Don't Eat Me I'm A Lemon

Part 2

After three years of not doing anything at all, Mr. Eraser decided to not do not anything and start to not do not not nothing.

“You know what, I think think there should be three main characters in this, most adventures have three main characters.” said Mr. Eraser.

“Yep, and then you interrupt me after the word after the second after so-”

“Crick.”

“Yep, and then I forget everything in Don’t Eat Me I’m A Lemon after I hear a certain word three times.” meowed Mr. Kitty.

“And when do you hear a certain word the third time?”

“In 17.”

“Oh, that makes sense. By the way, who’s the bad guy? There’s always a bad guy in a story.”

“If you read Don’t Eat Me I’m A Lemon and look really carefully, you might know, but otherwise, this entire time you won’t even know who the bad guy is.”

For those of you reading this, the bad guy is _ _ _ _ _.

“Aren't we supposed to be doing things though?” asked Mmr. Eraser

“After the commercial break.”

(ADVERTISEMENT 1/2) Have yyou ever wanted to have a door AND a doorknnob at the same time? Well now you caan with the all new faucet powered antimmatter ray! You can get it at an incredibly low pricee of only a compact 67 megaparsecs full of 17 trillion eraser biills.

(ADVERTISEMENT 2/2) Have you ever totally hated advertisementss in the middle of somethingg. Well now you can with the all new-... (whispers) Wrong scrript dude! Oh sorry, wait is this the one? Yeah, hurry up they might be heearing us!... Well good news! Now you don’t have to hear anymore stup-.

“And now wee start doing thinngs.” meowed Mr. Kitty.

They then exited the cup of beans using the magic chair leg and entered the outside world. In 1767 the pixels were a whole lot smaller than before so the graphics were much better. This sentence is just here to remind you Mr. Kitty has a pickle hat. The sky was definitely had like 10% better color than before and the trash cans were all exact duplicates of the popular ‘hey look at that trash can’ trash can. But by now you are probably thinking, “Hey, I thought this story was going to be like super exhilarating and stuff,” but don’t worry. The odd number of parts (1, 3, 5, etc.) are going to be the ones where all the super awesome stuff happens. The even ones are just like the bridges in between, and the ones with the advertisements. Then a little kitten came by.

“I’m going to be the third main character okay? Yeah okay,” meowed the kitten.

“Sure, but how did you even know we needed a third character in this,” asked Mr. Eraser.

“I read don’t eat me I’m a lemon, obviously.”

“Did like everyone in Canada read that  except me.?”

“Yep, Everyone in Canada read it, except you.”

“Who are me? Wait sorry I meant who are you?”

“You can call me Sharpstripe.”
“Like Sandstorm’s kitten?”

“Yep, but this is where things really start getting confusing.”

“How?”

“I said a certain word.”

Robin Hood

    Robin hood was a very talented man, he had a perfect shot with his bow and arrow. With the help of his Marry men, He could achieve many great things. Such as he would steal from the rich and give to the poor. Many people may think he is just a rotten thief, but I think Robin Hood is good. Because the king would steal from the poor and robin would just get it back.

    Many people can argue whether Robin Hood is good or bad, because in some eyes the king is doing no harm and robin is just stealing from them. In Robin Hood, from Scholastic News, It talks about how the king went to get taxes from the poor but one lady couldn’t pay so he took one of her very valuable belongings. But Marian explained that it wasn’t fair, because she was born into a poor family, unlike her and the King who were born into royalty. I agree with Marian, It’s not fair, why is he the king instead of someone else who would be worthy and could be true to his kingdom.

Food Contest

There are many foreign delicacies enjoyed widely in America. Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian food are just some of the types of food that normal Americans favor over a hamburger and fries. Even though the food has come from different places, the fast food cycle and style populating America has also changed foreign food. Swarns says "Immigrants have changed America, but America has also changed them." This is true.

Have you ever gone to Panda Express? It is a Chinese food restaurant chain that is extremely popular all around the globe. But is it exactly Chinese? Authentic Chinese food is very different than Panda Express. America has changed the standards, portion sizes, recipes, and serving style of all types of foreign foods. It is hard to find a foreign restaurant that serves fresh, authentic food nowadays in America. More foods are fried, spiced differently, cooked differently, and stored differently than authentic food, where the old style is introduced. Foreign food has changed, thanks to America.

