what’s up my good people??? 🙂
so the first week is in the books – which means it’s now time to bring out the journals…
“creamy and crunchy” – this was the book that i think i mentioned in just about every class – the book about peanut butter – loads of fascinating trivia – like george washington carver did NOT invent peanut butter – he is often said to have – one interesting trend was the amount of illnesses due to PB in recent times – whether due to gov’t oversight or just businesses being stupid – it’s amazing that people can die from such a delictable treat – anyway, i don’t think it was a major point of the book, but i did buy two jars of PB on saturday:)
“all the things i’ve done” – a high school BOB – i could camp out forever on this book b/c i soooooooooooo did not like it – it is now my least favorite BOB – i would’ve never thought the boston mystery one would get bounced but i did like that one a bit better – this one, wow, it had issues – for starters, there was the odd placement of a shakespearean drama in the play – my theory, when writers get stuck, they have their characters get cast in a play – often, one of the classics from shakespeare that their YA audience will know – and this plot device somehow is supposed to save the book – although, in this book, it just made things more confusing – it was a dsytopia (future world that’s messed up – how messed up??? chocolate is banned – so it’s contraband – and while the technology exists to make old people live forever – hooked up to machines – there’s hardly any water, no books, and people seem really hard up for things we take for granted – which makes me wonder why a future that’s so smart that it can cheat death can’t solve all the things it regressed on…)
i’m now set for a week of college football reading – i have one high school BOB left, but i’m not going to be able to get it for a while – the middle school ones will be next – although, i’ll be nice and let ya’ll claim what you want first
hope your first week of reading and writing is wonderful

I’m reading Abraham Lincoln.The authors purpose of these book is to tell about Abraham’s birth in February 12,1809 until his death in April 14 1865.Also the author tells about all of the important information he did to.
In Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, the author’s (J.K. Rowling) purpose between pages 258 and 302 is that Harry Potter wishes he could enter, later wishing he hadn’t been entered, The Triwizard Tournament and unexpectedly get’s his wish, although he did not enter himself due to age restrictions.One of his teachers suspected that it was a skilled witch or wizard, because he or she tricked a powerful magical object.That same teacher also suspected that whoever entered Harry did it to kill him.
In the book speak the authors purpose in the pages through 30 and 46 is that Melinda is a very shy girl and gets hateful looks and things said about her from pepole that she says were her friends from last year. Melinda accompanies a new friend and spends all of her time with her. Melinda has some famliy issues with her mom and dad they keep fighting with each other.Melinda’s grades are not so well her parents talk to her but she dazes out. Melinda keeps remebering things she did with her old friends but she nor them every even acknowledged that they were even close to each other. If they do it is not pleasent.The one main thing the Author wants you to notice is that Melinda has a problem with a student named It. Every time he sees her he winks or smiles like he is gloating or holding something over her. Melinda’s reaction is not positive to his signs that he gives to her. It is like he knows something and she knows it to but know one even sees what is happening.
I am reading the book called Rules and Ive only read 13 pages so I don’t know alot about it so ill tell u about it. First David and his little brother are ready for their first day of summer vacation and when they get up they think it is a sunny and hot day but when they go outside to get in the car they figure out that its cooler and damp day from the rain. They get to the clinic and David’s dad said he would pick them up at 5. Then at 5 they get picked up and they go to the video store.

WOW! It feel so GREAT to be blogging again! It feels like it’s been forever!
I recently started reading The Princess Bride. It’s taking me FOREVER to read it mainly because
BAND IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE!\
Everytime someone asks me to do something I’m like SORRY I CAN’T HAVE A BAND THING
I’ve never been this busy in my life. It’s crazy.
So maybe I’ll finish the book eventually.
The movie for The Princess Bride is wonderful it was one of the first movies I ever saw in my entire life and it’s simply amazing. And VERY Funny.
I had no idea that there was a book first. I thought it was just the movie then one day I was just casually strolling through the library and I about DIED Becasue I was so excited.
Basically the book is about a girl named Buttercup who is forced to marry the prince even though she doesn’t know the prince and she’s in love with this farmboy named Westley.
He goes off to America and leaves her all alone with the prince and then the guy Westley is proclaimed dead. Buttercup is heartbroken.
The one day, unfortunately these crazy guys come to kidnap buttercup and she can’t escape. Then this guy in all black comes to save her. The guy turns out to be Westley. HE’s NOT DEAD!
I’m leaving out a lot of stuff mainly because the book jumps around a lot and his very descriptive so I’m doing my best to explain in as few words as possible.
