This is the last post I’m ever going to do on this blog, and I’m sad. But writing on it has been a lot of fun. And I loved it. Those of you that commented on my blog thank you ’cause you kept me posting. I hope I wrote good posts and not posts that completely bored you to death. If they did I should learn how to keep things exciting in posts, stories, etc…, but if they didn’t I don’t know what to say. Thank you for skimming or reading my blog.
This is my final post about the alice project I have been doing. My partner c17dw and I finished our comic. You can see it through the link. It was a huge process to finish the project we used comic life. We drew pictures scanned them in put it into accounts for us to use and inserted the pictures on comic life. We put in words to speech bubbles and made our comic have words. We also have a little thing at that is really funny. It keeps you on the edge of your seat you can’t skip it because the end is after the little addition to it. I hope you like it.
I’m doing a state about New York state not the city but the state. First I’ll do a list of the facts like state bird, tree etc..
Here are some facts about Niagra falls, which is also in New York.
At the beginning it was just a mountain with a summit and spruce. But a little after it was the Palaeo-Indian period which lasted until about 10 thousand years ago Niagra falls had the Clovis people. These people were thought to camp around Lake Eerie, and they were the first people to see the Niagra falls get formed.
This natural wonder has been a tourist hot-spot. When you see it the falls are rather mystical. Even artists and writers come to observe the beauty of the falls.
I also have a article about the history.
In colonial times the first explorer from Europe ever to set foot in New York soil was Giovanni da Verrazano. Later the Dutch claimed part of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Delaware as New Netherlands because of explorer Henry Hudson who went far into the Hudson river. The first fort in New York state was fort orange which was founded by the Dutch in 1624. That was when they founded the town New Amsterdam in New York city which was called New Amsterdam back then. After it was founded they hired a Governor that sought war with the Indians and started the Orange wars. But after that he died and they replaced him with Governor Peter Stuyvesant who fixed the city so there were police men and walls surrounding and he also made the fort better and made a treaty with the Indians of New york city the English came in with warships that would outmatch the fort by a huge leap. They took over and named the king gave it to the duke of York as his birthday present that is why it is currently called New York. A nearby place which was called fort Orange is now Albany.
That’s everything.
I did a interview with my litttle dalton buddy they interviewed about what it was like to travel from big dalton to little dalton.
I am documenting stuff about the pilgrims. I did a podcast but I didn’t quite finish it so it ends suddenly so sorry if you wanted to know more about that certain thing.
Delaware has some pretty interesting things like:
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is an amazingly mysterious book. The beginning may be a little dull but eventually you will be gritting your teeth and and holding on to your pants. You have to have a bit of patience if you read it because it does not give a tiny pinch of it away. And if you try to figure it out you’ll finish reading it faster then that. And you have to make sure you keep on reading it because if you stop for some time you will forget everything cause there’s a lot of stuff going on in it. It takes place in New York in 1979, so it has stuff like The Twenty Thousand Dollar Pyramid. It may seem a little confusing at the end but get prepared because a lot of stuff is going on in this book. So if you like a mysterious, funny and thinking book this is the right one.
Hello, I’m writing another post about my project with Alice In Wonderland. As I said before in the previous Alice post I’m doing a comic with a partner in chapter four (The Rabbit Sends a Little Bill). We’re drawing pictures and eventually putting them in comic life, but there’s a big process to doing that. First we have to draw the pictures which is what me and c17dw are doing right now, we also have to scan we’ve done a little bit of that, we insert it into comic life and finally we make write the speech bubbles and sound bubbles and stuff like that. C17dw also has has a blog so you can see his Alice posts to. Thats everything I’ve done since the last post so thats it.
I’ve read a book called The Green Book. Its about people from earth that have to move to a different planet (they named Shine), and about how they live there. This book is a lot like the pilgrims voyage so I’m comparing it with the pilgrims voyage I’m gonna show you some similarities, like they both travel to unknown lands-and have to figure out how to survive (growing crops, building shelter), they both have bad conditions at there new home, they both traveled on long journeys, they both had brought back-up food incase they needed it, they both had bad equipment/technology, neither of them had a lot of money and lastly both of the groups brought a small number of personal items. Here are some differences. The pilgrims had a harder life (death, disease), the pilgrims were from the past and the green book people in the future, the pilgrims rode in a boat-green book people rode in a space ship, the pilgrims chose to leave and the people of shine (green book) had to, young children in shine played but pilgrim children worked all day, pilgrim voyage took 66 days-shine people took 4 years but they weren’t falling sick, the pilgrims took what they wanted/shine people took what they needed. Thats pretty much all of the similarities and differences of the pilgrims and the people of shine. But they both tried there best and never gave up and they became successful at the end.
I did a subject on Alice in Wonderland and in that subject our teacher read us a annotated version of Alice in Wonderland. Which was really fun because all of Lewis Carolls parody’s and what the real version of the stuff was. And when I compared the two it became really funny. But before all of that stuff we learned abut the real Alice. We also learned about Lewis Caroll and what he did as a profession. But to learn about how Alice lived we watched a old show called 1900 house. Which showed how people in the Victorian times lived. Lewis Caroll also had a fake name which was Charles Dodgson and that was a anogram but that was on the books. But after all of that we studied about comics and how to make them. And now we’re making Alice comics with a partner and we’re doing them on a chapter we chose. My partner is c17dw. Thats most of the stuff we’ve done with alice so far so this is it.
