1.My character would wish to get out of her own house because at Joss's school they were message the students in the other school for a lesson and online she met a girl called Kate she invited Kate to her house after they new each other.Once Kate came to Joss's house,Kate started to be very annoying because she kept on saying weird things like (Im allergic to green stuff) and (Im allergic to vanilla ice cream do you have chocolate)

2.yes because if she wouldn't get out of her house she would need to physically kick Kate out of her house

3.Yes the wish would change the story allot because that is the main part of the story and if it didn't happen the story would have been boring.

If I had three wishes it would be.
1.Make my family healthy.
2.Make my family happy.
3.So I wouldn't need to worry about anything.

5.Yes my wishes would put a big impact on other people.

1. My character would wish to fit in with other people because Gibbon moved to a new school.
2. I think the wish is ok because when you fit in it feels like you're not weird but it you fit in you won't be unique. Like, why fit in when you were made to stand out? (Quote by Dr. Seuss)
3. The wishes would make a big change to the story because if he didn't stand out he would have never made friends with Alistar the Dragon, Ebony the Phoenix, Yuri the Yeti and Fiona the Fairy.
4. If I had three wishes they would be:
1. I hope Covid-19 will go away
2. For my family to be happy and healthy
3. For animals not to go extinct anymore 🐬🐅🐦🐳
My wishes would impact other people's lives positively!

My character would wish for Aunt Vea to disappear. Aunt has always been mean to her so I think that would be something she would wish for. This will affect my character's sister, as they would have no one to look after them unless...
I know this might sound sappy, but my 3 wishes would be...
a. For Antartica not to melt (that would mean for global warming to reduce),
b. (I'm not sure if this is appropriate) For Covid-19 to bring to a halt and
c. For my family to lead happy and healthy lives.
They would probably impact a lot of people, but hopefully in a good way

1.My charector would wish to get out of the sea because he has face a shark before. So, I think if he had seen a shark simming in the open sea before he won't like to even see it again. It will also make him so aware of the sea and might not like to swim in the sea anymore.

2. The wish is a very good choice. Who would stay in the sea that you know a big terrifying shark is in there. The second point is that people describe it like a killing machine

3. It will chang the whole thing because this story is about surviving the shark and trying to get out by themselves. This story is also for Sam to save Michi so yeah.

1.My family would be safe from Covid-19
2. To not be super serios about Covid-19
3. No more Global warming so no pollution.

It would impact if Covid-19 carrys on there will be like 100,000,000 spreading germs. It will be a total desaster. My third will be very useful because in thailand right now because the most number of pollution is 250.

I would wish that1. My character would wish that his father would come back to life and would hope to stop his evil brother.
2. They are good wishes because his father's evil brother wanted to take over the land of stories.
3. Only one of their wishes come true. They are able to stop their late father's brother, but a new set of villains come along.
4.
a) My family will stay healthy.
b) To help other people when I grow up
c) Not have to worry about much
5. Yes. I think my wishes would have a big impact on other people.

My character wishes that the war ends and that the Devourer is beaten so peace can return to the world.
The wishes are good because he wishes for world peace that is killing countless people.
If their wishes came true then the world war of Erdas would come to an end and everyone can live happily.
If I had 3 wishes I would wish for:
1) World peace
2) For Global Warming to not exist
3) To have stretchy powers to save people.(Also because stretchy powers would be cool)
My wishes would save earth and I could save people and make sure they're safe and no one would fight.

1)My character would wish to look more like her sister.

4) If i had 3 wishes i would give every child in the world the opportunity to go to school,
to stop having more viruses and to keep y family happy and healthy.

Seb: War horse

2020-04-02 03:06:45 UTC

1. My character, which is a horse, would wish for a horse who died previously in the book to rise from the dead as that horse helped him through many difficult times in the book and he was strongly connected to him.
2. The other wish he would make is to stay with hi owner, Albert, for ever, and to never be taken away as Albert was one of the few people who cares for Joey, the main character.

3. The final wish the Joey would make is to never go to war again, and to always stay at Albert's farm. He would make this wish as the war had a negative impact both physically, and mentally, as well as emotionally.

I think that these are good choices as the things he went through in the war where horrible, and he would not want to be affected by it again.

It would not really affect the story except that there would be one extra character at the end, but it would be more of an after effect.

