George Don’t Label Me

One thing I learned about hydraulics is that water is better to use than air as it can not be compressed.

One piece of advice would be that they should make sure they have all they need as we had to change plans due to a lack of a properly sized spring.

my greatest success in this class was that I successfully made the launcher even though I had to change the plan.

Precious plastic recycles the plastic that is not used. Plastic is very bad for the environment. Most of the plastic is released into the oceans and moved into some of the garbage patches. Plastic causes a lot of deaths of fish and makes the surviving marine life unsafe to eat. Plastics also cause the ocean to become more acidic which make the water unsafe to drink.  My idea is to make a helmet using plastic. I began by searching up some helmets but most helmets have holes in them so they won’t work. Then, I decided to search for round helmets which are most commonly military helmets but when I asked the teacher, she said that there are no round molds so I decided to use a hexagonal mold, then I will cut the plastic so it will be round.

my cranky contraption is:

a mini scissor and the theme was a wood workshop.

My biggest challenge was:

I did not have enough time to finish my last contraption which was a bow

One piece of advise I would give to a future student would be:

It will take more time than you expect

Overall, I think this product was successful because…

I finished the main project.

One of the mains ideas in ‘Fly Away Home’ is about Jealousy. Jealousy means that we are feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages. The idea is that jealousy can cause anger and the reasons include when someone has something you don’t have, insults, and deaths.

When someone has something we don’t have, we get angry. In the book, the narrator did not have a home and had to live in the airport. When he heard people welcoming people home, he felt very angry and wanted to know what made those people so special to have a home.  This explains why jealousy can cause anger.

Another reason that jealousy can cause anger is that one can get insulted by others for not having something. The narrator felt insulted when he heard people welcoming others back home. I also have a small anecdote about it. In fifth grade, my friend got an Iphone X which is the newest version of the Iphone, and he insulted me for not having one and I got really angry. This shows that there are more than one way to cause anger with jealousy.

Another way jealousy can cause anger is when someone dies. When people die, wills and other bad things will happen such as property loss. Although wills are good things altogether, they can make people lose things sometimes. Like in fly away home, they only had one home and when the mother died, a will or something similar happened and they lost their home; these are some of the times wills are a bad thing. Because of this, the boy got angry when people have a show that they have a home or family members.

There are may reasons that jealousy will cause anger. Everyday, people get jealous and loose their temper.  These are some of the main reasons this is happening. This shows why it’s happening.

when the year began, harry potter was warned that there is a plot that someone is going to kill him. dobby the house elf told harry to not to go to Hogwarts. Dobby is angry that the muggles found out and hit himself with a lamp. when harry tried to get on to the platform, he was too late, it was already eleven o’ clock. harry and Ron, his best friend tried to get in by the magical flying car. when they flew, the invisibility system did not seem to work. obviously the work of Dobby’s. when they landed on the grounds of Hogwarts, they found that the car is moving by it’s self-work of Dobby’s- and is on the whooping willow, a tree that attacks things. they found out that ginny, Ron’s sister (Harry’s future love) is in Gryffindor, like all of the Weasleys. they found out that a new teacher arrived for the vacant position of defence against the Dark arts class. then, he starts to hear strange noises. then, in the first duel club, Harry Potter found out that he was a parselmouth- a person who can speak to snakes. Harry Potter then found that there are killing. soon harry potter found the chamber of secrets and killed tom riddle- voldemort.

i can connect this with lots of other books because it is about adventure. many other books i have read are about adventure.

i think the theme of this wook is adventure because HP goes on to a dangerous adventure in this book

harry potter was the boy who escaped lord voldemort, he is brave and courageous and never fails to take up a challenge.
