Moosebutter

Moosebutter just did their own version of 'Star Wars'! I like it! Let us compare. This one is by a guy named Corey Vidal. He was lip-singing it.





This one is the actual group called moosebutter.





Don't you wish there was an episode 7? It would be really cool.

So which version is your favorite? I like the moosebutter one the best. So, there's 9 days 16 hours and 30 seconds till Christmas, and counting. Until next time, good bye.

I Want.....


What do I want for Christmas? Well, I want... Look on http://www.moosebutter.com/ click on songs, and then click on the arrow next to "I Want..."

I'm kidding. I might want a Ferrari to match my shoes, but I am more interested on other things. I want Bionicles, (especially the Axalara T9), and Prince Caspian, and Clone Wars, and Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, and Heroscape.

I might not get all these things, but I will get some, maybe.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! 19 days, 16 hours, 38 min, and 5 sec.
Bye!

Day After Thanksgiving

The day after Thanksgiving so far: I woke up and read a book for a little bit, then got out of bed. Dad went to the store. I was thinking, "I have a lot of school to do." I did. So I got my science done in no tome at all. So I thought I could do this easily. Our family had pie for breakfast because it was after Thanksgiving. I had pumpkin pie. Then Dad came home, and he got Shrek the Halls! It is a Christmas Video! And it is only 1 day after Thanksgiving! So we watched it.

So now I have this countdown thing going on!

That was my day after Thanks giving so far. I am going to go either do school or play.

Shakespeare

WHO IS THE BEST LEADER: BRUTUS, CASSIUS, OR ANTONY?
Joseph Lewis
In William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”, there are three great leaders: Brutus, Cassius, and Antony. But which one shows true leadership? They all have strengths and weaknesses. Which one would I follow?
Brutus was one of Caesar’s friends, and he is a very popular nobleman. People respected him. But he was influenced by other people too easily. In the play, Cassius got him to join the conspiracy by praising him. Brutus thought that if he killed Caesar, the people would still like him. I wouldn’t want to follow him because that makes him untrustworthy.
Cassius was an experienced war leader, he was smart, and he was persuasive. He got all the members of the conspiracy to be in it through different ways. An example is when he gets Brutus to join the conspiracy through flattering. He did sound good, but he had bad qualities also- he whined. Whining shows immaturity. So when things weren’t going good, he quits. Also, in the play, when he saw the war was lost, he killed himself. Not my choice of leader.
Antony was a great speaker because he spoke what was the truth. He was also a war leader. In the play, he allied with Octavius and won the battle. But he was dishonest. He tried to cheat the people out of their inheritance of Caesar’s will. He also kills senators to cheat the people out of the inheritance.
Each of them had bad qualities, and at first, I didn’t know who to choose. A good leader won’t be untrustworthy, he wouldn’t be a quitter, and he shouldn’t be dishonest. Marc Antony is most like this. He is a great guy, (other than killing senators). I would follow Marc Antony.

What a Relief!


Yay!!! Bionicle doesn't end this year! The picture is all of the Toa Nuva (on the bottom), and the Makuta (the top). The Makuta are the bad guys. I got Legends #11 (the last Legends book)in the beginning of November. I was thinking, "This is the last book and the end of Bionicle. Mata Nui is going to be awakened." So I was right. Mata Nui was awakened, but not in the way I thought it would be. The Toa Nuva came back to Metru Nui, and were praised. But then, a rush of wind came, and the stars made up the Mask of Shadows! Makuta, their arch nemisis is controlling the universe! Ahh!!! In space, the Mask of Life is holding the true mind of Mata Nui, traveling somewhere, saying, "I will return."
So 2009's Bionicles are the Glatorians. The new series is called Bionicle Quests. This is the storyline.
· The Mask of Life, possessed by the Great Spirit Mata Nui, is sent hurtling through the space between dimensions by Makuta - and it's up to a new generation of Toa to get it back. In the desert realm of Mazra Nui, the Glatorians of the 6 tribes, aided by the Toa Nuva, the Turaga Metru, the mighty warrior Tuma, and six brave Matoran, must battle against Skirmix, the son of Makuta, and his beastly "pet", Fero, to retrieve the mask and save the Matoran Universe. But what is the secret of Bara Magna, the Toa of Light in an ancient team of heroes?
We will find out in 2009! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until next time, Bye!

Shakespeare

MOB RULE
Joseph Lewis
The definition of Mob Rule is when a mob or gang has control of a place or government. They are often violent, making everyone go their way through fear tactics and intimidation. A mob is an out-of-control crowd. A gang is a group of people that just want to be tough. But can any good come from mob rule? Let’s find out.
The Sons of Liberty could be considered a mob. They were inspiring to some, but they were violent in their actions. For example, they burned the governor’s house, dumped tea into the harbor, and hung effigies from the Liberty Tree. The people saw them as heroes, but the British and Tories saw them as a mob.
It is never a good thing to make someone do what you want them to do by using force. That is taking away agency. Mob Rule occurred during Joseph Smith’s time when mobs were persecuting the saints in Missouri. The mobs took the Saints out of their homes and burned the houses, took some church leaders, including Joseph Smith, to jail and drove the Saints out of Missouri in the middle of winter. The governor of Missouri gave the mob permission to do whatever it takes to expel the Mormons. That was a horrible thing from my point of view.
Gangs are one of the modern day mobs. Gang members just want to be tough and controlling of others and territory. They have no purpose for their violence except to be powerful. They are just bad.
Satan is the great imitator and he copies all of Heavenly Father’s gifts to us. The greatest gift is family. Satan imitates families by making gangs look like they will accept you, but if you don’t do what they want, they beat you up, or worse they will shoot you.
The difference between a mob and a gang is: a mob does acts with a purpose, and a gang just is trying to be powerful. The Sons of Liberty is debatable, but, in my opinion, they were inspiring. Gangs are just bad. In conclusion, mobs can be good or bad, depending on what your point of view is, and what they are doing.
