=﻿Welcome to My New Wiki! = Ello my name is Caroline. I attend this school called Humanitas Academy of Art and Technology, its the yellow building. Im gonna post up some writings so yeah, I hope you like them if you read them. ^_^

A Day With My Sisters Something I will never forget with my sisters is a day we were super bored. My parents went grocery shopping and we were home a lone. We didn’t go with them because we never get what we want, so we just let them buy whatever they needed. There was nothing to do so we started taking pictures. So we went to my older sister Claudia’s room.

When we went into her room, we started thinking of what kind of poses we can do. We got some ideas and we started taking pictures. We decided to take picture because we couldn’t go unless we wanted to get in trouble. We couldn’t do different poses holding the camera, so we put it on her counter and put it on automatic. Once we put on the timer we were able to do weird and crazy poses.

In one of the pictures, my sister decided to jump. She set the timer and she and my younger sister Valerie were going to jump and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to jump because I thought they were going to think I stole their idea. While we were getting ready someone was at the door, so I went to go see whom it was. It was my uncle Jimmy but he just came by to drop off stuff. When I went back to my sister’s room, the camera was seconds away from taking the picture. I forgot Claudia was going to jump so I just put my chin/jaw on her shoulder, but I don’t think she felt it.

The camera was beeping to take the picture and she jumped and hit my jaw REALLY hard. I didn’t even care how I came out in the picture, so I just grabbed the side of my cheek in pain. I don’t know why id didn’t get ice, but I just kept holding my cheek. I thought I broke a tooth, but I didn’t. After the pain went away my sisters showed me the picture and I was covering my face, Claudia had a surprised face, and my sister Valerie was laughing at us. We still have the picture on our computer, and every time we see it we start laughing. This is a time and a picture I will never forget.

I Remember I remember the smell of the hot chocolate in all five rooms, feeling the warmth and taste of the sweet bread in my mouth.

And while I was waiting for the hot chocolate, the coldness of the rain outside was nothing compared to the warmth inside.

I remember my sister waking up in the middle of the night, screaming like crazy thinking someone was about to kill her.

I remember riding biked up and down the hill having the best time of my life feeling free.

And on hot days sitting by the shade eating nice cold ice cream feeling good and “cool”

I remember swimming in my aunt’s pool while watching my little sister run across the pool naked running for her clothes, leaving all of us laughing.

And while we were swimming with the 100 degreed sun, we were all getting bad sunburns on our faces and shoulders.

And while we were having fun swimming in the hot, hot heat, our parents were making the food outside using the grill.

I remember walking around the neighborhood not worrying about anyone kidnapping me, with my parents’ trust.

Cleaning Bugs Me  An activity that bugs me is cleaning and washing dishes. I don’t like washing dishes because it’s a waste of time, when you have a family that likes to dirty them. It bugs me when I’m cleaning because when I finish, it becomes a disaster again.

It bugs me when it’s my turn to wash dishes. I don’t like it because my hands get dry and wrinkly. I remember when I was five years old. I was excited to was dishes. It was exciting to me because it was my first time to ever wash them. It took me about three hours to finish washing them because I had little tiny slow hands. When I was done, everyone was proud of me. My uncle gave me two dollars and I was very happy, but after I saw my hands I was disgusted. I was disgusted because they looked dry and wrinkly, and they weren’t soft. It was scary to me because I’ve never seen them like that, and what got me mad, was when I went back to the kitchen, I saw that there was a big stack of new dirty dishes. Ever since that day I’ve hated washing dishes, and the same thing still happens to me, huge new piles of dirty dishes when I’m done. That is why washing dishes, bugs me.

Another thing that bugs me is cleaning my house. It is not my favorite thing to do in this world because it gets me super tired, and it takes forever to finish. It bugs me because people get in my way when I’m sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming. I remember for my birthday, my mom made me clean the house. I had to clean because a lot of people were going to come over to celebrate. When I finished it was sparkly clean, no mess, not even a single piece of dirt. When the guests started coming, I was starting to get scared. I was getting mad because little by little the house was turning into a mess. I was kind of upset, but after I got over it and started having fun. I took that problem off my mind because I knew I wasn’t going to clean the next day. After that was off my mind I went outside to my backyard and went straight to my jumper. I ate tamales, and hit my piñata to enjoy all the candy in there. That is why cleaning bugs me, but getting it off of my mind doesn’t.

Dear 2nd period,

//That was Then, This is Now// by S.E Hinton is one of the best books I have ever read. I have read two other books from her- //RumbleFish and The Outsiders// but I'm hoping to read some more if I find them. Most of this book takes place in "Charlies Bar" and outside on the streets. I think Hinton wanted us, the readers, to know how life was for sixteen-year olds.

Bryon, Mark, M&M, and Cathy are the main characters in this novel. Bryon and Mark always met up with M&M at the store or around the streets. Bryon would meet up with Cathy at the snack bar in the hospital where she worked at. Cathy is M&M's sister.

