Romans In Scotland

Hello, I am Bamus Margerus. I am a great Roman warrior. If you are reading this, then I am dead and all I can leave you is my story. My story begins in Rome when we were preparing to leave and to conquer Celtic villages. Some Celtics were hostile while others were friendly. We thought it would be simple, go in raid the houses and try not to shed too much blood, but we were wrong.
We had the advantage when it came to completely conquering one another because our forts were stronger and held up better. But when it came to combat it was pretty equal. While they had long swords we had spears and swords. Most of the battle would have been done by land but some of the battle would have been fought on water.
Our plan was too travel and destroy any villages that would come in our way. We did end up allying with some Celtic villages but others not so much. Their bright and colorful clothing made them stand out from a lot of different things basically giving us a target. We wore black jackets of metal plates which was helpful in combat.
We destroyed many armies of Celtic on our way. It was very brutal. Every second heads would fly and guts and blood would splatter on our four foot sword and the Celts body covering shield. We would stab our swords into there stomachs and twist and pull it out so there guts would fall out why they would get on there knees gasping for air and slowly dieing.
When my army and I finally made it to one of the main Celtic village,we thought that we had finished our journey but standing there was Arthur, another great warrior with his army. We both signaled our armies to stop. He wielded his long sword while I had my spear. We ran at each other and our weapons clashed together. We both had small daggers which we drew out and stabbed each other below the shoulder. We screamed and both fell to the ground, but before my vision faded i saw him drop as well with blood of dark red drip down his back while our armies collided and then, slowly, my vision went black.

I want to travel sol, our solar system with you.
For you, I would go to all the nine planets, including Pluto.
My love for you is like the heat on Mercury.
For you, I would clear away all the nimbus clouds.
Happy Valentines Day From PJCH

Hazy Minds PJCH
Fog is like trying to remember something
Your mind becomes hazy and hard to think
Your so concentrated you cant even hear a 'PING'
If you know what I mean, you can make this link
Fog clears your mind and reassures you that everything is okay
If you're feeling down, and there's fog outside just take a trip down to the bay
This will help clear your mind
And total peace is what you will find

The Witch and The Feast PJCH
The great god Goosh was the god of food and wine. He always had either a enormous feast with the rest of the gods or he would be out finding a worthy mortal chef to do his cooking for him. The great god Sabty was going to his next feast and he never goes to his feasts so Goosh had to find the best chef there was.
Now, in the small city Astof, there was a small group of four witches who wanted to get rid of the gods for good. When they got rid of the gods, they would take Sabty's thunderbolt and destroy everyone's possessions and everyone would have to worship them but first they need to think of how to get rid of the the gods.
Goosh still needed a chef to cook for him at the feast so he sent down a messenger to each city of the land looking for the best chef ever. In Astof, the witches knew this was all happening because they would open up an animal and tell by the animal's organs. The witches made the rest of there plan and put it into action. When the messenger made it to Astof he announced that Goosh needed a chef to do his cooking. At first when the witches came out he said that there food was good but they didn't look the part. So the witches went back inside and the youngest witch, Betty, was short and very chubby. She had orange and curly hair that looked kind of like a place a rat would like to live. She had three teeth that were black and brown and she had big ears. She took a beauty potion and in less then a second she became very tall and thin. She had straight, beautiful, and blonde hair and she had a full set of teeth that were all pearly white and then she had the perfect size ears. When she went back outside she was accepted by the messenger and was took to the heavens.
When the messenger and the witch arrived at Goosh's palace, Goosh instantly gave the witch her first assignment. Goosh wanted her to cook him her best meal so she used a potion and gave it to Goosh who approved of it and gave the witch the job.
The night of the great feast, the witch put rat poisoning in all of the food. The only one who didn't eat was the great god Sabty because he wanted someone to tell him if it was good or not. When everyone started gasping for air and dieing, Sabty made everyone back to normal. He then took the witch and made her spell go away and he threw her back to earth.
As punishment, Sabty made a law that humans could not work for any god. He also cursed everyone on earth with throwing up and also created fast food so people would eat the disgusting food and throw up more. After that, everyone hated the witches for doing that and formed a giant mob and burned down there house and destroyed all of there possessions.
After all of this, the witches had no friends and was the center of attention but not exactly the kind the witches wanted in the beginning of there plan.

