New Jersey
Dear Miss. English and Class,
This week I have been reading a Non-Fiction book about New Jersey. Since I used to live there I thought I was an expert on it. But actually I wasn't. So I learned all there is to know about NewJersey. Such as.. How their economy is and what they are known for stuff like that.
They are called the garden state because they are in love with flowers. I always thought that that was a pretty cool name for a state. They also have alot of economy activities such as... Nursery products, corn and fruit,they also have alot more.
In New Jersey they have quite alot of famous people there like Judy Blume and Meryl Streep and Bruce Springsteen. They are also very high on sports like The New Jersey Devils (hockey team) and The New York Giants (football team) The New York Jets (football team).
New Jersey is one of the best places to live. That's why I choose my book for this weeks blog on it.

NEVADA
Dear Ms.English and Class,
For my non-fiction blog I would like to tell you about Nevada. I have been to Wendover, Winnemucca, Reno and Las Vegas Nevada and I thought that I knew all there is to know, but I was wrong there is much much more to know. For instance Nevada got it's name from the Sierra Nevada which means snow covered peaks in Spanish.
There is a lot of history about Nevada. Washoe were the main Indians of Nevada. They lived by Lake Tahoe. A question of mine was how did Lake Tahoe get it's name? The Washoe called the lake DA-ow-a-GA which means edge of lake. Pioneers miss understood it and named it from the first two syllables Tahoe.
You think of Nevada as a harsh dry place but you are so wrong! Nevada usually gets 9 inches of rain each year. Also, the Sierra Nevada is mostly covered in snow during the year. Southern and West Nevada are the driest parts of Nevada.
Now I will tell you about the places in Nevada. Carson City is the capitol and Reno is the biggest little city in the world. When you enter Reno the neon lights will catch your eyes! A great place to visit is spirit cave if you like paranormal activity. If I could go I would spend the night there. Another fun place is Lake Tahoe. The Lake is over 22 miles long. Lake Tahoe is 1,685 feet deep. My favorite place in Nevada is Las Vegas! I stayed at this wonderful hotel Montego Bay. They had a real shark! The streets of Las Vegas have so much waterfalls and music! I go to the casino's a lot (but do not do anything there because I can't) because my dad likes to play poker and it is fun to watch on t.v. Hover Dam is a dam that makes sure the Colorado river does not over flow.
A question I had was What kinda shark was at the hotel I stayed at? And, How long and wide is the Hover Dam? What happens if you do stay the night at Spirit Cave?
Sincerely,
J.A.

Matilda
Dear class,
I read this book called Matilda. This book is about a girl named Matilda and her parents treat her like a dog. They treat her brother wonderfully like a butterfly.
When Matilda started school she didn't know anybody and pretty much nobody knew her. When the bell rang the most meanest, frightenest, scariest Head Mistress Miss Trunchbull came out of her car door and had this big ball that weighed about 200 pounds in her hand. She came to Matilda as the most grumpiest person and said "I had a talk with your dad and he said keep an eye on you. Matilda didn't know what was going on. A girl beside Matilda said "It is ok she is mean to everybody.

