The Chipmunk
Recently we found a chipmunk. It had its head turned on an angle, it was injured. We found it laying ( looking dead ) near Sophie ( our dog ) and she was barking at it. After a while the chipmunk got up and started looking around, digging up nuts that were buried. He ate the nuts and kept looking. But he did not run away from us , he was injured. If we left him out in the wild he would have died, so we put him in a cage with almonds to keep him until he got healed. Recently he escaped ( he was practically healed ) and now he is gone. We do not know how he got injured or how he escaped , but I think he might have fell from a tree and injured himself, or he was scared to death of Sophie, we will never know.


My Summary of chapter 4 Dr. Art's guide to Science
This Chapter is about energy. Energy makes matter change and move around. Matter is the stuff in the world, anything that takes up space. Electricity, Light , motion and heat are all forms of Energy. Energy changes form a lot.

 Benjamin Thompson was a scientist and count. He was born in Massachusetts in 1753. He invented many things including efficient fire places. He did an experiment that proved friction could turn into heat energy.

The Laws of the Conservation of Energy state that energy can not be created or destroyed. The Atomic theory of matter says that atoms and molecules vibrate and move around. They move around more in gases and liquids then solids. Heat = the energy of motion. So when molecules move around fast it creates heat. Physical change is when things melt, evaporate,condense and freeze. It is when matter changes states, from solids( in solids the molecules vibrate but do not really move around) to liquid( in liquid the molecules move around more  ) to gas ( and in gas the molecules move around the most ).

In Physical changes the matter keeps the same atoms and molecules. In chemical change though the molecules change. The matter becomes something totally different. Fire is an example of chemical change. In fire the starting molecules ( Oxygen and wood  ), have more Chemical energy than the products ( carbon dioxide and water ) .So in order to stay true to the laws of conservation, another product is heat and light energy ( fire ).Chemical change does not create energy, it conserves it.

 1 water molecule is not wetter then one rock molecule, because you need many molecules together in a system to feel wetness. We are systems of molecules that experience other systems of molecules.

My Summary of chapter 5 Dr. Art's guide to Science
This chapter is about  Forces. When Matter changes its energy then a force is being acted on it.

 Galileo measured gravity ( the force that attracts things. When a apple falls to earth, gravity is acting , attracting the apple to the earth and the earth to the apple. Since the earth is way bigger than the apple you cant really see the earth being moved towards the apple because it is so small a force. )

 Issac newton discovered gravity, he also invented Calculus, so he could measure the strength of gravity exactly. Newton made the Newton's laws of Gravitation Attraction and Newton's laws of motion. They say that the farther apart the objects are and smaller the mass ( mass is how much matter there is in something ) of the objects - the weaker the force of gravity. But the closer together the objects are and the more Mass that have -the stronger the force of Gravity. Gravity applies everywhere in the universe. It is the force that makes the moon orbit the earth and the earth orbit the sun.


There is a/are force/forces stronger than Gravity. The 2 separate forces are electricity ( electricity is the flow and charge of electrons . One form of electricity is static electricity. Static electricity is stronger than gravity. One way to show this is when you rub a balloon on fur and then pick up paper. Gravity is acting on the paper , but it can not keep it on the ground. Why this happened: When we rub the balloon on the fur it rubs of some electrons on the fur. The electrons come on the balloon and make it negatively charged. The paper is neutral ( has same number of protons as electrons ) so when we bring a negatively charged balloon by it the electrons near the surface move away from their alike counterparts. This makes the surface of the paper Positive. Since unlike attract the positively charged surface of the paper goes towards the negatively charged balloon.) and Magnetism ( Magnetism is a force field around a Magnet that attracts metal like Iron.  Magnets have a North and south pole. ). Together they are called Electromagnetism ( Electromagnetism ). Magnetism and electricity are closely related to each other and are parts of Electromagnetism.

