A Long Walk To Water / Summary

 Chapter 1

Salva (the protagonist) was diligently learning at his school when suddenly a loud noise came from outside. The teacher told the children not to panic and headed outside to see what the commotion was about. Then, she ran back inside and said to hide in the bush. Apparently, Northern and Southern Sudan were in a war. You see, at the time the Northern side was mainly Muslim, so the government wanted all of Sudan to follow the religion of Islam. However, the Southern side refused to practice Islam because they have a different set of beliefs. Now the two sides are fighting and the crossfire finally came to where Salva and his family's village were located. Most of the kids were too afraid to move and some immediately ran outside (away from their villages because that was where the fighting was happening), Salva was one of those kids.

Chapter 2

Salva had been walking with a group of people whom he knew nothing about. One of the men said to everyone, "Separate into groups of your villages!". Then the walk continued, however, shortly after a group of rebel soldiers (Southern Side) told the groups to separate from the woman to the men. Salva considered himself a man although he was still a teenager and walked over to the other males. One of the rebel soldiers saw what he was doing and pointed his gun at him. Salva suddenly had a rush of fear and closed his eyes. When he opened them again the man was laughing and said he was still not a man. The soldier gently pushed Salva into the women's side where other children like him were. 

The walk continued again and the men were supposed to stay and help the soldiers. Fortunately for Salva, he was in the women's side so he hadn't needed to work.

Chapter 3

The group that Slava was in had taken a rest. But by the next day, they had left him. He was in shock and didn't know what to do. Thankfully, there was a house close by so he walked over and knocked on the door. An old woman opened the door was surprised to see him. She kindly let him in and gave Salva food and water. Then asked what was Salva doing here. He explained everything that happened, about how he was separated from his family because of the war and then his group had left him. The woman obviously had sympathy for him and let Salva stay for another night or two. After the days the woman explained that she needed to head over to the nearest village where there was water. Salva couldn't come with her and he begged to let him come with her. Unfortunately, she still said no and another group had come. 

Chapter 4

At that point, the woman left Salva had asked to join the group that passed by. They were Dinka (tribe or clan) just like him which was the only reason he was allowed to stay. The woman from before had given him a bag of peanuts and gourd for water before leaving so he silently thanked her for that. Afterward, the group continued walking for hours and even days. A man named, "Buska" was from a different clan but still stayed with them. Suddenly, the man stopped moving and Salva followed. Then Buska started running and again Salva did the same. He had been following a bird and found honey! Buska told Salva to bring the rest of the clan where the beehive was! Tonight they were going to feast!

Chapter 5

Salva and two other people had injuries due to the bee stings. However, according to Salva it was all worth it. Only one man wasn't able to enjoy his honesy that was because he got stung on the tounge. Salva felt bad for him, but knew he couldn't do anything. Before everyone finished the honey Salva had saved a part of the beehive (beewax) and wrapped it in a blanket. Then he would chew on it for the memory of honey. One day as the group was walking Salva accidently stepped on someone's hand. It was another kid named, "Marial" and the two of them quickly became friends (all because Salva stepped on his foot). Marial too had lost his family which is another reason why they became friends. Marial told Salva they were going to Ethopia and he was shocked, the goal of walking was for him to find his family, not go father away from them! 

Chapter 6

While talking to Marial Salva had found his uncle! Sure, he hadn't seen him in a while but it was still good to have some relatives. Suddenly, the group was in a part of the region where dessert was everywhere. Lions would feast on their prey at night so whenever the group slept two or three men would keep guard. One night, Salva ahd said goodbye to Marial and the next day he was gone. Salva searched everywhere but couldn't find him. Then Uncle told him the said truth that Marial had been killed while asleep by a lion.

Chapter 7

Salva felt depressed and scared at the same time knowing that Marial was gone. He would have wanted for Salva to make it to Ethopia. However, Salva just couldn't stop crying. First he had lost his family, now he lost his only friend. Who would he lose next? So the kid stay near his Uncle at all times and they continued walking until the only thing left between Ethopia and them was the Nile River. Uncle and a group of other men started building ships to float across the river.

Chapter 8

The boats calmly floated halfway through the Nile River. Then they stopped because there was an island full of food run by other people! The people had to bed for food while Uncle didn't need to ask. It was either that they knew he was the leader or that he had a gun. It didn't matter because Uncle had given Salva some food to eat and then the group ahd slept. However, the mosquitos came started stinging everyone while they were asleep. By morning there was no one who didn't get stung. They quickly got abck on the boats and start floating through the other half of the river.

Chapter 9

The desert was still fearless and burned the whole group. Up ahead, Salva saw 9 big rocks (or so he thought). When he looked a it closer he realized they were the bodies of 9 men from their group. 5 of them, had already looked dead but the other 4 still had some life. One of the woman grabbed her gourd and poured water into one of the men's mouth. She cried desperately for him to get back up and two other women did the same thing. Salva felt like giving some water too but his uncle stopped him. He was still young so there was no reason to give water, others could manage better. 

Chapter 10

As they were walking Uncle stopped Salva. He explained that he needed to go back to war and fight for his people. Salva was saddened and begged his uncle not to go. As almost on cue a group of rebels walked towards the group. They saw Uncle with a  gun and asked whether he was with the rebels. Uncle replied with a no and the soldiers tied him to a tree. Then the men looted whatever they wanted from the people in Salva's group. Before leaving, teh soldiers walked over to Uncle and shot him 3 times. That was the last time Salva ever saw his Uncle. 

Chapter 11

Soon enough, the group had made it to a refugee camp in Ethopia. Salva had never seen so many people in one area. It was pretty huge (get the pun?) for him. The kid was determined to find his family if they were here. Anyway, suddenly Salva saw a orange headscarf and walked towards the person who was wearing it. Apparently, the orange headscarf reminded him of someone from his tribe. Then, he saw that it was a woman and as tall as his mother. Salva rushed over to her and knew he mustn't lose her!

Chapter 12

After a few minutes of Salva knew what his Uncle meant when he said, "Few people survived the attack of your family's village". Uncle was implying that his family was most likely dead and he was alone by himself. Six Years Later, Salva had heard knews about the refugee camp being closed due to the governent falling apart. And it wasn't just this camp, it was every camp in Ethopia! Suddenly, the main entrance to the refugee camp had been broken. A group of soldiers were forcing people to leave, many were being shot. Salva was terrified and refused to die so he ran just like everyone else. Then suddenly, he knew where the soldiers wee forcing the people to leave. The Gilo River, known mostly for its crocodiles!

Chapter 13

Thousands of people lined the riverbanks and soldiers on their horses were forcing some to jump into the water. Others were too afraid and did it by themselves. Salva watched as almost half of the people in the water were swept downstream and plunged into the water by a crocodile Salva had lots of fear but knew he must make it across for his family. So he went down and started running with all his force. A boy behind him wrapped his hand on Salva's neck and dragged him underneath. Then the grip on the neck loosened and Salva was able to get his head back above the water. 

Chapter 14

Spoiler Alert: Salva made it out the water and ventured with a bunch of boys to another refugee camp in Kenya. There, Salva was taught English by a man named, "Micheal". He was an aid worker that came from Ireland. Salva was determined to learn English before Micheal had to go abck to the U.S. However, Micheal also taught Salva other things like how to play Volleyball. They became good friends. Then one day, the aid workers announced that 3000 people from the refugee camps were being selected to go to America. Salva was super excited because he met all the requirements. Still, there was still a chance that he wouldn't be able to go. After the first 2 or three sheets of names going to America Salva gave up. However, Micheal read the 4th one and found his name on it, Salva was going to America!

