Smart Feller Fart Smeller







I read Smart Feller Fart Smeller by Jon Agee. (not the Jon in Garfield) . It is a book with lots of spoonerisms. If you don't know what spoonerisms are then go to http://www.dictionary.com/ and find it. Or read Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook by Shel Silverstein. Anyways this book is really funny and if you like funny stuff then read this book, because it has lots of funny stuff. Here's a hint about what spoonerisms are: A grilled cheese sandwitch and a chilled grease sandwitch. (I spelled sandwich like that because of Halloween.) Grilled cheese sandwitches are delicious, aren't they? I love grilled cheese. There's lots of spoonerisms in this book that are really funny. And in this book there are pictures to go along with the words to make it funnier. You should really read this book if you are in a bad mood because this will cheer you up.






A connection I had to this book was: on the AG field trip to the Renissance festival there was this show with a person called Zilch and he talkied in spoonerisms, like Cinderella would be Rindercella. It was really funny.
I think this is a short blog (compare to what I usually do). Why this is short: This book is really short too. It has lots of pictures. And I can't believe why this is nonfiction!!!
I can'tt waiiit till Halloween!!!
If I wrote MUST....EAT....CHEESE..... then what would it be if I said that in spoonerisms?
Once again: You should REALLY read this book. As in REALLY.
And leave a comment because I am really bored right here!



I wrote the whole thing again in Webdings (the font) WHAT is webdings?

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle


I finished reading The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. Apparently Charlotte gets accused of murdering Mr. Hollybrass. She thinks it is Zachariah or Captain Jaggery. So she has a trial and is found guilty. She goes into the brig (a jail on a ship) and finds Zachariah in there. Zachariah is supposed to be dead because Jaggery whipped him.



When Jaggery was giving the trial, why didn't anyone stand up for Charlotte? She became part of the crew and they became her friends. She helped them a lot and they all hate Jaggery. Charlotte tried to make it up to them when Zachariah and Cranick died because of her. Was it because they were scared that Jaggery would kill them if they spoke up.

How did Zachariah survive the beating? Jaggery whipped him 50 times and it looked like he died. I can tell that if he only whipped Zachariah once, he would've died. But 50?

Avi makes it like you're in the book so I felt betrayed when I found out that Keetch was informing the captain about everything. At first it seemed like he was on the crew's side. It turns out that Keetch was telling Jaggery everything from the beginning.

If you like adventure, mysteries, and you're okay with some boring parts, then you should read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. Actually, the whole first part is boring. But if you skip it, the second part won't make sense.

Double story special!

This is another blog with 2 books. One is a history of martial arts and the other is a crime and detection book. I'll start with Crime/Detection. It's a eyewitness book about Crime and Detection. I thought it was funny when it told about a fraud who put in a add in a newspaper saying, we have a 100% effective way to kill cockroaches. People who baught it got 2 blocks of wood with instructions saying " place cockroach on block A , then stike block B hard on top of block A. It worked but he got arrested anyway.

Mah next book is called The Matial Arts Book. It's about the history and present martial arts from the 18 hands of the Lo-Han, to Kung Fu ,to Tai Chi , to Karate, Tae Kwon Do ,and Kendo. I learned about Ninjas ( Girl ones to) and samurais. Ninjas throw Shurikens which can be dipped in poison and were masters of disugise. I wonder why they have non humans in Samurai time Japan. Non Humans were the Janitors of Ancient Japan, they washed garbage of the streets and did things others would rather not do.

It also tells about how different Martial arts are now. I feel sad about the fact people learn Martial Arts to beat people up when it really is for a good mind and body.

The Cat that went to Heaven

I have just finished reading The Cat that Went to Heaven. The story begins in India where an old housekeeper brings home a cat to her master, a poor artist. Then a priest comes to ask the artist to paint a picture of the Buddha. He then paints the animals who recived the blessings of the Buddha, including the horse, the swan, and the tiger. When he saw that the cat was upset, he then added a cat. Then the cat died out of joy. The wanted to burn the painting because the cat was in there. But later that night, where the cat was in the picture, she was now next to the Buddha in the painting.
If you are a cat lover like I am, you'll like this book. It has won a Newbery Award and I'm glad it did because it is a very good book. Read it if you don't believe me!

Dogs (*authors note* i like dogzez)

Guess what this book is about?

thats right cats!



lol O.o



This is a non-fiction book about dogs and it is mostly about there evolution from wolves!

It shows the many different breeds, compares them, and then shows there origin It also has an awful lot about about domestication and how they communicate.



This book has once again made me and I quote "like I said last time 'more closer to my dog then ever!!!' yeah" I now know that they say hello by sniffing and "snuffing" noses, they lick each other to seal the welcome, and (from my personal experience) it is ALOT of licking (I hope you like dog spit). The (true) stories in this book are heart melting and I think the domestication with dogs is the best domestication yet!

AVALON!

Dear class and others ,
as you know I'm reading Avalon #3 right now I'm on pg.3 and the girls haven't found any new info bout the magic place called Avalon... On the backof this book it says ...:

SENT


Dear class,

The book I am reading is Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix. After the guards left the kids spent the night in the palace and when they woke up they started to eat the bread that was supposed to be for the king. After they eat they go out of the palace and see everybody moving toward the church. So they follow the people and find out that they are introducing a new king. When the kids see the king Chip yells "Usurper! Thief! Murderer! You do not deserve to be king!!!" Then he took off running. Jonah started to chase Chip as he was running away. Then Jonah caught up and then he grabbed Chip's leg and Chip fell. Then they went to a cave to get stuff planned out. Jonah had a plan and they went with his plan. They went inside a church and stood next to King Richard III. Sense they were invisible they could say anything. They started making fun of Richard then the invisibility turned off so Richard could see them. They took off running and then went to the Queens house. Chip and Alex connected with their tracers at the Queens house then JB took Jonah and his sister out of time. They saw JB and their was a screen and King Richard was coming to the house. So Chip and Alex hid away. When the King left Jonah and his sister fast forward thorough the time 2 years with Chip and Alex still in the 15 century. So next Jonah and Katherine go to save Chip and Alex in a war. When they succeeded they went back to the 21 century to see their parent they were so happy to see them again!
I have a reaction and it is that I was shocked when i read that they were going to fast forward through time and leave Chip and Alex there.
Sincerly,
RJM