Early medieval Japan , Korea and Australia 

Around the 500's Japan was divided into many different clans. One of these Clans , the Yamato Clan, was stronger than the others. The Yamato clan wanted to conquer the other clans and rule Japan. And after many many long years of fighting , but the did conquer Japan. It was hard keeping control of so many clans , so the Yamato emperors said they were descended  from ( this Is not true. It is just Japanese mythology ) the sun goddess, Amaterasu.  This helped the Yamato leaders ( the Yamato dynasty had to parts : the Kofun period and the Asuka period  ), but they also borrowed ideas (for good ruling ) from China and Korea. Way back in med-late ancient times, the Chinese had invaded Korea and conquered some of it. Later the Koreans took most of their land back.  Korea got divided into 3 parts  : Paekche, Silla and Goguryeo. The Koreans use Chinese ways a lot after they got free. Paekche wanted to take the other two kingdoms , so they asked Japan to form a pact with them( that says: if you go to war we will help you. If we go to war you will help us) .  When the Japanese saw the gifts that came with the letter they were amazed by one: a book in Chinese. The Japanese asked the Koreans to teach them Chinese, and the Koreans did. The Koreans taught them many of their ways. The Koreans were influenced by the Chinese , and the Japanese were influenced by the Koreans. So it is safe to say that Korea and Japan were influenced by China. During the Tang Dynasty ( of china. The Tang Dynasty was a golden age of china. Before China was divided in to parts (North China and south China). Yang Chien was a general in the northern Army. He attacked south china and became Emperor of united china in 581. Yang Chien founded the Sui dynasty of China. The Yangtze River had divided earlier china. It Also threatened to divide china Again. So the Next Sui emperor , Yangdi  , ordered a grand man made canal connecting south and north. It connected south and north china but it made people poor and mad at the emperor. They had paid extra taxes for it, and had spent a lot of time digging it. The Chinese revolted and ended the Sui dynasty. The next dynasty was the Tang. During the Tang Dynasty printing and gunpowder were invented) the Chinese invaded Korea and conquered Paekche. After much fighting the rest of the Koreans drove China out. Japan did not want to be attacked at all. Even though the Japanese copied the  Chinese a lot, they still thought themselves as equals to China. So 400 years later the Japanese stopped copying the Chinese.  In Australia the people were nomads. There was no king or emperor like in Japan and china. Instead they walked around moving where there was food and water, never settling , picking berries, fishing and hunting animals. These people were like the very first people they still did not know how to farm!  These people were called the Aborigines.  

The Ocean a poem

Oh the ocean
the ocean
the beautiful blue shiny ocean
the ocean
Oh the ocean
on the ocean
the wind in your face the salty air in your nose
walking on soft squishy sand and the waves lapping at your feet
but the all of a a sudden down your dog goes
in a crack between the rocks, but before the water would her meet
two men came and pulled her out
she ran back home
away from the spout
there afar you see a boat of foam
and it sails to you
full of pirates and vikings of old
they attack put you throw some goo
and they get stuck in there, wishing for gold
you walk back towards your car
enjoying the sun and the seagulls from afar
you get back to your car and drive to your house
on your way you almost hit a mouse
the ocean
Oh the ocean
the beautiful blue shiny ocean

southern wars ( story )

Prologue


On a mountain near Naryan-Mar Russia , There was the president of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. He was freezing up on that mountain. He had come here to talk to the Russian Genaral. But the General was not here yet. He was suspicious of these Russians. He had brought his personal body guard with him. It had 100 men in it 17 of them were his strongest fastest and most skilled soldiers. The sound of a avalanche below him jerked him from his thoughts. He was in an outpost that had a fire and hearth in it. Suddenly the sound of a helicopter was whirring around. Susilo looked out the window .Ten helicopters came and landed next to Susilo's. Out of them stepped the Russian general Alexander .V Bobrovsky and his bodyguards .One of them was holding a Lacrosse stick.  Alexander Bobrovsky walked toward Susilo. " do you and your men care to play a lacrosse game with us ? " Asked Bobrovsky." we accept your offer " replied Susilo even though he did not know how to play( but he did not want to embarrass his nation) . So they started to play lacrosse. But one of the Russians threw the ball hard and fast at the inexperienced Susilo and it knocked him out almost breaking his skull. Immediately the Russians and Indonesians ran for their guns. But before anyone got to them , Bobrovsky Spoke "we have bombers over your presidents head " The Indonesians froze and the Russians grabbed their guns. Then they took the Indonesians captive.   



