The new king of england.

you guessed it I'm going to be talking about my thoughts on RICHARD THE LIONHEARTED.


so ya Richard the lionhearted wanted to take Jerusalem back from Saladin so he set of with the king of France at the duke of Austria but to bad for him cause guess what? he and the king of France quarreled a lot.. soon the king of France decided it would be easier to go back to France than to keep on dealing with Richard. so he left. And then Richard got mad at having the duke of Austria fly his flag next to his own. After all he thought. He was the king and the duke of Austria only a duke. so he made his men take down the flag and through it into the mud and so what do you know? the duke left too. Now Richard had lost all of his allies. So he never got to Jerusalem.  and his brother was trying to take over his throne But on his way back home he took a shortcut through Austria and ran right into the duke of Austria who imprisoned him. there was a lot more but that is the most interesting part.

Science Video Blog of the week (:

Hello so today I watched a Ted Ed Video her is what I learned from it it was about what makes food spicy: 

So why Does Wasabi make you cry?

And black paper make your mouth burn? her are my answers: 

SO before I start even tough humans say "It tastes Spicy" Spicy is not actually a tase. 

Instead what's really happing that The certain compounds in spicy food activate the type of sensory Nerons called Polymodal  Nociceptors.  You have these all over your body,  Including your mouth and nose.  And they are the same receptors that are activated in extreme heat,  So for example when you eat a Chili Pepper Your moth feels like its burning  because your brain actually thinks it is. (:  The opposite happens when you eat something with mentonal in it this cool minty compound.  It's activating your cold reseptors.  When these heat sensitive receptors are activated your body really thinks its mouth is burning which is Kinda crazy in my opinion.  SO it reacts accordingly as if it is in contact with a dangerous heat source.  This is why you start to sweat and your heart starts beating faster.  But not all spicy foods are spicy in the same way.  And the difference lies in the types of compounds.   The  capsaicin and  piperine found in black and chili peppers  are made up of larger heavier compounds called  Alkyladmides and those mostly stay in your mouth. but mustard horseradish and wasabi are made up of smaller molecules called isothiocyanates. that easily flow up into your nose.  This is why black pepper burns your mouth and wasabi burns your nose.

CHAPTER ONE  (THE NEW KID HA)

                                                                                            Thursday                                                

Dear First   grade journal,  GUESS WHAT 

PEOPLE!  I even made up  a song about this particular event: "A new kid is coming to Room 

one, a NEW kid a NEW kid, and HA I'm gonna be her bestest  fryend   friend" And its a buet of a

 song I tell you.  Me and My best friend Herb, are going to be her bestest friends see if we don't. She Is supposed to come to school Tomorrow! 

Tomorrow I tell you. 

P.S. Today Mr. Scary said we are going to have an A 'noncment from the principal. I am not Quite joyis 

joyous about this happening. 

I put down my pencil and began humming silently to myself, Cause guess what humming silently is not even against the rules. hardly. Only what do you know? May heard me and opened her big mouth to tattle when suddenly she stopped and began counting to twenty. Counting to twenty is what she has to do when she starts thinking about tattling. She leaned close and whispered to me "Don't you ruin this day for me Junie B." I am not quite found of May she is not my favorite kind of specimen.

Only what do you know A few moments later I coulden't help whispering to May

 "I'm going to be The new girls bestest friend! Me and Herb are going to be the new kids bestest friends. And guess what dumb May Guess what? Your not going to be Hah!" 

This time May could not help herself. Not that she usually does. She slammed down her journal and boom exploded out of her chair and zoomed to the front of the room 

"Mr. Scary Mr. Scary Junie B. Called me dumb and Keeps whispering to me that she is going to be best Friends with the new kid and I'm...-" Mr. Scary Who was at his desk looking at papers, Interrupted May "May, We've already discussed this to many times, this is getting old" May finished her sentence and added some more to it "-not going to! and Mr. Scary She should not be talking during writing time! Mr. Scary I'm tired of having to tattle, Looky here Mr. Scary If you think I enjoy tattling you are.. mostly mistaken! Somebody has to keep control of Junie!" "B May B! JUST WHEN I THOUGHT YOU WHERE GETTING IT YOU HAVE TO MESS UP" I hollered real loud. Then I put my hand over my mouth speedy quick. Because that was a mistake I tell you. Mr. Scary Took a deep breath  and an aspirin and led May out of the room. Phew I thought cause that was a Close one I tell you. Only to bad for me cause just then Mr. Scary and May Came back into the room and While May got to go back to her seat Mr. Scary led me out of the room. And that is just plain not fair I tell you.  Mr. Scary Told me to please stop bugging May and to stop talking about me being best friends with the new kid with and May not being friends with her. I could not believe it "Yeah only that's the dumbest thing I ever heard. On account that I can not even help myself hardly  from telling May about Me and the New kid being besties." Mr. Scary took One deep big breath and then led me back into room one.  I ran back to my seat speedy quick and sat down before Mr. Scary even had a chance to sit in his seat."Ha I cried I won I won!" Mr. Scary sat down and took an aspirin. Just then Principal walked in. And All of room one cried out "HELLO PRINCIPAL HELLO!" Room one is great at crying out He looked at us kinda funny and then began his 'nouncment 