So Westley saves Buttercup but sadly the prince finds buttercup and thinks that Westley was the one who kidnapped the princess so Westley is about to be killed.
Fun stuff.
That’s all.
Keep SMILING!

I finished the last 4 chapters of the book The Greatest- Muhammad Ali. It is a good book and these last chapters were great and a little touching. But this book is a little annoying because for everything it says about Ali it says 2 things about the civil rights movement and stuff . I mean, i didn’t pick up the book to read about the civil rights movement I picked it up to read about the GOAT ( greatest of all time ). I don’t have a problem with civil rights or Martin Luther King or anything, I respect him for what he did but I wanna read about goat not milk. No offense to Walter Dean Myers. Over all though it was a really good book
Sorry, messed the first comment up. Got distracted and just dissed the book. But anyway, the authors purpose for the last 4 chapters was to talk about the end of ali’s career, and his last few big fights. and little ones. The author really made sure you got a good picture of The Rumble in the Jungle which pitted Ali against the younger stronger George Foreman, and the thrilla in manilla, which found Ali fight Joe Frazier for the 3rd time. The author really wanted you to get the sad vibes about Ali retireing and coming down with parkinsons syndrome.
A Wrinkle in Time by: Madeleine L’Engle
Prompt: take a point of view from another character in the story and tell that person’s story.
I read the first chapter of this book today. The main character, Margaret Murray, or Meg, has a younger brother named Charles Wallace. I will tell his side of the story from the first chapter.
Charles never talked until he was four. After his dad left to who-knows-where, he started talking in complete sentences, more advanced than a typical five year old would speak. This particular stormy, hurricane potential night, he decided to go downstairs and wait for Meg to come while everybody was asleep. He puts some chocolate milk on the stove for Meg. Somehow he knew that Meg would get up.
After Meg comes down from her room in the attic, they start to converse. In the middle of a conversation, Their mom comes down. While they are chatting, Charles tells the group about an excursion in which him and their dog, Fortinbras, were walking. Meg and his older twin brothers Sandy and Dennys were at school (Yes, it has an s). He says that Fortinbras saw a squirrel and chased it to a house that others say is haunted. There they met a lady and her two friends. Her name was Mrs. Whatsit. Later in their talking, Fortinbras started barking at the door. Mrs. Murray went and opened it and who showed up? Mrs. Whatsit! At the end of the chapter after Mrs. Whatsit had been helped to some hot cocoa and a tuna sandwich, she made this statement, “…by the way, there is such thing as a tesseract.” What did she mean? Mrs. Murray then replied, “What did you say?” Once again Mrs. Whatsit said, ” There is such thing as a tesseract.” Then she left. “The tesseract- What did she mean? How could she have known?” Mrs. Murray whispered. The chapter ended, and now so does my first journal.

I am going to write 2 posts but here is the first. I am currently reading the book Travel Team by Mike Lupica. The passage I read contains Danny trying out for the town travel basketball team. He doesn’t make it, and every time it is mentioned he cries. I think the authors purpose for this passage is to show how passionate he is for basketball and how hard he worked to get on the team. The author also shows how upset Danny feels about when they tell him he was to small to make the team.
And that is journal one for today, 8-28-12.
I am reading Hatchet by gary paulson so far the book is about Brian is in a plane and his pilot has a heart attack so he has to land the plane in the water and survive lomg enough for them to rescue him. He is very cold and has to build a shelter and make weapons to kill animals to eat and boil water to drink. After he landed the plane in the water he crawled out of the the busted front window but ripped his wind breaker. So he was cold and had to build a shelter.
I am reading Midnight for Charlie Bone. I started this one because the other one I was reading was very boring.(to me.) But any way I read about half of it when I was in fifth grade. Well Charlie has 2 grandmothers one is Grandma Jones which is his mothers mom, and then he has another one and her name is Grandma Bone Which is obviously his Dads mom. And one day when he got home from school he remembered that his best friend’s birthday is on Saturday. And his family is very poor. But anyway his mom bought a picture of Benjamin’s dog, Runner Bean. Charlie and Benjamin are those kind of kids that don’t have any friends, but them selves.
So, Charlie gets his picture of Runner Bean and looks into the picture and he can hear what they were saying when they took that picture. he is very confused. he thinks he might be woozy from when he hit his head earlier after he got home. But it wasn’t he found out that he gift so he has to go to this special school and leave Benjamin and his family. This school is for Yewbeams. These are people that have a special gift. His Grandmother, Grandma Jones, was also a yewbeam but he didn’t even think about that when he heard the picture.