Chapter 1 a Boy
On the island of Jakarta Indonesia a Boy was playing marbles.His name was Iden .When he got up he smelled dark chocolate. He never got any sweets, he barley got bread.When he walked toward the smell 
he saw that it was coming from a stand that said : MAGIC CHOCOLATE : in big red letters. Iden ran to the stand . " how much ? " Asked Iden. " 3 Rupiah for 1/2 a inch " Said the owner. Iden gave him the last of his money for that delicious chocolate. When he ate the piece he was overcome with the feeling of Delicious taste.He knew it was not magic but it tasted good when he went to sell his marbles the feeling of danger came from the northwest. He knew what lay northwest. 
                               Russia.
He immediately ran to the nearest police station. He told the police that the Russians would come and attack them. The police told him not to bother them. He had to stop the Russians. Iden set of for the coast. It took him three days to get there the magic helped him not starve . When he got to port he wished he was invisible. But the magic did not turn him invisible. He guessed it could only do certain things. When he tried to sneak past a guard to get on a ship the guard caught him and chucked him on the sand. " shoo ! " the guard yelled. Iden ran back to where people were walking towards the ship bound for Russia. When a man tripped and his bag fell open Iden climbed inside. It was a very tight fit. He shut the bag lid on him. When the man got up and started to carry the bag it became too heavy and he collapsed. He asked a guard to help him carry it to the ship. Finally Iden was on the ship. After the first 5 hours at sea Iden felt like he was going to die. He had a headache ,his stomach growled and his throat was dry . He wondered why the magic did not work. As he was to find out the magic had worn of. He needed food so he climbed out of the bag and searched through the other bags for food he found a thousand layered cake with spicy chili powder. He ate it . It was not enough to fill him but it helped keep him alive for some time. Then he checked for water he found in a canteen. He drank it dry. Iden then found and ate a stuffed tofu.When he was satisfied he took in his surroundings. He was in the ships belly. Where they kept the big bags. There was a staircase that led to a door that after he tried it was locked. He hoped no one would come down. He was tired so he went to sleep waiting to find what the next day would hold. When he woke up he heard a yell and then the boat stopped. Iden looked through the bags and found a stick. With the stick in his hand he rushed up the stairs to the locked door. He tried to open it. It was bolted. So Iden stood right next to the door which was the best place to hit some unsuspecting victim. Iden waited for 30 minutes all the while shouting and gunshots came from above. When everything was quiet Iden went down to get some food. He ate a stuffed tofu for breakfast and drank some water. When he finished eating he heard footsteps coming form above getting louder and louder. Iden ran to his post as the door was opened. Iden struck a bearded red head on the head. The red- head went down. A young blond man came in after him and grabbed Iden neck before Iden could do anything. 12 more men came in all armed. The red head came round " who is that ? Japarov." Asked the Red head. The Blonde man named Japarov answered him " some stowaway Captain "." what should we do with him sir " asked one of the other men . A man with brown hair and a scruffy mustache . " feed him to the sharks , there is plenty of them here. " replied the captain. All this time the men were talking in Russian. Iden did not understand them but recognized the language. These were Russians and that meant danger. When they started to walk up to the deck Iden grew more and more scared. Then they tied him to a weight. Iden realized that he was to be thrown overboard. Iden struggled and was knocked out. But when the Russian had hit him a bit of dark chocolate that had got stuck came lose and went down Iden's throat.When he was thrown over board the magic made the sharks help him. The sharks kept his head above the surface and led him to Russia. The sharks gave him seaweed to eat and seawater to drink. If the magic had also made him not need food or water then the sharks would stop helping him mid-way. When the Sharks came to the coast guard they dived under the water. He made it to Vladivostock, Russia. It lay near China. When the magic wore off he was on the shore of Russia. Iden came round and was terribly hungry, cold and thirsty. He wondered where he was. When he went and asked someone where he was they said something in Russian. Iden decided he was in Russia. He pointed towards his mouth and he got some bread. Then he ate some snow. He had never seen this stuff but had heard of it. He was up north and it was winter. He found some rags in a bin and wrapped them around him. It was time to go to sleep. Iden found a dirty ,cold and smelly corner and went to sleep deciding he would go to Moscow later. When he woke up he was almost frozen . he broke through the grasp of the icy fingers and set of for Moscow. 2 months later he was in Barnaul Russia. It was about half-way between Pacific Russia and European Russia. He had eaten scraps and Snow on his way here. When he stepped into the city he heard people whispering about Indonesia in English ( Iden knew some English)." yes and what will the General do about it ? "  "I think he will surround Indonesia and order them to surrender or he will kill their king" Iden was terrified by this news but he had to know it for sure. " You ask him yourself he is in town " Iden ran around asking where the General was. He found out that he was at the town hall. Iden crept around to the town hall. 50 guards were around it and in the distance Iden saw an army. The Russian army. Iden threw a rock and it struck a guard on the head almost killing him. Then Iden ran for his life. The guards return fire was tremendous. It hit Iden in his hand. Iden had put his hand over his heart so it would be safer. Iden dived down to the ground the bullet in his hand felt like fire and claws. He lay there for a little. Then he had an Idea. Iden ran back and hid in the trees. After a while a messenger came by holding a note most likely for the general. Iden bounced on him. They struggled and Idens hand got worse and worse. Then Iden punched the Russian in the face with his good hand. Iden took the Messengers hat,letter,coat and boots. leaving the man without boots , coat, hat or letter. He just had a shirt and pants on. Iden ran on. He told the guards he had an urgent letter. The Guards let  him go. Iden ran in and Gave the letter to the General's secretary. Iden crouched back into the shadows, listening to them. ".. so it is agreed we will march on and send the tanks and aircraft in front of us. The Destroyers are ready" They spoke in Russian but by their tone Iden understood. He crept away and ran back to the woods. Then he decided he had to get to Indonesia. He walked to the nearest air port and covering himself in rags hid in some suitcase that was to go on the plane to Indonesia. Iden hid in that bag for 8 hours. It was terrible . He ate some food he found in the bag. When they finally landed Iden and the bag went down into the roller where the owner got the bag. Iden zipped the bag down and ran out when they got out of the airport. The owner screamed but Iden ran on. He needed to tell everyone that the President was hostage.  Iden ran to Jakarta. He was exhausted. When he got to Jakarta he went to the police office and told them that the President was hostage and that the Russians would attack them. Then he told the police to tell the General to get defenses ready. The police told him to run on and stop bothering them. Iden was terrified. The Russians were coming and no one believed him. Iden went to the street alleys and found the dark chocolate seller. Iden went to him and begged for some dark chocolate. The seller game him such a small piece you could barley see it. ( the smaller the piece the more magic) Iden ate it and wished that an army would appear. That drained all the magic. Suddenly a army of bed ragged, scruffy kids with guns and tanks. This was not what he had hoped for but the seller would not give him anymore. So Iden ordered the army to defend the islands of their country. There were 300,000 of them. It took the army 2 days to preparer and then the Russians came in.


