Underground Cities!

Underground cities are often written about in books. Two books that I enjoyed are Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins and City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau. In Gregor, the city underground is very modern, shiny and new. In the City of Ember it's old – fashioned, worn out and scary. If I were to write a book, my underground city would be fancy and similar to Gregor the Overlander.

Gregor the Overlander is a great book. He and his sister, Boots, fall in a hole in their laundry room. Cockroaches guide them to a underground city. The city looks like a big city with lots of people who are pale as snow and have purple eyes. These people have lived underground for as long as they can remember. They can only see with torches. The buildings are as tall as thirty feet in the air and they are completely engulfed by darkness.

City of Ember is a good book. The city underground is falling apart. The lights are burning out. Two kids try to find a way out using a map the builders gave them. The city is made up of a lot of houses, next to each other, with people running from one place to the next. So there are a lot of people crowed together. They are surrounded by darkness. They can only see from a few light bulbs, which are growing dim.

If I had a city underground it would be like a regular city: tall buildings, houses, jobs and people. There would be a way out in two hundred years time. No more, no less, either! My city would be called the Glass City because the tallest building is made of glass. It is surrounded by darkness. They would use light bulbs and candles to see. There would be a president there to help everything stay stable.

As you can see, the places in City of Ember and Gregor the Overlander are completely different. My own city would be kind of different. Underground cities are scary, cool and very fun to read about. If you are interested, you should read these books.

My favorite books

I have a couple of favorite books. They are Warriors by Erin Hunter and Dragon Keeper by Carole Wilkinson. I'll tell you about them and how they are good.

Warriors by Erin Hunter is an amazing book, if you like cats. It's an awesome book, because it's about cats that can talk like humans to each other. When you read the book it feels like you are in the adventure with them. The main story is about a cat named Rusty who one day went in the woods and met three other cats who live in the wild. He went with them and became one of them. He receives a new wild warrior name and has many interesting experiences.

Another book that I like is called Dragon Keeper by Carole Wilkinson. It's an awesome book, if you like mythological dragons and Chinese cultures. It's about a girl who is an orphan and one day she was feeding the emperor's dragons and one of them died. It's interesting, because of the plot. It makes you want cheer on the girl and the dragon to win the battle.

Warriors is great, because I like cats and it makes me feel like I'm there. Dragon Keeper is amazing, because I love dragons. I'd like to be a keeper myself one day. Those are two of my favorite books.

Hot Dog Recipe

There's one recipe I like and it's called 'Hot Dog Roll'. I like it, because it's really amazing. When the dough and the hot dogs are done cooking it just tastes delicious. Before you can make it you'll need:

Pack of hot dogs (1)

Pillsbury crescent rolls (1)

You just need to read and follow the instructions on the crescent rolls, but don't cook them apart from the hot dogs. You use the crescent rolls and wrap them around the hot dogs. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Then it'll take about 17 to 20 minutes to cook. Enjoy the food!

What I like to watch on Youtube!

I like to watch anime on YouTube. Here are three I like to watch the most. First “Ghost Hound”, click here if you want to watch, http://youtu.be/pRk2xOzaris. “Ghost Hound” is about 3 high school boys in a small town who can travel though the spirit world or unseen world. They all had bad things happen in their lives and now they can have out of body experience. They shouldn't be able to do that! Here is a picture of them:

Another anime that I enjoy watching is called “Dazzle”, http://youtu.be/ZS8r71BXKHc . It's about a girl named Razhel who gets kicked out of her home by her father who told her to explore the world. So her adventure begins when she meets a young boy who is seeking revenge for his father's death. They travel from town to town helping the people that need assistance. Here is a picture of them:

The last anime that is my favorite is called “Mew Mew Power,”

http://youtu.be/gSHa7saWgqw It's about a girl named Zoe who goes on a date with a guy she likes, named Mark. One day, out of nowhere, 2 guys appear that say she has animal instincts in her blood. Her DNA is mixed with wildcat blood. It's a 'Mew Project' to help save the world from alien creatures. Zoe must find four other chosen girls while saving the world. Here is Zoe in the pink outfit and the other girls:

How I Help the Environment

This is an essay I wrote because my mom told me to do it!

I do three things to help nature. First, I recycle used paper, water bottles and empty cans. This helps because they can be reused in stores after processing and we don't have to throw everything into the landfills. Second, when I moved and unpacked all the boxes, my mom put them on the internet for people to pick up and reuse. This is helpful, because if you just recycle it, it becomes a box again in the factory, which is a waste of time and energy. Last, I sometimes help my mom put flowers in our yard to make it look beautiful. This helps nature by planting things to make the environment healthy, beautiful and strong. That's what I do to help the environment.

Recycling cans, papers and water bottles is very useful. When I recycle papers, cans and water bottles, the materials in them can be reused, instead of sitting in landfills, taking forever to decompose. Cans take up to 200-500 years to break down, but if recycled they can be reused within 6 weeks. Paper would take 1 month and water bottles would take 1 million years. That's why you should recycle those things.

Reused boxes is another good thing too. You shouldn't recycle boxes but reuse them. After moving, our boxes my mom put them on the internet for people to pick up and reuse. This helps because if recycled, it just becomes a box again, which is a waste of energy. So you should reuse boxes not recycle, unless they are completely broken down.

I also help my mom plant flowers in our yard, which is another way to help with nature. Planting helps nature to become healthy, beautiful and strong all at once. When you plant flowers and trees it gives you life, because plants let out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide.

These are the few things I do to help the environment – reusing, recycling and planting. You should help the earth too. Pick one thing to do for the environment, and then go do it!
