The Odyssey

Hello. Today I am doing a post on "The Odyssey' by Mary Pope Osborne. I hope that you like it.
This book is about a man named Odysseus who spent more then 20 years at sea trying to find his way home to Ithaca after the Trojan war. He faced a cyclops, a witch, sea monsters, the dead, gods and goddesses, and evil suitors while losing his men. I really recommend this 6 book series. I will give the names of the books and what numbers thay are. The first book is called "The One-Eyed Giant". The second book is called "The Land Of The Dead". The third book is called ''Sirens And Sea Monsters". The fourth book is called "The Gray-Eyed Goddess". The fifth book is called "Return To Ithaca". The sixth book is called "The Final Battle". I hope you liked my post! Come back any time.

An Adventureous Fly

I hope you like my post. It is about a fly that travels the world



Once upon a time I was born on a trash heap behind a fancy restaurant in France. I have lots of friends, like crickets, ants, and butterflies. one day my friends flew me out of the trash heap and said I would have to pupate (change into an adult). I would have to eat a ton of food to pupate. I started to eat. I ate eggs, steak, egg nog, red potatoes, and more. It was so delicious!!
After a while I felt a tingle and started to harden up. For a few days my friends were waiting for me. Once I came out my friends were so happy.
I was a fly that wanted to see the world. I packed my bags and went off to see the world. ''Au revor'' (good bye) I said and set off. First I went to England and saw the Queen and she invited me to tea!! Then I went to Egypt, United States, India, China, Russia, Chad, Sudan, Spain, Cuba. When I got home I was made a hero fly. The End

Pyramids

Do you want to know the answer to some mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

1.) The first thing most people wonder about it is what kind of ramp did the Egyptians use to move the blocks that made the pyramid. They used three different ramps: single, spiral, and zigzag.

2.) Most of the time people wonder who the Great pyramid is made for. The top chamber in the pyramid gives proof that the pyramid is built for Khufu.

3.) Sometimes people wonder how the barges that carried the heavy blocks did not sink. The barge was pulled by lots 0f little boats.

4.) People have also wondered how heavy the blocks were. The blocks were 2 to 16 tons.

I hope you like my post. Bye
