The Red and Blue Coat

These past few weeks I have been working on my Wisdom Tales Project. The book is written by Heather Forest but the stories inside are from around the world. The story I did my project on was called The Red and Blue Coat. The Red and Blue is a African Folktale originating in the Congo. 

In my project, I decided to do a Scratch project. Scratch is an online platform where users upload code projects using block code. Other users can see your work. In this project, the among us character is the trickster and the other people are the two friends. In the story, the friends each see a different side of the trickster’s coat. They get into a big argument and it ruins their friendship. The moral is to look at the other person’s perspective. Probably the hardest part was getting the trickster to walk down the path realistically. My personal favorite part is when the trickster wins.  It took me about 3 hours to complete. I think my project is very interesting and people should watch it. Be sure to read Wisdom Tales. The morals are great. 

Water Bottles

In this post I will talk about the importance of water bottles.  

Water bottles are probably the most universal, unique, and important tool for any athlete. Water bottles are so important because they can contain a liquid called H2O in various amounts varying on the bottle. H2O also known as water can refresh and cool down your body after a workout. Some people may contradict saying that this is what Gatorade does.(I disagree). Fun fact you need water to survive, that is why having water at all times is very helpful. Another reason is that a lot of water bottles can be reusable so they can go in your very own dishwasher.  What makes something a water bottle is a device that can hold water without it spilling. That means it can be turned upside down. The non reusable water bottles are made of a weak plastic called Polyethylene terephthalate or PETE. Cheap reusable water bottles are made from a tougher plastic.While more expensive ones are made from metal. Water bottles range from all shapes and sizes. See these images.

I think water bottles are highly effective and people should buy them across the world. Buy your water bottles today!
