Tolerance

The ability or willingness to allow the existence occurrence, or practice of something,  in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessary agree with.

"How can you be more tolerant of others?"
I think I can be more tolerance by changing my attitude and be nicer to everyone.  I have to start being nice to people to be more tolerant.  Not just nice to the people I want, but to everyone.  I think I can actually be more tolerant if I am careful with what i'm saying because at times I don't know what i'm saying.

"Scorpions"

In my book "Scorpions" the main characters name is "Jamal".  At school Jamal is having a hard time.  The teacher doesn't leave him alone, the kids don't leave him alone, and the principle gives him a hard time.  Jamal's mom is always yelling at him too.  The only person Jamal can count on is his best friend "Tito".   Jamal is in a gang called "Scorpions" and now they want Jamal to take over as the leader of the gang and sell cocaine.  Jamal dosnt want nothing to do with the gang, but he has no choice.  Jamal only does this to get the money for Randys appeal.  Jamal thinks that everything will go okay if he has Tito by his side.

A sign post I am going to use is Aha moment.  In the book "Scorpions" Jamal is always being asked questions by gang members.  In the story they ask him to sell crack and he says yes.  Then I tough and said "Aha" thats why they keep asking him questions.  They also kept saying to going the gang.

"Muhammad Ali"

Muhammad is a black muslim.  Muhammad Ali is not 73 years old.  Muhammad Ali is the best boxer of all time he beat Sonny Liston in the championship in the first round and the first minutes.   Muhammad Ali won the Olympics after that Muhammad Ali changed his religion from Christian to Muslim.  Muhammad Ali was diagnosed with "Parkinson" at the age of 42.  Muhammad Ali was hated after changing his religion.  He didn't want to fight in Vietnam because of his religion.  Muhammad Ali was suspended from fighting for 3 years.  Muhammad Ali refused to going the army and was taken to court because of that.  Muhammad Ali said "there is no point on killing people if theres not a reason"

Muhammad Ali is a up stander because he stood up for civil rights.  Some text evidence is "Muhammad got inspired by watching the march".  Muhammad Ali also stood up for his religion.  Muhammad Ali didn't want to fight in Vietnam because of his religion.  People started to hate him because he didn't want to fight in Vietnam.  He said " I don't hate no one.  I aint lynch no one"

Holes the end

As I left off in the book holes zero had ran away.  Stanley tried to take the water truck to him but failed.  Stanley had fell into a hole and couldn't  bring the water.  Stanley went off looking for zero and under a boat named"Mary Lu" was zero.  Zero had been living of peaches and onions.  Stanley was told that if he found a mountain shaped as a thumb he would find the treasure the :Warden was looking for.  Stanley not just found the treasure he had found water because they both where really thirsty.  In the whole the treasure was at they fell in it to take the treasure out, but they where surrounded by killer lizards.  when the "warden" and Stanley's lawyer got their they took zero and Stanley out of the hole.  The warden tried to take the treasure away from Stanley but Stanley's lawyer said no that it has Stanley's name on it so it belonged to him.  Whit the money Stanley helped zero find his mother.

Stanley is nice because he tried to take the whole water truck to zero while zero was really thirsty.  "I also tried to bring you the water truck but i fell in a whole." said Stanley.  Stanley is also nice because he helped zero learn his ABC's. everyone in the camp tough zero was "stupid" because he didn't talk to no one but Stanley.  Zero is also nice because he helped zero find his mom he was wishing to see.  "Whit half of the money Stanley helped zero find his mother."  Stanley is nice in a lot of ways to a lot of people.