"Boys, And girls all of room one is Invited to go to a Field trip to the Aquarium, Make sure to bring snacks are there any questions? it will be on this Friday" And that apparently was the end of his 'nouncment. Only guess what I don't exactly favor Aquariums on account that Paulie Allen Puffer once said that Aquariums have shark that with rip you into shreds. And that boy is a genius I tell you. Also he said that there are sting rays that will sting you into smoke. And I am not looking forward to those experiences I believe.  I raised my hand real slow He called on me "Well I actually would not exactly like to go so there" He frowned at me and replied "Junie B. This is not a yes or no innovation, everyone in room one must come unless they are sick or have some other important reasons not to attend. you can't just simply now want to go. It will be fun." I rolled my eyes at that funny Man cause sometimes adults don't make any sense I tell you. "Any other questions?" he asked after a long awkward pause. May raised her hand and hollared real loud "Principal! Principal! I waited! yes I did I waited till you asked again to raise my hand, I am such a good pupil" I studied May for a good long second cause that girl was a wonder I tell you. "Okay May, that's very nice of you, now what is your question." May Hollared out even louder this time "I'm HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY ROOM ONE A BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! IT IS ON SATURDAY AND EVERYONE HAS TO COME!!!!" Principal frowned No body cheered on account that no one was very fond of May.  She is just plain cuckoo I tell you. And that is not even name calling. that is the truth. She began to hand out plain old white envelopes to everyone and she even handed one to me  not that I was going to go to her stupid dumb old party. On account that me and May are not the best of friends. When she handed me a invatation She leaned real close and whispered in my ear "I am only giving you this Invatation Junie B. Because I am fair. And I am so fair and nice." She spit a tinsy bit In my ear when she said that. I made a gross face at her on account that spit in your is unacceptable I tell you.  

Chapter Two ( It's NOT fair) 

It's not fair mother found the invitation in my backpack. And that is called spying I tell you. And I am not even allowed to spy on account that last time I did I scared Grandma Miller To the core. Its not fair. I hid that thing in there real good. And now Mother is making me go. First the aquarium and now dumb Mays birthday this has not been My best day before the weekend I tell you. Only just then I remembered something. The New kid is coming tommorow and me and her will be besties. I did a sigh real happy and that pleasant thought. 

Its morning its morning! I jumped on my mother and daddy bed real happy "Wake up SleepyRoundies WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Mother put a pillow over her face and groaned "Junie B. School is not for another hour. Go back to bed Now" "Yeah only guess what mother guess what?? that's the dumbest thing I ever heard on account that my head is awake and I am not to experienced on putting that thing back to sleep"  I hollered real loud. Mother did a sigh. And I hopped out of that room real jumpy. Cause guess what people guess what?? The New girl will be at school today the new girl the new girl! Me and her will be best friends I tell you. I Sat down on my bed and played with my raggedy Ann doll and Raggedy Larry doll. Then I picked up Phillip Johnny bob and me and him had a real long conversation. His voice sounded just like mine I tell you what a coincidence.

"Hey Junie B. I can't wait for us to go to school and be best friends with the new kid! Lets go now" he said real happy

"Yeah only Mother and daddy won't wake up on account that school does not start for another hour. And you already now that toys are not allowed at school. On account that last time I brought Raggedy Ann, last year Crybaby William chewed her good hand off with his teeth.  AND MRS Got MAD at me not William.  She said that their are no toys allowed at school." I said real glum.

"Yeah Only I'm not a toy! I'm Phillip Johnny Bob! How come I'm not allowed how come?"

I looked at him for a good long while "Well I tried telling mother and daddy that, but they said no. Grown ups just don't make sense sometimes." I said real slow

We both nodded at that one cause those last words where genius I tell you! 


Hurry for breakfast hurry! cause guess what people guess what? after Breakfast comes school! And SCHOOL mean New girl. New girl and me besties. 

I waited for the bus with mother real patient, real patient means jumping up and down and Hollering 
"HULLO BUS CAN YOU HEAR ME?? cause your taking a real long while mister. Hello!! its me Junie B. Bus!"

Mother held me down and told me to please stop screaming. "Yeah only I was not screaming I was hollering and there is a real difference their madam." 

 Mother did a sigh a real long one this time. I do not understand that woman. Hurry FOR SCHOOL BUS'S cause guess what huh guess what people? THE SCHOOL BUS BRINGS YOU TO SCHOOL and at SCHOOL there is the NEW KID!! I waved goodbye to mother real sweet but she locked her eyes with mine I tell you and said "Junie B. Be a good girl today a school Don't do anything out of the ordinary okay? and be good at the aquarium!" "Okay Mother gotcha. A ok Only I don't think I'll be going to the aquarium today on account that I do not favor sharks." I hollered at her real loud. Mother did a sigh. "Yeah only that was not even out of the ordinary since I holler a real good lot" Mother groaned and walked back towards the house. 


I could not sit still on the school bus my legs where all squirmy and I tell you those things would not stop moving, and its not my fault at all people. So its not fair that Mr. Woo my buss driver yelled at me to sit down. Some things are just not fair these days on account that Mother and Mr. Woo have been a bit of what I call being mean to me Junie B. FOR No reason at all. At that is just plain unfair I tell you.



