Gulliver's Travels

For about a week after Gulliver got his freedom, everything was good. Then, a man banished him. He was sent to an island where he was small and they were giant. It said that the baby was at least 20 feet tall. The giants are taking care of him by giving him bread crumbs and small bits of meat. (Just to show you how big everything was, it said that the bread crumb would last him at least 2 days.) THey also gave him a thimble to drink from. It wasn't a very good punishment. That is all I got read. I think it was about 30 pages.

Gulliver's Travels

I just finished 30 pages in my book so now I am blogging. Well... Gulliver was on a ship and it tipped and when he was unconcious, he was spotted and brought to shore. Only, it wasn't normal people. They were super small. Their town was named Lilliput. When he woke up, they were standing on him and he "Roared so loudly, some fell off and got hurt." The king put him in jail with some other people. The "other people" in jail were tied up. Gulliver picked them up, and put them in his coat pocket. Exept one. That one, he pretended to eat. But, he just cut the ropes that tied them up. The man that he pretended to eat, he was so scared, he hid in a corner and didn't come out for a week. The king made Gulliver work, and he did. He obeyed the king. He was also really good, hoping the king would realese him for good behavior. Well, eventually, it payed off. Gulliver is free, kind of. He always has gaurds around him, and if he tries anything bad, they will shoot him and stab him.

Have I ever gone camping?

Yes, I have been camping before. I'll tell about my time I went camping at Wind Cave. It was about a scout camp out so a lot of kids were there. It was a mile hike to the cave, and when we got there, it was so dark, I couldn't see anything. I set up, and around 1:30 I fell asleep. We got up at 6 in the morning and went running. When we saw the trail we were walking on last night, we were surprised. It was about 1-2 1/2 feet big! When we went went cave exploring, we found a freshwater stream, so clean, you could see individual pebbles. At the end of the cave, we had to crawl through a hole that was only 3 feet tall. Then, we had to climb a huge hill to get on the right trail. The hike back to the car was the worst! Cave exploring really tires you out. It was bad enough that we had to walk a mile back but then we had to be carrying a 10-30 pound backpack and a sleeping bag all the way, over logs and up hills. It was fun, though.

Were you responsible for any househld chores?

I would type all of the questions but they are like 5 of them. :( Ok, ok, here we go. Yes. In Arizona, I was usually responsible for getting the eggs from the chicken coop, feeding the chickens, cleaning, and all sorts of junk. I liked when I had to feed the chickens because they would practically attack each other and climbing over each other so they would get some food. I didn't like the cleaning because it was so boring. All you did was scrub, scrub, scrub, wash, wash, wash. It seemed like it was never done. Well, that's it.

How do I feel about doctors? Why?

I HATE the things doctors do because they are cold, annoying, and they usually hurt. Ugh. I just like the part where you get a sucker and you get to get out of school. -_- Anyways... I HATE THE DOCTORS! They "check up" everything. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. I hate it. Good thing I don't go to get a check up anymore. :D

What kind of sports did you play? Watch? Like? How about now?

Let's see. I started soccer when I was 6 or 7 I think. I've played soccer from there up until when I was 9. Then I played baseball. I stayed in that for 2 seasons. When we moved, I quit baseball. I started football, for the school team. I NEVER got to practice, though, because my pads didn't come in. Well, when they did come in, I broke my collarbone tackling somebody wrong. I had to quit on the 2nd day I got my pads. I don't watch sports. I like every sport. Especially rugby. I still like every sport especially rugby
