Mount Eaton from across the valley.

I hope you all had a restful weekend, got all your learning activities completed and took some time away from screens. I went out into the mountains this weekend to get away from the city and to spend some time in nature. I saw many opportunities to use the digital photography composition techniques during my outing. Take a look at the photo to the left. What compositional technique did I used here?

I am currently reading Lord Of The Flies for the third time. This book is about a group of boys stranded on an island trying to survive, awaiting for help. I would recommend it because the plot is interesting and the language used is very powerful and different.

I'm currently reading To Kill A Mockingbird. It's takes place in a fictional town called Maycomb. It's about a girl who has an older brother and later met a boy and become friends. I would recommend it because it's pretty good and it's teach us a lot of life lessons.

I was just reading a book named Airborn, which is about a person who loves to fly, and one day his airship was attacked by pirates. (The time period is old) I recommend this book, because it is pretty fun, and interesting.

I am currently reading Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. (I also read some today) In this book, three men board and become the newest guests of the Nautilus, a submarine unusual and contemporary at the time of the book. I would recommend this book because it is a science fiction, and somewhat includes many facts and details of amazing animals and more. This is also a pretty suspenseful and thrilling book, so I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes adventure and mystery. :)

4/20/2020 11:55:55 am

Hi Emily, Wow, lots of you guys are reading classic books. There is definitely a lot of adventure in this one. Do you like it?

I read a book called "the american civil war. I stumbled upon it going through my book shelf. The american civil war book is about the American civil war. All about how it started. It started because the south eastern states didn't want to end slavery in there states but president Abraham Linkin disagreed. That's when the south eastern states declared independence from the united states. Then, The south eastern states were at war with America. It was pretty interesting and I recommend it. 4/5 stars.

A question I have about this book is, where did the south eastern states get there military from?

4/20/2020 08:16:14 pm

Hi Abdul, do you like history? The American Civil War is a really interesting time in US history.

The book I'm reading these days is called 'Who? BTS'. This is a book is a nonfiction book for BTS. There's lots of bts' information and facts in it. Also it includes BTS members' story before they debuted. I would like to recommend this book to ARMYs that just started liking BTS. Because they could know more information about BTS in shorter time. I'm not a ARMY that just started liking BTS, so it was a little boring reading all the things I already know. But I'm still happy to read it again.

4/20/2020 08:12:33 pm

Hi Seon, What is the best part of this book? What other K pop groups do you like?

Currently I am reading a book called the Who Made Me A Princess.

Our beautiful Athanasia was killed by her own father, Claude De Alger Obelia, the cold blooded emperor.
An ordinary girl was just reading a book her costumer had left behind. She thought the title was a bit too childish, but she read it anyways. Until later on she wakes up to suddenly find shes become the unfortunate princess! Athanasia needs a plan to survive her doomed fate, and time is running out! Will she choose...

Plan A: live as quietly as possible without being noticed by the infamous emperor?

Plan B: Collect enough money to escape the palace?

Plan C: Sweet - talking her way into her father's good grace?

Right now, I am reading the third and final book in "The Girl Who Could Fly" series. This one is called "The Girl Who Fell Out Of The Sky". Let's start with the basics, Piper, an 11 (age progresses throughout series) who has been given the ability to fly. In the first book, she learns things at a school called I.N.S.A.N.E to help learn how to control her ability to fly. In the second book, they venture into a land called Xanthia where Conrad tries to save his father who was captured by the dark one. In the third book, Piper finds out that she can't fly after injuring herself in an attempt to save her friend, Jasper. This book is definitely a page turner, I can barely put it down. It's a mix of heartwarming and surprising. I would definitely recommend it.1000000/10.

Here is more about the author:

Victoria Forester is a Canadian Author and a New York Times Bestselling Author! She is 46 years old and has a daughter, husband and a cat. She was born and raised in Ontario, Canada but now lives in Los Angeles, United States. She has always had a passion for storytelling.

The Girl Who Could Fly is for (almost) all ages (9+). This is one of my favourite books and I am super excited to figure out how Victoria Forester concludes this amazing series.

Right now I am reading How to keep rolling after a fall. I read some of it today.

I just started this book. Bu this is the summary of it so far. The main character Nikki, had a huge party at her house which wasn't supposed to happen and many things went wrong. Pictures were posted, she got expelled from her school, she has been accused for cyber bullying, and everyone hates her. Well that is everyone except for Pax. She meets Pax this guy in a wheelchair who knows what it feels like when your chances are gone and he believes that everyone deserves a second chance. Pax was in a car accident and now will be in a wheelchair forever so he understands what Nikki feels. He helps her get through things and they become good friends. She has also been going to this therapy thing with her old friends who posted the pictures that they took. Now Nikki is at Pax's house for a movie night and she is telling Pax the whole story of what happened at the party so he can help her.

I would recommend this book. But it wouldn't be the first book I recommend to someone. I think overall it's a pretty good book and once I get to the climax it will get better.

I'm reading a book called fifty facts about space.

The book is exactly as the title suggests however although I have already read many space books some of the facts are extremely interesting as it talks about some of the more complex mysteries of space like, black holes, neutron stars, and gamma rays. It even goes down to a small level to explain atoms and the process of the suns life.

I recommend this book to anyone who is a big space fan like me.