Well thats all I have right now but I already now what happens next. But I won’t tell you quite yet. But you will know soon.;)

can’t attend any German school.the Jews cant even join the youth.
I am reading Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.Another point of view in this book could be Hermione, Harry’s friend.
Hermione runs away, crying, from the classroom, headed for the hospital wing.Her teeth just won’t stop growing.She turns the corner and is there.Madam Pomfrey helps Hermione, though it takes hours to fix Hermione’s teeth.When she returns to Gryffindor common room Harry is gone, probably to bed.She heads toward her dormitory and go’s to bed.In the morning she finds Harry at breakfast and learns that Harry received a letter that night from Sirius about talking to Sirius face-to-face.It said to make sure no one except them were at the Gryffindor common room fire on November 22 at 1:00 am.Hermione and Harry spent a lot of time going over a plan they made to make sure no one except themselves were at the fire on November 22.Hermione was shocked when she discovered that Rita Skeeter, a Daily Prophet reporter
claimed she was in a relationship with Harry, even though she wasn’t and Rita Skeeter knew that perfectly well.Hermione has been trying to bridge the gap between Harry and Ron that happened when Harry got into the Triwizard Tournament but Ron didn’t.Hermione thought Harry should go to Hogsmeade with Ron.Hermione found out in The Three Broomsticks that Hagrid wanted Harry to come to his hut at 12:00 am on November 22, which made her worry the Harry would be late to talk to Sirius.
That is as far as I have read which is pages 302-324.That’s It

Ok, I started reading this new book called “Imaginalis” by J.M. DeMatteis and this is my first journal so if its bad just forget I wrote it. ( well actually typed it ) And i tend to get off subject…… alot so that might happen a few times, ok here it goes………….
In the beggining of this book theres this girl named Mehera Beatrice Crosby ( twelve years old ) shes NEVER been on a plane and is a little on the shy side. On the first page ( the prologue ) she is flying in the air on the back of a winged lion ( weird right? ) and she just saw one of her friends ( who used to be imaginary ) get murdered right INFRONT of her. Then next thing ya know shes falling of the lion plumiting to the ground ( if i was on the back of a flying lion i would at least be smart enough to hold on tightly ).
Now to chapter one ( three weeks before the prologue )
she is about to give a oral report for seventh grade english, she gets up to read and is SUPER scared. then she gets up the nerve to say “The book I picked to talk about is the fourth book in the Imaginalis series: “Flight from Forever” by Mikela Morice~Gilland” ( that gets alot of groans from the class) the persons last name doesnt have that squigally line but the line it does have i couldn find on my keybroad . Then some mean girl from the back of the class rasies her hand and the teacher, Mrs. young calls on her and she claims that Mehera has already gaven ( or is it given ) a report on that book many times over the last few years. whitch isnt true because in fifth grade she did a report on the THIRD one and in sixth grade she did her report on the FIRST one but this year shes doing it on the FOURTH one ( if your going to TRY to make a point agiast some one you might as well make sure your ACTUALLY right ) but the teacher stands up for her because shes the “best teacher in the history of teachers”
i think the author is doing one of those things where the shy person saves the day but idk cause ya know i havent finished the book yet but that might happen and it might not.
i just noticed that i didnt get off subject THAT much ( but i DID spell a BUNCH of stuff wrong ) and yesterday i didnt have a book to write/type about so today i doubled up on minutes ( if thats ok )
and that is my first journal and it ends……….NOW!!!!!!!
folow up tp what i just typed…..
ok, shes saying her report and its REALLY boring ( she goes into WAY to much detail ) but i just REALLY wanted to type down something that shes said in her report and share it with you guys “regular, boring people who live on regular, boring worlds like ours they see impossible as some thing they cant have” ( meaning the people in the book shes talking about ) then she says ” Well forget about that right? why even try? i mean isnt that what most of us say all the time. well not in this place here nothing is impossible
and i know the way i typed that it didnt sound like it made that much since but what it means is even though these days when it gets hard we just give up well in this book they NEVER give up ( we NEED to try to be like that and NOT give up sp easyly )
ok, NOW my jourmal is done
and i spelled journal wrong sorry
NOW im done ( man every time i say im done i never am )

It was another day at war. Five hundred new soldiers were taken into battle against the forks. I hate this war. Everyday after the “two legs” leave, they start fighting again. I don’t see why spoons and forks hate each other, but I guess the true will be revealed and we will all be at peace. Out of my hundreds of years living in this drawer, I have never seen this much violence unntil resently. Forks thinking they’re better than the other silverware, everyone making fun of the plastic utencils, It’s almost unbearable. At night while the “two legs” sleep I lay awake as I hear the spoons using leftover potatoes as weapons. Every morning my son, Danial, will tell me everything about last night, “We almost had them,” he would say. Then I shake my head and trot off. I do hope that someday the war will end, but until then my reader, I bid you good day.

