“Two Spectacular Stories”

By Annika Warrick

          I am going to write about two amazing stories I read.  I will compare and contrast, “Junie B. first grader Shipwrecked” by Barbra Park and “Stage Fright on a Summer Night” by Mary Pope Osborne.  I thought that the two books that I read were happy and adventurous.

          There are some similarities in these two intriguing stories. Both stories are centered on a play with historic settings.  First of all, for example, in “Stage Fright on a Summer Night” the story is set in old England during the days of Queen Elizabeth.  In Junie B. “Shipwrecked” the story takes place at school in a play about Christopher Columbus.  The main characters, Jack, Annie, and Junie B. are all in elementary school.  Jack is 8 and Annie is 7 and they are the characters from “Stage Fright on a Summer Night’.  Junie B. from “Shipwrecked” is in first grade and is most likely 6 or 7.

          Although both stories have a lot of similarities, there are specific differences.  In Junie B. “Shipwrecked”, Junie B. is sassy and she talks back to her teacher and gets in fights with her classmate.  In “Stage Fright on a Summer Night”, Jack and Annie are more mellow.  Jack agreed to read for the play to help William Shakespeare.  In “Shipwrecked” there is one main character, Junie B.  In “Stage Fright on a Summer Night” there are two main characters, Jack and Annie.  In “Shipwrecked” it takes place at school.   ”Stage Fright” it takes place in England.   In Junie B. “Shipwrecked” there was a mistake at the end of the play.  Junie B. and her classmate took a fall to the floor causing chaos.  In “Stage Fright on a Summer Night” Jack and Annie read their lines with no mistakes and the show went on.

          In conclusion, both stories were so amazing to read.  I enjoyed all the adventures of Jack and Annie in England.  My favorite part of “Shipwrecked” was when Junie B. and her classmate fell in front of everybody while performing in the play.  It made me laugh.

“An Eccentric Earthquake”

by Annika Warrick

           The article I will write about is called”A Colossal Quake”by Zachary Humenik. The article is about a dangerous earthquake in Nepal. It did a lot of damage!!!!

.         About 4,000 people lost there lives and also 7,180 people were injured.”So far more than 4,000 people are known to have lost there lives. About 7,180 people were injured by the quake, police said.”(Humenik) This earthquake was the most biggest earthquake was the most biggest earthquake to strike in Nepal since1934.” It was the largest earthquake to strike Nepal since1934.”(Humenik) So far 70% had destroyed village of Nepal.” I’ve had reports of village were 70% of the houses have been destroyed.”(Humenik) More problems are after shoks they can damage a lot to.”Another problem is after shocks .” “After shoks are smaller earthquake that happen after a large quake.”(Humenik)

.         In conclusion, the article was really fun to write about. It was the most interesting article that I read about. I feel bad for the 4,000 people who lost there lives.

Terrific Stories

By Annika Warrick

            I’m going to write about two amazing stories I read. I will compare and contrast, “Pepita Talks Twice” by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman and “Ramona Quimby Age 8” by Beverly Clearly.

There are similarities in these two incredible stories. Both stories are  about girls who learn lessons. First of all, both girls are stubborn. Both girls hope for things they also try new things.

          Although both stories have a lot of similarities there are specific differences. In “Pepita Talks Twice”, Pepita tries not to be noticed. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8”, Ramona tries hard to be noti

          In conclusion, both stories were very exiting to read. I enjoyed how both girls were willing to try new things. I liked “Ramona Quimby Age 8”, the best because she is so sassy!!

My trip to Mexico

By Annika Warrick

.         The most special time was my first trip to Mexico. I went to Mexico with my cousins, step cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and my mom and dad. We packed our bags and drove to Mexico. When we got to Mexico we un packed and we went to the beach. All my cousins were at the beach. After we went to the beach we played at the house. The house was huge! It was three stories and could sleep twelve people! We went out and the deserts I got was delicious. We stayed for two nights. The next day we packed our bags and left to go home. The border was a three hour wait and it was so boring. The food court in the middle of the border looked and smelled so good and finely I got a churro. When we got home I was so happy to see my dogs. I had an amazing time at Mexico.

  Shopping in Mexico. Bug face!!!!

Wonderful White Tigers

By Annika Warrick

White tigers are beautiful animals. White tigers are strong and powerful animals. White tigers weigh up to 300kg and reaches more than 3 meters in length. They have orange tinge to their white colored fur. The white tiger has black or dark brown stripes that run vertically along its body. White tigers parents determine whether they have blue eyes rather than green or yellow colored eyes of normal Bengal tigers.

We don’t want to lose the magnificent white tigers. The white tigers have once been found in much of India and surrounding countries. Their ranges have decreased dramatically, particularly over the past 100 years or so. Today in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, populations have severely dropped.

Baby white tigers are very cute. Male and female white tigers are attracted to one another by their roars and sent marks. Once they mate, the male and female go their separate ways. Female white tigers give up to 5 cubs, which are blind and weight roughly 1kg each. They can have either white or orange fur.

White tigers have a lot of cool facts about them, swimming. Along with the Bengal tiger, the white tiger is considered to be the second largest species of tigers in the world after the Siberian tiger. White tigers have an average lifespan of 12 years.

White tigers have an appetite for boar, cattle, goat, and deer. The white tiger is a carnivore animal meaning that it only hunts and eats other animals in order to get the nutrition that it needs.

White tigers are endangered animals. They are captured and hunted for their beauty. The white tigers have lost of a significant chunk of their historic range to deforestation for growing human settlements. With the loss in forest there is also a decline in the white tigers pry so populations are becoming increasingly hard to sustain. White tigers are wonderful animals!
