This Is Absolutely The CUTEST Animal On Earth
THE HOUSE IN THE FOREST
Mark and John were driving to a lake, Mark drove while john tried to use a map. when they arrived they unpacked the car and went camping, later when they were packing up, a bear tracked down the fishes smell to the boys . the bear jumped out of a bush and as the door was closing the boys ran for the vegetation on the edge of the forest.Mark and John with their lungs panting were jumping over fallen logs and sliding under thorny branches. after a while they stopped running, “do you think he’s gone?” John asked, “probably”Mark replied, “then lets head back” John said, “and risk getting eaten by that bear.” Mark retorted. they both decided to stay the night at an abandoned house.
That evening John wanted to go catch some fish at a nearby waterfall while Mark explored the house. John cast the line into the river above the waterfall. He felt a tug on his fishing pole as it arched. Then he pulled as hard as he could, and a fish flopped onto the shallow sandbar but it didn’t go unnoticed. the bear smelled the fish right away and charged at John but the bear tripped and fell off the waterfall, John shouted” INSTANT KARMA”.While John was flailing his arms around mark had found stairs leading up, mark was heading upstairs when there was a hallway stove and a door to the left.
As mark entered the room there was an wall full of flintlock muskets an mark said “this must be a revolutionary war armory. he whisked around and john was behind him,”hi”said john, Mark asked “do you have any fish?” “Not at the moment” John said.when they woke up John said he’d seen a small tower near the pond, they packed what they could and walked up to it, there was a door. The door was old so they kicked it open and to the left lay an old remington rifle. On the other corner was, well a corner. Mark picked up the gun and they continued on their way. Ther was one thing though, there was a metal fence and with barbed wire on top. “How are we going to get up there?”Mark said, “over there ” John replied. There was a stack of stones and they were just high eSonough to jump over the fence. They were walking through the forest and they saw a bear, mark shot at it but missed and didn’t have time to reload. The bullet ricocheted off a rock, hit a branch and the branch fell on the bear, paralyzing it on the spot. A clearing appeared and they saw their car on the side of the road were they left it.
The Civil War
“America’s bloodiest clash, the sectional conflict of the Civil War pitted the Union against the Confederate States of America and resulted in the deaths of more than 620,000, with millions more injured.” (history.com).The Civil War was from 1861 to 1865. The war took place in the United States of America. The war was about the Southern states not agreeing with the Northern states on the issue of slavery. The South believed in slavery while the Union did not. After years of bloody and terrible battles, the Union won. The Civil War had many battles, but few held great importance. The battle of Antietam is important to view the battle plan and details, what happened during the battle, and why this battle was important.
First, it’s important to know the battle facts about Antietam. The Battle of Antietam happened at Antietam Creek in Maryland on September 17, 1862. The Union had 87,000 forces engaged while the Confederacy only had 45,000 soldiers. The Union army was lead by General George McClellan. He was an extremely cautious man, a bit too cautious. During this battle, he had a chance to beat the Confederacy but he was too cautious and didn’t attack for many days. “Had McClellan attacked the next day, he might have finished off Lee’s army. But this was McClellan, remember. McClellan held back which allowed the Confederate troops to cross the Potomac River and get back to Virginia.” (History & Geography) The Confederate General was Robert E. Lee and he was known for his odd attack plans that always seemed to work out. This was America’s bloodiest day in history.
Secondly, the Battle of Antietam was very intense and many people died. Four days before the battle, a Union soldier found a piece of paper floating down a river. Out of curiosity he caught it and opened it up. Inside were three cigarettes but the most important part was that the paper had an outline of General Robert E. Lee’s plan of attack. Lee wanted to defeat the Union on Union territory. His plan was to try to defeat them in Maryland, because the people of Maryland believed in the Confederacy’s cause. On September 17, the Union advanced first. “Union troops advanced into the Confederate lines by attacking near a church and cornfield. But the Rebels held together and streamed back across the field.” (Scholastic, 13). Next, McClellan hesitated, as the Confederacy troops were weak and the battle continued. Finally, the Union won the battle and Lee returned to Virginia.
Last, the Battle of Antietam was very important. This Union victory lead to the Emancipation Proclamation. Abraham Lincoln was waiting for something to happen that could boost the Union’s spirits, and this battle victory did it. The Emancipation Proclamation was a law that freed all slaves. “More significantly it changed the goal of war to one not only to preserve the Union but also to end slavery.” (Freedom: A History of the U.S.) It did not do anything during the war because the South wasn’t a part of the Union anyway. Lincoln made this law so that when the Union won, slavery would already be outlawed. The Battle of Antietam lead to ending of the war as it boosting many United State’s spirits.
In conclusion, the Battle of Antietam was very significant to the Civil War. The Civil War was a time when the United States changed for the better. Because of this war, slavery was outlawed forever. After the war, the United States was reunited and the South was very unhappy. The most important part was slaves were free.

Loving Daisy
What comes to mind when I say the word pet? A pet is loving and gentle. Pets are great companions because they are very loving and fluffy. In Wonder August had a dog named Daisy. In my opinion Daisy was a great companion because she was loving, fair and was concerned about him.
Daisy was a very loving dog to everyone, especially August. Based on what I read, Daisy was loving to Auggie all the time. According to the text, Daisy looks out the window and waits for August to come home from from school. This shows that she is extremely loving.
Also, Daisy thinks that everybody’s face is as pale as the moon. She looks at everybody fairly. She treats everybody with equality. On page 82 it says that to Daisy’s eyes August’s face doesn’t look any different than other people because they all look alike to her little doggy eyes.
Daisy is a concerned dog because she tries to make everything all right. From my reading, I know that when August was mad at Jack, Daisy tried to make everything ok. Daisy helps because when something is wrong, Daisy is used as a comfort.
Now that you have heard of Daisy being a good pet, you can see why Daisy is such a good companion for August. I would love to have a dog like Daisy because she is loyal and a boys best friend. Daisy must be a very good dog.

Dear Lucy,
I am so sorry you feel this way. I will send you some books. The books that I give you all your mothers from childhood. I am so sorry that you do not like the boarders. Mr. Coogan sounds very mean. It was not right that he smacked prairie and Mama never said a word. Jimmy whiskers sounds like a nice man. It is very nice of him to put up a shelf for you even though it wobbles it still works. Jimmy whiskers is the exact opposite of Mr. Coogan.
It is not so rude that the borders eat mama’s food, as if it was fancy cooking sent to you by the Vanderbilts in New York. I like the way you changed your name, because Lucy sounds better than California, it sounds more fancy. I hope that you feel better after you get my present.
If you wish, and your mother will allow it, you can stay with us in your mothers old room. We feel very sorry that your mother has dragged you to someplace you do not like. We miss you and love you with all our heart. You must miss grammas great cooking, we sure do miss you.
Love,
Your grampop

exploring
Did you know that a lot of space in forests are undiscovered. If its underwater or its on land, either way you can find misty caverns or deep,dark caves. Imagine if you found a new type of plant. or if you found a new species.
how to help forests
Sadly many forests are being cut down or engulfed in flames. You can stop this by not feeding the animals. put out the fire at night, and don’t spill oil.
