Mayan Simulation Reflection

This year we did a Maya Simulation. The simulation was for we to learn about the Mayas and to experienced the way they lived and traded.I thought that this simulation was really fun and exciting. It was very interesting to learn about the Ancient Maya and their ways. The simulation was a very creative idea and I enjoyed it. On the first day  it was a bit though because we had to fill out the royal census,royal inventory,math tasks and many other things. It was a bit confusing but by day 3 I had already understood it and it was simple. I thought that the sacrifice was really fun and I liked how the God Chac was in charge of things. All in All I thought that this simulation was a very fun and exciting thing to do.

Bud not Buddy Questions

This metaphor that Bud says about Herman being his father grew up like a seed but got bigger and BIGGER!  This means that an slight thought in your head can become bigger when you start believing in it. For example Bud used this slight thought to decent himself then it became bigger.

Bud Buddy Question

I think that the people in Hooverville are good to trust. I think Bud thinks the same thing because he lets the lady take his suitcase. the man was also very friendly with them and offered them food. the people might be homeless and starving but they are kind and offered food to Bugs and Bud.

Bud not Buddy question

Racism does not really happen but their are some poor broke white people who are taking shelter at Hooverville. They refuse to eat the things the black people give them they also refuse clothing. The white people think that they are to good for the blacks. They eat dandelions.

Bud not Buddy questions

I think that Bud has a hard time getting through the Depression because it was hard times and his mother died at the beginning of the Depression. He is in the hard times at the home and many kids are joining. He is like the other kids in the depression because many are homeless so is Bud

Bud not Buddy post.

A phrase that Bud repeats throughout the book is, "here we go again" this means that a person has done that thing many times and is used to it. The author choose to repeat this phrase because his life, is a constant moving around and moving into other foster homes. For an example Bud says "here we go again" when he is line waiting for breakfast in the home, like he does each morning.