Chapter 15

Salva said goodbye to Micheal and met another aid worker who talked to the 8 peopele selected from this refugee camp. The woman had a bit of trouble speaking to Salva and the 7 other people because she could only speak English and a bit of Arabic. Soon enough, Salva was on a plane by himself to New York city, where his new family was waiting for him. They were a white couple with 4 children and happily greeted him. At first Salva felt as though he wasn't fitting in but the family enver laughed at him or made fun of teh way he was dressed. They became close friends and Salva appreciated there help.

Chapter 16

After being a month in America Salva got an email from one of his distant cousins. They ahd said that his father was alive and at a hospital in Southern Sudan. Salva knew this was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and started filling out lots of paperwork. Soon enough, he was on his first plane to Uganda. Then from there, he took a 2 day trip on a truck to the clinic where his father was being held. Salva was fasinated by the scenery in Sudan. Then again, he felt like memories of his childhood were coming back to him through the dirt roads and desert. When Salva got to the hospital he asked where was his father, "Where is Mawien Dut Ariik?".

Chapter 17

At first his father didn't recognize him because of how much he grew. However, after a few awkward moments they started hugging. Salva's father explained that his mother and sister's were at the village but it would be difficult to get there due to the war. Salva swore to come back and bring the family together and his father said goodbye. Later on, Salva organized a group project where they would bring water and food to Sudan. It was basically like being another aid worker. That was the end of the book. 

For today's post, I'm going to talk about my book called, "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard". I think that this book is really interesting and totally worth $20. I just hate that my father wrote my name in the book. He could have done it on the inside of the book but not on the side of the pages! To be honest, whenever I have one of the hardcover books written by "Rick Riordan" the first thing I try to do is take off the cover. Because without it the front of the book just has a symbol, but it looks way better in my opinion then the paper cover. In case you don't know about "Rick Riordan" he is famous for making books about gods. So far he's done "Greek Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Norse Mythology, Korean Mythology, and Mayan Mythology". Unfortunately, the man hasn't done Chinese or Japenese Mythology because that's what I really want to see. I'm not that interested in Korean gods. 

Anyway, now I'm going to summarize this book. Magnus Chase is the protagonist and is met with a task to end "Ragnorak". In case you don't know what that word means, the definition of "Ragnorak" is the final battle in which the all of the Norse gods fight against Loki who is teamed up with Hel (Goddess of the Underworld) and the undead, giants and other deadly beasts. Apparently, Ragnorak is supposed to happen but Odin (all father or creator) and his team of gods delay it. However, this time the job was passed onto "Magus Chase", the son of Frey and Freya. Thankfully, Magnus has a team of his own which include, Mallory, Alex, Sam, HearthStone, T.J, and Blitzen. On the journey for this book, they found out that in order to beat Loki they need to defeat him in a flyting. Back in those days, a flying meant a competition of insults. 

There is a mead (an alcoholic drink made of fermented honey and water) made by Kvasir (god) that has the power to grant it's user a boost in the poetry unit.  Magnus and his crew set out to find this mead and find Loki's ship before it gets close to Ragnorak. Then they fight and whoever wins either saves the world from chaos and destruction or the 9 cosmos will be disintegrated into nothingness. The one thing I always about these type of story plots (the one where the evil guess wants to destroy the world) is that there is literally nothing you can do then. Now, if they wanted to conquer the world that is a different story. Let me explain, destroying the world would put the evil guy with no one if he even survives at that point. It's basically a lose-lose situation. You're killing everyone including yourself! Someone besides me needs to recognize this...

That is pretty much the summary of the book. I didn't want to literally go by what happens one event after another because then I wouldn't have enough space to put everything into one post. Then, whenever I say I'm going to write about it next time I never do. However, I will give some spoilers before moving onto Google News. For one thing, HearthStone meets his father (who was turned into a dragon) who had the mead and kills him. Then roasts his heart and eats it to apparently gain his wisdom, Spoiler 2: Magnus Chase doesn't insult Loki because he knows it isn't going to work and instead talks about how good he and his team are. Spoiler 3: Alex and Sam were children of Loki but hated him, which was why they joined Magnus Chase's group. Spoiler 4: Alex has the powers to swt=itch genders and is basically dating Magnus, the two of them open a mansion where homeless kids can come by and have a good sleep and food to eat.

Okay, I just forgot that today was the first day of "Spring Break"! The story that I'm going to be talking about is mainly Fortnite and my thoughts on Donald Trump. So as you should already know "Fortnite" is America's number one game in the world and just added a new weapon. This new weapon is called, "The Guided Missile" and apparently you get to control where the missile goes. I thought it was going to be where you could pick a landmark and the missile would come raining down but apparently not. Still, it looks really cool and I hope to get it soon. Now my thoughts on Donald Trump, he is the most disgusting, uncompassionate, untruthful president in the United States (jk there is probably a worse president). These are my thoughts mainly because of his immigration law. There are children who's parents are being taken away for not being illegal and he's isn't recognizing it. The man has good intents but is obviously not doing it right. 

Today is the last day before Spring Break (tomorrow) so I'm super excited to start talking about what I did! After turning off the alarm I looked into the hallway and saw a light coming from my dad's bed. That meant he was home, because of that my sister and I quickly rushed downstairs. Since he was home the two of us wanted to finish everything and be ready before 7:10 A.M and 8:00 A.M. At around 6:50 A.M my sister made me and her cereal while my dad was still upstairs. He told me that I was supposed to do it and not her but the thing is I never asked my sister to make it for me in the first place. I was reading my book and knew nothing about her making it. Anyway, for the rest of that time period (7:00 A.M to 8:00 A.M), I just continued reading "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard". I know that at the beginning I said I would get the first and second book but know it doesn't even seem worth it. 

The book is already easy to comprehend because they give lots of information from the previous books (1 and 2). At school (I'm going to skip going to the bus stop because all I did was sit down and wait) I headed into my class and put my bookbag on the desk. Then grabbed the school breakfast which was "Strawberry Mini Pancakes and cartons of Orange Juice". My teacher announced that some eats were going to be switched soon because he just liked to "torture" people. When he said "torture" he meant that its funny to put kids who talk a lot to others that they don't like. And let me tell you, my teacher knows which kids don't like others. Thankfully, because I'm usually pretty quiet there was no need for him to move mine. Besides, unlike most kids in the class, I don't talk that much (in front of him). It was pretty hilarious when he moved one of the kid's desk in the front, right next to a cabinet, that has a pie chart. According to him, the kid will learn without even trying...

The first period was Science my teacher gave my class two options. Either work on your Science "Chapter Test" (already completed yesterday) or watch the videos he put on the board. Now the video he put on the board was a "Bill Nye" one and its okay if you haven't heard of that guy's name since his TV show was made during the 1990's. However, the videos that he took part in still have lots of relevant information on the topic we were learning. And in case you wanted to know that topic is "Physics". I'm pretty sure my class did this last year but according to my teacher were haven't. The man is probably 15 years older but looks the exact same. Apparently, he was in a "Dancing With The Stars" show and hopefully did it as a joke. I say hopefully because in the video he looked pretty funky, with a gray mop head and his partner wearing some old fashioned purple dress. 

Anyway, I'm going to move on over to P.E since Technology wasn't that fun. In P.E my class did our usual warmups and played a warmup game called, "Group Numbers". Basically, everyone in the room moves in a circle towards on direction and does some random stuff like jogging or shuffling. Then when my teacher calls out a random number you have to immediately find people and make a line with them. When the timer is over if you haven't gotten in a line with that number of people or the line that your in has less or more than the actual amount you have to do 10 jumping jacks. My friend and I decided to troll other people and join their line even though they have the exact number. That way, everyone has to do the jumping jacks. It was really funny when the P.E teacher said they had to do the jumping jacks and a bunch of people said it was my fault. However, I looked towards the other direction so she couldn't look at my eyes.

