This blog is going to be about my comic that I wrote about in Language Arts class. The name of my comic comes from the wisdom tale This Too Shall Pass that is from the Jewish Tradition. The book is about how King Solomon sets his loyal knight on an adventure to find something that make sad people happy and happy people sad. The knight found a person with a ring that said “This Too Shall pass” on it. The knight took the ring back to the king which was happy, then when the king saw the ring he immediately turned sad. The king was surprised on how loyal the knight was.
Most of us know that Thanksgiving is a holiday in the U.S where people feast on turkey and other foods. It all started when the Pilgrims sailed over to “The New World” ( Modern day U.S) and Met the Native Americans. The native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn and wheat and other vegetables. Then to celebrate the Pilgrim’s first harvest, the shot off gun shots. The Native Americans thought they were fighting other people. But in fact they were just celebrating their first harvest. And the Pilgrims let the Native Americans stay over for supper.

Valentine’s Day is an International holiday Celebrated around the world. It’s known for all of the valentines that are given out to your classmates girls etc. The holiday takes place on the 14th of February.
Made by me
Alright, time to give you a bit of knowledge about the holiday. Valentine’s Day was started in the 5th century but wasn’t celebrated as a day of love until the 14th century. But the truth is that we really don’t know when Valentine’s Day actually became a thing these are just guesses.
I’m kind of sad because I didn’t get asked out by my crush. 😭 Maybe next year.
I hope you enjoyed reading this blog! Maybe read some of my other blogs by scrolling down? You don’t have to just asking you to.
We are learning some really cool things about space in science. First we learned about Newton’s laws of motion. The first law is that an object in motion will stay in motion, objects at rest should stay at rest unless an unbalanced force is acted upon that object. The second law is F=ma, which means that the net force is equal to mass times acceleration. A larger net force acting on an object causes a larger acceleration, and object with a larger mass need more force to accelerate. The third law is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, of object A acts a force upon object B, then object B will exert an opposite yet equal force upon object A.

Then we took a deeper dive into gravity by learning Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. When space is empty, space is flat. But when you put a massive rock into space there is a gravity well which is a hole in space and the more mass that an object has, the deeper the gravity well.

Then we learned about black holes. Black holes are basically mass that is squished and it gets really hot and eventually it gets so hot and so small that it becomes a black hole and not even light can escape black holes.

Then we learned about how big the solar system is by making a scale replica of the solar system by having the sun be a soccer ball. This was 1 meter = 3.97million miles. And I was not expecting to walk very far. 35 minutes later we finally placed Neptune and had to run back and pick up all of our planets that we placed. Turns out I measured it on Google Earth and we walked 0.68km (0.41 miles) to put that into context the sun was the size of a soccer ball (football for all of the other countries’ people reading this. Americans are weird).

Thanks for reading this blog I hope you learned something new.
Halloween is a holiday where you dress up in a costume, scare people, and most importantly get lots of candy. My friends get a lot of candy but I always get the most. If you were wondering, my favorite candy is sour patch and my costume was a rook from chess.
My teachers rook chess piece ♟️👆
My candy bag 👆it weighs 5lbs.
Some history on Halloween in the United States: When the Irish and Scottish Immigrated to America in the 19th century, Halloween started to populate the U.S.
I’m really bad at chess. But i sorta know openings. Middle games. But I’m REALLY REALLY GOOD at losing endgames. So grab your chess board and memorize some openings.
First opening and my favorite with white. LONDON SYSTEM!!!
Now let’s look at how to play the middle game. And I totally didn’t hang my queen. You can hate on me in the comments if you want. If you don’t know when the middle game is its when most if not all your pieces are developed. The difference between the middle game and end game is how many pieces are on the board. The middle game is when most of the pieces are on the board, the endgame is when only some of the pieces are on the board.
Quick lesson, don’t remove in the endgame unless you’re low on time, (blundered my queen again.) But anyway that’s how to play the endgame, just DON’T BLUNDER YOUR QUEEN!!
In very late August my grade went to a camp that is call Camp Kirkwood. Camp Kirkwood is a camp in Watha, NC. We went from August 30th to September 1st. During that time we went through tropical storm Idalia. It got really windy and rainy. The night that we got there it was already flooding. I had a cabin near the pond and we almost got underwater. That was scary.
Here are some pictures of the camp, and us having so much fun.

This is a book called Finding Someplace, by Denise Lewis Patrick. This book is about a girl who lives in New Orleans, and she gets stuck in her elderly neighbor’s house during the storm Hurricane Katrina. She has some friends who abandon her and go to Texas.
If you had only a backpack to get things around your room before you leave your house before a hurricane, what would you grab? Let me know in the comments. What I would grab is my stuffed animal that I had before I was born, my iPad, PS5, and switch because I need internment, Money because why not, cards because poker and other games, my trumpet because its fun to play, my RC plane because I like to fly them around, gaming headset because it will block out sound and make it easier to concentrate on the game that I’m playing, my nerf guns to annoy my sister and finally some cloths that my grandma gave me.
This is my essay about why Dré, from Finding Someplace is a hero.
