Art Block Entry

This year in drama we are doing the play of William Shakespeare called "A Mid-summer night Dream." I play the part of Snoute(wall), Cobweb, and light assistant. Snoute is the an actor, the wall, and he is important because he let the two lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, talk and see eachother. In this play there is, before starting the play, the magic creatures who put a love potion on the eyes on people, trying to get the situation better, but then we discover that they only made the situation worst. The situation is worse because some people get angry that their lovers love another person.
The story finishes with the play, Pyramus and Thisbe. Thisbe dies and Pyramus suicide for her love. I like very much my role in the play because its important and I don't have many lines to memorize. This play will be excellent if everybody will challenge theirselves. 153

Science Entry

This quarter in science we studied electricity and magnetism. Magnetism is the attraction of a magnet for another object. Any magnetics two ends, a positive and a negative, wich are called poles. Magnetic poles that are alike, like south and south repel while the unlike, like north and south, attract eachothers. A material that is attract by a magnet is called ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic materials are: iron, nickel and cobalt. If you brake a magnet in half there will always be two poles. The magnetic rock is called magnetite.89
In the electric chapter of the science book we studied electricity, expecially circiuts. The two main circuits are parallel and series. Parallel are better because electricity have two streets to pass so if one blow out the other don't. Series circuits instead have only one path, this means that if onwe blow out all blow out.147

When he rised to power people called him Fuhrer, wich ment the guide. After some years Hitler made a peace treaty with the socialist Benito Mussolini. He was Italian and he then became Nazi with Hitlers treaty. 101
In 1939 Hitler occupied Poland and killed many people. His racial laws were against jewish. LL jewish would then go in concentration camps where they would be killed.