Google News

For the news, I found a story about "Fortnite. I'm sorry if you don't care but that's the only story that I can fill up a whole paragraph. So this post is called, "How Fortnite Became The Biggest Game in the World". According to this post "Fortnite" was made or at least hinted at in 2011. However, no one at the time really cared about it. Then every year there came a new trailer that showcased an animation of the game's plot or just how its played. Eventually, in 2017 the game was finally released and people were actualyl able to play it. I started playing during the middle of 2017, mainly for the battle royale version that relaly brought more attention to the people. Mainly, because it was free. Also, famous people like "Drake the Rapper" and football players got onto it as well. That's how the game was famous. Let me know what you think...

After waking up, my sister and I walked downstairs to the kitchen. Since I had already taken two showers (this week) I put on my school clothes and began to brush my teeth. Then for breakfast the two of us had "Cinnamon, Toast Crunch". For the rest of the time, I just studied for my Math test. In Math, my class is learning about "Pie (3.14.......), angles (advanced version), and the "Diameter, Circumference, and Radius". At first, I had a bit of trouble, but after studying it today I felt pretty well. Anyway, at 7:10 A.M I walked with my sister to her bus stop. There, a bunch of her friends were playing tag and "Hide and Seek". Unfortunately, I had forgotten to bring my  "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard" book with me. So for that whole 15 minutes, I just sat on top of the fire hydrant trying not to fall asleep (wasn't actually falling asleep). 

This may be a bit irrelevant but at the bus stop, there is this kid named, "Ronan" that constantly stands next to me or tries to act like me. Whenever I call my sister a butt (joke) he always says, "Yeah Monkyi, you're a butt"! Okay, he's honestly never said those exact words but that is the type of stuff he would say. Basically, Ronan is always agreeing with whatever I say. It was pretty awkward today when I was just looking for the bus and he was just talking to me. This may sound a bit mean but I don't even remember and a matter of fact don't care what he had to say. It's like he's trying to act cool but it is definitely not going. Besides that, he doesn't know how to cross the road and this one parent whose name I forgot helps him every day. Then again, he is only 10 so you shouldn't expect much.

Let me just write about my highlights for today! During Social Studies we had another debate and it just so happened that I and my friend were both picked again (from yesterday). Thankfully, for today's debate, the topic was about something we were already doing for a month, so I had the notes to use and say to my audience. In case you want to know, the topic was about whether teachers should be armed in the classroom. The notes that I wrote were all against it so when my teacher flipped a coin to see what side each group would get I was really scared. However, there was nothing to be scared of because my group got the against. I felt back for the one team who did get the affirmative because it seemed as though they were also against it. My teacher didn't have enough time to see who won the debate but from what I heard my group should have won (because of me and my friend who was on the same team).

The other two highlights for me were Math and Health. The reason I say Math is because I got a 90 on the test! At first I was nervoused because the questions seemed hard but after a few minutes of reading it and looking at the posters on the classroom wall I understood them. Then once I finished the test I found out that one of my friends got a 90 as well. After everyone finished the test my teacher let us talk until the period was over. Now, the the reason I think that Health was another one of my favorite periods of the day was because my class got to watch and finish this movie called, "Food Inc". It was made in 2008 and my class had already watched about 3 days worth of it. Unfortunatley, the snow days made it impossible for us to finish. Actually I just realized, this is the first full Wednesday in 3 weeks! Due to the snow dya and half days as well.

Google News

There is this post called, "What The Success of Black Panther Says About The American People". Now I don't really get what this post says even though I read it all because it doesn't say the answer. I guess it wants us to find it out for ourselves. However, the story does say stuff about what some people who watched the movie replied with when asked this question. Some said it was just a better superhero movie all in all. Others replied with, it's cool to see that the "Black Panther" resembles the present day of America. And that is actually pretty close to what the author is saying. In my opinion I feel as though this movie is based on the past, though it does have present day elements. When one of the main characters says he'd rather die then be taken into bondage and have no freedom. This relates to back when slavery was a think. Black people on board would jump off saying they'd rather have a quick death than be brutalized and tied up. What do you think?

After waking up I turned off the loud alarm and ran over to my sister. Once she started getting up I walked back to my bed and continued sleeping. Honestly, I just didn't feel like going downstairs yet. Thankfully, my sister had the same idea and the two of us both slept for another 10 minutes. At that point, I had my sweater on and was telling her to get off the bed. We got downstairs and put on our school clothes by 6:40 A.M. Remember, I didn't mention eating breakfast, taking a shower (only me), and brushing teeth. Finally, when the both of us reached the bus stop the kids called my sister to play with them. Since her backpack was already on the floor she ran to the kids and played tag with them. I came prepared for this and started reading my new book called, "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard". I really like this book and almost finished reading half of it.

Back at home, I fixed my hair and styled it to the right of my head. Then put all my pencils in my small pocket. Afterwards, it was just a matter of waiting for 8:00 A.M. At that time I'd leave to head to my bus stop. Once the bus finally reached the school I put my book inside of book pack and waited for the remaining kids to get off (I didn't want to just push pass someone). At my class there were only a few kids, most of them were dropped from the parents. For breakfast, the school gave lemon muffins and a carton of milk (they didn't just give one carton of milk and one lemon muffin). I threw away the lemon muffin but completely drank the milk. I don't know why the school thought a lemon muffin would be a good idea. I just don't like the taste of lemon at all, well then again they probably aren't going to change the breakfast just because of my complaints. 

The first period was Social Studies and my teacher wanted to do a debate. It was supposed to be a fast one minute drill in which he randomly selected 6 kids. I didn't want to go and hoped he wouldn't see me, but after talking about the textbooks it seemed pretty hopeless not to be "separated" from the rest of the class. At first, the topic for the "fast" debate was about "whether dogs should be allowed to poop outside". I thought this would be really easy because my group was affirmative. However, one of the kids just had to say we already did that, and the topic was shifted to, "Whether people should be allowed to kiss in public". I think that this was a very weird and unexpected subject for me to "talk" about but that's what my teacher was best known for. So when it was my turn to make a one-minute speech in front of my classmates I freaked out. It was funny at first but towards the 30-second mark I actually just stood in the middle of the room and said nothing".

Thankfully, I was laughing and sweating at the same time so the timer was close to ending. The one full sentence I said was, "Love should be expressed through the public". I legit said that and then stood in the front of the class sweating. One of my friends talked to me after class and said I seemed a bit nervous. I feel pretty dumb now because I just thought of what to say. This is basically what I thought of, "Love should be expressed anywhere, you should have to be in a private setting to express your emotions to someone. There should not be restrictions on the way people show how they feel to one another. I think that kissing in public is something that cannot be restricted and you should too" (I probably never would have said that anyway.

But instead, I just stood there like an idiot... Hopefully, no one in the class thought too much of that. Anyway, for today's post, I am going to be talking about Fortnite mobile. Apparently, most "male" gamers think that female gamers are starting to play "Fortnite" mobile way more then they are. I guess its just an inexpensive free way to play it without having to waste money. Now don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against women playing "Fortnite" Mobile. But I do agree on something, the female gender is playing it a lot more now that it is free. Some say it's just for a hobby. Other's just want to fit in. Either way, a lot of male gamers are getting tired of it. One of them said that back when Fortnite wasn't on phones their girlfriends would be texting them nonstop. Now that it is on mobile, they try to text their girlfriends and they obviously won't reply as well. Its kind of twisted but just how the world works. Anyway, that is the end for this post. 

