Thesis Statement

 I think the thesis statement is support your peers because they both needed help from each other and they gave eachother that. I don't really think there is a quote for it because it was through the whole book from the pond scene, one would've been helpless without another. And imagine Freak wasn't there when Killer Kane was trying to kill Loretta she probably would have died. Too bad that Freak isn't with him anymore, because it doesn't seem as if he could find a match to Freak, so how is he going to live on? Discuss

I' m On Mars

Mars in its present day state.
 Hey everybody I just got back from Mars on my 6 year journey which was action packed with crazy stuff I could only dream of seeing, and thats why  I am so happy  the space agency let me go. I'm going to talk about how satellites (moons) are different and how it was made effects that. I will also talk about the impact our moon has on the earth and how the phases and eclipses link to that. I will also talk any other features that were not seen on my trip.

 








What the earth would look like we were when it had recently formed
   Our star, it was once a lot of hydrogen and helium molecules. Now those molecules are constantly colliding and creating constant explosions to sustain heat. Now a planet is quite a bit simpler. As you most likely know the asteroid belt is a lot of materials like solid rock and now some of these rocks are just wandering in space. And when they hit each other and ball up with more and more on its path around the sun because it would now be caught by the gravitational pull. Since they have recently collided it is a lot of molten lava from the collision would create an explosion, eventually after about 2 billion years, well thats around how long it took the earth to cool off. Since mars and earth along with the other planets within the asteroid belt are much heavier and denser than gas planets, we do not get pushed out whereas gas is a lighter material so it gets pushed outside the asteroid belt by the star but still orbits around it. There is a difference between a satellite a star and a planet. First of all a satellite does not have its own orbital path instead it would follow planet, there are many theories to this but in my opinion the most logical one is: the gravitational pull of a planet is stronger and the satellite got to close and is sucked into orbiting the planet. And the star is an extremely huge mass that provides heat for all these planets and we orbit it because of its huge mass.
Our satellite orbiting the earth which in a chain reaction is orbiting the sun.













       Your probably thinking why wasn't he talking about the moon, well that's because I am devoting a whole paragraph to it because it does so many things. So first of all I am going to talk about how the moon orbits around and creates a phase.  It has 28 day cycle going around the earth and on that cycle we see a new which means we don't see it at all because the dark side of the moon is facing us so it is completely black, then you see a quarter of it meaning only a quarter is being hit by the sun, when the moon reaches behind the earth we will see a full moon because all the light going past earth will hit the side we see after which we will see the other quarter of the moon. Now when it is going through its phases sometimes it will get closer and farther, in effect we will see a lunar or solar eclipse. When the moon reaches really close to the moon so close it will completely block the sun from hitting it there, even though the moon is 1/400th the size of the sun it seems larger because it is 400 million miles away, that is a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is when the moon hides directly behind the earth (on its orbital path it is a little above it) getting no sun what so ever but it will reflect off the earths atmosphere, and when it reflects the weakest colour hits the moon (red) then we see it as a red planet like mars.
A picture of a present lunar eclipse, it is the moon turned red from the reflecting light
 
 

 







   Now there are a few other things I saw on my way to mars and on my way back to earth, I will talk about them now. One thing I saw using a confidential item was a rainbow and how it was being created what I noticed was that the light bent at the earths atmosphere and it created beams of light, I always wondered how they were made. I also saw some dwarf planets they are a lot smaller and they were made by smaller objects of rock colliding, so it is made the same as regular planets but in a smaller therefore lighter and pushed out of the asteroid belt.

Here it is showing Ceres in comparison to our moon and the earth, quite obviously there is a big difference
















   I Hope you know a lot more about Mars and our solar system now in comparison to before. It is an amazing place to be it would be great if everyone got to be out in space. Now if you are prepared yourself to go out in space you should join NASA you may get a spot on the next trip to Mars, Just like me!! If you aren't ready yet but want to learn more go to my blog and feel free to ask any questions The URL is http://andrenovelblog.blogspot.com/. Happy space traveling and I'll see you next time. Andre the awesome the reporter signing off.

Seeing past her hands

Her hands our only the way of representing the guilt and pain inside them...no book so ya tomorrow I will finish.
