Awful Tornado in Alabama Leaves Heartbreak- My Thoughts
Leaving 15 people dead, the tornado of Tuscaloosa was very devastating! The article I read stated that a man named Blume had been pulled out of the rumble by a drug dealer. Yet another persons story I found interesting was a lady named Lenora Bolden who saw the "tornado from her front porch while cuddled up with her husband and daughter."
My heart really goes out to the families of the loved ones who died in this terrible natural disaster. I am also sad for the peoples houses who were destroyed by the tornado.

Japans Nuclear Issue
I think the nuclear issue in Japan is really sad because it caused a lot of citizens in Japan to loose their jobs. Fortunately the prime minister warned the power plant of the danger before anyone got hurt.
This article informed me that NISA "spent about 30 minutes in the building measuring radiation levels."That fact really surprised me and showed me how serious this issue must have been. I hope the people of Japan resolve their problems soon and no one gets hurt in the process.

Peter Pan
1. The conflict in this story occured when Tink began to die because children didn't beilieve in fairies.
2. My favorite charachter in this book is Peter because he is funny. A quote from the story that shows this is, "What do you mean Wendy, what is a mom?" Peter is static,, protagonist, and major.
3.An intresting authors secret I noticed in this book was that she mixes up her sentence. For example she doesn't just use simple sentences,she uses compound and complex to.
4. A new word I learned in this weeks reading is scurvy. Scurvy means to have poor poisture. One way this word could be used is : In a Orchestra convert nevery have scurvy posture. Scurvy is an ajective.
5.This is a book I would use for a book comercial because it is just right and funny.

Twitter turns 5, goes from 0 to 140 million tweets a day
Happy birthday twitter! This article has informed me of so many interesting facts about this quick growing communication site not to mention ideas. Five years ago cofounder Jack Dorsey posted the very first twitter tweet. This new experiment was called microblogging and asked that you have no more than 140 characters. Believe it or not Twitter has over 200 million users which began to grow in 2007. Twitter has an average of around 140 million tweets a day or 1,600 each second including numerous celebrities who are members as well.
Thanks to glitches in the Twitter site during the expansion project twitter has a new mascot, the fail whale. Even though it isn't the most pleasant time when viewers see this now famous creature of the sea it is sure to put a smile on their face at the least.
I am so happy for Twitter who is clearly doing well in not only their expansion project but daily tweeting as well!
Keep up the good work,
Your observer, Halle-Kate

A crooked kind of perfect By: Linda Urban
1. The conflict in this realistic fiction book starts with Zoe having big musical dreams but ends with her ending up with a "not-so-perfectone D-60." One of the many bad things about this rip off of an instrument is that it isn't a glossy baby grand piano instead it is a wood-grained wheeze bag organ.
2. My favorite character in this book just happens to be the main character as well, Zoe Elias who was a protagonist and static and major.Zoe in my eyes was determined because even when her teacher told her she wasn't good enough she didn't let it knock her down.Zoe pushed on with her musical dreams and places in a Perform-O-Rama organ competion. A quote from this book that proves her determination which is actually commonly said ," when life gives you a Perfectone D-60 you make music!"
3. An interesting authors secret in this book was that she was funny! This is the quickest read I believe I have ever gone through simply because I couldn't bare to put it down!
4. A new word I learned in this weeks reading was resplendent which is an adjective meaning shining brightly.
5. This book is a book I would have the best time doing a book commercial on because I love sharing a good read with friends and this definitely was one!
