Trees

 I think trees are really cool. Not only do they give us oxygen, shade, and are really tall, but they also give homes to Squirrels, birds, and worst of all bee hives. I find it fascinating how they start as a little seed then grow into huge redwoods. I don’t like how when it rains it drops down from the trees. I like the smell of some trees. I’m not sure if this counts as a tree, but I got my hair pulled by a cherry blossom before.

Ants

        I hate ants because all they do is crawl around on counters then crawl on me.  I think it is cool how they can carry something 50 times its weight.  Ants are so small, but some of them are evil. There are some types of ants that crawl up your pants and bite you…I think those are fire ants. I want to shrink down to ant size then go into their mound of dirt and see if they have mini bean-bag chair, massage chair, a hot tub. I just want to know how an ant lives.

In the Garden

I was so small even the ants were looking down at me. I was in the garden trying to move without a sound. I could not see anything beyond the tulips or past the weeds. The ants were cornering me against the door swinging their weapons everywhere. The leader has asparagus and his crew armed with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and artichokes. I could hear them whispering among themselves.

Bob said “I vote we take her to the queen!”

Jo said “Lets use the lettuce cannons! I’ve always wanted to fire one”

“NO… We can’t use the cannons until they attack us!” responded Bob.  

“Why don’t we just follow the orders from the king and make her eat all of her vegetables/ without feeding any /to the dog / under the table.” I was walking backwards when I fell among the cabbages. Then when the broccoli was almost in my mouth, I got up in a rush and ran along the fence. That is when I realized it was all just a figment of my imagination… my mom was just telling me to eat my greens.

Morning Girl Response

I thought this book was good. Morning wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I think it is a smart choice from the author how Star Boy and Morning Girl  have names that relate to their personalities and gender. I think that Star boy was more interesting than Morning Girl in the book. I liked how the chapters would switch from Morning Girl to Star Boy. I would have liked if half the book was Morning Girl and the other half Star Boy. I like the chapter about the storm and the tree. I would have liked to know more about the sister that died like why she did not live. I think that the way Morning Girl describes Columbus and his men. I like the end when they have the part of the Columbus journal.

The Letter From Spain

Dear Fernando,

    I was in the middle of my sermon, when I said it. I told all the Spaniards in the church that they are in danger of going to hell! The Spaniards need to open their hearts and realize the Indians are people.

    I asked them "do you have the right to kill the Indians?", "why do you make then slaves?", and "why do you attack and torture the Indians?". There was no response just surprised faces. I could hear their comments when I left the church.

"He should be hung!"

"Who does he think he is?"

"Send him back to Spain, send them ALL back!"  

People thought my sermon was a scandal and an insult to our way of life. They demand I take back what I said and if I don't they will take action against me. I think God would want me to take things into my hands and run with the Indians