Chapter 2 a Battle.
 The Russians came in from all sides. The Indonesian fleet was surprised and 40 of Indonesia's battleships were destroyed before Indonesia destroyed one of Russia's ships. The Russian's got to land in Borneo first. They were met by a half ready coast guard and army. The Russians poured bombs on them. Then they were met by the ready and trained ( they had trained before the Russians had got their.) army of peasant kids. The kids bought the real army time and fought off the Russians for a little . Meanwhile Iden was in Jakarta. He went to find the dark chocolate seller. When he went to the place where he usually was he was gone and in his place was another man selling white chocolate. Iden did not like this at all. He needed to help the defenses. He started of for Jakarta's edge. The Indonesian army was ready by the time the kid defense had fallen. Indonesia's army still could not stop the Russians. Iden realized the Indonesian army would fall without help. He told a policeman that was running too the coast to tell his captain to tell the colonel to tell the vice President to call the Indian government to send reinforcements. It happened as Iden had said. The Indians responded by sending 700 ships with 70 soldiers and 5 tanks on each one. The Indians would get their to late and if they made it public then China would declare war on India and Indonesia. Iden hoped they could stand the onslaught long enough. The Russians were getting weaker. They were not used to this climate and terrain. The defender almost always had the advantage. The Indonesians were losing numbers though as the bombs fell and the guns rang. The Russians had taken the east of Indonesia. But were beaten off in Borneo and Jakarta. Then the Indians came and pushing the Russians back singed a treaty say that Russia should not fight a war and that they hand over Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono the Russians killed him instead .Then Indonesia made Iden President. It was over. Iden rejoiced.

