I have a very, very boring life
Especially for a dagger
Normally
You think a dagger
Has…
An exciting life,
A crazy life,
A dangerous and frightening life…
But I don’t
I sit and stare
At thin air

The Third Floor Bedroom by LF

Inspired by Harris Burdick

It was a strange day in September. The breeze was a spring breeze, except at one place it was icy. Only one tree has no leaves and that place was outside a bedroom that was on the third floor of (what looked like) a regular house. The bedroom had birds on the wallpaper. There was a bunk bed that had frogs on it’s bed covers. The carpet was red and had green and pink lily pads on it. The curtains were made of a glossy pink fabric. It was a rainy day, like spring rain, except snow fell near that bedroom. All of the kids were happy about this strange happening, except Lilac and Rose. Lilac and Rose were in that bedroom, sitting, waiting for this curse to go so that they could get some fresh air and find their parents. Their parents had not come back home in a long time, they had said that they were just going to the grocery store for a few minutes, it turned out that they hadn’t come back and it had already been an hour. Lilac and Rose looked longingly out at the kids that were enjoying themselves, it was soooooooo not fair. No other kids felt the way that Lilac and Rose felt, all happy loving this spell.

Arts, Recreation, and Entertainment of the Southwest

Intoduction

In the next page and a half I will tell you about the Native Americans of the Southwest. The period that I am going to tell you about is about 500 years ago (the early 1500’s). I will be touring you through the art, recreation and entertainment of, mainly, the following tribes, The Hopi, The Apache, and The Navajo (Na-va-ho). I might tell you about things that you do or do not already know. You might be surprised, impressed, get a weird feeling or even be bored (because you already know something)! These are just a few pointers, the real information about the Native Americans of the southwest’s, art, recreation and entertainment is in the next 5-7 (depending on what you think counts) paragraphs. Let us begin our journey!!

The Lightening Thief the-lightening-thief.jpg

By Rick Riordan

I’ve read a book called The Lightening Thief. The Lightening Thief is a book that puts creatures from Greek myths into our world. The book is about a boy named Percy who doesn’t know anything about the Greek mythological world at the beginning of the book. Then, Percy finds out that he is half human, half god (a demigod). Percy goes to a camp called Camp Half-Blood, where he is safe. What Percy doesn’t know, for a while, is that he is in great danger. At Camp Half-Blood Percy meets a girl, Annabeth, that he is great friends with. He, Annabeth and Grover go on a quest. If this book sounds interesting to you then, read it. If you have already read this book, then if I missed anything don’t be mad. The Lightening Thief is the first of three books (that have been published) in the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. The other two books are, #2 The Sea of Monsters and #3 The Titan’s Curse. This series is by Bick Riordan. I really enjoyed this series. Also the title names are really funny. A funny chapter name is “I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom.” You should read this book!!!
