I started a new book series called “Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy”
The first book is about how the Earth is blown up by a mutant, snail-like, extraterrestrial race. It also talks about a book called the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which was never published here on Earth, and which also has printed on the cover the words “Don’t Panic!” in big friendly letters. This are their stories.

Today I read about inventions of the future. This items would come out like in one year or the next decade. For example, there was a bra that could tell if you had cancer or not. There was also a device that could tell fastly if u had risk of heart attack. Also, they were inventing a prothesis for the brain so when you damage it, nothing bad would happen. As a conclusion, these inventions are going to be helpful to us.

today I started reading Little Prince. It is about a little kid who was flying over a desert and his motor did not work so he fell. That kid saw a little prince in the middle of the desert. The prince asked question again and again and no one could stop him. After some days he told the kid to draw a sheep and he did.
11 Pedro Jose Cabrera // Feb 17, 2008 at 5:48 pm
I kept on reading and found out that the little prince lived in a planet which is no bigger than a room. There he has a chair and some volcanoes. He asked for a sheep so that the sheep would eat a tree that grows from every side and then the planet would break. He also told that he could see the sunset a lot only by moving its chair a little.
12 Ricardo Canturin // Feb 18, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Today I read more about inventions of the future. There was a bra that could call 911, because if your heart was beating too fast it meant that you were scared so police would come. There was also a device that if you put your saliba, it will test if you had cancer or not. Finally, there were going to be new cellphones that you could put in your wrist. I hope these items come out soon, because they are interesting and helpful!

Right now I just started reading The invasion of the Boys Snatchers. It s a very cool book. Massie is the most popular girl in school, and one of her friends, Alica, brings in her cousin from spain. Her name is Nina and she is the most beautiful and sexiest girl Massie had ever seen. She was so jealous of Nina. Massie has had a crush on Derington for the last month, but Nina and her strong attidude is trying to take Derrington away from Massie.
14 Ricardo Canturin // Feb 18, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Today I read about Galileo Galilei. He was a really smart guy. He was a mathmetician, musician, astronomer and also invented many things. He is most famous for using the telescope that he invented for watching space. He observed that Jupiter had four moons, that the moon had craters, that the sun had spots and that Venus has phases similar to the moon. Since his observations went against the church, he went to jail. He died in 1642.
15 Vanessa Alba // Feb 18, 2008 at 4:07 pm
I have continued reading invasion of the boys snatchers. There is a welcome party for Nina. Nina wears the coolest clothe, while Massie who is supposed to be the center of attention waas the one less seen at the party. Nina took all of the attention and was flirting alot with Derrington. Since she has big boobs Derrington did not stop looking at her. Massie could not believe that she was actually taking away what she most wanted on Valentines day.
16 Vanessa Alba // Feb 18, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Massie is now very mad at Nina, but she has to play along like she likes Nina because he friends admire her. Especially Alicia, who is her cousin. Massie suddenly starts talking about Derrington in front of Nina. Nina offers to give Masie some advice but Massi denies it. After a few minutes Massie gets an instant message from Derrington and apparently he thinks that the Valentines dance is stupid. Nina gives Massie advice, so Massie takes it and plays hard to get. She is so sure she has Derrington for herself, unless someone else comes and takes him away…
17 Vanessa Alba // Feb 18, 2008 at 4:28 pm
The next day was the day that you had to pick your dance partner. The boys would all be standing in the field and the girls would have to go and catch the one they wanted with a bow and arrow. When they are ready to shoot Massie starts running to get derrington. As soon as she gets there and is ready to shot, another arrow hits derrington first. It was Nina!! She had taken Derrington, and now Massie would never be able to kiss Derrington at the dance. Now Massie was extremely mad. She woul not play Miss nice card any more.

The main character, Arthur Dent, is hung over, and a bulldozer is about to run over his home. He lies in front of the bulldozer, not willing to move. Then, Arthur’s friend, Ford Prefect, an alien, comes over to Arthur’s house. Ford said that they both had to go drink and talk in the pub near the village. But Arthur didn’t want his house torn down, so Ford convinced the one who wants to tear the house down to lie in front of the dozers.
20 Juan Planas // Feb 18, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Ford asks for 6 pints of beer at the pub, and tells Arthur the world will end in 12 minutes. Then Ford asks him if he has a towel, as it is the most useful thing for interstellar traveling. And then Ford buys 4 packets of peanuts. Then, the 2 men went to Arthur’s house, and something appeared in the sky. Then, a voice started to speak over a PA saying the Earth was to be destroyed in 2 minutes.

