It was the middle of twenty-twenty, and for those of who don’t remember this was also the middle of a worldwide pandemic called Covid 19. It was on of the most dangerous viruses every and lasted for a year. Everyone was forced to stay home and wear masks if they were to leave. Natural my family and I were very board. All of my friends had got their first gaming console as the virus started. But I still didn’t have a console. My dad heard that my friends were getting consoles and bought me my first gaming console a PS4. Now I still use this today and it’s awesome. But in the very beginning there was only one game on it. I beat the game immediately and tried to bye a new one. Instead of buying a new one I deleted the one and only game I had and made the Playstaion hard reset for six months! So for the rest of the virus I was stuck doing nothing and nothing only.
Rad Reading March
This month I read The Midnight Brigade written by Adam Borba. This is a realistic fiction novel about a boy named Carl Chesterfield. Carl and his parents live in a town house in Pittsburgh. His family is poor and his parents argue all the time. Mr. Chesterfield wastes all the family’s money on a square acre of land under one of the many bridges in the city. He then buys and starts a food truck business. Know one shows up one the opening day except for a food critic who everyone uses for what restaurant they want to use. The food made her very sick and therefore they got a bad review and know one shows up. The next day at school he once again sits by him self at lunch but see a poster with his name on it and it says to meet under a bridge at midnight. He then finds a boy by the name of teddy sitting in a chair under a bridge with an empty one behind. On his way home he sees something that catches his eye.
I really liked this book because the characters get described really well and there are a ton of details everywhere in the book. Adam Borba did a really nice job on making you fell as if you were there. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a short, detailed novel.
Carl was my favorite character throughout the book for me because he can deal with adversity really well. On page 1, “whenever the fighting got bad Carl would sit on his window sill and count the bridges from his room”. This shows he can deal with adversity because he was doing it from the start or the book. To put this quote into context his parents fight about anything and everything so when it gets real bad he has a way to calm himself down.
My favorite quote from the book was on page 67, “ Sneaking into the town house was as easy as sneaking out. Staying awake the next day was another matter”. I like this quote because I can relate to it. I say this because if I were to have a sleepover I would most likely pass out in the afternoon the next day.
Perfect Dinner
There are so many people I would invite to my perfect dinner but I can only choose three guests. To start off for my first guest would be my friend Kyler. I would invite him because he is really funny and nice, and it’s always good to have some laughter. But he might eat all the food before anyone gets a chance to eat. My next invite would be Elon Musk. I would mainly invite him because he could give me a bunch of money and I want money so I can buy my dream house and spoil myself with anything that I want. Another reason is he can maybe give me a ride to space even though it involves a bunch of training and is probably illegal for my age. And my final invite would be Gordon Ramsey. I would invite him so he can be my chef for the night and make some awesome food. Plus it would be funny to see him criticizing his own food.
Dream Job
If I could have any job in the whole world it would be a Professional baseball player. I would like to do this job because baseball is my favorite sport and it has been since I was a little kid. The first reason why I would do this job is the fun. In my opinion baseball is the engaging sport even though people think that it is boring. Plus I would also get to be with my friends almost everyday. The next reason I would like to be a player in the MLB is the travel. I like to travel in general and MLB players travel throughout the whole season and spring training. Why I would like to travel is to visit new states and towns near the stadium. My final reason would be to get money. I say this because if I have a family then I need money and the MLB averages 4.66 million dollars in a season and thats a lot of money. Plus there is is a chance I could get drafted to my favorite team which is the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Invisible For a Day
I have been granted the power of being invisible for twenty-four hours. I was at my best friend’s birthday party. He had always liked magic so to surprise him his parents got a magician to preform. He did some cool tricks that then lead up to his main trick. He made me invisible for thirty seconds but the effect didn’t go away. He said I would be invisible for twenty-four hours. So first I decided to go rob a bank for some money. I needed money to get food and ice cream so I only took one-hundred bucks. Next I would go show all my other friends that I’m invisible by scaring them really bad. But to get in the house I would have to break in since they would see nothing at the front door. I would keep doing this all day because a good laugh never hurts. Finally ounce nighttime arrivers I would go home, break in scare my family. Then go to sleep until the effect goes away the next day.