Chapter Three (The new Kid)


The bus stopped and guess what people guess where we are?? huh guess where we are? A STUPID DUMB GAS STATION!!! This is against the rules I tell you!! Mr. Woo apologized and said this was a rare emergency scenario. JUST ON THE DAY I ACUTALLY WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL we have to fill up gas. That is just plain not fair I tell you. I tried Hollering real to Mr. Woo " Mr. Woo Mr. Woo yeah only that's the dumbest thing I ever heard! On account that I need to go to school now because me and The new kid are going to be besties that's why! WE CAN'T WE CAN'T MISTER WE Just can't stop in this stupid smell gas station pull this bus right out of here and lets go to School." Mr. Woo looked at me kinda funny and then got off the bus. Phooey. So much for that effort. Only just then a tinsy idea popped into this genius brain of mine. I smiled real happy and then Hollered real loud "Everybody on this bus start hollering MOVE THE BUS MOVE THE BUS on the count of three" I waited nobody said anything so I counted "1, 2, 3," Then I Hollered real loud "MOVE THE BUS!!!" but nobody joined in with me so I Hollered even louder "COME ON CHILDREN HOLLER I TELL YOU NOW!" Herbert my best friend poked me on the shoulder and said "Junie B. -" But then I cut him off because I had another genius idea "Herb how bout you Holler real loud huh how bout it?" I told him real nice. He looked grumpy at me "Junie B. Listen nobody want's to holler with you cause gas station stops are quick and speedy that's why." I looked at that boy real funny cause he was another one of the wonders in my life I tell you. Just like mother, and Mr. Scary. And May. Oh and baby Ollie too. Only Ollie does not talk so much and when he does he only says Moo. He is not much fun. I love him very much I just wish he did not actually live with me In the same house I mean. I replied to Herb real slow "Really Huh? No kidding?" He nodded He still looked grumpish. So I sat down in my seat and waited. ONLY WHAT DO YOU KNOW??? Mr. Woo came on the bus lickdy splits Lickdy Splits is a grownup word for speedy quick. And we drove off! we are on our way to school hooray hooray! Hooray for Lickdy splits! 

Where here we are here! We are here at the SCHOOL and guess what?? I think I see the new girl! I think I do only guess what I see. I see Lucille taking to her. I Run out of that bus speedy quick, and ran to were those two stood. "Lucille what do you think your doing talking to the new girl huh what do you think your doing do you not remember? Me and her are going to be besties not you and her! You already have Camille and Chenille." Lucille fluffed  her dress real sweetly at patted her shiny hair  and then spoke all sweet and sunny " Oh did I not tell you Junie B.? My Cousin is the New kid who is moving in! I was just telling her about you! Her name is Judy B. Jackson. Is  is that not just the funniest thing you ever heard huh? is it not? cause Judy B. And Junie B. sound almost alike and her middle name is Beatrice just like you But she goes but B. Just like you!" I looked at Lucille a good long second then I moved my gaze to The new kid, and wow wow wowie she was practically the identical version of me expect her hair was blondish and her eyes bluish. She even wore purple glasses just like me! We looked at each other for a second and started laughing. This friendship is off to a good start I tell you. "We look practically identical on account are faces are the same exact color!" she nodded at that And laughed "We do we do!" Then I asked her if she wanted to be besties and she said she would think about it so but she thought she was not quite ready to have a bestie yet. Now I had a Bestie The new girl was my Bestest friend practically. All three of us all walked to room one real happy, Only she had to go up and talk to Mr. Scary and then Mr. Scary assigned her a seat and introduced her to the class her seat was miles away from mine. It's not fair I tell you Mr. Scary Is not fair. Mr. Scary Made an announcement he said the Aquarium was today only that was not even a new announcement. I heard that particular one yesterday and I am not fond of it. He said that we would be going to there right before recess I cried out at that one cause that one was not fair I tell you "Yeah only thats the dumbest thing I ever heard you can't skip recess on account that recess is my favorite time of the day in school. Mr. Scary laughed only this was not a laughing moment I tell you so I don't know why he did. "Junie B. A field trip is like a longer recess. only with sharks and other amazing water creatures although most of them are fish." I did like the sound of that expect for the word sharks. On account that fish are not scary, only boring. But sharks however are Scary. 


Chapter four (The SCARY aquarium)

So far I hav not favored the aquarium there are To many fish I I do not bother to listen to Mr. Scary explaining the different types cause who wants to know the different types! Fish are Fish and Fish are boring. Sharks however are not. they are very scary. I do not know which on of these two things I would prefer more. I Imagined The war Between boring and Evil. Evil won every time cause how can Boring win? Huh how can it? Then I Imagined the war between Baby Bunny's GOOD and SHARKS BAD I wish I had not imagined that happing unless.... Sharks were specks and The bunny had fins and big chopering teeth...."Junie B. are you listing to what I am saying? Junie B. we where just learning about the different types of sharks they have in this aquarium. where about to head over to that exhibit now okay?" I did not do an okay back. "Junie B. Do you want me to tell you mother about this?-" "Oh no you can't you can't on account that she says if I get one more letter for my teacher she will send me to the police and I am not looking forward to that particular happing! Oh Mr. Scary don't tell please!!! on account if you did you would be breaking the rules!" I hollered real loud. Mr. Scary chuckled and then looked grumpish at me "Junie B. I need you to listen okay?" I nodded real quick. He said good and then we went of to see the scary sharks. 

Only when we got there I still was not paying attention so to bad for me Mr. Scary caught me yawing and taping and he came over to me very cross. "Hello How are you today? Very good thank you" I said real pleasant Mr. Scary did not Smile or Chuckle this time he told me that this was the last straw little girl and then I listened oh I did real good to what he said only it made me shiver and go  trembley cause sharks are just plain out scary I tell you. Finally a shark came out to meet room one and it was tiny I looked it real funny but since me and Mr. Scary and I are not on the best of terms. I did not ask him why. I sorta liked this little shark I was not even scared of it hardly. Judy B. Jackson Raised her hand and Mr. Scary called on her "Mr. Scary I have a question, why is the shark so small?" I looked at that girl cause me and her have the same sort of brains too apparently. "Because Judy B. There are all different sizes of sharks that little shark there is actually a Dwarf Lantern shark there the smallest species of shark" Mr. Scary said real happy about his knowledge. 

