DO VIDEO GAMES NEED VIOLENCE TO BE POPULAR?

          I heard there is many talk going around about if video games need to have violence in them to be successful but in my and others perspectives no, no they don't. This is to inform you all reading this post why video games don't need to be violent in order to be successful.

With research I found the top 10 most popular games ever they were: Mario bros, need for speed, halo, counter strike, pac-man, street fighter, god of war, GTA (grand theft auto), resident evil, moto GP. Out of all the top ten half of them are non- violent and the other half are violent. most of these are old but now with new technology we have the power to make less bad games and more play/ joyful.

A few of the games that have sold over 50 million are:

1. Pokemon................240 mill         11. winning eleven............69 mill
2. Tetris......................215 mill         12. gran turismo.............. 61.41 mill
3. the Sims..................125 mill         13. the legend of Zelda.....59 mill
4. WII sports..............102 mill         14. ape escape.................58.9 mill
5. FIFA......................100 mill         15. dragon quest...............57 mill
6. need for speed........100 mill         16. Tom Clancy................55 mill
7. GTA ......................100 mill         17. call of duty..................55 mill
8. final fantasy..............97 mill          18. bejeweled...................50 mill
9. madden NFI............85 mill           19. crash bandicoot..........50 mill
10. sonic the hedgehog...80 mill           20. nickelodeon...............50 mill

out of all these video games there are 12 that are not violent  and the rest sorta have violent. Most of the non violent games are near the top of the list witch mean this hole list shows you that games that are not violent can still be a hit in there day and now.

In my opinion I believe that the parents are the ones who make violent games popular and make the makers want to make more violent video games. Since the parents keep buying the violent games for there kids then the makers will make more and there for the game will become popular. I'm not trying to offend all you adults out there but i think if you said "no" to your kids once in a while the violent game will be no more.

Therefor games do NOT need violents in them to become popular.So now you have read this post what do you think about games needing violents in them to become popular. You make the future you decide.

Title: the breadwinner
Author: Deborah Ellis
Genre: realistic fiction

Over the past few weeks me and are literature circle. This book is about a girl named parvana, her two sisters, her brother, her mom and dad. Since her parents were very educated the afganistans took her father to jail. Now that her dad is in jail, no girls can shop for anything and her brother is to young to go out parvana is forced to cut her hair and percent to be A boy to keep her family alive. She also has to go to work. Now she realized that her older sister is going to get married altho she has less people to feed it is still very hard because of her growing up.

I think that her dad will come back from jail and that the girl will 'grow up' and that she will have to stop going out for a few weeksin but befor that she will buy lots of food than when things seem bad her dad will come back.

I dont have any questions and or connections but I do have my likes. I like how it is something you wouldn't actually read for school but since it was reccomended it is really good and I can't stop reading it because it is not something Luke an everyday type of hint it is different and different is good.

I would recommend this this book to anyone and I serious mean anyone this is the type of book you never want to stop reading and never want to let go.

Title: The Dreamseller
Author: Augusto Cury
Genre: Novel

The book I'm reading right now is called "The Dreamseller." it is about this a man who is wanting to comet suicide at a top of a buling that is nown for many people to comit suicide called "The San Pablo Buliding." anyways the police called a man to help this man convice him into not comiting suicide. So while they are up there they are just talking while a big crowd watches them from below, as they talk the man pulls out a sandwitch and decieds to share it. The crowd at the bottom has no clue what is happening but the two men at the top of the building keep talking. Once the talk is over the ma decided not to comit suicide and once the two reach the front of the building the so called "dremseller" (man who helped man not comit suicde) started to dance then everyyody joind in and had a sidewalk party for him not to comit suicide.

My dad told me about this book and stuff that would happen in the book but some of my predictions that my dad did not tell me are:

• once the dreamseller is poor he will realize his true meaning in life
• the dreamseller will be more kind harted to others
• will hep people not to comit suicide for free no pay

A few questions that go through my mind while i read this book is:

• why did he pull out a sandwitch? is it one of his meatods
• dose he like being a dreamseller
• what would it be like in the dreamsellers shoes
• was he a dreamseller at first or did he just ramdomly become a dreamseller

I like this book so far because it is challenging to understand and because it tells me about somthing that happens every day but never notice and never really care untill now. The only this i dont like about this book is that it is kinda confussing about what is really happening right now.

I would recommend this book to people who are looking for challenging books to read, book that make you think and to people who thought my summary at the top sounded pretty good and intersting.

EARTH HOUR/DAY YAY!!!!!!!!!

I think that earth hour is really good for the environment because of all the people who participate in this earth saving day. One thing me and my friends (Julia and Dana)are going to do for earth hour/day is going on Young st and holding a sign that says "honk to support japan" and each honk we get we are going to donate 5 cents to an organization. Even thought its not like turning off all electricity in are homes but it is apart of saving the earth because japan is apart of the earth.Two things i don't like about earth hour is that not everyone joins in to help the earth and we only do earth hour once a year for only and hour why not once a month for two hours (well that's just me). Another thing me and my friends are going to do is not this weekend but another weekend we are going to make and sell cookies that look like the earth to help earth day and also go to the park with garbage bags and picking up all the junk people throw on the ground. Well enough of me talking about earth hour/day now lets hear what your going to do and what are your thoughts are about of earth hour/day.
