Dear Mr.Nickell:
As a freshman at Las Animas High School only being in high school for about three months I have noticed some places in the school that need to be changed. Although, im
only going to mention one. I think we should have air conditioning in the gymnasium because more people will come to the games and actually stay for the boy’s basketball games and not just leave when the girls are finished. Also people will be a lot more relaxed. And more players would be able to play better if it’s cool in the gym. The gym would even have a better smell and wouldn’t be as humid as it usually is. And in the summer kids can’t practice because it’s so hot in the gym so therefore we could have more summer practices. If we had air conditioning we could actually shut the gym doors during gym class so it won’t disrupt the other classes, and it wouldn’t be much of a problem because it would be nice in the gym.
Some of the bad things about getting air conditioning are that it would cost a lot of money and cold air can injure kids because their body needs to be warm so that they are loose and ready to play whatever sport it is. Also when would this happen we don’t know when it would happen or if it even will. And last some people would maybe disagree with getting air in the gym because they may want it somewhere else. I do have Mr. Armstrong 4th hour and i have an email address acelynnratzlaff@yahoo.com if you need to contact me. Thank you for your time and being able to read my suggestions.
Sincerely yours,
Acelynn Ratzlaff

The Birds=)
The Birds
Here is a movie you will never forget. A typical blonde acts in a horror film, “The Birds”. In this film Alfred Hitchcock has an adventure of being able to show the birds graphically as they evilly sit there and wait to attack and kill any human they choose. However the birds sit outside and gather, waiting to attack the people. Without the people knowing.
It all began when Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) is very interested in Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hendrer) and they get to know each other a little better and she is begins to be very interested in him as well because of his attitude and how much of a gentleman he is. And she even went through all the work of finding him love birds and taking them to him when it’s a two hour drive from her house to his. Bodega Bay is what the town is called a very small cozy town. After secretly delivering the birds it became a love scene that failed because of the seagull that flew into Melanie’s head and made her bleed. But Mitch’s mom comes and almost ruins the relationship but fails because Mitch keeps asking Melanie to stay and finally asks her to go to his sister Cathy’s birthday party. Also that failed all the kids were outside running around playing games and all the birds swooped down and started pecking at all the children and one of the birds drug a girl away until one of the grownups had to protect her. At this time the kids had no idea of what was going on until they got into the house.
The director had great pictures as for it being an older movie with special effects. Although if it was in a award winning category with one of today’s movies. One of today’s movies would make ‘The Birds” look horrible. Every time I see one of the birds it makes me get the Goosebumps even hearing them chirp. At one point in this movie all of the family and Melanie are sitting in the house waiting for something to happen. The loud sound of a bird that hit the door. I’m sure your stomach twisted there as when you didn’t know that was coming!
I would give this movie a two and a half star rating out of a five star because there were some good and bad parts in the movie. Although I much rather you watch the movie than to read the book because the book you can’t get into as much as the movie maybe because you can see the birds and hear all the noises they make and actually see the characters. But that’s just my opinion on this. It also depends on what type of movies you prefer if you like drama love and horror this is the movie for you but if you like something else such as blood and guts then this is most definitely not the movie for you .
