Once there was a cat
who’s name was Mat, he likes hats.
Mat’s hats had holes,
so he went to Kohls.
So he bought some shoes,
Then he bought some hats,
Then he walked home,
and combed his hair.

I am going to write about two funny stories I read. I will compare and contrast, “Diary of a Wimpy kid,” by Jeff Kinney and “Big NATE” by Lincoln Peirce.
There are some similarities in these two humorous stories. Both stories are about young boys that think they are destined for greatness but things don’t usually work out well for them.
First of all, in the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” the character comes up with ideas that he thinks will make him popular. In “Big Nate” he is always taking bad advice, like from a fortune cookie. He ends up misusing this advice and getting detention. Both characters have similarities. For example, both characters are in middle school and don’t have many friends. And, both characters are troublemakers. Other similarities between these stories include, that both Nate and Greg like to draw pictures and both have best friends that are a central part of the stories.
Although both stories have lot of similarities, there are specific differences. In “Big Nate,” Nate is always looking for shortcuts. Greg, from “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” gets himself in trouble by doing things he regrets. Basically, he makes a lot of bad decisions and doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes. Other differences between “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Big Nate” are that Nate has an older sister but, Greg has an older brother. Another difference is that in “Big Nate,” the story is always about a single day. In “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” the story is set over a year.
In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed both stories because they crack me up. My favorite was in “ BIG NATE” that his fortune comes true.

You’ll love to learn about gorillas because they are so cool and awesome! A gorilla’s fur is very thick. Did you know the color gorilla’s fur is gray, brown, and black? Gorillas weigh up to 300 to 425lb.
Gorillas live in exotic places like the rain forest. One of the places is the dense forest. Gorillas live in these places like Uganda, Congo, Nigeria, and the African Republic.
Baby gorillas are so cute! Mother gorillas have a slow rate of reproduction. Females give birth for the first time at about age two and will have more off spring every three or four years.
Gorillas are very loving. Gorillas sleep from 6p.m. to 6a.m. Gorillas are shy, but not around family. Gorillas wake up at 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Gorillas eat at 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

The story of the incredible Hercules. Hercules was the Roman name for the Greek hero. Hercules was one of the greatest, most legendary heroes of ancient Greek times! All the gods knew that Hercules was half man and half God.
Hercules mother was a mortal, and his father Zeus was the king of all gods. Hercules grew up loved and noble. Hercules was sent to live with a mortal family on earth because Juno Jupiter’s wife was very jealous of him she tried many ways to kill him. June sent large snakes into his crib, but Hercules’ incredible strength allowed him to crash them.

Yosemite is by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Yosemite has the most amazing waterfalls and the clearest water. It looked like glass. The air was crisp at the camp ground. The pine trees were beautiful. The gray mountains reminded me of winter on the top. I hiked one of the tallest mountains and on the tallest mountain the scenery was breathtaking. Yosemite is very beautiful. I would love to go again.

A very special time in my life was when I was 7 years old. I went to Yosemite with my family. We arrived at a condo. Then we went on a hike. I saw mountain lion and I flipped out. I also saw a fox. We camped out that night. At the end of our hike we hiked to the water fall, I swam in it the water was cold. We roasted marshmallows. After 4 days, we said good bye and caravaned home.

Once there was a boy who loved water very much. He was a good boy, but did not always listen to the advice of his parents. One day he decided to make a boat, so he could explore the ocean. Once he finished the boat he took off. He was very excited to set out. He told his parents he would be gone for the whole day. His parents told him to pack some warm clothes and food. But right before he was going to walk out the door, his father warned him about going out to sea alone.
Once he got out to sea, he saw many fascinating creatures that he had never seen before. He saw sharks, he saw turtles and he saw many different types of fish. After a long time, he decided to head home. But then a very powerful wave came and the wind picked up. And then soon he was in the middle of a storm.
His Father told the only way to get out of the storm was to go to the eye of the storm. When he found it, he was out of the storm but not for very long. Soon the waves pushed him back into the open sea. The waves were huge and he tried his best to keep the boat steady. Then the waves were so large, they knocked the boat over, and he was knocked out from the boat capsizing and hitting his head.
He woke in his house, all dry and clean. And he realized that it was all a dream. What he learned was to listen to his dad. The end.
