I think all of the places in town would be cool but different. You would need to by horn spoons, shovels, and picks to go to the diggin's. I think the high prices are ridiculous, but the people who made those don't think it is cause they probably just want the money.

I don' think that those foods are exotic because I have them at my house and eat them all the time. But maybe back then they thought it was exotic because they traveled from all different places and all different places have all different kinds of food. I think that the passengers were very happy that they finally are getting fresh food and get to walk on land again, but probably had trouble getting their landlegs back.

1.I think the reason why people gave the genre Tall Tales that name because people who wrote or told those stories twisted the facts and didn't write exactly what happened they just changed the story a little.

2.When your parents to tell you to "Stop Telling Tall Tales" they mean tell the truth.

3.Overpraise, Oversate, Exaggeration, Overdo, Overleap, Hyperbole, Embelish

      One day my class in 4th grade went to the Water Agency. We took the bus as a transporter to get there faster than walking. I got to sit next to my friend Gage on the way there. On the way there we saw two deer running around next to the bus. When we got there we had a tour guide show us the globe in front of the buildings. Then we went behind the buildings and headed toward the area where they put chlorine or a gas into the water so they can kill the bacteria. Then she took us to the area where they clean the water so the bacteria is gone and the water is clean.

      After that my class was split up into two groups. One half went to go play Jeopardy and the other went into the office to go kill bacteria. I was in the group that got to go kill bacteria. When we got there we got in a seat and we had to listen to the rules. Then we chose a microscope and answered these questions on this sheet of paper. Next, we put chlorine in the water so we could kill the bacteria. After that we went to this other building and played Jeopardy. It was a tie.

     Finally it was time to head back to the classroom. We got on the bus and rode back to the classroom. Gage and I played an alphabet game. The objective is to find all of the letters in the alphabet on sign or license plates. That was a really fun field trip.

       Draguanas by Ethan .Draguanas are very odd animals. They have super large dragon wings that are very powerful. The draguana also has an iguanas sticky long tongue. At the end of its average iguana sized tail that has a dragons thorny ball at the end of the tail.

       The draguana has super large wings that help it reach the speed of 89 miles per hour. Its large wings are used to escape from predators or danger. Their wings also help them get to places faster rather than strolling to places. Sometimes they even take nice soars around the rainforest. At night they especially use their wings like a soft warm blanket.

      Draguanas have an average sized tail that helps it steer left right up down forwards backwards. At the end of its tail it has a thorny ball. The draguana uses its tail to protect itself from a predator. That way the predator probably won't bother the draguana again. 

       The draguana has a super, sticky, long, tongue. Its tongue can shoot out of its mouth like a cannon ball, so now they can hide and when a insect happens to come along. POW!!! Theres a nice tasty lunch for the draguana. Draguanas also can use their tongue to grab onto branches and pull themselves high into the tree.

       The draguana is a very special but odd animal. They have a super weird tongue, really large wings, and  a tail with a thorny ball at the end.
