren’t realistic. But surely enough my sister will enjoy doing Art here. She’ll do more than a 3 I hope. I’m just gonna say one part of health got me a 3, but the other, a 2. I wish I knew how my poster looked, I wasn’t the one who got to finish the details of the drawing, but I was the one who put the information about how bad alcohol is. I believe that’s it, there’s enough that I explained here.

The Best Day Of My Life

The Best Day Of My Life Was During “After” Thanksgiving Of 2018. Before My B-Day Came Up, We Drove To The Mall By North Riverside.

There Was Sales For Items, But The Best Sale Was Buying
Something Else On Sale To Get A Free Xbox One S!

Geez, I’m Like In A Literal “WOW” Face At That Point. And It’s My Gift On My Birthday, Which I’m Very “Thankful” For That. I Got A Box With A Minecraft Master Pack.

You Know The One With A Thousand Mine-coins, And Like Five Add-ons To Go Along With It. Oh, I Got A Free Two Week Gold And A Month Game-pass

(This Is The Part Where I Found My Interest In The Game I Was Just Playing Last Weekend).

I Did Have To Wait A Few More Days After My Real B-Day To Open The Box. But Who Cares, At Least I Got Something God-ish.

Plans For This Weekend 10/11-10/14/19

Okay so this weekend, not much. We can’t really do much this weekend, we’re all gonna be busy. So I guess no family time together. But I guess we could watch horror movies, if we have the chance. I’m just gonna be doing my every weekend chores doing laundry, clean my bedroom up, all of that... Until when it gets to my free-time I’m gonna get on my Xbox One and just play some games. Good news is we have an extra day so more can be done at that time. Bad news, the days are gonna go quick anyway. And I’ll just end up back in school in less than a minute. Nah I’m just being silly, weekends can take longer than school days. The fact that you get thirty-five hours in total of school in a week. And about 56 hours in the weekend, or more if there are off days. Actually since it is October, we might decorate our house as well. I mean we do have enough time instead of me just lying on my couch doing nothing but house chores, and playing my favorite game State Of Decay 2. That’s about it, so I guess cya and whatever you’re doing this weekend, cool.

The Climate Strike

A 16-year-old climate activist named Greta Thunberg gave out a speech on Monday, the 23rd of September. Thunberg said that world leaders are doing nothing about it. “People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth,” she said. Also said that her dreams were in ruins because of the situation happening. That new generations won’t be able to reach their goals in life. Thunberg said that she’d never forgive the leaders for failing on climate change.
