Pretty In Pink Movie Review

Hi guys! Today I am going to write about Pretty In Pink, a movie made in the 80s that I saw last night with my family.

So the movie started out with the main character, Andy, getting ready for school and waking her dad up for a job interview. She dresses in clothes she makes that are old fashioned. When she gets to school she gets made fun of a lot from other girls. She has a friend named Duckie that has a huge crush on her. One day she is working in the record store and a guy from her school named Blane comes in. He asked for her opinion on a record, buys it, and leaves. You can tell that they like each other a little.

He came back in the next day and said he didn't really like the record. They were about to talk a bit more when Duckie accidentally pulled an alarm and Blane left. The next day in the parking lot Blane asked Andy out on a date Friday night. So they go on the date and he takes her to his friends party first and it goes bad so they go to a music place where they have problems with Duckie getting mad at Andy. At the end of the terrible date Blane asks Andy to prom and she says yes. They go on another date but after that Blane starts not calling her and avoiding her a little at school.

Then he comes up to her at the end of the day and he tells her that he forgot he asked another girl to prom a month ago. Andy gets mad and she runs out of the school. Then Duckie gets in a fight with Blanes' jerk friend and leaves school too. Andy decides she needs to go to prom to show Blane he didn't break her. She walks into the dance with Duckie and Blane comes up to her and apologizes. Duckie tells Andy to go after him and she does. In the end Andy and Blane are together and Duckie gets a girl too.

So this movie was really fun and the music was great. I would give it a 7 out of 10 rating. My favorite part was probably when They go on their first date. I recommend seeing this!

The Baltimore Aquarium

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about my trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. So on Friday After school I went with my mom to the Baltimore Aquarium. It was extra credit in my science class if we went and took a picture with the electric eel.

So we got to the aquarium at around 5:30. We started the tour looking at some small sharks and sting rays. Then we moved on and we got to touch some crabs and fish. They felt extremely weird. The fish had spikes on its back but they weren't sharp and it's actual skin was squishy. We also got to touch jellyfish. We could only touch the top part so we didn't get stung, but they were really cool. They felt soft and rubbery. After that we saw a really cool octopus. The octopus was my favorite because it could change colors. It went from pink to purple to red. It was ugly but it was really cool. Then we saw the eel. It was really big and looked pretty creepy. It stayed really still and never blinked once so it was just staring at you. It also blended in with the wood logs to it took us a little while to find it.

After we saw the eel we looked at a bunch of other little fish. After we had finished the fish section we saw all of the things like poison dart frogs, birds, and a sloth. Next we saw all of the sharks. The Sharks looked really creepy. They had a sawfish shark and it was really creepy. After the Sharks we went to see the dolphins. They played a little with the dolphins. After that we looked around the gift shop and went home.

So during the trip I took notes of five things that I learned. The first animal I learned about was the green sea turtle. The turtle eats jellyfish, algae, and sponges. They are helpful to the environment because they eat algae off of coral so the coral can see sunlight. The green sea turtle is an endangered species. The next fish is the palette surgeonfish, which is what Dory from Finding Nemo is. Dory eats plankton and algae. This fish also accidentally eats sand which actually helps with its digestion. The Dory fish grows up to 31 centimeters and up to 1.3 pounds. Next is the blacktip reef shark. The blacktip reef shark eats fishes, shrimp, and octopi. These Sharks actually bond with sharks of their kind. They group up and form bonds. This type of shark is near threatened, so if nothing changes it will become endangered. The Sharks actually have semi transparent eyelids that they can close to protect their eyes from scratches from other animals and from things like sand and coral. The next fish I picked is the bowfin fish. This fish eats other fish, amphibians, and crustaceans. This fish is actually extremely cool because it was the line survivor of an extinct family of ancient fish. It also breaths air. This fish was once endangered a long time ago but now it is flourishing. Last is the electric eel. It generates 800volts which is more than enough to stun a human. These eels can grow up to 9 or 10 feet long. You can actually tell the difference between every single electric eels because they each have a different voltage versus length equation. The electric eel sends out pulses threw the water when they want to find a mate. The eels set up an electric field and they can tell if something enters it and they send out a shock wave to kill or stun it. My favorite out of these five is probably the bowfin fish because I find it extremely cool and interesting that it was around in ancient times. 

