My Favorite Class

My favorite class that I have had this year is movement. In movement, we got to choreograph dances, we got to play on the playground, and we also got to play games with each other. It was my favorite fine art and the teacher, Mrs. Norkus, was nice and knew how to make us face challenges but also made us have fun with it. Movement was the fine art that I had last trimester and I felt that I had a lot of freedom in this class. Movement was especially fun to me because the other classes required me sitting down and listening to the teachers when I just wanted to do physical activities. 

The best part of this class was making the dances because I got to do it with my friends. I liked to think of the choreography and we also got to use some props in our dances. This made us think in a creative way. At the end of the trimester, we had to perform in front of the other fine arts on the dance that we were working on for a few weeks. I did this project with a partner. Making the dances was hard but it was really fun to make. Another part of the class that I loved was the walkabouts. I liked them because we got to walk around the campus and I got to talk to my friends. We also went to the playground and played four square. 

 

My Ideal World

Our current world has many flaws but don’t you think that those mistakes make the world a better place? My ideal world is in a solar system of two other planets. My planet is very similar to Earth, but I took out a few things. This world is designed to be better than Earth though. It’s called Reptar.

Reptar is the planet furthest from the sun in my solar system. The temperature is the same as Earth as places closer to the equator are warmer. My planet has rings like Saturn and is ten times bigger than Earth to prevent overpopulation and give more space to my people. Reptar has 10 countries and 3 continents as all of the countries contribute to the economy equally. This world cannot get polluted so my people don’t have to worry about ruining the planet. The currency that we use are rupees as they are made out of silver or gold. The only language that people speak on it is English so that everyone on Reptar can communicate with each other.

Nature is one of the most important things in the world because it habits wildlife, gives you materials, gives you a place to live, and many other things. Overall, my nature is similar to Earth’s. Reptar has more trees because there is a strong demand for wood and paper. Trees would also clean the air for my residents. The mountains on Reptar are taller on average than Earth’s mountains. There are only animals and plants that can’t hurt you, and I would take out sharks, alligators, crocodiles, snakes, and poison ivy so people can roam around nature without any worries.

Military is crucial to protecting my planet. Instead of different nations having separate militaries to fight each other like on Earth, I want a united military with all of my ten countries so they can fight any invasions against David’s or Arjun’s planet or extraterrestrial invasions. To achieve this goal, we should have a strong supply of high tech robots who can fight very well and are bullet proof. Each of them are made out of strong metals while holding ray guns that can melt anyone or any material in the universe. These robots also have claws that are sharp and can hold things. I would also make another type of robot that is like calling 911  from Earth with cops, ambulances, and firefighters. All the robots are programmed to not be able to get hacked and follow any orders that a soldier tells them too unless the order is to cause harm on allies.

The laws on Reptar are strict and all major offenses are punishable by death from the robots and all petty crimes’ punishments would be decided in court. Strict laws would make the civilians scared to do any crime so it would make the crime rate lower. The cops on my planet are fast and can fly. There are no weapons on my planet that can destroy my robot cops. The government system on Reptar is all a representative democracy and there is one president for every one of my 10 countries. All of my president’s love each other and would not start any conflicts with each other. The taxes would be based on how much money you make as it takes 35% of your salary.

My last topic is on the education system. My education system is from K-10 as college starts earlier than Earth. This is so people would learn more useful things about what their job should be. I think that this would make the economy better because people would start contributing to it earlier. There will be less homework because it will lead to stress and I don’t want my little Reptar babies to be stressed.

Overall, my planet is a lot like Earth but with a few changes to make it the best I can. 

Window or Mirror

One of my favorite books that I have read again recently is Wonder. This book is about a kid who was born deformed. He was home schooled his whole life, but then decided that he wanted to go to normal school. There, he faced many challenges such as making friends, bullying, and more.

A window book is a book that makes you feel like your reading about someone else’s life, but a mirror book make you feel like your reading about a character who is similar to you. I think that this book is a window because I am not deformed, nor am I having trouble with other people at school. The main character, August, was also getting bullied at school and I don’t get bullied at school. Wonder by P.J. Palacio. This book is realistic fiction because these things could happen but it’s not a real situation. I often get window books because most books out there aren’t mirrors since I don’t relate to any of them. If there were to be someone who doesn’t focus much on school work and plays video games, then that would be a mirror for me. I think that it would be cool to read a book where I can relate to the main character or a side character .
