So, world history influences our lives today by allowing us to advance in technology and beliefs. Without history, l we wouldn’t be here. How has the telescope changed science? I learned that without the invention of the telescope we wouldn’t know the order of the planets and how gravity works. The most interesting part of my project was learning that the telescope has given us the first semi accurate of the speed of light. I found out that there are two types of telescopes, refracting and reflecting.

                Some of the interesting things I learned were that above a pharaoh’s tomb was an inscription that read “Those who enter, suffering will come.” or something like that. There were three types of Greek Columns.

                I don’t really like how the point of view changes every chapter. I think the big idea is that everyone can come together to make something great. I’ve liked Curtis because he is making his garden to get Lateesha to like him again. I liked all of the activities we’ve done in classes. Painting rocks was lots of fun and making flowers out of tin cans in Mr. Howard’s class. I really thought this was cool. We got to use hammers and scissors. I liked Mrs. Lubich’s activity because we got to use rocks and hang out with our friends.

I found out that the telescope has made many great discoveries. Some deal with the speed of light and others deal with how gravity works.  My final project is coming along very well, I have the 3-D museum display done and am just starting on my research board. My research question was “How has the telescope changed science?” so the discoveries that have been made will show how that telescope has changed science. I am very close to ready for the fair.

Well, my friend convinced me to read The Hunger Games. I read all three books in one week! I thought that they all were awesome. I liked the third one most. I liked it most because it was very exciting and very suspenseful. I liked how it was like the other series I read. They both have wars and fighting, the only difference is the time periods they are in. that is all I have to say right now.

          We were playing with chicken wings to wrap up the muscular system. I thought the experiment was lots of fun and a little weird. I am positive that it was worthwhile. I learned that it is fun to play with ligaments and the colors of fat and muscle. The chicken wing was awesome.

I finished my book. It was a great ending. I’m hoping the author will revisit the subject, but if he does, it probably won’t be for a couple years. Ok, the last words of the series were “We are not alone.”I think that was a great ending. The author started writing the series at 15 and has been working on it for 12 years. The title of the book was Inheritance. I never really made time to read, so in order to read, I had to lock myself in my room for the weekends. It was an absolutely fantastic book.

Lately I’ve been reading two books. I just finished one, called Inheritance, by Christopher Paolini. I liked all the suspense and that everything went into deep detail and how everything is worked in ways that are unimaginable, like the dragons, they work in ways that in the real world we only dream about. The other book, I just started. This one’s called Eragon, by Christopher Paolini the first book in the series. I decided to reread the series because I wanted to get more out of the books. I like how everything is a secret and nothing is known.

I chose to do Mrs. G’s blog. The favorite book that I’ve read this year is called Inheritance. I detest the character called Nasuada. I dislike her because she will follow orders even if it means death. I would change how she does follow orders, so she would be more willing to save comrades than follow her mission rules. I don’t think any of the characters represent real people. No, nothing about a particular character seems to relate to the authors true personality. Here is the writing prompt I chose to write about. “Think about the books you have read this year. Which one is your favorite? Is there a character you hate/detest/despise? Why? What traits could you change about the characters that would change how you think about them? Do you think that any of the characters represent real people? Does anything about a particular character seem to be related to the author's true personality--who the writer is? Respond to this blog by posting a blog of your own. A good response before 12/8/11 is worth 10 points. Be sure to proofread before posting.”

The best mystery I’ve ever read was the story called, The Valley of Death. I liked this story because the author did a great job hiding the little clues that give the story away. He also made each character a very different personality. I think this story is the best because it’s about a foster family, and the foster kid changes a lot. The foster kid is also hiding a big secret, and that secret got the main character’s sister kidnapped. The author did a very good job at hiding her secret, but also dropped hints of what the foster kid was hiding. I think a good short story starter would be,

“I see the target, I’m closing in on it, someone is with him” this guy is a deadly weapon, impossible to trick, impossible to see, impossible to hear, impossible to escape. He’s got a 7 inch dagger in his boot, a pistol in his coat, a rifle at his back, and a fist like rocket. “I’m going for the guard first, then the target. They won’t escape.”

I have read a good book lately. Right now I am reading Brisingr. I am enjoying that my book has no swearing. I also really enjoy fantasy stuff. The book was written by Christopher Paolini. In Brisingr the main characters are Eragon and his dragon, Saphira. Their troubles are very extreme for external problems. But his internal problems are commen.