I just finished reading 60 pages of this new book called, " Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard". I will explain how I got this book as the post goes on, especially since it was a school day. Anyway, let me begin with the start of the day. After waking up, my sister and I walked downstairs and started putting on our clothes for school. Once we finished putting on our clothes I brushed my teeth. At first, my sister refused to clean her's. However, after a bit of persuasion, the two of us were both clean and ready for school. I took a shower today but my hair still wasn't dry by the time I had to drop my sister to her bus stop. That was why I put on my hoodie on for the whole time outside. While we were waiting for a boy named, "Ronan" came and started talking to Monkyi (sister). Apparently, my sister isn't exactly friends with this kid and let's just say they didn't get along.

When I got into my classroom there were a bunch of kids getting ready for a first and second period. I'm the type of person to start getting ready right before Homeroom ends so instead of taking some of my books from the locker I ate the school breakfast. Whoever's reading this (father) probably knows that I like to drink milk a lot. So when they gave orange juice it just really kills my vibe. Thankfully, there was one more cup of apple juice left and I quickly took it. For the first period, I had Social Studies and my teacher said all the classes (so not just ours) was behind because of the 3 or four days of no school due to snow. Sorry, something I just found out, they aren't going to take days away from the spring break but instead from the end of the school year. That may seem like a bummer to you but right now all I care about is the present. 

Anyway, let's get back to Social Studies. After mentioning the part about the whole grade being behind he starting talking about the debate we were going to do. The topic was about whether school teachers should be armed inside of the classroom. As you already know he loves to talk about what's happening in the present and doesn't talk about the past much often. Back to the debate, the teacher split the class into three groups by giving each kid a number from 1 to 3. Then he gave each kid in those groups a number separately, whichever one of the kids in your group that god the same number as you would also be the one that you worked with to answer the debate. I'm pretty sure I got paired up with mostly boys so its okay with me. I hope that my group got the part that said no because then I'd have the resources to provide (notes).

I think that for this last paragraph I'm going to skip to the part about the book. Once Technology had finished my teacher told everyone to grab their sweaters and stop at the end of the hallway. Apparently, we were going to be going to the book fair. At first, I was disappointed to have no money (or so I thought) but then checked my wallet and found $30. At that point, I had remembered my mother saying she wanted to give me some money since she wouldn't be home for the next 2 weeks. I also remember her saying to use the money on snacks but my aunt had already gotten to full bags worth of chips. That's why I thought there would be nothing wrong with buying a book at the fair. And if my dad didn't approve I could always use the receipt and get my money back. In the end, I couldn't find the first "Five Nights At Freddy's"  book so I checked the "Rick Riordan" and found this!

Now its time to get on to the NEWS! Today's story is going to be on Overwatch. From the latest update on "Jeff Kaplan," there is going to be some new changes to the reporting system for bad behavior. Apparently, this is to help "improve" the game and make it more friendly. According to what the developer said, you can pick up to two names (people who have Overwatch) and make it so you can't play with them. So whenever there are people who you think are "toxic" (mean, annoying, playing the game to purposely lose, or etc) you can just type their name down and then never have to play with them. This system is called, "Avoiding Teammate". When I first saw this name I thought it had something to go with not being a team player or throwing the game. By the way, "Throwing" means purposely trying to lose. Anyway, that is it for today's post.

For today's post, I am going to be talking about what I did yesterday with my father. It's not really that complicated, I would write about my book but I didn't finish. Anyway, let's get started with the post! After waking up I checked my father's room and saw that he and my sister were watching a video. Since I was fairly interested and had nothing to do I walked over and got into the bed. Then the three of us started watching videos about immigration and how Chinese parents abandon their children. I know that in China there was this rule that stated a family can only have one child. The cause for this was because of how rapidly China's population was growing. Today's that rule has been changed from one to two and China is growing massively because of it. In my opinion, I don't believe that the world will be overpopulated because there is so much space! And besides, if that ever happens I'll probably be dead by then.

Once the three of us finished watching about 3 videos my father asked me to put some "bandages" for him. They were like "bandages" but like bigger and stickier. I don't know how to describe it. Either way, I cautiously put it on my father's back with the intent of getting it right where he wanted it to be. Thankfully, there weren't any problems and soon enough we got downstairs. My sister and I quickly brushed our teeth and then waited for our father's instructions. He told us to go ahead and start reading our books, I kindly asked if I was able to finish my "Five Nights At Freddy's: The Twisted Ones". He replied with a yes and I happily got back into the story of "Five Nights At Freddy's". After 50 minutes I asked my father if I could start typing my 5 paragraphs on "Blogger.Com". I don't think my dad was paying attention to me but after a few seconds of waiting, he nodded his head. 

As you should already know I wrote about "Five Nights At Freddy's" and how much of a scary, great, and mysterious book/game it was. I went to google once the post was done and searched up when the next book would come out. According to the website, it would be somewhere in April. I can deal with waiting an extra week or two so when my father comes home I'll ask if he'll get the book for me. Soon enough, I was finished typing and told my dad. He must have heard me walking upstairs because everytime I open the door it's just him looking straight at. The only times he's had to look up or be surprised is whenever he wears his earplugs or is sleeping. It felt a bit awkward once I told him about my finishing my writing so I walked back down the stairs and started playing on my PlayStation. I wasn't afraid of him turning it off or getting mad because I had already finished my homework.

A few hours later, my father told me to get off and go outside. By this time my mom and sister had already left to go outside. Apparently, my mother had set up a playdate with an another Tibetan girl. She asked me to come since the girl had a 14-year-old brother but I instantly refused. My father told me to go out but I didn't know where. That was why in the end I checked to see if my old friends were still at the park. As expected, they weren't and I sat on the bench just taking in gulps of fresh air. A man at the park looked at me and briefly laughed but I chose to ignore it. Always focus on the positive side of things. Never the negative! Unless there is no positive side, but on this occasion there was. The positive side of things was that I knew I had something this guy didn't and that was hair! He was bald but wore a hat to cover it, however when I see something I never let my eyes off it!

Google News

That was all I did yesterday, my father picked me up at the park and we went outside to the supermarket. There I got some applesauce and juice of the same fruit. Then we continued walking and he was searching for some running shoes. Now it's time to look at some stories! This story is about "Fortnite" and the title says, "Fortnite is popular because of console, but lives on PC". I didn't understand what this meant at first but later caught on. You see, players on console (like me) haven't be introduced to a battle royale genre because there just hasn't been any good games out there. Thats why when 'Fortntie" came out a lot of players were addicted because it was a new type of game. However, on PC "Fortnite's" couterpart "PUBG" is another battle royale game and everyone there is familiar on how to play. Basically, its popular because of console but the game was originally created for only PC. Boom, I'm a pro at these things, that is it for today's post, until next time. 

Today I am going to be typing about two books and horror game series called, "Five Nights and Freddy's". So for all those video game kids out there you've probably heard of "Five Nights At Freddy's". I'm not going to say its one of the scariest games in the world but to me, it is. I've played all 6 of the games that have been introduced and not once have I done it without a friend. I'm going to mainly be going into the novels based on the game and stuff that happens in it. Unfortunately, I haven't read the first "Five Nights At Freddy's" book but I just finished the second one, and let me tell you. The books are scary enough by themselves. So for a person like me who's actually played the game as well, it really brings fear into your mind. Thankfully, Wikipedia has helped me out and I got a good summary of the first book called, "Five Nights At Freddy's: The Silver Eyes". Just to let you know the second one (that I read) is called, "Five Nights At Freddy's: The Twisted Ones".

