A Mango-Shaped Space

The book I am reading now (actually I finished it already) is called....(drumroll) A Mango-Shaped Space, by Wendy Mass. It's an amazing book. It's about Mia, a 13 year old synthesete. (DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK, I JUST PUT IT THERE. CLICK ON IT AFTER YOU FINISH THE BOOK OR IT WILL GIVE EVERY THING AWAY. ) Did I mention that I don't like giving away endings to really good books? Don't search that word on Google, find the definition of it, or anything like that. Okay, I'll just tell you the prologue. In the prologue, Mia is in third grade. She needs to do a math equation on the board. She thought that if she wrote slowly enough, she wouldn't finish. So, she writes each letter in it's right color....
"Mia!" her teacher says. "This isn't art class. Just use the white chalk.
"But isn't it better to use the right colors?
"What do you mean, the right colors?"
"The colors. The colors of the numbers, you know, like the two is pink, well of course it's not this shade of pink, more like a cotton candy pink, and the four is this baby-blanket blue color, and I...I just figured that it would be easier to do the math problems with the numbers in the right colors. Right?"
And then her teacher gets mad, sends her to the principal, the principal gets mad, tells her mom, mom gets mad, etc. People call her a freak.

That's the summary of the prologue.

These are my thoughts for this book. First, this book is the best book I've ever read. It's really good. You should really read it. Also, why did Mia wait to tell everyone? She should have done it when she was younger. It doesn't make sense. This book is really sad in the end. I really like the meaning of it. You might be wondering why it is called A Mango Shaped Space. Well, Mia has a cat called Mango.

Witch and Wizard

Dear class:

This book im reading right now over track out is like harry potter, but except it tells a different story. This book that im reading is called Witch and wizard. This book is about a boy named Whit (weird name i know) and a girl named Wisty. Wisty is a young witch and Whit is a wizard but they dont know that! So in the book there taken away by army people because there witches and wizards. There in the jury and a guard of securety says that Whit is a wizard and that Wisty is a witch. As they were heading to prison Whits body burst in to flames! The army people were about to shoot Whit and refused to not use his powers and thats what Wisty said also and that they could get killed!

ECLIPSE!!!!

Hey, i have been reading eclipse. So lets get started.

OK so Bella goes to the fire with Jacob. She sees Leah and Seth there. Leah used to be Sam's girlfriend but know her cousin Emily is. so they were all surrounded by the campfire listening to stories about the wolfs legends. They were very interesting although Bella fell asleep and Jacob had to take Bella home. Jacob had already called Edward so he wouldn't be worried about Bella since Bella was supposed to call Edward.

Right know Edward is convincing Bella to stay HUMAN. he is saying that because he didn't have a choice. also he thinks that Bella wants to turn into a vampire because somebody went in her room so Edward wants her to wait till they found out who it was and solved and then if she still wants to be turned into a vampire then they will turn her into one. Also Alice is planning a graduation party and Bella is nervous of course. Alice is excited because she saw that Bella got her concert tickets.its funny because Bella didn't even know what she was going to get Alice until now. I find that funny. Bella is happy though now that she knows that Alice is going to enjoy her present allot. don't you guys think that is kinda funny? i think it is funny because i would love to know what my present was,but then again i like it being a surprise. do you like it being a surprise or knowing what you are getting? I think alice is very nice and talented.

Ok know i have 2 questions for everyone.
What is your favorite twilight character?
are you team JACOB or edward?
answer those questions when you comment.


Thanks!




Well that's where i am right
know!!

hope you answer those questions. Bye!:)!:)!:)

D Day World War 2

My current WW2 book is about D-Day. It's when the Allies landed in France to fight Hitler. They landed at Normandy and caught the Germans by suprise. They suffered many casulties but Hitler thought they would land at Le Calais so he prepared troops there. He brought in reinforcements too late and the Maquis and the SOE sabotaged railroads and roads. So it just goes to say........ Hitler is D-U-M-B .



I don't see why everything went wrong at Omaha beach ( others were Utah beach , US , Sword beach, Juno beach, and Gold beach, British and Canadians). At Utah they only met mild ressistance and had the same amount of preperations and of what I know, the same amount of Jerrys guarding! The ones at Omaha beach might have been better quality but they were in the same Army. Maybe the Americans at Omaha were lower qualitie than the ones at Utah. The main factor though is the Paratroop actions. The one at Utah very sucsesful but the one at Omaha took a while ( they had the 101st airborne OMG!, by the way their famous)

The Germans could have had better defence but Hitler thought it wasn't the main attack. He still thought it was at LE CALAIS! The allies made inflatible tanks and trucks and made it look real. Jerry actually fell for it!HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ( four hours later) HA HA. Anyway, the Germans used flatbeds to carry their tank for " saving fuel "they are aware the flatbeds ( run by motor) eat the same amount of fuel? Plus even though they were protected from air attack ( AA guns) many were destroyed by ressistance fighters. The ressitance fighters were very secret.

