The Second Voyage

This is a story about a crew member on a voyage from the 1800s.

The ship was rocking from side to side, as if the ocean’s arms were cradling us. The wind billowed in the mast, and the boat creaked.

It was the second voyage, and it wasn’t the smoothest one. I tried to keep what little I ate inside my stomach, but stale bread ended up hurling off the boat.

Our captain, Phineas Copre, stood strong even through the harsh weather. He shouted to the crew, “Get on board! Land is approaching!” The words caught in the wind, but they rang loudly in my ears. There was land! After 39 days, there was finally land! I pulled myself up and hurried to the captain. We all steered and turned, the boat rocking even more. One of our crew members fell off the ship! I could hear the wooden boards creaking beneath my feet, moaning from all the weight. Lightening suddenly hit the mast! The boat shook, and a huge wave came hurtling toward us. 

Tune in soon to find out what happens!

Link, Watch Out!

Image
Hey peeps! I am back again! Anyway, my awesome friend, Leo, likes Legend of Zelda. So, I looked up what the main character, Link, looked like and I drew him. When Leo saw this he said it looked cool and I am hoping you think so too! Oh, and one more thing. If you're wondering why Blue Box (I think that's what they are called) is saying, "Watch out!" then it is because Leo sent me a video of a song on YouTube. I will not post the link, but the song is called Watch Out.  Thanks for checking out my art!  Let me know if you like Legend of Zelda and I will draw more art based on it.

Luiaard's Crits #1: The Book and Movie Flipped

Flipped is probably one of the best books or movies I have ever watched/read.  When they meet in second grade, Juli Baker instantly  falls  in love with her neighbor, Bryce Loski. Bryce, however, does not feel the spark. From that day forward, he tries hard to avoid Juli and keep her unpredictable-ness away. After six years, she begins to feel that she was wrong about him being the love of her life and looks beneath the surface. Unfortunately, that is just about the time that Bryce begins to think he was wrong about Juli, too.  Book:  It might be a romance, but it is a really cute book about how both of them see beneath the surface. It has a really good story even if it is a little mushy. I would give it 5 stars! Movie: I love the movie as well and I love how the director really alternated the point of view just like the author did in the book. The movie contains less details, but it is much more visual and it is as amazing as the book.

She is always curious and loves snowflakes. When Aura is not frolicking in the snow, she is in the forest. She likes to eat mushrooms and drink tea. When it’s not snowing, she observes the night sky and records the stars she sees.