Here’s my second journal of the day. As you know I am reading the book Travel Team by mike lupica. In the passage I read about when Danny’s dad visits and talks to him about basketbal, and the travel team failure. He talks to Danny and eventually Danny thought to himself never to cry about basketball again. An alternate ending to this passage is if his dad hadn’t come and talked to him about the travel team he would have stayed upset.
Right now I’m reading If the Legends Fade by Tom Hendrix. He’s actually one of my grandmother’s friends. It’s this really cool story of Tom’s great-great grandmother, Te-lah-nay, who was an Indian running away from the soldiers in northwest Alabama during the 1830’s. Tom’s built this wall (which I have seen) miles and miles long using rocks and his bare hands, dedicated just to Te-lah-nay. And when I say miles, I mean MILES!! But, you might be wondering, “why in the world is it called ‘If the Legends Fade’, then?”, right? Actually, it’s called that because only 2 women (I believe) in Alabama know the language, games and legend of Te-lah-nay’s journey, and tribe. So, if the legends fade, who will teach the children? Currently, 5 girls are learning everything the women know.
So now I’m going to tell you Tom’s purpose behind writing the story. It was to let people know about Te-lah-nay’s journey and to inform them about it.
hey mr. Mayfield i feel the same like julie football basketball and baseball i really cant plan anything till that day but then thier parents wont let them… anyhow i will blog on the book die hard daily devotions. i think the cuss words section is saying that whats the point in saying it if it will just get you in trouble…i mean its just as bad to think it as to saying it. dont think you wont let any slip out but you shouldnt bee cussing up a storm and every minute getting yelled at for it.
i am reading Rules and Davids little brother goes to the clinic and David is old enough to stay home but he chose to go with them. Mom likes to stay in the waiting room but David like to leave to go shopping across the street. Well they sit in the waiting room and Davids mom reads him a Harry Potter book and David takes out his sketchbook and pencils and starts listen to his mom and waiting for her to change voices for the characters. He looks around the room and tries to find something to draw but all he sees is the same stuff he did last time. Everything is exactly the same
then David starts to draw Jason. Then all of a sudden Davis looks up Mrs. Morhouse is standing over David and she says “Are u drawing my son”. then Davids hand freezes. he stopps drawing. then she says ” just because he cant talk doesn’t assume he doesn’t mind.” then everyone looks at David.
I am reading the book speak the au Mellithors pupose in the pages 46 through 60 is that melinda is mostly having trouble in all of her classes exept art. Melinda reverse to her waking up with her jaw clenched so tight it hurts in my prospective Melinda is having something on her mind but just can’t say it. It is like something is holding her back. Melinda has found this closet to were she feels she is safe. What dose Melinda have to be affraid of ? Melinda gets a job tested her test results are not that clear to read. Melinda’s parents have trouble with the Thanksgiving dinnner in the end they just orderd out. The main thing the athour wants you to notice is that Melinda freezes up when she trys to talk to any one exept her new best friend Heather it is like Melinda lets her gaured down more when she is with Heather. It is like Melinda has something to say but something or someone is holding her back from say. It seems as if she is affriad of what might happen if she dose.
sorry i meesed up on the first sentence the authur pupose. = )
I am reading speak the author main purpose of the pages 46 through 60 is that Melinda is failing all subjects in school but art. Melinda wakes up with her jaw clenteched so tight that it hurts. In my opinion Meinda sounds like she is scared or wants to say something but can’t. Melinda lets her guard down around Heather her new friend. Melinda has found a old abandon closet. Melinda likes to go into the closet and jst sit there she fells safe there. What dose Melinda have to be scared about? Melinda takes a job quiz her anwers are un clear to her. Melinda and her parents did not have such a good Thanskgiving dinner. Her parents ended up fighing and she had to order out. The main thing the author wants you to know is that Melinda has trouble talking to other pepole if she does she just freezes up and does not say anything. It is seems like Melinda wants to say something but she can not. When Melinda wakes up her jaw is clenched so tight it hurts maybe it is to keep her from saying something. I think that Melinda has somethig to say but is affraid of what might
happen if she said whateone or she needed to say almost like she is scared of someone or something.
