The witches

Have you ever thought all of Roald Dahl's books were filled with excitement, humor, and surprises that were appropriate for kids? Think again when you have read a book called The Witches. The book starts off as a Norwegian boy at about age 8 raised by his grandmother(The boy's parents died from their car falling into a ravine.) who tells him about witches, how they exist, not like the ones we know of that wear black hats and cloaks, and ride brooms. Instead, the real ones are like real women, they look like them, they also have ordinary lives. Except with their children killing personalities, and a few differences from ordinary women:
1. They do not grow a single hair on their heads, so they wear wigs.
2. They do not have toes at the end of their wide feet, but they have to deal with wearing tight high heels.
3. They always wear gloves until they go to bed, they have fingers as curvy as a cat's.
4. Their spit is blue.
5. A clean child is very smelly to them. Due to stink waves.

Soon after, the boy is told about 5 children who vanished all because of the witches. 2 of them from a woman and 3 others with unknown reasons. But what they had in common was that a strange lady was always seen outside the house. And then, the next evening, before going back to England, his grandmother tells him about the leader of all the witches. The Grand high witch of all witches. A witch that actually has a mask. Concealing her rotten, scary, face. It is unknown where her lair is. But one thing is known that she is EXTREMELY high in money. The next day, they leave for England and they settle in their old house in kent. But then, the boy meets a witch. And he stays in a tree until past his supper time. Soon, in the easter holidays they go to hotel magnificent. And in the ballroom, he decides to train his pet mice. But the room is later, filled with women the boy later discovers that they ARE WITCHES! And he even sees the grand high witch! She comes up with the idea of a formula that turns people into mice! And then, A fat boy named bruno jenkins is the 1st victim. Then, the boy becomes the next one. But unlike how any other children would have reacted, he actually enjoyed being one. Especially with getting the mouse maker bottle. Later at dinner, he pours the entire content of mouse maker into the soup, later turning every single witch into mice. The boy and his grandmother later go back to Norway, where she explains to the boy about what the grand high witch's name and address was. And where she lived. And now, there would be a new ruler. But What will happen next? It will be a mystery.

Animal farm

Animal farm is a book that is written by the author George Orwell. It was a book Matilda,(Who you should remember in my last blog) read. What's more, it says actually pigs are the smartest animals on a farm. It also tells me that even animals could be very power-hungry. So the story begins by the oldest pig on the farm, old mayor gathers every animal on the farm, the pigs, the sheep, the geese, the horses, etc. He teaches them about a childhood song called "Beasts of England". A song about how it would be  like if  all humanity was gone. Including the cruel farmer Mr. jones. Soon after that,  old mayor dies 3 days later. And then, a rebellion planned by the animals starts. They vanquish Jones from the farm, and destroy his things. Then, they put up a flag denouncing the battle of cow's shed. A hoof and a horn printed on the green tablecloth flag. Soon, 7 commandments are put on the board.

1. Animals shall never sleep in human beds.
2. Anything with 2 legs=bad anything with 4 or flies,=good.
3. All animals are equal.
4. Animals shall not kill each other.
5. Animals shall not drink.
6. Animals shall never sleep in human beds.
7. No animals shall wear clothes.

Snowball, a pig sets up the schedule for when the animals get up, to when the animals go to sleep. And a long time later, snowball comes up with the idea for a windmill. But then, dogs charge in and chase out snowball into a hole. Napoleon, another pig then becomes the leader. But soon bad things happen as the windmill is knocked down, it is discovered something urinated in the drinking pool, many other bad things. And a few animals confess they were in league with snowball, whom was a secret agent of Mr. Jones and are slaughtered by the cruel napoleon. Soon, Beasts of England is banned, weird things happen on the board with the 7 commandments. And it changes to 5 commandments that are different than before! But the bad luck did not stop after that. Frederick, another mean farmer declares war on the animals, and many are killed, and the windmill burnt down. But the animals still fought hard enough to repel Frederick. Boxer, a hardworking horse known to say 2 things: "Comrade Napoleon is always right", and I'll work harder".was hit in the knee, and hoof. And his 12th birthday was nearing. But the cruel napoleon sends him to be killed. As he wants animals that can work still. But later, squealer, the pig that sends out the news says that boxer died in the hospital. Which was a lie. Man, pigs are smart but they are evil too! Years pass, and many animals pass away. Moses the lazy raven returns, and continues to tell lies about sugar land, a place in the high skies. Will the bad luck go on in the animal farm? Will the farm be able to survive? Will napoleon do more evils? Read the book to find out.