The Northern wars ( a story )

One day in a city in Montana ,there was a governor in a skyscraper. He was the governor of Montana . His name was Olsen. Olsen was from Sweden. He had become a citizen of the USA. In the sky scraper it smelled like peppermint. Olsen hated Peppermint. It was coming from some ruby slippers . He threw them away in a garbage truck that was passing by his window. Suddenly he heard someone shout his name in the Lobby. He ran down stairs. A red head was standing in the lobby holing a letter. He asked Olsen if he was the governor . Olsen said yes and the red head handed him the letter. Here is what it said:

 Komma Vid en gång det är en akut !

  Guståvüs

It was written in Swedish . Here is what it said in English 

Come at once it is a emergency !

Gustavus 

Olsen knew Guståvüs, he was a friend of his in Sweden . What could be happening ? He decided to find out . He asked the people of Montana to elect someone to replace him while he was gone. Then he packed his and left early in the morning . He arrived at Stockholm in the night. He rented a hotel and went to sleep. When day came he rented a Saab and went of in the direction of Guståvüs's house. When he arrived  Guståvüs's house was in ruins. It was as if a whale had been dropped on it . Olsen searched the grounds but could find nothing except a bloodstained rifle. He knew Guståvüs had kept an old rifle that belonged to his ancestor Gustavus Adolphus the Great . He was one of the Greatest kings of Sweden and many say he is the greatest .  Guståvüs was one of those . Olsen hoped Guståvüs was still alive . He got into his car and drove around asking people if they had seen him. The day was wearisome and uneventfull. The next day he found a letter in his mailbox . It said : Norrbotten .  Norrbotten ? It was the largest and most northern county of them all. How was he going to find Guståvüs in Norrbotten ? Well he should at least try. So he got in his car and drove to a gun store. He bought a sniper . With his gun he drove all the way to Norrbotten . It took him 10 hours. When he got their he stopped in Galligen hoping that Guståvüs was there. When he rented another hotel and got to his room he saw Guståvüs there!! " how did you get here ?!?!" Olsen asked. " I asked where a governor from Montana was and they said here " replied Guståvüs . He was a blond bearded man . He had a bleeding shoulder. " what is happening here ? Are you okay ? " asked Olsen. Guståvüs collapsed on the floor and told him to call the swedish ambulance . Olsen did and then he helped Guståvüs down to the lobby. They put him in the ambulance and Olsen waited to hear more . When Olsen visited the hospital he asked Guståvüs his question again. This time Guståvüs answered it. " I am getting better and the Russian maffia was trying to rigg the winter Olymips that were to take place in  Norrbotten . The Russians had wanted the winter Olympics in their country not Sweden. So they were trying to make it fail. But I  have some allies in the russian army and they were trying to stop them. I told the Swedish government and they are trying to help us. But if they announce it publicly then Russia will declare war on them. They can not afford this. So I need you to tell the US government to help us." Olsen pondered this. He went to a phone and called the US goverment. He was at once admitted to the President. They talked and talked until Olsen got him to send 100 soldiers to help on a top-secret mission. When Olsen arrived back at his hotel he saw his room was Ransacked. Some one had come here! He saw that his sniper was still there in a secret compartment. He grabbed his sniper and ran downstairs. When he got in his car he drove to the eastern coast of Sweden. He wanted to see if the coast was being guarded from Russians. It was heavily guarded. He asked a Coast guard if the Sky was being guarded . The Guard said it was. Olsen drove to Sweden's northern border with Norway and Finland. It was getting late and cold. When he got to the border he saw most of it was guarded. But one part was guarded by sleeping guards! Olsen ran to the border and woke them up just as a shot rang out BANG! The guards returned fire with Olsen. BANG! BANG! BANG! All the firing had brought Finnish and Norwegian guards to the site. Russians ran over the border in the dark and ran into Sweden. The Cold was unbearable. With the icy wind in his face Olsen Ran after the Russians trying to get Some Swedish guards to come with him . But the Swedish guards were talking to the Finnish and Norwegian guards. So Olsen ran on with his Sniper Firing into the darkness where he thought the Russians were. When he got to the place where his car had been it was gone. He ran on hoping to find some police. He was freezing in the cold and black night. Olsen thought he would freeze. He walked on and saw an outpost when he got to the door he Froze. When Olsen woke up he was in a wooden room with a fire and a hearth . He had Unfrozen and was now up. He gave the Outpost man some money and walked on Until he found a city . The city was called Kiruna. Olsen went to a police station and told them about the Russians . They sent some police to the border and getting in a police car ,went after them. They did not know where the Russians were. They asked around but no one had seen them. Olsen rented another car and went back to his hotel. He needed to find out how to make peace with the Russians . When the 100 Americans arrived Olsen decided he would combine 50 Swedish soldiers with the 100 Americans. 150 soldiers to search the 173,745 sq mi of Sweden. So he started in the North going South. 1 month and 29 days later They found the Russian base. It was in Strömsund. The middle of Sweden. Olsen asked the Swedish government to send more soldiers because the Americans were leaving on the morrow. Strömsund's police had been jailed and killed so no one had heard. A 7th of Sweden's army Surrounded the city. They sent a person to order the Russians to surrender. There was a shot followed by a scream. The Swedish soldiers brought in tanks The Stridsfordon 90 , the Stridsvagn 122 and others. The Tanks fired and the soldiers ran and shot. The Russians were holding. But then The Swedish Air-force came and bombed the city. The fighting went on and on . But in the end Sweden won. Guståvüs came and Congratulated the Swedish General on his victory. The Swedish had eliminated the Russians and the Olympics were played in Sweden.

