Magic Girl

 I woke up from under the tree I had slept under, it was freezing.. All I wanted was a family and a home. I started walking around and soon found myself in a field full with crops, and people. When I started walking around a man came up to me and yelled “Get back to picking out those weeds!” he said. That’s when I started working as a farmer. As I started to pick some of the weeds next to the crops that were growing a lady that had a kind smile on her face started working next to me. She asked “Are you new here I’ve never seen you before, what’s your name?”. I thought to myself what is my name, I have never been called anything before so I guess I have no name. I told her, “I don’t have a name.” and she said back to me “Well everyone has a name but since you don’t I could help you figure out your name.”


I nodded my head and she said a few names, “Merry, Ivy, Ella”, none of them really sounded interesting to me until she said “Beatrice”. It sounded so happy and it was beautiful I loved it.. She could tell I liked that name and said “Well now you're Beatrice nice to meet you I’m Rose.”. Rose had put me to where I was feeding them sheep's and cows, goats and chickens. but I was always too afraid to go feed the ox even if it wasn’t that big. She could tell that I was good with animals even though I’ve never really touched one before and actually owned one. They were afraid of everyone but me, they wouldn't come out to it until the person left and no one was around they only came to me so I stayed working there. I felt bad for the sheep's though they didn’t weigh that much or look very healthy we didn't really have anything for them, no food that was good enough for them.


Rose started making me do multiple things in just one day! However it wasn’t that hard. The only new thing that she made me do is start to fertilize the soil, but all we did was put manure on the soil. Which made it smell so bad but it still helped, but wasn't the best it took weeks for a crop to finally grow at least that's what Rose told me. I wanted to try something, making something that would make it grow or fertilize the soil faster than before. However what could I do? There was a small piece of clay on the ground and for some reason I made me have the urge to use that clay on the soil but what could clay do? I grabbed the piece of clay and smeared it onto the soil and added a crop with it but I already knew that it wasn't gonna work, but it's worth a try.

I went back to feed the animals and didn’t worry about it too much. I saw the ox but this time I wasn’t scared. I didn’t notice that I was staring at it and that I slowly started moving closer towards the ox. That’s when we made eye contact, we were just staring eye to eye. I slowly got some food out in my hand and holded my hand out. The ox  just stared at me for a few seconds..then slowly got up and moved closer to me. It finally came close enough to where it took the food from my hand and that’s when I realized why had I been so afraid of this ox? I pet the ox and gave it more food then went over to check on how the soil was. As I was a few feet away from where I had used my clay that I randomly decided to use on the soil and the soil was dark brown. All the other areas wren't even close to that kind of brown. It worked I thought to myself...it worked!!!! Everyone saw me start jumping up and down and spinning and ran over to see what was wrong. Rose came up to me and said "Beatrice what's wrong did someone do something?!?!" I replied back to her "It worked Rose it worked!!! Look at the soil!"

Rose looked at the soil and her eyes widened, she said "The soil it looks like it had been watered for days and really fertilized...Beatrice did you do that?" I nodded my head and everyone just stared at me for a second...I looked at Rose again and everyone else again they all had huge smiles on their faces even the boys that didn't like me. Rose hugged me and said "Now we will grow crops so much faster thanks to what you have done! By the way what did you use?" I told her clay and no one could believe it that clay helped the soil become like that. She said "What a odd way to fertilize the soil...maybe you really are a Magic Girl". Everyone cheered for what had just happened and they all thanked me I was happy I could help everyone grow crops faster but still tonight I would go back to that same old tree I woke up at and have no family and no home..."Oh yeah Beatrice" I looked up at her surprised "Yeah?'' she said "I can tell that you don't have a family or a home to sleep in...so I was wondering if you would like to live with me..I could definitely use some company and I would love to have you!". I just stared at her..water had started coming out of my eyes..what is this? I ran towards Rose and hugged her and said "Yes of course!"

For the next few days had been great, Rose and I have been having a great time together and the crops have started to grow was quicker! I was happy and felt magical inside maybe I am a Magic Girl...I laughed at myself "I could never be a Magic Girl" and I went back inside my house with Rose.