So the first book starts off with a 17-year-old girl named, "Charlie". She came back to her old town in Hurricane due to a scholarship that was given by her friend "Micheal Brooks". The kid, unfortunately, died ten years ago due to an "accident". While at Hurricane she meets her childhood friends by the name of, "Jessica, John, Carlton, Lamar, and Maria". She and her friends decided to take a trip to "Freddy's Fazbear Pizzareia" where "Micheal" had been killed. According to the book the pizzeria was once owned by Charlie's father. However, he committed suicide and the store was beginning to close. While there the kids find out that all four of the animatronics have been left behind (these four animatronics are what try to kill you in the game). No one had taken them away, it seemed as though people just forgot they were ever there. After a short period of time, the group left and went back to their homes. 

All 6 of them know about Micheal's death and are a bit scared of what happened. The next day, they head back to the same pizzeria and Charlie is almost killed by one of the animatronics. The animatronic was being controlled by the console which Carlton and Maria were playing with. Suddenly, Carlton was abducted by someone inside of one of the animatronics. Charlie and the rest of the squad leave to find help, coincidentally they run into Carlton's father who is actually a police officer. However, the man doesn't believe the kids and thinks Carlton is playing a prank on him (I think this is pretty stupid considering how these kids are 187 to 18 years old, now if they were about 10 or 12 years old I'd agree but they aren't). The kids go back to the pizzeria one last time to find Carlton and rescue him. The animatronics on the stage starts chasing them and get them into a corner. Then, a robot called, "The Golden Freddy" says they can leave and explains how they only want to find who killed them. 

Basically, the story ends off in a kind of good note. The man who abducts Carlton is killed due to the animatronic he is controlling (in some animatronics there is this thing called "Spring locks" and when you activate them the locks will crush whoever is inside of that suit). Carlton is rescued and Charlie leaves, but she doesn't know how or what killed her younger brother Sammy. Spoiler alert: it was the man who got killed because of the "Spring Locks". Also, another spoiler alert, the man who supposedly got killed due to the Spring Locks actually survived and is one of the characters in the sequel. Okay guys, just one last spoiler alert, okay? The "Golden Freddy" who lets them pass through is actually the spirit of "Micheal", and the other animatronics is the spirits of kids that were killed by the man who abducted Carlton. Whoever's reading this (papa) is probably on thinking about how much information there is.

Google News

Well, I'm sorry about all the information, just to let you the man who abducts Carlton is actually called, "Springtrap" in the game and like I said is responsible for the deaths of all the kids, even Charlie's younger brother "Sammy". Now its time to go into the news! Papa, your probably not going to care about this because it's about a game so sorry. So this story is about the "Overwatch" league. Apparently, the "Dallas Fuel" is using a "Mei" strategy that really made the "New York Excelsior mad (all the unfamiliar names like "Dalles Fuel" are probably the names of teams). They almost beat the top team in the league! Unfortunately, without the Mei strategy they couldn't win a single game. And I like how "Jeff Kaplan" says that Mei needs a buff. Its just that people don't like playing her or they find other heroes that fit their personality better.

I'm going to talk about what I did today at school! Mainly, because I don't feel like writing a book and it was a half day. But in order to talk about school, I have to begin where it all started, in my house. When I got up from my bed the first thing I did was turn off the alarm. Afterward, I put on my sweater and told my sister to wake up as well. Then the two of us walked downstairs to the kitchen. I was eager to find out about whether it was going to be no school. Unfortunately, there was school so I needed to go. At least there was to be a movie night. For breakfast, I had the usual cereal and brushed my teeth right after I finished the food. At that point, I had basically gotten ready for school completely. The only part I missed was putting on my shoes but there was no point at 7:30 A.M. Once it was 8:00 A.M I said goodbye to my aunt and thanked her for getting the munchkins from Dunkin Donuts.

At school, there were still only a few kids in the classroom. My teacher told me to put my sweater in the lockers and take my seat. He knew that I had a habit of putting on my sweater whenever I'm not supposed to. The first period was Technology, and my teacher said we were going to go to the lab. However, when we got there another class was learning. He took us in about 3 different places before telling us (my class) to wait outside the computer room. Apparently, there was an ESL group that asked whether they could use the computer room. My teacher thought there was space in the lab for my class so he unintelligently said yes. That was the reason we were stuck walking around the whole building for about 20 minutes. The good thing is that I know my Technology person is either a kind-hearted man or didn't want to be rude.

Anyway, all my class did once the ESL group left was play games on the computers. Now let me just say this, we didn't actually play games like "Cartoon Strike, Fortnite, ShellShock Live 2, or even Youtube". Instead, we went on the website our teacher told us to go to "MathWhizz.com" and played games on there. On the website, there is a section called, "Games" where they have stuff like "Tetris" and "Textris". Now on to the next period, for Dance, my teacher reminded everyone that we were supposed to be doing Haiku Dances. Basically, someone reads the Haiku for you while you and your partner make movements according to the words in the Haiku. My friend made a really weird Haiku and then we worked on the movements. His poem had the stuff to do with people eating apples and then people eating people. It was really weird let me say that.

Okay, I'm going to skip lunch and move straight into the movie night. There were four choices that the teachers of 7t grade let us choose from. I'm pretty sure I've already talked about the choices from the previous post but let me reiterate myself. The four choices were, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", "Where the Wild Things Are", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows", and " Hunger Games". Since "Where Wild Things Are" is based on a kids book I didn't choose that, "Harry Potter" is honestly one of the most uninteresting movies I've ever seen, and "The Hunger Games" was something I watched during ELA, the movie I chose was "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". That was the one I really wanted to watch. You see, before voting on the choices I searched up each movie and found out that "Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory" (old one) was actually the scariest on the list!

Google News

Honestly, today was just fun, there wasn't any learning involved but why should there be? I mean today was a half day, last day of the week, a movie night, and the last week before Spring Break. Now it is time to talk about "Fortnite" since that is my 2nd favorite game in the world! I would name it the first but because of how easily you can die in the game I just don't feel like it. Besides, I'm not exactly the best player out of all my friends. Okay, so the title of the post was called, "Teachers and Students Say Fortnite Mobile is Destroying some Schools". I'm not sure if you forgot when I told you this but Fortnite actually came on the phone. Anyway, according to the story, almost every middle school in North America is playing the game and there are a lot of issues. Some schools actually have Mc'Donalds Wifi because of this game. You know, with so many kids using their school's wifi it probably isn't that good. Some schools have resorted to taking down the internet so kids can't play the game. However, I don't think that's very good for the teachers. That is it for today's post!

I've decided that for today's post I'm going to continue and hopefully finish my summary of "Sarny". I know that yesterday I fast forwarded to the ending but left out a lot of things in between. Anyway, let's begin, Miss Laura, Sarny, the coachman, and Lucy had finally reached New Orleans. At first, Sarny felt like finding her children would be impossible. However, Miss Laura reassured her that it would a piece of cake. Apparently, she knew the man who had her children. When all four of them reached Miss Laura's house they walked inside, Sarny and Lucy were shocked by what they saw. There were bathrooms and bedrooms, almost 10 rooms in all! Sarny felt as though she was in a paradise. Miss Laura was pleased by her reactions and let them take a shower in her bathroom. The next day they would be learning about how to help with both the house and Laura. 

The next day Sarny and Lucy were waking up, the coachman who introduced himself as, "Bartlett" showed each of them what their jobs would be like. Sarny would make the food and get groceries at the town market. Lucy would be kepping the house clean and doing the laundry. Bartlett showed Sarny how to make boiled eggs and bread. It took a while but once she finally got the breakfast right Bartlett took the food to Miss Laura. Then the two of them rushed to the market and started getting groceries. Bartlett told Sarny that everyone in the market knew who Miss Laura was so there was no need to pay for the food. According to Bartlett, Miss Laura pays everyone they get food from at the end of the month. While getting food from one of the sellers the man in charge said his name was, "Stanley". 

