The book I read was Chew on This by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson.
This book is about all the fast food
industry history, The Mcdonalds brothers first came up with the Idea of opening a restaurant, They decided to call it Mcdonalds, because their last name was Mcdonald. The Mcdonald brothers came up with the idea of having a speedy service restaurant. Many other restaurants started to copy their idea of having a speedy service restaurant. These are some of the restaurants that copied Mcdonalds' idea, KFC, Taco Bell, Burger king,Sonic, Dairy Queen, and Wendy's. Mcdonalds became a big hit for the fast food industry. Mcdonalds created a speedy service system where you would get your own food, and you would have to get out of your car and walk inside to get the food. Some people weren't used to the speedy service system because they were used to people coming out to take their order, then run back in the restaurant, get their food, and then come back out and give it to them. Mac and Ron Mcdonald wanted Walt Disney to sell Mcdonalds food at Disneyworld, Walt did not agree to selling Mcdonalds food there. Ray Kroc (a business man) met with Mac Mcdonald and wanted to help the Mcdonald business since Ray was a good business man and had some ideas to help the Mcdonalds industry.
Ray made a lot of good ideas and hopes for the Mcdonalds industry that helped Mcdonalds become what it is today.
Think about what your eating.Do you know if it could be harmful to your body. I think the theme of this book is be careful what you eat and treat your body right.
I would recommend this book to people in our grade because it was very fact filled. I think people would like this book because it's so gross but you can't stop reading it. I can relate this book with another book I read. This book contained a lot of secrets about the fast food industry, and people like secrets. I would recommend this book for all grades.
Eric Schlosser has written a few books, some of them are, fast food nation and chew on this. Eric Schlosser went to prison but got let out. When he got out he wrote two other books about nuclear weapons and the prison industry.
Charles Wilson grew up in West Virginia and has written articles for numerous publications such
as the, New York Times, the Washington Post, and the
Economist.

Do you think rich people should pay higher taxes? Rich people have more money. Rich people are more fortunate beacause they have money. The rich make more money, so they should pay higher taxes. Rich people really do need to pay higher.
Firstly, rich people have more money than other people, so it's only fair that they pay higher taxes. Rich people usually inherit there money, so if they pay higher taxes maybe they could just inherit more money. Rich people have better jobs than middle class, Middle class work just as hard but the rich take all the money and that's unfair. Rich people do have a lot of money and they don't share it which is greedy and unfair.
Secondly, Rich people have a lot of money and so they mostly have better things than other people, which makes them fortunate. Rich people are mostly born with money so that leads them up to more and more money. Rich people usually have rich parents, so if the rich pay higher taxes their parents could lend them more money. Rich people are so fortunate.
Thirdly, Rich people make a lot of money . Rich people have and make more money so they should pay a whole lot more money. Rich people keep making more money so they should keep paying more money. Rich people should pay more money so other people have money for schools and communities.
If the rich people of the world keep making more money they should be responsible for paying higher taxes. Rich people should pay higher taxes because they have more money. Rich people are more fortunate. Since rich people make more they should really pay more.

Sophie,The best Cold Person there Ever Was!
When I grow up I think I'd make a great cold person. One of my favorite things to do is have my teeth chatter a lot. I even have some experience at freezing my hands off. coldness comes naturally to me, I like coldness and I live in cold temperature, Therefore, I will be the best Cold person that ever was!
Coldness has always come naturally to me. There was this one time when I was ice cold for a week. I'm always freezing,ice cold, and shivering. Whenever I am cold,I am freezing. Being able to be cold all the time is the first step along the path to becoming a cold person.
Liking coldness is another thing I really enjoy. It's so exciting to like the coldness. When I'm liking coldness I feel like a icicle. I am to liking coldness,what Peyton Manning is to football.Being able to like coldness for the rest of my life would be awesomely cold!
Living in cold temperature takes special talent. I gained a lot of experience at living in cold temperature because I live in Sitka and Anchorage. I learned a lot about the cold the cold temperature. For example,I live in cold temperatures. The time I spent living in cold temperature is sure to give me an advantage when it comes to becoming a cold person.
The three most important ingredients required in order to become a successful cold person are having coldness come naturally to you,liking coldness,and living in cold temperarure, and I've got them all! I want to be a very cold person. I'm never so happy as when I'm in the midst of being very cold. It's like Catherine Bell said,"I love cold weather".When I am cold,I am happy,and that's why I'll be the best cold person there ever was!
The book I read was Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. This book is about a 14 year old girl named Miri who lives on Mt.Eskel in a quarry village. Everyone in the village works in the quarry except Miri who is too small and her Dad won't let her. Life for Miri and the village girls is interrupted when the Prince from Danland must marry.One day a messenger arrives sent by the king telling the villagers their daughters 12 to 17 must attend the princess academy to get perpared to meet the prince. Miri and the village girls are escorted by the kings soldiers up the mountain to the princess academy. All the girls go through lessons like reading and writing and it turns out Miri likes learning. The girls go to a ball and get to meet and dance with the prince but after meeting all the girls the prince is undecided on who to choose and goes back to the castle with promises of return. Then bandits show up and try to kidnap the chosen princess but because no princess was chosen the bandits hold all of them hostage. After the girls escape from the bandits the prince finally returns,chooses a princess,Britta, and the prince takes Britta home to the castle.
The theme of this book is its important to be brave so you can stand up for those who aren't brave. In one part Miri stands up for a girl named Frid who stands up to Olana when Olana says only Katar and Miri can return home but Miri ends up bringing the whole class home for winter break. Example is when the girls didn't want to escape the bandits because they were afraid but Miri convinced the girls to run.This example involves Marda, Miri's sister, Marda had to be brave and skin rabbits instead of Miri.
I really liked this book because it was written and described well with lots of detail.It didn't have a lot of humor but it had a nice emotional moments. This book had some romance so it would be good for people who like romance in books. I could connect this book to other books I've read. I would recommend this book to other 7th graders because it was a nicely detailed book.

I think its Pegasus not Unicorn who poops rainbows. Rainbows are in the sky and Pegasus flies, so he obviously has to poop the rainbows.Pegasus is the one who poops rainbows because Poseidon created Pegasus, and Poseidon is the god of the sea it makes sense since you have to have water to have a a rainbow . Wikipedia said that rainbows were a present from god, Pegasus is have divine.Unicorns are not divine.So the Pegasus is most likely the one to poop rainbows.I think that if either one were to poop rainbows it would definitely be the Pegasus.