Today I read the biography of the proffesional wrestler Batista. His real name is David Bautista. He debuted as a wrestler in the WWE company in 2002. He has become famous really fast and has been the world heavyweight champion many times. He also won the Royal Rumble in 2005. He got injured once and he retired for almost one year. I think that he can be the champion again.

In this chapter that I’m reading, they are trying to convince Kristen to let them pay for her president’s day field trip because Kristen is poor and can’t afford it
30 Sofia Gonzalez // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:22 pm

Claire got a crazy haircut from Layne and she is very worried if Cam doesn’t like it. Massie, starts and Underground Clinic For kising ( M.U.C.K.) and her first session didn’t go well. I wonder what will the girls do when they find out Massie if telling lies about her and Derrington.
32 Marcelle Malagon // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Finally… Dylan got what she wanted.. to be skinny again. After the bad flu she had, she went again to her normal size and she is very excited. The girls are relieved because Dylan only talked about how fat she was. Alicia, knows Josh ( her crush ) , has a secret crush on someone else and she is very curious to know. But what will she do when she finds out Claire and Josh kissed? … I need to keep reading this I want to know what Alicia will do.
33 Ricardo Canturin // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Today I read about the Fin Whale. It is the second largest whale in the world and it is one of the fastest.It has a greyish color with lighter underside. It has a white patch in the right jaw, and it is an assymetrical whale. It lives in any waters, from the north pole to the south pole. It is also a migratory whale.
34 Marcelle Malagon // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:37 pm
The girls are finally heading to the bus to go to Lake Placid. Kristen sends an IM to massie telling her she’s not going. Alicia tries to talk to Josh but he avoids her. Claire and Cam don’t talk to each other and Claire is desperate to know if he read her email. What will Dylan do with all these problems? She says she has nothing to worry about because she is already skinny but will she be happy with all her friends worrying so much?.. I look forward to finishing this book.
35 Marcelle Malagon // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I wonder what Nina’s sisters’ told her when she got back to Spain! They must have been very angry after Nina took all their stuff! The girls finally arrived to Lake Placid and they are trying to act normal so that the other girls don’t notice they are nervous. What will they do?

Hello Ms. Guzman. In this chapter, Jack went back to look again in isla de muerta for davy jones chest. He didn’t find it. But he noticed that will didn’t hadit neither. He knew that the person tht was working with lord beckett was the one who had the chest. Jack knew thatif he doesn’t show up with the chest to davy jones, he’s going to kill him. So, Jack went back to tortuga to wait until lord beckett’s ship went into the deck. Jack was waiting and when the ship came in, Jack now he knew that lord beckett was there. He went and looked for the chest and he stole it. this chapter ended already. hope you like it.
39 Marco Sanchez // Feb 20, 2008 at 3:46 am
Hello Ms. Guzman, in this chapter i am going to take about what happened when jack stole the chest, he didn’t know that it didn’t have anything inside again. Amnd also he didn’t have the keys. The keys where next to the chest and when he opened it, He put davy jones heart inside which was in beckett’s cabin and left to the ocean again. When he met with jones the first time, it didn’t go so well. But Jack knew that the only way he can surevive is by having jones chest. This is where this chapter ends. I hope you like all the blogs i made. I finished this book about one week ago so im going to start a new book.

Today I read about the cheetah. It is the fastest land animal in the world, it can run at a speed of 112 km/h. It has a tall body and small head. Its paws are shaped so that the cheetah can run fast. It also has large nostrils so when the cheetah runs, more air will come in and it won’t get tired. Lamentably, the cheetah is endangered and I think humans should do something about it.
58 Ian Riós // Feb 28, 2008 at 2:39 pm
As they sail toward the land of the Maag they get to know each other. Eleria for me is probably the funniest and cuttest character because shes alwayes changing peoples names like longbows and captian sorgan hook- big instead of Hook-Beak. Shes always bothering doing what she likes and making friends with the crew. She even sits on longbows lap and anounces that shes going to take a nap on his lap to everyone not caring their opinion.
59 Ricardo Canturin // Feb 28, 2008 at 3:04 pm
I was reading about the wrestler Jeff Hardy. He started the wrestling bussines very young. He also created a wrestling company with his brother Matt. HE used to work in the wrestling company TNA, but now he is in the WWE. Jeff Hardy is known for his extreme staunts in the ring and how he jumps from tall things. In his whole career, he has been the World Tag Team Champion; Intercontinental Champion; Hardcore Champion; European Champion; Light Heavyweight Champion and WCW Tag Team Champion. He also wrestles with his Brother Matt Hardy as a tag team, and they are known as “The Hardy Boyz”. I hope Jeff Hardy becomes champion again.

