Meerkats

Today I read a book about meerkats. I learned about meerkats and I like them.

Meerkats live and work together in groups called colonies. Meerkats live in South Africa and meeerkats like rocky and hot places so many meerkats live in South Africa. Meerkats use their burrows through holes in the ground and make long tunnel. Meerkats eat grasshoppers, beetles, and spiders. They also hunt mice, small lizards, and small snakes. Meerkats sometimes eat bird eggs. Meerkats hunt diffrent place each day and they running out to found food everyday. Eagles and jackals hunt meerkats and if markats thought their is a eagles and jackels, they make noises to other meerkats. Females birth about 11 weeks after they mate. Females usually have two to four young babies. Kit's eye will open two weeks later and fur is very short first. Kits stay in the burrows until six months. Meerkats are not good pets, because meerkats are dangerous to people and they dig floors and walls. But meerkats are like people sometimes if they work together.

Ashes and Snow

Yesterday I went to the Ashes and Snow photography exhibit. Gregory Colbert is famous for his photography and his pictures are very beautiful. When we were in the museum there was a lot of photos and beautiful movies but inside there was dark and scary music so it made me feel scared. Before we went in the museum, I thought the pictures were fake but my teacher told me that the pictures are not fake. I liked all the pictures but my favorite picture is of boys listening to an elephant. That picture makes me feel happy and Love. These pictures were taken in India, Egypt, Burma, Tonga, Sri Landa, Namibia, Kenya, Antarctica, the Azores and Borneo. I saw a lot of animals in the pictures and movies, Elephants, Baboons, Tigers, Whales, Gazelles, Crocodiles and other animals.
These pictures tell everyone about animals and people through themes of love and happiness.

Charlotte's Web

I read Charlotte's Web and watched the movie. It was very good story and I liked it. The book and movie were different. The movie was better than the book because the movie's story was easy to understand, but the book was a little bit hard to understand. Also, the movie was funnier than the book. But both stories were different so it was good.

One day in the Spring, a pig had babies. Fern's father tried to kill one baby pig. Fern said, "Please don't kill that baby pig!" But Fern's father replied, "But Fern, we don't need that pig." Fern was still crying and crying and finally Fern's father said, "OK, you can have it." Then Fern was happy, and named the pig Wilbur. Fern and Wilbur were very good friends, but one day Wilbur had to go to the barn, because Wilbur was big and he was not a baby anymore. Then Wilbur got on the truck and Fern said goodbye to Wilbur. When Wilbur arrived at the barn, he wanted to play with the baby sheep, but the baby sheep's father said no because the pig was fat and he would die soon. Wilbur thought, "I don't wont to die," and he was sad. At night, Wilbur couldn't sleep because he missed Fern. Wilbur heard someone's voice. It was Charlotte, a spider. Wilbur said to her, "I don't wont to be die." Then Charlotte said, "I will help you." Wilbur said, "How do you do?" Charlotte said, "I will tell you tomorrow, so now you should sleep." Then Wilbur slept.

The next day, Wilbur saw a beautiful web and it said, "Some Pig." Mr. Zuckerman saw that beautiful web and he told many people so many people came to the barn. Wilbur was popular. But one day the beautiful web was not popular anymore, so Wilbur was sad and told Charlotte. Then Charlotte said to Templeton, "Please find a word in the paper.'' Templeton found a good word in the paper. The next day every one saw the beautiful web and it said "Terrific" and many people came to the barn and saw the beautiful web and Wilbur. One day Wilbur went to the fair with Fern and Mr. Zuckerman and Charlotte and Templeton. Fern and Wilbur were still together but Fern's friend said, "Let go to the attractions!" So Fern went with her friend, and Wilbur was very sad. At night Templeton was so hungry he walked around the shops and found a lot of food and he was very happy. The next day, Wilbur got a medal and Mr. Zuckerman got a lot of money, so everyone was happy. Wilbur had to go to the barn so he tried to go in the gate, but Charlotte was going to die soon because she had baby spiders. Wilbur cried and cried, and then Charlotte died. Wilbur held the eggs and he went to go back to the barn. In Spring, many animals were born and the baby spiders hatched and said goodbye to everyone. The spiders fled away, but three baby spiders still stayed in the barn. Wilbur was happy and the other animals were happy too.
