In economics we have been learning about free enterprises, consumers and producers.  A Free enterprise is a type of economy where products, prices, and services are determined by the market, not the government. Consumers are people who purchase goods and services for their personal use and producers are people, countries or companies that make, grow or supply goods for sale. I like learning about all of these things because one day i would like to pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur and hopefully owning my own business. Another class i would like to talk about is gym. At first gym class was getting on my nerves with all those projects and test, i still did them though.  Now he let's us play basketball or catch up on other classes. Every time we play it's nothing but fun and competitive games. I have  a class full of very competitive people and the games are always close. I also have a good relationship with the P.E teacher  Mr. G and a good relationship with Ms.P.

Self Selected Response

My SSR is on the movie "I am legend". I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film   starring Will Smith. It is based of the 1954 novel of the same name, following 1964's "The Last Man on Earth" and 1971's "The Omega Man." Smith plays Scientist Robert Neville, who is immune to a man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a   remedy while defending himself against mutants created by the virus. This movie has been one of my favorite movies ever since it came out. Every single time i watch this movie, it always seems to catch my attention. I could honestly watch this over and over again.  This is one of my favorite movies because not only does it have alot of eye catching action but  Will Smith delivers a good role and really focuses on giving us a picture of "what it would be like"  to be the last man on earth, living off the land in NYC. This is the real strength of this movie; there's really not a lot of blood or gore or zombie scenes at all. Yet I was fascinated as Robert goes through his "typical days" in NYC. Every moment was full of jeopardy. And occasionally we got some relief from Smith's trademark humor that blended seamlessly with the rest of his performance to give us "what it would be like" with a powerful delivery that just takes our breath.