Secrets

In The Book Of Elsewhere right now everybody is keeping secrets away from Olivia but slowly after everything she has heard the pieces in the puzzle that she is trying to figure out are slowly clicking together. However somehow I can't tell which puzzle pieces for her are clicking together because she is talking about this specific puzzle but she doesn't really say if she figured that part out or not. Also there are some new puzzle pieces that are getting added to the big puzzle which I think makes it more mysterious and exciting!

Maybe Still Human

In The Book Of Elsewhere Olivia went back to the Linden Street painting where Morton lived. She wanted to know how he was, if he was okay however she knew that he wouldn't be glad to see her so she brought him some gifts and jumped into the painting. What kind of shocked me is when Olivia kept saying that Morton was a painting and yes he might be slowly be turning into a part of a painting but he was just an ordinary human boy before. What evidence shows that is that when Olivia touched Mortons hands they were still warm unlike when she touched Annabelle's hands they were cold like she hasn't ever been alive. Could he still be a little human before he totally becomes a painting?

The Short Visit

In The Book Of Elsewhere right now the past few days have just been normal no signs of Horatio the cat. Olivia went to go explore the room where the beautiful lady portrait was there and where she first found the spectacles but this time when she looked through the spectacles the lady in the portrait didn't move. Olivia didn't know what to do as she spoke to herself and soon enough the lady spoke to her. Olivia went in the portrait and had a chat and some tea with the lady. I think that at first I wouldn't trust the lady so much because you don't know for sure who's side she could be on or what she could do but she could give us some information that we needed so I would still go in the painting like Olivia did.

Trapdoor

Coming back to The Book Of Elsewhere Olivia finds herself having to go in the basement the creepy dark basement. When she went in the basement she knew something was watching her she turned around and saw a pair of green eyes looking at her and she found out it was a black cat sitting on wood, but the floor was stone. Olivia talked to the cat and found out that the cat was guarding the trapdoor. I think that the trapdoor has something that Olivia will have to face later on in the story if the cat is having to guard it but I want to know what she will do if it is something bad inside the trapdoor.

Work of Woman

In the Middle Ages woman were officially required to be subordinated whether their father husband or other kings men. They usually consists a household of tasks to do. Peasant woman were usually responsible fir taking care of the household, child-care as well has gardening and animal husbandry. I think that woman are required to be subordinated to other males and stuff isn't right because woman are dominate people too. What if the woman was famous would she still have to do those things?

The Black Death?!?!

They hopped on rats that were carried on ships that lead to Europe and they are....Fleas!! Fleas carried illness that couldn't be cured at the time because they had no real cures back then. So then if you got The Black Death you wouldn't survive. I think that this would be so scary if I lived in Europe I would get the heck out of there for sure! However eventually they made a cure for it! What helped cure The Black Death?

Weather Changes

The weather changed a lot , it went back and forth so people didn't know if it was gonna be hot or rain a lot since they didn't know they didn't know if there crops would grow enough food or if it would just die. I think that if the weather kept switching on and off that they should take a break on crops and wait a few days ora week to see what the weather is mostly like and if its raining a lot then they know to keep little plants but if its been hot then plant some crops. When did this weather changing stop?

Delicious Food

Way back them I'm kind of surprised that the main food was Bread! Not meat or sushi or salad! However they did have some other fruits and vegetables like cabbage, lettuce and turnips. When I think of mostly eating bread I think it wouldn't be that bad because I personally really love bread but I really love meat too. Was there different types of bread like really nice bread for the rich and okay bread for poor?

Older Clothing!

While looking back into the past I looked into the middle ages and what they used to wear and I've found some interesting things like shoes were generally made pointed!, that the rich cloth was either scarlet, blue, reddish and two colors mixed together and also that luxury at it's height when gold, silver , and precious stones were lavished on the clothes. I think that pointed shoes it pretty complicated and that maybe it was too much to have that because you would want different styles and different types of shoes. What if the poor couldn't afford pointed shoes would they just be bare foot or would the shoes that weren't made pointed be low price enough for them?