Most people in today's life have one thing in common, they are afraid to fail. Even when it comes to some of the littlest things in life that won’t help you at all. When someone fails at something it will probably help them later on in life in things. Really, people today shouldn't be afraid to fail, even if you do, it’s better to embrace it rather than feel bad about it.

Some of the famous people we all know today, actually failed a lot in their lives. According to the Info-graphic on Scope Magazine, “347 number of times investors rejected Tim Westergren, creator of Pandora. Five number of elections Abraham Lincoln lost before becoming president.” There are tons of people who fail all the time, including Michael Jordan known as the best basketball player to ever live. Really, don’t feel bad if you fail, some of your heroes do it all the time, and do you think that stops them? No. So why should you?

Robin Hood Contest

     Is Robin Hood, the famous fictional who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, a crook or villain? This question has been debated countless time by those who read of his tales. Robin Hood and his merry men stole from the rich and gave to the poor because the greedy king that ruled over the land taxed every man the same amount. While the rich could easily pay the taxes, the poor could not. These taxes were unjust and changed the lifestyle of those who were not wealthy. Only in a scenario like this would Robin Hood be considered a hero for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. However, In our modern society, where every citizen is taxed accordingly to their own wealthy, a character such as Robin Hood would be considered a villain. The poor people that accept stolen money become reliant and don’t learn how to properly handle money, making them no better than the wealthy.

Immigrants Kyler Gibb P.2

Immigrants have changed America because throughout the past couple of decades, Mexican immigrants have moved into southern California and bringing with them some of their favorite recipes and treats. The most popular food brought with them was tacos. Tacos have been an all time American favorite and it all started with Immigrants.  

Most American food that we eat comes from a native or foreign country. Pizza comes from Italy, the hamburger was born in Germany and brought over here, and of course the taco which was brought from Mexico. Immigrants now are starting to eat foods that they wouldn't eat in their home country and are bringing more and more foods to the United States.  Immigrants have changed our country and we have changed them because of these reasons.

February Writing Post - Brinley Sullivan

I’m pretty sure everyone knows the legend of Robin Hood. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. But has anyone considered if he is a hero or a thief? Robin Hood is both because he steals from the rich and keeps some for himself, but he gives plenty of his earnings to those in need.

Robin is a crook because he steals from the rich and keeps a little bit for himself. In the play “The Legend of Robin Hood” it says that he likes to keep some of the loot for himself and his Merry Men. He steals from the rich which makes him a villain, but he is also a hero.

Robin Hood is also a hero because he gives to the poor and needy villagers. In the play all of the villagers love when he comes bearing gifts that when he wants to compete in an archery contest they all beg him not to go. Robin cares for the well being of others which is what a real hero does. That is why Robin Hood is a hero and a crook.

Robin Hood-Hero Or Vilan?

Is Robin Hood a hero or a villain? According to Scholastic It states that Robin Hood stole money from the wealthy and gave it to the poor, which the wealthy wouldn't help the poor because they wanted to keep it to them selves. Robin was always trying to help others in need. While the rich would never help the ones that needed the extra boost, on the other hand Robin would always steal/take from the wealthy which wasn't right because they earned the money and he would just take from them. Others stated him as a ruthless man.

Robin Hood- February Post

For hundreds of years, the tale of robin hood has been told. Some claim that he was villain and a thief. Others say that he was a hero who saved Nottingham. Well, which is he? The less unfortunate and poor said that he was a hero. He would stop people in the Sherwood Forest and steal their money from them. Then he would give that money to the poor to help them buy food, clothing or whatever else they needed. He would risk his life to get money that was taken from the poor. The prince demanded high taxes from the poor to help pay for his ball’s, food and other luxuries. He took from people who had barely any.

However, the nobles, barons, and baronesses thought Robin was an evil villain thief.  There were many rewards and prizes for him. These people thought he was a thief because he only took back what was rightfully the poor citizens. The sheriff of Nottingham was Robin’s worst enemy. He tried and tried to get Robin Hood. The rich people wanted Robin because they benefited from the poor’s taxes. The nobles got to have feasts when the poor barely got a morsel of food into their mouths. To the poor, he was considered a hero and to the rich he was considered a villain.

