And so on but the salt water crocodile ends up wining between all of them. And think its a great book for all ages. Its also cool because you could read it to learn about the creatures to. And some of this fights could happen in real life but some cant because of where they. live that is it.  ]]> 2018-01-31 20:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226808459 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226821179 When Harry was born he was a wizard. Lord Voldemort tired killing him but he couldn't because Harry is invincible. On page 16, it says that Harry survived Voldemort. Then as he grew older, he had been stuck with his terrible cow faced aunt Petunia and his terrifying uncle Vernon. Then when all the sudden, he gets a letter from a place he had never imagined. it said he was invited to a magical place called Hogwarts. But before he could even read the letter his uncle took them and set them  on fire. Then he got at least ten but his aunt ripped them. Hogwarts Professors were mad because Harry couldn't come. they wanted him so they gave him 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 of them. Vernon couldn't do anything about it. So then when a GIANT guy came in, he announced his name. It was Reubes Hagrid. He took home out the door and they went into a shop full of magic supplies and then they went on to the platform 9 and three quarters. I twas odd. Then he had made a friend named Ron. When they got onto the Hogwarts Express he had so much money he could buy what ever he wanted. They got all the candy and then one random girl knocked into them. She asked'have you seen a toad" And they said no. They introduced themselves and then she introduced herself. Her name was Hermione Granger. When they went off the train they all got to see Dumbledore. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts.Then there was a Professor named Professor McGonagall. She had something called a sorting hat which would out you in a house that you would fit in.  There were 4. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slitherin. Harry got to the Gryffindor And so did Ron. After the giant feast, they went to Hagrids hut and were talking about how someone was trying to steal a very special stone that belonged to Nicholas Flamel. Then they looked for a book about Nicholas Flamel.]]> 2018-01-31 21:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226821179 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226821287 I think that in percy jackson and the olympians Percy will fail his quest. I think this because on page 141 the oracle "(a fortune teller) says that he will fail AND be betrayed by a friend. I also think this because Percy must travel to the underground or "The Underworld." to retreive Zeus' lightning bolt. the thing is the underworld probably does not have water and Percy heals from water. I also think this because Percy is not expirienced  so i don't think Percy will be able to defeat Hadis. I also think Percy will not win because the Oracle says that he can and will be betrayed by one of his friends, i think that may be a huge hit for Percy because Percy will not expect it and will probably hurt Percy too much. maybe enough for Percy to be knocked out and taken back to halfblood hill or kidnapped or even killed! i think he will also fail because when he returns the lightning bolt to Zeus he may take Percy and knock out or kidnap him, so there are many ways Percy can almost or do die. Percy also may not be accepted by Poseidon and will be emotiolly scared for life just like he was when his mom died. so he may not want to go on his journey because he may die. I do not know if Percy does survive when he goes on his quest to redeem his uncles bad deeds, but I honestly think he either should not go on his quest or get more trustworthy backup OR tell one of his friends to not go to the quest with him.]]> 2018-01-31 21:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226821287 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226821678 Greg Heffley has to take care of an egg for 24 hours and Greg's egg did not make it. Greg's mom had the egg for breakfast and Greg did not get his grades. When you take care of an egg don't let your mom eat it. ]]> 2018-01-31 21:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226821678 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226836601 Why doesn't mr. Baggins (Bilbo) like adventures? He is a grumpy old hobbit, but it doesn't mean he can't have any fun! On the first page it says"This hobbit was a very well-to-do hobbit". Right now I think the main idea is if you don't join in on stuff you won't experience the good and the bad and learn more from your mistakes. At the beginning of this story I thought mr.Baggins was just a grumpy old hag but now that I know that he will go on the adventure I think he is more of a wealthy person, who likes the company of other people.]]> 2018-01-31 22:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226836601 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226837028  In the book Jake and Lily Jake started to hang out with mean boys on his street. They were called the DEATH RAYS. And all they did was go around the neighborhood making fun of kids doing different things. I thought Jake was a good kid but I guess I was wrong instead he was selfish because he and his twin sister Lily they always used to play games it was always Lily and Jake or Jake and Lily but now Jake doesn't want to hang out with his sister.
His group is a very bad influence on Jake. Before Jake was the good kid never got in trouble nothing, but on the other hand Lily always got in trouble but she would always take the blame. I love how the author changed it up by Lily being bad and Jake being good because in most other books it's the other way around. And on page. 132 the DEATH RAYS spy on this boy they called him goobla and that just meant a really weird kid. So they spyed on him and the boy said " do you want to be part of my club" and they said yes but then the boy said" willl you help me builed my tree house?" they made a lie up saying they can't so they made him do all the work. I think Jake will change and learn a lesson.

