Chapters 5-6 The Watsons go to Birmingham

Chapter five
This chapter is about Byron, he goes up stairs to the bathroom and locks the door.  The only time he ever locks the door is if he's up to something.  After a while Kenny went up there and looked through the key hole, and he saw Byron, he was playing with some fake little figures that he made out of toilet paper.  He was practicing a fake movie he was performing.  He named the fake movie Nazi Parachutes Attack America and Get shot down over the Flint River by Captain Byron Watson and His Flame thrower of Death.  He was doing crazy things like when one of the parachutist was dead Byron would flush them down the toilet pretending they were floating down the Flint river.  Soon after mom got tired hearing the toilet every few seconds, she went up there and pounded on the bathroom door, it flew open and hit the bathtub.  She was furious Byron was using matches and she grabbed him by the neck, and drug him down the stairs with one hand on the neck and matches in the other. Once they got in the living room mom looked in her hand that the wet matches were in.  Mom's hands tend to get sweaty when she gets mad or very upset.  So she told Joetta to go in the kitchen and get some new matches Joetta refused she didn't think   that was such a good idea for her mom  to burn Byron. But the mom was going to teach him a lesson so he learns to leave alone the matches.  At the end of the chapter it almost happened, when mom gave up.
Chapter six
In chapter six mom asks the kids to go to the market and get a half gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, and a small can of tomato paste.  So they weren't going to argue.  They went to the store but mom had told them they had to tell the man they were on the welfare list. The kids were really embarrassed they did not want to be made fun of because they are on the welfare list at the market. As they got there they found what they needed, and what do you know, Byron went and hid behind the comics aisle so a least he wouldn't haft to be embarrassed.   Kenny was told the amount of the food and really quietly so no one could hear told the cashier, but we're on the welfare list. The clerk said there's nothing to be embarrassed about a welfare means that your dad doesn't haft to pay for something you buy every time you're here that means that he will pay for it next time. They were both very relieved  to hear that.  As they walked out the door Byron was acting all sweet and generous.  He put his arm around Kenny and even offered to carry the grocery bags.  Byron had bought some things like, cookies.  That his parents had not known about and weren't going to.  He offered Kenny one, at first Kenny wasn't quite sure.  He thought possibly it was a trick, or that it had fell on the ground and there was dirt on the top.  But ate it and it was fine. Byron offered a few more, and a few more.  Which was quite strange.  Kenny couldn't tell his parents because he had eaten some himself, so he had to take part of the blame.  He didn't want to get in trouble though so that was there little secret.  That was practically that chapter.

*  The sun has solar flares.
*  Corona is a glow that is made up of gas and then shines around the sun.
*  The sun has a color pattern, the order of the color pattern goes blue, white, yellow, orange, then last but not least red, red's the last color the lower the color cooler the surface is, higher of color hotter the surface.
* The sun is the star at the center of the solar system.
*  Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface, the photosphere, associated with strong local magnetic activity.
*The sunspots, which are about 4,500 degrees k, only look dark because of the contrast with the surrounding surface, which is about 6,000 degrees k.
*  The core of the sun is the source of all the sun's energy.
*  The sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000 Celsius [11,000 Fahrenheit].
*All the plants in the world need the light and heat to grow and the sun does that.
*  The scientist estimate the sun to be 4.6 billion years old.
*  When the earth is closest to the sun each year it is still 91 million miles away.
*  When the sun is farthest away each year [as in winter] it is 94.5 million miles away.
*  The sun's temperature is 15.6 million degrees at it's core.
*  All the planets in the solar system orbit the sun.
*  The sun is a star not a planet.
*  Some people use solar energy that comes from the sun's rays to replace other sources of energy for heat and fuel.
*  The surface of the sun is called the photosphere and the layer above it is called chromosphere.
*  The sun is the largest object in our solar system.
*  Spectacular loops and prominences are often visible on the sun's limb.
*  Since the formation of the solar system the sun's output has increased by about 40%.
Those are some facts about the sun.

