Watch the film above, then read my essay and see if you agree!

In the animated short the main character is a sandpiper, but did you know that scientist estimate that there are only about 240-456 mature sandpipers still alive? In the very beginning of the animated short Piper wanted to be fed by her mom, but then learned that she has to start finding her own food. This surprised her. She found her very first clam, but right after that a large wave came and it washed over Piper. After that,Piper was terrified of the water. She did not want to leave the nest, but she was VERY hungry. Piper’s hunger took over her fear and she attempted to find another clam. Piper met a hermit and the hermit showed her that if she looked under the water, she could see the clams. The hermit really helped Piper. Soon she was finding enough food for her, her friends and her family. This is why I think that in the animated short Piper, the theme was, when you are curious you can discover new things. 

 

In the beginning of the animated short Piper, the theme was, when you are curious you can discover new things. The first place that the theme showed was when piper was curious about the bubbles in the water. Piper  ran around popping as many as she could. Also, this theme showed when Piper watched her mom get food. To add on, while Piper was watching her mom get food, she discovered that there are clams under the bubbles on the shore. Piper put lots of effort into trying to find her first clam. Without Piper’s curiosity she would not have found her first clam that day all by herself. 

 

In the middle of the animated short Piper, the theme was, when you are curious you can discover new things. In addition, I think that this theme showed when Piper and a hermit crossed paths. Piper and the hermit both have probably never met another of the others species, so they are both  very curious of one another.  Also, this theme is proved when Piper follows the hermit into the water and the hermit teaches Piper how you can see the clams under the water. 

In the end of the animated short Piper, the theme is, when you are curious you can discover new things.  I think that this theme really stood out when piper got curious about the clams after seeing them underwater and tried to dig one up. In addition, this theme was proven when Pipers curiosity helped her find some huge clams. The theme was also seen from the other sandpipers because they were curious about what Piper was doing. They were very curious of Piper actions. Since they were curious of Piper, when Piper got her first clam those curious sandpipers got the extra clams that Piper found.

 

The theme in the short film Piper is if you have lots of wonderings and you want to learn new things, you will be able to discover new opportunities that others that are not curious do not. This is proved when Pipers curiosity helped her find her first clam, when Piper was curious of the hermit and the hermit helped Piper find huge clams and when the other sandpipers were curious of piper and got the first batch of extra clams. I think that it is important to have curiosity and to have an urge to discover new things like some of the characters in the short film Piper because you will have more opportunities. Being curious can lead to achievements that can not be made without curiosity.

 

Is there something new that you are curious about or something new you want to try?

Watch the short film below called Kitbull, then read my essay and see is you agree.

Did you know that dogs and cats can learn to understand each other even though they mean different things when they wag their tails? This may explain how the character kitty could understand pitbull in the short film. In the animated film kitbull, the kitty is first scared of the pitbull, although she is also worried for him because pitbull was being treated very badly.  Then kitty and pitbull play with each other. After that, they slightly warm up to each other. Finally, Kitty and pitbull befriend each other and escape after pitbull was being treated so poorly. A little while later, pitbull and kitty get rescued by a loving family. In the animated short film Kitbull, the kitty is passionate.

 

In the beginning of the short film kitbull, the character kitty is  passionate. First, Kitty is passionate when the pitbull is dragged into the same area that kitty is staying in as a stray. Kitty is a little bit worried about the pitbull. Pitbull continues to be treated terribly from his owner. Also, kitty showed passion when her and pitbull were playing with the bottle cap. I think that kitty was passionate because she kept playing with pitbull. Kitty could have either hid or just kept the bottle cap to herself and not played with pitbull, so I think that this shows that kitty is passionate for pitbull and cares for him.

 

In the middle of the short film Kitbull, the kitty is still passionate. First, kitty is passionate for the pitbull because she was really worried about the pitbull when he got hurt and then thrown out into the thunderstorm. Pitbull had gotten cut, bruised and hurt by his owner then thrown out into a storm where all he had was a small worn down doghouse. Later on, Kitty was passionate  when pitbull released her from the plastic. Kitty was passionate for pitbull because she was grateful that pitbull released her.

 

In the end of the short film  Kitbull,the character kitty is still a very passionate cat. Kitty is passionate for pitbull when they escape together. This shows kitty’s passion because kitty could have just jumped over the fence and run away leaving pitbull, but instead of doing that she helped pitbull to escape when he was having a hard time. In the end, kitty and pitbull were rescued by a loving family. Kitty and pitbull were cautious at first, but then learned to trust there new family.Kitty was very passionate for her new family, but was especially passionate for pitbull, for staying with her the whole time. Especially when her and pitbull did not have a home and were having a hard time.