Turns out I don't mind the aquarium the fish are boring but some of the sharks are cute and tinsy and not scary hardly. Only just then I remembered "OH NO OH NO the sting rays that  sting you into smoke oh no oh no !!" I cried out real scared Mr. Scary laughed at that one. "Actually the sting rays here can't sting but there exhibit is unfortunately closed today so we won't be going to see the sting rays this time." Phew I exhaled real happy cause that was a Close one I tell you. 

Chapter 5 The party Preparing  (boo hoo)  

The aquarium was a hoot I tell you only when I got home mother said that we had to go birthday present shopping. I looked at her kinda happy 

"Is it my birthday? huh mother is it cause I would love a birthday present or two!" 

She groaned 
"No Junie B.  It's May's birthday remember? we are going tomorrow. 

 I groaned on account that just then I did remember. "Oh mother don't I don't want to go please please!" I said real sweetly


 "You said that about the aquarium too, and you ended up having a blast. You will have a great time I promise!"

 "Really? mother really cause I don't believe that will ever happen." Mother groaned  But we still ended up going to the store to get her a present. 

"How about this one?" Mother showed me a stuffed panda bear. "Or this one?" she showed me a brand new set of pencils. "How about neither?" I offered real polite. She did  another Groan. She is very groanish today.  "Junie B. just pick something." mother cried to me "I already told you what I want to get May" I said real very quarralish 

 "There is no way I am going to let you give one of your class mates a disinfectant spray." 

"Why not mother its perfect! May needs to be disinfected!" Mother groaned Finally mother bought the pencils and we left the store she was real grouchy at me. "Junie B. Next time your dad, is going to go present shopping with you okay honey?" only she did not say it in a nice way she said It in a sarcastic way. A Mean way. 

When we got home I ran up the stairs speedy quick to my room and told Phillip Johnny bob the news. he gasped when I told him the whole story we talked and talked but soon it got boring so I decided to pretend I was a birthday girl but soon that got boring too. This was going to be a boringish end of the day. 

At dinner Mommy and Daddy talked about the party, and they asked me loads of questions about the aquarium. But those topics where boring I tell you. And interest was not on my Side that evening not at all. 



Chapter 6 Awkward  

I did not wake up early on Saturday like on Friday. Infact I slept in quite a bit. ON PURPOSE only its not fair that daddy woke me up and told me to get ready for the party! which apparently was at 1 o clock. Humph no excitement came to me that morning that whole morning was not a very excitement filled morning. I weared my boring old clothes cause why should I dress up. It felt way too speedy quick on account that before I hardly knew it daddy was driving me to May's house which I am almost positive looks like a dump. 

It felt like only a few seconds but before I hardly knew it probably we where at May's house.  and what do you know it was a regular sort of house. May's mother greeted me and I said goodbye to daddy who drove off I sat there very glum with the present in my hand. I handed to May's mother "This is for your pesky little girl" I whispered into her ear hole. She looked at me kinda grouchy so I moved on and started looking for familiar faces. Familiar faces means friends. AND guess what I saw Judy B.! so I ran over to her speedy quick and said hello. she said hello back. she was not the most talkative type. "Well how are you today are you exited for dumb May's party?" She looked at me oddly "I hardly no May but I came cause all of room one came" I nodded that made sorta sense hardly.  We sat in 'kward silence for a good long while and then finally the party began.


Chapter 7 Dumb games. 

May was dressed up in a fluffy dress similar to Lucille's only fake when Lucilles was real. May announced that she was the boss and that all of room one listen to her. "Hello room one! you guys better listen to me or else!" Room one cried back "OR WHAT MAY" She looked uncomfortable and squirmed a bit that means she did not no or what. May's mother saved her and told us that we would start the party with games. On account that We played all sort of games and Judy B.  Jackson Won almost all of them. Boy that girl could play. wowie wow wow. I only won once. Then we did some crafts I drew some borings stuff. Judy B. however drew perfect drawings she was a pro I tell you. What could that girl not do. Turns out I found out. When Mrs. May (May's Mother) announced that they would be going into the other room to open presents. She could not bring a present. She whispered that secret to me real secret. I did not have a big fat clue of what to say but I had an Idea or two up my arm. "Why don't you go get some leaves and hand them to her?" Judy B. shook her head. "Why Don't you go get some grass and dirt and hand it to her?" Judy B. shook her head harder this time. "No Junie B. That would be mean!" "Serves May right!" "Maybe but May was not mean to me so I can't give her dirt but you can!" Judy B. said real pleased. I nodded. "I'll give you my gift to give to May And then I'll give her dirt!" I Smiled real happy cause I was a genius I tell you. Only there was a tinsy problem. "That's great where is your present to May, Junie B?" Judy B. Asked.   I sighed real sad "I gave it to Mrs. May. "You mean May's Mom?" Judy B. asked again. I nodded. "I saw where she put the present pile lets go sneak over there and get it!" Judy B. said real pleased. I clapped my hands real quiet. we sneaked out of there without anyone seeing us! I saw the present Pile in the other room and I tiptoed over there and wow wow wowie THERE WAS MY PRESENT! so I picked it up speedy quick and then gave it to Judy B. She crossed out the words FROM JUNIE B. and put from JUDY B. she also crossed out all the dumb stupid and Telltale words too. I don't know why she did that particular thing. then we ran out side licked splits and I grabbed some dirt. Then we sneaked back into that room speedy quick and know one even knew we where gone. 

