A while ago a theatre group came to our school and performed a play called the monkey’s paw. It is about a monkey’s paw that grants wishes but the wishes become curses. The acting was great and the story kept all of us on the edge of our seats. It was very entertaining because the set was great and the theatre was dark to make the scenes more anticipating. In the story there is a woman from India who visits her friends in England. While in her friends’ house her friend asks her about her Monkey’s Paw. She says it is magic and grants three wishes. Her friends family doesn’t believe her and she throws it in a fire. Once she leaves her friends get the Monkeys Paw. They test it out by asking the paw for 200$ and their son leaves from work. Late that night they are worried about their son not being home yet, when they get a knock on their door. Thinking it’s their son, they rush to the door but instead it is the local coroner. He sadly informs them that their son got caught in machinery and brutally died. They are heartbroken and start crying. A few days have past and the wife is still sad, when she exclaims that they should wish for their son to be back. The husband thinks it is a bad idea but after getting pressured by his wife he does the wish, but then  realizes his son will come back like a mutilated zombie. Horrified, they rush to the door as they hear moaning and screams outside. The husband quickly takes the paw and wishes for his son to be at rest, and the noises stop. That is the end.

 

For the perfect planet project (see other blog) we pasted the writing into a book. We made the book using plants and ink and we hand printed, and a woman named Mrs. Gignoux helped us make our books. Her website is: https://gignouxart.com/

A while ago an astronaut named Col. Terry Virts came and spoke to us at our school. He was very nice and it was interesting to learn about how space is. Terry Virts was in space for six months, and now he is retired. He described every part of his experience and showed us pictures, and he told us a lot about space and rockets. Col. Terry Virts used to be a US Air Force test fighter pilot. he graduated from U.S. Air Force Academy, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Harvard Business School. Some of the books he has made are How To Astronaut, View From Above, and Apollo 11: To the Moon and Back. Col. Terry Virts has gone on three spacewalks and has gone on the Space Shuttle.

He also has a book which he made, and a website which I will link below.

Since I just ranked the Chapter 4 Season 2 skins I’m just going to do it for the other seasons, starting with Chapter 4 Season 1.

8: Helsie – for the page 11 skin in the battle pass, this is just a bad skin. It’s not interesting, the styles aren’t cool, and its kinda creepy.

7: Dusty – this is the same kind of thing for Helsie. For such high up, its a bad skin. The only good thing is that the other style is kind of cool.

6: Nezuki – This skin would be much cooler if you could actually see the eyes like in the icon, and the hair didn’t just cover up the face. Other than that, its an okay skin.

5: Selene – this is the first skin in the battle pass and is kind of cool. The moon style is also pretty cool.

4: Geralt of Riviera – the Witcher is a famous game and show so it is cool to see him in the game. I really like how detailed he is but in my opinion the second style looks too similar to the main skin.

3: Doom Slayer – I really like this skin as well and the other styles are amazing also.

2: Massai – this skin is the second skin and is very cool. I love this skin and with his mask on he looks really cool.

👑 1: The Ageless 👑 – This is the Tier 100 skin and is definitely the coolest. He looks so cool with all his armor on.

This was another LA project very similar to the My Story one (last blog) except in this one the story had to have a lesson of meaning. This story is one that my grandpa told me and the lesson is don’t be cocky and arrogant. This is not the original, this is a version I made up myself.

Once upon a time there was a king named Queefus Squintillion Pringleton. King Qeefus loved watching TV Shows on his TV. But whenever anyone came to his house, he would only watch TV on TV. So one day, his assistant, Jamarius J. Fingernoodle Jr put out a challenge on Instagram that whoever found a TV Show the king didn’t like, would get a free iPhone 15 Pro Max HD UltraHTP Surround Sound 64k full 9 inch screen. Two boys in a nearby town heard of this and immediately started looking for a TV Show. Eventually they found one called Boyyo The Big Burd’s Adventures that was so awful is made their entire house get stage six pneumonia. The two boys’ names were Quincy D. Doodleberry III and Quanlingling Bugglesmith Bingleton VII. The two boys went to the kings palace, but the estimated wait time was 94 years. Luckily, Quanlingling had made a online reservation, so they became first in line. When they walked up to the kings Massive 90 inch Supermax plasma screen TV, they put on the show. In the show, there was a bird named Boyyo, who came to a house, ate a piece of grain, and left. This repeated for 674 Seasons. The king stopped them after the first 94 seasons and gave them the prize. The end.

