I am reading a book called “Life as We Knew It”

This is a fantastic book, it is a very sad story at the start but in the end, it gets really good.

I usually dont like science fiction books but this one really  surprised me and i loved it!

summary

Everything was normal until the moon was knocked out of orbit.

When the moon was knocked out orbit, it created worldwide disasters. Tsunamis destroyed coastal cities, killing millions of people. Thunderstorms cut off electricity in most of the world, including Miranda’s school. None of it seemed real to Miranda. Even when her mother sends her and her brothers to the grocery store to buy everything they could. Gas price went  up and up until it  reached the price of 35$ a gallon.

Summer suddenly becomes like winter, temperatures going down to -20 degrees. Miranda cannot think of how it will be like in winter. Miranda keeps on asking herself questions like “how long can my family and i survive with not much water, not much food, no electricity and very cold temperatures?”

A lot of people start giving up hope, starving, and dying of diseases. Miranda still tries to live a normal life, going to the lake to ice skate but there is too much ashes in the air and after a while of iceskating, she can not breathe anymore. With her mother and her 2 brothers, she will fight for their life and do the best she can to stay alive can.

The end is really amazing and i really recommend that you read it.

I have to admit, I am a twilight saga addict. I read all of the books 2 times.

The books are:

• Twilight
• New moon
• Eclipse
• Breaking dawn

I though that all of the book were excellent! but the one that i like the least was new moon because around the middle of the book/movie,nothing much happens. I watched the movie with my friends yesterday, Like most of the time, I though that the book was better than the movie.The movie was still wonderful but i liked the book better. The book has a lot more detail and is much longer. But it is quite hard to fit about 600 pages into a 2:30 minutes movie.

Review:

On Bella’s 18th birthday, her vampire boyfriend, Edward and his family throw her a birthday party. While unwrapping one of her presents, she gets a paper cut, which causes Edward’s brother, Jasper, to try and jump on Bella because of her blood’s scent. To protect Bella, Edward decides to end their relationship. The cullens leave forks which causes bella to be very depressed.

To take her mind of Edward, Bella decides to try  something new she had never done before, which is motorcycling. Bella also makes a new friend Jacob black. Who makes her feel better about the break up.

The story gets very interesting at this point and I do not want to ruin it so if you want to know what the end is, Go see the movie or read the book.

Q:What do you think about using a blog/ website for learning at school?

A:I think it is a very interesting way to learn. I also think it is very fun. I am faster at typing then at writing so this helps me a lot , My handwriting is also very bad so i also like it for that. This also helps me on my computer skills.

Q:What are the best/worst things about using blogs?

In my opinion, the best thing is that you are doing work but it is still very fun. I don’t really think there is anything too bad just that if you get grounded and your parents tell you not to go on the computer but you have work to do on edublogs. Also when you  do not have any internet connection, you cannot work.

Do you like the idea of using your blog/website for other classes, not just English? What subjects and why?

I would like to use edublogs for most of my classes but maybe not all of them. I would like to use edublogs for math because then I would not have to bring my huge math book home whenever I have any homework. For math we already have a website but it is mostly do do homework and games. You cannot show to other people what you are working on and you cannot show you own work.

I would not like to use edublogs for anything like art voice or drama because you do not really do a lot of writing so I don’t think I would use it much.

I would Not like to use edublogs for science because you cannot really show your experiments and other things.

 

What are your favourite websites that you use?

I use facebook and youtube  a lot. When I am bored, I go on bored.com. When I want to know a little bit about celebrities i usually go on People.com. I used to go on clubpenguin.com I was addicted to it but now I am bored of it.

What would you like to be able to do use your blog/ website for? What ideas have you got?

I would like to play games, watch videos and chat to people.

 

Do you think it is important to learn how to use things like blogs? Why? Why not?

I think it is very important to learn how to use blogs because maybe in the future everybody will be using blogs.

In my opinion, it is the best book I have ERVER read! A little while after the winter holiday, all my friends were reading the book twilight and they were all saying that it was the best book they ever read so I read it. Every single part of the book was fantastic, the beginning, the middle and the end are wonderful. Once I started, even just the first page, I could not stop! Stephanie Meyer made her characters very interesting, some were not good looking, some looked like movie stars but the most fascinating thing is the relationship between the characters. Some like each other and some HATE each other.

Bella swan, the main character moves from Phoenix, a very sunny town to rainy Forks to live with her father, Charlie. She goes away so that her mother could spend a good time traveling around the world with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, who is a minor league baseball player. In Phoenix she was not a popular girl at all so it surprises her that she attracts so much attention at her new school. She quickly made friends. Several boys in the school like Mike Newton and Eric Yorkie, competed for shy Bella’s attention.

When Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in biology class on her first day of school. To Bella’s perspective, he des not seem attracted when she would want him to be. He even attempts to change his schedule to avoid her, leaving Bella completely puzzled about his attitude towards her. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her the local village legends, Bella soon understands the rumor that the Cullen’s are Vampires but do not drink human blood, only animal blood. She was still attracted to him even when she thought Edward was a vampire. After about 3 weeks, Edward and Bella fell in love. The only problem is that Bella’s blood smells more than any other human’s blood making Edward struggle to resist his desire to kill her. However Edward and Bella still manage to stay together safely for a time.

Their relationship was perfect when it is thrown into chaos because of another vampire sweeps into Forks. The vampire, James is a tracker vampire. He decides that he wants to hunt Bella. The whole Cullen’s family is doing their best to keep away James. Their plan to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix with Jasper and Alice, Edwards’s siblings. Bella then gets a phone call from James in which he says that he has her mother, and Bella is forced to come to her old dance studio she used to go to when she was 8 ears old. Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescue Bella before James can kill her. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella’s hand, Edward sucks the venom out of her blood before it can spread and change her into a vampire. After a long time in hospital with Edward on her side they returned to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella tells Edward how much she wants to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.

I am very sorry if I ruined the end of the story by telling you but I just could not manage to keep it a secret.

                       Emma’s Tragic Life

                                             

“Why do I have to live this way, can’t it be anyone else! OHH if only I had another life. Why am I the only NORMAL person in my family? Oh my little Teddy Bear the only thing I know is that I will never give up on you, or be disappointed in you. You are my only hope! Do you know who usually helps me out? ITS YOU! You are the only one who cares about me. I have no friends, just you.”

Emma said to her teddy bear when she was desperate to have a good life.

 

She was walking along the road with her handicapped sister, Lyndia. They opened the supermarket door and went in. Emma’s sister grabbed cigarettes when Emma was not looking and put it in the basket. At the counter, they asked

” How old are you”

Emma did not know why they were asking her but she answered,

“I am 11 and my sister is 16”

“So that means you two are not aloud to have THESE!”

Emma had no idea what the counter boy was talking about so she asked

“What are we not aloud to get?”

“ Uuh do you even know what you are buying?” he answered glumily.

Then he took the cigarettes and held it in front of her.  

“LYNDIA!”

Emma screamed at her sister.

“I TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES, YOU ARE NOT ALOUD!”

 Emma marched out of the store without even taking her things. The counter boy was all confused but got over it. Lyndia was riding her wheel chair so fast when suddenly BAAAM!

 

 Lyndia was on the floor in the middle of the road. Emma did not even look around but she knew what had just happened. To Emma the whole world had frozen. She did not know what to think or do. In her mind, she was hoping and hoping that the cars had stopped. When she finally decided to look around, an ambulance was already there.  The nurses told her to come in the ambulance.

 

 The shock made Emma sleep and when she woke up she was in a weird bed and all she could see around her was white. For a moment she had no idea where she was but when she got her mind working again she ran as fast as she could to the nearest nurse.

“ Where is my sister, and what happened to her?” The nurse all confused answered.

“Calm down and tell me your sister’s name.”

“ Lyndia”

Emma answered as fast as she could. She desperately wanted to see her sister.

”Your sister is doing just fine but she will need to stay a little longer.” “Can I go and see her?” Emma asked

“I am afraid you cannot right now, the doctors are checking her with the X-rays.”

“ When will I be able to see her though?’’

“If you wait just ten minutes the doors will be opened.”

 I stepped in the room and saw my sister and the doctor. The doctor told me that my sister was just fine but that she was going to have to go to a special learning center where I could only visit once every 2 month. I was very happy that she was alive but it would have been even better if she could just stay with me. I came back home all disappointed.

 

 

 

It had already been 1 week since I had not seen my parents. I had not heard from them but I was not worried. Later that evening I got a call from the police saying that my parents had burnt a shoe shop and that 3 people were injured and that they had to go to jail for 3 whole years.

“Are you sure they are my parents?”

I asked. They said yes and they told me that I was going to the Hapeville orphanage. I was in such shock that I did not even react, I did not even get mad!

 

That morning she was at a new house, she did not even know how she came here? It was just like her first day of school, being new and everything. Later that night, she was quite scared, she was in a new bed, a new room, new people around her when she started asking

“ Hello god, its me Emma?” “Are you there god, Are you even listening to me god?”