I messed up on the word afraid miss type. =)
I’m still reading Hitler’s youth so far the Nazi are forcing Jews in to concentration camps where they may be killed, or they have to work.Also three teenage boys were trying to tell the Germans that Hitler is lying, sadly they got caught.I think it is unfair that the Jews had to be forced to the concentration just because Hitler didn’t like them.
Jason is wheeled to the back and the lady that works at the office asks Jason how he is today and he doesn’t answer but David thinks he is thinking the answer in his mind. While David’s mom is reading to him he still is drawing the stuff out the window. Then Mrs.Morehouse wheels Jason out the front door to go to their car because they are ready to go. And while they are passing David and his mom Jason’s mom, Mrs. Morehouse says that Jason likes the picture David is drawing and while they keep going Davids mom tries to help Jason and Mrs.Morehouse open the door. Mrs.Morehouse says i can get it with my foot. And then when David sees Jason and his mom go down the handicap ramp, David jumps up and spills all his colored pencils that were in his lap and they go everywhere. and runs out the door and gives Jason the piece of paper he drew and the one that Jason liked to him and says please tell Jason that the dot in the window is a flash light and Jason’s mom said I’ll tell him. Then when David gets back in the waiting room he picks up all the colored pencils that spilled and then all of a sudden David’s little brother comes running out the door saying got to go and David’s mom jumps up to block his way. and then David flipped to the rule collection in his notebook and adds “If you want to get away with something, don’t announce
it first.”
ok, now im gonna talk ( well really type ) bout the next few chapters of the book: Imaginalis by J.M. DeMatteis. And since my first journal was SO long and it was only like 2 chapters then this one might be REALLY long and i MIGHT just go over the 10 minute thing ( but i really dont care if i do that )
ok, where i left off Mehera was giving her report, well she finishes a good bit of people were actually listening to her, plus this guy named Andrew who has liked every girl but at the moment likes her ( haha Andrew ) .Then she saw her friend Celeste who used to be in her circle of friends but then everyone left and now its only Mehera and her ( they think they are both nerds ) i cant really descibe that much about her but shes Mehera’s friend and they see eachother ALL the time and go to a good bit of places together alot. I figured out that Mehera’s mom died a good bit of years ago ( i think when she was five ) and she has read ALL the “Imaginalis” seris books more then seven times ( not the book im reading books that are made up in the book ) and she belives that the book is REAL that some where in the world the Imaginalis world egzists and that if you belive in that hard enough you could change the world. the Imaginalis seris has ten books only seven of them have been written so far though. Mehera just figured out that the writer of the Imaginalis books are DONE that the author is NEVER gonna write the last three books, OMG ( the “OMG” was said in a sarcastic voice ) . So she writes a bunch of ” strongly worded letters” to the publisher, author herself and bunch of other people too and none of them answer her. So she does the last thing she can think of she stares at the Imaginalis poster she has and askes the characters of the book to help her and take her into there world cause she hates her life, then her dad interupts up and they end up in a big fight and the poster gets torn in two ( she fixes it later with tape ) . Well the next day she wakes up to her phone alerting her that she has got a text ( that happens to me……alot ) and her phone says its from “UNSYS” and it says : HELP US, MEHERA! . and shes thinking um who the heck is this from unless the person is in my contacts the number will pop up and this person is NOT in my contacts . and everytime she answers who is this they ALWAYS text back HELP US, MEHERA! At first she shows Celeste ( even though shes not supposed to have her phone out ) and she says it could be Andrew cause he’s good with computers so he could have hacked it so it showed up as UNSYS so Mehera texts back : i know who you are UNSYS. then they wait to see if Andrew takes out his phone and then she gets a text back but instead Andrew doesnt take his phone out and Mehera STILL gets a text back ( creepy ) . Thats all
i think that the text was somehow from the Imaginalis people and that she is somehow gonna get trapped or something in the Imaginalis world and that she has the save the would and get back to the normal world, buts thats just what i think.
wow i didnt make that many mistakes in this jounal
ok second journal done….. NOW
bye peeps haha i just said “peeps” 😉
I am reading the bookr speak the athour purpose between the pages 60 through 80 is Melinda is geting into art more but some of the things she does is disturbing to others. Melinda referes that the students can get away with murder this is just a metaphor to say that srping break is almost here. THen heather Melinda’s asked her to go over to her friends house then she asked if she could help her decorating the teachers lounge. The main pupose the athour had is that Melinda dose have a true friend no matter what happens.
