Intro: Hi I'm Rex an ordinary teenage guy who is really good at fencing, archery , and other outdoor activities like climbing trees. I lived most of my life outside of USA until now. I now go to high school with my friends Maggie and James and live with my uncle and cousin James. I also work in the museum in our school.
Chapter 1
English class has always been difficult for me because I traveled all over the world learning almost all the languges everywhere I went. Today we were supposed to hand in a report on the movie Avatar The Last Airbender. Here is the report I handed in :The movie was fair. Big sigh. Where do I start? Well let's start at the sticking point that everyone has had with this movie. In case you missed it, a lot of noise has been made because Noah Ringer (Aang), Nicola Petlz (Katara) and Jackson Rathbone (Sokka) are White actors cast in the roles of Inuit and Asian characters. While I didn't like the fact that they white washed 3 of the main characters it was not that much of a distraction, especially once they left the Southern Water Nation. The biggest problem with these actors is that they sucked. I found the mispronunciation of Aang, Sokka and Iroh (mispronounced as Ong, Sukka and Earro respectively) unbelievably distracting, especially as the whispers in the theater acknowledged the mispronunciation several times. This was the equivalent of calling Bruce Wayne Brice Wong. In addition, his version of the material left no time for character building. Without character building how do we understand why they care for each other or get to the point where we care about the characters?The amazing martial arts (Tai Chi, Northern Shaolin, Hung Gar and Ba Gua Zhang) that the element bending of each nation is based on was weak and rare. Shyamalan decided that the firebenders actually needed fire to be present for them to fire bend then changed his mind in the end. Aang's airbending left much to be desired. Katara didn't really need to learn waterbending, but still wasn't good at it. And while they did include Zuko as the Blue Spirit, the amazing firebending that he did in the series was left wanting (they did show him sparing and Dev Patel was good). Not to mention the imprisoned earthbenders that made no attempt to escape despite being surrounded by earth instead of metal. It also would have been nice to see more of Damon Gupton (Master Gyatso) but there wasn't time for that either. 'The Last Airbender' definitely has an extremely diverse cast but once again the 3 White main characters spoiled. I got an A on it but I'm not sure how?

Some Physics Facts.
Physics is a science of measurement. Standard units of measurements are needed so that every body is using the same method. Mass, length, time and temperature are the basic units. The metric system is the SI system. In SI length is metres, mass is kilograms, time is seconds and temperature is kelvin. Length is the distance between two points. Mass is the amount contained in a body. A gap between two events is time. Degree of hot or cold is temperature. Estimates are not reliable. That's why measurments are needed.
Magic
In time before time lived a great sorcerer called Pan. He fairly ruled his kingdom of Del. His people said that he had a perfect personality. The people were even thinking to make him a palace of gold as a gift. But he kindly refused and said that they should use that energy to help people in need. Though everybody in his kingdom liked his company the neighboring kingdoms had other plans to over through Pan. So they held a meeting to destroy Pan. At the meeting.............K1-We don't have enough forces to attack Del directly. We must destroy it by convincing that Pan is wicked sorcerer who cursed us into complete darkness for 20 years just for not walking with him. Then we will have to tell them that he has a wicked past that leads him to many miseries. K3-Yes we do that but what about him he can just vaporize people in an instant. K2- We can poison him. K4-But he can heal himself or remove the poison and we won't even know. K4-Lets build him a mansion with death traps he goes in and gets himself killed. And so the kings still can't find a way to destroy Del's perfectness even today.

As an ant I would see the world as a labyrinth. I'm saying that because wherever I go, there always is someone there to kill me. Here is my dying schedule: Monday, go to New York. Today I got a car ride to NY city where I almost died. Here is how it went. First a guy picked me up put me in his hot dog and would have ate me if I hadn't hopped on to his mustache jumped of waited in the car that brought me here until they drove me home. Tuesday, back at home. Now that I'm back at home I do chores every day which are extremly dangerous. What I have to do is lead a bunch of ants into a ant trap not get caught and survive home. Wednesday, welcome to Hawaii. I got stuck on a boat went to Hawaii get attacked by mutans and come back on starfish. Trip to soccer city. A crazy sicentist shipped me of to soccer city to be examaned . Just then a rat freed me, took me on his back and ran for the exits. Though alarms went off we escaped from the lab. We kept running but humans were catching up. They were coming from all direction and surrounding us. We hid in a hole but the people smoked us out. they caught the rat on the other side but I escaped. There was a lake nearby so the animals in the water took me home.

My Favorite Sport
My favorite sport is soccer. I enjoy playing this sport because I'm successful at it. For example I made to the travel team this year. I also play for the Triple Tigers for five years now. Let me explain the rules to you. Oh and the rules are a bit different. You must stay in your suits at all times. Only osmosian can be keepers. To referee you must be an oakloar. If player is damaged when not in use of ball a penalty is required. Ball must be in air to be played. Now you might be thinking that's not alot of rules. Your right it isn't, that's why soccer is rough. Now let me explain how the game works. First the referee throws the ball into the air. Who ever gets it first takes the ball and tries to score.
The History Of Soccer:
Soccer started when a bored king started to kick things around. That evolved to kicking balls around. Then people noticed and made it an international game.
Glossary.
word: osmosian
meaning:A being that can absorb energy.
word:oakloar
meaning:A being that can temporarily paralize.
About The Ball
The ball is a metal ball that is highly exlosive.
For example one blew up in my neighborhood yesterday.

A Thrilling Sledding Experience.....
My thrilling sledding experience was at Nara Park. It started as Jason pushing head first on my circular sled. Then Jason pushed me again and I rushed down a steep hill with my sled. Jason had prepared a ramp on the same track. That's why I got thrown into the air landed on a plant and got tangled in it. Once I untangled myself I started to walk up the hill. Just then I tripped over my slide and started to slide down the hill again. As I slid down I got stuck in the same plant. But this time it was the ice that made me fall. At the moment I was heading head first into a snow bank. I would have crashed if I didn't do a 180 degree turn and smashed the bank apart. It slowed me down so I could stop and get up. Now I got into a snowball fight against Jason. P.S I won the fight.

Pollen
Pollen is known as a powder with pollen grains. These pollen grains make sperm cells that come from seed plants. The grains have a firm coat that protects these sperm cells when they move between the pistil of one flower and another. All pollen grains have a certain vegetative cells that contain nucleuses that can produce new pollen tubes. These pollen tubes are surrounded by a wall called a cellulose cell and a thick outer sporopollenin wall. Pollen particles and grains can come in all sizes, shapes, and species. As a flower develops, groups of sporogenous cells start to form in the pollen sac. Tree pollen is a popular type of pollen that causes many allergies for people.