One Tuba player carried his explosives in his Tuba and said he had to go to the fields to play his" bloody Tuba" he boasted he could fit two Unassembled British Sten guns ( picture) in his Tuba. What a way to use insruments what's next Trombone rocket launcher?

A bunch of books about some doggy-ish stuffz 0.o

I have been reading about alot of dog wolf fox stuff and have learned alot! they did not have humor however so i will add my own!

First off there is the wolf...he started it all, meaning (even though he evolved from another critter) he was the prevolution of all of the foxes and dogs we see today. he is almost extinct however and it is all your fault *cries*. no lolz here! they are making a comeback and they will survive but it is hard for them and little red riding hood is not helping! If you want a real story about wolves read about romeus and Remus (the twins who founded Rome, or so they say...)



Next is the fox and , as seen by the by the picture he can turn into a snake at any given moment!

he is more agile than the other two so he can slither up trees and swallow entire meese (lolz how do u pronounce is mooses?) in one big gulp! not really, but they can climb alot and they are very fast, but not exactly strong! oops sorry evolution!



last is the wild and domesticated dog! This is the most interesting because there are such big differences between each breed from useful to stupid here they are! First is the Newfie (Newfoundland) and the Portuguese water dog. they help fisherman and love water so in return the evolved to have webbed feet and swim the breaststroke! A wierd examaple is the dalamation, gardners love these dogs not just because they are good companions but they have less acidic PEE! which means that there pee can help put out fires and does not hurt plants or soil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thats also why firemen like them, yes you may laugh, it is very funny!)

These books have all helped me make a good relation ship with my little newfie mix (call him a water mutt!) and has also allowed me too make a small relationship (they will let me go within 50 feet without death) with my back yard wolves!!! (there so cute and cuddly I wuv dem ,yes i do, YES I DO!) And that This will allow me to help save wolves form extinction, but we all have to pitch in! Call the canadian wolf song corporation right now and save a wolf fox or dog!

environment

I'm reading about the environment in the world almanac 2008.

Did you know that forest one third of earth's surface? Pines, hemlocks,firs,and spruce trees all grow in the the cooler climate.(farthest from the equator) These trees are called conifers because they make cones.
Temperate forest have a warm, rainy summers and cold, snowy winters. Deciduous trees (they lose leaves in the fall and grow new ones in the spring) are in the evergreens.

one of my reactions was: I didnt know that depending on where trees live that they had a catagory.

Distant Waves

I finished reading Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn. 5 sisters, Mimi, Jane, Emma, Amelie, and Blythe go on the Titanic. Before that, they live in a weird place called Spirit Vale, where the dead comes alive. Mimi (the oldest) and Jane (the second oldest) go to New York on their own to interview Nikola Tesla, a scientist. Jane goes to a Chinese restaurant while Mimi stays with Ninette Aubert, the girlfriend of a rich person, Mr. Guggenheim. When Jane comes back, Mimi tells her that she is going on a tour around Europe with Ninette. So Jane goes home alone and is in big trouble for losing her sister. When Mimi comes back, she tells them that she is going on the Titanic and she takes Blythe with her. When Jane, Emma, and Amelie discover that the Titanic is going to sink, they try to get their sisters off the boat. But they accidentally get on when the boat is leaving the dock. Now they are stuck on the boat and they meet new people.

Reactions
I think the place Jane's family lives in is weird. It's called Spirit Vale and the only job in Spirit Vale is contacting spirits. It's weird because Jane's mom, Maude, is supposed to actually talk to the spirits. But Jane sees her mom pretending to see the spirits. Jane's older sister, Mimi, doesn't like talking to spirits. She's the one who convinced Jane that Maude was pretending.

I felt bad for Mimi when she found out that she was half black because back then, people treated African Americans badly. Her dad was Jane, Emma, Amelie, and Blythe's dad but her mom was Haitian. Her real mom died so her dad married Maude. Jane, Emma, Amelie, and Blythe are all her half sisters.

I felt really bad for Jane when the Titanic sank. She knew one sister was dead and one was unconscious. She hoped that the other 2 were safe. But when they got rescued, they couldn't find Mimi or Thad. She finds them about 2 years later. Nikola Tesla was a scientist who's time machine apparently put her 2 hours 40 minutes to the future. It took Mimi & Thad 2 years and 4 months to the future.