“Well anyway if you are than listen to me.” Emma said quietly.

“Please make a very nice family adopt me. I would be the happiest person in the whole world!”

She stood on her bed and said

“ PLEASE PLASE god, Make my wish come true”

After this wish, I fell asleep.

The next morning Timothy, my room mate woke me up and told me that their was a surprise downstairs.

I got dressed and went downstairs and I saw a nice family standing there waiting for me. The next thing I knew, I was signing a contract paper for them to adopt me!

 

 

Lately I have been reading this awsome book called All-American-Girl. The setting is in Washington DC and the main character is “Samantha Madison”.

Samantha Madison is a typical teenage girl who Happens to save the president of the united states from a bullet. When she saves the life of the President of the United States. She insists that she was not a hero and anyone would have done the same thing if they were her standing next to the crazy bullet shooter.Sam was standing next to him after she skipped her art class and instead went to the CD store downstairs from her art class. Sam struggles with her new popularity and her new life, with the press and the fake friends who are only being frendly because she is a world famous girl!! Sam is also in love with her sister’s boyfriend, jack.The presidents son that she knows from her art classes just happens to be in love with her. Because she saved the presidents life, the president decided to name her thet new UN Teen Ambassador witch she thinks is a totally boring job. All she has to do is come every wednesday for 3 hours at the white house and talk to a boring adult about an art comepetition.

Fun and interesting book! Meg Cabot really captured me in the book and once I started I could not stop.

In english class we will be making our own comic strip. I think that it will be very FUN but also really hard. I think I will be pretty good at making the story but what I am very bad at is drawing so I though that I would search on the internet for a good explanation of how to draw comics. I was searching and I foud a pretty cool website if you press LINK  you will be able to access it. I also foud another very good website with tips and everything you need to do when you make a comic. LINK  and this website is also very great LINK when you need some explanation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During this winter holiday I went to the movie theater and watched the movie Wall-e. This movie is a computer animated film and I think it is mostly for kids from the age of 6 to 10 but even if you are older it is still a really funny, exciting and interesting movie. In the whole movie there is not too much talking except at the end. There is a little bit of romance because wall-e is all alone when Eve comes to earth from the huge spaceship and wall-e fall’s in love with her. Eve had no idea that wall-e liked her she was just hang in out with him.

I think one of the reason Andrew Stanton created the movie Wall-e is to show people that the earth is polluted  and that we need to clean it. At the beginning of the movie, Wall-e is all alone on the earth and is working at cleaning and compressing all the trash he can find. He feels alone and really badly wants a partner but there is nobody  because the earth is so dirty. All the human’s left the planet and went in a huge spaceship in which they can do anything they want. In this spaceship, there is no room for imagination and everybody does, eat and drink the same thing. They are all fat and don’t walk anymore. When they need to move they stay on their big chairs and control it with a joystick. They never do any sports and when a terrible thing happens on the spaceship and they can’t use their chairs again they have no idea what to do because they forgot how to walk.

I will not tell you the end because if you want to see it then it will spoil your pleasure.This movie reminded me of the film nemo and the film ET. It reminded me of these things because in ET it happens in space and in Wall-e it does too,The main carachters of ET are aliens and aliens make me think of the fat people in the spaceship. It also reminded me of nemo because in nemo the movie is setteled in water and water looks a little bit like space, I think of that because in the water humans cannot breath, They cannot walk and in the water you float, in sapce is the sameThe only thing i do not like about Wall-e is that it is a little bit too long when he wants a partner on the earth. I also think that this movie is very imaginative and creative.

In english class we did a project about Roal Dahl. We had 3 periods only to make a big poster about Why Roal Dahl is a good story teller. The teacher did not do anything exept give us the materials so as a class we interviewed teacher:

Mr.Neary

Ms.Gerrish

Mr.Tracy

and the librarian

 

I think as a class we were good listeners, good thinkers but i think that we had a little  too of some people were a little bit too bossy but we still did very well. I think.

 

My first choice is Violet Beauregarde from the book Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. Violet is my first choice  because i love it how she is always chewing gum and I love gum too. My favorite act were she is in it is the part were she try’s Willy Wonka’s blueberry gum and then she starts growing like a ball and gets all blue. I think she’s really cool because she is always chewing gum and she always has the same color outfits as her mom.

2. My second choice is oompa loompa’s from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. I really like them because i think they are really interesting and I love their oompa loompa song. they look really small but smart and funny.