Chapter Eight 8 (Presents)

All of room one was led into the other room. where the presents where and one by one may opened her presents. Jose made her a paper airplane. Herbert gave her a yoyo. Lennie gave her a pack of gel. And so on. Finally she was done opening presents. And her eyes where mad. she looked at everyone and then at Me and Judy B. She made her eyes into slits at us. "I"M MISSING TWO PRESENTS!" She hissed at us. Judy B. quickly walked up and gave May My old present. May did not say thank you she did not say thank you about any of the other presents either. And her parents did not even tell her too. Mine would go cuckoo if I did not say thank you. Finally it was my turn so I gave her my handful of dirt her face went all surprised then all grouchy and then she said all sarcastic. "Thank you Junie B. I really appreciate it" "Your Welcome" I said cause what do you know? I was the only one she said thank you to. Who knew May loved Dirt so much. And as Mother always says You learn something new every day. 

Chapter 9 (Cake and BESTIES) 

After presents we all ate cake. May kept giving me mean glances on the table. and only to bad for me cause I did not get any Cake on account that I was mean to Mrs. May's child. Humph its not fair on account that it was red velvet cake and that stuff is heavenly I tell you! It is also My favorite Kind of Cake and Cake is my Favorite kind of food. 

After Cake we played one more game of hopscotch and then it was time to rap up. Mother had said I would have a great time and she had said she promised but I had an worstest time ever I tell you. Only Just then Judy B. Jackson.  Ran up to me and tapped me on the shoulder and said "Hey Junie B. Remember when you asked me if I wanted to be besties huh remember?" I nodded "Well guess what? I think I am ready to have a bestie. and I think I want to you to be my best friend!" I smiled real happy "Of course you do!" We both smiled and linked arms. Then I quick asked her what her favorite color was and she replied "Purple" and Wowie wow wow cause purple was my favorite color too. 
See I told Me and the New kid would be bestest friends I told you! Turns out mother was right again.

THE END

History Blog of the week.

Hello SO The main thing I though was Interesting about the Chapter of history I read England After the conquest was that The Surfs lives, To me sounded better and more fulfilling than the Lords Or Kings lives.  The Surfs Lived IN huts with straw and there pigs and chickens lived with them (: that sounds fun! (As long as the pigs and Chickens wear diapers) The pigs and chickens had to live with them in the same hut, Even though they could build a hut for the pigs and chickens on there land there would be no safe way to heat it.  They Had gardens and little plots of lands. I mean that sounds like fun. While the lords lived in big stone castles.

The First kings of England my thought about it.

so hey guys um um today I am go--o-onnaa, tell you guys about my thoughts of the first kings of England.

1 its kind of annoying how England keeps getting taken over by new rulers,


2 including the vikinings, Alfred the great, Haroled the unfortunate and of course William the concorur.


3 it was interesting but sometimes I did not know who's side to be on.

the end.

The Islamic Invasion ( my thoughts about it )

The Islamic Invasion here are some things I thought about it:

1 I'ts definitely not fair that the some of the Visigoths picked, Rodigo do be king insted of the dead kings son's And if they had put one of the dead kings son's on the throne the whole Invasion would probably never of happend. Brothers killing each other for the throne Yes, but Invasion No. 

2 It was pretty stupid for the dead sons to ask the "Great Fighter" Tariq Bin Ziyad,to bring his armies to Spain, Even if they thought he might help them. I mean relly?? ehhm "O Great conqueror please bring you greatest armies into Spain to over through the king!"  did they really think he liked them more than the king? I mean really?? to him the king, and the to - be kings are in his way of MAKING himself/Islam Rulers the king/rulers of SPAIN. 

3 it's interesting how Tariq used to be a slave but then he became a general fighting for a side that had destroyed his land Beber ... but he did not really have a choice it like the people who took over Beber and captured him said   " Hey bud, you either fight for us.. or you die. (: " eventually he became a general and he started to have a better life, and life is better than the life of a slave practically.  

4 Also adding to comment 2 The Islamic empire or at least part of it was quite close to Spain, making it very simple to bring a LOT of soldiers over and very few of them died from starvation scurvy etc. the whole thing of inviting him over to there land was a perfect innovation ( for Invasion )  for him. In the starting most of the people respected him thinking he would bring back the rule of the kings son's but to bad for them cause that invasion let him have a perfect easy way to ATTACK!.

5 Also why did Rodrigo not imprison the princes? i mean sure there would of been rebellion but on his stand point of view why!! why why!! let them have right have the right to write a letter to the Islamic empire. I mean sure Rodrigo probably did not know they wrote a letter to Islam it it was probably top secret people that respected the sons more than the king probably helped the songs of the DEAD king. I mean the people that rebelled could have killed Rodrigo........and the people that respected the dead kings sons could have also tried to rebelled against him but if he got on the throne in the first place there must be plenty of people that like him? anyway the rock Tariq jumped on upon arriving in Spain is a monument today that is called the rock of gibraltar.

The end of most of my thoughts about the ISLAMIC INVASION. G-bye 

Sasha R. Cooper.

                                                        Chapter One (ME) my story.

