Story I'm writing for history

Part of Chapter 1

A boy sat in a muddy trench leaning against the side of a supply box. He had on a light blue soldiers uniform, or at least it used to be light blue. It was now covered with black mud and stained with blood that was not his own. The sound of gunshots, bombs, and screaming men could be heard in the distance. The boy, about 16 years old, tears streaming down his face, held a dirty letter in his hand. The letter was for his mother. It simply read: "Dear mother, I am not dead yet. But it is only a matter of time. Love your only son, Hugo." He wondered how long it would be until the French army was overrun.

Hugo staggered down to one of the dugouts, sobbing and shaking with fear. The ceiling, made of soil, rained dirt because of the thunderous booms of the exploding bombs above. He started looking for another place to hide. "Hugo!" a voice shouted from above "Hugo! You dirty little foot slogger! Get you're skinny little hide up here NOW!" The boy got up, still holding the letter, and ran back up the stairway. Colonel Ethan stood there, a nasty scowl upon scared face. "Hugo!" he said again, only inches from the boys face. "You are to be up there helping the men! To be fighting!" he grabbed Hugo's arm, with his iron hard grip, and tugged him along, getting closer to the fighting armies. "Whats this?" He snatched the letter from the boys hand. Hugo reacted, reaching for it. But the colonel was to fast. "Please, sir! That letter is for my mother!" Colonel Ethan, still holding the boy back, crumpled the letter with his other hand. "Sir..." Hugo's voice was croaky, and tears once again streamed freely down his cheeks. "Go, I say!" he said, throwing Hugo away. "Go and fight!"

Ireland

Today for geography, I read and wrote about Ireland. Here are some facts about its terrain, size and location:

Ireland is located in the Atlantic Ocean, separated from Great Britan by the Irish Sea. Being half the size of Arkansas, it takes up the whole island, except for the six counties that make up Northern Ireland, which are part of the United Kingdom.

 The terrain consists of lower central plains surrounded by coastal mountains. The highest peak of Ireland is Carranntoohil, which is 1,041 meters above sea level.

Ireland is littered with castles and ancient ruins that used to be inhabited by the Celts in 500BC.

10 interesting facts about Ireland:

 1. Ireland is a snake-free island 

 2. It was the Ireland culture that started Halloween 

 3. There is an estimated 4.75 million population on Ireland 

 4. In the Olympics, boxing has been Irelands most successful sport  

 5. St. Patrick was not even Irish, he was Roman 

 6. The longest place name in Ireland is Muckanaghederdauhaulia (Say that 5 times fast) 

 7. According to the Irish birthday traditions, people hold the birthday child upside down and bump the head slightly on the floor. The bumps correspond to the age of the child. It is believed that this tradition brings good luck

 8. The Titanic, the Unsinkable Ship, was made in Ireland 

 9. There are more Irish people living OUTside of Ireland than IN 

 10. Drisheen is a type of pudding made from cow’s, pigs or sheep’s blood. White pudding is a mixture of pork, cereal, bread, fat and suet. Periwinkles are sea snails boiled in salted water

I hope you all liked my post! Please comment if you want me to post about the Irish CULTURE or HISTORY next. Thanks!

I made Magic Snow out of Diapers. Yeah.

Check out this video where I make instant snow from the absorbent substance found in diapers:

Diaper Snow

Here is some info on the absorbent stuff:

To enhance absorbency, every one of the diapers we tested includes a matrix of fluff material and chemical crystals, known as Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP), to soak up and trap fluid. The role of the fluff, usually made from wood pulp and may also include wheat/corn based materials, is todistribute the fluid, while the SAP is intended to absorb fluid and lock it in the core and away from baby. The bulk of the diaper, especially when wet, is composed of the core materials. We consider this the 2nd most important material to understand.

And now you know all about diapers

Story Introduction Writing

A lone figure stood among the brush of a dense forest. In his hands he held a bundle of something wrapped in blankets. He was waiting for something, and had been waiting for almost three hours now. The cool wind blew up inside his cloak and sent a tremor down his spine. Loud forest noises filled the night air. The bundle stirred. The man rocked the bundle in his arm then held it close to him, for the warmth of both him and the small baby inside. He had tried so hard for the good of his son. But he couldn't bring him this time. No, not this time. He will have to give this burden to his sister. His wife had died the night his son was born. The man tried not to remember what had happened that night. There was a sudden rushing in the foliage ahead. "Athena?" he called for his sister. "Athena, are you there?" He was answered only with the thwacking sound of a bowstring and a sudden thud of a object hitting his shoulder. He screamed in pain, almost dropping the baby. Another noise came from the brush. A laugh. His hands were no longer carrying the bundle. Then all was quite. It had all happened so fast. The man choked back blood. The arrow had pierced his heart. "Kallum!" he coughed "Kallum, no!" Then all was black.

How to Play the Warner Bros. Theme on Piano

The Warner Bros. theme is actually quite simple. Just follow these 3 easy steps and you will find it easy to play.

Step 1.

First thing you need to know is that the whole song is in G# major. So, to start, play a G#, (preferably one of the G#'s at the top notes of your piano) with your right hand pointer finger. From there, hit the C (to the right of the G# you just played) with your ring finger. Then, go down 2 keys and play an A# with your middle finger. Then, finally, play an F with your thumb. Play everything I explained above in order a few times, to get used to the fingering. Here is a picture to help you with the order:



Step 2.

Now, we are going to move down to the nearest C# to what we just played above. The fingering is going to be exactly the same as we did in Step 1, so you will begin by playing a C# with your pointer finger. Then go up a few notes and play an F with your ring finger. From there, play a D# with your middle finger, then a C with your thumb. Practice playing all of those notes in order:



Step 3.

For Step 3, all you have to do is play Step 1 and Step 2 all the way down your piano! End on Step 2, then play 2-4 octaves of G#, and then you've successfully played the Warner Bros. Theme! Congratulations!

If you would like to see me playing the song, and a few other movie intros as well, make sure to check out this video here: MOVIE INTROS ON PIANO
