An Ideal World

Hey guys as my last post of the school year I’m writing about a recent project that the entire 6th grade LA classes called an i deal world. In the classes we all read a book called the last Cuentista about a girl who travels to the future because of an asteroid about to hit earth so they move to a new planet  and she has to save her and her friends from a group called the collective who brainwash the entire ship. Anyway we had an assignment to design an essay describing what we would make our planet be designed as. It varied from theme parks to nature valleys. Mine was more of a nature valley named Luthus which means to encourage love in the work place here is my entire essay describing the planet its self

 

The name of my planet is  Luthus and that means love to encourage happiness in your world. It is near the North Star. The reason the name isLluthus is because of the part that we are  included in because we are all in this together, all of us.

There are camellias everywhere to show the beauty of everyone. Everyone is born with a camellia to show their personality and internal beauty and every year on their birthday they get a new petal. There are animals from all over the universe and some from Pangea honestly. Every family has their own island and has one boat to travel from island to island.

There are  rivers of crystal clear water that you could see anything you ever could imagine through it. The oceans have hotels at the bottom to show all the aquatic animals.

The rocks are the shape of all our ancestors who passed before us. All you  have to do to activate it is touch the hand pad and think of your ancestor. You can talk to your deceased loved ones through the rocks if you wish hard enough. All animals are included in this rock system.

Instead of money we have wishes. These wishes can only be used for good. Whenever you need to buy anything you would transfer wishes. Water is free because we need it to survive. You can get sandwiches for free at a specific location if you need it.

They are in the shape of animals that you can only imagine exist.  They have a beautiful pink purple color for the sunsets. There is a cloud time when every person goes outside for a minute or two and just looks at the clouds to set their mind on things.

The temperature is snowy and cold all the time like we’re in antarctica. Snow fights are an Olympic sport because of the snow and cold. There can only be winter sports in the Olympics except for swimming. The beaches don’t have sand but snow.

It always looks like a beautiful sunset or sunrise all the time. We have 1 moon that sits in the place that the sun would sit in the sunset or sunrise.

Each year is  225 days. Each day is  19 hours. Each month is 6 weeks. Each week is 5 days and there are 15 months in a year.

Our political system is a king queen system except the women make most of the decisions instead of the men because of the fact that they were never really rulers. Every day when the citizens have a request they come through the gates and ask politely for their request. They  go through serious security checks to make sure the queen is always safe.

We all get along just like we do on earth. At birth you are assigned a best friend to keep for your whole life.  You’re assigned a soul mate but you have to go through challenges to find them. You have a security system in your mind where if there’s a threat close to you you have the option to alert the authorities or leave it be. You’ll get alerts from 10 miles, 20 miles, 5 miles, and 1 mile.

We  have limited technology including phones to text, TVs for when you’re bored, music by every artist in excitance, and obviously transportation technology. We  have flying cars and water trains. We have planes that could fly you to any destination in the world.

if you were checked and approved you can go to a station to make your child with your design with your partner. you choose their eye color, hair color, and skin color.

Trees are as brown as brown bear cubs. The leaves are as green as a glorious scarab. The bark is a dogwood pattern like on quilts. The trees grow never ending so you could climb for as long as you wish.

These is the book entirely

Thank you for reading my blog post have a great summer

Planetarium

Hi guys,

Today were going to talk about one of the coolest field trips I’ve been on in sixth grade, one of the weirdest, and one of the most interesting. The Moorhead  Planetarium. We went to learn more about the planets, physics, and germs. I didn’t truly learn anything new because I had been there millions of times already but it’s still fun every single time I  visit. We rode there on a DA bus and it was a long drive because of the fact that it was on the UNC campus (go heels) and we were in Durham  but it was totally worth it. First we walked around for a while in the gardens and I got to lead the tour because I’ve been there too many times. First my group went to the walk-in museum which had fun things that simulated real time things like how to protect your self from a hurricane, how to kill germs, how many lights are on at night, and how a prosthetic arm or leg would work. After that we went to the planetarium room to learn about some things astronauts have to prepare for when going to space and it was awesome. We also learned about some star formations and got to see some of our zodiac signs. After that I went home with my dad because I had a plane to catch but everyone else went on the bus back to the middle school and left from there.

