Assasination Classroom

In classroom E-3 of Kunugigaoka Academy, an assassination is about to take place. Yes, today was they day they would succeed in killing their unkillable target…or so they thought, as the octopus evaded every single one of their attacks yet again. Assassination Classroom is a brilliant anime that illustrates a peculiar bond between student and Sensei (teacher) that can only be found here. Korosensei (unkillable teacher) is the target of this assassination classroom, with a 10,000,000,000 yen reward on his head (898,000,000 US dollars). For some unknown reason this unkillable super being who is going to destroy the earth on March 13 and whose speed tops out at Mach 20 has his heart set on teaching the E class. On the condition that none of the students will be harmed, Korosensei is allowed to teach the worst students at Kunugigaoka Academy. As Kunudon later explains, the E class is the…

Avengers Infinity War: Trailer Analysis

The Avengers: Infinity War trailer dropped in late November and was number 1 on the trending list for virtually every video and media site. It was one of the most popular movie trailers ever and I will analyze it and see what I can get out of it. Warning! If you did not watch the trailer there is a link below. Also if anything I say maybe correct, then here is a possible SPOILER ALERT! In the beginning of the trailer, we see a red, cloudy planet, I presume this Xandar, after Thanos visits the planet to retrieve the Power Stone inside the Orb. I believe this is what the planet looks like after Thanos gets the stone and destroys the planet using it. Next, we see Tony Stark, “AKA” Iron Man, holding someone’s lifeless hand. I think the hand is either Captain America, or, Nick Fury, we do have…

Stranger Things: Season 2, Episode 2

Episode two, Trick or Treat Freak, follows four storylines, Eleven’s time in the forest and subsequent meeting with Hopper, Hoppers investigation of the poisoned farms and time with Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Max’s activities during Halloween, and the turmoil between Steve and Nancy over Barbara’s death which reaches its climax during a Halloween Party. It is one of the defining episodes of the series as it introduces some of the important season conflicts. Trick or Treat Freak was one of my favorite episodes in this season and certainly one that has best kept in my thoughts afterwards. It sets up many of the major plot points in the season as well many of the most intriguing character relationships. I think it can certainly be considered an iconic episode of stranger things that perfectly follows up upon the previous episode MADMAX and leads into the following episode The Pollywog….

FCS leads schools in the area in our Thanksgiving pie sales. We are already up to 106 pies sold with a goal of 169.” In an interview with Dr. Scapik she said: “We have…

Where are the Infinity Stones?

The Sixth Grade Derivative Project

For the last couple weeks, the sixth grade has been working on the biggest project of the sixth grade year. We had been given a word in Latin ( example Sonus – Sound) to study, and find words that derive from it, in different languages. For 3 days we worked on finding the derivatives of the Latin word we were given. After that, we started to map out the project idea for the biggest part of the project. A few days after that, we had to share our ideas with our classmates and they had to give feedback. Than the building process began, we got our materials and started building.
