In the month of march I read the book series “The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown. In this story series we follow a robot by the name of Roz. She is a normal robot, but gets stuck in the forest hence the book name. Roz meets new people and ends up crushing a bird nest. What is left of the bird nest is one egg. Roz decides to teach the bird what to do and how to survive. It is honestly a great book. I enjoyed reading it and got really engaged in the story. I couldn’t stop reading it, because of how good it is. My favorite character has to be Roz she is caring, and kind. She tries her best to help everyone no matter what. In the story when one of the bear cubs fell and grabbed a tree Roz said “Do not worry.” this shows how she is caring because she helped them. My favorite quote from the story is “Your son will be fine.” This was said by Loudwing. This is important and my favorite due to it showing there are caring animals in the forest.

If I could invite three people, anyone to dinner I already know my choices. First off I’d invite Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7). I would pick him since he is my favorite soccer player. I personally think he is the best soccer player of all time, so it would be very interesting to not only meet him but also eat dinner with him. He is one of the if not the most popular soccer player of all time. He is the reason I like soccer, so meeting him would be amazing. I would also invite Lionel Messi. Even though there is a rivalry between Messi, and Ronaldo on who the best player is they seem to still get a long. Both of them are the absolute best soccer players in history, so it would be amazing to meet both of them. It would be interesting to see their strategies, their differences on opinions, and the way they play. The third person which is my final person would by my friend Matthew. Matthew also enjoys soccer. He believes Messi is the best player. I believe Ronaldo is, so it would be interesting for both of us to meet them. It would be a great dinner for us both since we both watch soccer because of them.

My dream job would be a pro soccer player preferable for Real Madrid. Real Madrid is my favorite soccer club, and has had many great players like Cristiano Ronaldo play for them. There are many positions in soccer, but I like being a center midfielder. CM for short. A CM is in the middle of a field. They have a balance between defense and offense. They mainly pass the ball to the attacking players. I like this position since I need good ball control and passing to be a CM. There are many reasons for me to want to be a pro soccer player. I find soccer an enjoyable sport so to make a living off. I’d have a chance to be a part of history. Although soccer may not seem like a lot, Ronaldo and Messi’s names will be remembered for a long time especially by people in their countries. A third reason would to have a chance at meeting people. Seventeen year old Lamine Yamal plays for one of the biggest soccer clubs, Fc Barcelona. Although Real Madrid and Barcelona are rivals I find what Lamine Yamal is doing impressive. Another lesser reason is the money. It may not be a lot of money at the beginning but there are many big chances to gain money. In all being a pro soccer player would be my dream job due to the fun of the sport.

I woke up randomly invisible freaked out I noticed a note next to me. It said “I have made you invisible for a day, Enjoy.” It didn’t say who did it so it felt a bit weird. Since I couldn’t go to school like this I decided to just tell my parents the situation. They understood and let me have the day off from school because I was “sick”. They also said if it wasn’t gone by tomorrow they would take me to be tested. I didn’t really know what to do since you never actually plan for the most random stuff like this to happen. So I decided to just relax a bit. Until it got boring so I decided to mess with people. I went to a park where a bunch of people were playing basketball. I saw a guy with fluffy hair had the ball and was in a shooting range but didn’t want to shoot. I got in front of him right when he decided to shoot from free throw and I hit it out of his hand before he could shoot. I did that for a while then went back home. On the walk home I almost died to a car since they couldn’t see anyone there so I called my dad to pick me up. I got home ate dinner and went to bed. When I woke up I was normal not invisible anymore. There was one more note and it said “Did you enjoy it?” This was very weird.

