” Two Amazing Stories ” by Soren Donahue

I shall write about two interesting stories I have read. I’m going to compare and contrast “A Wrinkle In Time” by Madeline L Engle and ”Howl’s Moving Castle” by Diana Wynne Jones.

There are some similarities in these two stories. Both are eccentric to read. First of all, in both stories they travel to other worlds (In “Howl’s moving Castle” other worlds means Earth, the United Kingdom, in the country Whales). In both stories there are abnormal characters such as Charles Wallace from ”A Wrinkle In Time” and Howl and Sophie from ”Howl’s Moving Castle.”In both stories, stars are live beings such as Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which in ”A Wrinkle In Time”and Calcifer the shooting star in ”Howls Moving Castle.” In both stories they talk to stars that are no longer part of the sky. In both stories they travel to worlds more advanced in technology.

Although there are many similarities, there are also specific differences. In ”A Wrinkle In Time” they travel to Camazotz and another uncivilized world from Earth. In ”Howl’s Moving Castle” they travel from the land of Ingary to Whales, the United Kingdoms. In ”A Wrinkle In Time” they meet three dormant stars named, Mrs.Whatsit, Mrs. Who,and Mrs. Which. In ”Howl’s Moving Castle” there is one fire demon/shooting star named Calcifer. In ”A Wrinkle In Time” they are in the 1900s and travel to a futuristic world. In ”Howls Moving Castle” there main world is in about the 1700s, and they travel to Whales in the 1900s. In ”A Wrinkle In Time” they live in America and they have a president. In ”Howl’s Moving Castle” they live in Ingary and have a king. In ”A Wrinkle In Time” the main character is involved with scientists, and they do not  have magic in the world. In ” Howl’s Moving Castle” the main character is involved with wizards and they have magic peoples.

In conclusion, both stories were fascinating to read. I enjoyed the diversity of both stories. My favorite story was ”Howls Moving Castle”because of the good characters and plot such as the Witch of the Waste and Sophie and Calcifer.

Have you put up a cable before?How about one thats 500 feet long? It’s a historic notion but it’s dangerous,it’s in this argumentive essay that you will learn about the cables purpose how long it is and diffuculties  with space suits.

It took 5 and a half hours to put up the space cable which purpose serves a faster way of getting to ISS, International Space Station from Cape Canavrel in Florida to ISS.From (Space Walk To Remember) “Despite the tricky nature of the misson, the pair wrapped up the work in 5 and a Half hours.”They had to do three space walks to put up the cable.From(Space Walk To Remember)”The Space Walk was the third in just eight days”They had to unravel 400 feet of cable in one of their space walks.From (Space Walk To Remember) On Sunday, station commander Barry, Butch Wilmore and flight engineer Terry Virts installed to sets of antenna and 400 feet of cable outside ISS International Space  Station.”One of the problems that might occur is that your space suit might manufacture which makes putting up the space cable extremely dangerouse.From(Space Walk To Remember) “On both last Wednesday and Sunday Virts reported having water in his helmet in his helmet once he was back inside the ISS.

In Conclusion,the space cable was a good idea,though putting up the heavy  space cable must have been an extremely diffulcult job, but was put up skillfully and carefully making the mission successful.

“Two Amazing Stories”

By Soren Donahue

I am going to write about two eccentric stories I read. I am going to compare and contrast Papas New Pants, by Anglea Shelf Medaeris, and Ramona Quimby Age 8, by Beverly Cleary

There are some similarities in these two strange stories.Both stories are curiously eccentric. First of all they are both poor. In both stories they go to a place containing candy in it. In both stories the main characters are both kids. In both stories they both meet grandparents. Both children go to school.Both children are afraid of strangers.