Then, it happened. There was silence, then noise, then silence. And the fleet of Vogon ships left.
On the other side of the galaxy, Zaphod Beelbrox, the Galaxy’s president, was cruising on his boat in Damogran. He was a self-centered, distracted, ex-hippy, and bad with personal relationships [the perfect president, ain’t he?]. He went on, driving with his extra arm, relaxing all the time. Then, he went into a globe next to his boat. He was teleported to a place in a nearby cliff to give a speech.

Today I read about the whale Willy. HIs real name is KeiKo. HE was captured when he was a baby, and he worked in a circus in iceland, I think. Then, they bought Keiko for the movie “Free Willy”. Keiko has been in captivity for many years now, and people made a campaign to free Willy and send him back to his real habitat. Scientists have made a discoverie that Willy is not as intelligent as other whales of his kind, for mental problems. So scientists are afraid that he might not survive in the Ocean. Lamentably, Willy died in 2003.

Today I read a book about ancient Greek times. I read that in a greek person life, the boy must study and work while the girl must learn what her mom teaches her at home, which would be sawing, cooking, cleaning, etc. The man of the family would go to sell, work and also go to the public baths which were really complete. Also, a man would go to war if he was trained. I also read about the Gods that lived in the Olympus.

Hello Mrs. Guzman, in this chapter of the story “pirates of the Caribbean”, Not alot happened. The only way Jack can survive in the ocean blue is by having davy jones chest. So, he stqarts looking for it. When Jack, Will, and beckett’s men get it, They start fighting for the chest instead of negociating with Jones of what the three want. But, they have ther key as well, and now they fight for both things. This is how this chapter ends. I think i know what is going to happen on the next chapter.
70 Marco Sanchez // Mar 3, 2008 at 3:49 am
Hello Ms. Guzman, in this chapter they are still fighting for the chest and the key. But then, Davy jones’ people come and now all have to fight against Davy jones’ men. THey continue fighting for everything but then jack gets hit with the boat and he sees the chest and the key together. He puts jones heart in his sand thingy and then Becketts men steals it from him and takes it to lord beckett. All the other people went back to the ship.
71 Marco Sanchez // Mar 3, 2008 at 3:56 am
Hello Ms. Guzman. The next chapter seemed like very funny. When they get back to the ship, Jack saw the flying Dutchman and he started negociating with davy jones. In one, the ship moved to much and he fell to the deck. The sand jar broke and he found out that they had stolen the heart from him. He knew it was going to be from Lord Beckett’s men. Then, he went to look for the heart again back to toruga to look for the heart again. This where the chapter ended. I think something strange is going to happen on the next chapter.
72 Marco Sanchez // Mar 3, 2008 at 4:02 am
Hello Ms. Guzman, in this chapter like i said on the blog before mis a little bit strange. Lord beckett sees jack going to him and he know he’s going to ask for the heart. Then, when he finally went to the room, They started negociating for the heart which was really strange for him. Anyone didn’t know why Beckett wants thye heart at the end, Jack took the heart from lord beckett and they left tortuga again. That was all that happened on this chapter.

