Blackfish- movie review

       The movie I will be talking about is called Blackfish. It is about whales at Sea World that were being aggressive to their trainers. It showed how poorly the whales at Sea World were being treated and why they might be becoming aggressive. There was one specific whale called Tilikum who killed multiple people. He was captured from his mom when he was only two years old. He was kept in a small cement cage for 25 years. He killed one of Sea Worlds best trainers in the time he was there. Him and other whales at Sea World were known for being aggressive to their trainers. At one point, Sea World sent four baby orcas to another place like Sea World in Puerto Rico. There was another killing there from Sea World’s orcas. It is proven that Orcas have never done any harm to a human when they were free in the ocean. Once they were in the prison of Sea World, they became angry and that is why they become aggressive. 

Fiction vs. Non-Fiction

       The main difference between fiction and nonfiction is that fiction is unreal and cannot happen and nonfiction did happen. Fiction books have made up stuff like unicorns, dragons, and talking animals. It also usually includes some sort of magic in it. But, there is also realistic fiction. This fiction has not happened, but could happen. It is different than nonfiction because it didn’t actually happen. Nonfiction books though, have happened. They tells actual facts about what really happened in history. I personally like fiction books better. I like the suspense of what will happen next, since anything is possible in fiction books. But, in nonfiction books, it is pretty much predictable what will happen next. But, I like all kinds of books and I love reading. Don’t you too?

Winter Break

       On Winter Break, I went to Michigan from December 26th to the 31st. I did plan to read every night even when I was in Michigan but, in Michigan I was too busy relaxing and spending time with family. But, I did read almost every night when I was at home. I had been reading the series, The Sisters Grimm since the the beginning of last year and I finished during winter break. I don’t know if this is considered educational or productive but, I also played about 5 rounds of Monopoly with my family, which is kind of a math game. I can’t think of anything else I did that was productive during winter break, but I did enjoy myself and have fun, I hope you did too.

New Years Resolutions

      Here are some of my 2018 New Year’s Resoultions:

• Be kinder to my brother 
• Help with more chores at home
• Try to learn how to speak Spanish
• Memorize my multiplication facts above eleven
• Start up playing guitar regularly again

I think it is important to have goals for the new year so you can try to continue becoming a better and better person. Your goals can also help you have a better life. For example, if I do become kinder to my brother, my life can be peaceful, without all of our fights. It is also good for people to learn new things. That’s why I chose “try to learn Spanish” and “Memorize my multiplication facts above eleven” to try to become smarter in the new year. You should make New Years resolutions, too. Even though I am sure you have already.
