What are the connections between morals and religion?

Morals are rules. Different religions have different morals. Every religion connects to morals. All religions model morals through tradition and stories.

Hinduism connects to morals because they believe that every living thing has a soul. That might influence and connect to morals because they would treat everything differently and their morals might build off kindess and respect. Christianity connects to morals through its stories. The stories all teach kindness. Buddhism follow the moral respect and kindness. Lots of religions believe on the circle of birth, life, death and then rebirth. If you follow the moral/rules of the religion then you would die and go to heaven and not be reborn.

Odysseus Summary

In chapter two Odysseus and his men reached an island. Him and his crew searched the island for food and supplies. They found a cave, which held a Cyclops. The men were trapped in the cave and needed to escape. They blinded the Cyclops and snuck out of the cave.

Myths

I preferred Daedalus and Icarus. I found it more interesting because Daedalus and Icarus got trapped in a maze that Daedalus had made. They had to hurry if they wanted to get out alive because they had a Minotaur chasing them. Both the stories had emotion and pain/rage. They also had bad but not good endings.

Creation Myth

The End Is Near

The piece that I am most proud of is my Ancient Egyptian Dairy. It took lots of effort and lots of research. I was a big challenge for me because my weakness is writing. We had to do 3 dairy entries each had to be over 1000 words. This was the one piece I did that I am most proud of.

Some of the greatest challenges I have completed is maps testing and tic tac toe. Map testing is where you do a big test of the computer it takes along time and you answer about 50 questions if you get one right it takes you to the next level. The tic tac toe is three things that you have to complete in three weeks but you are in a group of three. Example: for my tic tac toe I worked with radika and julian. We chose to do a power point, 2 dairy entries and a mobile. Those were the two main challenges in 6th grade for me.

This year I learned about my self I learned that I am the letter oo for my profile that means I should sit near the back on the left side and It means that I distract a lot of people when I am board so thats why I should sit near the back. I also learned that I like to work in groups and I always need something to do.

For my behavior I would say I am satisfactory for my participation I would say I would be satisfactory, for my organization I would say I could need improving and for effort I put in what the teachers expect.

One of my goals for 7 grade is to make a big effort to do more of what the teachers expect. I chose this goal because it is hard to achieve but not to hard. I also feel like I need to put more effort in.

My second goal is to be organized most of the year. It will help me with my work and time.

some of the advice I would give to the class of 2018 is if you have trouble with your locker. It would only be for 3 or 4 days. Also The teachers are not scary until you get to know them.

Letter to Mum and Dad

Dear Mum and Dad,

You are probably wondering why I ran away and where I am. I ran away because I didn't want to be capped. I found out that you don't have to be capped if you really don't want to. There is a way to be free, but it takes a lot of courage. You need to go to the White Mountains and there you will be not be capped, but I can not reveal the information on how to get to the White Mountains. I am very sorry, but I can't say where I am just in case this letter is discovered by the Tripods; they would kill me. Since you guys are capped you would not know this, but you had freedom before and it all got taken away when you were capped. I don't want that to happen to me. I miss you and try not to worry about me; I am safe and Henry is with me too.

I have learned a lot of things on my journey to wherever I am. I think I made the right decision. I am happy that I have made it and having freedom is great. I had a great adventure and I am proud of myself of having the guts to take a massive risk.

Yours sincerely,

Will
