In school this week I have been learning about Traditional literature. The parts of literature are : fables, myths, folk tales, fairy tails, legends and I think that is it.  I chose to write about myths. So, today  I visited a sight I don’t know what it is called so just incase you want some  links to read more literature click here.   So, I read a myth about Thor. The story was about his hammer being stolen. Evidence of a myth is Thor can only hold his hammer and he dressed up like a princess and none of this stuff happened. In another story I read about Perseus and Medusa. In this story Medusa ha snakes for hair and turns people to stone when she looks at them this is definitely not humanly possible. Greek gods are something I do not believe because Greek gods do stuff that is not possible. Another reason I believe this is a myth is because uasually kings do not ask for head that are stone.

Myth: A widely held but false belief or idea.

P.S That definition is not my words.

My words: a false story of a idea that someone had or has.

One day My brother and I woke up and had a big day planned. My brother started to travel as we were climbing some big hill. I ended up in a big bucket of crystals. “Its Glorious!” I exclaimed. “Its delicious!” Said my brother. “We shall bring them back to them to the queen.” I said. “After we cause some mischief!” I added.  My brother and I ended up in this big river that was piping hot. Then there was an earth quake and the glass started to tilt. I was frightened so, I jumped out and was in a place that was furry. It was in a cage and kids were starting to grab  this round animal . I quick and unexpectedly fell off after the animal rapidly ran around the cage. I somehow ended up in a square water fall and I was scared by the soapy hand that was under the water fall. I started to head out after the mischief was done then suddenly a big clear glass was  shut in front of my face! Then I said, “Lets go to the next big clear, glass thing.” Sure enough it was opened and I crawled right out of the clear, glass thing and I stuffed my my hands with crystals as my brother did the same .  We headed back out to the queen. She asked, “Where have you been?” “Causing mischief.” I answered. “Good children.” She said. “Now here are you crystals.”  ” Oh my dear goodness.” They lived happily after.

Compass learning is an educational sight. It has different categories That are made just for you to practice and learn. This sight is linked with testing called map testing.  The categories are math, LA extensions, reading, language arts, and science. The activities in  LA extensions are grammar and parts of speech. In reading it has books and after you read the book you take a test. In math there is geometry and word problems, fractions, money, and shapes. In science there are a couple of books and videos. I din’t remember what is in language arts. Compass learning made me improve on the test.

It was one sunny day when sweat dripped down my forehead as I ran across the soccer field. It was the first half when I usaully would have scored but not that day. I dribbled across the field and got an assist but not a goal. I got kind of sad. It was just not the right day. I wasn’t playing my favorite position either. In the second half I was put in goal. In the  goal  I felt like there was hay lightly touching my arms. I saw a scarecrow standing right  me saying “ don’t give up” constantly. I took the scarecrow’s words to heart and asked him his name he said Dale.  I quickly bolted up the field even though I was goalie I scored.  It was the next game  When I saw Dale again saying “ Don’t give up”.  I really think that  it worked once again. I bolted up the field and BAM! I scored and the cheers were so loud because it was the game winning goal. On the third day I was playing goal again when I was trying to save a goal way above my head as Dake lifted me up and I saved it. I rolled the ball to my team and I think it was the magic touch because my team scored a goal! My team and I made it to the championship. This was it. This meant that we could win it all. I didn’t see Dale but I tried hard and even scored . I thought to myself maybe I don’t need Dale.  But I really do because we lost. Ahhh! I screamed. That was a crazy dream. Until I peered out the window and saw the very scarecrow that was in my dream.

I’m reading a great book called Because of Winn-Dixie. The author is Kate Dicamillo. This book is about a girl named Opal and one day she goes to her local Winn-Dixie and a dog goes crashing in the store and gets in trouble by the manager. Opal lies that it is her dog because  Opal doesn’t want the dog to get in trouble. Then Opal  names the dog Winn-Dixie.  Opal brings  the dog home. Her dad, the preacher excepts the dog. Opal is  new in her current neighborhood  and has new friends. I hope to finish the book soon and  find out what happens with Opal and Winn-Dixie. A question I  have is  where is her mom? This is a great book and I can’t wait to finish it.