Matilda

Matilda is a funny, and great book written by the author Roald Dahl. It teaches me a lot about that reading can take you to new places. It is about a five year old very smart and amazing girl who could already talk at age one and a half! But unlike any other parents, her mom and dad said she was a chatterbox, and how girls at age one should be seen, not heard. And a few other things that sets her parents apart from ordinary ones is, they hardly have any books, and they always eat dinner in front of the TV. Now, Matilda does these pranks on her family hopefully to teach them a lesson, and to teach them not to be so abusive towards their daughter. but maybe because of bad luck, they are only temporary, then she expects school to be different, but there is 200 pounds of a kid hating headmistress named the trunchbull, who picks on little kids including Matilda! Eventually, she finds she has a special power against the headmistress. What is the power? How will Matilda teach her a lesson? Read the book to find out.

pokemon: mew and mewtwo

Mew is a pokemon that is actually a mythical pokemon. Its specialty is that it can use any pokemon move, so many believe it was the first pokemon to walk on the earth. it does not evolve from, or into any pokemon. Since its a mythical, and mythicals cannot evolve. Mew has a look-alike named mew two. The only mythical that was man-made. After scientists recombined mew's genes, mew two was made. It is a very ferocious pokemon, and is bigger than mew. But unlike mew, mew two cannot do every single move. And mew two is a legendary, not a mythical. I guess its because lots of people already know about mew two. I mean, it was man made!

A very very fun birthday at great america

Today when I went to great america, I did many very fun rides. The first one I did was the tiki twirl twice, it was very fun looking like we were about to be thrown off. And the line was very short, so we could go twice. The second ride that I did was the grizzly, which was a roller coaster I rode along with the gold striker, we even got to ride first row!  I thought it as a 4 3/4 because it almost felt like a 5 to me! Then we did the third ride, the barney speedway. I drove by myself while mom and Kyle drove together. Then, we had some drinks from our refillable cups. Mom accidentally crushed one of them because she didn't know it was not dishwasher safe, so we got a new cup. We then, tried the centrifuge,   it was very, very, dizzying and I got thrown around and around! After that, I needed a huge break because I was feeling very sick. After the break, we went to psycho mouse, a ride that was pretty fast. Then, we went to the woodstock's express,  it was very awesome. Soon, we had lunch. Hot dogs, chips, and nachos. Soon, we went on a gondola to the gold striker. A very fast and bumpy ride. I felt very proud I rode, and was not afraid at all! In fact, We even got dipping dots! Then, we went to the happy feet theatre, which was one of those motion theaters. Soon, we went home. I felt like it was a great day today.

Minecraft

Minecraft is a game that teaches you about wildlife survival, but it is very addictive, to warn you. The game has many items that can help you beat the game. Minecraft is a game made by notch. Some blocks are naturally spawned and some not. Here is how to download the game: First, you go to the website and log in using your email address and your password. I'm sorry if you do not have one. After you finish logging in, click the download button and check your downloads on your computer. And then click open and bingo! You have the game. When you go to the game menu, there are two modes of playing. One is single player, which means you play by yourself. And multiplayer, which means you can play with others. If you access singleplayer, you'll see you have no worlds yet. Anyway, when you spawn in a new world, you should start gathering wood, which then can make wooden planks. This is the crafting recipe:
 You will get 4 planks which is enough to make a crafting table. This block's purpose is to make all sorts of items like tools and its only difference is that it has 9 crafting slots and your own crafting area in your inventory has only 4 slots for crafting. Now, get some wood and put 2 wood planks on top of each other to make 4 sticks. Sticks are mainly used for making tools and weapons. Your first set of tools are wooden tools. With the pickaxe, mine 3 blocks of stone to get cobblestone to make stone tools with higher durability. Strange how regular stone can't make stone tools! Anyway, a trick to make tools repair again is crafting 2 of a same tool together. Be warned that this method can remove enchantments on it, so if your tool is enchanted and almost broken, DO NOT USE CRAFTING REPAIRS! Instead, use the anvil. The total objects used to make tools or armor are: Iron, wood, stone, diamond, gold, thats all. There also is chain mail, the one armor that cannot be crafted. You know, its pretty ugly. And also there is emerald, used only for blocks and trading with villagers. What the difference of these tools are that they have different durability numbers, with diamond being the highest. And the tools can  mine certain ore and other stuff. And with a block called obsidian being very hard to break, so hard that it can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe. And even that takes long to break. But obsidian can be useful for crafting the ender chest and enchantment table. And can make the nether portal, a ticket to hell. Interesting fact: obsidian is very common in the end because it is sort of black and purple. Same thing to bedrock, the most indestructible block that is at the end of the world.  Now multiplayer mode is a place where you have to type in a server address and bingo! You are in a multiplayer world. Unlike singleplayer mode, multiplayer has rules! Like you can't break blocks, there are minigames, no cheating  and if you pause, the characters still are moving! And a last thing about minecraft are skins. My skin right now is a Halo, and  minecraft skins can be in skindex, nova skin editor, skin craft, many places! In minecraft pocket edition, (A version of minecraft played on iPhone or iPad). You are just stuck with boring 'ol' Steve, the name of your default skin. But in Xbox, you can have 8 default skins or get some at the minecraft store! Maps and mods are also another important part of minecraft. Maps are games that can be games like parkour mostly. And mods, they install new mobs, new blocks, and even new weapons stronger than a diamond sword!!!!!!! Yes, minecraft is a very awesome game and is so different from every single other one you have played!
