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?

Horton Hears a Who?

Horton Hears a Who.  The story may seem ridiculous, but it's actually very meaningful. If you want to know why, keep reading!
 One reason Horton Hears a Who is a meaningful story is because it teaches kids important lessons. When Horton realizes that the Whos exist, even though they're strangers, he goes far, FAR out of his way to help them.
Another reason Horton Hears a Who is a meaningful story is because if you're in 4th or 5th grade, you have to do a lot of work using theme. And Horton Hears a Who is actually a really good story for theme. It has many universal messages.
A final reason Horton Hears a Who is a good book is because it's just nice. When I was in kindergarden,  I liked Horton Hears a Who. You would always hope that Horton would save the Who's, and that the Eagle and the Kangaroos would lose. 
 In conclusion, Horton Hears a Who is a good book. It has a moral, a theme, and it's a good book for a bedtime story. If you haven't read it, you should.

XtraMath Essay

Students and kids should not be forced to do XtraMath. One reason I think this is because XtraMath doesn't teach you how to solve problems. It just forces you to do them. My friends and I do XtraMath, and if any one of us gets a problem wrong in Race the Teacher, it takes away all of our previous smilies. Another reason I think XtraMath should not be used is because at the beginning of every new year, it restarts you. Even if your teacher, and your friends and your parents and even yourself knows that you know these problems, and you solved them last year, it STILL restarts you! I've been doing XtraMath since I was in second grade, but I've restarted. AGAIN. A third reason that I think you should not need to do XtraMath is because it takes forever to finish multiplication and division. Thank you for reading.

The Triangle of Mystery


“Cr, Cr”  the walkie-talkie crackled as Houston tried to connect to the world-famous Amelia Earhart. “Amelia, are you there? Amelia?” “Yup, Houston. I’m right here, like I’ve always been.”  “Okay, well, you’re heating up. Take a quick stop before you explode.” “Sir, yes, sir!” Amelia joked. She flew over the Bermuda Triangle. “Amelia, you just missed the island. Take a U-turn. Amelia?” There was no response. Amelia Earhart, the world-famous pilot, went missing.
(That’s not what happened, but just go with the flow. Artistic license.)

What is the Bermuda Triangle?
The Bermuda Triangle (aka Devil’s Triangle) is an area near Bermuda/Florida where people go missing. Specifically, one corner in Miami, Florida, one in Bermuda, and one in Puerto Rico.  Ships that go there disappear. Planes that fly over vanish. Some people think that’s where Amelia Earhart, the famous first female pilot went missing. That makes sense. Some people -most, actually- think that something supernatural is behind this mysterious phenomena. That might be true. Well, in this article, we’re going to explore the Bermuda Triangle, and figure out the facts!

Theoretically… 
One theory is that Atlantis may be under the Triangle. It has ‘crystal energies’, that sink ships and planes. Another theory is methane gas. Gas that’s trapped under the sea can erupt, and water density levels lower, which causes ships to sink. Even planes flying over can get caught. But, scientists think they have found the true answer. Blue Holes. A Blue Hole is a really big bottle-shaped cave. Their opening is 100s of feet down in the ocean. The 2nd Biggest in the world is called Dean’s Blue Hole, and it has a depth of 663 feet. Divers have found out that in these Blue Holes, there are many tunnels. And in those tunnels, there are whirlpools that can affect the surface. They’re EXTREMELY dangerous. Be careful! Now you know different theories about the Bermuda Triangle. Which one is best? If you want to know about more theories, refer to the appendix for more reading material.

Ocean Showdown


Now you know about the Bermuda Triangle. But how much do you know about its competitor in conspiracy theories: The Loch Ness Monster (aka Nessie)? These two are similar in some aspects. One way they’re similar is that both of these involve water. The Bermuda Triangle is a place in the ocean, and Nessie is a sea creature. Another way that these two are similar is that they’re famous! Hardly no one alive doesn’t know about the Bermuda Triangle. And who’s never heard of Nessie? A third way that they're similar is that they’re mythical. Some people don’t believe the mysterious Bermuda Triangle is a deadly magician, and others think that people who claim to see the Loch Ness Monster are liars. These two are different in some ways too. One way is that the Bermuda Triangle is a place. Nessie is a creature, a living organism. Another difference is that thousands of people visit Scotland to see the Loch Ness. You can’t really visit the Bermuda Triangle - Well you can, but no guarantee that you will come back. A third way they’re different is that the Bermuda Triangle is - the Bermuda Triangle harms people. If you fly over, you go missing for good. Nessie won’t hurt you, or we hope so. In conclusion, the Bermuda Triangle and the Loch Ness Monster are similar in some ways, and different in others.

Conclusion

Christmas Break


During Christmas break, A+H came to visit. We watched Frozen 2, made Pani Pooris, saw part of BIGIL, and played with N. We also went to Yankee Candle to make our own candles, and Magic Wings to see butterflies. A few landed on N! For Christmas, I got: A teal and a pink Cotton Candie Cutie (I hoped for purple!), a Harry Potter shirt, and slime. I also got everyone Christmas gifts from the Holiday Boutique. On Christmas, I went to Joshika's birthday party. Hansika and Kavitha Auntie visited. And the Christmas party at school was awesome! There were Pringles (me) and candy canes and cookies! And N is driving us crazy by playing 'boop'. And I have playdates scheduled. Well, I think that's it. Bye!