Sarny at the time wasn't that interested and just continued talking about a reasonable price for the catfish he was selling. Eventually, the two of them walked back to the house and Miss Laura explained the plan. She was going to have a party and invited the man who had her children over. Then, the two of them would talk and hopefully, he would give back Sarny's offspring. Turns out, the man with the kids wasn't bad at all. He bought it off Waller so that the two of them would be safe until the war ended. Miss Laura thanked him and they said goodbye to each other. Sarny was so happy and showed her love to her two children. For some reason, they weren't exactly in tears but I could tell they were just as sad (in some way not mentioned the book). Sarny still needed to continue working so she put them to bed and kept serving drinks to the guests.

Once it was all over Miss Laura got some books for Sarny and her children to read. This was because Sarny wanted her two children to be educated. Soon enough, she knew how to do fractions and the children weren't that far behind. However, Sarny knew there were other black kids who didn't know about the stuff they did. So with the help of Miss Laura, she created a school where they could allow a certain amount of kids to learn math and literature. In the first few days, over 100 people applied, unfortunately, she couldn't take that many of them. Thankfully, some of the kids and adults who she taught became a teacher themselves the started working with Sarny. The school was going really well and Sarny was happy to be able to spread her knowledge with the world.

In case you didn't read yesterday's post- Miss Laura died, she gave all of her money to Bartlett, Lucy, and Sarny, Sarny made more and more schools for black children. A lot of crazy things happened, some of the whats up top and how Stanley was married to Sarny but then died later on due to murder. Anyway, now its time for me to do google news. For today's story, we are going to be talking about the snow! Apparently, this is the biggest amount of snow in NYC (New York City) ever recorded! Before this, the highest was 27 inches. Now it's over 30 inches! That is a crazy amount! As I look out my house right now tit doesn't seem that big. Then again, New York is still a pretty big distance away. That's why there wasn't any school today! That is it for todya's post!

For today's post, I'm going to be summarizing this book I finished called, "Sarny". I should be able to finish everything since this book isn't relatively long. Just to let you know the author is "Gary Paulsen", I've read another one of his books called, "Hatchet" at school so when I first saw the book I expected it to be pretty interesting. The protagonist is named, "Sarny" and she is talking about her past. According to her a man named, "Nightjohn" taught her how to read and write. At the time slavery was still a thing and as most people would have already guessed she was black. Soon enough, Nightjohn had escaped the plantation they worked on and Sarny was saddened. She knew he didn't have a very good chance of escaping, unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to help. 

At that point in the story, Sarny was married to a man named, "Martin". There wasn't any talk about escaping between them because she had two children named, "Dellie" and "Tyler". The owner of the plantation that they worked in was called, "Waller" and he worked Martin to death (literally). Not long after Martin died and Sarny was left alone with her two children. News about the Civil War had been known by the slaves in the plantation. They always found out a way to get the papers and read them. One day, a man came onto the plantation with a wagon. All of the slaves knew he was a buyer and would take some of the negroes for sale. Sarny was hiding with her two children in a corner of the dark room. However, the buyer saw her and asked, "Waller" how much they would cost.

After they negotiated a reasonable price Sarny's two children were taken away from her. Once those flashbacks are over the books takes place in the first person perspective of Sarny. The selling of her children had been 7 days ago and Sarny wasn't very happy. Waller had tied her up knowing she would escape if he didn't. Suddenly, loud noises started coming from the top of a nearby hill. It was the Union! They had come to free the black slaves from Waller since he was the owner of the plantation. Waller was already firing behind a box when a blue soldier went behind and shot him directly in the chest. Then the soldier freed Sarny telling her she was now free. Almost immediately, Sarny grabbed as much food and clothing as possible before leaving to find her children!

While on the journey Sarney meets up with one of her friends back at the plantation. She was a young girl named, "Lucy". At first, she was reluctant to let Lucy join but after a few minutes of begging, she agreed. The two set off on a journey to find Sarny's children. After a few days, the both of them stumbled across a carriage carrying a white woman. She gracefully got off the carriage and greeted Sarny and Lucy. They were both skeptical but replied in the same manner. The coachman (the man who was driving the carriage) jumped off as well and Sarny was surprised to see he was a black man. The white woman introduced herself as "Miss Laura" and asked if there names. Once everyone was done introducing themselves "Miss Laura," asked whether Lucy and Sarny would like to work for her.

Sarny and Lucy were immediately put into an outrage saying they weren't anyone's slave anymore. However, the coachman explained it wasn't meant to be slavery and actually a paying job. Sarny asked that if they agreed where would they be going. "Miss Laura," said they were to go to her home in "New Orleans". Sarny quickly said yes and told Miss Laura about her lost children and how they were supposed to be in New Orleans (a Union soldier told her that). The four people got into the carriage and headed off to New Orleans where Miss Laura lived. Okay, let me just spoil the rest of the story because we aren't going to get any further. Miss Laura says that because Sarny was such a great person she would give her fortune to her. That meant Sarny would have about $84,000 in a matter of seconds. The main reason behind this was because Miss Laura was going to die soon and she wanted to pass her money to someone she dearly respected. THE END.

Today was probably one of my favorite school days of the year! One really exciting thing happened today and some information was given by my teacher really got me happy! Let me start from the morning and from there talk about the highlights. When I woke up it was actually 5:52 A.M. However, the alarm wasn't ringing so I stayed in a comfortable place called my bed. At 6:00 A.M I turned off the alarm and put on my sweater. Afterward, I headed towards my dad's room and woke up my sister. The two of us went downstairs while my dad was calling someone on his phone. By 6:30 A.M I was basically ready for school, the only thing I didn't do was brush my teeth (same for my sister). Our father said to eat breakfast before brushing so we wouldn't get our teeth dirty right after cleaning them. I thought it was a great idea and immediately ate the food he made. 

That was pretty much my morning, once it was 7:10 A.M my dad took my sister to her bus stop and I continued inspecting my hair in the bathroom. I also grabbed some snack to eat at school. I don't want to waste the food after my aunt got so much! It's not even a joke, she got a whole box of 50 "OREO PACKETS!" and another bag filled with different types of chips. These "brands" include Doritos, Fritos, Lays, and "Chips Ahoy" (another type of cookie). Also, today I switched my hair from the left side to the right. At school, a bunch of my friends was saying it looked better than my old style and wanted me to keep it. The only problem with keeping this style is that it needs time to dry. You see, I usually take my showers at around 7:30 A.M so I don't have a lot of time. I guess I need to take my showers as soon as I come down. That's the only way this is going to work.

Now let me get on with the "highlights", the first highlight took place in Gym class. My class just finished playing the first round of this game called, "Treasure Hunt". It's not that fun, I'm gonna be honest. There are four teams and each team has a hula hoop, each hula hoop has about 5 bean bags inside of them. Once the round starts players on every team have to run to another team's hula hoop and take one bean bag. Then they come back and drop the bean bag. The goal is to have the most bean bags in your hula hoop by the end of the round. It was pretty funny and unpractical at the same time. The reason it was funny (for me) was because there was this one team that had a ton of bean bags. Almost half of the class ran to their hula hoop and took a bean bag. There was this one kid standing behind his hula hoop and was screaming, "Don't take my bean bags, STOOOPPPPP!". I was laughing the whole time while running back to my hoop.