Kitty understands pitbull deeply and is willing to overcome her fears for others that she cares about.  The character Kitty is passionate about pitbull when they play with the bottle cap, when pitbull helps kitty escape from the plastic and when kitty overcomes her fears and helps pitbull escape on her own will. I think that kitty understands what pitbull has been through, for she has been through some similar situations. It is important to be passionate and kind to others because that could make somebody else’s day like it did in the film when kitty played with and shared the bottle cap with pitbull.

Is there someone or something you are passionate about? Tell me about it!

 

Did you know that softball was invented in 1887? In this post, you will learn all about the history of softball.

 

How did softball first get started?

The invention of softball dates back to thanksgiving of 1887 in chicago. It was thanksgiving in 1887 when the Farragut boat club were anxiously waiting for the outcome of the Yale vs Harvard football game. When Yale was announced the winner, a Yale fan playfully threw a boxing glove at a Harvard fan. The harvard fan swung at the glove using the broomstick they were holding. Then the rest of the football fans peered over in interest. After that, somebody shouted “ Play ball!” That moment was when softball was first invented.

 

Was the game always called softball?

No, at first everybody sort of just called it what they wanted to call it. It went by names like “Indoor baseball”, “Kitten baseball”, “Diamond ball”, “Mush ball” or even “Pumpkin ball”! This new game did not get the name softball until 1926, by a guy named Walter Hakanson while representing the YMCA at a national Recreational congress meeting. By 1930, the new name“softball” had stuck.

 

How did softball change from using a boxing glove and broomstick to modern day softball?

After that thanksgiving in 1887, the farragut boat club kept playing this new game they just invented that would later be called softball. Soon, they invented rules to the game and started using a large, soft, ball to play this new game instead of a boxing glove. At first it was only played inside. After a short while, the game leaked out to the rest of chicago, and eventually to the rest of the midwest chicago. The game traveled fast and soon baseball players were playing the game to keep up there skills during the winter. A few years after Walter Hakanson named this new game softball, the name stuck. A few years after that, in 1934, the joint rules committee on softball made some official rules. Until this point, softball had been played with different rules, base lengths and ball sizes.

 

What was the ball like?

As you now know, at first the ball was a boxing glove. Over time people started using a ball instead of a boxing glove. In Chicago, where softball was invented, they used a 16 inch ball. This was because they felt that if they used a bigger ball  the game could be played in smaller spaces because people can not hit a 16 inch ball very far. However, a man named Lewis Rober, who hosted softball games for firefighters in minneapolis, used a 12 inch ball. Soon Rober’s 12 inch ball became the preference and now a majority of softball is played using a 10, 11 or 12 inch ball. Still, many people from chicago think that a 16 inch ball is what should be used to play softball. Games that include using a 16 inch ball are often called, “Cabbage ball”, “Super slow pitch” or “Mush ball” and unlike competitive softball with a 11 or 12 inch ball, this version of softball is played without gloves for the fielders.

 

Did this sport become more popular after that?

Yes, it did. Even though at first softball was meant for baseball players that wanted to keep up there talent, softball kept becoming more and more popular and soon became a official sport. In 1991 it was decided that there would be a women’s fastpitch softball league in the 1996 olympics! Many people considered this to be the ultimate success of a sport. Even though softball did not make it into the 2012 olympics, softball will be back in the 2020 olympics this year! Softball is a very popular participant sport in the United States. An estimated 40 million americans engage in at least one softball game every year. Also, 113 countries have joined the International softball federation since its creation in 1952.

 

What are some of the basic rules of how it is played now?

There are 9 people on the field at once. The positions are pitcher, catcher, 1st base, 2nd base, shortstop, 3rd base, right field, left field and center field. Then there is one person that is trying to hit the ball and run to first base before the fielders can field the ball and throw it to 1st base. If the batter makes it to the base first, then they are safe, if the fielders get the ball to first base before the batter gets there, the batter is out. Once the fielding side gets 3 outs, the teams switch places between batting and fielding. In the end, the team that has the most batters that ran the bases all way home and scored, wins.

 

I hope that you have enjoyed learning about the history of how softball was created! Did you learn anything about softball?

What was the Termination Era? 

Termination means to end. Era means a period of time. The Termination era was from 1953-1968. The Termination Era was a time where the government didn’t want native americans to have tribes and get benefits from the government. The government felt that the native americans should get all the same things as all the other americans. The government’s plan was to take away the native americans tribal land and send them to cities. They thought that they could send native americans to cities and then eventually the tribal lands would be clear and there would be no trace of those tribes. 

