Leprechaun Review

                              The plot revolves around a very angry Leprechaun whose looking for his gold. He escapes his prison kept at a bay by a menacing four leaf clover and begins to terrorize the family that just moved in. He is weak because he has been locked away for so long and the only way he can build strength  is to bite people. And the only way to kill him is to put a four leaf clover on him.
                              The Leprechaun was trapped in a crate for 10 years until Ozzie takes the four leaf clover off of it, not knowing that the leprechaun was in it. After Ozzie removed the four leaf clover, the Leprechaun came out of the crate, scaring Ozzie. Ozzie told the family but they didn't believe him because he has the mind of a child, mentally slow.
                              After a while, the family finds a way to distract the little leprechaun, with shoes. He cant resist polishing shoes. So the family throws about 50 shoes outside in the yard and he polishes all of them. So the family got away, while he was polishing the shoes, to find O'Grady to ask him how to kill the leprechaun. He tells them the only way to kill the leprechaun is with a four leaf clover. Back to the house they go, searching for a four leaf clover.
                              While the family searches for a four leaf clover, the kid sets up a bear trap in the barn to catch the leprechaun. But that plan didn't work out. So the kid grabs a four leaf clover, bunches it up with a piece of gum and slingshots it into the leprechauns mouth. The leprechaun then falls into a well.
                               In my opinion, the movie is kind of cheesy. The family is scared of a 2 foot tall leprechaun. They had millions of chances to catch him and kill him but instead they ran. Some of the scenes are REALLY cheesy. The leprechaun kills a man by jumping on him with a pogo stick. The man could've easily pushed him off or something. If you want to watch a cheesy, funny movie then you should watch Leprechaun. But if not, then stay away.

Ebola

                            Ebola is the largest outbreak ever and can easily spread from person to person. People who are most at risk are those in close physical contact with an infected person. The first Ebola case was reported on September 30 2014. The patient died 8 days later. Currently, Ebola is the most widespread and intense disease in West Africa. It is caused by an RNA virus.


                            The emerging health threat is the result of a RNA virus that infects wild animals like fruit bats, monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees as well as people. Contact with an infected animals blood or body fluids is probably the original source of the infectious disease. There is no known Ebola transmission through coughing or sneezing, like with influenza or tuberculosis.


                           Early symptoms of Ebola are fever, headaches, body aches, cough, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Its difficult to diagnose Ebola because the symptoms could be for other diseases too. It takes anywhere from 2 to 21 days to diagnose Ebola. Most people who are infected with Ebola will develop early symptoms eight to nine days after exposure to the virus. Specific tests for antibodies against Ebola and viral DNA help doctors make a conclusive diagnosis.


                         Later symptoms of Ebola can appear quickly, within a few days after onset of early symptoms. Due to internal and external bleeding, the patients eye may become red, and they may vomit blood, have bloody diarrhea, and suffer cardiovascular collapse and death. The only treatment doctors can provide is supportive care. Its where they give the patient fluids and oxygen to keep their blood pressure steady.


                       You are not at risk for Ebola infection unless you are in direct contact with bodily fluids of someone with Ebola while they have viral symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and cough.  New infections come from close contact with an infected person, especially with blood, body fluids, or contaminated needles, late in the disease when viral levels are high.

Why I hate school

             The most thing I hate about school is waking up so early. I hate being around a lot of people. And I hate having so much homework. i hate the gym. But the part i hate most of gym is changing out. I hate the school food and the dirty bathrooms. I hate how it takes 24 credits to graduate. And i hate when teachers tell me what to do and blame me for something i didn't do. And that's about it.