When the round was over my team didn't win but the screaming kid's team didn't either. A bunch of kids were yelling at the team that won accusing them of cheating. To be honest I was doing the same thing but only for the sole purpose of having my voice heard. Suddenly, my Science teacher popped into the gym and asked for me. I got up and walked out the door when I saw my father. He was going to take me to the book fair! I really enjoyed it and got about 7 books! I was worried that it would cost too much since the prices of the ones I got weren't low at all. However, my father didn't make a fuss out of anything. Just paid for them and said I could put the books in my class. I thanked him before leaving and even said goodbye. Then I walked back to the Gym and continued playing until it was Lunch. 

Let me just quickly say my "bit" of information and favorite book. The information that my Math teacher thankfully told me was about how tomorrow there wasn't going to be any school. Apparently, it was going to be a thunderstorm with snow as well. Now its time to mention my favorite book that I got from the fair. It is called, "Five Nights At Freddy's: The Twisted Ones". I've watched a ton of videos about the game, "Fight Nights of Freddy's" and let me tell you it is a very SCARY GAME! They have jumpscares from everywhere and if you play the game at night I wish you good luck. The picture on the left shows you one of the jumps scares in the game. I hope you see how terrifying it is. I used to play this with my friend and we'd have a very fun time getting creeped out. The really creepy thing about the game is the lore or story behind it. The story is made up but still really scary, apparently, there was this pizza factory called, "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria". One day a man lured four children behind the store and murdered each of them painfully. According to the lore (story), the man put the souls of the children inside animatronic robots. This is where the game comes in. You play as a security guard who checks the hallways and makes sure everything is fine. In the game, these animatronic puppets slowly start moving and coming towards you. In the game there is a power gauge and once it's over the puppets jumpscare you. I've never once played the game without one of my friends by my side. Anyway, that's it for today's post. 

Unfortunately, today is Monday and I had to go to school. Let me start from the morning because I had to do something I haven't done in a while. Today is the day where my aunt starts going back to her full-time job. This is going to be happening for 2 weeks, my aunt told me she needed to leave the house at 6:30 A.M. Because of that I needed to drop my sister at her bus stop. Its been about 3 months since I've done this and I didn't really plan on starting today. However, it's not like I had a choice so at 8:10 A.M my sister and I left the house. We got to the stop at 8:13 A.M and I didn't see anyone there. At that point, I got a bit nervous that the bus came early. Thankfully, after waiting a few minutes the kids came one at a time. First Ronan (boy), then two kids (related, one boy and one girl) with there parents, finally two Arabic women and their children (they're friends).

Once the bus came, I dropped her and ran back to my house. Almost immediately, I took a shower and starting drying myself with a towel. I finished getting ready at 7:55 A.M and just waited until it was time to leave. Just something that I did while in the bathroom, I tried to comb my hair towards the right side but it either looked too short (height) or too high. That's why I just reverted back to my other side (normal). It only looks good after an hour or two worth of drying. Then I can style it and give it that extra "POW"! Anyway, at school, my teacher was telling everyone to get ready for their first two classes. A bunch of kids was just talking near the door because some were waiting for their friends to come. For breakfast, the school gave a carton of white milk and some cheerios. Even though I already finished eating back at home it was always good to have some more.

For the first period, it was supposed to be Social Studies but the teacher was absent. That's why my class had ELA instead. I guess the teacher didn't tell the principal that he was going to be absent so they didn't have a sub ready for his class. I basically had three periods of ELA instead of two. However, each period is separated by a lunch or dinner so its okay. My teacher announced that there was going to be a movie night this Wednesday. Apparently, it wasn't after school but in fact right after dinner. Kids from all over the 7th grade were able to switch which class they were in so they could watch one out of the four movies available. The teacher gave each of my classmates and I an index card and 4 choices. We were supposed to rank the four from first to last. Out of the four options I picked Willy Wonka since it was the "scariest".

After first period my class had Science and the teacher asked a few kids to hand out the textbooks. He showed each kid their final grade and I was really happy! You see, a week ago Mr. Long (Science teacher) told me that I had an 89 as my grade for term two. However, here I am with a 91 instead! Why I am I even complaining? Let's just say that out of all the periods Science was probably the best one. Yes, that's right. Not even Technology beat it. Ever since they banned Youtube, Nitrotype, and "CoolMathGames" I can't play anything at all. Anything besides "MathWhizz" and "Nitrotype". Want to know the thing that bugged me the most? My friend was constantly either picking the wrong answer for me or turning off my computer. I had to turn the whole thing back on! Thankfully, I turned his off to as payback so we're even.

Google News

Today's news story is going to be about Melania Trump! I'm just kidding! That was my idea before this new post came out! It's about "PUBG" (Player Unknowns Battlegrounds). It just released its game on the phone! It literally copied "Fortnite's" mobile game that came out a week ago! I just wonder how Epic Games are going to take their rival doing the exact same thing as them. Fortunately, I really doubt "Fortnite" will need to worry about anything. Once "Fortnite's" mobile version comes out for all players it will definitely outplay PUBG. If they are winning right now in most concurrent players online for mobile its because Fortnite 's version is still "Invite Only". That means you need to sign up to play. And I'm pretty sure the list is too full for that by now. That is today's post!

"Who was Ronald Reagon?", is the name of the book that I finished 5 minutes ago. It was relatively short so I was able to complete it in approximately 50 minutes. As you can probably guess I'm going to summarize this book for today's post. Ronald Reagon was born on Tampico, Illinois, on February 6, 1911. His father called him, "A fat little Dutchman!" and the name stuck. From here on out Ronald Reagon would be named "Dutch Reagon' for the rest of his childhood. The Reagon family moved a lot because Ronald's father would always lose his job due to alcohol. Neil Reagon was his brother and two of them would always be the two newest kids at school. However, Neil didn't have a problem with fitting in. It was just Ronald that got lonely for the most part. He would look out at the lake or find places to explore near his house.

Nelle Wilson Reagon was a kind-hearted woman and also the mother of Ronald. She was always so compassionate and never wasted a second trying to aid a family in need of help. Sometimes, she'd even hand prisoners food because of how poorly treated they were. Unfortunately, Nelle would never realize how poor her family was. For dinner, she'd feed the family liver and patties made out of oatmeal. The thing was, Ronald never knew just how poor his family was. He'd always thought that Nelle was just an atrocious cook! Soon enough Ronald Reagon was starting high-school! The teenager never knew how near-sighted he was until putting on his mother's glasses. With that being said, Nelle took her son to the eye doctor and together they got him a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.

Soon enough Ronald was becoming one of the most popular boys at his school! The kid ran track and played football as well, he even participated in plays as well as working on the yearbook, getting elected as president of the drama club, and etc. Later on in life, Ronald was handed a contract to be a part of Hollywood. His idea of a movie a football coach who's all-star player was dying. At first, the people at Hollywood were skeptical about Ronald's appearance and height. However, he proved them wrong by showing pictures of his high-school football team. They decided to only let him star into the movie if he changed his name, let them fix his hair, and take off the glasses. A couple of years later, Ronald was a star and almost everyone knew of him. The man married a woman named, "Jane Wyman". 

The two of them divorced later on with both of their two children going to Jane. Nancy Davis was Ronald's second and last relationship seemingly because she was still married to him all the way through the rest of his life. At that point, Ronald had already become Governer and wanted to be president. Although he was a democratic Ronald Reagon became a Republican. That didn't mean he would stop doing the best for his country. Ronald was the first actor to ever become president, on the day of his inauguration Ronald Reagon's friends from Hollywood joined him to witness the 40th president of the United States of America. One day, Ronald Reagon had finished making a speech at Washington D.C, as he was walking out of the building 4 shots rang out. The president was hit in the rib cage and his secretary killed. 

