West City Park

Yesterday we went to west city park to build a boat that can float. We had to build a boat out of the stuff we found on the way down there. We were going to tie a lot of sticks together to build a raft. Then we were going to tie a bow on the top to hold the washers, but then we found a peace of bark and we used that. It did good in testing, but when we put it in the water and added washers it didn't last long. The boat help four small washers and two big washers. We lost that by a long shot. Then we went out and played football in the field behind us. Then we ate lunch and came back to school.

Obama

   Obama bothers me because he has Obama care with is a waist of money. Obama care is a waist of money because the inly way it works is if you don't. I think he has tried to make guns illegal at one time. He can't because it is in the constitution, so we have the right to carry guns. That is why no one likes Obama. The only reason he is still in office is because the vice president is stupid.

I went to the city Museum with the school it was pretty fun. I had Brendan, Max, Michael, Clayton, and Nick in my group. When we got there we went to the ten story slide. After we were done with that we went to another slide. We got lunch after that and I had the same thing as Michael did a BBQ pulled pork sandwich it was really good. Then we went and played hide and go seek tag in the caves. I found a really good hiding stop, so I never got it. Then we went to the room and got on the bus.

Kid Nation 6

       Kid Nation has a lot of Authority in the town. The new counsel members are not overpowering and are not just siting around like the old yellow team leader did. DK took charge and told everyone to stop messing around and stop. DK also had the idea That everyone should stop what they are doing and help fill up the water bucket. After he had that idea everyone in the town helped with the buckets and filled up the water tower together.

      There is also rationalization in the town. The example of this is the old yellow team counsel member thinks that she doesn't have to do any work. The new counsel members told her that she has to hall water to the tub for the punishment. Every body at the showdown had a opinion on what to get and they got the fruit. The red team counsel member had the thought that if he talks to DK that he can get him to stay.

       There is social exchange in the town. An example of this the snake lady thinks that she deserves the gold star because of her work. All she has been doing is cooking potatoes for her snake bar. She says that she has been cleaning toilets, doing lingerie, and doing dishes. That is all the social exchange in the town.  

Kid Nation 7

       There is deviance in the town. Taylor didn't work and just sat there. She thought that it was ok because she was a counsel and she didn't have to work. Then in the book said that they should have a a reelection for counsel members. So then When it came time to reelect she got voted out.

       There is also primary deviance in the town. There is an example of this is when Jarred flipped out because he couldn't sell snakes. He went over to the other snack bar because she told he couldn't sell snack because she is already doing it. He flipped the table over and messed everything up. After he did that he had time to think about it and he went up to the girl and told her that he was sorry.

        There is deviant in the town. The people that are deviant in the town like Taylor. Taylor doesn't work at all and just runs from it. Taylor is getting better over the past days because she is not counsel member. That is the examples of deviant in the town. 
  

Kid Nation 5

        There are many groups in Kid Nation. One of the groups are the teams like the yellow team. The red team is a good group that has no conflict. Then in the blue team they are combined of all the older kids. Then there is the green team is made up of all of the leaders and the middle kids.

         Then there are conflicts in the town. Take the yellow team as an example the leader in that team is saying  deal with it and she is being lazy. The conflict in the blue team is that the leader is waking everyone up and the girls are not liking it. Then there is a conflict in the red team is that one person is wanting to be the leader because he wants to step it up.

         There is social network in the town. Some of the people in the town are social network because of there religion. Some of the people in the town are catholic, Baptist, and Jewish. The town finally got the bibles for the town, so they can pray and go to church. That  is how the town has social network .
 

Kid Nation 4

         In Kid Nation they have obligation. An example of this is the jobs they have to do like cooks. The cooks are mint to cook the food, do the dishes, and serve the food. There are upper-class and they don't have to do anything. That is only a few reasons that Kid Nation has obligation.

         Everyone in Kid Nation has rights. The kids have rights like they have the right to work how ever they want. They have the right to win a gold star if they work hard enough. They also have the right to buy what they want when they want. Toughs are some examples of the right the people have in the town.

          The people in the town have their own role. The yellow teams leader doesn't work she sits and doesn't do anything. Then Greg is sometimes is mean but is a really hard worker. The blue teams leader is a hard worker. That is the roles in Kid Nation.
