Far to the north, in a land called Orkney, a man of the fisher-folk lived in peace. He lived in a hamlet forgotten in time, and worked at the docks mending sails and burning kelp, as would a man of his station in the winter months. One day, in the cold, wintertide months, when the Mither o’ the sea is weakest, the man, named Mawnus was walking home when he heard a whisper say “Don’t cross any water, thou WILL DROWN!!”

“Blasted Crap!!!” screamed Mawnus, “The Nuckelavee!!!!” He was terrified at the appearance of the monster, which looked like this:

The Nuckelavee swayed to “meet” Mawnus. Mawnus sprinted to a freshwater loch, hoping that the myth that freshwater would stop the Nuckelavee from catching him was true. He dove in the loch, swimming to the other side, and looked up. The monster was gone. He sighed in relief, and fainted.

In this Unit of Notes, we learned about the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the fall of Communist Russia. We also learned about Mao’s bad rule of Communist China (fail!). Finally we learned about the fall of apartheid and Nelson Mandela

The Arab and Israeli conflict is very conflicted. Israel’s war of independence and Six Day War was a couple points that put Israel on the map for being a rising power. The Arabian states response to this was a non-stop terror attacks ever since. After 9/11, the USA response to the attacks were terrorizing. The future remain uncertain.

Did you know the  Egyptians entombed the living as well as the dead? Some pharaohs buried cats, slaves, and even sometimes their wives!

The Alien Ruling Earth Theory

Some people think the world is dominated by a alien human partnership. They believe the worlds governments are controlled/joint partnership with aliens. The enforcers of the partnership are the men in black. There has been many sightings of the men in black over the years. It hit mainstream culture with the movie “Men in Black.” The men wore black suits and told the viewers of the Alien spaceships/ Bigfoot to not tell anybody about what they saw.

In the 1960’s the civil rights movement was started. When Rosa Parks was arrested, it set off a revolution of peacefulness. The buses were boycotted, all because of segregation (segregation is the racist belief that white and blacks are supposed to be separate.) After people protested for a years congress voted to end segregation.

In the 1960’s Vietnam was a troubled place. Because of the US’s meddling in foreign politics, we were in a long and expensive war. A little commuist state warred with the US for 20 YEARS!!! Meanwhile in the US the feminist and environment movement’s started up. People like Ceaser Chavez and Betty Freidan brought it too the public.

Edgar Allen Poe was born on jan. 19 1809. He had a troubled childhood. He married his cousin and when she died, he took up drinking. Poe wrote a lot of stories like “the Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Gold-bug”. He is a “Great” writer and he died October 7 1849. This is a poem dedicated to Poe.

The fire cackles,

the ice whispers,

something is burning,

The juices spit and gibber,

the fat burning,

the hunter waiting for some venison.

the red eyes stare in the darkness,

Fear, hate and pain,

he waits for sleep,

No nightmares.

Title: The Help

Author: Kathryn Stockett

Genre: Historial Fiction

Review-

The Help is a great book, but a little slow. The plot is not kickstarted until a quarter into the book. It is a tenuous read at first, but is great when you are at the good portion of the book. The three narrators are amazing and the villain has good reasons for being mean and it has a good plot. I would rate the book a 4 out of 5 because of the slowness.