My wishes:

1. For my family and friends to always stay safe and healthy.

2. For no corrupt presidents.

3. And for a more peaceful, healthier, safer, and more rightful world where there is no such thing as inequality and climate change.

My wishes would affect the world positively as the world in general would be better, however for corrupt governments these changes would be fatal as they would be powerless.

1)My character would wish that he could have a normal face and not get stared at where ever he goes.
2)I think that it is a good choice because if he doesn't, more and more people will make fun of him.
3)Yes the wish would change the story because that is the point of the movie and if august wasn't like that the movie would be boring.(no offence.)
4) 1. To make my family safe from COVID-19
2.To stop pollution
3. give everyone in the world water and food to live.

5) this would impact the world because it would make everyone happy and make their lives easier.

My character would wish that his parents would come up to the from the dead due to the fact that his family died in the Big Tilt in London. The wishes would affect him and others because his parents were First Class historians and were extremely important.

If I would make a wish, it would be to make my family healthy so there would be no STRESS and also to stop COVID 19 so we can go to school.

To save the great barrier reef because it is dying because of people playing with the coral and stpeeing on the coarl.

The wish is a good choice because
its trying to save the great barrier reef.

Yes because the wish is the main part about the story.

To stop global warming because its harming the world alot.
To make sure world war 3 dose not happen because of our technology could destroy part of the world.
To help the poor so they can have a chance at a good life and then they may have longer to live.

They would change the world because i would stop WW3 so some of the planet wont be destroyed and when i give money to the poor they will have a better chance to have a longer and better life and to stop global warming so that the places where you live wont get destroyed.

Tommy - Ghosts

TOMMY_TRINH — 2020-04-02 03:20:37 UTC

My character would wish...1. To get out of her new town mainly because the town has ghosts and she doesn't like ghosts

2. She would want to never see Carlos again because Carlos keeps on trying to show her ghosts and she doesn't like ghosts.

3. She would wish for her sister, Maya to get better because Maya can't breath well.

If I had 3 wishes.. I would wish for...1. Corona to actually stop2. Always be able to see my friend3. For everyone to never be poor

My wishes will have big impact because people can keep going to offices and see their partners in reality and not virtuality. And another reason is that everyone can live a good long life life.

My character wishes to find it's parents,but it has amnesia so she was lost in deep sea for song long that it forgot who it's parents were.

I think the choice was good because even though it takes a long time find, but if it found them, it will be much easier for my character to survive in the ocean.

The choice will change something in the story. My character will survive longer if it achieve its choice

If I have 3 wishes, I would wish all animals can live happily in their habitat, The virus will be gone soon and people should stop killing animals that often.

My wishes might make the earth a better place and we can have more animal friends!

My book is Percy Jackson and the last Olympian, and the character I'm choosing is Percy Jackson.

I think if a genie were to give Percy Jackson 3 wishes he would wish for:

1. To send Kronos and his army back to the depths of Tartarus, so no more people get hurt while fighting.

2. To resurrect everybody who died during fighting Kronos and his army, so he can get his friends and family back.

3. To get Luke out of Kronos's body and take the evil out of him.

My wishes:

1. No Covid-19 so we can go back to school and we don't have to be stuck in quarantine.

2. Good health for my family and friends.

3. No poverty

Book name: Lighting Girl
My character would wish for her super powers to be taken away because she feels that she not good enough.

I think that it a bad choice because the world needs people who can save people.

Her wish would change the whole story because then there would be no proper story line.

If I had 3 wishes they would be:
1. For the whole world to stay safe from the new virus because many people are dyeing.
2. For no poverty to be there because many people are suffering.
3. For everyone in the world to have free health care because some people can't afford hospitals.

My wishes would change the world in a good way because it will make the world a better place.

Wonder

1. I think that August would like to a normal person, like his sister Via.

2. People who he would meet wouldn't stare at him for a while.

3. Christopher wouldn't move to another place

I think his wishes are good because he isn't a normal person and it is good to want to be a normal person. I think he also wants to play with his good friend more often.

It will change the story a lot because it is about him and it is about everyone to be kind.

If I had 3 wishes they would be:
1. For my family to be happy
2. We will able to live long
3. For my future to be good
It will make most of my family happier.
