Last night I finished Warriors Dark River. I read that Windclan went to Riverclan to get there missing kits back. (Or so they thought) Then Lionpaw, Hollypaw and Jayoaw go searching for the kits because they know that Riverclan didn't take them. Then they go to Fallen leaves's tunnels and meet Breezepaw and Heatherpaw and Jaypaw's spirt friend Fallen leaves. Then they find the kits, get out, stop the war and then live happily ever after. Most books like this one goes like this.. There is a normal story then a big part where things get messy and then the main characters fix it then the story ends.

Last night I read the House of Hades. I am on page 493. I read that Percy and Annabeth found the doors of death but they are guarded by thousands of monsters Annabeth and Tartarus got rid of their disguise and that's where I left of...

Minli asked "Don't you think it's mysterious that you only see her once in a while? And you never visit her, only she visits you? And that she knows things like where the king might be tomorrow? Who is she really?" He responded "She's my friend, that's who she is to me and that's enough for me." I think that he means she is his friend and that's all he needs to know.

My first figurative language is a simile on page 28: "The female voice was high and soft, like the wind whistling through the reeds of the water." And my second is on page 32 which is a simile: "Fruitless Mountain stood like a shadow," which is actually personification too.

My first one is a simile: his black eyes sparkled like raindrops in the sun. I picked that one because I could imagine his eyes glitter and shine. My second one is a simile too: a black mountain that cut into the the sky like a jagged piece of rough metal. I choose that one because I imagined a endless dark and deadly mountain.

Last night I read A Wind In The Door a sequal to A Wrinkle In Time. I just read that a man showed up in the Murry's garden and said to Charles Wallace, Meg and Calvin that he was there teacher. Some ingesting word choice I found are Polarizabilities and Hyperpolarizabilities and also that there is a cheiribum but it is not the normal kind of cheiribum it looked like a group of dragons!

Last night I read part of Firestars Quest. I read that Firestar and Sandstorm met a cat named Moony and are now trying to talk to him and see if he is a warrior from SkyClan. Some intresting word choice is how the authors use mewoed instead of said. I really recommend this book for people who are not big cat lovers. It is a great book!

Mrs. D. It sort of connects because at the end of Harry Potter he has to things on his own.Last night I read the second series of Warriors! But it is with a different character Brambleclaw, He is going to go on a adventure to the "place where the sun drowns"(the ocean) with one warrior of each clan. Feathertail, Gorsepaw, Tawnypelt and Stormpaw (Feathertails brother) and also Squirrelpaw if he follows (Firestars son also a VERY! Curious cat) Brambleclaw is very scared I would be to! :)

During brake I finished the second series of Warriors. After that I started the Percy Jackson series I was on the third book . Then I started the third series of Warriors. In the second series of Warriors the clans have to move to a new home, and I am pretty sure some people in the world had to move to a new home awhile ago.

Last night I finished Warriors Long Shadows. In the book I am reading now I read that somebody killed Ashfur and they suspect it was Sol that killed him. So they are now on the way to the sun-drown place where he lives, to find him. My connection is that in the world now, there are people having to go on long journeys knowing that they might not come back.

Last night I read the House of Hades. Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus and they are trying to close the doors of death. I read that a goddess named Akhlys tricked them into becoming death mist, (long story) which is a stage before death. This book conects with the other Percy Jackson books because they all have a extreme part in the middle of the books.

To add "like" fractions you only add the numerator. To add "related" fractions you will have to multiply or divide one of them to get the same denominator then add then to get the answer.

In math, I think that the the three skills relating are: equivalent fractions, fractions in their simplest form and ordering fractions. An example for equivalent fractions: three sixths are equal to one half. An example for fractions in the simplest form: three sixths in its simplest form is one half. An example for ordering fractions: three sixths, one sixths and five sixths in increasing order is one sixths, three sixths then five sixths.
