This Summer

           I think this coming summer is going to be amazing. For my vacation me and my family are going to Florida for a week. We are going to rent a house by the beach and play at the beach everyday. The house that we are renting is a very big house with a really big pool. I thing Florida will be awesome. I am also getting a new bike for the summer so I can race. This bike is a $500 road bike that my dad and his friend will help build. I am also going to a church camp over the summer for one week. This camp has a big lake we can swim in and is about 200 acres of land. There will be a mountain that we will climb very early in the morning to go and watch the sunset. This camp is the best camp ever.

Something That Bugs Me

picture here

          Something that really bugs me is whenever I cant have any free time. My family is really busy so we are always doing stuff. I hardly get time to do what I want to do at home. Yesterday I had only 20 minutes to do what I wanted because I had to help my mom around the house. Whenever I have soccer practice I always get home at a late time so I have barley any time to do anything. My brother also plays a lot of sports so we are always at his game and practices after school. When we are driving there I do get a little bit of time to listen to music on my phone and play a little bit of my games.

Nascar Race

         I was finally able to go to my first nascar race on Saturday. My family drove 4 hours up to Kansas City just to watch it. The race was really loud and we had to wear ear plugs. The race lasted 5 hours long with 220 laps in it. Jeff Gordon who is my favorite racer won the whole race and I was super excited. We didn't get back home until 4:00 A.M. Sunday morning because it was a night race. For it being my first nascar race it was a great experience for me.

          The whole town has their own group like there color groups. Every color is a group of their own and is a very big group. The green group had a session to see who would vote to take over the leader of their group. Every group got together to see who would try and overthrow the group leaders. Everyone is working as a group to win the challenge of the week to find there place.

          A lot of the kids are using out-group because of what they are doing with all of the other groups. Some of  the kids are trying to overflow there leaders. One of the kids were saying that you're going down and I'm going to win. They were not really nice to the other people and groups by destroying their posters. They are mad at each other if they lose and don't want to talk to anyone. Some are saying that they are better than another group member.

           People in the town are using a lot of negative deviant. They are not listening to the council leader. A person destroyed posters from another person because they were mad. Some people have gotten punishments from using negative deviant like more work than they have to do. When this happened they did not listen and everybody was really mad at them.

          These kids are using deviant a lot in their town. A kid was tearing a part a girls table while she was selling food for other people. Just because she got them from the cafeteria and they were free he didn't need to destroy everything. Some of the kids are slacking off and not doing their job because they don't want to. Even though everyone else is doing something they are not doing anything.

           The kids are using a lot of deviant but they are also showing a lot of deviance. Most of the kids are doing their jobs as well as doing them good. Some people are helping others even though they don't have to. Sometimes they are not the nicest to each other but they can always make up and be nice to each other. They can respect each other and build a great town.

            A lot of the kids are using stigma. They are telling girls that they are really lazy and they don't do much for their teams. They just sit around and do nothing or complain if they do have to do something. They also give people the trait of boring because they are always working. They aren't always happy and making people exited. This is show within a lot of people in the town.

           The council members used rationalization when they read the book in the church. They where reasoning on what they want to do with all the trash. They also were planning on who was going to work for them and move all of the trash. After the challenge for the week The council decided on the jobs the people will do. They all had to join together and take out trash with everybody else.

            A lot of the kids are using conformity in the town. The new council is trying to be more of a leader and run this town with everybody. He tries everything to do his best and fit in with everyone on the council. There is also a girl who is trying to work harder and she was helping the other group members bury trash. From this she earned respect from all of the kids helping to.

            Some of the town is showing a lot of cooperation. Some of the group got together and cleaned the trash up in the town and buried it away from the town. They achieved their goal and helped the whole town with the smell. Some of the kids got together and cleaned the dishes even though it was not their job. They cooperated and helped everyone so they have clean dishes.

          Every kid has showed status set like one of the green girl showed toward her friend. Because all of the kids were fighting over what religion is the best, they showed status set. Even though all the kids believed in different stuff they used status set because they were all friends. There is also two kids in banaza who are close sisters that show status set.

           All of the kids have a role in banaza because they all have their own jobs. Every kid has to do different jobs within there job like cooking or doing the dishes. They were put in this city and every kid has played a role in this. Even the council have their role by leading their team through these 40 days.


            Through this episode I also saw social interaction. One of the girls brought out a lot of people around a fire to pray. Two people were walking around looking at the cows and bulls. Because the teams all hang out in their bunks, they show social interaction. Whenever the kids eat they all are showing social interaction because they are socializing in a group.
