Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

2010-05-18T17:01:00.000-07:00

Diary of A Wimpy kid is a book about a kid named Greg that has a diary that he tries to hide but as the bullies in school see him with it the more they bully him.

The first book begins with an introduction to Gregory "Greg" Heffley and his middle school life. It takes place during his first year of middle school. The book also explains the "Cheese Touch" early on. It is like cooties. In the book, a kid named Darren Walsh touches the cheese with his finger. It is passed around the school, and later gets to Abe Hall, who moves to California.

Lots of funny moments happen in this book like. On Christmas he asks for a video game that he really wanted and his mom promessed him that she would get it for him. But she also bought a present for a poor person and somehow both of their gifts got mixed up so Greg got the man's present and it was a red sweater.

In his diary Greg always writes any things that happen or other things like what going on in his life . Greg writes a couple of diary's and they all turn out pretty funny , so I really suggest you read a book as funny as this one.

The Taks Test

2010-05-05T08:34:00.000-07:00

Well a couple of days ago we had two taks tests. I put all of my knowledge into the test because we only had one chance to pass. The school trained us for this day. We were all ready for the two days that everyone kept talking about.

The TAKS test was pretty hard but even though it was hard I will always defeat the TAKS . No matter what grade what subject but I will eventually pass the TAKS. This year I think I definitely did my best on that test because I focused and was ready for it.

Next year I might pass the TAKS test from that year. It doesn't matter what kind of test or what skill, you know I could pass it. I know I can pass any test if I prepare and focus. So Until high school I might be able to pass all the Taks tests.

Bud Not Buddy

2010-03-24T15:39:00.000-07:00

My book share is about a book named Bud Not Buddy. Bud is the main character's name. Bud is just a typical orphan in Flint,Michigan because when he was six his mom died and his father had left them. Bud actually hates the orphanage but at least it was better than going to a foster family . Well that's exactly what happens to him. One day a unknown lady walks into the orphanage looking for Bud. She had told him to get packing because there was a family that was opening their door to him. He ended living with the Amoses who can be abusive.

Todd Amoses their 12 year-old son really is abusive and harsh to Bud. Like Todd shoves a pencil up Bud's nose and then acuses him of bed wetting and for that Mrs.Amoses punishes him by locking him in a dark shed with a bed but no sheet. Bud lasts a couple of days in there but then he sees that the windows are covered with newspaper , so he rips all of the newspaper off and breaks out in the middle of the night. Bud walks in the house of the Amoses and for revenge he wanted to make Todd wet the bed by putting his hand in warm water. But it didn't work so he just threw it on him and then he actually wet the bed.

The Amoses keep a shotgun in their house and he was thinking of using it but it was a little to crazy. After Bud's revenge he goes on a search for his father. He always had his suitcase no matter where he went he had it and in it he had a picture of his father so maybe he could find him. He thought he could walk the way to Grand Rapids,Michigan but along the way this guy in a car went by slowly while Bud was hiding in some bushes. The man got out and told Bud to hop on and he'll drive him. Bud fell asleep during the ride and woke up in a hotel he got to eat some good breakfast and he found out the man's name was Lefty Lewis. The next morning they are heading to Grand Rapids to find his dad. His dad is in a famous band so it might not be that hard he can look in the studio.

Bud looked in the studio for his dad and he thinks he found him. He explains to the band his story and Herman E. Calloway is his dad. Now Bud is officially a part of Herman E. Calloway and the Dusky Devastators of the Depression band and they give him a gift and the gift is a trumpet. But Bud finds out that Herman is actually his mom's dad so maybe he found is grandfather but at least he has a family member with him.

In this book we have Dr.Brewer as Casey and Margaret's dad. But lately dad hasn't been himself he's been down in the basement for days and Casey And Margaret never seem to have time to bond with Dr.Brewer. Well Casey thinks he has the story of why dad won't come out of the basement, weeks before dad was in the basement all the time he had come home and said he got fired from his job for doing this very insane experiment and so now he's probably trying to finish the experiment he did at his job.

Dr Brewer was an ex-botanist who was fired. Later on Casey and Margaret notice that dad really isn't being normal because they caught him bleeding green,eating dirt,sleeping on a pile of dirt,and he even tried to feed Casey and Margaret dirt. So this tells them something is up and so they go down to the basement after their father had yelled at them to not go in the basement . Once they are in the basement the first thing they see is lots of plants every where and they smell something so weird .

It starts to get hot in there so Casey takes his shirt off. Then they start to walk around and they start hearing banging,screaming,moaning ,and it was coming from the closet Casey knew someone was in there so they all went to the closet and started breaking off the wood that was blocking the closet from opening it once they opened it the real Dr.Brewer was sitting in there his hand tied and his mouth shut with tape.

Casey and Margaret help him up and tell him what happened but all he could say was that he made a plant clone of himself and it wasn't supposed to do this. Well after the real Dr.Brewer got up he saw the plant clone and he cut him in half with a axe , and that was the last of the plant clone of Dr.Brewer. I really suggest you read this book because it's exciting and scary at the same time and it tells a great story of how plant experiments can sometimes go wrong.