Exploring The Other Paintings

In the book The Book Of Elsewhere Olivia is currently left at home alone again and now is exploring the other paintings around the house. With the spectacles that she has she can actually see the paintings moving! What I mean is that the people and trees or houses inside the paintings, they come to life. Some of the paintings were a woman dipping her toes into the bathtub, a woman and man enjoying lunch at a french street cafe, three girls talking and they wore something that Morton wore. Olivia jumped in the painting to ask if they new anything about Morton and the bad man. However all they did is shove her out off the painting. The last painting she explored was three men building a wall, Olivia was a little bit afraid of the men but went into the painting anyway. They way the three man acted made Olivia less scared about them, they talked about the bad man and about the basement and how there was something in there. Olivia hated the basement however might go explore it anyway.

Can't Catch Me!

The book that I'm reading is The Book of Elsewhere. One of the most funniest scenes is when Olivia and Morton get out of the painting but they have to go threw another and Morton doesn't want too. That wasn't the funny part the funniest part was that he started running away from Olivia and was taunting her but in a teasing way saying "Boys are faster than girls" and that made her very angry. Also he kept saying things like that so when she finally caught him she was so mad! However in the end she just ended up dragging him into the painting and taught him a lesson.

The One Thing He Cared For

Why I think Dally's death might have been sadder is because Dally was a hard guy and wasn't soft and he acted like he didn't care however he did have a soft spot for something actually someone what I mean is Johnny. When Johnny died Dally was crushed into pieces he had only cared for Johnny. Now that he was dead now what was Dally gonna do? He knew that the best thing for him to do is to go join Johnny to where he was. Just to see that Dally would die for Johnny or because he cared for Johnny is really sad though. However to have a fake gun and pretend he was gonna shoot the cops and then he got shot and died instantly he knew it was the right thing to do.

Little Boy

The book that I started reading last week is called The Book of Elsewhere and now there is a new character! His name is Morton and hes nine years old! Right now in the book Olivia is stuck in the painting and has been wondering around until she found Morton. The thing that is a little sad is that Morton has been stuck in this painting for forever and he was put in the painting from the bad man. They have been running all over the place to find a way out but they just cant find a path to lead them. Morton is stubborn and Olivia and even just hearing of what his face and his reaction sound like I think hes really afraid.

Golden Frienship

  • Johnny: “Stay gold.”
   The quote that I am choosing to write a paragraph about is when Johnny says " Stay Gold Ponyboy". What Johnny is saying is that he wants Ponyboy to stay good and just to be himself and to not change in the future. An example is that Ponyboy used golden for his mom because she was beautiful and caring. Basically Johnny wants him to stay that way too.  To keep helping people and understand everyone. Johnny and Ponyboy's friendship was gold or golden because they saved the kids from the church, they took care of each other and understood each other. Johnny already knew that Ponyboy was golden and I think that Ponyboy might have not thought he was gold but Johnny knew he was and so he just wanted to tell Ponyboy that he was and to stay that way before he died.

Inside The Painting

The book I'm reading The Book of Elsewhere is starting to get a little interesting because Olivia found something that will make the paintings either show something to her like a young girl with her hair combed back painting winked at Olivia when she wore this spectacles. What I think was the most interesting part though is that the first painting that showed her the little white figure thing, she was able to go through it! Also now she accidentally fell through the painting again!

Talking Cat

In the new book I'm reading The Book of Elsewhere creepy things have been happening. The thing that I thought was a little scary is that the cat at their new house at night started talking to Olivia which is weird but is cool to talk to animals. However the scary part of when they were talking is that the cat said that not just Olivia owns the house but someone else owns it too and that they think Olivia is an intruder. The cat said that they are gonna try their best to get rid of Olivia which gave me the chills. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Roller Coaster Madness

Eek! As the harness quickly buckled me in. I felt my palms moist and syrupy that I didn't have a good grip of  the handlebars. Crack! We had just started moving my stomach was filled with butterflies. I could already see the drop. Click click click click click. As we slowly started getting higher and higher to the very top of the roller coaster. The clicking stopped I knew what that meant....I quickly looked over to my friends with a scared however ready for whatever we were getting into look and they had the same face. I gripped onto the handlebars as hard as I could took a big breath and swoosh! We were going down 180 feet drop and the butterflies in my stomach grew 100 times bigger than they were before. I tried opening my eyes and everything was happening so fast! Screaming for my life I thought I was the only one however everyone was screaming! I could see the ground and it looked like we were gonna crash right into the ground I closed my eyes as tight as I could!