Robin Hood - Hero or Villan?

Is Robin Hood a hero or a villan? He is a hero. He took stuff from the selfish, rich people, and gave it to the poor people who didn't have any money. The rich people didn't care about the poor people. They wouldn't help them out. This is where Robin Hood comes in.Robin Hood stole from the wealthy. He could of done something else that could have solved more problems but what he did was still good. The wealthy people were the bad guys and the poor people were the good guys. This is why Robin Hood is a hero.

Robin Hood, Skylar.

Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood. The thief who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Who doesn't like that story? But, is Robin Hood a good guy, or a bad thief? He was a thief that stole things from the rich, but he gave what he stole to the people who needed it most. Even though he did steal, he also helped the less fortunate. Robin Hood was the good guy of this famous story.

In the story of Robin Hood, the king made everyone pay heavy taxes, even if they couldn't afford it. He just came in and took their possessions and belongings, and then laughed. Robin Hood thought that these actions were unjust and unfair, so he stole from the rich to bring back justice. Yes, stealing is wrong, but he was helping people who couldn't help themselves, and if the Sheriff wants to throw him in jail for helping people, he’s just cruel. Robin Hood is a very good person.

Robin Hood Contest

Robin Hood was called both a hero and a criminal. To the rich he was a villain but to the poor he was a hero. He was a villain to the rich because he kidnapped, robbed, and stole. However he gave that back to the poor. I think that he was a hero though because he was a noble and he could have just sat in his castle and gathered taxes but instead he went out and helped people. Although he was a criminal and kept some of the money that he stole he still helped others. That is why Robin Hood is a hero.

Another Life Form

Should or should we not explore space? Many people are saying that scientists should stop exploring space and do different things with the money. Exploring space costs lots of money and the robots that they send into space break easy. Even if scientists do find something it could potentially kill humanity. People do not know what is out there and people should not try to figure out what is out there.

Scientists need to do something else with the money that they are spending on the space explorations. Scientists could spend the money of different things for instance they could spend the money  on making the world a better place. Another things is that they could spend the money on militia. Scientist need to stop working and looking for things in space and start working on other things.

The robots that the scientist send in are very easy to break. The robots go very vast and if they hit a meteor or some other thing in space the robot will get obliterated. Trying to send people into rocket ships is not a safe idea. The reason that is so is because if the ship were to hit a meteor going very very very fast. The scientists would be responsible for five dead astronauts.

Even if we were to find another life form that life form would most likely kill humanity. The life form would get mad and it would kill the human race. Scientist need to be told that exploring space can kill us all. The scientists need to use the money for something else. Then people will not be in danger anymore. Scientists need to be more observant in what they do because they could cause the death of humans.

Scientists should stop exploring space. It is too dangerous to  continue what they have started. People will continue getting hurt if we as humans do not do something to stop it. Many more wives are going to become widows and many more fathers are going to become widowers. If we do not stop then it will keep getting worse it needs to stop. People will not be happy if scientist keep doing what they are doing.

Robin Hood: Hero or Criminal?

Robin Hood is a legendary story that most people have heard, but the question is, is he a hero or villain? Robin Hood, along with his merry men, live as outlaws in Sherwood Forest. They fight the rich to protect the poor. So is he a thief or hero? Because of his actions, he is both.

Hood and his men steal from the rich, keeping some of it for themselves, and giving some to the poor who are in great need. Because he keeps some of it for himself, he is a thief. Because he gives to the poor, he is also a great help. This is why he is both hero and villain.

Some call him a hero some call him a criminal. Why? To the rich he is a criminal. To the poor he is a hero. He is both, he steels from the rich and then gives it to the poor. You could call him a hero, you can also call him a criminal. It completely depends on your opinion. But he does steel so that is a crime, but he does it  for a good cause what he steels he gives to the needy. So he basically does the dirty work for free. But whether he is a criminal or a hero is up to you.

Robin Hood (february post)

Robin Hood

Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, that sounds familiar right? Well, Robin Hood was the character who is known for this. Was he a villain or a hero though? Back in the 1192’s many people were robbers. Robin Hood was remembered especially because he gave what he stole to the poor. Robin Hood was a hero because he helped the poor people out, while taking items the rich could easily live without.

