The Adventure of Garfield

I am going to compare and contrast “Garfield Rolls On” and “Garfield Sits around the House” by Jim Davis”.  In “Garfield Sits around the House” By Jim Davis” Garfield eats way too much.  In “Garfield Rolls On” Garfield throws most of his food at John.  In “Garfield Sits around the House” Garfield breaks a big branch when he sits on it.  In “Garfield rolls on” Garfield is not that fat.

Now I am going to compare.  In “Garfield Sits around the House” and “Garfield Rolls On” In both books Garfield likes to punt Odie.  In both books Garfield is lazy and smart.  In both books Garfield and Odie fight with something or someone.  My favorite story was “Garfield Rolls On” because it was a good comedy and made laugh.

Balboa Park
By Gavin Freitas

Balboa Park is by far the biggest and most magnificent park ever. Balboa Park has a lot of museums. One of them is the botanical garden. Another is an art, history and science museum. There is also a beautiful pond with a giant fountain. There are huge trees that climb above the park. The park is spectacular and a very old place. People sell shirts in front of the theater. It is very magical.
Balboa Park is very magical enchanted place. All the museums are crowded. There are big white clouds that are puffy in the sky above. There are also two grand water fountains. Also the park lights up at night. Balboa Park is a great place to visit.