Although both stories have a lot of similarities there are many differentses. In ” Papas New Pants”they drive a cairrage.In ” Ramona Quimby Age 8″ they drive a car. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8″they drive a car.In “Papas New Pants”they live on a farm.In “Ramona Quimby Age 8″ they live in the city.In ” Papas New Pants” they leave the house to go to the store to get stuff from the store.In ” Ramona Quimby Age 8″ they  go to the restraunt to inprove the family mood.” We’re all going to be happy and smile if it kills us.”page 223 In “Papas New Pants” the papa is a farmer. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8″ there father is a farmer.In ” Ramona Quimby Age 8″  there father is a checker training for another job in college.In ” Papas New Pants”  the boy is raised by his grandparents. In ” Ramona Quimby Age 8″ the girl is raised by her parents.In ” Papas New Pants ” the boy is silly. In ” Ramona Quimby Age 8″the girl has an altitude.

In conclusion, both stories were both fun to read.I liked the mysterious man in ” Ramona Quimby Age 8″ and finding out who the ghosts were in “Papas New Pants”. I enjoyed ” Papas New Pants Pants”because of the boy being so scared of his grandmas and Aunt because they were ghosts. Thanks for reading.

Who stole my garment,

I was about to knock him with my axe,

Then he started to play the sax,

A traveler came down the road and he looked as if he swallowed a toad,

He looked at the sax,

And said it could pay tax,

I said back off you old lax,

Or I ‘ll knock you with my axe,

Then I chased that old toad down the road,

Then that marmot ran,

That old scram,

I rammed him with my axe,

And he dropped his sax,

I shoved him into a rock,

And it gave him a shock,

Then I asked him if he’d do my a task,

And he said I’d rather pick up a flask with a mask,

I tied him to my door,

Out in a deserted moor,

Then he said let me go you hen,

Then he said THE END.

My Santa Fe Road trip, by Soren Donahue

The most memorable time in my life was when I went with my brother, my sister and my mom,we said goodbye to the cats, and started to Santa Fe, New Mexico watching sand dunes fly by are windows.

We stopped briefly at Yuma and got out.We drove past Phoenix.As we were driving I saw cactus the ones with arms and stickers.Then we stopped in Sedona where I saw high mesas and rocks of the color red(because of the Iron in the rocks).The sunsets golden light made the mesas glow brant illy,the Mountains and mesas ahead also glowed with splendor.We stayed the night in Sedona, than continued on our way through the mountains and open forests.Then we came upon a dusty plain. We drove up the crater.The plain was devoid of life except lizards.Then we drove until we came to mesas and crossed into New Mexico.It was evening when we reached the house, with its adobe style( which most houses in New Mexico have) and went to bed.

The next morning I awoke to see the trees glowing. Later in the day I explored the woods with with my brother Conor, crossing over dry creek beds. Then returning home and climbing up the porch into the house.The week passed.On Monday we watched the sunset that made the old volcano in the blue mountains look like it was exploding again.The next days sunset looked like red mist.We walked down to the plaza the last day.On the way I saw a baby snake.   The End

Nicolaus Copernicus By Soren Donahue

Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun Poland, February 19th, 1473. He was one of the first people to disagree with the Catholic church. He would change the way people thought about space. His name was Mikolaj Kopernik, but later his name was changed to Nicolaus Copernicus.

When Copernicus was alive they had not invented telescopes yet, so people knew very little about space. Astronomers wrote down what they saw. They wanted to understand how the sun and planets moved in the sky, and they used mathematics to figure out the patterns in the sky. When Copernicus was ten his father died. Copernicus’s uncle took over the family. Education was important to him and his name was Lucas Watzenrode. They went to school instead of working. Uncle Lucas paid for them to go to University of Cracow, his old college.

Like any college student, Nicolaus studied a variety of subjects. One of his favorites was astronomy. No one had invented Telescopes yet so people believed that only thing they could see in the night sky was how big the universe was. In his Astronomy class they taught that the earth was the center of the universe, and all of the other planets and the stars orbited around the earth. After Copernicus graduated from college he was still hungry to learn. He decided to go to school in Italy. Copernicus was smart and hard working.He not only studied to be a lawyer but also studied to be a doctor as well as ancient Greek and Astronomy.