Giving to the poor was a noble thing to do. Robin Hood could have kept it all for himself, but he decided to share it. In the article “The Legend of Robin Hood” is explains that “But laws must be followed or there will be no more justice.” Robin Hood said “Justice? Tell that to the widow whose son was hanged for stealing flour for his starving family.” See, if the sheriff did not seal from the poor (like taxes) in the first place, the poor wouldn't have to steal back. Robin Hood was a hero to many and should be thanked.

File 213

Written by Frederick Smith

Concerning: A kidnapped professor, a stolen formula, and a very mischievous magic carpet.

Location: Oddtown, New York

Chapter One: The kidnapped professor and what we know about him.

Nothing. That basically sums up the this whole file. Even after three months working on this case, I  still don’t really know what’s going on. But what I do know is enough to prove that things are happening that shouldn’t be happening and that we don’t have enough power to stop it.

I probably should introduce myself.  My name is (again removed for my safety), I am eighteen, and I have recently graduated from Spy Academy. Afterward, I was assigned to be an agent for the TSIO (Top Secret Investigation Organization). This is my first case… and, most likely, my last.

Sitting in a taxi traveling to Oddtown, New York with a small leather briefcase at my side, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had been given this particular case because it wasn’t big enough for the officials to handle and it gave me the chance to prove myself. The facts were simple: On March the 23 at exactly 9:17 pm, Professor Norman was in his three story mansion when he disappeared along with an extremely valuable formula. According to the maid that witnessed the kidnapping, there was also a rug that had suddenly levitated five feet off the ground and had flown out the window. I was required to investigate that as well just in case it had something to do with it. Turns out, it had everything to do with it.

The taxi stopped in front of the Fansy Hotel. (To this day, I still don’t know if it “Fansy” was spelled wrong on purpose or if the designer was just a complete doofus) I picked up my briefcase, opened the door, and faced the building that I would be staying in for the next three months.

The building looked like something had been taken apart and put back together again. Or maybe it was hit by a tornado and two buildings had been smashed together, making one large crooked one. It was so ugly, so terribly made that I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Instead, I tilted my hat so I could only see the door and walked inside.

“Never judge a book by its cover” is a very truthful quote. Just because something may look bad doesn’t mean it’s bad in the inside. I once met a man who had tattoos all over his body and looked half bulldog who turned out to be a very nice man. I assumed (or, more accurately, prayed) that it would be the same case with this hotel I was seeing. I was wrong. The inside was a dump. Trash cans were overflowing, there were weird stains, wall paper was peeling, carpet pried up at the edges. It also smelled terrible, like a gas station bathroom with the toilet clogged. It looked almost abandoned except for man sitting behind the counter wearing levis, no shoes and no shirt. He looked up when I walked in.

“Sneego dog dog (my name goes here but again I have removed it) boogie?” he said in a language I promise does not exist. Slowly, I nodded. He handed me a room key and said, “Droxo room 1 lee pagga duggo.” he said, pointing down the ugly looking hall. I smiled, nodded again, and shuffled down the hall, wondering if it was too late to drop out.

It was then that I saw the first strange thing that happened during my stay. I had entered my room (which I do not want to describe) when I glanced out the window. Across the street was a man wearing a black suit, black tie, and black sunglasses staring directly at me. I stepped forward to take a closer look when a semi truck got between us. But when it had left, the man was gone.

Immigrants

    Did you know that mostly everyone's ancestors once were immigrants and traveled to America from another country. The people that came from other countries are known as “Immigrants”. Immigrants have changed the food in America, but America has also changed them.

    Through out the years Immigrants have changed America in many ways. One way is the food, America used to never have pasta, tacos, pizza, and many more. According to the article “Holding on to Heritage Before It Slips Away” immigrants have carried pasta, tamales, noodle soup, strudels, and jerk chickens”. Most people don’t realize that most of the food that we eat today was made somewhere else in the world. Though Immigrants have changed America, America has also changed them.

    America has changed the immigrants that have changed America. One of the ways that America has changed immigrants is that the immigrants are now eating foods that they wouldn’t eaten in their country. They immigrants are eating different foods, just like the Americans. According to the article “Holding on to Heritage Before It Slips Away” impoverished Italian immigrants, who rarely ate meat in Italy, added meat to their menus in the U.S.”. Also according to the other article “How The Taco Conquered America” like the taco the hamburger got a makeover that turned a traditional immigrant food into an American classic”. So in both articles it immigrants changed America by bringing food from other countries. And America changed the immigrants by changing their food, and adding on to their food menus.