Hello my real name is Sasha R. Cooper the R stands for Roberta.( but my family calls me Sadie ) I am a 8 month old ( In human years ) Chow Chow and I live on 23rd st IN New York. I live with the classic Coopers, they are like any other family except for one major difference, ME. no other family's has a dog quite like me okay fine maybe they do, but i'm convinced that I'm sharper than any other dog I know. Sharper is another word for smarter, one of my humans Claire is always saying that word and I guess I have begun to hear it so much that i'm using that word now, humph my mother would not be proud. then again unlike my older sister she was rarely proud of anything I did. when my sister fetched the ball she would always say

 "OH my darling Bella! sweetie that was the best fetch I have ever seen!"

 and when I fetched the ball ( the same way Bella did it if not better ) she would say 

" Oh Roberta not again you just can't get the run right" (She always called me by my middle name Roberta when she was mad at me.)

Really???? the run??

or when she was teaching us the HUMAN and Dog language which she had learned from her mom and her mom had learned it from her mom and so on... You see Dogs can learn languages 65 times faster than humans so we could learn Human language (our mom had said it was required to learn so we could know what our owners wanted) (Even though some of us dogs still decide to ignore our owners) and Dog language which was quite easy to learn and came quite naturally, we could learn both languages practically fluently in 3 weeks. ) anyway ill tell you more about do language and how it works later. When Bella preformed her ABC's and her DDD's (Dog language) our mother would praise her like crazy saying "Oh how perfect sweetie you know both too well oh oh all the tastiest treats in the world you can say your ABC's and your DDD's better than those treats taste" and when I said my ABC's and DDD's she would say gruffly "Sasha R. WHY oh why can't you say those letters right" Johnny and Max my younger brothers said there ABC's and there DDD's worse than I did so at least that was comforting but they where whole 6 minutes younger than me. and my mother said practically the same thing she said to me about my performance but she was a bit nicer to them it was ridicules I had said my ABC's and my DDD's way better Both Bella and Johnny and Max. Really mom really???

 I used to always get really fed up with her but now I live with the Coopers and this is my story, every dog that has a home and human family has a story to tell about how they came to live with that particular family, for instance long story short my best friend Coco ( she is a border terrier mix ) was adopted. She used to live in the streets of Houston, Texas, but the adoption people got her and a whole bunch of other dogs put them in crates- ( I'm assuming you know what crates are ) -and flew them to New York and then her family found her at the adoption center and adopted her, Like I said long story short. My other friend Maya  ( she is a pure bred pedigree lowchen ) was picked up by a family at her breeders home. long story short. I like her was picked up at up at a breeders home here is my story:


I was born four blocks away from the Coppers house, in fact my breeders kid (Ruby) was best friends with on of my humans now, his name is Daniel. He is very boyish. Ruby was the sweetest girl I ever met in my life other than My humans now of course. She was very girlish. She was so loving and ooing and ahhing at us. And best of all unlike my mom, she loved me more than my older sister Bella or my two younger brothers Johnny and Max. Johnny and Max fetched even worse than I do according to my mother if you where wondering. Anyway, as I was saying I was born on a freezing cold January Afternoon, 4 minutes after Bella, Johnny and Max where born around 6 minutes after me, Max was born a minute after Johnny. If you are wondering if I liked Johnny or Max more my answer would be that I liked them equally, but Max was just a teeny bit nicer than Johnny. Anyway when Bella Was born our breeders ( Jane & Thomas Thompson ) had gasped Bella was a Gorgeous Blue/Silver Chow chow, When I was born I was a Bright Red chow not as gorgeous. But Jane and Thomas still had ooed at me. But when Max and Johnny where born-, Johnny was a Pure pitch black Chow Chow and Max Was A practically Crystal cream/white chow chow the two of them had looked just like a Ying Yang when had they russelled each other. -Jane and Bill had not said a word but as my mother had put it there eyes and smiles said it all. My mother is A Cinnamon Chow chow and even though I never met my dad my mother told me he was a handsome Pitch Black Chow chow just like Johnny. Anyway We grew up at our Jane and Bills house they had two children, Ruby a red haired beauty, who I already told you about and Charles who I never met but Mother had told us about, She said he had been a boisterous Black haired boy, he was in collage by the time I was born. Anyway we grew up in there /our temporary house long story short till we where 8 weeks old. Then We all found are forever Family's, mother had told us when we where still tiny pups that we wouldn't live with her for very long so we where all prepared for having a new family. Anyway, Beautiful Bella stayed with Mom and the Thompson's, Johnny and Max where taken home by a Family called the Sparrows, or as Max would say it the sparraws'. The sparrows had two Twin girls I believe there names where Tracy and Tara anyway they had been no older than 6 or 7 when they came to take Johnny and Max home. I still remember to this day 4 months later how Excited Johnny and Max had been to get to have a family of two twin girls . Johnny ended up being Tracy's puppy and Max ended up being Tara's puppy. It had been quite a sight seeing Bright Blonde haired twin Tracy with Pitch black Johnny and Dark Black haired twin Tara with White/Cream colored Max. We had all said our goodbyes and before we had known it Johnny and Max where off to go live with their new family the Sparrows (who lived in Vermont very far from NY. I still miss them to this Day.) Anyway I remember thinking that finally It was my turn to find a forever family, and that's when the Coopers all 9 of them stepped through ( Well baby Owen was in Mom Coopers stomach at the time as I had learned shortly after being brought to the Coopers home, our home) the Thompson's Bright Red front door. The first one of them to come pet me was Fern, and she is who am closest to to this very day. Oh how I love that fern from her long brown pigtails to her sweet smelling breath. She had hugged me and kissed me and had kept whispering in my ear that they where going to bring me home, I still remember to this day how sweet and soft and exiting her voice had sounded, a New home! My new home!  I had kept licking her sweet smelling face (With my blue tongue which only Chow Chows have and mother is very proud of that) her sweet skin was so delicious to lick. She was the member of the family who had Named me ( Sadie ) I like that name not quite as much as Sasha but still it sounds good SA-D-IE it rolls out on your tongue like a Bark. Anyway  back to the story, after fern came to me one by one all 8 of the other coopers sat down my her and started petting me. (Well all except Owen) Here are All the coopers names, From Dad Cooper to Baby Owen.  Dad and Mom cooper (there real names are Jack and Sophie ) are the head of the family also the oldest. Although dad Cooper is 3 years older than Mom cooper. Anyway now to the Kid coopers,

