Oh Romeo Romeo

By William Shakespeare Performed to you by Matilda Weaver

Oh Romeo Romeo oh where far out though Romeo deny thy father and refuse thy name or if though wilt not be but sworn my love or I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Shall I hear more or shall I speak at this.

Tis but thy name that is my enemy though art thyself though not a Montague what’s Montague is it nor hand nor foot nor arm nor face nor any other part belonging to a man oh be some other what’s in a name by which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet so Romeo would. Where he not Romeo called retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title Romeo doff thy name and for thy name which is no part of thee. Take all myself.

An Awesome Field Trip

By Matilda Weaver

Today we went on a field trip to SeaWorld. My mom chaperoned so I was in her group along with Emma and Liesl. We started off together with the whole class where we went on an awesome ride, saw the penguins, and went to the killer whale show, but it was educational so the killer whale didn’t splash us. No one in the class was listening to the facts abut killer whales because everyone was too busy yelling “Splash us, Splash us.” After that all the groups got to split up. We went on the awesome ride again, stood under the ride Atlantis, went to a place where these fish called cleaner fish cleaned our hands and where we pet sharks and rays.

Then we went to the shark exhibit, then the turtle exhibit where we played an awesome video game. Then we played on a Sesame Street playground. Then it was time to leave.               It was really an awesome fieldtrip!!!!!

My Neighbor Totoro

By Matilda Weaver

My Neighbor Totoro is the cutest movie ever!!! It is a Japanese movie and probably familiar with people all over Japan.  This wonderful movie is about forest spirits that live in Japan but you have to really believe in them to see them. I would like to meet spirits like the two shy ones who hop around the family’s yard, or the slightly fat and mysterious Totoro,or even the smiley slightly creepy cat bus. We would go on so many adventures. We would visit Totoro’s den which is located in the roots of a old tree. My Neighbor Totoro is such a wonderful movie, I hope you decide to watch and enjoy it!!!!

Two Tragedies

By Matilda Weaver

I am going to write about two historical stories I read. I will compare and contrast the “Earth Dragon Awakes,” by Laurence Yep and “All Stations Distress,” by Don Brown.

There are some similarities in these two incredible stories. Both stories are about tragedies. First of all both tragedies destroyed what people built. Both the victims of the tragedies were not ready. Both disasters killed lots of people. Both disasters caused lots of destruction.

Although both stories have a lot of similarities there are specific differences. In “The Earth Dragon Awakes,” the story was about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. In “All Station Distress,” the story was about the sinking of the boat Titanic. In “The Earth Dragon Awakes,” the story was historical fiction. In “All Stations Distress,” the story was nonfiction. In “The Earth Dragon Awakes,” the story takes place on land. In “All Stations Distress,” the story took place on sea. In “The Earth Dragon Awakes,” everyone was allowed to board the ferries  to escape the earthquake and fires. In “All Stations Distress,” only the wealthy passengers were allowed to board the life boats.

In conclusion both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed the excitement of the tragedies happening so suddenly. My favorite was “The Earth Dragon Awakes,” because I like how they put the fictional characters in a nonfiction background.

Operation Save The Environment

By Matilda Weaver

This article is called I will write about ” A Toy Company For Change,” by

Allee Manning. This article is about a toy company that tried to help people and the environment.

Will and Chris Haughey always wanted to help people, and volunteered to help communities. Text Evidence “As kids the brothers regularly volunteered to help communities in need. (Manning) They wanted to help people from Honduras who lived in poverty.Text Evidence “Then in 2006 Chris visited Honduras a country where more than half the population lives in poverty, for the second time. He returned home with a plan to help.” (Manning) They decided to make a toy they had seen on a trip to Germany but put a modern twist by making it magnetic. Text Evidence “The brothers decided to make children’s blocks, a drawing inspiration from the traditional wooden toys they discovered on a trip to Germany. Then they set about finding a way to put a modern twist on a classic favorite- by making the wooden blocks magnetic.” (Manning) When they cut down trees they always planted more in return to make it equal. Text Evidence ” The company also plants one, two, or three trees in place of every toy set that is produced.

In conclusion the Haughey brothers always try to help earth and it’s people. They’ll make a big change in the future. People will always admire them.

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 stories. Both are about girls who learn lessons. First of all, both girls are stubborn. Both girls hope for things.Both girls 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 to be noticed. In “Pepita Talks Twice,” Pepita has a dog named Lobo. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” Ramona has a cat named Picky picky. In “Pepita Talks Twice,” Pepita has a brother. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” Ramona has a sister.

In conclusion both stories were very exiting to read. I enjoyed how both of the girls were sassy and willing to try new things. My favorite book was “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” because I like all the risks she takes.

There once was a silly mouse,

Who lived in an old witch’s house.

The witch’s house was covered with mold,

The witches calendar was out of date,

When the mouse went to meetings he was always late.

One day the witch was sick,

The disease she had was the Nose-a pick- pick.

The witch turned into a toad,

“Help me, Help me,” the old witch crowed.

The mouse got a doctor,

But all his medicine was with the pill concocter.

The mouse was sad he could not help,

The witch turned into an old piece of kelp.

The witch was almost dead,

It did not get better when she got hit in the head.

Now she is in bed,

We think she is dead.

Doctor Mccunaral,

Says ” She is to sick we must have a funeral.”

The most special time in my life was when I went to Palm Springs for the second time. My parents and my friend picked me and my brother up from my Grammie and Grampie’s house in Escondido. We drove to Palm Springs up and down the mountain watching the Simpsons movie. When we got to our rented modern house in Palm Springs we explored the house and found a good secret hideout. We played Just Dance 4 on the Wii and we built Legos until my brothers friend came with his two brothers. I played with my friends crazy sand and we pretended to work in bakery making little things like “tubeys” (something we made up) .

We found out our room had a bathroom and that there were lights under the cabinets that you could turn on and off. We went swimming in the pool and ate pizza that made my stomach hurt. We stayed for four nights. We drove back watching Scooby Doo. We ate lunch at In N Out. I

She loved staying up all night reading adventure stories.

Stitch loved to have a friend with her on her adventures. Stitch loved to go on walks around the village. One day Stitch went on a walk and met her friend Midge. Stitch and Midge decided to walk together. They decided to walk by the river.

Stitch tripped sending her and Midge into the river. A huge fish swallowed Stitch and Midge whole. “Stitch your so clumsy, look at the mess you’ve got us in,” said Midge. The fish burped and Stitch and her friend were released. They were covered in fish slime.

“Yuck” cried Stitch and Midge. They were grossed out. They washed off in the river. They dried off with a leaf. They heard a loud crash. A tree fell to the earth Midge screamed. There was an earthquake.

Stitch and her friend ran they managed to escape the falling trees. Stitch and Midge ran into Stitch’s house. They waited until the earthquake was over. They ran back outside. They played ball and ate elf candy. They enjoyed the beautiful sunshine
