The Red Pryamid
By:Rick Riordan

1hr. pg1-65

Carter and Sadie are brother and sister. They see each other only twice  a year. One time in the summer and one time in the winnter.  Since their Mom died Sadie lives in London with their Grandparents. Carter travels around the world with their Dad, a famous Egyptologist. The kids don’t like each other much and the Grandparents don’t really seem to care much for the Dad. I mean, they’re civil, but they only see each other twice year. Mostly, they just get through the visit and move on, waiting it out until the next year.
However, On Christmas Eve Carter and his Dad are in London to spend their one day of the year with Sadie. Dr. Kane takes the kids to the British Museum. Sadie hates whenever Her dad takes them to another muesum instead of aq fun amusement park. What they really haven’t done is watch their Dad get trapped inside a golden sarcophagus after calling from the dead an Egyptian god determined to destroy the world. If i were in Sadie and Carters place I would have been freakng out seeing my father being taking by a GOD!!!!
I can't believe this!!! I love Rick Riordan writing because tis is the genre I love especcially with all the gods.

Hard, Easy, and Just right Poems.

Hard Poem

Amor, Amor

Amor, amor, un hábito vestí
el cual de vuestro paño fue cortado;
al vestir ancho fue, más apretado
y estrecho cuando estuvo sobre mí.


Después acá de lo que consentí,
tal arrepentimiento me ha tomado,
que pruebo alguna vez, de congojado,
a romper esto en que yo me metí.


Mas ¿quién podrá de este hábito librarse,
teniendo tan contraria su natura,
que con él ha venido a conformarse?


Si alguna parte queda por ventura
de mi razón, por mí no osa mostrarse;
que en tal contradicción no está segura.
-Gracilaso de la Vega


Response: The thing that is hard about this poem is that first of all it is in Spanish. However I only Know a few words of Spanish in this poem because they don't teach us this complex spanish yet. the only thing i get from this is Amor,amor which mean love,love. So now I know that this poem is a love poem so those spanish words mean something sweet, kind, and romantic from a lover.




Easy Poem

It's not too hot
It's not too cold
A perfect day
To have and hold
The sun is out
Clouds are seen
It's still a day
To sit and dream.Ray Hansell

Response: I think this is an easy poem because it describes what the day is just like so you can picture it in your mind immidiatly. it is an easy poem because you know what is happeneing and it makes total sense. Once I read it Once I can get all the meaning out of it.

Just right poem

On a breeze her voice sighs to me
lingering touch and playful swirl
I breath her and she envelopes
playfully touching
lingering laughter
Real and Imagined
Together

Response: I think this is the just right poem because it leaves me wanting more of the peom. It isn't an easy poem  because this takes a few time to read throught o get the whole understanding. Like Ms.Green said that we needed to expand the moment the author of this poem strched this alot. Instead isf saying we were together on the date and explaining the date the author Takes one moment. I like this because it is kind of hard to imagine yet y can pick where you want the poem to be. Everyone has there own thoughts on this poem. i think it fits right into JUST RIGHT.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(if you don't already know the story to Beauty and the beast)

So when Kyle gets home from the dance he finds Kendra sitting in his room. She turns into a witch of some sorts telling kyle that he should have never done that and he will pay with his beauty. Well you know what happens. He gets turned into a beast!!!!! Suddenly his dad moves Kyle to live by himself with only his trustworthy made and a blind tutor so he wouldn't be frightened. Well he was left with the mirror and he started looking up people and what they were doing. Finally after a year, His tutor finally decides that Kyle would grow roses since roses are still beautiful even though they can be cruel (the thorns).

One night after Kyle gets obsessed with the roses someone breaks in to the green house and Kyle get to his greenhouse before the robber knows what to do. The thief makes a deal with  Kyle to let him go in exchange for a girl. Obviously because of his curse he accepts the trade off. The girl was Lindy!!!! I saw this totally saw this coming!!!!

Beastly By: Alex Flinn

I'm reading Beastly once again. you may be wondering if this is the movie about to come and it is!!!! I love how Alex Flinn writes part of her story in a chat room called THE UNEXPECTED CHAT ROOM. Well in this chat room fairy tale characters are seemed to be real are talking about their problems like silent maid (supposedly Ariel), Froggie (supposedly the frog prince), Grizzly guy (supposedly the bear/wolf thing in Rose Red & Snow White) , and last but never the least BeastNYC ( supposedly the beast in beauty & the beast). BeastNYC  has a real name and its Kyle Kingsbury. He is the main character in the story. This is Definitely the modern day version of Beauty & the Beast.  Hence his chat room name he lives in New York City. He is the most popular guy in school even though he is only in 9th grade. Then his week changes when he meets this goth girl in English who said that Kyle was beastly (not how everyones says your beast, she meant it like you have fangs and fur.) So trying to be funny He asked her to the dance planning to break her heart and that is totally where he made he big mistake.
When he shows up with the prettiest girl in school in his arms He finds  Kendra (the goth girl ) in a butt ugly dress (thats what it said in the book) with no expression on her face like she knew that she was about to get stood up. as he went to the dance not caring about what he saw he realized his 'girlfriend' threw a fit because her corsage was not an orchid but a beautiful white rose. Not bothering to throw it away he gave it to the ticket girl whose name was Linda or Lindy.
From this I learn that you shouldn't say things you don't mean otherwise there will be consequences you don't know exist.