The huge drop ended I had a huge smile on my face that drop was the biggest drop that I have ever been on however I was very relieved. There were very fast turns and I could see myself looking at people that were watching me on the ride but they turned into a blur as we picked up more speed! There was a little drop that to me was still big and I could see the sky right before I dropped back down straight into a fast turn! Just when I thought there was no more drops a surprise drop was right in front of me! In my head I knew I was going to die but really I was so excited for this next drop! As we were going down this time I looked at my friends to see their reaction to this drop. They had been screaming bloody murder and had the silliest faces on! Then I turned back to looking down and seeing the ground again I started screaming like bloody murder! The last drop had ended! With the finale turn it was the fastest scariest turn. It was like I was on a motorcycle that had been making a sharp turn! I thought in a second our faces would hit the side of the ground because it was so sideways!

When the turn ended we started going slower and slower everyone were screaming " Yeah! We did it!" Then I realized we had just beat one of the scariest and biggest roller coaster's ever..... Goliath

The Paintngs

In the new book I'm reading The Book Of Elsewhere: The Shadows, Olivia has just moved into this old mansion. She talked about how in the other apartment she lived in they were all similar but how this house had something different about itself. What creeping her out the most is the paintings that were on the wall. The painting that was creeping her out the most was the painting right outside of her bedroom. There were some houses and trees but in Olivia's head the houses look like they were pretending to be asleep like they knew something bad was gonna happen. I think that her thought on that painting is quite interesting because if I saw that picture I probably wouldn't have thought that at all.

A New Book

The book that I am just starting to read is The Books Of Elsewhere: The Shadows by Jacqueline West. Even though I have just finished the first chapter the main character Olivia interests me already. She doesn't talk much however she is a creative girl. At least that's what her parents said about her. Her parents just bought a old mansion for a good price and Olivia doesn't really want to believe yet that this is her house. Personally I wouldn't believe it either at first. I can't wait to see more of Olivia and see what the book holds for me!

The End With A Cliff Hanger!

In the book Crown of Three the book just ended! I am very sad that it ended because I love this book a lot but what made me mad is that they left me not knowing if the prophecy is true and the triplets defeat the king or that they will be defeated! However I think that this is an amazing book and recommend it to someone who likes action and a fighting also powers! Just be prepared to not have so much excitement at first because in the first few chapters it is just mostly talking but after a few more chapters the action will began and you will love the book like I do. I will miss you Crown of Three I can't wait for the next book!

Goodbye Brother

In the book Crown of Three a huge war is rising right now in the book. However one of the most heartbreaking things just happened to Gulph. His brother (step) just died in his arms. Why I think this is heartbreaking is because even though Nymus turned into a monster and someone that Gulph didn't recognize anymore. Gulph still loved him as a brother and a friend and cared about him. Also just before Nymus died Gulph told Nymus that he was one of the triplets. "I should have...seen it. I always thought...fate brought you Gulph. To Idillian. To me. Fate....had brought me a friend.... Also in the Vault in the black cell....I used to wish for a brother...." Nymus said. I think that this quote that Nymus said is the saddest but most important quote in the book. Then.....Nymus died...

The Trap

The book Crown of Three is coming to an end. However the war isn't coming to a end yet! What I thought was a brilliant idea for a trap is that Elodie is gonna talk to the ghost army that she is standing on to make a bridge to leave so that the undead army will fall to the ground! She is doing this because there are too many undead people that her and her army can't fight them off so they are pushing them back. I think that was a very brilliant idea for her to come up! Also her planned worked but Brutan was still alive and is filled with even more rage!