Hello. I had a project in LA where I was to tell a story that was dear to my heart. this is a story that my grandma told me every night. I have written my version and the original version. I hope you enjoy.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom called Zaxberikudikitis there was a king named King Ham. King Ham was a very good king who everybody loved, but he had a very big secret. King Ham’s ears were 3 times the size of everybody else’s ears! To hide this, he always wore a big red durag beneath his big red crown. He also wore all red clothes including a big red cape. One day while King Ham was getting a haircut the barber he usually had, Turk-E, was away for vacation in Saudi Arabia, so there was a backup barber. The king and Turk-E were the only people who knew about King Ham’s massive ears, so the king told the new barber, whose name was Joe, that if he told a single person about the ears he would get banished from Zaxberikudikitis. Joe agreed and they started the haircut. The next day, Joe was playing fortnite with his friend Bobacious and he said, “Boy, the king has some massive ears!” What he didn’t know was that his mic was actually not muted. Joe went on with his day, not knowing he had committed a felony. Three whole days had passed since the haircut and Joe finally went outside to touch some grass and take a shower, but what he saw horrified him. Bobacious had tweeted about King Ham’s humongous ears, and the entire Kingdom was chit-chattering about it. King Ham walked up to Joe absolutely furious and screamed at the top of his lungs, “YOU BOZO.” Joe, quite apologetic, started saying apologies at warp speed, but it was no use. The King’s Guard grabbed Joe and hauled him to the border of Zaxberikudikitis and was about to throw him out. But right as the guard hauled him on their shoulders to chuck him, Turk-E ran up to them. He had heard the news and rushed back from Saudi Arabia. “Wait!” Turk-E yelled and then he explained that Joe would never willingly do something like this. After half an hour the guard finally let go of Joe. They walked to the town square and told everybody to forget what just happened. Out of fear of the guards, the whole city stopped talking about it, and went back to their homes. Joe only got a 18 year sentence and Turk-E liked Saudi Arabia so much he moved there. King Ham realized his ears were nothing to be ashamed of and proudly displayed them. The King’s Guard all became a family YouTube channel with their children.

 

Original version:

Once in an ancient kingdom in India, there lived a king. The king always wore a big crown that covered his head and ears. But, the king had a secret: his ears were humongous! One day, he was getting a haircut after many many years, so his barber had changed. He called the barber over and took off his crown. The barber gawked at his massive ears and he was astonished. “If you tell a single person you will be killed,” said the king. “Understood!” Replied the barber. After the haircut, the barber went home, but he couldn’t stand not saying anything about the ears. So, he went on a walk to the forest. While he was peeing, he sang, “The king has very large ears!” What he didn’t know is that the tree he was peeing near had heard him. A few days passed, and a festival was going to happen in the village. The lumberjack went into the forest to cut down a tree to make instruments and happened to choose the tree that had heard the barber sing about the king’s ears. He cut it down and took it to the instrument maker and they made lots of different instruments. The day of the festival arrived and the band was in the middle of the village and they were getting ready to play music when the king arrived. The King shouted, “LET THE FESTIVAL BEGIN!” Everybody cheered and the musicians started playing. But instead of their music, the instruments sang out, “THE KING HAS MASSIVE EARS! THE KING HAS MASSIVE EARS! THE KING HAS MASSIVE EARS!” Over and over and over again. The King was extremely angry and walked over to the barber. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???!!!” The king yelled. The barber pleaded a lot and finally the king listened to his explanation. After hearing the barber‘s full story, the king forgives him. He then realizes his big ears are actually kind of cool, and to this day he is still showing his big ears with no embarrassment.

                                           THE END

Even though season 2 of the new chapter has been out for a while, I still thought it would be fun to rank the battle pass skins, so here it is.

8: Imani – even though she is kind of cool, she is very mid compared to some of the amazing skins this season, and I can’t see myself ever using her in game.

7: Eren Jaeger – I have never seen Attack on Titan so I have no attachment to this character, so I can see why people would love this skin but I don’t like it that much.

6: Thunder – this lizard sushi chef is very cool, and I have used him once or twice, but his Sushi Chef style is much cooler that his regular style, so he’s not in my top 5.

5: Mystica – she is a very cool skin, but her other styles are much better and her face just looks a little weird to me. Still a great skin, and when I unlock her I’ll be using her.

4: Renzo the Destroyer – this is the page one battle pass skin, and I was very surprised when I saw him because he is so cool. His mask and fire Mohawk are amazing, and with his cloaked style he’s one of my favorites this season.

3: Highwire –  At first I thought I wouldn’t liked her, but then I saw her in the game and realized she is actually really cool. I really like her high tech look, and she has to be important because she is the person in the Fortnite icon.

2: Mizuki – This is the tier 100 skin, and it is really cool. Her lava style is much better in my opinion and she is a great tier 100 skin.

👑 1 👑: STRAY – Stray is one of the coolest skins ever in Fortnite, and he is a great new Drift looking skin. He is so cool already, and his Renegade Stray style is just amazing. When I get this skin I will definitely be using this a LOT.

I hope you enjoy this list.

Hello. Today I will tell you the Fortnite skins I want to see the most.

10. Eminem

You all probably all know who the famous rapper Eminem is. I think in Fortnite he should have a really cool edit style called Slim Shady. He should also have a live event that’s better then all the others, since he is better than all the others.

9. Jack Sparrow

Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean should definitely have a Fortnite skin. There should be a pirate themed season with lots of cool POIs. There should be a pirate sword mythic and he could have a undead edit style.

