TLP: Week Two

This week, my book was talking about these horrible trees called the baobabs. I wasn't sure if they were real or fiction, but after some quick Google research, they really do exist. And they're pretty big. not redwood tall just wide. I believe they call that "obtuse" in math class. Anyway, I found this really weird blurb about how this man in South Africa managed to turn a baobab tree into a tiki bar for tourists. It's amazing what you can find on the Internet...

The Little Prince: Week One

This leap month, I have chosen to read "The Little Prince." my mom said that even though it's short, it still has a message. I'm seeing bits and pieces of the message already, as in the book the pilot is describing the little prince. He has been making drawings of the prince because he does not want to forget him, and that you don't want to forget a friend, because you might not have a friend like that ever again. I've never really had any close friends in my life, except for this one girl that moved to New York City with her parents and sister. I remember in fifth grade, we had to present puppet shows for our parents to come and see. My group got assigned "Little Red Riding Hood," and the puppet I had made looked a little bit like her. I haven't forgotten a friend.