Once he does that he goes and makes an app with his friend Murphy ( played by Odiseas  Georgiadis) who is excellent at making games and programing. This app is designed to let people have a date to something from if its a rodeo to dating practice. Once he makes some money he realizes that he is getting farther away from murph and all his friends. once he gets any offers he immediately denies it. he gets multiple requests from one person with no name. he denies all of them but They keep asking. he hears a knock on his door and there stands Celia. she takes him to a fake surprise formal at his job and she tells him they can date. the end scene is them kissing. That last seen is defiantly my favorite of all time

Tree planting

Hey y’all

Our school went to north Durham to plant some trees at an apartment complex that they were fixing up. We worked with keep Durham beautiful foundation. They brought us trees to plant and every one of us got to plant one tree or if you were in a group of two or three you got to plant two or three trees. One thing that was the most fun for me was helping most of the people with roots they couldn’t break so i would go and break it for them. I finished mine pretty early by myself so i got to plant two trees. The one thing was I wasn’t wearing gloves so by the time we were finished I didn’t have hands I had dirt. The one bad thing was at the end when I was helping put the shovels back in the back of the truck then I dropped the tip of the shovel on my toe and couldn’t move it for a whole day but my friends helped me hop to the bus. I did get to skip swim practice so that was one of the good things that came out of it. Don’t get me wrong I love swimming with all of my heart but 6 days a week is a bit much. It’s nice to get a break sometimes.

Adam Gidwitz visit

This is a picture i got from google of all his books

Hey guys. Today I’m talking about a pillage I got to experience an authors visit at my school from Adam Gidwitz. You may have read one of his books. Here’s some series he’s done. The unicorn rescue society, The inquisitors tale, Star Wars: the empire strikes back, or a Tale Dark and Grimm. These are all series that he has written. He came over to our school to talk about his new book Max in the House of Spies. This book is about a Jewish boy who was taken to Europe to be protected from the holocaust that was going on during the time. He wakes up on the train with two little things on his shoulder. The one who’s a kobold in the Jewish tradition is named berg the the one who is a dybbuk in the German tradition is named stein. Adam Gidwitz told us that his family friend Mr. Steinberg who was a little scary to young Adam. He was taken from his home during the holocaust too so he made a book about it. He told us stories from when he went to a place I can’t remember and how he had walked in quicksand and somehow got out. That must have been a workout. He also told us that his wife who is an expert on the place that he went to also was stuck n quicksand

Wisdom Tales Comics

Hey guys today I’m talking about one of the projects I did in my LA class. We read some stories from a book called “Wisdom Tales”  and chose 1 of them to make a comic on. I first chose “Mice in Council” but I finished it too early so I had time to do more than one! I hope you enjoy reading them!

this was the Mice in Council comic which was 2 pages

Mice in Council was a story about some mice who were talking about how the new cat is ruining there chances for food. They think for a while and one tiny little mouse says “ why dont we put a bell on the cat so we can hear it when its coming” but hes to small to do it so the moral of the story was easier said than done

Then I decided to do the wild strawberry which is a story about a girl who is running for her life and falls but grabs on to a vine that two little hedgehogs are chewing on while if she falls theres a tiger waiting down below. she sees a strawberry and picks it. she eats it and it makes her think about life so she lets go of the vine.

the comic of the wild strawberry

Then my last comic was the Useless Tree. This might have been one of my funniest works from all three comics that I’ve done and it might have  taken more time than the others that I have done.

Look Both Ways

Hey movie lovers, you might want to start up the popcorn cause this one is a great movie. Look Both Ways is a movie about a regular old college girl named Natalie played by Lili Reinheart who has a best friend Gabe played by Danny Ramirez who ends up getting her pregnant. This movie shows what her life is like with the pregnancy and what her life would’ve been like without the pregnancy. She has the child and names it Rosie and it goes through her life as the teen mom and the cartoonist she always wanted to be. Did I mention that in her life where she never has the child she moves to LA California with her best friend Cara played by Aisha Dee and becomes a cartoonist at a business run by her childhood dream celebrity Lucy Galloway played by Nia Long. She meets a guy named Jake played by David Corenswet and starts dating him even though he dumped her. In both worlds she ends up making a cartoon on her own and gets it showed publicly and on that night in the pregnancy world she tells Gabe that she loved him ever since the day she met him. Don’t worry in the LA world she finds Jake in the Crowd and he gets back together with her and then it ends the movie with her little cartoon birds saying bye bye

Love in the Villa

Hey guys. The movie I want to review today is an incredible movie on Netflix called “Love in the Villa”. This movie is about a 3rd grade teacher named Julie played by Kat Graham who books a stay at La Villa Romantica  with her boyfriend played by Raymond Alblack who breaks up with her right before the trip. She only booked the trip because of the fact that she loves the classic tale Romeo and Juliet which is based in Verona Italy. She has to go alone, but the villa happens to get double booked with a man named Charlie played by Tom Hopper who is a wine taster and is forced to share the villa  with her. They go on this rampage trying to get the other to leave but they slowly fall in love but it’s not meant to be just yet. Julie’s boyfriend, Brandon, proposes to her but she rejects for the act that she only wants to be with Charlie. They find each other then the happy couple lives a happily ever after
