It’s only been a few days into Trump’s presidency and a lot of people want him out of office. People are saying that he’s not fit to be president or that he’s really racist. Well at this point, Trump hasn’t done anything wrong. People have to take the time to listen to a president and hear what he has to say because some news channels change up what the President is saying and then people think badly about him. Just because the president we have isn’t the one you want doesn’t mean you have to cause riots and destroy property. You won’t always get what you want. Like in Bill Gates' eleven rules he said that life isn't fair so to get over it. Besides, it's been like that for so many years. At the Inauguration, some of the parts were pretty funny. One thing that I thought was really funny was Michelle Obama's face when she received the Trumps. Melanie came dressed very elegantly and she even had a present for the Obamas. When Melanie gave Michelle the present, she looked super mad. It looked like she didn't even like the present, but you know I'm not taking sides. Now that Donald Trump is president he might bring positive and negative things into our country, but were hoping for the best. We at least have to give him a chance. We can't judge him from the outside, but from the inside. Long live America!

On Wednesday, our 8th grade class went to the Norton Simon Museum. The museum is located in Pasedna. The museum was beautiful and it so many pieces of art that were magnificent. We first started out on a tour about the history of art. The first painting we saw was Madonna and the child. It was such a beautiful painting. Mary was painted so delicately and her clothes that she was wearing symbolized some things. She was wearing red, white, and blue. Each color had a certain meaning. Red means love and passion of Christ, white means purity, and blue means peace.That painting of Madonna and the child is a Renaissance piece. Our tour guide said that in almost ever painting with Mary in it during the Renaissance time, she was wearing blue which symbolized peace. There were also other paintings that had religious meaning to it. As time passed by, artist didn't want to follow the rules of art. They wanted to paint whatever they felt like and they didn't care if they were judged. After the tour we went to have lunch. We had to cross the street two times in order to get to the lawn. After lunch, we went to explore the museum with our groups. My group went to go see the Buddha statues, the gardens, and the gift shop. I got a small flower made out of glass. It was so beautiful. After that we went to go sit in the gardens and eat dessert and then left. It was an amazing time and I enjoyed going to the Norton Simon Museum. This whole week has been nothing, but rain and more rain. Our after school sports have been cancelled multiple times due to the rain. Luckily, we were able to have a few practices. All the rain has caused floods to occur in different parts of Southern California. There has also been a lot of snow up in the mountains which some people enjoy playing in. The rain has also caused mud slides. A home in Hollywood was closed because a piece of the concrete foundation fell and they had to close the street down. No one was home at the time. Also in Glassell Park a large tree crushed a car on Wednesday. More that forty percent of California is out of a drought. This is great because we need water and without water we can’t survive. Also we need learn to conserve water. We can't just waste water. We need to take shorter showers and turn off the fosset when you're brushing your teeth. It’s been pretty good for Northern California because the snow has caused the rivers and lakes to rise a bit. For example, Lake Tahoe rose one foot because of all the snow. We need more rain in order to get out of the drought. Some people might think that the drought is not important, but it is and we should conserve water everyday. Anyone can conserve water. Just take shorter showers. Don't take one hour in the shower. Take fifteen minutes at least. Remember that you can make a difference. |
