Once upon a time there was a cat named Mickey. This cat wasn't a normal cat this cat was a Cachebra. A Cachebra is a cat, a cheetah, and a zebra all mixed in one. If you ever saw Mickey he would look like a normal cat, but then if you look closer he has cheetah and zebra markings. This is the story behind Mickey the Cachebra and how he got lost in Wal-Mart.
One day Mickey was driving his car to Wal-Mart. Mickey got out of his car and started walking into Wal-Mart. When Mickey got into Wal-Mart he got his shopping list out and looked at what he needed from the store. Mickey needed to get some present for his Christmas party that he was having that night, and some othe rChristmas decorations. While he was shopping, Mickey ran into some of his frineds. Rachel the regualr cat and Abbey , who was also a Cachebra. Mickey invited Rachel and Abbey to his party that night. After they had talked for a little bit they all went their spereate ways shopping at Wal-Mart. Mickey got on his way to finish his shopping, when a giant human namned Emily came up and started petting him. Mickey got scared and froze and couldn't move. Emily picked him up and started leaving the store with him! Mickey got so scared that he was going to miss his party and that Rachel and ABbey would never talk to him again! Mickey would be devistated if that happened because he loves Abbey so much! Abbey was the only other Cachebra in all the world! Mickey kept thinking about this over and over again! Finally he decided to jump out of Emily's arms, but when he got down he idn't know where he was, Mickey was lost and didn't know where to go. Mickey wondered around for two hours trying to find his way back to Wal-Mart. Right when Mickey was about to leave he heard a honking noise. Mickey turned around to see that it was Rachel and Abbey coming to save him. Rachel and Abbey gave him a ride back to his car and Mickey wen thome to get ready for the party so did Rachel and Abbey.
It was time for the party to beging and all of Mickey's friends were there except for Abbey and Rachel. Just then in walked Abbey with Rachel following behind. They both looked beautiful. Mickey walked up to Abbey and proposed and Abbey said yes, and they lived happily ever after. As for rachel she met another cat that was just like her and they fell in love and got married as well.

Snowday
The snowday was fun! I hope we have another one soon!! I think we should have a longer Christmas break because we only have like two days before Christmas!
Speak
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is a novel about a young girl Melinda who has had many difficulties with relationships with guys and men. The author makes this very clear in this novel with all of the examples she gives. For example Melinda's dad walks downstairs and in the book it says that she disappears and goes into her room. This is just one example of how Melinda has battled with relationships especially with men her whole life.
The first time that Melinda thought that she actually had a boyfriend and that someone actually liked, or even loved her, it turned out that he just raped her. David Petrakis seems to be a really nice guy who likes, and cares about Melinda. The first page that this is seen on is on page thirty-seven. Melinda obviously cares enough about David to not give him a mean nickname. This shows that maybe Melinda likes David. "I have a lab partner, David Petrakis." Another comparison that arrays how much better Melinda treats David than the other men in her life is on eight-six where IT comes up to her, and says "Freshmeat". Freshmeat is a crude term that shows how Melinda in IT's eyes is just another girl to look at. Melinda gets annoyed by this and tries to ignore him as seen on page eighty-six where it says " IT found me again. I thought I could Ignore IT." She ignores IT but seeks out David and tries talking to him. One last example of Melinda trying to hide from men or other boys that are in her life is on page fifteen where it says " Dad walks in and I vanish..." This is yet another situation where Melinda tries to escape from the guys in her life. As Melinda and David's relationship furthers, it seems like the other relationships around her with her dad and other men such as her teachers struggle, and vanish.
When Melinda finally decides to tell someone about what happened at the party people are forgiving, caring and want to know everything as seen on page one-hundred-eighty-three."I didn't call the cops to break up the party,I write. I called-I put the pencil down. I pick it up again- them because some guy raped me. Under the trees. I didn't know what to do." Right here it affirms that Melinda didn't know what to do and that she was scared. Melinda needed help and support from family and friends all her life but never got it. Melinda was scared and wasn't strong enough to support herself and defend herself. Maybe it wasn't a relationship with a guy that she needed, maybe all she needed was a strong friendship, or a relationship with her mom. Everyone was so forgiving of Melinda and are very forgiving of her, but why didn't she tell them before? Maybe Melinda was scared that IT would find out that she had told someone and she was scared that maybe he would hurt her again. On page one-hundred-eighty-three, we see that there was something stopping her from telling someone. "Oh my God, I am so sorry, she writes. Why didn't you tell me?" "I couldn't tell anybody".
Everyone needs friendships and relationships, but Melinda needed one the most at that time, and she didn't have one. This could be a dangerous situation to many people today, and so it is important that everyone has someone there for them all the time, if it is a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a bestfriend, or maybe something just as a good relationship with their mom and dad.
