The Diary of Anne Frank Book Report

The Diary of Anne Frank was a moving story about a young girl and her family and friends who were Jewish during WWII, and her life in the Secret Annexe. It was written by Anne Frank (duh), had 283  pages, and was printed in 1963. It was a non-fiction book and was published by Bantam Books, and had the copyright of 1952 by her father, Otto Frank.

Anne was a ordinary girl who was ten when the Nazi group was formed, and she had gotten a diary on her tenth birthday, during which she began recording the items that were being taken away from the Jews. After  a while she was annoyed and surprised to find out that they were moving to the Secret Annexe. As she was going to be living there for a while, she got used to it. She was in there with her sister, parents, parent's friends, their child, and the dentist. It was a tad crowded, as Anne usually noted.

She usually got into arguments with her mother, and almost every one who was an adult, not including daddy. She also got into fights with her sister once in a while, but it was very short and almost immediately apologized. She never got into fights with Peter, who she got along fine with, as 'he was like me in almost every way'.

The diary of Anne Frank  was a good book, and should be read by most everyone. It does prove of some of the horrors of living cramped with a group of people, as well as the concentration camps. You should read it if you like WWII stuff.

The History Of Literature

Literature is a form of writing that enjoys the reader. It is said to have originated from somewhere in Sumer. It is a beautiful way to convey a message, most of the time. It is also a destructive way to 'get' someone. In China, they wrote on logs, while everyone knows that in Egypt they used papyrus. As it spread, more people picked it up, such as Shakespeare, William Caxton, and Shen Kuo, and it helped spur inventions such as the printing press, made by Johann Gutenberg. Many fun and serious stories popped out of literature, because they WERE literature.

(NOTE)= I'm going to be studying it, starting with the Epic Of Gilgamesh.

There ya go!

# Pre-history Q.P. #

I am right now studying the remarkable history of human life 100,000 of years ago, modern Homo sapiens. Humans were gifted with a powerful gift called speech. While being around the 17th smartest creature, we were able to work together to build civilizations. We has another tool, too. We had the ability to improve already made tools and make new ones. Unlike our cousin the chimp, who used a stick to get bugs 100,000 years ago, and uses one now, we used the stick, then used a piece of rock tied to a stick, then improved it again and again until we invented the spade.                                     

See ya!

Solar Car Lab

I have recently been working on a solar car at the Science Museum in Buffalo, NY. We have been using hot glue guns, foam, and wood to iron out plans and skeletons for our cars. We also use cloth, paper clips, saws, and laser cutters to make extensive details. We can use 3D printing, rulers, and screwdrivers to get every last detail right. We have split up into separate teams, but the race is going to be with two other schools. We have lots of awards, so your car doesn't have to 'move' as long as it looks good. We have the entire lab to our disposal.

I have made a car named project pumpkin pi. I have a simple gear system, golf balls, foam, and wood to make it the best possible. I am currently working on making the solar panel being able to move in all directions. I have also been working on a blueprint to make sure I'm getting it done right. I am also working on making the car work. :P Hope you wish me luck!
