The Iron Giant

I'm writing this blog on the story The Iron Giant because it teaches you about friendship and sacrifice. First I saw the movie then I read the book. When I was reading the book and watching The Iron Giant I felt like I was actually there in the movie and the story as a small boy named Hogarth. I felt like Hogarth because he reads science-fiction books, watches science-fiction movies, and is curiouse like me.



Iron Giant - the movie
In the movie The Iron Giant a robot crash lands on earth and makes friends with a boy named Hogarth Hughes. They become friends after Hogarth saves the giant from getting electricuted at the power plant. A government officer wants him captured and destroyed. He also wants to find out who sent the giant to earth. Hogarth after being friends with the Iron Giant thinks he is the luckiest kid in America. He protects the giant from anyone who wants to capture him by hiding him at a scrap yard.

The Iron Giant sacrifices himself to save the people of the town.

The book is diffrent from the movie. In the book Hogarth lures him in a trap because he was afraid of the Iron Giant. After he lures him in the trap he feels guilty because he feels sorry for the giant. The biggest difference between the movie and the book is that there is a monster in the book and the Iron Giant challenges him to a contest of strenth.

Airplanes

The first airplane was made by the Wright Brothers. The airplane is the worlds fastest way of transportation. If you use a ship or a car to get to far away places you will get there in a few days or weeks. But the airplane takes a few hours or 1 day.

Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380


It is also fun on the airplane because you can watch movies or listen to music. Their are many kinds of planes like space shuttle, an airforce plane, and a transportation airplane.

The Amazing Telephone

Now I'm gonna tell you about the telephone. The telephone was created by Alexander Graham Bell. Before the the telephone was invented, if people wanted to communicate to people far away they would mail letters. Then they would wait 20 or 30 days for a response. On the telephone you can call anyone you want and get a response on the same day.

Apple iPhone is the latest in phones:


With just the right transmitter in place sound could be carried over wires trough electricity varying in intensity and also transmits speech. He also tried to experiment with a water transmitter using an acid-water mixture and he succeeded. Unlike the telephone which couldn't transmit speech clearly the water transmitter sent speech perfectly.

The Wonderful Things About Electricity

I read a book called Inventors by Martin W. Sandler. I'm going to write about my 3 favorite inventions and their inventors.

First I'm going to tell you about electricity. Electricity is important because if we didn't have electricity we wouldn't have lights.

Before electricity people would use candles or oil lamps instead of light.

The person who invented electricity is Thomas Alva Edison. He invented many things but his greatest invention was the light bulb. He discovered electricity when he was flying a kite into a thunderstorm and his kite got zapped so the lightning reached Edison by the string attached to the kite.

Light is important because if we didn't have a stoplight or a walk and stop sign, it would be a disaster. Everything around us like computer, lamps, and television work on electricity and light.

My Nintendo Wii Experience

Hi it's me again Rishabh and I have a Nintendo Wii. I've played Wii Sports, Wii Play,and Spiderman 3 The Game. When you have Nintendo Wii you can create your own characters to match you. You play wireless games. In Wii Sports you have Tennis,Baseball,Golf,Bowling,and Boxing. In Wii Play you have Shooting Range, Pool, Laser Hockey, Fishing, Match Mii, Ping Pong, Army Tanks, Cow Riding, and Match Emotion. When I play Wii I feel like i'm the character. I've never had so much fun. It also gives you body excercise. You can also play Gamecube games on Wii.

The things I like about Nintendo Wii:

1.When you move the Wii remote the character does the same action.

2.It has a built in memory chip.

3.On the Wii they show you what buttons to press when playing a game.

4.Because the Wii remote doesn't have a wire,nobody trips and falls.

5. When you hit or throw or in boxing you will always move.

The things I don't like about Nintendo Wii:

1.When you swing the Wii Remote sometimes somebody could get hurt.

2.The Wii games cost too much.

Enjoy!!!