 

How the Termination Era Began

In 1953 Dwight Eisenhower became the 34th president of the United states. President Eisenhower wanted Termination to Native Americans. The government was planning to terminate lots of tribes so that there would be no trace that those tribes were ever there. Although not all tribes were terminated, the government still tried to limit federal money going to them. That same year that Eisenhower became president and The Termination Era started, the Relocation program started too. 

 

What was the Relocation program?

The Relocation program also started in 1953. Relocation was a program that the government set up. They would give natives a train ride to faraway cities and tell them that they would already know people there and that they could get good jobs.The government set up the relocation program hoping that would get the native americans off of their reservations. Throughout the time that Eisenhower was president 100,000 native americans got relocated from reservations to cities.

 

Did Relocation work?

The relocation program didn’t work out very well for the government or the natives. Relocation didn’t work out very well for the government because 1\3  of native americans returned back to their reservations. Relocation didn’t work out for native americans because they were told by the government that other people they knew would move to the same neighborhood and that they could get good jobs in their new city. This wasn’t always the truth though. Another reason why relocation didn’t work out for native americans is because the train ticket was a one way trip. This meant that they could not go home unless they had the money to buy train tickets back, but most natives didn’t have enough money.

A few types of yo-yos

You can get different types of yo-yos for different types of tricks. The three types that I use are a Duncan original yo-yo, a Duncan ball-bearing butterfly yo-yo and an unresponsive Magic yo-yo. (Magic yo-yo and Duncan are brands) There are lots of other yo-yo brands and types out there, but these three are just types that I use and love!

A Few Beginner tricks

There are a ton of tricks that you can learn to do! The ones that I am going to teach though are how to do the Basic throw, Toss, Break-away and Pinwheel. For the Toss you have to use a very responsive yo-yo, but for the Pinwheel you need a yo-yo that can sleep. For the Basic throw and Break-away you can use whatever yo-yo you have.

Outfield

Shiver comes up your spine 

                                        Crisp breeze in your face                                   

Waiting

Hoping

That something will come your way

Then you see it 

Your chance

Your heart leaps 

Your legs 

Pumping as fast as they can

The early morning dew brushing against your socks

The morning air whipping past your face

Reach out your glove 

As far as it can possibly go

SMACK

A wonderful feeling floods your body

Spilling out 

Over your whole team

 

 

 

 

 

Base Running

Heart beating fast 

Waiting

For your perfect opportunity

You hear the crack of the bat

You are off 

Leaving the huge dusty clouds behind you

Your feet thump hard against the ground

You’re almost there

Then

You see a yellow blur whizzing towards you

You leap into a dive

Slide against the dirt

narrowly missing

The ball and glove trying to touch you

Then you hear that glorious word

SAFE

 

 

 

 

 

It was a hot day in Idaho and Reagan’s family and my family were frying in the sun waiting in line for a water slide at Silverwood. The water slide was called Avalanche Mountain, was super wide, yellow, had an open top and could fit up to 6 people in one tube! 

 

“Yes! We are finally to the front of the line!” I exclaimed. “That was a pretty long wait!” replied Reagan. “I hope it was worth the wait!” I thought hopefully. 

 

A few minutes earlier while we were standing in line we had figured out who would go in which tube. We decided that Reagan, Reagan’s younger sister, Kennedy and I would ride together.  My mom, dad and brother would ride together. Also, Reagan’s mom, dad and brother would ride together. 

 

“Who should go first?” I asked. “How about you girls go first.” My dad replied. All three of us hopped into the huge yellow tube. We all sat one seat away from each other in sort of a triangle shape.  “Hold on to the tube handles at all times, exit quickly at the bottom and listen to the instruction of the lifeguard when you get to the bottom. Do you want to be splashed?” The lifeguard rattled out quickly. “No thank you!” we all replied to the lifeguard. None of us wanted to get splashed! 

 

There was a burst of excitement in me as the lifeguard shoved our tube down the slide. My heart leaped excitedly in my chest. Whoosh! I felt the crisp water slither down my back as the tube whooshed up the side of the slide, splashing us all! “Woah!” we all laughed as the tube slid up the side of the tube once again.  Whoosh! Whish! Went the tube as we all laughed and yelled. 