Questions
How could Mimi leave Jane in a weird city? Mimi is the oldest and was supposed to take care of Jane. But when Mimi was offered a job to tour around the world with Mr. Guggenheim & Ninette , she just abandon Jane. So now Jane is the oldest and she has to take care of her younger sisters.

Real Stuff
Even though this book is mostly fiction, there are some real people. Victor Giglio, Mr. Guggenheim, Ninette Aubert , Nikola Tesla, and a lot of other people in this book were real. There was one person, W.T. Stead, who predicted that the Titanic would sink but he got on it anyway. Mimi, Jane, Emma, Amelie, Blythe, and Maude Taylor were all made up.

The Battle Of The Red Hot Pepper Wennies

Dear Classmates,

I have been reading this crazy book about The Battle Of The Red Hot Pepper Weenies and if you don't believe that it is crazy than go and read the book. There is crazy story called the cat almost gets a bath and this pretty crazy because the Sanderson family owns a cat, it doesn't get weird right there, because guess what they are allergic to the cat. Mom Sanderson is really allergic to the cat. Dad Sanderson is just allergic to the cat. Albert and Grace are fairly allergic to the cat. Now one day Dad Sanderson was reading the Now if you don't think that is weird say I don't that is weird as loud as you can. Now if you that is weird scream as loud as you can.

C- Cats don't like water or getting a bath.

R- It is weird that a family would own a cat and they are allergic to the cat.

O- I think that should own a dog for 2 reason. #1 they are allergic to cats and #2 dogs are much cutie and smart.

P- I did have a prediction.

Q- Why would own something that you are allergic to. Who does that now in days I guess I know who does the Sanderson family.

V- I do not have one.

I have one more story to tell you and it is reallllllllllllllllly weird you won't even believe it. It is call Yesterday Tomorrow and this might be really crazy probably more than the cat almost gets a bath. There is this girl and her mom said to go to bed because tomorrow was a school day. The girl got so mad that she throw her clock and broke it. When the girl woke up she was wandering why her parents hadn't woke her up. She saw her dad having a bagel and he got bagels on Saturdays only. "Something was wrong with to day," the girl said. Then the little girl figure out that today was Saturday by the time she went to bed. Then she woke up and saw that it was Friday,to bad she had to go to school. Then guess what it was Thursday. The week was backwards the girl had to do something or she would get younger. A week later she fix her clock. Then the room start to spin around the girl got dizzy, after that she went to bed. When she woke up it was finally Monday. Back to the way it was.

C-Don't have one.

R- It seems werid because she broke the clock not the day.

O- I thimk that this a good story but like I said she didn't brake the day she broke the clock.

P- If they wrote more I think that the girl would have told everyone that she was getting younger and that the time was going backwards, but nobody would have believe and would have said it was a dream.

Q- Why would David Lubar write a story and call it Yesterday Tomrrow.

V- I didn't have one.

Cooking the Thai Way

I read Cooking the Thai Way by Supenn Harrison and Judy Monroe. It is obviously about Thai food, which looks really good but most of it probably doesn't taste very good. (Same with Chinese food. ) Did you know that the traditional way of eating is on the floor there? (in Thailand) Thai food is usually spicy and sour. It is also mostly beautifully arranged. Thai people eat lots of rice( like other Asian countries). Rice is part of all their meals. They eat their rice really fluffy and dry. They almost never eat rice just by itself, always with a really strong flavored soup, curry, or sauce.

One of my favorite things in the book are pineapple fish noodles. It looks good. I also really like the Thai Coconut Custard, which also looks really good, and the bananas in syrup looks really good too. I also like the tropical fruit dessert. And I like Thai spring rolls. (those are lots of opinions)

Also why do Thai people always serve some thing really bland with something really flavorful?

Also, there isn't any cheese in the Thai recipes. :-( (=D for people who hate cheese)

The Thai coconut custard looks disgusting but probably tastes really good.

Funny Poems!

The second part of my blog post is about the Kingfisher Book of Funny Poems!

Obviously, it is about poems that are funny.

There are a bunch of poems in this book that are selected by Roger McGough.

Some of them aren't really funny but some are really funny.

Here's a poem.

The Blue Room

My room is blue, the carpet's blue,
The chairs are blue, the door's blue too.
A blue bird flew in yesterday,
I don't know if it's flown away.

By Richard Edwards

Unfortunately, there aren't any poems about cheese.

I think there should be because everyone thinks cheese is really funny.