Michael who I very faintly remember because he went off to collage

only a week after they Coopers brought me home. All I remember is that he kept saying Wretched, I don't know what that word means to this very day 4 months later I have not heard anyone in my family use it since then. And unfortunately I can't speak dog. But he said it a lot. Wretched Wretched...etc  Man sometimes I really wish I could speak human or at least for humans to understand dog. Its a pain not being able to tell Fern and Mabel I love Them, I can only tell it to them with my eyes and my (blue) tongue of course. Anyway back to the subject. After Michael,

Millie is the second oldest and she is going off to collage soon. me and her are sort of close but not super close. She is to old and preppy for me always putting a fresh layer of lipstick on when her old layer wears off. or in her words "Becomes not as' shiny'" although Me and Fern saw no difference between her old coats of lipstick and her new ones. They both looked very red no more no less. oh and Molly also HATES kisses she hates when I lick her who hates kisses! she Has Super long curly Amber Hair, Which she combs a lot!

Daniel Who as I already said is very boyish were are only close because he is good friends with sweet Ruby. he unlike Millie doesn't mind kisses.

Claire Is very shy but also tastes very good when you lick her. She and I are very good friends. except she does not like licking very much. but she likes it more than Millie, she is not preppy Like Millie but rather more into herself and calm she writes lots of interesting stories man some of those stories about dogs blow my mind away, That girl can write! ( at least I think she can you see I can't exactly read...

You see dogs Understand humans but some of us choose to pretend we don't thus humans assume we don't speak their language and just think we respond to COME or TREAT like Stupid heads, ( I learned that frase from Daniel) We understand more than they think we do its just some of us decided to let them believe we only respond to COME or TREAT or GOOD DOG, we can get away from doing way to complicated things. Some humans are learning more and more about us dogs   more and more ways to get us to do what they want. I'm not sure if thats good or bad In my opinion I think its good and bad, 1 it invades on our privacy 2 humans are learning to understand us better maybe one day they will learn how to speak dog! its true though when humans use kind loving firm voices we tend to listen to them more than if they yell at us we will most likely wag our tails and do what they say but sometimes even then...... anyway..

Fern Comes after Claire Sweet, Loving Fern. My absolute favorite from the very beginning her and I are the very best of friends. Oh how I love her.

Mabel The chubbiest tastiest toddler in the world of dogs is second to youngest. Her wispy blonde hair is adorable oh and so is her face. We are good friends I believe because she always laughs when I lick her but sometimes I bump her and she falls and she starts to cry but other than that we are besties.  her favorite word for me is: fuzzy or sometimes even fuzzy Lion although she says it like this fwusy wion. oh how I LOVE Mabel.

Baby Owen doesn't talk much but he does laugh just like Mabel when I lick him on his face although Mom Cooper doesn't exactly like when I do I wonder why, I don't mean any harm she just says "Oh shew Sadie shew" Her and I are good friends though she only turns mean with the baby Owen accidents. Oh and when go potty inside she HATES when I go potty inside I don't get it humans go potty inside to. Oh humans they are so confusing. She does however give the very best belly rubs. as for Dad Cooper he gives the best head rubs. Those Parent coopers give good rubs.

Anyway that day I said goodbye to Mom and Bella Mom had Smiled at me and said "You are a good pup Sasha Be one with your new family" (The most loving words she ever told me in my whole life) and just like that they had where both gone the last thing I remember was Ruby kissing me on my head and saying "Don't worry Little pup we will see each other again I promise" she had also said that I would see My mom and sister (Bella)  again. And since then Me Mom and Bella see each other often. Jane and Thomas and been good breeders kind and Caring they had never raised there voice to us youngsters that is until we went potty inside, again with the getting mad at us for going potty inside, for heavens sake! Anyway, before I left they had both patted me on the head and and said good pup and goodbye. Anyway once we as one Big cooper family as back then once Fern picked me up and we all walked through the big red door I considered myself part of their family now not the Thompson's family not Mom and My siblings family but as a member of the cooper family. What happened after that was a blur they put me in as I now is called a crate, (Back then I had no idea what it was) and we had driven off in a car I only knew what a car was because of vet trips oh those dreaded vet trips although my mom had told us we pups where lucky the vet was so very close (3 minute drive away)   the whole 2 year car ride ( at least it seemed to me to years of queasiness although after Fear had told me it had only been 2 minutes) Fern spoke to me softly and said everything was going to be okay ( of how I loved her then ). And it was and Is to this day. Anyway.... 