So that was my trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. My favorite part was when I saw the color changing octopus. I also really liked touching the jellyfish. I highly recommend going to the Baltimore Aquarium it was a lot of fun. I would give it a 8 out of 10 rating.

Captain America Civil War Movie Review

Hi guys! Today I am going to write about the movie Captain America Civil War. My family saw this movie in theaters the day after it came out. SPOILER ALERT.

So the movie started out with the Avengers fighting a villain and they end up destroying a building. Then on the news it says that the Avengers don't care about what the wreck and that they are also criminals. A government official comes to their place and tells them that they either need to sign a document saying they will only fight when the government gives them permission or they are outlaws. The Avengers basically split into two teams, one for the document, and one against the document. 

On the team for the document is Iron Man, Black Widow, War Machine, Vision, Spider Man, and The Black Panther. On the team against the document is Captain America, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, The Winter Soldier, Ant Man, and Hawk Eye. They get into an epic fight about signing the document and then realized they needed to be on the same side. Captain America and The Winter Solider got into a fight against Iron Man because The Winter Solider killed Iron Mans parents.

This was a great movie and you need to see it. Iron Mans team was fighting for being within the law and not fugitives but Captain America was fighting for their freedom. I can see both sides of the argument and I can't really pick one over the other. I'm very excited to see what's coming next in this story. I would rate this movie a 8.5 out of 10.

I highly recommend you seeing this movie. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it.

Track and Field Season Ending

Track and Field Season Ending

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about the end of track and field. Saturday morning was the varsity championships.

The freshman championships were on Thursday. In track I throw freshman shot put and discus and I run varsity four by one and 100 meter dash. I couldn't throw in the freshman championship because of medical reasons but I did run varsity Saturday. I got second place for Spring Mills and Jefferson got first.

Track and field was a lot of fun but also harder then I expected. There is a lot of people that end up joining track and quitting within a week. The meets are probably my favorite part. After your event you get to hang out with friends. At varsity meets I had to help with hurtles and sign ins after my event though. Saturday after my event I handed out medals, trophies, and ribbons to the winning people and teams.

For the championships the spring mills freshen won first place all together and the varsity team won third all together out of the eight teams. I'm looking forward to doing track and field again next year. I might try pole vaulting too.

So that's all for this blog. I had a great season and I'm looking forward to it again next year.

Where She Went Book Review

Where She Went Book Review

Hi guys! Today I am going to write about the sequel to my favorite book, If I Stay. SPOILER ALERT!

In the first book, If I Stay, Mia gets into a car crash where her entire family dies and she is seriously injured. At the very end of the book she starts to wake up. In Where She Went, the book is written from her ex-boyfriend, Adams, view. Adam had become a famous singer in a band called Shooting Star. Mia had become a famous cello player. They meet again one night when Adam decides he wants to see her play. He tries to get out unrecognized but the staff members all know who he is so the news gets to Mia. She asks to see him and they wander around New York all night.

It's around 5-6 in the morning when Mia and Adam get to the Brooklyn Bridge. They have a huge talk about them breaking up and everything that happened. They go back to to Mias house and Adam sleeps on the couch for a little while. They reconnect and Adam decides to leave the band and spend his time with Mia.

This is a great second book to If I Stay. I think that If I Stay is better, but Where She Went is a close second. I would give Where She Went a 7 out of 10. I highly recommend both of these books. I also want to read more by this author because she writes really well.

So that's my book review on Where She Went. This book was amazing and I recommend reading it.
