I am going to write two cool stories I read. I’ll compare and contrast ” Danny Dragonbreath , When Fairies Go Bad” by “Ursla Vernon” and ” The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” by “Lucy Corvino”.
There are some similarities. First of all, they are both detectives. They also find clues that lead to more clues. They also don’t have animals. Both stories are fictional.
Although they have many similarities, there are also differences. In ” Danny Dragonbreath , When Fairies Go Bad”he is a dragon. In ” The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” he is a human. In ” Danny Dragonbreath, When Fairies Go Bad” he is eleven. In ” The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” he’s thirty – six. In ” Danny Dragonbreath, When Fairies Go Bad” he has two helpers. In ” The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” he has only one helper. In ” Danny Dragonbreath, When Fairies Go Bad” he fights fairies. In ” The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” he doesn’t fight anything.
In conclusion, both books were exciting. I enjoyed the intensity. My favorite book was…

The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes!

The article I will be doing is ” Shed That Sweet Tooth” by ” Allee Manning”. This is about reducing the consumption of sugar.

Humans are consuming to much sugar. Allee says” the WHO reports that for children in Europe, sugar intake can be higher”. Sugar is really very unhealthy for us. Allee says “there’s solid

evidence that reducing sugar intake reducing the risk of overweight, obesity and tooth decay. (Allee). Humans should reduce sugar intake and increase eating fruits and vegetables.” But it’s hard reduce   unless all your eating is fruit. (Allee) Sugar is very hard to resist. ” while sweet treats can taste good, WHO has set new dietary guidelines.

There are some similarities in these two stories.

First of all, they are both poor. They go somewhere to get food. In both stories they’re kids. They both see grandparents. In both stories they go to school. This is a good paragraph.

“Although They have similarities, there are differences. In “romona” they drive a car. “In pants” they drive a carriage. In “pants” they live on a farm. In “Ramona” they live in a house” they left the house.”      In “pants” there mama is coming. In “romona” nobody is coming. In “romona” there are 4 people. In “pants” there are 5 people.

In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed the most was finding out who and what the ghosts were in “pants.”

The “Thing”

By Jonah Figueroa

Once there was a thing,

that loved to sing.

He saw a pie,

but he didn’t eat it because it would die.

Then he saw a pig,

that did

a little jig.

He saw some plastic,

That was acting bombastic.

Then he swam in a lake,

called lake jake.

There was an archer,

that had a ice-cream parlor.

He saw a house,

inside was a Mouse.

He saw cat,

that Is fat.

He ate a potato,

his friend was a tomato.

He saw a pug,

wrapped in a rug.

He saw a blower,

this poem starts over!

Sea urchins have an interesting reproduction cycle. Birth is predicted to begin at Spring and fall. Sperm and eggs exit through the gonophores, (top of the body). A sea urchin lays millions of eggs. A baby will not hatch for many months.

These are some cool facts of my animal. A sea urchins size can be up to 10cm. Their spikes have poison that makes things numb. Red Sea urchins can live up to be 200 years old. Although they don’t see they are  sensitive to light, touch and to sound.

They have a eccentric way of eating. Their favorite food is algae. Sea urchins are not endangered. Sea urchins are not protected by law. Sea urchins are very cool!