Copernicus stayed in college until he was thirty years old. Finally, he had to get a job. Copernicus went to work for his uncle who was now the Bishop of Warmia. As busy as he was, Copernicus still managed to have time for astronomy. As he did the math to go with his observations, one problem kept nagging at him: the pattern of the planets movements seemed to complicated. Putting Earth at the center of the universe wouldn’t fit. This meant that the earth was not the center of the universe. But what then was the center of the universe? The sun he thought. Earth revolves around the sun. Who would believe it? That the Earth was the center of the universe had been easy to believe because the sun seemed to cross the sky during the day.

Copernicus used an example by saying that: if you were in a row boat the shore would seem to move away from you when really you were moving away from it. Copernicus wrote the a book to convince people about his theory. Copernicus worked on his book for 30 years. He met a mathematics professor who published his book. He was 70 years old when he finally passed away on the 24th of May 1543. Unfortunately he did not live to see his book’s eventual success.

The Angry Fish

Once Opon a time, not to far in the future,only a couple months there lived a giant Tuna Fish. One day he came exploring in the harbor when he saw a large wharf with a market on it. Hundreds of dead fish with their eyes popped out and the ice surrounding the area was blood red.Then Blue One saw his brother Yèllow One.He shouted in disgust spraying spit over the fisherman on the docks. Everyone in the harbor turned and looked at Blue One.He shouted and swam fast to the opening in the harbor.

Seething with rage he decided to go to Old Octopus, a bit of a queer fellow, but the wisest animal in the Sea. As he entered the hut of old Octopus he heard a loud bang and a colum of blue smoke erupted from the hut.By the time the smoke cleared Old Octopus was looking at him Yes…He said sarcastically.You know why I’m here he shouted.You got my form! Blue One calm yourself. Blue One then calmed down.Then he started to explain why he was he was here.I need to rally the animals around the world to attack those bald disgusting things that call themselves humans.

Around the world asked Old Octopus. Around the world assured Blue One.   I had such an object but it was stolen from my by what humans call..crickens… no..Crackers..In fish asked Blue One.You don’t have the word in fish replied Old Octopus.Where do they live asked Blue One.

At bedrock trench Blue One looked over the edge and thought he saw something glimmering in the darkness before something hit him on the head and he cried out in pain.He shreicked a chosen swear word fishes funny furbone that his mother would have beaten him over the head for saying.He swam for ward in time to avoid another hit on the head.He spun around in time to see a creature with long tentacles with to gigantic eyes swim toward him.He ducked another blow.Then he slammed his tail down on the creatures head.It stopped charging and it sank to the trenches floor.Blue One raced down the trench.

He picked up the moonstone with his tail and zoomed out to Old Octopuses hut.Back at Old Octopuses house he tapped the moonstone 3 times and a Giant image of himself appeared around the world.Animals, how long have humans destroyed are habitants and hunted us to exstintion! Now we fight back! So he sent monkeys to attack  Bombay, and Tigers to attack Docka, and Inpalas to attack Harare and Rhinos to attack Cape Town and Camals to attack Cairo.Of course Blue One sent Tuna to coastal city’s. Blue One in triumph slammed his tail down in triumph accidentally crushing the Moon stone with his tail. Then chaos rained.Things that were exstint came back to life, Dinosaurs came out of the sea.

At the human headquarters the door opened with a bang and a small asian came in and said in a exited voice said we have found a way to live on the moon! Impossible! Shouted the leader of Afghanistan.Then the officer said in a cold voice. No sir it’s not.Three day later from the deck of the Venture they said evacuate the Earth. Humans flew up on spaceships.The moon was now full of plants lakes and rivers. Extinct animals somehow followed.Then they left a nice world to the animals.But someone was there before the humans.There were cities and machines on the moon plus fields of strange crops.

To be continued…