For example in page 141 Manny gets extra desert by telling his mom that it is for his imaginary friends. I don't think that it is fair for his brothers because they don't get extra desert.]]> 2018-01-31 23:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226846029 frank_sze https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226848446 I think that Greg has unfair siblings, because Rodrick punches Greg a lot. For example in page 8 Greg got punched in the arm three times for no reason. I also think Mannys unfair too because in page 48 Manny wrote on Greg's door with sharpie and did not get into trouble. I think Manny affects Greg and Rodrick's personalities because they use to be the center of attention before Manny was born. When Manny was born Greg was depressed because he did not get any attention. I think if he doesn't get any attention Greg will end up like Rodrick.  ]]> 2018-01-31 23:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226848446 frank_sze https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226849746 2018-01-31 23:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226849746 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226853337 In the book Middle School: The worst Years of my Life, the main character is Rafe. I think that Rafe is very clever because on page 82-83, a student named Miller was edging Rafe on about being the baddest kid in school. Miller thought that Rafe was trying to prove that, but Rafe said, "I'm not trying to prove anything." But then Miller said, "Too late. You and me. Outside. Now." But then Rafe said, "No!" Miller asked why in a very obnoxious way and said, "Too scared?   Chicken?" Then Rafe said, "No, Detention!" Then Rafe ran off. After, Rafe hard Miller say, "You can run, but you can't hide!" Rafe thought Miller was right. He thought, Unless Hills Village Middle School had a witness protection program, I was dead meat. I think Rafe is very clever because he said he had to go to detention when Miller was bullying him. I also think that Rafe is brave because I like how he stood up for himself during his little run in with Miller. His cleverness and braveness kind of merged into one big superpower at that moment, and he was able to get away from Miller right there and then. I also think that Miller was confused that Rafe had to serve a detention right there and then, so I think that made Miller angrier and frustrated that he couldn't fight Rafe.

Also Mr. Today (like a prinsipal of Artime') thinks that Alex is very good at hard spells and bringing objects to life is a very hard spell.]]> 2018-02-01 00:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226854841 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226854950 In my book, Rules Catherine is a little bit tortured by her brother David because she's always embarrassed by David because of his autism. He makes weird noises in public. I thought of Catherine as a loving girl and doesn't care about what other people think of David but, she's getting embarrassed of David and doesn't want him around. Also, Catherine spent years teaching David the rules of a peach but know she turned upside down and is getting very annoyed at David and Doesn't want him around. In my opinion I thought of her as a charming, loyal, loving girl but, that changed. ]]> 2018-02-01 00:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226854950 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226862906 This is the most exciting thing that has happened in my book (All The Answers) yet! All the time Ava's grandpa has never said a word to anyone EVER. I thought he was a very quiet person who would never talk .Sophie, Ava's best friend and Ava used they're magic pencil to make everyone in the senior center happy by asking the pencil what they wanted. They asked the pencil what Ava's grandpa wanted it said to see Johnny Hodges preform in a concert. They learned that he was dead so Ava is going to preform a Johnny Hodges song. Ava finishes the song and Ava's grandpa actually claps and says "Bravo!" I know he was happy because on page 118 he says that. This changed my whole view about how I think of Ava's grandpa. Now he will talk!

This is a really important part of my book and I made a prediction that I hope isn’t true. I hope I’m wrong and everything will be all right. But it won’t. Eric’s tutor, Professor Zuzubin, worked with Eric and his best friend discovering new things and using science for good purpose. But now, Eric is running a great experiment to see how the Big Bang all started. But an agency called TOERAG doesn’t want them to and are trying to stop them. AND I THINK ZUZBIN DECIDED TO JOIN TOERAG! At this moment in my book, Eric is starting to realize this. I know this because on page186 the text says, ‘Something was very wrong here. The meeting had been arranged too quickly and on too flimsy an excuse. Zuzubin, who’d seemed to be in charge, had suddenly vanished.’]]> 2018-02-01 01:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226870339 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226873053 I can't believe my eyes. Before me on the page it shows Gandalph the WHITE! I desperately knew inside my heart that Gandalph was truley alive, and now he is much more powerful, and is ready to defeat Saruman! But I knew that the others; Legolas Gimli and Aragorn would find it a huge surprise. ]]> 2018-02-01 02:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226873053 https://padlet.com/aschuster/writelong2/wish/226873472 Carter is teaching Magic Problem Solving 101, which the trainees call Whatever Works. Today he has four students. Walt, Julian, Felix, and Alyssa. He has set up four shabti[clay figurines]warriors and all the trainees have to defeat them in order to pass the class. Everybody is able to defeat them, but then a three headed serpent appears! It tells Carter to give it the scroll, which is part of the Book of Ra, and he refuses. They all start to fight the three headed serpent. I personally think Aphophis, the Lord of Chaos, should have sent more forces if he was trying to attack them, but I get the feeling he wasn't. I predict that they will be able to defeat the three headed serpent because Carter and the trainees are all very skilled and they should be able to defeat it.