That very night Eleria had a dream, but not a normal dream. She saw 5 ships attacking The Seagull. Those ships where attacking at night. After, that Rabbit decided to go and find out if this was real since in the taverns people might say unwanted things so he could inform Zelana.
78 Jacobo Cantisano // Mar 4, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Today, i finish the book. In this part Pop was killed in a fire incident. He was rescuing some people when the whole building collapsed on him. Carlos was really sad and the mayer said that he would be remember as a hero to there state- Florida. In the next blog i am going to start another book.
79 Juan Planas // Mar 4, 2008 at 5:49 pm
The crowd was mostly made up of engineers, as the Heart of Gold, a super advanced spaceship was about to be unveiled. A government spider tried to give Zaphod a speech, but he didn’t take it. He said “Hi,” and then spotted Trillian, a girl from another planet (Earth, as we later discover), who smiled at him and then looked away. Then, Zaphod said hi once again and the Heart of Gold was suddenly unveiled. Zaphod only wowed and then decided that it was so friggin’ amazing he was going to steal it. He threw a device to freeze everyone and then ran towards the ship.
80 Ian Riós // Mar 6, 2008 at 1:49 pm
So as Rabbit was scouting he heard an interisting converstion. He heard thaat Kajak was planning to hijack the Seagull and take the gold. Which wasn’t that surprising, after all many captians that spend time with him aren’t seen again.
81 Ian Riós // Mar 6, 2008 at 2:01 pm
As Eleria’s dream came true. She dreamed that five ships would attck the seagull at night. So when Rabbit found out he inmmediatly told Zelana and Longbow. They deided not to tell Sorgan to not worry him. So they told them to go out for the night, so when they attcked no one was indangered. Eleria said that there was going to be fire involved. Zelana said she’d take care of it. So when the time came all Rabbit had to do was make arrows while longbow would shoot at the guys in the tillers. he decided to kill them with the arrows stabbed in the head so everyone new not to be dum. So a ship without a person conducting it will flow losedly in the sea.
82 Jacobo Cantisano // Mar 6, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Today I read about the country Angola in a book that tells about every country in the world. My aunt went to live there so I wanted to know more about it. It is a poor country, which suffers of dirty waters and bacterias, like cholera and malaria. The average that people live to is 40 years of life. Angola was colonized by the Portuguese, and it got independant in the 1900’s, not too long ago! I wish countries like this one would get cleaner waters and more medicine.
84 Ricardo Canturin // Mar 9, 2008 at 5:10 am
Today during SSR i found a book in the shelf about Saint Paul and how he became a good person. Paul was a man that persecuted Christians to kill them. But one time, when he was going to Damascus, God converted him into a good person and Paul became Christian. He started talking about God and he also cured many people. He was one of the apostoles. I liked this book.
85 Jacobo Cantisano // Mar 9, 2008 at 7:36 am
Today, I read that Harret was in a hill with a strange man. She asked the man who was this baby. The man didn’t answer. So, she said that she was going to tell us the whole story of what happen. In the next blog I am going to tell more.

In 1196 he debuted in ECW, and later moved to WCW. He worked there for many years until he was moved to WWE after WCW no longer existed. He is known for using many hairstyles, and his nicknames are lionheart, and last survivor. He retired from WWE in 2005, but he returned in 2007. He is still wrestling.

Then the housekeeper opened the door and they found him dead facing down with a bunch of pills near him. They didn’t know how he died. They did an autopsy to him, and in Feb 6, doctors found out he died because of an overdosis of pills to realx, most of them. He died at the age of 28, very young, just finishing the new movie of batman and doing a new movie.
89 Ricardo Canturin // Mar 11, 2008 at 4:30 pm
I read “Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix”. The part I read was about Harry, when he did a magic trick out of hogwartz. They sent him many letters telling him to stay home, and to keep his magic wand. Later, his friends from hogwartz came to pick him up and he went with Ronald Weasley’s family to saty with them. He was going to go to trial later on.
90 Marco Sanchez // Mar 11, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Hello Ms. guzman. There are only 4 chapters missing in the book pirates of the caribbean dead man chest. On the chapter i am talking about, Davy jones is waiting for jack to go to the sea with his chest and his heart. When he gets there where davy jones is, Jack gets a brief attack from the craker. Then, he was damaging the black pearl. This was the end of this chapter. I don’t like to read a lot but i think it was a short chapter.
91 Marco Sanchez // Mar 11, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Hello Ms. Guzman. On this chapter, it also was a really short chapter and it didn’t talk a lot about the story. This book is a lot alike to the movie about pirates of the caribbean. in this part of the story, he receives another attack from the craker and the black pearl is a bout to sink. Jack was really scared and he thinks davy jones is going to kill him. But everyone is scared now and they don’t know what Davy Jones can do. I told you that this chapter was really short.
92 Marco Sanchez // Mar 11, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Hello Ms. Guzman. I think the last chapters are really short because this is a really short one also. But i think its a great chapter. On this chapter, they received the last attack of the craken and they defended the boat. Elizabeth tied up Jack Sparrow to the black pearl so that the craken could eat the black pearl and Jack while they are escaping in a small boat. They were really depressed and will got jealous because he saw Jack and elizabeth kissing themselves but then he understood why was it. That was how this chapter ended and the next chapter i’m going to do is the last chapter in the story.
93 Marco Sanchez // Mar 11, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Hello Ms. Guzman. This is the last chapter in the book pirates of the caribbean dead mans chest. There is alot of disappointment in the actors of the story because they are missing Jack Sparrow. But there is only one person who doesn’t miss him and that is Elizabeth. Then, they went to talk to tia dalma or calipso on how to get back Jack Sparrow. They all agreed that they wanted to bring him back and they looked for the only person who could take them to get Jack and return to the normal world. the person who was going to take Jack back from the other world to the normal world was Captain Barbossa. Ths is where it ends and it how are you going to see jack is going to be on the next story.
94 Jacobo Cantisano // Mar 12, 2008 at 2:14 pm