Bryon, who used to go everywhere with his brother Mark, starting fights, and getting drunk most of the time, changes when he turns sixteen.

"Life had seemed so simple once, now it suddenly seems so complicated. I could remember at time when my only worry had been paying Charlie the three bucks I owed him. Things used to be simple and now they weren't."

To me Bryon's voice sounds sad, miserable, and depressed, wanting to be a little kid again. Hinton describes how frustrating, sad, and miserable his life had changed since the past year. The way she describes what he's going through, makes me feel what he is feeling. I feel like if I lost all those friends and I feel like everybody hated me.

This novel is filled with violence, romance, sadness, and maybe every mood that exists. It reveals the bumpy lives teenagers go through everyday. Hintons message is that adults think teenagers have a easy life, no problems, but the do. Some see things they're not supposed to see at their age and it traumotizes and scars them for life.

Even though this is not my favorite book of hers, I like it A LOT. That's why it's my second favorite book of hers. I really do recommend people to read this book because it is really great and I give it two thumbs up. It has many different moods, so if you like to feel like you're on a rollercoaster, then you will enjoy //That was Then, This is Now,// very mucho! :D

Sincerely, //Caroline Soto:)//

= =Article Summary=

"F.A.Q" is an article on frequently asked questions to a model maker named John Hunt. The people ask him simple questions like what he uses to make the models, how long it takes him, and how does he make them. He says longest you can take making a roller coaster model is about 3 months, but thats if you make it your own way. If you're just copying one it'll take about 2-3 weeks. John Hunt has been making roller coaster models since he was in middle school. This article is helpful because it tells me what type of materials I need and what I can do to make a great roller coaster model.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia,Utopia,'Palatino Linotype',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">After reading this article, I found the following to be interesting: 1.That I can make my own roller coaster models and sell them to anyone who likes them. 2.I can make any types of models steel or wood, both are the same. 3.I found out there aren't any schools that teach how to make roller coaster models. 4.I can purchase the materials in:<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Arts and craft shops, hobby shops, train and railroad hobby centers.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like this article because it is helpful and explainable. It tells me where I can get my supplies, how I can <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">get started on my model, and he (John Hunter) gives out helpful tips on how to make it easier. I like this article <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a lot because while he is answering and giving information on the side there are pictures of his work and some are <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">step by step pictures.

=<span style="font-size: 1.4em; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;"> Annotated Bibliography = Article #1 Hunt,John. "Frequently Asked Questions." In Rollercoastermodels.com May 4,2011

Summary: This website page is a interview of an experienced rollercoaster model maker. He explains how long it takes to make them, where he gets his supplies, and at what age he got interested in making them. Wich is something we have in common because I have loved rollercoasters since i was about 6/7?? This site is important to my paper because it helped me answer most of my questions and I can trust it because it always leaves dates when it is updated and he writes where he goes and what amusement park he built a rollercoaster for. So I think this is a really good website. It also helps me find the materials I need, he says where I can get them and he also says what I need. So I like this website and its really good.

Article #2 Hadley, Chris. "Design a Roller Coaster Model." In Wikihow.com May 23,2011

Summary: This website is an article on how to design a roller coaster model. It is a step by step process and it gives specific information to learn how to make your roller coaster model. It explains what type of materials you need and how much your you're gonna have to measure and it tells you how many things of certain things you're gonna need. For instance if you need wires its gonna tell you if you need 3-4 or 3-7? This site is really helpful but not for my article because it doesn't help me answer some of my questions but it really helps me how to build it.

Article #3 Holler, Casey. "How to build a Roller Coaster Model." In Ehow.com April 7,2011

Summary: This website is a step-by-step process that shows you how to build a roller coaster model. Casey teaches you how to build one, for instance she'll tell you how long you have to curve for or how to do your curves. She says to take your time to complete this. On the article, it gives you a list on what you need for the model. You need a base, drill, paint, track, toy cars/marbles, nails, screws, or glue. This article is helpful to me but not as much as the other ones are. The only thing it didn't help me with was my questions, but with everything else it is really helpful. I like it a lot because it explains how to make it, how much things you need, and how to get it started. I recommend it for others if they want to build a roller coaster model.

= =Learning how to build a Roller Coaster= //Caroline Soto// Roller Coasters have been around for many years and there are many different types of them. Roller Coasters are rides that start off on about 70 mph and end up going about 200 mph while the ride goes. The way they are made starts off from a Roller Coaster Model. Before they are even built they need a model to see where it'll fit and how it will look. You need a model because if not, you're not going to know what type of ride it is going to be.

We see Roller Coasters in a bunch of amusement parks or carnivals now a days, but we don't see the models. I am interested in making them because I love Roller Coaster and I want to make one on my own. I have always loved them since I was a little person, but I never knew how they were made or how people even thought of designing/making them. I think I'm gonna like this a lot because its crafty and I like to build things. I am most interested in designing my own Roller Coaster because I have seen so many different ones, I want to build a one-of-a-kind roller coaster. When I'm done I can show it to people and be proud of my artwork. =