Alright. I didn’t get to blog yesterday because I was a horrible person. And I was stuck at band practice till like 7 last night.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO COME AND WATCH US PLAY SOME MUSICAL STUFF!!!
I hope you enjoy. We sure have had to work REALLY REALLY HARD!
Sadly, I haven’t been reading as much. I’m just so busy.
But now I’m about 3/4 of the way through The Princess Bride.
It’s a great book!
I actually would suggest that you read it because yes, it IS a sappy romance but there is a lot more to it.
It’s probably one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. And yes, I’ve cried multiple times.
So to summarize this book, I realized, is the HARDEST thing in the whole world.
I went back and looked at my last blog and I basically left out half to book.
So here is the best summary that I can possibly do.
Buttercup is forced to marry the prince.
But she’s in love with Westley.
Westley is in love with Buttercup but Buttercup thinks that Westley is dead.
Buttercup gets kidnapped by 3 guys. Inigo Montoya, Fezzik, and another guy whose name I have forgoten.
Westley knocks out the guys who have kidnapped the princess.
The Princess realizes that it’s Westley and the reunite and kiss and stuff.
Then the prince decides to kill Westley but Buttercup doesn’t know it.
So Westley gets killed.
BUT
Inigo and Fezzik, the guys who kidnapped the princess have decided that they are going to bring Westley back to life. Even though Westley almost killed them,
So they take Westley to a magical healer and he gets brought back to life.
Then they decide to raid the castle
Because the prince is plotting to kill the princess and then start a war against another country.
So Westley, Inigo, and Fezzik break into the castle.
Okay. That’s where I stopped.
That is all.
Keep Smiling.
Bye!

Hey Mr. Mayfield, I kinda miss read so I’ll tell you what really happened.
Ok, so Charlie gets the picture when his mom gets home. But, when he opens the envlope it wasn’t Runner Bean.
It was a man in a rocking chair with a baby in his hands. Behind him was a cat that its fur looked like a flame. And it was like he couldn’t look away from the picture. It’s likeit had a mind of it’s own, and it wouldn’t let him look away.
In the picture he heard the man speaking, a lady behind the camera, the baby crying, and the cat purring. the thing is it’s not thier baby. it’s like the man’s sisters or something? Idk.
After that Charlie was suprised at the door by Benjamin and Runner Bean. They wanted tosee if he was still coming to Benjamin’s party.After that they all three went for a walk, then a newspaper hit charlie in the face. It was very rainy and about to rain.
But there was a man on the newspaper his name was Bloor, Manfred Bloor. the article in the newspaper said that he just survived from a fire, how suprising!
The newspaper says that he was calm and thankful he was alive. But he wasn’t. Charlie heard the voices again. Manfred Bloor said, ” Some ones going to pay for this. The firemen says a candle is what started it. It was tipped over by accident. But thats not what Manfred thinks.
So they sat down in the rain and he told Benjamin about the voices he had been hearing. Then all of the sudden a man walks up to Charlie and Benjamin. The man said ” You do know it’s raining right.” Charlie relized that it was his Uncle Paton. So he Walked Charlie homebut Benjamin Had to go to his house.
Charlie got home and found out that his Three aunts were coming over to have dinner. Also to talk about Charlie’s knew that he just found out about.
Well that’s how far I got. I’m almost done with the chapter. so that’s kinda good I guess.
Well Bye!:-)
I have been reading hatchet by gary paulson. So far Brian has killed two rabbits he made a stew out of them and some clothes. He went back to the left over rabbit and used it for fish bait and caught a pike. But then he made a bow to shoot rabbits and fish. So he could shoot more rabbits to eat and make clothes and fish bait to catch pike for food.
Hey everybody!:) I stopped reading Travel Team because it got boring. I am reading the first book of the 39 Clues series, The Maze of Bones. I have only read 2 chapters so I dont know much so I’m going to try my best. I read about how Dan and Amy went to the funeral and Grace put up the challenge of the 39 clues. An alternate history would be if they didnt go to the funeral they would not have been offered the clue nnor the million dollars. im going to type 2 blogs today so be ready for another.:)
Ok, so Charlie finds out that his Aunts are coming over. They are all yewbeams, so thats kinda why they want to know so bad. So Charlie washed his face and cleaned his hands. He also put on his neatests clothes.