Like i said last time Eleria’s dream came true, which in this case isn’t good because they were attacking the ship which was succesfully defended. Longbow managed to kill any man dum enough to get on the tillers. Since the arrows came from nowhere in the dark.(All candles or sources of light where off) The men were all in terror especially cause Longbow decided to make the arrows blurt out from the head so everyone could see the falal mistake it would be to try to get on the tillers.
101 Ian Riós // Mar 26, 2008 at 1:00 pm

Today I was reading a book about tiger wood’s father and how he trained tiger. It was fun. Tiger’s father was a baseball player, and a good one. He started playing golf afterwards. When he had tiger, he first received a golf club at his first christmas. I cannot believe he played golf so early.
103 Ricardo Canturin // Mar 26, 2008 at 3:34 pm
When Tiger was two years old, he would call to his father’s cellphone and tell him that he wanted to practice golf with him. His father will be happy and said ok. His father said that tiger’s mom always wanted him to do his school work and his responsabilities first, and after he finished, he could go. He said that if your son doesn’t like golf, you can encourage him by saying “Last time I was playing and i had fun, or I won, etc.”, but to never obligate him.
104 Ricardo Canturin // Mar 26, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Tiger played in championships since he was small, and he won. He would always practice after homeworks, and once they interviewed him. He also taught how a person should make a swim, that when you lift the club, the shadow should be parallel to the ground. I think that tiger is now the best player because he played almost every single day when he was a kid, and he also started from small!
105 Juan Planas // Mar 26, 2008 at 5:27 pm
After a long description of Vogons, a slug-like alien race, the story reveals what happened to Ford and Arthur. They were in a vogon ship, more specifically Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz’s flagship. He was saved by the Dentrassis a race that loved Vogon money, but not the Vogons themselves. Ford gave Arthur the peanuts he had bought before, so Arthur could replenish some salts and proteins. Ford told Arthur they had saved themseves because they hitched a ride.
106 Juan Planas // Mar 26, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Ford then found the light switch to the room and even he was surpried at what he saw.
The Vogon Jeltz was feeling irritable, since he had destroyed a planet. He hoped someone would come to tell him it was wrong so he could yell at someone.
Then, Arthur and Ford stared at the Drenassis’ sleeping quarters, which were worse than a football and basketball locker. then, Ford proceeded to tell Arthur about the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. After a short talk about Dentrassis, Earth and some other things, Ford took out a Babel fish, that, as we all know, can translate ANY language to be understanable. An announcement was made, first with a lot of gargles and howls, then clearly.
107 Juan Planas // Mar 26, 2008 at 5:49 pm
The message said some useless stuff, and then that they would be going into hyperspace. After reading an entry in the Guide, Arthur realized he hadn’t gotten killed in the transition, unfortunatly. Then, he was thinking of all the things that had gone away with Earth, and then passed out. After that, he asked Ford what it said about Earth in the Guide. It said ‘Mostly Harmless’ Then, a sound was heard. Ford hoped it were just the Vogons about to throw them into space, because if the Captain was in the mood, he might read some Vogon poetry, which is the 3rd worst in the universe, after Azagoths of Kria, and the worst was Paula Jenning’s which died with Earth. The second worst is so bad that the author read a poem and 4 people died of internal hemorraghing, and one saved himself by gnawing a leg off. When he was about to read a 12 book epic series, his colon jumped up to his neck, killing his brain, in an attempt to save civilization.
108 Ricardo Canturin // Mar 27, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Today I read about a woman in Colombia that got a transplant of hands and part of the arms, at the age of 47. She lost her arms when she was 28, in an explosion. She was the first person in the world to do this and the operation lasted for 10 hours. A woman donated her arms to give it to this woman.
109 Ricardo Canturin // Mar 27, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I was reading about the wonders of the world, but not the seven, just all in total. Like the aztec pyramid in Mexico, the great wall of China, in which many people died during the construction. It is also visible from space. Another one is the Angkor, which is located in Asia. The StoneHenge, the roman coliseum, Machu Picchu. The ones that dissapeared are the hanging rivers from Babylon, and the Guzah pyramids. I cant believe that ancient people were able to build this!
110 Juan Planas // Mar 28, 2008 at 3:49 am
Unfortunatly, the Captain wanted to read some poetry. Arthur and Ford were strapped into poetry chairs, and were connected to electrodes and other things so that the prisoners wouldn’t miss any of the poem. As the Captain started to read it, Ford started having spasms. As he was finishing, Ford gave a giant final spasm and then went limp. Now, Arthur and Ford had a choice: be thrown into space or tell the Captain how good was the poem.
111 Jacobo Cantisano // Mar 29, 2008 at 1:42 pm

