“Two Mischivious Stories”

By Alexander Parada

I am going to write about two amazing stories I have read. I will compare and contrast ,”Fudge-a-Mania by Judy Blume and “Big Nate In The Zone” by Lincolin Peirce.

There are some similarities in these two stories have funny and sometimes annoying characters. Both stories are Mischivious. Both characters are clever. Both do odd things. Both characters are eccentric. Both stories are Fictional stories. Both don’t get their problem solved.

Although both  have a lot of things in common, there are specific differences. First of all, in “Big Nate In The Zone”, Nate is older then Fudge, Nate is eleven years old. In “Fudge-a-Mania”, Fudge is younger then Nate, Fudge is six years old. I think That Big Nate books are a lot more funny then Judy Blume Books /Fudge-a-Mania are less humorous. In “Big Nate In The Zone”, Nate goes to School. In “Fudge-a-Mania” for some reason Fudge is six he should be in kindergarten, but Fudge just doesn’t go to school.

In Conclution, both stories were very fun to read. I enjoyed the comedy’s in the book. My favorite story is “Fudge-a-Mania” because I love how it is very eccentric and funny.I hope you liked my compare and contrast essay.

Thank you‼️😃😄

                         “The Dangerous Cable in Space”     🌎                                                                          

           By Alexander Parada

This article is called “Spacewalk to Remember”by Laura Blackburn. It’s a hard job to put up a space cable. Even if its historic. It took 5 1/2 hours to finish putting up the space cable. From “Spacewalk to Remember” by   Laura Blackburn, despite the tricky nature in the mission their pair wrapped up their work in just  5 1/2 hours. ” Despite the tricky nature in the mission their pair wrapped up their work in just five and a half hours.”                                                       They had to do three spacewalks to put up the cable.”From Spacewalk to Remember”by Laura Blackburn, on both last Wednesday and Sunday Missions, Virtz reported having water on his helmet once he was back inside the (ISS).”I couldn’t feel it on my skin”, he reported to Mission Control.” I could just see a thin film on my visor”. One of the problems that might occur is your spacesuit might malfunction  which makes putting up the cable extremely dangerous. “From Laura Blackburn,The spacewalk was done in 8 days. It took them 19 hours to do all three Spacewalks. They had to unravel 400  feet of cable in one of them.                                                                        The Space Cable Was a good 🇺🇸American idea lifting the huge cable that weighed tons Astronauts take virtue once again it was a dangerous mission.

                             Two Problem Filled stories

             By Alexander Parada

I am going to write about two exciting stories I have read.😄  I will compare and contrast,”Ramona age 8″by Beverly Cleary and “Pepita Talks Twice”by Ofelia Lachmon. There are some similarities in these amazing stories. Both stories are very exciting to read. First of all, in both stories both kids talk back to their parents. In both stories, the characters are realistic girls. In both stories, The  characters both have siblings. In both stories, both kids have a problem that concerns everyone. In both stories, both characters have pets.  Both characters find a solution to their problem. Although both stories have a lot of similarities there are specific differences. In “Ramona age 8 “Ramona sibling is a girl. In “Pepita Taks Twice “, her sibling is a girl. In ” Ramona       age 8 “,Ramona’s pet is a cat.” As she  let in the cat a gust of cold air filled the room”(314). In “Pepita Talks Twice “, Pepita speaks Spanish. “Puedo escuchar en español”(264)In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed Pepita Talks Twice because she speaks Spanish and she would be able  to speak to 60% of the world and be able to make more friends.👬.

Once upon a time

there was an Ape who lied,

and every time he lied he was petrified.

But then he met a dog named bun,

who tricked him and he got burned by the sun.

Then he met a bear,

who kicked me down the stairs.

The came and charged and punched me in mid-air,

he ripped off my hair.

But then he met a drulling pug,

who ate a bug.

Sadly he got burned by the sun,

his life was almost done.

Then he was super crazy,

But he turned lazy.

Then he met an elephant that weighed a ton,

to the ape it looked like a hotdog bun,

Ape ran away,

but he got stung by a stingray.

by Alexander Parada

1.  The number of places of natural beauty in the United States is growing scarce.                                                                                                                                                2.  Perhaps you’ve seen pictures of the majestic mountains in Yosemite National Park. Maybe you’ve been lucky enough to visit Sequoia National Park, where the sequoia trees are as wide as a classroom and soar 400 feet into the sky! Thanks to the efforts of John Muir a natuB.       ralist.                             3. John Muir was born in Dunbar Scotland over 150 years ago.                       4. When John was about ten years old when news that California miners had struck gold and his father burst into his room and announced “tomorrow we will leave for America”.His family moved to Wisconsin.                                     5.The farm Mr.Muir bought was near a forest, lake and a meadow. There is no end to the wildlife to be explored.The surrounding wilderness became a classroom for John and his brother.                                                                 6.By the time John was about 15, he was hungry to learn more. In his spare time, John experimented with inventing. He made a

thermometer , barometer and a firestarter although he never seen the inside of a wach,he invented clocks and a device that would automatically feed horses at given times.      7.John headed out to the state fair with three of his best inventions and won a  $15 prize, but he was also offered a job.                                          8.John’s real dream was to study at the University of Wisconsin, so he took the job to help him save for college.                                                              9.One day, a friend was explaining to John that a pea plant and a locust tree where  in the same plant family. That was John’s first botany lesson.     Botany is the study of plants, and John Muir was hooked.                         10.During the time of the Civil War, Muir moved to Canada and began the first of his wilderness wonderings. He hiked through Canada’s thick forests,colecting and studying plants for the next10 years, Muir was a wandering botanist a scientist who studies plants.                                               11. Muir loved exploring different areas. One year he walked 1000 miles from Kentucky to Florida. He eventually headed west to California and The Sierra Nevada Mountains.                                                                                                                                                                          12.For  years, John Muir explored Yosemite, the forest of California. Muir was worried because many people where destroying  the lands beauty by cutting down ancient redwood trees. He saw delicate grasses and plants destroyed when ranchers let their sheep and hogs trample and graze on them. But what could one man do to stop this?                                                                       13.A friend of Muir’s convinced him to write  articles and letters to newspapers describing the beauties of the wilderness and the dangers they faced.                                                                                                                                                                                              14. Muir helped form the Sierra Club, which worked to protect the  environment.                                                                                                   15. Muir’sarticles and letters fired up the nation and forced the government to take action.They inspired Congress and the president to create and protect national parks. Because of John Muir’s love of the environment Americans still have these wilderness areas to explore and appreciate today.

                                         Inland Taipan 

                                    By   Alexander Parada

The Inland Taipan are amazing animals. The Taipans color can be dark brown or light straw color. They change with the seasons. The Taipans darker colors Osborn heat in the winter. The Taipans head is almost black. The Taipan snake lives in the black soil plains between Queensland South Australia and Northern Territory. The Taipan is also found in dry deserts.

Taipans have an awesome way of breeding. The female Taipan lays up to 25 to 30 eggs per clutch they lay their eggs in very deep abandoned burrow. When a baby Taipan is between four or five years old, the baby Taipan hunts alone. Taipans have spectacular behaviors. Taipans rarely bite humans. The Taipan has enough venom to kill 250,000 mice! The Taipan is nocturnal which means “active at night”. The Taipan is the second most venomous snake in the world. The Taipan can swim in water. Taipans eat amazing animals. The Taipans prey is mice rats frogs lizards and other small mammals. The inland Taipan also has enough venom to kill 100 men. The inland taipan is not endangered because we just started learning about them. The Taipans lifespan is up to 25 to 30 years old. Taipans are extraordinary animals.
