Remembering 9/11 | Never Forget

Today is September 11 so I decided to write about a book called I Survived, The Attacks of September 11, 2001.


The story begins with a boy named Lucas who loves football more than anything else. But one day he sustained a concussion and is rushed to the hospital. Back at home, Lucas's parents decided that he should quit football because it was dangerous. Lucas pleaded to his parents to put him back to play football but his parents don't want him to.

Lucas decided that he was going to talk to his uncle also known as his coach in football. So instead of going to school, Lucas took the train to the city and went to the fire station where his uncle works. But when he gets there and he was able to talk to his uncle, he learned that it was his uncle who told his parents to quit football. Lucas got angry but then suddenly they saw a plane flying so low and it was headed for the twin towers.

The plane they saw hit one of the twin towers. Everyone in the vicinity was so shocked and scared. Plus 50,000 people were working in the twin towers that day. Everywhere firefighters, police officers and paramedics came altogether to help even his uncle. Then suddenly it happened again. Another plane hit the other tower. Smoke and dust were everywhere. At last Lucas's father arrived just on time to get him to safety.

But the story doesn't end there, there's more and I'm not going to spoil it for you. You can read the rest of the story from I Survived, The Attacks of September 11, 2001.

I wrote this article to honor the people who sacrificed their lives just to save other people. And I also want to honor the people who survived that day and the author, Lauren Tarshis who wrote this great book. What I learned from the book is about the sacrifices and the victims on that tragic day. That 9/11 will always be remembered for the courage and the sacrifices of saving lives.

Hilda Comics Review

I met Hilda in Netflix. I got hooked right away and finished the whole season in just a couple of days. I can't wait for season 2 even if it's still far from 2020, I’m hoping that it will be worth the wait. Hilda is also known as Hildafolk and the author and illustrator is Luke Pearson. Hilda's setting is a magical world where their house is surrounded by the enchanted forest. You can find interesting characters like a troll, giants, elves and a lot more. It is fascinating enough for me because of the intriguing story and the adventures of Hilda and her friends. As much as I love Hilda, my sister Hana likes it too. She just turned four and she already likes Hilda too or maybe colorful books instead. These books that my dad bought are graphic ones. Hana even insisted to add her name on the first page where you can see who the owner of the book is. Such a cute toddler, but sometimes there are times when I don't feel like playing with her because she insists on what she wants. Oh well, my mom said she's still young and try to understand and teach her the good ways. I'm the older one so I think I really have to show her how to play properly. For sure when you watch it on Netflix, you'll love it too as much as I did. You might want to own her books too, these my dad bought on sale at Amazon. I actually wanted the novel, not the graphics one but it was not on sale and my dad couldn’t find it on Amazon, so he just bought the comics instead. It’s still also a good one and it's still from Hilda. The story though is way different from the Netflix show. In the comics Hilda camps outside the house but in the show, Hilda did not. The story is still good and very unpredictable so I think you should read or watch since the series is good too even if it's different as compared to the books.

Leather Journal Note | UNBOXING

My mom gave me this leather journal as a present and I thought I could unbox it and I did. This is how the video looks like. I hope you like it. 

This classic looking and an artsy journal is perfect for my sketching, I can bring it anywhere I go. I can also use it as a diary. I will show you what comes out of it like some of my sketches but not my personal information that I’ll write on my journal or diary. Maybe I can give you a look but not everything because it’s a secret.

This leather is so cute that I’m thinking of giving one to my friend and I know she will like it. Now I know what to give on Christmas day. The design looks so pretty with all those butterflies with a princess on the front cover. I also like how small it is because it can fit perfectly on my bag.

It’s nice to have a new book to draw in since my old sketchbook is full, good thing I have this one now. If I don’t have this, I’ll end up drawing on loose papers instead. If I’ll have a chance to buy whatever I want in Amazon it would be this journal. This journal even looks better than my old one! My old note has a glittery cover with some papers inside and I made some doodles on the cover. I like my old ones but I like this even better. I just hope this new note won’t run out of paper, because if it does, I will go CRAZY for more papers. My mom said we can order the paper or maybe I can cut some clean paper and fit it in there. 

I can’t wait to sketch! Hold on, I guess I’m going to start now, so I think I’ll have to end writing this review now. Thanks for reading my blog and viewing my video, please leave a thumbs up, like, maybe comment and subscribe as well. 

Song: The Bodies of Water

Lyrics

We are the bodies of water. 

Watch us go up or down. 

We are the bodies of water.

Watch us go up or down. 

I,m the biggest body 

I'm the ocean. (repeat)

I'm the body who flows and never stops 

I'm a river. (repeat)

I'm a body with fishponds 

I'm a lake. (repeat)

I'm also home to fish 

I'm a pond. (repeat) 

I'm a body who flows over a cliff. 

I'm a waterfall. (repeat)

We are the bodies of water.

Watch us go up or down. 

We are the bodies of water. 

Watch us go up or down. 

A Christmas Carol Book Review

I just read A Christmas Carol and I learned a lot of things but first here is the story summarized by me.

Pennyroyal Academy Book Review

I just read Pennyroyal Academy and I can’t wait to read another book. Anyway here is my book report.

Pennyroyal Academy by MA Larson

There was once a girl lost in the woods who wears spiderwebs for clothes. She doesn’t know her name or why she is there in the treacherous forest. As she explores the dangerous forest she heard some weird noises then she saw a light shimmering out of the forest so she ran to the light as fast as her feet could take her. Then she arrived at a little cottage where she got trapped by a witch but then she was safely saved by a boy named Remington who enlists to Pennyroyal Academy to become a knight. Since the girl has nowhere to go she enlists at Pennyroyal Academy too. So she joined Remington on a harrowing adventure where they have to pass some dangerous places. After that harrowing adventure, they arrived at Pennyroyal Academy where princesses and knights battle witches and dragons. There she was given the name Evie and as she explores and learns how to be a princess, she surprisingly learns about her family, friends, and enemies and also about herself. And when the witches creep closer Evie learned what it truly means to be a princess. I learned that you should be strong and brave. Do not be scared because you are stronger and braver than you think. So if you think you are strong and brave enough, enlist to Pennyroyal Academy to become tomorrow's princesses and knights!

Wish Book Review

I've just read Wish written by Barbara O’Connor. This story is not real, it’s fiction and the story began in Colby, North Carolina and the main character is Charlie Reese. Heres the summary:

Wish by Barbara O'Connor

Charlie Reese is a girl who lives with a broken family. Her family does not care about her. Its because her mom and dad are always fighting and every time they fight, a swear word would come out of their mouths. Her dad always fights so much that people called him scrappy and in fact, he is now in jail because of his fondness of fighting. Despite this, she has been making the same wish since fourth grade. Since Charlie has an unstable family she was sent to live with her aunt Bertha and uncle Gus although she doesn't really know them. She hated the place and things and all and when she went to school everything seems to get even worse. Kids laugh at her, and Audrey Mitchell, a girl from class, shoved and kicked her. That is until she meets wishbone, a skinny brown and black stray dog who loves her so much and Howard a surprising up and down boy who became a true friend to Charlie. Soon Charlie gets in trouble and when she discovers her wish, it turned out that it is not what she needs after all. Soon she also finds her auntie and uncle caring and loving. But with the help of her loving aunt and uncle, a true friend and the dog of her life, she discovers what a true family is. In the story, I've learned what a true family is and just like Charlie with the help of her new family and friend, she learned what a family truly is. A family should be caring about each other and not fighting. Definitely no exchanging of swear words.
