BR 2-18: Buzz and Zip get lost (Reilly, 2007)

"It was the ugliest thing I've ever seen" (Reilly, 2007, p.10)

Buzz and Zip are in the space ship. They looked out the window and found something. They wanted to find planet Zero but it didn't. It was planet Earth. Zip looked scared. That's because, he has ever been to the Earth, but they say terrible things about it. However they had to land on Earth. They needed fuel rocks.

At last, Zip grabbed the wheel, and started to land the spaceship. Their spaceship was in a quiet place close to some fuel rocks. They went out of the spaceship. They didn't want to see human but suddenly, Buzz ran into the spaceship and shut behind him with a bang "It must have been a human!"

"Let's get out of here" said Zip. But there were nothing. They felt terrible, so they started the spaceship. And they decided that they wouldn't come the Earth again. What's the true character? It was a lot of cow. They thought that they were new monster.

This story like "Independence". Monster....rather than aliencame to the Earth and they wanted to invation the Earth. Will Smith and other person saved everyone. I really like this movie.

BR 2-12: Time Travel: Ship Ahoy! (Branch, 2007)

"I can't wait to see where the time machine takes us this time" (Branch, 2007, p.9)

Georgia and Charlie are best friends. They had a time machine inside a tree trunk at the bottom of their garden. So they could go everywhere. For example, they backed to the time of the dinosaurs. Georgia really likeed adventure. On the other hand, Charlie was a bit afraid. When Georgia pressed a green button, the time machine took them to the ship in the port.

There were a lot of people who were waiting the ship. Then, there was standing on a dock looking at a big passenger ship. Suddenly, people turned to Georgia and Charlie. People talked them "Look at their clothes!" "Look at their hair!" and so on. People have never seen like their fashion. One boy who is rich boy introduced around the big ship to Georgia and Charlie. The boy is going to get on this ship because his aunt is taking him for his birthday.

Georgia looked at the ship in horror. It was written 'TITANIC'. She could not let him get on the ship. The boy really wanted to get on this ship but he couldn't get on. At last, the ship went away and the boy was so angry. Charlie didn't know why she couldn't let the boy to get on the ship. After they went back, she told him to tell the truth.

I liked this book. Last page was like a newspaper about TITANIC. It hitted an iceberg and more than 1500 people died when the ship sank. Georgia knew about that. The reason why she couldn't let the boy to get on it is this reason. She is smart and kind girl I thought. If the boy get on it, he would die.

I have ever watched 'TITANIC'. It was very sad movie. Jack fell in love with Rose and Rose did too. When Jack sank in the deep sea, I felt very sad. I watched this movie when I was 5 years old. At that time, I didn't know the story and I didn't know why the people were sad. When I grow up, I knew the reason. I think 'TITANIC' story was talked forever.
