Heres some fun puns for you to see! (Don't worry, I didn't get them from Carl Azuz)
I tried to tell a pun about rubber bands, but it was a stretch. Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is a fascinating fantasy novel to read, as it tells the tale of how everything may not be the way it seems. Wights, Hollowgasts, Ymbrynes, and many peculiar children await Jacob Portman as he embarks on a magical adventure. The Red Pyramid and Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children both have a fantasy world, with one having peculiar children that have magical powers in one, and children that have Egyptian mythology and spells in their control in the other. In Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, Jacob Portman travels to the island of Cairnholm, to find his grandfather’s lost friends. When he gets there however, he gets sucked into the fantasy of his grandfather’s childhood. If you really loved the Kane Chronicles from Rick Riordan, then you might want to give Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children a try.
Both stories tell different tales, but are slightly just like each other at the same time. Both stories have a curious, intriguing, male main character. The Red Pyramid, shows this, as Carter Kane doesn’t have any parents to help him. His mom was dead, and his dad disappeared in the tragic museum accident. Jacob Portman ends up at the Peculiar Mansion with curiosity for his grandfather’s death, as his Grandfather says one thing before he dies: “Find the bird. In the loop. On the other side of the old man's grave. September third, 1940” (Riggs 37). This bit of info gives Jacob the idea of curiosity. What does it mean? It means everything to Jacob, as he tries to solve his grandfather’s mysterious words. Every book has a magical world, but Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children has a really good one. Magical creatures actually live in the real world, pretending to be someone you could actually know. The book becomes even more magical, as it takes Jacob to 1940, where everything is different than what he had today. The Red Pyramid shows many magical and exciting creatures springing from Egyptian Mythology, as Carter and Sadie Kane see them all over the world, whether fighting with or against them. Plots are important to the story, because it’s how they’re made up. Without one, the story is pointless. The Red Pyramid had an interesting plot, by mixing Egyptian mythology with modern times. Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children has an interesting plot, as it brings things that you would never have thought have existed into real life, based on photos that the author had. Take Hugh Apiston. He has the ability to control bees from his stomach, where they live. The book creates characters that you never would have imagined in a story, creating an interesting plot. The Red Pyramid also touches on characters you never thought would be alive, such as The Bloodstained Blade, the blood-stained ax demon who works for the Kanes. Overall, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children tells an intriguing plot to hook you in. If you enjoyed The Red Pyramid as an interesting story, then Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is a great option for you. It has the same magical thought-provoking setting as The Red Pyramid, while having a darker tone. It has the adventurous young male character, as Jacob Portman and Carter Kane star as the main characters, searching for answers from unanswered deaths. And finally, it has the plot of a dark and mysterious past. The Kane Chronicles were good, but Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children brings a story with similar topics of magic and characters, but an entirely different story at the same time. Many banned books have appeared, but one of the most notably famous would have to be the Harry Potter series. The first book, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone have sold more than 107 million copies of the book worldwide since release in 1997. If it’s been sold that much, then why was it banned? Many schools actually banned this book as it qualified as “witchcraft”. In the book, Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts, a school for magical witches and wizards. As it was banned from many schools and libraries, I don’t agree with their decision. Sure it could be banned for religious purposes, but it’s one of the greatest fantasy novels in the world. And that's what the author J. K. Rowling meant for the series to be all about. It wasn’t meant to show that witchcraft is good and that we try it, but that’s it’s not real. It’s supposed to be cool. It’s not like people are going to be bad from reading the book, as it contains not very many dark material. The original movie was actually rated PG. It’s not supposed to be about witchcraft or dark sorcery That's why schools shouldn't be banning Harry Potter, but encouraging children, teens, and adults alike to read.

Samuel Moody Honors Language Arts 8 R3 9 December 2016 Growing up, she had to make dinner, while her mom put dinner on the table. It was a very vigorous time for her, as she grew up without what every child needs. A caring sympathetic mother and father together. Sally Shadwick grew up in Carmel her whole life. She grew up with her mother most of the time, who worked multiple jobs while being a single mother. It was sometimes rough. When asked about it, she said: “My mom would work 1-2 jobs at a time as a social worker, and a director of membership for the skyline club downtown. I didn't see her a lot, but I got to have cereal with her. She provided a lot for my family”. However, you think that might change a person with divorced parents. It might even ruin them. But she found a way of avoiding it. One of her most memorable events was with her sister, who didn’t like her. According to her, her sister got creek water, came home with it, and poured it into a glass for Sally. When she came to see what it was, her sister said it was Hi-C. And of course, she drank it. That was one of her best highlights. When it came to fun things to do, there were no smartphones and tablets to occupy her, she would do what other normal 80’s kids would do. She rode bikes outside to Mohawk Trails, her elementary school. read, and, played on her Garfield phone. Times weren’t always fun though. Chores and classes got in the way. Some normal chores that Sally did was mowing the lawn during the summer, doing laundry, making dinner, and pulling weeds. But for school, She was the opposite of bad. She would stay up doing homework all night. She said that: “I would always stay up to maybe 2:00 am studying for a big test”. Classes were a huge part of getting through with growing up. She actually said that she studied hard to help her mom, as her mom worked hard for her, so she wanted to repay her. She actually did also get to see her dad a little bit, but remained mostly with her Mom. When with her dad, she didn’t have to do as much chores, as her dad was remarried, so she had a stepmom to help out. *** Eventually, she grew up. She went to Clay Junior High, then Carmel High School. She went to Indiana University in 1996-1999 to get a Masters in English and German. She also went to Georgia University for a little bit to study Cardiac Rehabilitation, and Clinical Exercise Physiology. and that’s also where she met her future husband. She soon became a lawyer. She also went to Robert H. McKinney School of Law for a while in 2008. She’s now a mother of four, working as a lawyer. She still lives in Carmel, owns a nice house, and is married. Of course, it still is kind of hard with 4 kids to manage, but she’s strong, and so she's had a pretty great life. *** Maybe working hard and studying did pay off after all.
