Many Moons
Imagine if your daughter could only get better from being sick if she had the moon on a special necklace. This is exactly what happens to the main characters and his servants in the book “Many Moons” by James Thurber. The King was observing Lenore his daughter because it had looked to him that she has gotten ill. The story “Many Moons” is highly unrealistic through the whole story, characters, and the lesson of the story.
In the story “Many Moons” by James Thurber follows the Irony form of literature. “Many Moons” starts out with a conflict that the daughter of the king is sick and ill. The King the main character is trying to get and help her feel better. However Lenore says that she will feel better if she has the moon. Now the King knows a way to help his daughter feel better. Soon the conflict is somewhat realized but the king is worried. When night time comes he is worried that Lenore will see the moon and think the one on her golden necklace is fake. That is when he realized that he could try to stop it. After all he did whatever he could do but he’s still worried about even now. Finally the king and the servants have made her not sick anymore and the can live happily ever after.
Although the story was important in some place some more than others there was a classic tale of helping a princess, making her happy, and saving her. The classic story follows the plot line, characters, and symbols. The Lesson of the story was not the best one because of the king lying to his daughter but after all she did get a nice necklace. There was symbolism; one of them would be Kingdom because those were they live. Also in this story the king is really worried about this daughter.
As you can see that the plot line clearly fits the Irony mode of literature. As you can see that the story fits the mode of literature and very clearly tells another happy ever after story. Even while the king has worries the story turns out alright. With him, his servants, and his daughter they got throw it and happily ever after.

Trip of a lifetime
About two years ago my family and I had gone to Disney World and a Cruise ship. We had split the days in half so we went to Disney 3 day and Cruise 4 days. We were so excited to be going on a another Cruise and also going back to Disney. So that night before the trip no one could sleep so they stayed up all night. That next morning we were all packed and ready to go. Were ready for the plane, and off the other trip to the happiest place on earth Disney World.
When we had got to the airport it was really early in the morning like 6:00 am for a Monday. While it was fun to me my other family members were doing great also, so finally we had got there we knew we were going to have a blast. We taken a bus to Epcot one of the four parks that Disney has to offer. Even though the bus makes me kinda sick on the way it was fun when we got there. While we take in the beautiful surroundings we had to get unpacked first. Were done!, we first had to go to Magic Kingdom. That park is the most fun to me because of its big rides and many, many rides. But before we had went we looked and it said that Space Mountain and a different one that i can't remember was closed and under repair. That sucked :( so we went on other ones that were really cool like Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, and others but it couldn't last now its off to the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship.
It was about an 1 1/2 drive to get there from the bus but it was worth it. It was so cool like when you got there they said your family's name on the loud speaker awesome! When we were ready to come to the welcomes party. It was going to be on the sky deck but it was raining so it was indoors. The fun is just getting started and while after wards there was different hings that you could do such as Ping Pong, Pools, Slides, Arcades, and much more. It went by really fast and that stuck but it was really going really well. While my family would do something else I was almost every day there playing Ping Pong. I won almost all the games. Well now the 7 days are up we got two go back home and start school but the trip was really fun.
When we had arrived to the Orlando Airport we were bummed that we had to go home. When the flit back to Milwaukee was a long 2 1/2 hours we enjoyed Disney and the Cruise so much. Actually were going back this year go to go one 4 days first to the Cruise, the new one the Disney Dream, and then Disney for the next three and then go home and maybe do it again some other time.

Go-Karts
Go-Karts are so much fun to so much people because they are so fun and if you have experience you can do all of these cool tricks like the one that I do is the 360* and that can be really but really dangerous. If you can get a track or just on plain grass you can do amazing stunts too. I have had good experience and bad experience if you ever see a tree in front of you look before you turn the other way, I will just say that.

NCAA Championship
March Madness is the time for college basketball. I don't really know a lot about basketball at all but a lot people have been saying all different people but I think that Kansas will make it into the championship will be Texas playing them. I think that the score will be Kansas-62 and Texas-67. Even though I'm not really good at doing this stuff I think that these are the teams that will make it into the championship and the team that will win it all. .

Professor of Smells
Imagine if your husband went to go gamble and he lost all of his money and didn’t tell you. In the story “Professor of Smells” by Richard Cohen there was a family that was doing just that without anyone knowing but the Husband. With the people in the family not knowing it was going on. If you would compare that to your family or your life that would be awful and irresponsible. Even though this story is realistic there are some similarities not only between characters and I but it can also be related to things going on in the book and life.
In the book “Professor of Smells” the main character Chung and I are alike but also different in our own ways. An example would be that we both like to gamble, but I just do it for fun and not for money. However he should tell his wife about the money that’s missing. Chung doesn’t want to let his family know that the money is missing and not getting any money to bring home. If my father or husband I would feel divested if I would find out before he would tell me. On the other hand we are both different and same in our ways. One important way were different is that I would tell family and people if something like this would happen and he didn’t yet. Before this gets out of hand Chung should tell his family.
Although Chung and I have similarities in the story we are very different, even though some people do this today we should learn just talk to our family if things like this or anything bad would happen. In our world today people still gamble and sometimes it gets out of hand and then people wouldn’t like to share what happened to family. Even though the short story is the same it teaches you what to do and what not to do. This is just not smart telling your family what happened. So you can see that these to gambling is almost the same but gambling teaches you a lesson that is, you can lose or win and if you don’t win you can’t just ask for money back.
In conclusion, while I can relate myself to the main character and the story is realistic because they describe about. If you would have to compare your life to Chung you would realize that you would have to help you family not keep secrets. Richard Cohen wrote this book and he made a statement about that if you’re in this position you should do the right thing and not steal from wife and tell your family if things didn’t go right anything anytime.

Tuesday of the Other June
In the story Tuesday of the Other June by Norma Fox Mazer it discusses and it’s how meeting someone new isn’t how you would think it would turn out. This poor girl called June has been being bullied by another kid named also June. If you were in this position what would you do and how would you do it? While these two don’t get along its right to have a right to fight back and if you would get in this position you should listen to this and see what position June is in when she is getting bullied.
In the story Tuesday of the Other June the main character names are two people named June. The one that’s getting picked on has family members named April (Mom) and May (Grandmother). While this is really affecting her she has only talked to her parents she needs to tell other people like older people adults. Personal life is going good she has been having a good time in life until the Swimming classes and school. In school she hasn’t been treated nice or kind like me sometimes. This shouldn’t be tolerated and should stop as soon as possible. While in my life I get picked on its different what she does and what I do. For her she runs home as fast as her feet take her and go to her mom. Even thought I don’t do that I described what I would do in the later. While our life have the same is common is this stage we parents and friends should try to cheer her up and help her and stop the bullying. Though we both do it in different ways we both have the same thing in common what that thing is that being bullied. Secondary it’s really bad that people do this to her. To being this, this isn’t even right to be happening.
After and during the swimming classes she had been getting picked on, teased, and being badly bullied and teaming up against her. I’ve been in this position many times and I have had experience so I will help out people and this little girl. The thing that had struck me is that June and Parents had moved because it was too hard for June to handle it, but they moved to the same school that the other June went too. In the first place you would have to see if the bullying kept on going. Then if it keeps on going what June should have done is warn a teacher, councilors, and people you know but don’t spread it around the community or area. Another to take this would be to have a talk with both girls both June’s and ask why she is doing this to June? This is another way June could have taken this a had a good outcome.
Even though she did fight back not by bullying her back she had learned to sometimes just let it go I would say. While she is still living in the same school and the same area of June, June has realized that to stand up for herself and have a good time. Finally after the story wraps up the whole thing is resolved.