The bridge that connects Rye and New Castle was created in 1873 along with the Wentworth. Today, if the bridge was never made, New Castle would probably have to have there own middle school or a boat that goes from New Castle to Rye.

In this collage, I focused on different people's faces and emotions. I want my audience to see the way you can put different faces and objects into one piece of art work. To make this collage, I took a special board and found magazine clippings and used mod podge to glue them on and then created a design to paint on. My inspiration was to see all the different fasces and smiles from different people.

More Heavy Metal by PJCH
I am one of the fans of the great music of heavy metal and I believe that there should be many more bands in America. Whenever I mention heavy metal people usually mix it up with the screaming death metal which is completely different. Heavy metal is my favorite type of music but it's getting more and more unpopular and to see it die off because of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers makes me sick.
A lot of people are being discouraged from playing heavy metal because there isn't much money in it but if WMG (Warner Music Group) were to sponsor more bands more heavy metal fans will hear about them. There are a lot of fans that want more heavy metal and not Dragon Force, which is a terrible band that plays fast but cant keep a beat and act like they are so cool. I bet there are a lot of fans of rock that never even heard of heavy metal and if there were more bands and advertisement, more people could find out of it. Although, if WMG were to sponsor more bands, people on YouTube would want to use it in their videos. That may not be a bad thing but the people at WMG think its bad to let people have their music in the video. They think it's stealing but no one can download it because obviously, there are people talking over it. Maybe the Warner Music Group could make a deal with Google and the rules of partnership and using their music.
With more bands that means more albums and CD's, so stores could get more money for selling their music. If there are more albums that means more tours. Although, if there are too many bands they would have to make more stages which could have more people get jobs like engineers, roadies, and technicians. Those people could be useful to help make the stage which is a good thing but if the stage was near old peoples houses there could be noise complaints. If they would make it in a valley or in a forest they would have to cut down trees or in some way kill animals and if they did that to make a stage, groups like PETA would get angry and protest and that wouldn't be good.
Some of the greatest bands of heavy metal are Metallica, Black Sabbath, Diamond Head, and Iron Maiden. Some consider Black Sabbath to be the best heavy metal band out there but Metallica remains my favorite. I would love to see more professional bands with original music instead of whenever I search a heavy metal and find a band called “Super Deth” which can only play Am I Evil and only play a show a year. A lot of people would be happy to see more original bands and I would too.
Now I hope you see my love for this music. I have been a fan of it for my whole life. It would be awesome if I could see more bands in the future being sponsored by WMG because one day I wish to make heavy metal as well. I hope you have learned something from this essay and help with the fight to get more heavy metal and less Taylor Swift.

When we went to Project Safeguard we had four classes. Two in the morning, then lunch, and then two more classes. We learned about having a good attitude when times are tough and how to get through those tough times. The speakers were very inspirational and definitely knew what they were talking about. Most of the speakers had great examples and different stories. I had really fun at Project Safeguard and will remember it. :)

Math Letter

Dear Mom and Dad,
So far in math class, we have learned a lot more about math in Module 1 in the first half of the trimester. We have learned a lot about graphs, order of operations, probability, and much more and I would like to tell you about some of my favorite things that I have learned a lot about in Module 1.
In Module 1 the first things we learned about were line and bar graphs. We learned things about graphs and how there are many different types of graphs and how there's always a Y and X axis. We also found out that line graphs graphs time and percentage when a bar graph can graph how much of something someone has. Graphs make everything easier because you don't have to explain what its about.
The next thing we learned in math class during Module 1 was about patterns and predictions. To study that we used a computer simulation of a spinner and spun it 100 times. We learned about terms and term numbers and how to write equations about the term and term numbers. We were also taught that the term number tells the position of each term term in the order. We learned how to easily get the 100th term in the pattern by using the equations. Learning about patterns and predictions was definitely my favorite part of Module 1.
Another one of my favorite parts of Module 1 was the order of operations but is also known as PEMDAS. PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. We did many different problems with the order of operations and learned a lot about PEMDAS like multiplication and division goes from left to right and so does addition and subtraction.
Well this is the end of my letter and I hope you have learned more about the math we did in module 1 and order of operations, graphs, and patterns and predictions. Hopefully we will write more letters at the end of the next module and learn a lot more!
Sincerely,
PJCH
