I would like to name my portraits the max portraits because they are portraits of me. I created this work of art by drawing, water coloring and foam plate printing. I learned that just drawing is not easy it takes a lot of skill. My favorite part was the ink. If I could change something I would change the foam plate because it’s ugly looking. While making I was surprised how black the ink was. I don’t want to share anything else.

One of my favorite mandarin quizlit sets this year is the set about the classroom. This set taught me a lot of extremely important characters. I feel like I learned more in this set than any other set, I liked learning it and know how important all the characters are. I love the old set but i’m excited to learn the new set.

I chose the color purple because my family represents justice and sovereignty I chose berries because my family is always open to new ideas, And we’re peaceful. I think the bear represents my mom who is very tough.  I chose the Pegasus Because everyone in my family is smart and has a great vocabulary. I chose chains because we help people and donate money. Last but not least is a Pokemon card, because I like Pokemon and video games.

I am Richard the 4th and I am experiencing the worst part of my life. Fasting. I just had a great bath to wash away my sins. I am tired, hungry, thirsty and my knees hurt. At least all get to see the king and have a big feast with my family. I can’t believe I trained for twelve years to sit and pray for 24 hours. I can’t wait to be richer than Sir Henry the 6th, all the beautiful women will love me for my bravery. I’m a little bit scared of death, I hope I don’t die immediately or die in vain. I worry that God is in aid of the other side of my battles and does not help me.

I can not believe that Knights have to go through all of these rituals just to fight other people, I understand the training but the fasting and bathing and coronation. I am so excited to be famous, everyone is going to sing about Sir Richard the 4th and I will live in a huge castle. I am excited and scared to go into battle. On one hand it could be a lot of fun riding around and killing people. On the other I could die really easily or be punished for doing something bad. I want to serve our lord and that’s the real reason I took this job. Not because the money, not because the women, I became a knight to serve God. I would tell more about my experience but I am so tired I can’t think.

After we went to Copenhagen We went to Stockholm, in Stockholm we saw some very interesting art and learned a lot about the culture. The most exciting thing we went to was the Vasa museum, this museum was built around a boat that was found in the nineteen fifties by a young Swedish archaeologist. We looked at everything scavenged from the boat there were cannons, clothes, shoes, rings and various other things, my favorite thing we saw was an old diver suit worn by one of the divers that helped scavenge the boat. Another one of my favorite things we saw was the captains cabin because I took a picture of it and accidentally put a random filter on it and it looked really cool. We also took a tour of the old town which is about half of Stockholm and the old town is where all the tourists go to learn about the culture of Stockholm. In the old town there were a lot of gift shops (because a lot of tourists go there), and a lot of them have the same things but it was really funny to go to all of them and see what they had.

Very few people are really good and deserve the title hero. But Two people named Jim Withers and Odysseus really do deserve that title. They both do many courageous acts and have many great talents that they use to help other people. I think that odysseus could improve but everybody can improve.

 

Odysseus may be flawed, he’s has a bit of hubris and sometimes can be selfish, but all in all he’s a hero. He is very selfless and seems to care about his crew more than himself, a time when he showed this is when his crew opened the bag of winds and sent them way off course when they were less than a mile away from home. Instead of jumping off of the boat in despair he kept on defending his crew even if they made that terrible mistake. This occurred on page 19.     

How many people can say they have helped save 2000 lives not many people, but dr Jim Withers has helped so many people. Dr Jim Withers is a doctor who helps homeless people if they are injured. He goes to people on the street of Philadelphia or other place like under bridges and helps make sure they are healthy. Dr Jim Withers is brave and a quick thinker, with the skills and knowledge to help people in need of help. He is brave and dedicated to helping people he will do anything to make sure everyone will be okay. In the video he is shown helping homeless people. If Dr Jim Withers wasn’t alive Philadelphia would have 2000 less people. He has saved countless lives and has helped so many people. He has made a big Impact in the city of Philadelphia.

Where would we be without heroes? Probably in a war that will never end. Many people have risked their lives for the things that they believe in like Odysseus who fought so hard to see his people, or Dr Jim Withers who helps people on the streets of philadelphia. Both people who show heroic feats, that inspire many to do great things.

 

120,000,000 plastic spoons and forks get dumped in a landfill in India.

Narayana Peesapaty is changing that with a spoon that can survive 3 years and can be eaten

A man decided to make resilient cutlery that’s edible and delicious to help reduce the amounts of plastic cutlery being thrown away. It applies to the rule “There is no such place as away” because you can’t get rid of anything but with this you can help reduce the amount of plastic waste. I think in the future this invention should replace ALL  plastic cutlery around the world, because then we can save lots of waste. Maybe they could also replace paper products and other plastic products with edible things too. Like paper plates and plastic cups. This edible cutlery idea could expand,  it’s more resilient and can survive three weeks on a shelf. So the world would have a lot less waste if we used these edible inventions.
