the hobbit

                                     THE HOBBIT

This book is a great book to read if your intrested in ficition. If your a fan of the lord 0f the rings you should read this book it's got Gandalf the gray, Bilbo baggins, and more!! Gandalf a wizard wants to send Bilbo baggins a hobbit on a quest to retrive a ring protected by a hobbit named gollum, not many peole who will read this will know him at first, but you ever heard  of " my precious!! my precious!! don't touch my precious!!" that's gollum I like this book because it really cool book and I think it should be read before someone reads lord of the rings, because you need to rwad this to fully under stand the story and what a hobbit is.
so far i would give this book a 5 star rating

From the mixed up files

By: Edward Van Dunk

Author:E.L.Konigsburg

fiction




         From the mixed up files of mrs.Basil E. Frank Weiler is about twokids running away from home and try to live in a museum and try to live by themselves.

The main characters are brother and sister and their names are Claudia the girl and her brother Jamie. They both wanted to leave home and they are both brave and have the same characteristics.The problem they face is not getting captured by the guards and get in big trouble. They make sure to taking care of each other.This all takes place in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I did not like this book because it didn’t really have the fiction I was looking for. It was boring because it’s about these kids who run away from home. I thought the book would be more fun. But the book is more about them trying to find artist and learn about them. If you are the kind of person that likes a fiction mystery you should read it. You might like this book. But the book has unrealistic things in the the story that will make you chuckle like how the guard never finds them. In the beginning they want to find out the artist who made a water fountain and look at art and try to find out who made it.

If you read it and think its going to be a cool mystery book. Prepare to be disappointed because it has more fiction than anything else.

I think the characters are like the Boxcar kids because they run away from home too and that they want to find out about things too I also think that they hide too.I think the theme of the book is about how kids realize that the stuff think is paradise they already had like Boxcar kids.

Another reason you should not read it is because the book does not get to the point when I first started reading it I thought it would be about kids running away from guards but when I started reading it i got bored quickly. I kept on reading thinking the book would get better . Well never happen. The lesson that they learned was that we at they thought was paradise they already had it from the start of this book.

Why I did not like the book because it was not the fantasy I was looking for it was the things I expected the book to be a cool mystery that’s about the museum itself but that’s not what I read. They just wanted to find out the artist that made the art that does not have the a name on the art. Making it not so unreal like how guards walk right past them they just want to find out who made the art that does not have there name on it. And that all adds up to why I did not like the book.

Matilda

                                                      By:Edward VanDunk                                                      By:Roald Dahl
Fiction

I finished a book called Matilda and its about a girl who doesn’t like her principal. Because the principal doesn’t like kids and she doesn’t like pigtails so she takes a kid by the hair and throws it.


I like this book because a girl named Matilda has magic and she uses it to scare the principal so she doesn’t terrorize kids. Matilda has a teacher who is really nice to matilda. Her parents don’t really care for Matilda because shes a girl. When she was 1 year old she started to read magazines and at 2 year old she started to speak full sentence and she talks to her parents you think they are going to be proud and happy nope they just say shes a chatter box. You should read it because it has fiction and its really funny and it leaves you wanting more. The lesson that she learns is that she could use magic when she’s angry.

The theme of the book is how Matilda wants to get get payback on her principal for how mean she was to everyone. The characters plot is to scare the principal so she goes away from all the kids so she doesn’t terrorize kids no more.This book is like harry potter because his parents don’t really like him either.

     KAYLA GRAVENHISE        ELA
     OCT-10th-2012                    HOMEWORK

     I went to summer camp last year and i had a BLAST!  My summer camp went to most of the amusement parks. My summer camp went on a lot of trips, and we wrote in our journals. I wonder what my summer camp will do this summer. The first trip was to Great Adventure. It was the best.The first ride I got on I thought i was gonna be sick. I road on the ride with my friend Aaliyah from summer camp. And had so much fun time.


     When i got off the ride i felt relieved. The second ride was the Batman ride and it was really cool. I got on so many rides my stomach started to hurt.The group from the camp and I were having a good . My camp also went to the roller skating rink. I was really happy that we went. I was so happy when i found out we were going skating i couldn't wait to tell my mother. Some of the kids in my camp didn't know how to skate, so i taught them how to skate

     The kids in my summer camp were so happy that I was there to teach them how to skate. The kids slipped and I  slipped too. We had to hold on to the at railing first. my summer camp had so much fun that day. I did not know that  my camp had  been  changed. I found out that the camp does not  write in their journals anymore.[sad]. My camps name is Wyckoff  gardens. My camp also have took walks to the park ate ices, had parties and much much more. I'm so happy that my camp went to really fun places. my camp is really a true camp. The camp isn't only a camp, its a fun camp! My summer camp is a really fun place for kids my age to pay in. My summer camp rock.


     I  first came to this summer camp when my old summer camp have gotten really boring. my summer camp that I went to last year is the worst. I don't like that camp is because we never get to have  fun and play with our friends while we are playing in the class room. we always write in our journals and don't platy. We only go swimming and never get to go to the amusement parks like the new camp. Thanks to my mom now I am going to stay in this new summer camp I cant wait to go again. Thanks mom. My favorite thing about my  summer camp is that we have fun and make new find everyday if we need to.


    My summer camp is awesome and i LOVE it so so so so so so so so much. I am so happy that I am going to stay in this camp. When I get older I am going to let my children in that camp if  it is still there. I wish  the same cam brother was my age so we can  both go to the same camp. If my brother was in that camp I would be really really really happy because I would see his facial expression. I REALLY LOVE IT!!!! My mother picked a good camp for me. I am glad that my is in MY life.  I love her.



   
   My camp is cool and really fun. My camp goes mostly everywhere a child would want be at this very moment so go to my summer camp, because you'll love it!

                                                        book recommendation


The first book I recommend is spiderwick by Holly Black.this book is a fun fantasy. it is a adventuress book that takes place in a old creepy house that his haunted by many types of fairies. all these adventures take place in one house. shockingly they find some very cool items and things that change there opinions upon the house,plus yours. this book is 3 siblings, simon the twin brother of the main character,jared,and the biggest sibling melony. simon is a heart warming animal lover that no matter what, he remains forgiving. melony on the other hand is a fencing queen, and isint really good at making friends, she could be very cold. last but not least, jared the main character,is deppressed since his father left. nobody really trusts him because he gets into some fights in his last school.

                                                 melony learns that no matter how ridiculous things might seem, to believe what your family says! i personally love this book because you never know whats going to happen next. i think you will like this book because there  some secrets that will make your mine pop! in the book jared finds a riddle that keeps him searching in the confusing house." in a mans torso you will find my secret to all mankind. if false and true can be the same you will soon know of my fame up and up and up again good luck dear friend" whats that supposed to mean?

                                                                                            this book reminds me of  bridge to tarbithia, because of all these clues and then you have all the cool creatures. i hope you read this fun and shocking series of books.
