No Man is An Island


This picture shows that were all connected and we are all equal no matter gender,religion,nationality. We are all united as a group, and that we should respect one another and treat everyone with dignity. The text indicates that we should not abandon man on a island, and this picture shows the solution to that problem.



The similar themes from the text John Donne's writing to Greder's book on the Islands is that both the text and the book relate to isolation is the sens that the man was left on the island and the text shows that no man should ever be abandoned.Also I strongly believe that the meaning of No Man Is An Island is that no man should be abandoned like an island in the book it shows how the man is just sitting there naked suggesting that he was abandoned but as the people of the island were about to send him back on his raft the fisherman came and exclaimed "that we should except him into the island and not isolate him".



The text from the book provides Prejudice as when they first meet the man they jump to the opinion of sending him back on his raft straight away which is a negative point. Also when he is accepted into the village, the local people treat him like a slave fencing him inside a shed from the outside world relating to text of John Donne's saying that No Man should be an Island and be locked away in the dark where you cant be seen.


People make distinctions between us them because in my opinion they want to feel supreme, in the book it states that they said he was different from us indicating that he had no similarities between them,when clearly he was the same without education,food,shelter etc.. Us and them are just two words that people use to describe how much power they have over another being
that's is the only distinction that represents the two, Strongly I believe that everyone is equal in there own way.

Learning Profile =K

In class we had to find are learning profile, a learning profile helps undersatnd how you feel around class and how you need to overcome those problems.When I did my learning profile test I found out that I was a K compared to last time when I was a
L, it suprrised me when my learing profile had changed over the year.The K profile suggested that I sit on the left side of the room when we are veiwing something on the board and that I am under stress a lot of time,for instance quiz,test and hge assingmnts.It said to resolve these problems by relaxing taking deep breaths, draw figure 8's and keep calm when ever there is a quiz or test that comes up in any of my classes!

My Name

My Name Is Ramon Viegas

My Name Is Ramon Viegas
Im Ramon the mighty protector although I don’t think I protect in real life situations. I think Ramon is a great name but sometimes people like to call me Nomar my name backwards which I'm fine with. My name has a unique purpose in my family such as my dads name is Renzo his brothers name is Ryan and there Dads name is Raul but there is also another it is that my name begins with the letter R and my favorite color is red so I think that is also a unique quality to my name. Sometimes I get a little annoyed when people spell my name wrong like Ramond,Ramone or Ramoen. The word Ramon to me sounds like bright, fire and joyful, yet sometimes it brings sadness on days felling icy as if I was trapped in dark box waiting to come out.


When people say my name the often say it like raamon which I get from other people form a different country but sometimes I wish my name was easy to pronounce because I feel like I'm and outsider from all those other names out there. Ramon to me is kid of catchy name as my middle name is Renzo so its like Ramon Renzo Viegas.Ramon has another meaning to t decision make with I think represents me in a way as I make alt of descions going throught middle school. Hello my name is Ramon

My Special items

My Special items


1) This item is special to me because it was the day
my sister was in her art class, and her assignment
was to make any object out of clay and decided tomake this for me.I also like how she crafted shapes
such as a crescent, star and a heart shape which
showed that she spend a lot of time working on it to
make all those details.And the last importance to me
is that it was for my birthday,and gave it as a present to me.
2) My year book because it has all my cherished moments
in it also a way to reflect on my life, show
how I entered Middle School and what I did
as activities,how it all went, and it dose
represent its title The Time machine.Another, it
is my first yearbook in ISKL and I really enjoyed to collage of photos and how design
looked.

3) Is the miniature mod
el of a house boat, as it
reminds me of my trip to Kerala, and what it was
like to ride in house boat as every morning you would wake up you feel like the house is moving
which kind of frightens you at first but you will get use to it. And the last thing that makes me treasure this
item is that I picked something Farley close to what are boat look liked, so every time I look at it,I can picture the boat.

My Reflection of Grade 6

The work I chose is my ICGR project I chose this work because it showed how as group (Rosse and Jung Hun worked together for the assignments we chose to complete. Some my greatest challenges in sixth grade were taking hard tests, trying to understand some units and Malaysia Week! I learned that from the beginning of the year that I was timid but and year went by im was more confident of myself.


My behavior I wold say is satisfactory i'm mostly concentrate on the task and are very responsible sometimes get distracted but are mostly focused on task.

My Participation towards the class is very active I participate with very good attitude and are very active towards the activities.

My Organization would have to be satisfactory I am most of the time organized I always bring homework and important papers on time but sometimes tend to forget but I assure I am very Organized.

My Effort I would say is satisfactory I always put 100% into my work but occasionally I sort of don't but most of the time I put 100% into my work.


Goal 1 - For Seventh grade goal 1 is to be more alert of upcoming events such as quiz's and test so I can prepare for the upcoming event I usually am but I need to be a little more alert.

Goal 2 - For Seventh grade goal 2 is to be more creative with my ideas and think beyond on the excepted level.


Extra Information is that i'm responsible and creative I mostly put 100% and that i'm a willing to learn student.



The activity I wish we could of spent more time on is the ICGR unit as I enjoyed learning about India,China,Greece and Rome.


Class of 2018 don't worry there is nothing to worry about grade 6 is a pleasure to be in with fun activities for the first few months being more free as you guys mentioned i'm sure you will all have a great year and if there is any help on the first few days were here to help :)

My favorite book was



My favorite book was called School of fear. This book made me think of how these children get invited to this school and its basically a mental school. It also made me a little scared about what happens in the school and how its really scary and how the teachers react.


This book challenged me as reader as I came across new vocabulary and words that I did not know of. Also I did not get the plot to it at first but after reading a little more I understood how the plot went. And the last it challenged me in was learning a different styles of writing since it had some letters in it and how the style of the writing was different.

Don't read this book if you don't like the genre fear,scary,and al little comedy cause that is what this book is mainly all about. Also don't pick this book if you don't like different styles of writing and also vocabulary cause there are many of these in the book.

Lit circle post


I think it shows freedom by stating that "or turning a girl to a lady" I think that is a good way to actually express freedom because when your a lady your an adult, and being an adult means you are free to do things you want to that you could not do when you were a kid.

Also it mention's being a knight and being a knight gives you the chance to roam around the forest slaying monsters and also to discover hidden enemies hiding out in the forest so I think what the message was trying to convey was that when you or a knight or a Lady etc... you have the freedom to do anything you want.