Gulph's Power and Love

In the book Crown of Three Gulph one of the triplets has figured out his power. What I didn't know is that Gulph , Elodie and Tarlan's mother was a witch. So it confused me a little when Elodie had the power to see dead people and Tarlan could talk to animals. However I was really confused because I was thinking what is Gulph's power? Does he not have one? However Gulph's power is that he can turn invisible! He doesn't know how to activate it though. What I thought was a interesting part in the book is when Nymus was getting attacked by his undead father Brutan and Gulph rushed over and tries to help him. However Gulph doesn't get there in time to save Nymus and he gets stabbed in the stomach. Gulph comes rushing over to help and stay by Nymus's side and Nymus doesn't understand why. Gulph did it because Nymus was his brother well step brother. Also even though Nymus has turned into a monster Gulph still cares for him helps him the best he can. I think that was an amazing moment in the story.

Finding Out About The Other Army

The book Crown of Three is almost at it's end and now the real battle is starting to begin. What I think was crazy is that Elodie proved that the ghost army was really there and fighting with them! Why I think that's crazy is because she hasn't told anyone from Trident that she could see ghosts and that there was a army of ghosts fighting them however now she is about to show that really they are here with them! Elodie proves it by jumping off the bridge and letting the ghost army catch her. Well they did catch her and everyone was amazed and so was I even though I already knew that the ghost army was already there! I think that this was one of the most greatest parts in the book and now the real battle against Trident and Nymus has started!

Rising Action!

The book I'm reading and almost done with is Crown of Three by J.D Rinehart. I'm starting to love this book because the really juicy action is starting to happen! Not just is their a living dead father but there is a whole army of living dead people! Now Trident is gonna have to face 2 armies however they don't know that they are up against 2 armies! This book is really making me want to read to the very end and find out what happens next!I recommend this book to people that like fight and action! When I first started reading this book I wasn't into it at all because much wasn't happening but after I kept reading it I'm really enjoying it! I think what will happen next is that one of the Thorrod's will get hit by Brutan and Tarlan will be raged with anger that he will take Brutan down. However I hope that Brutan doesn't take the bird down because Tarlan would be so sad and because they are such powerful and beautiful animals.

Living Dead Father!

The Crown Of Three by J.D Rinhart has finally started it's battle. One of the most scariest parts or exciting and nerve racking parts is when the triplets father came back alive. However this time very angry and ready for revenge to kill the person who killed him! Then one by one he starts taking people that get in the way of how getting to his killer which is Gulph his son. Why it's one of the scariest parts in the book is because he came back to life because of Limmoni a great wizard and now he has her wizard magic that she had. He is way more powerful than before and kills anyone who get's in his way!

Ghost Friendship and Loyalty

The book I'm reading that is sadly ending soon in a few chapters is Crown of Three by J.D Rinehart it is an amazing book! Right now Elodie has arrived very close to the castle to battle and save her brother Gulph. She has Trident to fight along with her but also her loyal friend Samial who is dead. She wanted him to fight along her side and that is exactly what hes doing. He brought a whole army with him to fight with her. Though he is different their relationship between them is no different from ordinary however it is far more powereful and now they start heading towards battle!

Act Three

The book I'm reading is Crown Of Three by J.D Rinehart and I have now finished Act Two and moving on to Act Three. What I think will happen next is that after another few chapters of searching and working that Gulph Elodie and Tarlan will finally meet but then the King will see and be shocked because he didn't know that Gulph was part of the prophecy. However that won't stop him from killing him and making sure the prophecy doesn't come true. Then I think the battle between them will start but one of them will get injured and the king will take them and use them to win the battle however I think the other two will do somethimg incredible and will win the war!

The Moment Of Uniting

 Why I'm starting to love this book is because the family is starting to unite together and finally get to see each other. Tarlan went to go find Elodie (his sister that he has never met) because he thought that she was kidnapped by Trident however she actually really wasn't! He searched three days looking for her and now he had finally found Trident but he didn't know where Elodie was. Trident spotted Tarlan and he knew, he came down to talk to them about letting Elodie go. They told them they don't harm her and that they protect her, finally Tarlan spotted Elodie and tells her that he was her sister. However no one believed him at first. They attacked and Tarlan retreated but came back when he knew it was safe. When they looked at Tarlan again they knew that he actually was Elodie's brother. Elodie came running to him giving him a big hug and then he joined the Trident too! They finally met and now going to find their other brother.
