“The Two Scary Stories”

By Jessica Tran

I am going to write about two scary stories I read. I will compare and contrast, “Help! A Vampires Coming!” by Abby Klein and Halloween Fraidy-Cat” by Abby Klein. There are some similarities in these two amazing stories. Both stories are about really scary moments.

First of all, Halloween Fraidy-Cat also worries about goblins and monsters. In Help! A Vampires Coming, the story is about vampires. These stories are both similar because they are both about Freddy and his fears. In the stories Freddy over comes his fear through friends.

Although both stories have a lot of similarities, there are specific differences.  In “ Halloween Fraidy-Cat,” the main setting is at a Halloween party. In “Help! A Vampires Coming!” the main setting is at  his house and school. Both are different because In “Help! A Vampires Coming!” he does not wear a costume instead he wears pajamas.

In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed the part when Freddy over comes his fears f goblins and monsters. My favorite was “ Help! A Vampires Coming!” because it has scary parts and happy moments.

” Sugar Rush Overload”

By Jessica Tran

The article I will write about is called ” Shed That Sweet Tooth” ” By Allee Manning. This article is about cutting back on sugar in our diets.

Manning is telling us to cut back on sugar because if you eat to much sugar it is bad for your health. Manning says, ” But it’s very hard to avoid large amounts of sugar unless all you’re eating is fruits and vegetables.” United States, Europe, and Wetern societies should take back on 10% average sugars and calories. Manning says,” The WHO recommends that people in the United States, Europe, and other Western societies should cut their average sugar intake by about two-thirds, or down to just 10% of their overall calories.” In som

e countries dental care is less advanced and cavities are more difficult to prevent. ” The WHO recommends that sugar intake be reduced 5%.” Manning says.

In conclusion we should cut back on sugar because it is bad for you and your health. People should try to eat more fruit and vegetables. As the saying goes ” An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.”

I am going to write about two sassy stories I read. I will compare and contrast, ” Pepita Talks Twice” by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman and ” Ramona Quimby, Age 8 ” by Beverly Cleary.

There are some similarities in these two sassy stories. Both stories are about girls who like to talk back to their family.

First of all, in ” Pepita Talks Twice” she gets mad because she has to say everything in both Spanish and English. She also yells at her family members about this. In ” Ramona Quimby Age, 8″She yells at her parents about doing her chores. Even though both are girls are very sassy, the stories have happy endings.

Although both stories have a lot of similarities,here are specific difference. In ” Pepita Talks Twice” Pepita speaks two languages and talks to herself. Also Pepita does not daydream. In ” Ramona Quimby Age,8″ she loves to daydream. Ramona only speaks one language. In ” Ramona Quimby Age,8″ they might lose their house. How ever, Pepita’s family does not have these worries. As a result, Ramona is a worrier, while Pepita is not a worrier.

In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed reading these amazing stories because they have ups and downs but they keep it together. Also both girls in the stories learned a valuable lesson. My favorite story is ” Ramona Quimby, Age 8 ” because she is sassy and dramatic.

By Jessica Tran

Once upon a time,

there was a lime.

He started a crime,

to go look at a mime.

He couldn’t say shoe,

and he was blue.

The mime looked for a clue,

To try to say moo.

The clue was not found,

so he couldn’t make a sound.

So he went to the pound,

and met a big hound.

The hounds name was Dory,

who was very glory.

And also snory,

his friends name was Cory.

Dory was really fat,

and had a big hat.

That was on the mat,

with his friend Mr.Cat.

This is a story about John Muir, who was a naturalist. He was born in Dunbar, Scotland, over 150 years ago. As a kid, John loved to search for wildlife. When John was 10 years old, news that California miners had struck gold made its way to the tiny village of Dunbar. As soon as his family heard the news they headed to America.

When his family made it to America, they moved to Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, they became farmers.  Wisconsin was a good place to grow wheat, and John spent a lot of time working outside. He loved to explore the wilderness, and learn from his surroundings. When John turned 15, he wanted to learn more. He convinced his father to buy him books, that way when he finished them he can trade with his neighbors. When John was not working, he was inventing. John invented a thermometer, a barometer, and a fire starter.

John soon headed to the fair with his three inventions, on his own. When he took his three inventions everyone was surprised because no one there had ever seen inventions like his before. He won a $15 prize and got offered a job. John took the job so he can save money to go to College, which was his real dream. When John made enough money he signed up for college.

During the civil war, John moved to Canada to study plants. For the next 10 years, this was John’s life. John traveled to many places. John even walked 1,000 miles from Kentucky to Florida! While he was exploring and learning about the different wonders of the land he realized that a lot of redwood trees were cut down, and a lot of plants were being destroyed.

When John saw the trees being cut down, he wrote articles and letters to newspapers. In the letters, and articles John wrote about how beautiful the wilderness is, and how it is about to be destroyed. Once John’s letters and articles took action, John made up a club named the Sierra Club.  The Sierra Club worked to protect the wilderness. John’s dedication to the environment inspired the nation that even the government decided to protect the national parks. Thanks to John Muir, Americans can still explore, and enjoy the wilderness that we are so lucky to have today.

Once upon a time there was a horse named Glitter who lived in rainbows and ate candy for power. Glitter the horse can turn into different shapes of animals. Glitter the horse can fly with her beautiful wings that light up at night. Glitter uses her power to save people when they’re hurt. Glitter had an a alarm that tells her when people need help.

One day the alarm went off and a pony named Crystal needed help. Crystal hurt her ankle at recess. So Glitter flew as fast as she could. She used all her powers. Her powers did not work. Glitter did not get to finish her candy for power. Glitter had to go back home for more power and then flew back when she got power. Glitter used all her power and now Glitter and Crystal went back home and they both went to bed. When Glitter and Crystal were sleeping they both dreamed about saving more people. The End

“Beautiful Pegasus”

By Jessica Tran

Pegasus is the most magnificent Greek god. Pegasus is a beautiful winged horse who sprang from the body of Medusa. Pegasus’ parents are Poseidon and Medusa. Pegasus was born when Medusa got her head cut off by Perseus. Pegasus is a good hearted, gentle creature and always eager to help. Zeus honored him with special immortality turning Pegasus into a constellation on the last day of his life. During his adventure including his slaying of the chimera when Bellorophon attempted to fly Pegasus to Mount Olympus, he was dismounted by Zeus. Pegasus continued on and made it to Mount Olympus, where he spent days carrying lighting bolts for Zeus. Pegasus is a beautiful creature because the mythical creature has influenced much music and is in many band names, records and songs now and days.
