‘Twas 1942, and the green Unitato
Did poop and eat in the woods;
All scared were the mean boys,
And the old blue unibrow
Current Event 1 The mystery of the moving rocks of Death valley.
For many years scientist have ben trying to find out about moving rocks in death valley. scientist James Norris and Richard Norris found out the mystery of the moving rocks. They think the rocks move because of ice and water in the desert wind blows the ice and the ice pushes the rocks against the shallow slippery water making it move. They couldn’t prove this theory until the had proof. James and Richard set up some tools to see is it rained, if it was windy, and if there was ice. there tools did show that there was wind, ice, and rain.

Hi I am Max. I was born in San Diego on July 24, 2001, which makes me 13 years old. I’m part Canadian, it comes from my mom’s side of the family. I enjoy swimming, playing computer games and doing lots of the other kids stuff. One of the things I want to do is go skydiving, it sounds and looks so fun. When I was really little I had two cats but we gave them to someone else when my sister was born. Now I have my dog Lily, she’s an Australian Shepherd. I have a sister who is practically a devil to me, her name is Marley. My dad’s name is John and my mom’s name is Michelle. Over the summer I went to Canada to visit my grandparents and cousin. It’s really fun there, you can go fishing, wake boarding, play in the woods, and even play paintball. Paintball is one of the funnest things I like to do. I also went to a hotel in Pismo Beach where you can bring your dog with you. It was a nice, fun, family vacation. I love summer but it’s nice to be back in school, sort of. The biggest problem I have at school is paying attention. I always get distracted. I’m sure I can get through this year though. I’m also really bad at punctuating. School isn’t really my cup of tea. But I’ll try to make school as fun as I can this year. I’m looking forward to having you as my teacher this year. 🙂
Henry’s Awesome Taco Shop
WARNING: This story is so random it may kill you. Read at your own risk.
Chirp Chirp, went the birds, nesting in the rustling trees of Autumn. Under the bright yellow sun, sits Henry. He’s a small 12 year old boy with an unusually awesome green mustache, and his friend is a deformed pink bunny that is missing 4 of its ears and it now only has 7 left.
The two are talking about Tacos. “Hey bunny, do you like tacos ?” said Henry?”
The bunny said,“Yes I do … Henry do you like tacos?”,
“Henry… HENRY! … WAKE UP!”
The Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance all started from the Great Migration. The Great Migration was when all the African Americans moved North in search for jobs. The time period of Harlem Renaissance was from the 1920s to the 1930s. It brought us African American culture, including music, art, and writing. It also changed the image of African Americans.
Dust Bowl
The Great Plains were like a trap. The advertisements lured people in. When people plowed too much. Heavy winds blew all the plowed dirt and it became the Dust Bowl. All the Dust Bowl was, were Huge dust storms. Before the dust storms there were Suitcase Farmers. Suitcase Farmers were people who planted seeds and had people take care of the seeds. When the seeds were ready to be harvested they soled them for money. Black sunday was the biggest of all dust storms. There was an over population of rabbits. After these Dust Storms people are taking better precautions. Now we will take better precautions we will not plow fields as much. This did kill people and it definitely scared U.S.A.

The Scream Poem
Oh no! I’m trapped in a frame
This is terrible, who is to blame?
That’s not even the worst part
I have no ears, nor no hair in this piece of art
Only because this picture is such a shame

It’s Not a Nose It’s a Hose
This is a simile because it uses as to compare his nose to a fishing pole.
This picture is from the play, Cyrano de Bergerac.
Cyrano is the main character in this play. From what I know so far in the play, Cyrano is kind of pompous, insecure, good at poetry, and good at fencing. I know this because in the play Cyrano is full of himself because he challenges the audience to a fencing match. Also, a reason he is insecure is he teases himself about his big nose. While Cyrano was fencing he was making up a poem, this proves he is good at fencing and at poetry.
The difference between a metaphor and a simile is that a simile uses the words like or as to compare something. A metaphor does not use like or as when comparing.
Metaphor: He’s a mouse. Simile: He is as small as a mouse.

If i could kill a pig
it would feed me with its pork
