The reason he got such a crooked nose was because the lady used his beak for tools such as scraping Salmon and scrape Squirrel skins. Since she used it so much, it began to wear out a little bit. Then Raven used his powers to turn into human form and made an army of sand people to scare the Villagers away. eventually he found his nose/beak and put it back on just before the lady came back in the house. Raven flew out of the house without even knowing his nose was crooked. The authors are Barbara and Ethan J.

My state was Nevada and I liked my book.  It was about how a man wanted to create National Parks so he asked 30 people to go on a camping trip with him.  There were members of Congress, rich people and even a movie star.  He was trying to convince people that there should be national parks to protect the wildlife in the United States. He also hired Ti Sing, the main character, to cook for everyone.  Ti Sing was a good cook and made very delicious food. And then things started to fall apart.  First, he lost some donkeys that had tons of gourmet meat.  Then, he lost the second food donkey, but he was able to scavenge food to make delicious meals.  In the end, exactly 1 month, 1 year and 1 day after the trip,  the National Parks law was passed.  Ti Sing was a big part of this because he made such delicious food

Six weeks later Autumn comes home with his tail recovered, healthy and with a collar around his neck that had a phone number on it. So Danielle calls that number and the man that picked up the phone said that Autumn was his cat and that he found Autumn on a stormy night and named him Stormy. That made Danielle upset . But a couple days later, Autumn came home with a note from the man that picked up the phone that said sorry and explaining that he was a lonely man. When she told her students at school about the note, they encouraged her to invite the man over. So she did. And when she did she realized that it was a man around the same age as her that it was love at first sight.

It was related to Rhode island. The genre is HORROR. I hate horror books. It was about a boy who lived in Los Angeles, and he moved to a really sketchy house. In his room he found a closet, he looked inside and he saw a stain that creep out hands from the stain and then disappeared the next night he stayed up all night. Then he saw the body of the ghost, then he went near and fell back into the 1700s he finished his quest to help a slave then he went back into the real world.After that, he saw the ghost again. Then he was murdered the next night by the ghost, that haunted that house of Rhode Island.]]> 2021-03-05 16:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/5ooa3oa74napmbcd/wish/1274436623 Porter https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/5ooa3oa74napmbcd/wish/1274450704 Jim Thorpe's Bright Path.
When Jim was a kid, him and his twin loved playing outside. He was incredibly fast and would always beat his twin brother in races.
Then when he started getting older his dad told him he would have to start going to school, and his dad sent him to boarding school. Jim hated it there and though it was a waste of time. His twin told him to keep trying and he would eventually get it. Sadly though, his twin ended up dying to a disease.  It broke Jim's heart but he kept trying. Shortly after his mom also died. That's he started playing football. He was incredible at it and loved it. But then his dad died and he was all alone. He kept playing and when he got to collage he started setting school records. The coach also saw him as a sprinter and put him on the track team. He later got to competing the the pro football, mainly as a running back.]]> 2021-03-05 16:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/5ooa3oa74napmbcd/wish/1274450704 Kevin https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/5ooa3oa74napmbcd/wish/1274466989 I read the book above the rim it was about a man when he was a kid had to sneek under fences to play basketball because it was all white ony when ever he woulkd play people would stop a watch whenever he jumped and it seemed like he should fall now he wouldnt he would keep going ubove the rim and with a flick of the wrist or a spin off his finger th ball would go in the hoop later on in the story he went to collage and he one them chapion ships and then he became a first round pick for the lakers the he had a game before that game he got denied by every hotel exept for one and every nice resturant cause they wereall white only so he had to eat cold food from the bus station when he got to the game he wasent in uniform everyoen wondered why he said i am a human being and i wanted to be treated like one he was good at playing basketball as a kid and as an adault his name was Elgin Baylor and he changed basketaball]]> 2021-03-05 16:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/5ooa3oa74napmbcd/wish/1274466989 Emre https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/5ooa3oa74napmbcd/wish/1275172721 I read the book called Soilders For Equility By Ducan Tanatiuh the story took place in WW1.
