Doggie Dilema: A Puppy Problem

   Dear Amma and Appa, 

 I think we should get a Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are kind, loyal, friendly, and calm. They are very good with children, and they're very helpful, since they're guide dogs. The area of the dog pen is 256 feet(16 x16)  and the perimeter is 48 feet. I chose this size because all dogs need lots of room to play and exercise.One side is attached to the house, so the dog and us can go in and out.  The type of fencing I chose was Wood Picket, for a few reasons:

1. It's not the most expensive type of fencing, but it's not the cheapest. The most expensive is the Chain Link Fence, $256 per roll, and the cheapest is Large stones, $1 per brick. 

2. Usually, GRs are about 2 feet tall, and they're not known for jumping, so I think a 3 ft tall fence is good enough. 

3. I did some research, and Wood Picket fences aren't climbable, and they're not see-through, which is important because lots of dogs go crazy when the see people through their fence and want to go play with them. Since you can't see through Wood Picket, they won't feel bad that thy can't play with the cars. The final cost of all of this comes to $292.00. Thank you for reading this. 

Poems by M: Part 2

Acorn into tree.

Small into big, big into

small. Believe in you.

My friend has a mom

Who is incredibly calm

She fell down the stairs

Trying to fix her hair

And accidentally set off a bomb

 Kate was so rude

 In school they taught her to be
 Not bad, but good
"Duh" she said "I can do that!" So she tried to be 

 Nice and sweet and thoughtful
 Eddie saw this and
 Said "Can I be kind too?"
"Sure!" Kate said. "Being kind is good for you."

    If you can,

Please try again Dan

  "Do I need to Ma'am?

I need to go home and feed the lamb." 

    Yes, you must!

Otherwise how will you be fair and just?

     As a lawyer, judge or a teacher?

President, CEO, or even a preacher?

 "Fine, FINE! I'll try again, 

but I do need to get the eggs from the hen.

  After this you can go to your house, 

and eat some snacks, and play with your mouse.

  "I'm all done Miss! Thank you!

I really must go home and feed Mr. Moo."

  Ok, bye! Have a nice day!

"You know what? This was really fun, I say!"

News from the News: The Potato Olympics: Behind the Scenes

The Potato Olympics is

A well-oiled, orchestrated

Occasion that excite and amaze even the most blah of potatoes.

Welcome back to our new segment : The Potato Olympics! Now, I heard our first post was a HUGE success! So, we at News From the News decided to post another post. So; (Drumroll please!) Welcome to The Potato Olympics: Behind the Scenes! Keep reading for the full thing.


 Now, I know some of you inquisitive peeps in the street might be wondering: What do these mind-blowing Murphys do behind the scenes? Well, we're here to uncover the truth! So, to get the big scoop, we're talking to Piper the Potato!

Me: Welcome Piper!

Piper: Thank you for having me here.

Me: So Piper, all of our fans have been wondering: What happens behind the scenes? Care to answer?

Piper: Sure. It's really not as cool as everyone thinks. So first, my landlord, sees a video on her computer. Then, she gets me from my bed ( when I'm not filming or having my photo taken, you can find me in bed.), and we start to film. Normally, we film in videos, with me doing my own stunts, and my landlord (aka Sahasra) filming. Then, she'll post it on this thing called Flipgrid. It's where kids can post videos about school, greetings of the day, their personal lives, and, of course, the Potato Olympics. After that, other kids can see the video and se me, the star of the show.

Me: Oh, ok. So, is there anything you want our readers to know?

Piper: Um, I don't think so. If I think of anything I'll tell you.

Me: Ok, that's fine. You don't find if I ask you some questions, do you?

Piper: No, that's what you've been doing this entire time.

Me: Oh, good point. Anyway, why is your name Piper? I mean, you're from Peru, and you moved to the US, so why is it Piper? That's kind of an Irish name.

Piper: Oh, well, I guess my name is Piper because some people in my family are Irish, and when the family decided on my name, Piper was at the top of the list. Plus, I like Piper. It's pretty, and has great alliteration. My brothers' names are: Peter, Payton, Phoenix, Parker, Percy, and Pip. And I have an older sister who's totally awesome, and her name is Paige. My friends' names (Sahasra came up with both their names) are: Penny and Patricia Potato Jr (she's actually the third, but that's a LONG story). Potatoes just really like alliteration.