                                           Chapter Two ( My Life in the Cooper household)


Well The Coopers had a big secret They where keeping from me. And the second I walked into there house I smelled it quite strongly. Especially on the fuzzy purple rug. It smelled like Cats. How do I know this smell? Well the house next to my breeders home had a Cat that lived in it. But when the cat died they gave my Breeders/Old owners The cats old beds. And even though they washed them before they gave them to us I still had smelled strongly of cat Much to my mothers distain. You see my mother Hates Hates Cats. She had told me So many things about them that I could have practically written  a Book all about the behavior of Them. That is if I could Write. Or Read. Or hold a pen in my paw . Dang sometimes I WISH dogs had opposite thumbs. Well here are the things mom told me about cats: 1 They Are Selfish 2 the are Dogs worst enemy 3 they are very Rude. See   ( Well it turned out I could not of written a book about cats because I was wrong. It  turned out the Coopers Cat turned out to be my best friend) Anyway When I had  smelled that cat smell I Ran back to fern and jumped in her arms. She had laughed and said "Are you Scared Bo Bo?" But it was not Fern that figured out what I was Scared about It was Sharper Claire That had figured that out. She had said "Oh I bet she is Scared of Daisy. Puppies are often scared of cats" At first I had not wanted to even go down on the floor, but finally I mustered some courage  and finally met Daisy Turned out she was very Nice we are the best of friends to this day. The coopers house was huge there where so many new rooms to explore I will only describe my 4 Favorite rooms to you: The Living Room, Yellow walls one Huge brown sofa, two smaller sofas and one big chair. The Kitchen and Dining room  (My personal Favorites ) they both have, White walls,  The kitchen has Three granites and One Island, The Dining room has One big Table And the both have plenty of food. : Ferns Bedroom: The Walls are Forest Green. Or Fern Green. (: Her bed is one big fluffy blue mass. and her Turquoise Rug Is perfect.  I also like the nursery where Mabel and Baby Owen sleep but due to my licking I am not allowed to go in there anymore. Anyway I think I have told you Enough of Before Let me Know tell you about my life Now.



Chapter Three (NOW) ( OH AND THE NEW PUPPY)

Its Almost Christmas! My first Christmas! Daisy Says Christmas Is in her words:  "Very delightful." This is her 8th Christmas. She Says there will be Presents and games and music AND TREATS and best of all.... Decorations! Oh I love decorations. And not because there pretty but because there are so fun to destroy.  Daisy Does not agree with me she says: "Destroying things is For Pesky Primates" I don't know why she is so against Primates I find Monkeys quite amusing (Not that I've ever seen one in real life, only on TV). She I Running towards me now. "Sasha,  Come quick! There's Something I need to show you!" I Quickly Ran after her my short stubby feet weighing me down. When I finally reached the spot where she was I gasped! She shushed me The sight before me was to unimaginable to behold. A dirty ugly looking small skinny black mutish dog was in the Coopers living room. Fern kept cooing to it saying "Oh you poor, poor, thing! Don't worry you have a home with us coopers, right mama?" Mom Cooper quickly replied "If no one calls for her we can keep her." "Oh thank you mom THANK YOU a Christmas Puppy!" Imagine that. MY Fern. Cooing over and loving a dirty stray that was now going to be considered a Cooper. Daisy shook her head. Her long white fur swishing as she did. (She is a pure white peckanise) "Dirty Creatures have no home here"  The dirty mutt looked up at us her eyes where sad and droopy when he heard what we said she began to whine "Oh please Iv'e had the worst life no one to love me or to care for me please let me have a home here even if am muddy and gross" Her accent was unknown I quickly asked her "Is your owner still alive?" she whined back a reply "I never had an owner my mother died long ago" her voice was so sad I took pity on her.  Fern Laughed out a remark "Oh I do believe you two are having a conversation.  Fern Picked the New puppy up and took him upstairs. Darn upstairs. My legs where to fat and chubby to go up there besides, Daisy had said that I'm not even allowed to go up there. humph but apparently this new DIRTY puppy is allowed to. how is that fair?  Daisy watched fern carry the New puppy up the stairs in disgust she licked her self more than usual on the spot as if the dirty New puppy had sprinkled dirt on her. Which it had not. We waited and waited for Fern to come down the stairs, Finally she did. And in her arms There was a small white dog in her arms. I looked around, Where had the dirty mutt gone? and who was this new dog? Fern spoke to us "Hello, Daisy, Sasha Meet the newest member of the family who used to be dirty, Chloe! Chloe the Chiwawa mix" Oh so this clean white dog was the mutt..."Hello I'm Merida!  Excpet now I have a New name apperently I'm Chloe, Now and if you don't mind could you to show me how to live a life with a human?" Chloe said Excitedly I barked a slow no. Daisy Meowed a fast NO WAY! Chloe Looked so sad that I had pity for her and said "Okay Fine Chloe but you better listen to me. Okay?" Chloe nodded her puppy head real fast. "Well rule number one in living with humans is don't NOD your head K?" Chloe Nodded her head. This was going to take more work than I thought.

Fern Is super excited for the holidays. So am I! Turns out Chloe is only a little older than Me! so this will be her first Christmas too. Her mother died before Chloe could even properly see. Chloe was born a stray. But the Local Animal shelter found her and her sister May. Her sister died along with her mother. So poor Chloe lived a long sad life alone with other mean big dogs in the shelter until just recently she escaped and that's when Fern found her. Chloe Is actually super Nice. Daisy Still is not fond of her. But Me And Chloe are great Friends We even made up as song about our friendship, You see dogs sing too. Just not as much as humans and not on front of humans. My Mom taught me all these Important facts. The song goes like this: Chow Chow And Chihuahua One Red one White Live together without a bite, Chloe and Sasha liven life very happy not snappy.
Daisy does not appreciate our song. She prefers the song Her and I mad up about our friendship: Cat and Dog best of Friends  without any ugly bends, Daisy and Sasha very bright full of clean light.