Abandoned Island
On a sunny beach in the Bahamas I woke up stranded about a month ago. I didn’t know where I was until I noticed it was an abandoned tropical island. I was on a boat with my family and then I ended up here. There was a large mountain in the center. The mountain was about one hundred or so feet tall There was tons of palm tree’s and the water was the clearest thing ever! The island its self wasn’t super big. There are so many animals like monkeys, iguanas. I live on the top of the mountain. I built a little shack with the help of the monkeys. The monkeys have raised me ever since I washed up here. Anyway the brought me wood and leaves for my shack. For my daily routine I wake up, and jump in the ocean to clean myself off. Then I climb up a tree to grab some coconuts for lunch and breakfast. Next me and the monkeys play around until the sunset. Then I go fishing with my custom rod that I made. After I cook the fish over the fire and share with the monkeys. Finally I go to bed and repeat. Sometimes when I get bored I go over to the other side of island where the seals hang out and swim with them.
Rad Reading-January
This month I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid Big Shot by Jeff Kinney. This is a realistic fiction novel about a teenage boy named Greg Hefley. Greg’s mom wants him to be part of team to boost his social skills. He comes up with the idea of playing a sport, but Greg doesn’t like sports because of moments from his childhood. Anyway in about a week field day comes around. Sure enough he hates every part about it. After field day Greg overhears people talking about basketball tryouts. He finds out that there are two teams with ten players each. He decides to try out to make his mom proud. He thinks he won’t make the team because he sucks at every sport. At the try outs twenty eight people show up which means eight people get cut. Greg of course does horrible at the tryout and he’s happy about it. Little did he know he was in for a treat. The schools best basketball player named Preet missed the try outs. The rule’s state that if a player misses try out they can’t make the team. So Preet’s dad decides to make his own team with every player who didn’t make the two other team. So Greg and his team went on to loss every game.
The liked this book because the book hooks the reader really well. Jess Kinney did a really awesome job of wanting you to keep reading. I would recommend this book to readers who like books on the easier side with a little bit of comedy.
My favorite character throughout the novel was Greg. Greg is my favorite character because he has a good sense of humor. I say this because on page 102 the book states, “My theory about sweat is that it’s your bodies way of telling you you’re working too hard, and you need to take it easy. But when I shared my thoughts with Mr. Patel he just made me run more wind sprints”. This displays his sense of humor because he is most likely one of those kids that is always doing unnecessary stuff that get’s them in trouble. For me those people always make me laugh.
My favorite quote from book is on page 216, “ My shot was good for three points, which put the Funky Dunkers ahead by one. And when the final buzzer went off, my new teammates swarmed me”. To put this quote into context Greg’s coach gave him to the other team so they wouldn’t fore-fit. He then hit a half court shot for his first ever points to win the other team the game. This was the end of the book and I liked the happy ending.
Why Costco is the Best Store
As many people know Costco is a store with just about everything you can name. Costco is amazing for many reasons which include the variety of items, taste testers, and The Costco guys! The first of my reasons is the variety of items they have. For example you can go get an electric toothbrush and then a double chunk chocolate cookie next. This is good because if you ever need multiple things and don’t want to go to multiple stores then just go to Costco to get in all in one run. The next reason why Costco is awesome is the taste testers. Shopping at Costco is already fun its self because you can see a bunch of stuff to see, but then theres more! You can along the way find people on carts with little food samples! This is important because everybody loves food and eating food while in Costco is life changing. The final reason why Costco is amazing is The Costco Guys. The Costco Guys are a dad and son that like to shop in Costco. This isn’t super important but I ran out of things to write about.
Dumbledore Quotes
Throughout the book series Harry Potter Dumbledore says many quotes. “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light”, Dumbledore. This quote is meaning that out of a group of people having a hard time someone can always change that in a second by saying or doing something, because one word can change a lot. This quote relates to me because if someone I know is struggling then saying something kind or doing something for them turns on a lightbulb in their mind that gives them more confidence for the day.
My Hero
Someone I look up to is my dad. There are a bunch of reasons why he is someone I look up to. First off he is a caring and loving person. For example if your having a hard time he’ll help you with anything you need. Plus he’ll get anything you need whenever you can’t get it yourself. He teaches me everything that I need to know at my age. Another reason is he helps me with whatever I need. For example if I need help with math homework or sports he’s where I go first. I say this because he is really smart and he is good at communicating through stuff. Finally he is a great person. He is an all around funny, kind, and nice guy who cares about everyone he knows. This proves the statement because I want to be like him and caring about everyone and making some peoples days is really important. That is my hero.