 

Friendship grew and grew.  Then all of the sudden, Whiz! We took a sharp turn. “This is a crazy water slide!” I yelled over all of the splashing and laughing. I got slightly lifted off the tube as we scaled the side of the slide yet again! “Oh-no.” we all laughed. Then a few seconds later SPLOOSH! The water crashed over my lap! “I wish that ride would last forever!” I thought. Plink! We all carefully slid into the waist high water at the bottom of the slide. “That was definitely worth the wait!” I decided. I think we all agreed. 

 

Do you like waterslides? Do you think that Avalanche mountain sounds fun to go on?

 

DIY Soap Making

Have you ever made diy soap? Is there a certain type of soap that is your favorite? Well I have made soap and it is really fun! There are a LOT of different types of soap that you can make. You can do different scents, colors, forms, sizes and molds. 

Molds

Molds are for making bar soap. At our house, some of the molds that we have are a circle 100% homemade mold, a square 100% homemade mold, a mold that says soap on it, a mold that has a clover on it, a tiny  mold that is a heart, a tiny mold that has popsicles, a tiny mold that has fruit on it and rectangle molds.

 Foaming Hand Soap

We have also tried to make foam hand soap. We just put in liquid soap, water, soap coloring and a scent. Then after that we put it into a foam hand soap dispenser.

Scents

There are lots of scents that you could make your soap smell like! Just about anything really! Some of my favorites are guava, lavender, peppermint, pineapple, fig and passion fruit. We also have apple, strawberry, orange, cinnamon, lemongrass, eucalyptus and coconut. Also, you can add things into your soap like dried lavender or my mom added in coffee grounds. 

Colors

You can make a soap whatever color you want! Most of my soaps are either pink, purple, or blue. One of the only things about the coloring is that you shouldn’t use food coloring because food coloring stains and then after you use it you would be the color of your soap!

Types of Soap base

There are also different types of soap base that you can use. The three types that we use though, are glycerin, shea butter and goats milk. Glycerin is more clear, but shea butter and goats milk is more white.(left) Glycerin soap

Bath Jellies

Bath jellies are another type of soap and they feel like jello. It is a combination of unscented gelatin, glycerin soap, coloring, and scent. We usually make ours small and use 1 per shower. You use them just like a bar of soap.

If you could make one of these, what do you think you would want to create?

 

Beep! Beep! Went the alarm and Vin and Gus knew that they were alone in the house. “You are getting really old Vin. I am 75 in dog years and you are like 93!” gus said “You have gray hair” Vin replied “You are grey too and I have always been gray” Gus yelled angrily. “I can’t hear you, I am deaf!” Vin yelled as loud as he could. “What should we try to get out of the kitchen today?” whispered Gus. “What did you say? I can’t hear you!” Yelled Vin. “sigh, I said, what should we try to get out of the kitchen today and you really are getting old because you can’t even hear me!” Gus sighed annoyed as he pulled out a small fake hand out of his best hiding spot. (which he does not trust you to know) “What are you going to use that thing for?” yelled Vin (as usual) “Can’t you remember anything?”  Gus said in a frustrated tone. “We have to use this to open the kennel since the humans made it so that we can not open the kennel, with our feet.” Gus said as he tinkered with the lock on the kennel. A few minutes later he heard a “Pop” and the metal door shot open. “I am really craving some banana peels from the compost bin bin today!” Vin yelled. “Well, you have a nice time eating banana peels while I have a parfait and some chicken pre cut off of the bone” Gus as he trotted down the stairs while Vin half fell and half walked down behind. Click. Click. Click. Click. Went their toenails on the kitchen floor.  Bang! “ Sigh, there goes the compost bin.” Gus sighed. Gus stuck his paw behind the fridge handle and tugged. A HUGE waft of cold air hit Gus and there was the most amazing thing to ever be invented. The Refrigerator! (And the food inside of course!) Gus snatched out yogurt, chicken, granola (from the pantry) blueberries and threw it all onto the table and sat down. “No dog bowl today!” He thought. “Yum Yum Yum!” was what Vin was thinking as he ate banana peels off of the ground. Then something terrible happened! They heard a car door slam in the garage! “ Grab the food and get upstairs into the kennel! They are home!” Gus instructed. Vin wandered upstairs slowly as Gus nudged the compost back onto the counter, closed the refrigerator door, grabbed the food and dashed upstairs and right when he reached the top step he heard a Beep! Beep! And he hurriedly jumped into the kennel with Vin. Just as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs he realized that the humans would see the food! He was choking down the last bit of food when one the humans let them out. “Phew” Gus managed to whisper under his breath. “THAT was close” 

 

What do you think would be a crazy thing that your pet would do while your family was away?
