” Sugar Rush Overlode”

by: Tani Gutierrez

The article I will write about is called “Shed That Sweet Tooth” by Allee Manning. This article is about cutting back on sugar on our diets.

Manning is telling us eating too much sugar is bad for your health. Manning says, ”  But it’s vary hard to avoid large amount of sugar unless all you’re eating fruits and vegetables “. United Stats, Europe, and other Western societies should talk back on 10% of their average sugar and calaros.. Manning  says,” The HWO  recommends that people in the  united Stats , Europe, and Western societies should  cut back their average sugar in talk about two -thirds or down to just 10%of their calories.”  In some countries dental care is less advanced so they want to recuse sugar to 5%. Manning says,”for developing countries where dental care is less advanced and cataves are more difficult to present, the WHO recemends  that sugar in talk be reduced to 5%.

In conclusion  we should cut back on sugar because it is bad for you and your health. People should try to eat more fruits and vegetables. As the saying goes an “Apple “a day keeps the doctor away.

“Two sassy stories ”

by:Tani Gutierrez

I am going to write about two sassy stories I read I will compare and contrast “Pepita Talk Twice”by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman and “Roumona Quimby age, 8 by Beverly Cleary.  Their are some similarities in these two sassy stories. Both stories are about these two sassy girl that like to talk back to their family.

First of all “Pepita Talk Twice  she gets mad because she hast to say in both Spanish and Eanglesh . Pepita also yells at her family members about it. In Romona Quimby , age 8 she yells at her parents about doing her chores Even though both girls are vary sassy, the stories have happy endings.

Although both stories have a lot  of similarities, there are specific difference from  the book . In Pepita Talk Twice”Pepita speaks two languages and talk to herself. Also Pepita dose not day dream. In “Roumona Quimby age,8 she loves to day dream dream. Roumona only speaks one language. In” Ramona Quimby age, 8 Ramona’s dad hast to work, co to school and they might lose their house. However pepita’s family dose not have these  wears. As a result, Ramona is a worrier, while Pepita is not a worrier.

I conclusion, both stories we’re vary  exciting to read. I enjoy reading these two amazing stories because they had ups and downs but they stay together. Also both girls in the stories learn a valuable lessen. My favorite story  was Ramona Quimby , age 8 because she is sassy and dramatic.

They were good at gymnastics,

but they had to pick up plastic.

So they joined cheer,

and they started to get in fear.

Then they went to the olympics,

and they were tereffic.

So they went to the pacific,

so they did a frountuc.

And they turnd into chuck,

so they went to a witch.

that turned into a stitch,

Then they all turned into a witch.

So the went on a adventure and meet lealow and stitch,

then they meet Mitch.

” I have to go dig up a ditch said Mitch,

and then the map brothght them to a house.

Under the house was a mouse,

The blouse turned them into themselves,

In the 1900s, an American came along who created music with a real American sound. His name was Aaron Copland, and he is considered to be  the father of American music.

Young Aaron did not like his neighborhood very much. She thought it was boring, so he began to write songs to entertain himself.

His older sister gave him piano lessons. When Aaron was 15, he attended his first concert, and the experience changed his life .

Copland wrote music for ballet called Billy the Kid. A ballet is a story told entirely through dance. Copland wrote another ballet with a Western theme, called Rodeo.

Today, when a rodeo scene is shown on a TV show or movie, The music played in the background is based on Copland’s ballet music for rodeo. Copeland wrote the background music for eight movies, inclu

ding of mice and men in our town.

At the age of 20, Copland went to France to study music. Copland wrote many musical pieces, including symphonies that were played by large  orchestras.  He called his new style of music “symphonic jazz”.

Leonhard Bernstein, said Aaron Copland that he is “the best we have.” He will always be remembered as the first composer to create music with a true American sound.

There are big tall waves that cells up like a rollepaly. There are wonderful mountain views. There are big boulders on top of the mountains. On top there is soft could snow.

In California there are places where you can rock climb. There are trails and redwood trees. On the trails you can see a lot of bugs. But you will see a lot of nature.
