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.