In Eleria’s dream she dremt five ships attcking. So as i said Longbow shot anyone who dared to go on the tillers. So the plan was that the ships stayed floating loosely so nothing could get close to the gold. Rabbit fed as much arrows as Longbow needed so it all worked out because of how their clever plan was executed.
115 Ian Riós // Apr 2, 2008 at 1:05 pm

She survived, adn after 4 months of her birth, she weighed 2 kilograms, and now she could digest better and breathe better. It’s a miracle that she survived, doctors say, and i think it’s true.

I was reading about the famous guitarrist Saul Hudson, better known as “Slash”. He go this nickname from a family friend, saying that he “was always in a hurry”. Slash started playing guitar at the age of 14, and dropped out of school. He decided to form a band later with a friend. They found a bassist and a singer, and they formed Guns ‘N Roses. This band was great and after many years of playing, they separated. Slash played with many famous singers too, like Michael Jackson. He also had another band called Velvet Revolver. He has received many awards, and he has also had the opportunity to be in a videogame called “Guitar Hero III”.

I read about the guitarrist Kurt Cobain. He was singer and guitarrist of the famous band Nirvana. Kurt since small liked to sing, and he would sing Hey Jude, from the Beatles. When he was 2 weeks away from graduating, he dropped out because he didn’t have enough credits to graduate. For his birthday, his uncle gave him a guitar. He saterted practicing and he would also practice with a friend called Krist Novoselic, who played bass. Together they formed Nirvana, but they needed a drummer. They finally found Dave Grohl, and recorded many albums. Lamentably, Kurt suicided himslef, with a gun on April 5, 1994. In his memory, they put a sign at the entrance of Aberdeen, Washington, which is where Kurt was from, saying “Welcome to Aberdeen - Come As You Are”. Come as you are is a song by Nirvana.

With a gun, he first assesinated 2 people in the residentials and 30 minutes after he went into another building and shot anyone that got in his way. Authorities say that a passional obsession got led the student to do this. I can’t believe how he took a gun to school, and why they sold it to him!

Today I read about the biggest portrait in the world. It is 17 m², and it represents the face of the ex president of Russia, Mijail Gorbachov. It was drawn in pencil, and it is also the biggest pencil drawn picture in the planet. It took 2 years to finish by Josef Noebauern, and he exposed this picture in Berlin, last year. It was sold in a bid, and they took it for 20,000 euros. I saw the picture, and the drawing was like perfect. I thought it would be difficult to draw in big, but this artist drew it great.

I read about when the spaniards came to the Americas to conquer. Like Hernán Cortés came to Mexico and he conquered the aztecs after a difficult war. Also, Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incas also by war and capturing the Inca emperor, just like Cortés did. Afterwards they would colonize these lands and they would be ruled by the spanish.