When the Aunts arrived he was super scared although they were his Aunts I don’t know why he was so scared. They come in and through their things on the floor and expected Charlie to pick them up. Although they were all rich Grandma Bone was the only one that din’t have money.
Charlie angrily puts the burning pan on the table then walked away as soon as he could so he didn’t have to clean up the spot of soup he dropped.
After all the food was set up in the table the dug in. As the acwared silence countinued, some one finally spoke up. Aunt Lureita asked him what his spcial gift was. He told her and then I stopped reading. But I’m gonna read some more right now my mom has to use the computer.
See you soon;-)
I’ve just finished Hitlers youth.the rest of the book talks about the end of the war.the youth surrender to the Americans and they were forced to see what Hitler did to the Jews.they saw the skeleton standing from the people that died in freight train at the end they helped rebuild.
Ok my journals/blogs always seem to be WAY too long so today im gonna try to make this one shorter ( im probalby gonna fail when it comes to that though ) and if i spell stuff wring then…. well thats normal for me soooo here it goes……. OH WAIT!!!!! i only read a few pages today so maybe it WILL be smaller ( or maybe not cause i just waisted like 5,6 or 7 lines explain how this is gonna be SMALLER ) ok lets cut to the chase………
ok where I left off Mehera had just texted UNSYS to see if it was Andrew and it wasnt, well the rest of the day there was NO more texts from ” UNSYS “. She said she wasnt kinda disappointed cause she kinda wished that it really WAS Andrew and she kinda DID wish she was that weeks love of his life then she said, and this isnt word for word:let me get this staight i have ZERO interest in being Andrew’s girlfriend, but she would have to finally admit to herself at least that it would be nice to think some one, even Andrew had feeelings for her. But the more she thought about it the more sure she was that it WASNT Andrew. That night she was eating dinner with her dad ( remember her mom is dead ) and he asked ” wheres your head tonight ” and she ALOMOST thought of telling him about the UNSYS thing but then she figured if she did her dad would go completely bonkers ang call the police or something. that night there was a post on her facebook wall ( witch with all the restrictions her dad makes her out up should have been impossible ) and it said ” IMAGINALIS IS IN TROUBLE AND YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE ” but the weird thing was that this time it wasnt signed UNSYS it was signed UNCLE NOSSYSS ( i think thats the name of one of the imaginalis characters but idk that wasnt stated very clearly ) then Mereha found out that if you take the name UNCLE NOSSYSS and mark out CLE and NOS and then the last S it leaves UNSYS.( witch i think isnt the best way to figure stuff out cause you cant take anyones nae and mark out certian letters you can make many different words ) but whatever so she typed back ” Whoever you are, why dont you go borther someone else, because i don’t think you’re funnt in the least. i think you’re incredibly immature and incredibly dumb and if you do it agian,im goona report you to the FBI” she hit the reply button to send the message but her computer chashed so she booted it back up and tryed again and her computer crashed again, its like the person she was trying to send it to was making sure she couldnt reply ( CREEPY ). next thing ya know shes playing detective trying to figure out who this random person is first she was TOTALLY sure that it was Andrew then she just KNEW it HAD to be Alana then she was ABSOLUTLY knew it HAD TO BE Laura Washington. But then she woke up at 2:00 in the morning and decided it was DIFFENTALY Celeste ( her best friend if you didnt remember ) so she decided to start to completely agnore her. but the next day she was surfing the web and something popped up that said ” UNSYS would like to send you an instent message do you accept ” she clicked “no” but the message came though anyway ( weird ) and this is what it said word for word ” Mehera, it!s not Celeste, it!s not Laura, it!s not Andrew, it!s REALLY me. It!s Uncle Nossyss ” then she typed back ” Leave me alone ” then they said ” I can!t leave you alone. You!re our only hope. Imaginalis will perish withour you. ” That last sentence stopped her dead right there, something about it made the whole world just feel shaky, woozy , fuzzy, like it didnt even make since ,ya know?