Thankfully, the Ronald greatly recovered and immediately went back into the problems of America. The Soviet Union and America were against each other. However, after the Soviet elected a new leader the two powerful men had a peaceful conversation. The first step toward peace was banning one nuclear weapon from ever being used. The Berlin wall was created by Gorbachev and was later taken down because of an immense and powerful speed from Ronald Reagon. It is amazing how a list of words can impact such a big change! The Reagans returned to their home and rested until the death of Ronald. He had Alzheimer's disease and would probably forget everything that he had done for the country. On the day of his death hundreds of thousands of people mourned for him. The man really was a great president!

I just completed reading, "Mr. Darcy's Diary" and the ending of the book wasn't as atrocious as I thought it was. I pretty much get what happened, the only thing that annoyed me was the number of words on a single page. Three hundred and thirty is okay with me, but when there are about 60 words on one page it really ticks me off. Thankfully, I won't have to deal with it anymore because I finished reading the book. Anyway, not its time for me to start talking about the day. When I woke up I knew my father wasn't going to be home because he had already taken his day off on Wednesday. With that being said I also knew my aunt was going to be in the basement. That way, I wouldn't have to drop my sister off at school. My aunt said that because she wasn't going to be home for a while she would get a lot of snacks and leave them in her room. That way whenever we wanted something to eat we could just go into the basement.

That was my morning for you! After my aunt told me I brushed my teeth and did the usual things before going to school (changing into my clothes for dress down, eating breakfast, and doing my hair). When I got to my bus stop it was 8:04 A.M and there were only two kids with me. At my bus stop, I don't talk to anyone there because none of them are my friends. Just a bunch of 6th graders who stick with their parents and one other 7th grade girl. However, she just stays on her phone the whole time waiting for the bus to come. Unfortunately, it came it 8: 16 A.M and by the time we got to school, it was 8:45 A.M. That meant I only had 10 minutes to eat my breakfast, get ready for the day and give my 2 dollars over to the teacher for dress down. Though I may have made it sound like a lot, I got through all of those things in 3 minutes. The rest of the time spent in Homeroom was to talk to my friends.

The first and second period was Dance and Technology. Before heading into Technology I want to talk about why I dressed down. Usually, I wouldn't do anything like that because it was a day where you could wear the gym uniform. However, during Dance, I am not the most flexible person and my clothes make me feel a bit uncomfortable at times. Now if I dressed down then I could wear my sweater and feel better. Anyway, sorry for getting a bit off topic. Lets head over to Technology! Immediately, I ran to my computer and typed in "NitroType". For those that don't remember, "Nitrotype" is a website where you go against 4 other people as race cars. The race car moves faster and faster as you type. Although, if you make a mistake your wpm (words per minute) goes down and so does the speed of your car.

 Since I've had 4 years of experience in typing (because of this blog) beating my friends and getting first place in every race was an easy accomplishment. The second highest was 44 wpm and I got 66! That just proves how much this typing has really increased my speed and accuracy. I wish I could say the same thing about my sister but at the rate, she's going she'll never be anywhere close to me! Dance class was actually pretty fun! My teacher made new spots for everyone in the room and my number was #1. I know that doesn't mean I'm the best dancer out of everyone in the room and that I happened to be picked first but sometimes you just have to pretend things are going well for you. That way when you get in trouble or get mad all you have to think about is how happy you were a few seconds ago!

After changing our spots my teacher created three lines from the numbers (1-9, 10-18, 19-27). Each line was supposed to separately walk in a circle and come back to their starting position. Since I was the number 1 I got to lead my line and boy was it weird. Being in the spotlight or "leading" something wasn't exactly my favorite hobby. So as I started walking around the room it felt pretty weird and it was actually pretty funny. A lot of kids felt a bit uncomfortable and laughed with me. Unfortunately, I still need to talk about the news so let me stop from here. This is just a short story about the "Overwatch" league so don't be too excited. One of the coaches who is part of the "La Gladiators" said he was sorry for apparently "shoulder bumping" into two competitors from a different team. He said he was sorry to the players and their coach as well. The thing is though, we say it in the media instead of a quick "sorry" to the players at the time when he shoulder bumped them? Its a bit weird so tell me what you think, goodbye.

Yesterday I didn't post because there was a "Movie Night" at my school. You see, my teacher handed each student in my class (including me) a permission slip that allows that person to attend the "Movie Night". It isn't really anything special, you just watch a movie with your classmates and then parents pick you up at 6:30 P.M. Technically, when I got downstairs it was 6:28 P.M and my father was already there so he came early. Then again, I saw 3 other kids walk out the school door and get in a car with their parents. Anyway, I am going to be talking about the "Movie Night", "Walk-Out" (Explain later), and some highlights for today (if there is enough time). So at 3:55 P.M everyone who got there permission slip signed stayed into the class while the rest of the kids went to their bus rooms. That is where they wait until the adult in that room tells them their bus has come.

Some of the kids in the room had brought snacks for the class, it was actually just two people. This one boy got two boxes of Caprison and handed them to everyone else. Since there were extras, I decided not to waste them and take an extra one. Afterward, my teacher told everyone they could talk until he finished setting up the movie. Most of the kids just talked to their friends about the drama at school. Since I never like to be "the center of attention", I was having a conversation with my friend about "Summoners War". Summoners War is this really cool game on the phone that I used to play a lot. However, once I got my PlayStation 4 the iPad and iPhone just seemed really irrelevant. The only electronic devices I use nowadays are my console (PlayStation Four) and computer in the playroom.

That was basically the whole "Movie Night", the movie was called, "Avatar". At first,  I got really confused because I thought it was the movie about the kid who becomes "the avatar" and becomes "The Last Airbender". As you can see from these two pictures there is a bit of a difference. It felt pretty weird when I saw a bunch of electronic machines into the future and then realize it was a completely different film. Either way, the movie was still pretty good (I like how I said the movie was "pretty good" when my class still hasn't finished it yet). Now it is time to walk about the "Walk Out".

Let me explain, yesterday the school had a community circle (where two separate grades stay in a room and get told about stuff that's happening or going to happen relating the school). Apparently, the dean of students decided she wanted the kids to have a "Walk Out". Basically, everyone who participates leaves the school at 10:00 A.M and walk outside to the courtyard ("courtyard" was for my school"). It was this thing where we stayed outside for 17 minutes to pay respect to the kids who died in the "Florida School Shooting". However, the dean of students for some reason decided it was a bad idea and told the administration it was going to be called off. But I guess my Social Studies teacher didn't know or didn't care, because at 10:00 A.M he opened the door and almost half of the kids went out with him. The only reason I refused to go was that the Dean was starting to pull students who were walking outside. She got about 10 kids but couldn't do anything else to the 80 kids out.

I think that it was a beautiful sight to behold but felt it was bad as well. I know for a fact that some kids only went because their friends were going out as well. It seemed pretty dumb, however, I do know that other kids actually wanted to pay their respects and walked out in a sign of respect. I can't get too deep into this or else I won't have any space for the news. I some great news for all those "Overwatch" fanatics (no one reads my post anyway)! Blizzard (company) has decided to nerf Sombra so that she can't hack people so fast. With that being said it mainly focuses on her "hacking" ability. From now on, Sombra can't hack as much. Before, she was able to immediately hack someone right after they do damage to her. Now, there is a two-second cooldown so players can still use their abilities. The second nerf is about how she hacks. Before she could actually hack someone through a wall, now she can't do that anymore. I think these changes will bring her closer to being balanced but not all the way.