A Made Up Legend And A Poem

The Guardians of The Misty Island
 One day long long ago a fodragobear ( a mix between a fox a dragon and a bear ) was walking along in its forest habitat when it saw a group of geese flying east.It asked the geese where they were heading. The geese honked back a reply " to the Misty island. " " wheres that ?" asked the fodragobear. " in Sweden. Some men who lived there give us food to stack up for the flight south in the fall." Honked the geese. " bye now HONK!!"and with that the geese flew away east ( they were in Scotland ). The Misty Island, Sweden sounded like a good place . So the fodragobear flew away east with his dragon wings . On his way to the misty island he saw many Scottish people . As he flew overhead the Scottish they yelled " A'ch the'r go's th' fod'agobea'Aye'!" When the fodragobear came across Loch Ness he hailed his friend, The Loch Ness monster or Nessie' fe'r short. " whe' yo' be ahe'din' ?" asked Nessie'. " ta Sweden !" replied the fodragobear. And with that he flew off to Sweden. When he got to Norway he knew he was almost there . He saw the vikings preparing to raid the English coast. When he at last made it to Sweden , he landed . When he found an elk he asked it where the misty island was. The elk said it was a bit farther north . The fodragobear flew there and found the Misty island. When he Landed close to the human village he saw the geese getting fed. 
But when the humans saw the fodragobear the ran back inside their huts to get armed. The fodragobear  
tried to tell them he just wanted food but the humans can't understand fodragobearian. Most of the humans charged him but one named Gustav Goldbeard jumped on the fodragobear back and flew off with him into the sun.

ends by the traces
of the moonlight. 

 

My two languages

I have been spending time writing in Bulgarian with my Mom. She was Born in Bulgarian and Speaks Bulgarian to my brother, sister and I. It is great to be fluent in two languages and understand different cultures and customs. My grandparents moved from Bulgaria 5 yrs ago and now live near us and I love to practice my Bulgarian with them. I even translate for them in the grocery store. They don't speak much English. My goal next is to keep getting better at writing Bulgarian and also to learn Spanish. My dad is fluent in Spanish and he is going to teach me. Here is a note I wrote in Bulgarian for the record.

The Time Quartet (Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters), Madeline L'Engle
Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites, Chris Heimerdinger (5 Books)

I love all these books because they make you use your imagination so much.


When I get into a series I read about 200-300 pages a day.

I wrote my own story, but am still working on editing it.