ok, thats all and to think this blog post was only on like 5 pages and it was still about just as long as the others ( i think ). i didnt even get off subject that much but again as always i DID spell stuff wrong. ok that is my journal for today and im gonna read more so i might blog some more but i also might not cause i dont want to make you guys have to read TWO of my EXTRA long blog posted in ONE day so i might just read and then wait and blog about it tomorrow, idk i’ll decide later
Bye homies…… haha yesterday i said ” peeps ” today i say homies ive gone crazy, hahahahahahahah 😉
I just started Chomp, by Carl Hiaasen, so I haven’t noticed any literary features yet. But I’ve come far enough in the book to know this:
Wahoo and Mickey have accepted a job involving their animals for an episode in a television show called Expedition Survival! It reminded be of Man vs. Wild because the star of the show has an Australian accent, except the star, Derek Badger, fakes the accent. Anyway, so Derek acts like a complete brat to them, wanting to wrestle their animals and cause them pain. He tried to mess with their snapping turtle and python. It didn’t go very well because the turtle took a bite out of Derek and the python just wouldn’t cooperate. Also, Derek and Mickey have been arguing all the time because Derek is acting like a showoff and wanting to hurt his animals and Mickey cares about his animals.
Next week I plan to have read more and to have some literary features.
YAY I’M OUT FROM MARCHING BAND PRACTICE.
I think we’re somewhat ready for tomorrow. It snuck up on us really fast. We’re playing two songs and then marching off the field to the fight song.
It should be pretty good but it’s not the whole thing because the third song is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to play.
I’m excited though! It’s my first time marching and Thompson will probably be a lot better than Us BUT I DON’T CARE! Everything might go wrong, but I’m so Happy.
Alright so The Princess Bride.
I’ve been forgetting to tell some pretty MAJOR Details. So I’m going to backtrack and tell you about Inigo Montoya.
Inigo Montoya is Spanish… In case you couldn’t pick up on that.
He grew up with his dad and his dad was the world’s greatest swordsmen. All the people in the world would come to Inigo’s dad to make a sword for them.
There was a count who came into Inigo’s home asking for Domingo (Inigo’s Father) took make him a sword.
The count had six fingers.
So Inigo’s father spent 3 years making and perfecting the sword. Finally the Count came to get the sword and then said that it was not good enough and he killed Inigo’s father.
Inigo lunged toward the count and stabbed him in the leg with a knife.
The count lived and then sliced two cuts on Inigo’s cheeks.
So Inigo grew up and went all over the world to practice sword fighting.
He became the best swordfighter in the whole world and then decided to go out and find the count so that he could kill him.
Okay so now make to where I ended:
Westley, Inigo, And Fezzik break into the castle.
Westley finds Buttercup and then kills the prince who was actually plotting to kill Buttercup.
Fezzik knocks some dudes out.
Inigo finds the count and says over and over again “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya you killed my father prepare to die.”
The count threw a knife and it hit inigo’s chest.
But Inigo didn’t die.
He kept going and killed the count.
So now The princess, Westley, Inigo, and Fezzik are trying to get out of the castle without being caught.
And I’m almost done with the book, so that’s Good.
It took me long enough.
Alright.
That is all.
Keep Smiling!
BYE!
Hey Mr. Mayfield,
I think the author’s purpose for writing Eragon and Eldest is to entertain because they’re really fun to read because they’re exciting and and makes you want to go on an adventure and read the next book and find out what happens next inthe series.To me the books are fun to read because they have adventure and fighting so they’re really fun to read.I like reading because it gives me something to do whenever I’m bored and its really fun to read.
I am reading the book speak the athours pupose is 80 through 86 is that Melinda’s friend Heather has just landed a modeling job Melinda is being a good friend and good friend and goes with her to her acting job. Mellinda feels uncompotable drawing the posters she was helping Heather with. Melinda does not like attention from other pepole in my opion. Heather asked Melinda to hang up the posters because she had another modeling job. Melinda agrees she wanted pepole to see her doing something good. She said it might help her reputation what does she hve for a reputation? Melinda is hanging up the posters out sideof the metalshop when all of the suddun ‘she feels little flakes of metal slice through her vains’ IT was whispering something to her “Freshmeat” What did he mean bye that and why did he say it to Melinda? Melinda says ‘IT found her’ she said it like he was looking for her she said’I though I could ignore IT’ Why would she need to ignore him does he know something that no one else does? melinda thinks to her self why her out of every other freshmen he picked her and all of the other grades. The main thing the athour wants you to know about this chapter is Melinda reacts it is not positive she said she could smell him how would she know what he smelled like the main thing she said is he remembers and he knows. What does he remember what does he know and what is it about?
What is up my fellow Mayfield peers? Here’s my second blog of the day. I read about the Cahill’s very powerful heritage, and Dan and Amy accepting the challenge. I can compare this story to the Hunger Games because the main characters are faced with a deadly challenge which if completed, they receive a great prize. That’s my last blog of the week, check up next week for more! 🙂
