Halloween!

Boo! Haha, I bet I got you there! You know what time of year it is. Halloween! I love Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays! We all love to dress up and scare people. If not, then we love to dress up. We all know Halloween as a holiday where we go trick-or-treating, but here is a legend that explains how Halloween came to be...

It was a dark and stormy night, and the moon was full. The quiet little hill was no longer quiet anymore. October 30th is hallow's eve and that is when all the creatures of the night come alive. Vampires, goblins, ghouls, cyclops, and even witches come to haunt the little hill. On that hill lived a number of people who were terrified of the spirits of the night. An old and wise man who lived on that hill came up with an idea. He said to the people," Vampires hate pumkins, so let us all bring pumpkins and carve a scary face into it so that the vampires get scared away." Everyone acknowledged the old man's words and did exactly what they were told. Next he said, "To scare the other spirits, we must dress up and scare them away." Again, everyone obediently followed his directions. The next day, October 31st, the spirits came as expected. Believe it or not, the old man's idea worked! The vampires got scared of the pumkins and the other spirits were terrified of the monsters that were the people of the hill. From then on, Halloween was about scaring off the spirits.
As the years passed on, we learned of new ways to celebrate Halloween. That is how Halloween came to be. Mwahahah...

Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars

Image
Hi there! Today I was watching a movie on Netflix called "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars!" It is a Disney movie starring Jennifer Stone. A girl named Harriet Welsch is determined to win the title of class blogger. While on her "mission" Harriet realizes that the best thing to blog about was right in front of her! Harriet's entire school is obsessed with this new pop star named Skander Hills, the star of   the movie her father was producing called    Spy Teen .  But as she became more popular at school because of her blog, her friends had started to abandoned her. Before she knew it, Harriet had blogged about being "best friends" with Skander, and to prove it she went to extremes! She snuck onto the set, into his hotel room, and even followed him home! The final straw was when she posted on her blog that Skander hates his fans. Her father was about to lose the movie deal, that's when Harriet stepped in. Somehow she convinced Skander to do the movie.  ...

Penguins of Madagascar

Image
Hey guys! I recently just saw a movie called Penguins of Madagascar. The Penguins of Madagascar movie was about four penguins who are on a mission to defeat the evil octopus, Dave. The funny thing is, that they don't even remember Dave! The octopus doesn't  like the penguins because when he was in the New York Zoo everyone was interested in him, until the penguins came. The cuteness of the penguins distracted everyone from the cool octopus. The poor thing was shipped from here to there, always losing to the penguins. Finally, he had had enough! Dave was through with always getting ignored. He hatched a plan to change all penguins, not just the four, from cute and cuddly to mean and ugly! There are four penguins: Skipper- the leader, Kowalski- the smart one, Rico- the crazy one, and Private- the cute one. No one thought of private as a real member. They only kept him in the team because he was cute! But, when Dave turned all the penguins into mean and ugly monsters, Priv...

A Little Princess

Hi everyone! I picked up a movie yesterday called A Little Princess.  I  had read the book, but I hadn't seen the movie. I thought, "It should be interesting to compare the movie to the book." With that in mind, I bought it.  The movie was a touching story about a little girl named Sara Crewe. Sara's father, Mr. Crewe, had to go into war. He put Sara under the responsibility of Miss Minchin's Seminary for Girls. When they arrived, Miss Minchin was there to greet them. She seemed very kind. The cold truth was that she was more interested in Sara's wealth rather than Sara herself. Miss Minchin lead the way to  little Sara's  room. While there, Mr. Crewe had to bid farewell to his daughter, for his boat would leave in a few minutes. He gifted his little princess a doll from France which he named Emily. "Whenever you miss me dearly," he said to Sara, "tell Emily. She will send me a message no matter where I am. When you hug her, you'll rea...