Space Travel

Space Contest

    We should continue exploring space. There could be some other mineral or plant that could be a miracle cure, other intelligent life forms could give us knowledge, and colonizing other planets could solve overpopulation.

    If we travel to space, there could be a plant that is a cure for cancer on some planet. There could be super metal that could enhance buildings.Why should we pass up this opportunity by staying here? The probability of finding some different thing that can help us is very high in space. Different conditions could lead to different plants.

    The universe is endless. The probability of there being another life form in the universe in nearly endless. Not only that, but it may be smarter than us! By not exploring the universe, we could be passing up an opportunity to end sickness and war.

    The world’s population right now is about sixteen point four billion people. Soon, there could be too many people and not enough food. If we don’t slow down we could face extinction. That is why we need to find someplace else to live. We could starve to death in the next three hundred years.

    In conclusion,  we need to continue space travel. There are any benefits to doing it, like finding a super cure, other intelligent life, and colonizing other planets.

Has your mom or dad ever told you to find good friends? There are many different kinds of friends you can have and no matter how much you deny it, friends do influence you. If you want a good friend, here are some things to look for. A good friend will always bring you up. They never bring you down and they help you  no matter what your situation is. Good friends will also help. A healthy friendship has to have trust and teamwork so they means that you have to treat your friend how you want to be treated. Sometimes you can run into some bad friends. You don't want to be around those people because they will make you do things that you won't normally do. Choose your friends wisely and you wont have to deal with finding new ones.

Are Mistakes Key to making a Discovery?

By Matthew Van Gils

Are Mistakes Key To Making a Discovery?

Some people think that you must have errors and mistakes in order to make discoveries. Well, I think that is so ridiculous! Well anyways, that is so ridiculous I can’t even tell you how lame that sounds. I guess you could say that I do not think that mistakes are key to making discoveries. I have some pretty good reasons that will back me up.

For instance, when Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb, what mistakes did he make? People like Carter, or other famous explorers don’t make mistakes that lead them to make huge discoveries. I guess every once in a while someone might make a discovery due to their mistakes. But people definitely don’t need mistakes to discover something.

Even though, people make such amazing discoveries, people still think you have to have mistakes in order to make discoveries. Well, did Romulus and Remus make mistakes? Not necessarily, how many mistakes did they make? They discovered Rome!

For instance, think about all those famous explores you learn about. I guess yeah some of them might have made mistakes that help lead to their discoveries, but not all of those explores made mistakes that were key to discoveries. Marco Polo, that guy didn't make any mistakes and he discovered Asia! I think you are starting to get my point.

Although, some opposers might suggest that mistakes are key to making discoveries. They might say that all because Christopher Columbus founded the Americas because of his mistake, but I really do disagree with that point. Sure, Columbus probably only founded the Americas because of mistakes but that definitely does not mean that everyone who makes discoveries must make a mistake. That idea is totally ridiculous.

In conclusion, I really do believe that discoveries do not require mistakes. People can make amazing discoveries without any flaws. So if people think that discoveries need mistakes they should probably rethink that opinion.

When people think of failure, many think of bad things. Not 

winning, last place, losing. The truth is under all of that is good. Students or anyone should not be afraid to fail. We all have heard the saying, “You learn from your mistakes.” By that, you can see what you have done wrong in the past and fix it in the future. Every person in this world has failed at least once. In the Scholastic Scope Magazine it tells you many people who have failed more than once who were successful. We all know the famous Katy Perry. She had three record labels that failed before succeeding. The most common failure was Abraham Lincoln. He lost five elections before becoming president. Did he ever look down after that? No, of course not! He did not give up. Now Lincoln is one of the most important people ever. Most students get upset because of failure. Like not making the basketball team, or not getting in the school they wanted, and much more. However, the key thing is to never give up. Try, try, and try again. Just pick yourself up and start over. One other famous fails was by J.K Rowling. She had twelve publishers who rejected the first Harry Potter book. Look where she is now! You, see? Why give up, when success is right in front of you?
