Write a diary Of Jem in To kill a mockingbird

Dear dairy, I couldn't take in what had happened this today. I couldn't believe a thing. Before this incident had happened, if anyone had even mentioned that Atticus is "one shot Finch", i would have laughed till i broke down into convulsions. Today, when Atticus was still in his office, scout and i had noticed a mad dog, named Tim Robinson, coming down the road. We immediately informed Calpurnia to call up the authorities, but much to my surprise, she called Atticus. My first impression was, what's the use of Atticus in this situation. It is impossible that he had the skill or even courage to kill a mad dog without getting harmed. Soon, the sheriff and Atticus arrived. I was still half-sniggering and half-worried if Atticus would be bitten by the mad dog. I heaved a sign of relief when the sheriff took out his gun. Atticus would be a by-stander only. However, the next thing the sheriff did send dumbfounded me. He handed the gun to Atticus! What could Atticus do with a gun? I had never seen him using a gun before in my life, unlike other fathers who went out to hunt. But what could Atticus do with a gun? I was momentarily shocked. At that moment, i wondered if Atticus would waste all the ammunition and still would not even hurt the mad dog and be a laughing stock on he street. I waited with bated breath when Atticus lifted the gun and aim. He lifted his spectacles up as it is a hindrance to him but it kept sliding down. He threw it on the ground and fired. All eyes was on Tim Robinson as he led a a bark followed by a gasp. Then, he drooped down on the ground on agony and the event is over. I couldn't absorb what had happened and neither could scout.. She had her eyes bulging, her jaw laying down. We soon regained our composure and questioned Atticus. However, the sheriff, more surprised then us, asked us if Atticus have not tell us that he was the "well known one shot Finch". Afterwards, we spoke to Ms Maudie and she wasn't surprised a bit. In retrospect, i felt that Atticus is the best father. Shooting is one of his strength and he didn't even boast about it. Also, the sheriff handing the gun and the responsibility of maintaining the safety of the village. I take back all my words of calling him "useless". Regards, Jem

Multiple Intelligence test

Multiple Intelligence test, though not really accurate, is still one of the best way to find out what are your strength and weakness in the shortest time possible. There are mainly five areas mainly, Interpersonal, Verbal-linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Intrapersonal, and Musical. Interpersonal This area has to do with interaction with others. In theory, people who have a high interpersonal intelligence communicate effectively and mix easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. Verbal-linguistic This area has to do with words, spoken or written. People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure. Logical-mathematical This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning, and numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities, a more accurate definition places emphasis on traditional mathematical ability and more reasoning capabilities, abstract patterns of recognition, scientific thinking and investigation, and the ability to perform complex calculations. It correlates strongly with traditional concepts of "intelligence" or IQ. Intrapersonal This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. They are skillful at deciphering their own feelings and motivations. This refers to having a deep understanding of the self; what are your strengths/ weaknesses, what makes you unique, can you predict your own reactions/ emotions. Musical This area has to do with rhythm, music, and hearing. Those who have a high level of musical-rhythmic intelligence display greater sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music. They normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. I had just took a test at http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lang.cfm My main strength intrapersonal and my main weakness is interpersonal. This tends to be quite accurate as i like to do things by myself and even live alone.(a loner?) i dislike communicating and tried not to speak unless necessary. Furthermore, i like to make friends with quiet people, as it meant that i need not speak a lot. My mother had urged or even forced me to speak but it seemed that her efforts came to a naught as i continued to be conserved and reserved and kept to myself. My next strength is logical. I tends to be fascinated with numbers sine i am young and loves finding patterns in a logical sequence. It is really fun as the enjoyment ad satisfaction of finding the pattern makes me happy for the whole day.

C,C++,C#

C and its varients is a very convenient and addictive language. History of C The initial development of C occurred at AT&T Bell Labs between 1969 and 1973; according to Ritchie, the most creative period occurred in 1972. It was named "C" because many of its features were derived from an earlier language called "B", which according to Ken Thompson was a stripped-down version of the BCPL programming language. History of C++ It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C programming language and originally named "C with Classes". It was renamed C++ in 1983.As one of the most popular programming languages ever created,[3][4] C++ is widely used in the software industry.C++ continues to be used and is one of the preferred programming languages to develop professional applications. The popularity of the language continues to grow C#(pronounced c sharp) In June 2000, Microsoft announced both the .NET platform and a new programming language called C#. C# is a strongly-typed object-oriented language designed to give the optimum blend of simplicity, expressiveness, and performance. C# and .NET are a little symbiotic: some features of C# are there to work well with .NET, and some features. Learning of C++ I had been leaning C++ since i entered Secondary school and i find C and its variance is a very convenient and addictive language. The commands are really short and simple, and i simply loved the computer lessons every week. It was fun and enjoyable, and the satisfaction of coding a programme is beyond describing. I had dreamed of being able to write a programme that is able in reduced my workload in calculating. It may be a basic, but at least i am going forward in the virtual world of programming. I hope that i am able to master the highest levels of programming.