Chapters 3-4 The Watsons go to Birmingham

Chapter 3
This chapter is mainly about this boy named Rufus and he is a brand new kid in school.  There was a boy named LJ.  He would come over a lot to Kenny's house to play dinosaurs  because one person would haft to be the American dinosaur and one would haft to be the Nazi.  But there was only one Kenny.  But Lj was a stealer.  He always would put the dinosaurs in his back pockets or his shoes, you could tell when they were in his pockets but not when they were in his shoes.  So Kenny stopped playing with that little boy.  So this new little boy, Rufus would just show up at Kenny's house and Kenny was a little worried because that little boy found out where he lived.  So they started hanging out anyways one night when they were playing Kenny saw that Rufus  had two dinosaurs in his pocket.   He could also tell what they were.   So he decided  that maybe it wasn't such a good idea that he was Rufus's friend.  So that was the end of them to playing.  That was practically chapter three.

Chapter 4
This chapter is mainly about these really cool leather gloves and Kenny got one and someone else got one but only one.  This leather glove is really important to Kenny.   But one day this kid was outside and was bulling some other kids.  Byron came to the rescue and helped the kids.   The bully had one of the gloves and Byron snatched it and was hitting the bully in the face with it.  That was mainly that chapter.

Being in a new building

Being in a new building is totally different.  But I'm doing great.  Now I'm in Adams Elementary.  I'm in fourth grade.  I have Mr. Simmelink,as my first boy teacher.  But he's really nice.  My favorite subject is science.  Right now we are learning about the solar system.  My favorite out of specials is music.  I think it's an important subject in your life.  Next year I would like to practice playing the guitar, but I don't think there's guitar's so I'll just haft to get by with playing the clarinet.  I like how in class my teacher makes it fun by letting us use markers on our desk's for math.  My favorite school lunch is there hamburgers.  During the winter we get to play on this huge snow pile.  We read the  Narnia series which is always exiting because if we pass the Ar tests we get to watch the movie.  Everything  about our school I think is pretty neat. But most of all the part of the reason I'm getting through it is because the amazing friends that encourage me and I have  an awesome teacher to support me. But there's still one year to pass.

Chapters 1-2

The Watsons go to Birmingham
Chapter 1
     Chapter one is about a family, the Watsons.   Where they live it is freezing out side, they say that it feels like one thousand below zero.   They all huddle together on the couch because there heater doesn't work good at all.   So they are going to go to there aunts house.   So they tell the kids that they need to scrape off the windshield so they can see to pole out. There was a bar that divided each half.   Byron would get a half, and Kenny would get a half. So as they started Kenny was almost done and he asked Byron how he was coming and all he had done was the one mirror so that he could see him self.    Kenny always does all the work.    As Byron looked at him self in the mirror he started saying things about how he looked that he looked so handsome.   He kissed his reflection and what do you know his lips have frozen to the mirror.    Kenny continued  working and she heard keh-ee keh-ee.  Kenny ran in and got his parents. His parents came out her dad started crying because he was laughing so hard, and his mom was just about to cry.    Dad started to joke about we are just going to haft to drive to your aunts house and and Byron will just haft to run along the side of the car. Mom didn't think that was funny at all she mentioned using warm water and pouring it against the glass of the mirror.   They tried that didn't work it only froze.   So mom put her hand under his chin and on his forhead and said I'm sorry I  haft to do this and ripped him off.  That was pretty much it.     

Chapter 2
     Chapter two is about Kenny in school.   He gets bullied a lot.    Byron thinks he rules the school.  Which makes Kenny's life in school even worse.    People make fun of him, they pick on him, they call him  names.  Every once in a while Byron and his friend will skip school.  Then when Kenny would get off of the bus  he would always be the last one to get off because Because Byron and Buphead would always be there waiting.     Later on in the chapter Kenny had to start wearing an eye patch because every time he looked in the mirror his eye would go back in the corner. That was pretty much all chapter two was about.
