My Puppy

     About four months ago my mom found a Facebook post on a cute little black puppy that was found wandering around the streets. My mom automatically wanted the dog, but my dad felt we already had a dog and we didn't need another one. But then on Valentines day, my dad surprised my mom with the puppy she wanted! Now Nigel is around six months, the vets guess, and is one wild puppy! We have been taking him to puppy training classes for more than two months now, and Nigel is getting better at being the best puppy!

Things That Bother me

 One thing that bothers me is when people are two faced. It really gets on my nerves when someone can act a certain way then act a different way when they talk to someone else. Some of my friends act two faced sometimes, they tell me something then they go around telling other people a different story. I think that if someone feels a certain way they should express that in the same way towards everyone that they might talk to after they talk to you. Being two faced is not a good trait to have and someone who does have that trait really needs to think about improving their way of not being two faced.

The City Museum

 The City Museum is absolutely nothing like it sounds like, it sounds like it would be a boring museum with dinosaur bones, ancient artifacts, and all that educational stuff. However, the City Museum is a humongous 12 or so story building with something fun to explore on each level. On the first floor there are little holes and caves in the walls that you can climb in and climb on. If you see a hole in the wall most likely it was put there for you to crawl trough and come out on the other side to find more caves! So City Museum is a great place to bring your family!

Kid Nation Ep. 6

 Social Exchange -  Since Taylor was not reelected for the town council she was being bitter to Zach about being a town council member. Zach was elected to be on the town council so that means he has to wake up early. When Zach was ringing the bell to wake up the town Taylor got annoyed. She walked out to Zach and said she wanted to give stress to hi, since he gave stress to her, she claims.


 Coercion-  Taylor did not contribute to the plan to burry the trash like the town council planned her to do. Instead Taylor decided to run away from all of the problems and not do the labor everyone else had to do. The council then decided to give Taylor and Leila , Taylor's best  friend , a harsh punishment to maybe make them realize it would have been easier to do the labor in the first place. Taylor was then given the punishment to carry the water from the water spout to the tank. However, Taylor still threw a fit over the labor and refused to do the work the town council expected of her.

 Authority -  The new town council consists of a new leader on the red team and the yellow team. Zach replaced Taylor in the yellow district, and guylan replaced mike in the red district. These were the new members of the town council and some people didn't agree with that. However, since taylor was not a leader the town has been running more smoothly. Bonanza is running better with different leaders.   

Kid Nation ep.5

In-Group -  Taylor and a few other girls from the yellow group continue to slack off of their job and sleep in. These girls believe that they are above everyone else however everyone else believes that these girls are at a equal playing field. There was then a reelection and a lot of people were against Taylor being a leader for Bonanza city anymore. Taylor has continually showed slack during this whole period. Hopefully Taylor gets voted out to be a council member so bonanza will run better.

Conflict- Since the town is having a reelection a person from each group is running against their leader. All of the people who are running against their leader have given a speech and the speeches have caused conflicts between the groups. Taylor still getting a chance to be elected has caused conflicts too, for example a boy from red district tore down one of Taylor's posters in rage of Taylor being a bad leader. Many believe that these conflicts are ruining the town. However, Taylor not being elected has caused less conflicts.


Group Boundary - The pay that the pioneers receive divides the groups up. For example the upper class gets $1.00 a day and the laborers only get 10 cents a day. This causes differences not only financial but it also causes people to think they are better than the group just because of their pay. The upper class is most likely entitled to think this then the lower classes. Another group boundary is popularity, some pioneers think they are better because of their popularity instead of how they are participating in running the town.
