Today in English, we went to the library to pick out a book of our choice and I picked The Folk of the Faraway Tree 2nd book or in short (The Faraway Tree) by Enid Blyton. I chose the book because I have read the 1st and 3rd book so I thought I should read the 2nd. I hope that the 2nd book will be just as amazing as the others; also I hope a new character will come into the story instead of Connie because she was really annoying. I also hope the characters will have brilliant adventures so the book will be as fascinating as the others.
I am continuing my story of "Nancy Drew: The Bungalow Mystery".
Nancy and Laura and Helen went back to the bungalow a day after they had taken refuge in it. They wanted to thank the owner but nobody was home.
Laura Pedleton, Nancy and Helen's new friend, invited them to dine with her and her legal guardians at a hotel on Melrose Lake.
Mr. and Mrs.Aborn could act a bit bizzare and told Nancy and Helen about Laura's mother, who passed away some months ago. After that "lovely" dinner, Nancy drove back home to River Heights. She then found out that her dad needed her help on a mystery.
Selena is the famous Hispanic person who I chose for my project. Here is a bit of info about her:
Selena Quintanilla was born on April 16th, 1971 in Texas, though she is Mexican too. She was shot and killed by the president of her fan club because of jealousy on March 31st, 1995.
Selena was a singer and when she died, George W. Bush, the governor of Texas at the time, declared her birthday "Selena Day". The Warner Brother Company produced a film about her life starring Jennifer Lopez in 1997.
Today we went to the library to read some in our books. It was kind of fun because I’m reading this book called Diary of a wimpy kid - Dog Days. I didn’t read that much but this is what I found out.
After Greg had got his hair cut he got hooked on soap operas. When Rowley, Greg’s best friend, came to his house they went through Rodrick’s stuff. They found a picture of a pretty lady and a horror movie. The movie was called “Hello, you’re dead.” The two friends decided to watch the movie at night when everyone was asleep. When they had watched the move they were so scared they told Greg’s mum everything. Greg’s mum got very mad and she decided that she would start a book club for boys in the neighbourhood. The club was called “Reading Is Fun Club.”
I think the book club will not go on for long because I think all the boys will quit. Soon I hope Greg will do something embarrassing and funny.
In the libary today i didn't read much. When we came in the libary grade 7 were still cheacking out their books. So we had to wait in the line. when I cheacked out my book I have to put it in its place again. Whene I put it in its place I started to look for a book. I couldnt find a book that looked and sounded fun to me. Then Mr. Machlaclan came and took a look how I was doing looking for a book. I told him that I cant find any good books and if he wanted to help me find one. We looked around a bit. Then he found a book called Narnia. He told me that this book is the first book of Narnia. Actually this book was even before the real Narnia book went our. The name of the book is The Magicians Nephew. All I read in the book are the caracters. I will name a few for you. 1. Aslan 2. Digory Kirke 3. Polly Plummer 4. Jadis 5. Uncle Andrew. 6. Prince Caspian and a few more.
On the sixth of November we had double English period and on the second lesson we went to the library. In the library I continued reading “The Silver Sword” by Ian Serraillier. And on this period I read the fourteenth chapter.
As I have already written Edek, Ruth, Jan and Bronia were going to Switzerland to find their mother and father. And they had covered the third of the way to Switzerland. On one of the stopping of the train, they found themselves in Warsaw. They didn’t seem to notice that everything around them had been destroyed, that buildings that had stood for generations had been wiped out. Perhaps it was because they were too used to it – Warsaw looked no different. Perhaps it was because the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and Switzerland was just round the corner.
Today we went to the library and read our books again. The Chapter I read was very short, and I didn’t really enjoy reading it.
Reading Log
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Chapter 9, The Mock Turtle's story.
The Queen takes Alice to the Gryphon, a strange creature, who later takes Alice to the Mock Turtle. The Gryphon and the Mock Turtle tell Alice awkward stories about their school under the sea. The school the Mock turtle went was very strange, and had very unusual subjects. The Mock Turtles sings an interesting song about turtle soup, and soon afterward the Gryphon drags Alice off to see the trial of the Knave of Hearts.