8. Stewie

Stewie from family guy is extremely funny and would make a cool skin in Fortnite. He is my favorite character from the show and he is already great with guns so he should fit right in 😂. There could be a mech suit or something he could ride in for an edit style.

7. Megamind

Megamind, being the devious supervillain/hero he is, would be great for Fortnite. He could also have a POI named after him which is a giant Megamind head, or something like that. 

6. Alfred

There can’t be a Batman without Alfred, which is why he should definitely be in the game. He could have one style where he is normal, and another style where he is in a cool spy suit, since he was a spy in the comics.

5. Kai (Kung-Fu Panda)

As my favorite childhood villain, Kai is a super sick character and would do great is a DreamWorks themed Battle Pass and season. He should definitely have his swingy swords in the game as a mythic item, and he should have an edit style where he is in armor. 

4. Percy Jackson

Percy Jackson should be in Fortnite with a Rick Riordan themed Battle Pass and a Trident Mythic and aa water edit style.

3. Walter White

Walter White from Breaking Bad could be great in Fortnite, and he could have an edit style in his hazmat suit. He would have to be bald and have his iconic band-aid.

2. Ronaldo

we already have soccer skins like Neymar Jr. and others, so the goat himself Ronaldo would be great. He could have edit styles for all the teams he’s been in, especially Portugal and Al-Nassr.

1. 👑 SHREK 👑

The one Fortnite character I want to see most is… SHREK. No more needs to be said. I think this is a unanimous decision. Make it happen Epic.

Gracias por su atención.

Hi there! Fortnite has recently released a new update, and it may be the biggest and best update that isn’t a new season in Fortnite history. It is called: Most Wanted. Al heck ton of new items, bosses, and weapons are now in Fortnite so I’ll do my best to take you through it.

1. Unvaulted guns 🔫

The Most Wanted update brought back lots of old weapons that many people, including me, missed. The hand cannon, suppressed pistol, dual pistols, and heavy sniper have all been brought back. My favorite out of all of them is the Hand Cannon. They also brought back the Boom Sniper and Hop-Rock Dualies exotics.

2. Exotics 🎽

Along with the unvaulted guns, they also added a wide array of new exotic weapons. They are all called Heisted weapons and they are exotic versions of existing guns with special powers. The exotics are: Heisted Blink Mag SMG, Heisted Explosive AR, Heisted Run’ N’ Gun SMG, Heisted Breacher Shotgun, and Heisted Accelerant Shotgun. I don’t know the effects off the top of my head so if you are interested, make sure to look them up or try them in game.

3. Bosses 🦹‍♂️

There are three new bosses on the map. They are called the cold blooded bosses. They spawn in these three locations: Brutal Bastion, Faulty Splits, and Shattered Slabs. They each drop an exotic weapon when killed and they also drop a keycard which leads to…

4. Vaults 🗃

At each of the boss locations they are guarding vaults. The keycards they drop give entry into these, and the loot inside is insane. There is new type of chest called the exotic chest which drops an exotic weapon. There are two in each vault. In addition, there is also a Mythic chest, regular chests, and lots of gold bars. I have not been in one yet because I am not good enough to kill a boss so there may be more loot but that is just what I know.

5. Battle Pass 💀

Similar to when Dragon Ball Z came to Fortnite, there is now a new section of the home page that has a mini battle pass for Most Wanted. By killing people, opening vaults, and more you get more wanted level. The more wanted level you have, the more rewards you get and at the end there is a new skin.

6. Heat Level 🔥

There is now a new mechanic called Heat Level. It shows up in the top left of your screen in game and here’s how it works. As you kill more people, open more chests, and open more vaults you get more heat level. There are four bars and they slowly fill up as you do these things. All the heat levels have different effects, and at 4 bars you are over powered as heck. You can regenerate 200 health, get more gold, and much more. This will make a lot of people more interested in the game, which is great.

Over all, I love this update and will definitely be playing a lot.

Hello there. In our new unit in LA Class, we are reading a cool mystery book called The Westing game. In this story, the main objective for the characters is to win the westing Game, named after the late Sam Westing, a relative of the contestants. At Sam Westing’s funeral, his will is read and in it are the rules of the game, and clues for each contestant. One of the contestants, Turtle, thinks the game is won by investing in the stock market, and making the most money, so we did just that. Our groups were each given “$20,000” (not real) to invest in the stock market. The companies my group invested in are Apple, Microsoft, Lululemon, Starbucks, Nike, and Wells Fargo. We predicted that Lululemon would go up, so we took a risky choice and bought 30 Lululemon shares, and it very much payed off (literally). In the first few weeks of the project, we only had 5$, and then one day, we checked the market, and we went up to 130$. After that it just kept going up, and right now we are at 475$. Overall, I am extremely pleased with how our stocks are going, and i hope we keep going up. Here is a picture of the companies we invested in, and our group logo.
