This past week for English we have been reading a graphic novel. A graphic novel is like a comic book except its one long story. Like there was the hobbit in a graphic novel form of the hobbit. It was quite fun to do this and interesting. When we finished we had to look at the different styles of drawing that were in the different graphic novels. Mine was a fantastic four graphic novel. It was quite a good book and quite amusing. The back round of the comic wasn’t so detailed but the main things were. The comic was quite good but one thing I didn’t like was that the way one of the heroes fought against the bad guy was always out of nowhere knowing exactly where the water pipes are.     

This week I read chapter 5. In this chapter one of the things he does, is he gets a job. But it was hard for Richard to get a job. Because his grandmother forbade him to get one. In the end a friend of his at school, told him of a job of selling papers from Chicago. So he sold the papers for about two months. After two months of never reading an article and only read the magazine supplement. One of his buyers show him something. The man shows that the paper is actually a kkk paper. The man first asks Richard some question like did a white man tell you to sell these and so on. But then Richard told he him he never read the paper only the magazine. The man tells him that people are only buying them because they are scared that Richard would set the kkk on them. So Richard stops selling those papers right after that and tries to forget about them.

Sinterklaas is a Celebration mostly celebrated by the dutch. Sinterklaas is kind of like Santa just a little bit different. Like Sinterklaas is on 5 december and instead of leaving for cookies you leave him a carrot for his horse and you bring your shoe out in front of the fireplace instead of stockings and Sinterklaas will leave you some pepernoten(translation pepper nuts but they don’t taste like pepper) and chocolate. If you want to know more about Sinterklaas like his story here is a link.

 live in the Netherlands, which is located above Belgium and next to germany. In the Netherlands there are different provinces. On the map you can see them they each have a different color. There are allot of cool things in the netherlands. Like bike paths everywhere everybody has a bike and it’s very normal to bike. Like every North Holland is also where our capital is, Amsterdam. I live in Hilversum  which is a small Town South East of Amsterdam.

My school day normally starts with me waking up then getting ready for school. Then I bike to school for bout 15 minutes. I arrive at school at about 8:25. My school is not enormous I leave school at about 3:30 and that is really it.

If you come to visit the Netherlands I would recommend visiting Amsterdam because there are allot of cool things to see there and do there.