I read about Steve Irwin, known as the cocodrile hunter, who was a wildlife expert. He had his TV show in Animal Planet and he would take risk of going out to the wild and encounter with many animals. Once he also did this with his daughter, and he fed a giant crocodile with his 2 year old son. Unfortunately he died while filming a documentary on rays, and the ray sting him in the chest. Seconds later he died. Steve filmed more than 50 documentaries and he always defended any animal, even if they were dangerous.
134 Ricardo Canturin // Apr 15, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Today I read about 2 robbers that robbed a car. 5 minutes after, 2 other robbers told them to get out of the car. This is funny, a robber is robbing a robber. They had no choice, since the other robbers had guns, so they left the car. I also read about the most expensive wedding cake in the world. It costed 20 million dollars and it was decorated with diamonds. At all times there were guards taking care of the cake, so no one will eat it, i suppose. I can’t believe how people could eat that cake, if it had diamonds. It would be dificult!

I was reading a book that is called “Chasing Vermeer”. It is kind of difficult, since it has a lot of mystery in it. At the beggining it even tells you that there is a secret in each picture related to pentominoes, there is a hidden code and you have to solve it. I was trying to do that but I didn’t understand what I had to figure out. The book is about three leters that were sent to three people to help identify a crime that is centuries old. The main characters of the story are Petra and Calder. I think the setting of the book is like a misterious place were things have happened and it is not safe, because a crime has been commited.

I was reading captain underpants, the first book. It is fun and entertaining. It was about two kids named George and Harold. They loved to make comics and to draw. Their favorite hero was Captain Underpants, and they made comic books from him. Once, they hipnotyzed their principal and they turned him into captain uderpants for fun, but it got them into serious trouble. Mr. Krupp, their principal really thought he was the hero. He tried to defeat bad guys and stuff, but at the end Harold and George poured water in his face and he turned into the mean principal again. The next books are also of Mr krupp defeating bad guys.

I read about the Roman Colisseum. It was constructed from 72-80 ad. It is located in the center of Rome, in Italy. The purpose of building it was for gladiatiors and to celebrate the victories of the Roman Empire. Stadiums around the World were inspirated in this construction, that’s why they are built almost the same shape.

I read about the Eiffel tower, which was constructed by Gustave Eiffel. As we know, the Eiffel tower is the symbol of Paris. This construction is made of steel and was constructed during 1887 and 1889. It was the tallest building made by man, until the empire state building was constructed. 6 million peple a year visit the eiffel tower. I can’t believe how such tall building could have been constructed during that time.

After, he heard this he dicided to go speak with Belanova or Zelana. After speaking with her he goes to Kaldecin, which was a city north of The Trogites homeland. When he went to Kaldecin he was looking for an army to aid them during their war. He looked everywhere for an army. He asked eveyone until finally, after talking to a “low class citizen” he turned out to be the leader or commander of the army and he didn’t want to be in the army for usless war or other nonsense. So after Veltan spoke with Narasan, they decided to go to war.

I read about the aztecs.They lived in Mexico during the 15th and 16th century. The legend says that their god toldthem to establish their city where they found an eagle standing in a rock biting a snake. They found this and they uilt the city of Tenochtitlan. They were very intelligent and developed a farming system called chinampas. This method was to build artificial islands on lakes, made from reed, mud and other materials. Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztecs by capturing their leader, Moctezuma. By doing this he threatened the Aztecs and a war occured. Firts, the aztecs won but cortes fought again and finally won. New colonies were formed in mexico and aztecs slowly dissapeared.

I read about a girl that lives with two hearts. She lives in Colombia and she is 6 years old. They transplanted a heart, but they left her heart there so both can help the circulation, and so she can be as a normal person, and don’t have difficulties. This is the first operation of this kind that they do in Colombia.

I was reading about the Monalisa. It was a painting made by Leonardo Da Vinci, who was a Reinassance man. He was an inventor, a musician, architect and artist. They found a paper that contained the death of Lisa Gerhardini, who was the inspiration to make the Mona Lisa. She was a normal woman, she wasn’t famous or a princess or something like that. She belonged to a normal family. I didn’t know the Mona Lisa was a real person.

I read about the wrestler John Cena. He is a wrestler, a rapper and an actor. He is in the WWE, and he debuted on 2002. He was the U.S. Champion and he used to hold the WWE Championship belt for a year. He was also in the movie the Marine, which was made by the WWE. Recently he was making a movie called 12 rounds. I can’t believe how John Cena can be many things at the same time.

I read about the guitarrist Randy Rhoads. He was born in California and he worked with Ozzy Osbourne and he also formed a band called Quiet Riot. He was a great guitarrist, know by his great solo in the song Crazy Train, and the song Dee. Lamentably he died in a plane crash, when he was heading to Olando for a festival. Rhoads has been a great influence to many guitarrists.