One of my favorite things about Myspace is that I like when you have lots and lots of friends.The other thing I like about Myspace is that you can customize your on profile for other people to see.But back then Myspace had a little setting that could set your profile to private but now they took it off for some reason.Myspace is a great way to connect with friends and family thats why I love it so much.The other cool thing about Myspace is that if you like a song and you want to add it to profile playlists then you can actually do that you can even add videos to it.So I just to let you know that if you've been trying to connect with your friends and family maybe you should try Myspace I recomend it better than any other website

Skateboard Renegade

2009-11-19T14:00:00.000-08:00

My book is called Skateboard Renegade.I picked this book because it's one of my hobbies and because it's non-fiction.This book talks about a 10 year old boy that has 4 friends.But he's about to face the biggest challenge of his life.He wants to go to a new School Prep but he can't go to his old school with his best friends.So he goes to that school and he loved it.But before he went to that school he wanted to have a couple of fun days with his friends.So he has some fun with his friends and his friends tell him "The New cool thing that skateboarders do is dye their hair blonde and have a piercing on their ear.So it takes him a while to get the money for that.It turns out he has to steal from his little sister.Once he gets the money he goes straight to business.But when he goes to see if all his friends do it he feels so left out because no one else has done it.

The 10 year old boy has lots of fun at school he made a new friend and he has to do a project with him.He says he wants to make a ramp with some plywood so thats what he does. While he works on that he has trouble with his family and friends.There is one part in the book where the boy and his friends want to go skateboarding because thats what they really love to do on the weekends,but the thing is they went to go skateboard at their old school.But in their old school they had a rule about skateboarding around there.So they go skateboarding at their old school and they have fun for about 30-40 minutes until one his friends skates to fast and there was a woman walking by with her baby and the boy's friend bumps into her stroller which has the baby and the stroller rolls down to the street but luckily his friend saved the baby in time.

But once the baby had been saved the woman started screaming and yelling for help right after the baby had been saved.So a police officer comes up and ask the woman : What's Wrong?".She says that these children almost killed my baby! So the officer even saw them skateboarding so all of them must be in a lot of trouble.The officer tells them to get in the car because he is was going to drive them home.Every time someone got off the Police man got off he would go explain to eveyone's mother what they were doing and why they got droven over to there houses.

When the main character got off his mom was really dissapointed.

But in the end he passed all of his classes and his uncle from California gives him a call and he says if he would like to come to visit.He said that there was going to be a proffesional skateboarding contest and he was wondering if he wanted to watch it.I recomend this book because if you like skateboarding this is a good story about how you can get lead to a sponsor from Element or Zero and those aren't the best company.So go look for this book it's the Best book i've read.

Drug Free Prompt

2009-10-28T14:02:00.000-07:00

One time my mom told me that one of her friends in middle school was with his friends and they offered him some beer but he didn't want to take it and they kept calling him a wuss.So finally he drank the beer and now he messed up his life because he smokes and drinks.I suggest you don't take drugs because it will mess up your whole life cause if you smoke you can probably get lung cancer and die.Usually when my mom sees a drunk person and says:"That's what you're gonna look like if you start drinking beer".So when I grow up I do not want to do any type of drugs because if I do take drugs then its gonna stop me from having a good job.Its not good to do drugs because it illegal and because it can mess up the inside of your body,like your lungs they can probably shrink and shrink until you can't breathe anymore.So if you see anybody taking drugs or drinking please don't end up like them.

Bookshare : Fantasy

2009-10-21T17:32:00.000-07:00

In this bookshare I am going to talk to you about a fantasy book I am reading.It's called The Sword that cut the burnining grass.So this book is about people in China that are wondering how the sword cut the burning grass.

So some of the characters are Seikei,Hato and Reigen.In the book it talks about them going on an errand by walking to it.So this book takes place in Kyoto and in Kyoto since its Fall the days are shorter so Seikei,Hato and Reigen are deciding where are they gonna stay for the night.Hato suggest they stay at an Inn.Reigen suggest they should just sleep in the woods and Seikei doesn't really care where they stay as long as they get some sleep he's fine.

In this book Seikei and Hato almost get robbed by two big bandits but they didn't because in that same part of the book they meet Reigen the Asian police guard.He stopped the bandits from robbing Seikei and Hato thats why Reigen has joined Seikei and Hato on their errand.At first Hato didn't want to go on the errand with Seikei but either she did that or she had to work full time.

I recomend this to you because if you like ninjas and samurais this book talks about all those.I also recomend it because it tells a great story and you won't wait to read it ever night.I hope you get to read this book very soon because it's a great book and your gonna wonna read it over and over again.The Sword that cut the burning grass is a fantasy because swords can't really cut through burning grass.

The Best Advice I'd Had

2009-10-21T14:07:00.000-07:00

The Best advice i've ever had was when my mom told me to never give up in school always try my best.That really helped me because otherwise I wouldn't do very good in school.When my mom was my age my grandma told her the same thing.My mom also got to go to college because of that same advice.Other than that i've had advice that watch out who you hang out with because if they do drugs and you don't know they're going to offer you some and if you take it it will mess up your life.

Writing Prompt 2

2009-10-14T14:05:00.000-07:00

I think it's important to learn to how to deal with arguments because if you don't know how to the argument will turn into a physical argument then both students will either get suspended or expelled from their school then where will they go.If you don't learn how to do this without a teacher or parent because then when theres no teacher or parent around your not gonna know how to handle it.Like one time two of my friends were playing rough and one of them got mad and they started pushing and shoving each other.There was a whole croud around them trying to stop them and once they did that was it none of them ever talked to each other thats why I think it's important to learn how to deal with problems otherwise you won't know how to deal with situations like this.

Javier's Writing Prompt

2009-10-07T14:02:00.000-07:00

When I grow up I want to change my community by keeping my street clean all the time.If it's not clean well I'll just remind my neighbors to pick up so the world won't end as a trash can.

It is important to keep our enviroment clean because otherwise our Earth will end up as a big trash can.I feel it is important because I don't want the world to end in sleeping in a pile of garbage.

I am going to this by helping other people recycle.When I see trash i'd remind the person who littered it to pick it up and throw it in the trash.But I'd say it in a nice way so they won't get angry.