A girl beside Matilda said "It is ok she is mean to everybody.
Matilda had the most meanest head Mistress of all Miss Trunchbull yet the nicest teacher Miss Honey. The head Mistress thought that the little princess Matilda was a rotten little girl. Miss Honey Matilda's teacher thought that Matilda was her greatest student. Matilda knew most of everything that her classmates didn't know. Than when Miss Trunchbull came the person outside that was talking to Matilda pored her a glass a of water and dropped a lizard in the glass of water. Matilda moved her eyes back and forward then she stared at the picture of water. Then slowly the picture fell Miss Trucnbull blamed Matilda. Matilda knew it was her that did it.
My connection to this story is that when I got bigger my parents treat me like Matilda because of my innocent brother. My reaction is that I fell bad for Matilda and hope she will get through this tough situation. My opinion is that I think that everything Matilda's parents and Miss Trunchbull did to Matilda they should get revenge.
World War 2 Again!! Part 2
Dear Ms. English and class,
Hi!! This is part two of World War 2 again. As you can see I like this book. It also has lots of odd things too. My first question is, why did the Nazis have smaller guns ( like the 88 mm flak) than World War 1 (which includes 390 and 420 mm Howitzers ). These WW2 era Cannons were smaller yet more powerful. It could be for economic reasons but I think it might be because Austria-Hungary was gone ( I think ) and they produced a majority of the Howitzers for Germany. They also helped the Germans on the Eastern Front in World War 1.
Next question's all about "BOOM" and "CRUSH". It's about tanks for those who don't know what I'm talking about. Why was Tank Production so slow before and after World War 2. It was terrible during and a few years after WW1. In World War 2 though, things like the King Tiger, T34, M4 Sherman, M3 Grant, and tank destroyers were produced rapidly. Then it went down again and only until the 1980's the only good tanks produced were the M60 Patton (a.k.a. "The Bulldog), and the Soviet's T64 . Now we have M1 Abrams and and M2 Bradleys but between 1946 and 1980 there was a big DOW!! in tank production.
This was a bit shorter but I used 1 original idea in the previous one.
Sincerely,
Davis

World War 2 again!! Part 1
Dear Ms.English and Class,
Ok , this is another WW2 blog. This one is more in depth and better. It starts right after WW1 and ends near the end of the 1940's. It shows guns, weapons,and more. Anyway, my first question is why did the Germans (Nazis) build so many Mausers? Mausers were bolt action 5 clip guns that were nothing compared to a M1 Garand or a BAR. Even Lee Enfields (10 clip Bolt action rifles) were better. The Germans had only 1 semi automatic and 2 automatic guns ( which includes the Gewehr 43, MP40, and MP44).They could lower their Mauser production and make more decent weapons. Still though it packed an ok punch.
You know what's odd? The Nazis had better Tanks and Field guns , how did the allies beat them? However the Germans did have some disadvantages. They lacked fuel, mobilty ,officers, and most importantly , air support. The Luffawafe ( luff-waugha ) had a total disadvantage over allied air power. This might have been why the allies had the freedom to have air support almost at will.
In the battle of Berlin , I think the Soviets should have concentrated more men around Berlin. The Germans were mostly Home Army troopers (which had Teens and old people) except for 1 SS Battalion. The Soviets Had 1.3 million or more attacking and they had better guns and tanks at hand. The Germans hastily made barricades to guard Berlin which created the joke of " it will take the Red Army 2 hours and 15 minutes to destroy the barricades, 2 hours laughing their heads of, and 15 minutes smashing it up". So the point is the Soviets outnumbered Germany 5 to 1 and Nazi Germany was gone before you could say " Run for your life!!!!!"

My mom and Other Mysteries of the Universe
Dear classmates,
I am reading a book called My Mom and Other Mysteries of the Universe. Arlie thinks her mom doesn't love her because she's always telling her what to do. Her parents are going on a business trip for two months. She's staying at her aunt's house for a month. Then one day theirs a new kid in her class. Her name is Casey lane reversed it's Lasey Cane. Arlie's moms name is Lacey Caine! On that day her parent's are in a car accident! Her dad's fine but her mother's in a coma!
When I was reading this book I had a few questions. I wonder why only her mom got seriously injured? Why does her new classmate look, act, and has similar relatives? When I was reading I had an reaction. I would not want to be Arlie wright now. This book is very captivating too. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Every Cloud has a Silver Lining
Im reading Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining by Anne Mazer. It is about a girl named Abby who is starting her first day of fifth grade.She wants to be a soccer star. I predict she will meet a lot of friends and she will get on to the soccer team she wants. I think once she gets on she will be really good and have a lot of fun playing so she wont want to quit.I thought it was cool to have calenders all around her room but I wondered why she wanted to have all those calenders?
