Treasure Island book report

Treasure Island is written by Robert Louis Stevenson.  The main characters are Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, and Dr. Livesly.  The setting is on an old, almost deserted island called Treasure Island.

Jim Hawkins gets a treasure map, and Dr. Livesly, Long John Silver, and a whole lot of others go out to look for the treasure.  Then, Long John Silver, and most of the other guys turn against them!  I think you should read the book to find out what happens.

I really like Treasure Island.  I think that it is one of the best books I ever read.  The movie skips a lot of it, and changed a few parts.  I think this is a very good book for someone to read.

Things I Like To Do

Do you like to learn about animals?  Do you like to go to the zoo?  Do you like to learn?    I like all of the above! Now, I'll tell you what I like about them.

I really like to read about animals.  Reading helps me to learn about animal behavior and what they eat.  I like detailed animal books because they give me lots of information.  This helps me a lot because I am going to have a job with animals when I grow up.

Going to the zoo is lots of fun.  I can see most of the animals I like.  Visiting the zoo helps me to learn about animals by observing them and reading the posted signs.  At my local zoo, there are so many animals you can't see them all in one day.  Some of my favourite animals at the zoo are moose, fish, and grizzly bears.

I also really like to learn.  Learning makes me happy and smarter too.  There are so many things I like to learn.  My top 3 favourites are zoology, astronomy, and chemical reactions.  I plan to learn computer programming.  I am learning Arabic, Chinese, and Ancient Greek in school.

Do you like those things?  I really like them.  I hope that you like them too.  Everyone likes different things, I hope that these are some of them.

Conserve Animals

Do you love animals?  I do!  I like animals so much that I would do zoology for most of the day if I could!  I think that poaching is one of the worst things in the world.

Animals are very fun to watch, and I know this because I love animals.  For example, it is fun to watch my fish zip across the tank.  The red-tailed shark is classified as extinct in the wild!  If an animal is extinct then it is impossible to watch.

If one animal disappears from the ecosystem the whole ecosystem might go wild!  For example, fish clean hippos in the water , and birds clean it on land.  If hippos disappear those animals might disappear as well!

Tons and tons of animals are endangered.  There are so many that you would probably need a 1000 page book to cover them all!  Animals are becoming more endangered by the day.

Now do you like animals?  You probably won't like them as much as I.  Even if you don't like animals, tell the government to ban poaching.  Please, go to World Wildlife.org and see what you can do.

Reasons to have fish as pets

Once I went to the fish store for the first time.  And I was amazed at how many different kinds of fish there were.  It was so hard to decide.  So hard that I picked an expert level fish! I think fish are the best pets in the world.
               
Watching fish is a lot of fun, because they rush up to eat when you feed them.  And I like to watch them zoom across the tank.  Corydoras are fun to watch because they hurry up to the top of the tank to get air.

There are hundreds of different fish to put in different kinds of tanks.  So far I've kept Yellow Lab Cichlids, Albino Zebra Cichlids, Guppies, Mollies, Marble Hatchetfish, Swordtails, Corydoras, and Platys.  You can keep fish from Piranhas to Goldfish.  And I'm not going to keep Piranhas or Pacus!

And finally, fish are the easiest pets to take care of.  Because all you need to do is feed them, clean out their tank, and care for diseases if they have any.  Feeding fish is easy.  You just put in a few pinches of food.  And curing diseases are very easy too.  You just need to buy the right cure and follow the instructions.

There is so much still for me to learn.  And I'm looking forward to learning it.  Now, do you think fish are the best pets in the world?  I still like going to the fish store as much as the first time I went there.

Fish Health Machine

Want to know if one of your live bearers is pregnant?  Want to know if your fish have any diseases?     Then buy the Fish Health Machine!

Instructions...Take a picture of the fish that you want to find health information about.  It will tell you if your fish have any diseases.  You will see detailed name and health information.  Common and scientific!  Additional feature... You put in the name of the fish and a profile of that fish pops up.

I just really hope I can make it a real invention someday.

The Hobbit book report

The Hobbit was written by J.R.R. Tolkien.  The story begins and ends in a village named Hobiton.  The main characters are the Hobbit, dwarfs, Gandalf, and Smaug.

They leave Hobiton to defeat Smaug the dragon, and they get to rest at Gandalf's friend's house.  They get caught by trolls. Later they get caught by giant spiders.

They get across the Misty mountains, getting caught by goblins along the way.  Bilbo (the Hobbit) finds a ring.  The ring has 3 books after this and I'm in the middle of the first one.  They enter Mirkwood.

At the end, Bilbo gets home. But it was in the middle of his house getting sold!  I really liked this book.  And I think anyone who likes adventure books will like this book and the Lord of the Rings.  That's the one I'm in the middle of.

Futuristic Jet Plane


This futuristic plane can fly at light speed,  with its rocket boosters that is.  The rocket boosters were made by a company that makes space ships.  And then the rest was made by people who make airplanes.  It can fly really high and really fast, It can even fly into space!  I had lots of fun building this.  It's not as big as the MiniChopper, but is a lot faster.

MiniChopper

The MiniChopper
The MiniChopper was invented by someone who wanted to fly.  He had a lot of junk in his garage,  so he used it to make the MiniChopper.  It can only go on short flights, and can't fly very high but he was satisfied.  It was a lot of fun to build this out of Legos.  And the propeller spins too.

The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz book report

The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz was written by Lyman Frank Baum.  The setting is in a fictional land called the Land Of Oz.  And the story begins and ends in Kansas.  The main characters are Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion.

Dorothy, her house and her dog are lifted up in a tornado to the Land Of Oz.  Next Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion.  Dorothy melts the Wicked Witch of the West.  And finally they meet the Wizard of Oz.

Dorothy gets stuck in the Land of Oz.  The Wicked Witch of the West enslaves them.  The Scarecrow falls into the river.  They find out that The Wizard of Oz is only a person.  And the hot air balloon that was going to carry Dorothy home, took off without her.

At the end, Dorothy finally makes it back home.  I really like this book.  I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.  And I recommend this book for any story lover.  I found this story to be exciting and interesting.

Out to Battle

I recalled my troops.
Repaired my helmet.
And treat my troops with respect.
Should I repeat?

The waterfall

Water rushed past.
Roaring fast.
Splashing foaming more and more.
Ripples raced to the shore.

The Rock and the Dock

Once there was a rock and a dock by the ocean.

Rock said "the water..."
"is quiet" Dock interrupted.

Rock barked,  "I..."
"want to fix this problem" Dock interrupted again.

Rock conceded, "you..."
"speak only predicates" confessed Dock.

"I..."agreed Rock
"speak only subjects" replied Dock.

"We..." smiled Rock.
"will only talk about stuff" explained Dock.
"we..." exclaimed Rock
"both understand". Dock acknowledged.

"We.." declared Rock.
"like this" laughed Dock.

A Fish Story

In large groups fish are good under the water. And Yellow Labs are one of the best.

One day Epsilon went for a swim but she strayed too far and guess what she found?  A grouper! 

He was rushing toward her and was about to bite her. The grouper's jaws went snap at Epsilon.

But because of her speed she escaped the large jaws of the grouper and swam home to her parents through a tunnel that connected the ocean to Elijah's fish tank. The grouper chased her through the tunnel and got stuck in the small opening into the fish tank.

The grouper snapped his jaws open and close while Epsilon zipped happily around the tank.  An Albino Zebra Cichlid went to the opening and bit the grouper.  Then the grouper swam away.

The Cook and the Crash

The kooky cook took a book.
Crash!  Books fell with a smash.
The floor shook and
knocked over the trash.