In this month of RAD reading I read the book “The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown. I read this book again so I can recap myself for the second one. I noticed a lot of cool things in the book after reading it again. The book is about a robot who gets stuck in a forest. The robot, Roz meets new animals and becomes friends with them. At first she had trouble because they thought she was a monster but she wasn’t. Roz studied the animals speaking so she could speak with them. While she is moving around the forest she ends up accidentally killing some geese. She realizes what she had done and watches over the bird’s egg. She takes care of the baby bird as her own. I really enjoyed this book since it has a very interesting and original plot. I haven’t read any books similar to this one which made it feel fresh and easy to enjoy. I really liked Roz she was a great character. Even as a robot she grew to have feelings. She was just kind in general which made her a great character. In the story after Brightbill the baby bird started to cry Roz picked him up and whispered “Are you okay?” This quote was interesting, because not only did it show she was growing feelings but also learning how to be more caring. That was a great quote, but not my favorite. On page 81 the beavers called Roz a monster. Roz said what she continued to say throughout the story “I am not a monster. I am a robot.” I found this quote very interesting since it can connect to life. Even if something seems scary it isn’t always what you think it is. Roz throughout the story had to tell people “I am not a monster.” She truly had struggle clarifying she meant no harm. Which made it my favorite quote throughout the story.

I am currently stuck on an Island. I was on a plane home when the engine randomly stopped. The plane started to fall down into the ocean. We didn’t have enough time to react so we were stuck in an ocean with nothing left to communicate with the outside world. After a few days of floating we found an island. That is how I got here. It has currently been 13 days since the last rain. Originally I was counting the days we were here by putting lines in the sand but the rain ruined it. We have lost almost everyone I am the only survivor left. Every day I wake up in the cave I call home put a line in the ground then get a drink of water from the rain catcher, but today was different. I was out of water. After that I use my pocket knife to cut some wood for night time. I then used the spear I made a few days ago with my knife to hunt for what ever I can catch. I usually might find a bunny or even a deer. After that if I have time I would make something, but today I didn’t. I ended the day by making a fire with the wood I cut up and cooking the rabbit.

In the month of January I continued reading the series “One Punch Man” by Yusuke Marata.
The story is about a man named Saitama who wanted to become a hero. He trained day and night non stop until he was so strong nothing could hurt him. He soon becomes bored of life since nothing feels scary, and exciting anymore. He goes on adventures as a hero trying to find someone who is stronger than him to actually have an exciting fight again. He meets many people and makes many friends.

I found the book series interesting due to it not being like any other series. The plot feels original and interesting. I really enjoy the books.

My favorite character would be Genos. He is a human cyborg and takes everything seriously. When Saitama who is bald was putting on a wig Genos immediately called the person who made him and said “Dr Kuso… This is urgent… you said you can implant synthetic hair.” Saitama wasn’t wearing the wig because he wanted hair, but because he was trying to create a disguise. This showed Genos takes everything too seriously and to an extent.

My favorite quote would be “This costume is cool… so I’ll lend it to you.” This quote may seem insignificant, but it shows how Saitama has grown. Saitama had joined a costume contest, and prepared his hero suit all week for the contest because the winner gets money. Right before the contest started he saw some kid on a bench crying. It turns out the kids costume was stolen. Saitama gave the kid his costume and ended up losing the contest. When Saitama first started being a hero he did it to fight monsters not to help people. He has changed in many ways this quote just shows that.

I am not a very creative person. We were told to write about anything, but I don’t know what to write about. So I decided to write about creativity. I am not very creative and I struggle with writing creatively. This one was no exception. I feel the need for perfection when it comes to art, but not everything is supposed to be perfect. Every time I try to do something creative I struggle. Some people seem to just immediately have great ideas in their head, but I don’t. That’s why the blogs are a massive struggle for me. I don’t know how to improve my creativity. It is always the free writes I struggle with the most, so I hope this counts.

“We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy” was the quote by Dumbledore I chose from the two options we had in class. This quote stood out for me, because it matches life the most for me. Yesterday I could’ve skipped basketball because most of my friends didn’t go, but I went so my team wouldn’t be too short of players. You always have an option to go the easy way or the right way. The easy way may seem like the best choice in the moment, but going the right way could change your future or even someone else’s. This quote really stood out to me more than the other one due to how useful of advice it could be in life.

If I picked one person in the world that would be my hero they would be my Step Dad. He takes my Brother, and I to school every day. He also buys our groceries, does the dishes, and takes out the trash. He does a lot for us, and is a great Parent. He always takes care of us, and works hard for us. Almost every time my brother is sick he takes care of him instead of working. He works hard to take care of us while my mom is at work. Although my other parents work just as hard I picked him, because he does the most that has something to do with me. He usually cooks for us every single day. In all I picked him, because he hangs out with me while still managing to be a great parent.
