Egyptian Learning

Here is an extranormal video of Egypt.

The Da Vinci Code

                                                                     
The Da Vinci Code is a 454 paged book by Dan Brown with loads of adventure.   Jacques Sauniere was assassinated in Louvre's Grand Gallery and the policeman Bezu Fache is on the case.  He contacts Robert Langdon to come so he could figure out a riddle that Jacques left.  Soon Sophie Neveu (an agent for the police department) comes to the Louvre and said that she figured out the cryptogram really Sophie came to warn Robert of the danger he is in.  Sophie and Robert run away and the police department thinks Robert killed Jacques so the police chase him.  Robert and Sophie go on this huge adventure and everything gets cleared up in the end.  I would really recommend this book but ask your parents first because it is an adult book.

Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.


Eight little Indian boys traveling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were
seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there
were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were
three.

Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were

The voice begins to talk ....... the voice accuses every person of being a murderer or if the person has ever sent someone to their death.  "Who was that voice, where did it come from, and what shall we do."    Then, they spoke about why they were summoned to island.  They all got letters from friends, the friend reported to meet him/her at the Island so "we can catch up".  They took Mrs. Rogers to her bed because she had fainted, (after she had some brandy), and she fell asleep.   When they said they should leave in the morning Anthony Marston said he would not leave the island before they solved the mystery, and then he gulped down his cocktail to show his courage.  But he started choking and he gasped for breath  then he died.  The remaining guests were shocked and carried Tony up to his bedroom, then they went to bed while Rogers cleaned the dining room.   While in the dining room Rogers noticed that there were only Nine Little Indian Boys left on the center piece.  When there had been Ten Little Indians when they went to dinner.............

"My Song"




Come To Me (Fantine's Death) from Les Miserables reminds of my protective mom who cares for me and would want me safe if anything should happen to her.  Also it reminds me of my deceased grandpa's who loved me.  This song reminds me to be thankful I have a house, food, and most importantly a family.
