Two Epic Stories by Patrick Studebaker

      I am going to write about two epic stories I read. I will compare and contrast “How to Eat Fried Worms” by Thomas Rockwell and “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B White.

      There are some similarities in these two epic stories. Both stories are very fun to read.
First of all, both stories have animals in them. “Charlotte’s Web” has barn animals in it and “How to Eat Fried Worms” has worms in it. The stories are also both fiction. Last of all, the main characters are both trying to reach a goal.

      Although both stories have a lot of similarities, they also have specific differences. In “How to Eat Fried Worms,” the main character is a boy. In “Charlotte’s Web,” the main character is a spider. In “How to Eat Fried Worms,” they are eating the animals. In “Charlotte’s Web,” they are trying to save the pig from getting eaten. In “How to Eat Fried Worms,” they did not go to a fair. In “Charlotte’s Web,” they did go to a fair

      In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed how in “How to Eat Fried Worms” the boy ate a worm with nothing on it. My favorite was “Charlotte’s Web” because the spider was such a great friend to Wilber the pig.

“Cool Cuddle chemical” By Patrick Studebaker

The article I will be writing about is called “Puppy Love” by Zachery Humanick. This article is about staring into a dogs eyes which causes bonding this is called Oxytocin.

Oxytocin is a cuddle chemical that increases when you look into a dogs eyes. “Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that increases bonding.” (Humanick). Nagasawa conducted a study the longer you stare into a dogs eyes Oxytocin increases. “The duration of the dog to owner gaze significantly explained the Oxytocin ratio.” (Humanick). Back in the days wolves and humans relied on each other and the wolves turned into dogs. “The wolves and humans started to depend and bond together.”( Humanick ).

In conclusion bonding with a dog is caused by Oxytocin. Nagasawa’s study showers how people bond with dogs by staring into each other’s eyes.

I am going to to write about two awesome stories I read. I will compare and contrast “Dogzilla” by Dave Pilkey and “Raising Dragons” by Jerdine Nolen.

There are some similarities in these two epic stories. Both stories were fun to read.

First of all both stories are fantasies. In both the characters like food. In both stories the characters are both animals. In both stories people were afraid.

Mary Cassatt By Patrick Studebaker

 

 

Mary Cassatt was born on May 22, 1844.

When Mary Cassatt was little she told her mom that she wanted to be a painter.

Mary Cassatt’s occupation was an Impressionism painter.  She was a painter that when you look at it close it looks all sloppy and when you look at it from far back it blends into the landscape or portrait or still life.

Impressionism changed the art world in the last half of the 1800s. Paintings had to look real before impressionism.

Mary Cassatt was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and went to school at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.  If Marry Cassatt didn’t go to this school she probably would not be this famous. This was a really good school to go to for Mary Cassatt if she wanted to be an artist.

 

 

Mary Cassatt mostly painted pictures of women and babies.  She painted mostly women and babies because she liked to paint people in natural poses and familiar settings.

When Mary Cassatt was older she moved to Paris and liked it a lot and decided to live there.

Mary Cassatt used oil paints to paint with. Other painters used water color paints but some still used oil paints.

Mary Cassatt displayed eleven works, including La Loge, in the Impressionist exhibit of 1879. La Loge is a famous painting by Mary Cassatt.

A trip to Egypt in 1910 impressed Cassatt with the beauty of it’s ancient art.

As of 2005 her, paintings have sold for $2.87 million.

It’s interesting how sea turtles make their young.The sea turtle nests on the sand.They lay between 70-190 eggs at once.When they hatch they wait until night fall to go to the ocean but only a few survives.

Sea turtles are fascinating creatures because they live on land and in water.Sea turtles spend most of their time in water.Sea turtles like salmon, will return to the same nesting grounds where they were born.When the female lays the eggs it digs a hole and lays them.They emerge at night and stay in the water until it is time to mate.

Sea turtles eat a lot but are endangered.Sea turtles eat jelly fish,crab, seaweed, shrimp, and sponges.The sea turtle is endangered because people are hunting them.