Me: Cool, well is there anything else you want to say to the readers? Or anyone else too.

Piper: Yeah, my motto: Do awesome, be awesome, stay awesome. Bye!

well, you heard it from Piper yourself folks, Do awesome, be awesome, stay awesome. I like that. Have a great day, week, month, year, life, whatever you want! Stay tuned for more from News From The News: The Potato Olympics! Bye!

News From The News: Potato Olympics: Piper the Potato

The Potato Olympics is a time for all the spuds to come together in a time of festivity, frolic, and fun. But this is no game. It is a once in a lifetime event for athletes of all ages (some over 60, some under 25) to come together to prove who is the CHAMPION! It is so important, that even though school was out, this happened online. Piper the Potato is quite a young competitor who is hoping to win for the greater good: stopping the creation of tater tots.  Here is her biography.

Piper the Potato is from Peru. Her partner is a perfectly plump pomegranate. 

Born: In Peru (majority of family was born in Ireland)
Family: She is the only girl in her inner family (other than Mom) so she is very competitive. Piper's family kept migrating, so they wouldn't turn into French Fries. (They did stay in France with some eggs for a year) But after Piper was born, they settled down in the US of A.
The Olympics: Piper is entering the Olympics because she wants to be famous, and she wants to convince people to stop eating potato chips. She lost her uncle that way. He got put in a barbecue flavored Lays bag
Personality: She is funny but hard working.
Dreams: She wants to be in history as the winner of the 2020 Potato Olympics.

I hoped this feature helped you understand the history of our awesome athlete, our professional potato player. Stay tuned for more news from this channel News From the News, and keep your eyes (and ears!) open for for from this segment, the Potato Olympics.

In the story Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond: Game of Stars, one social issue is inequality. I know this because in the story, all of the monsters get rounded up for the games. This is not fair because the monsters never gave consent. Another place in the story I know this is when they mention the king. He doesn't let Neel become crown prince - because he's half rakkosh -   even though he's older. This is not fair, because Nell might have been a better king than the Raja, if he had a chance. And a final area I know this is when Kiran finds out about the truth about the PSS. Half of the PSS are rakkoshis, including Naya. Then, Kiran leaves them. This is not fair because they can't help that they're rakkoshes. They're also good guys. These pieces of evidence show that one social issue in this book is inequality.   

From the Perspective of a God

Art is very abstract.
Or not.
    It can be a painting. 

Or a poem.

    Or anything else too.
Some art is weird.
    Like those in museums.
But some are good.
   Paintings like Gogh's Starry Night.
   Or the art of life.
A life is like a piece of artwork.
   So much can happen.
       Or so little.
   It could be important.
      Or not as much.
But it only lasts for a short time.
Use it up as much as you can.
 It won't happen again.

My Coronavirus Essay

The Coronavirus. Some people don't think it's a big deal, and others are the quite the opposite. In this essay, you're going to truly understand how each side is feeling and why. You may be on one side of the debate now, but my goal is to get you to know the other side. Ready? Let's get started.

People should be very worried about the Coronavirus. One reason I think this is because the Coronavirus is VERY contagious. I know this because it's airborne. That means if you sneeze or cough into the air, the germs will fly around, and land on someone or something. Another reason I think this is because there is no cure. That's very bad, because as I just said, it's VERY contagious. A third reason I think this is dangerous because people don't know if they have it, and that could  be extremely bad.
These pieces of evidence show that people should be worried about the Coronavirus.

People are making too much of a big deal about the Coronavirus, and should just relax. One reason I know this is because on the news, like CNN, they make WAY too much of a big deal about it. Another way I know this is because the Coronavirus pretty much only affects people with bad immune systems. People in the twenties are the safest people in this world. A final way I know people should relax is because scientists, doctors and political parties are taking care of the situation. These pieces of evidence show that people are making a big fuss about the Coronavirus, and should take a chill pill.

Are you convinced? I hope so. In conclusion, some people say that we're all gonna die because of the coronavirus. Others, vice versa. Which side do you take?
