Repartee

What is repartee?  Quick, witty conversation

An example....
Theresa: We can be men!
Lauren: Yeah! (with voice crack)
Melissa:  Wow!  We are so G we're H!
Theresa: Hey!  Did you hear about that guy who got his whole left side cut off?
Melissa, Lauren, and Chloe: No...
Theresa: He's all right now! bahahahahhahaha
Melissa:  Hey Lauren, remember when we went sailing during camp?
Lauren: Yeah!  That was so fun!
Chloe: ehhh, sailing isn't a sport that floats my boat...
Lauren and Theresa: Does it fly your plane?
Melissa: How was you're tennis match Chloe and Lauren?
Chloe: Well, in tennis love is nothing; but in life, love is everything!
Lauren: We lost....
Chloe: You know sleeping comes so naturally to me...
Theresa: Me too, I could almost do it in my sleep


There you have it!  Some of this actually happened, such as the tennis and gangster part.  Wow... what a group.  If only we had our own tv show!  We could be famous; just like that new weed whacker that is cutting- hedge technology.  If I had a drum set I would definitely hit the "joke theme song" but unfortunately the only drums I own belong to the wii!  Thanks Theresa for all the "puns" as you call them!

Nobel Peace Prize

A few questions:

1. Have you ever heard of the Nobel Peace Prize?
2. Do you know the name of anyone who has won the Nobel Peace Prize?
3. Have you won the Nobel Peace Prize?

Now think about all of the things those people have done who won it... have you thought yet?  I did!  This is what I came up with:

What issue caused this person to take action? the "shortcomings" of nuclear power

Was the issue local or global? Explain. global... many countries use nuclear power for weapons(the US is one of those many)

How did the person take action? gave speeches, spoke to many different environmentalist groups

What media channels did he/ she use to take action?  How did he or she use each? some speeches were on television so some families could see it

Answers to my questions:  main question was what was his job before well, it was: working at Permanent Missions of Egypt and was in charge of political, legal, and arms- control issues

One day, in 2070 or possibly later when we are living on the moon, you will be looking at your ipad 17th addition and notice that back in the old days we gave out awards for trying to make the world amazing!  Wow, 2070 will be cool if the world doesn't end before then like it was supposed to a few weeks ago.
