Journal Week 3

I went on an ambulance call as a medic and found a man that shot himself in the head. There was dried blood all over the roof of the truck he was in. It looked like someone cut his face off and took all the bones out. It was making me sick thinking that someone could do this to themself. I never wanted to go on an ambulance call like this again. I also went on a basement fire call and as i was in there i got lost. I thought i was going to run out of oxygen. Just as I thought I was going to die in the fire, my fellow firefighters came in and found me to make my way out safely.

I chose this Because it is all about juvenile crime and this whole book is about a place in texas that houses these children. In this facility children must tell their crime stories and life stories. in this website it states that most go unreported, and when the children tell their stories the psychollogists have to say that if it is bad they have to report it to their home town. It also states the kind of crime and this book outlines that as well/.

this is a website that talks about fending of an assalent.. if someone would have known this some of the people these kids murdered or hurt would have been able to fight back..

journal writer

ive been covicted for gang violence and am now in the capitol offenders group. i guess you can say this all started when i was a little kid i always grew up around violence. when i was 5 i woke up to my aunt screaming, when i came into the kitchen i seen my uncle standing over her after hitting her a few times saying ill do what i want this is my ****ing house. when he would leave in the morning he would chain me to a table and wouldnt let me go untill he got home in the late afternoon.

Text to Self:

In the book when Zac is moved to Station 1, he has to go through a complete change in scenery and the way people act around and to him. I know how this feels because i have been to 4 different schools. Each time i changed it was a completely different experience. All your familiar surroundings are gone and your surrounded by new faces. It definitely makes you feel out of place.

Text to world:This book takes about call the different emergency calls Zac goes on. This relates to the real world around us because everyday people with no real emergency call 911. The calls arew offten nothing that the fire dept. should have to bother with. Sometimes people just call to get taken to the hospital or just to get taken somewheres. They take advantage of the system.

Text to Self:When Zac is taking about peoples blood making him squeamish it reminded me of when i got hit in the head with a golf club. Seeing others peoples blood doesn't bother me, but if i see a lot of my own it makes me me feel weird. I got hit the forehead with a golf club in 2nd grade. My friend had brought it in for sports show and tell day. I was fine until i realized that i had blood running down my forehead. The instant I knew that i got all light headed and dizzy, just like Zac does in the book.