Artemis Fowl. This story is about a twelve year old boy who is an extremely clever boy. He could easily be the best thief in the world. But there is only one person who knows if he wants to be a thief; himself. He hates to talk to any one, so no one knows if he wants to be a thief. Another reason for him to be a thief is that his family is very poor. So one day he decides to go and seek his family’s fortune. He has a great plan that would cause a war if anyone found out his plan. This pat of the story is the prologue. This book is written by Eoin Colfer. It has a brilliant shiny cover by Tony Fleetwood. One hot day in Ho Chi Minh City, Artemis Fowl and his Butler were sitting in the boiling sun. Waiting for Nguyen, a man who knows where the book Artemis Fowl is looking for. Finally Nguyen came disguised as a waiter, but Artemis Fowl immediately recognises him so Nguyen sits down to talk. Nguyen was trying to see if Artemis Fowl had any weapons, but Artemis read his mind. So Artemis told him that the butler had the weapons; two throwing knives in his boots, a gun up his sleeve, a wire in his watch, three grenades in his pockets and a ball-bearing cosh stuffed down his shirt. Nguyen brought the tea cup trembling to his lips. “Don’t be alarmed, Nguyen,”smiled Artemis. “The weapons will not be used on you. The butler could kill a thousand different ways.” That is where I got to in this book. I think that Artemis Fowl will catch the wrong thing and have some trouble.
I am on a new chapter called Frobscottle And Whizzpoppers. This book has very strange titles and words.
Sophie was feeling hungry and thirsty and asked for something else to eat and drink. She asked for water and the BFG gets a bottle of green liquid in a massive bottle. He calls the liquid Frobscottle. When he shakes it the bubbles fizz the wrong way. Then Sophie and the BFG talk about what happens when fizzy bubbles are in your stomach. Sophie tells him that it is much better to have the bubbles go up then go down. This is because they would make you burp or produce gas! The BFG does not agree and tells her that it is better for the bubbles to go down because that noise that you make means (to the giants) that you are happy.
The BFG shows Sophie what happens when he drinks the Frobscottle. He shakes the bottle and there is an explosion as he drinks it. Then there is a loud noise like thunder from him, this is the whizzpoppers (we call it wind) and his feet lift from the ground. He circles the room like a rocket. Sophie has a go and says the drink is delicious like vanilla and ice cream. She does the same as the BFG.
I thought that this was a funny chapter because it was about two rude things, burps and noises coming out of your bottom.
‘The Hobbit’ is a story of a Hobbit called Bilbo Baggins who lives in a large comfortable house in the side of The Hill. He was the son of Belladonna Took and Bungo Baggins. The Baggins family were respected as they were wealthy and serious, they were not adventurous hobbits. One morning the old wizard called Gandalf stopped to talk to Bilbo and was telling him that he was organizing an adventure and was looking for anybody to join him. Bilbo told him that he was not interested in adventures. But Gandalf ignored him as the next day Bilbo was surprised by thirteen dwarves and Gandalf that came for tea and to discuss their adventure.
I love my reflection I thought to myself. Urgh here is what’s her name... err Echo. Yes Echo. She is walking towards me. I know I’m handsome but why? Why does every girl have to follow me? I know! It’s because I’m sooo handsome! “What can I do for you?” I asked her she answered “for you....for you...” she answered. That’s what you call weird! She laid flowers on my feet. I kicked them away. I get enough of them every day. URGH!! She is still following me! “Everywhere I go you have to follow,” I complained “....follow....follow...” she answered “Stupid girl. I suppose you think you love me.” I explained to her in a nasty way “...love me....love me...” she answered “You bore me! Leave me alone!” I exclaimed “...alone...alone...” she told me back. This was starting to get really annoying! Day after day she followed me and followed but every day she got uglier! “oh do go away! I hate the sight of you! Do you really suppose that I could ever care for a stick insect like you? Look at yourself!” “Look at yourself!”...she sobbed “Gladly! I told her. That was the best thing I have ever heard her say. I’ll go to my favourite spot. In the middle of the forest. I looked into the pool. I like it. I love the face. I need to touch it.....” don’t go!”I shouted as the face went to ripples. I tried to kiss it but then, no what’s happening noooooo....
1st one: I am reading about Chinease CInderella and i think it is really good. My favorite character is CC who is the man character. It is a really good book and i have read three pages. So far it is about a little girl who goes to sleep at her aunties some nights and tht she has a wicked step mother
2nd one: I am still reading about the Chinease cinderella and now she is in a fight with her step mother. She bit her becaues the step mum tryed to strangle her were as befor the step mum had hit her and she had a bleeding nose. Her dad was more worried about the Step mother...
3rd one: Her dad has now kicked her out the house and she a sto join the secret dragon society. They are very welcoming and the person in charge is realated to CC's auntie.
