Sleeping Beauty: The Friendship of Fairies

"In amagical kingdom there lived three kind and gentle fairies: Flpra, Fauna, and Merryweather. Together, they worked to bring forth beauty, happiness, and love. Only by the power of their friendship could they defeat the evil power of their rival, Maleficent. One day after Maleficent cursed the infant Princess Aurora with a powerful spell, the three good fairies secertly conspired to protect the innocent baby."

"Maleficent doesn't know anyhthing about love or kindness or the helping others,"Fauna reminded her firends.

Just by reading the first two paragraphs of the book what can you infer about the three good fairies? What can you infer about the three good fairies rival Maleficent?

What I can infer is that the three good fairies really do care about Aurora the infant baby because they eventually start to live the life of four peasents to keep Aurora the infant baby safe and otu of Malefcent's hands reach. To me Maleficent is like the least person in a situation that you would like to see. For example, if your mom gets married with a men and you don't like him in yor situation he can be Maleficent because you might think 'maybe he could snap at any minute. Maybe he starts to get too abusive. Maybe he uses your mom as a three months married package and he leaves her and divorces her for no apparent reason.'

Happy Holidays

I hope that your wishes come true

Cinderella-The Mice Save the Day



Cinderella is a classic fairytale about love(s), romance(s), and betrayal of family. I know that this might seem like a book for four and five year olds but there is a couple of thiings that I would like to put the spotlight on in this book. For example, how the author was so descriptive: Cinderella imaged herself dancing at the royal ball as she held her mother's old dress against herself. It might have needed a few alterations, but they wouldn't be difficult, if only she could find the time to alter the dress herself.


But on the other hand their were somethings that I thought could have been a little better. For example, after her animal freinds(her mice friends) made the alterations to Cinderella's dress, she just thanked them. But was there anything that they did while they altered her dress? If so why didn't the author mention them?

The little books are the books that really make you wonder 'Why do people decide to slack off when it comes to writing children's books? Is it because their littlt? Is it because they don't understand? Or is it because of the way that they were told the story(or stories) as they were growing up?'

Election Reflection

Barack Obama the new President of the United States, as a country we(the people old enough to vote) chose him as its first black chief executive and that says it all. What that means is that now anything can happen in America. This election means a lot to me because this election showed that anything can happen and anything is possible if you What I think that made this election so special Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th belive that you can make it happen. This election also means so much to the country because it shows that a black(African-American)man just won the highest role in the U.S of A.(United States of America)and that if we can change the way that we think about people, then people can change the way that they think and feel about life and the way that we treat our environment.


Today I feel that the country will be ran better all with the help of us(the people), and the President of the United Sates(Barack Obama) because if he keeps up with the words that he spoke then I know and belive that America can change. I belive that Barack Obamam will do a wonderful according to the what he said and what we heard.

And 3 months later she was at their funeral reminiscing the good times that they had together. This hurt internally and externally.

Almost as if she was feeding off of their pain and getting stronger off of their pain. She soon went mute to avoid all of the problems that came to her after the strange "coincidences."


And now Hollywood Rivera was a number one target for all people on Mischief Night.

She knew because of all the strange dreams that she strated having about her dieing. She decided to go out for a walk. But poor little Hollywood never saw that bullet coming…

On the pages of Dead-End Job I can't help to wonder if Frances can survive the graveyard shift? 'I ran blindly into the store, sliding in my greasy shoses, knocking cans onto the floor, ramming into shelves. I fumbled for the phone. I picked up the reciever. I could feel Devin right behind me. I dialed nine, one... His hands slammed the phone down.' "I hoped it wouldn't come to this," he said.

Frances works in during the night so it's called the graveyard shift. So maybe, just maybe one of these days Frances just might not survive that graveyard shift...

Title of book: Stranger With My Face
Author of book: Lois Duncan
Pages read: Page 1- Page 126

My book Stranger With My Face is a book about an adopted child named Laurie Stratton and her blood related twin sister Lia Abbott. They don't have the same last name because their mother [who's name is unknown] gave them up for adoption. The Stratton's wanted to adopt a child because they weren't ready to have their children yet, so they went to the girls house and they chose their one child. Mrs. Stratton picked up Laurie and instantly loved her, but then she picked up Lia and she put her right back down in their playpen. So their mom ended up with Lia and eventually died. So seventeen [17] years passed by and Laurie was still with the Stratton's with two[2] other siblings Neal and Meagan[often called Meg], while her twin sister that she doesn't know about has been in four[4] foster homes.

So it was a week[7days ] before Laurie goes back to school and a boy named Gordon that never payed attention to her decided to start talking to her and said "is that a new swimsuit?" So she replied "No this is the same one that I had last year." So then Gordon replied back to her and said "Well something sure is different about. Why don't you set up camp and stay awhile? Want some lotion?" So Laurie said " No thanks I never burn." And then after that little conversation Laurie and Gordon started to talk more and eventually started going out. But then they hit a big bump in the road. Laurie was home, but her boyfreind Gordon swears that he saw her on the beach with another guy. And now her family insists that that they see her coming in and out of the housewhen she's been at school for hours. But how can she be in two places at one time?
