George’s secret key to the Universe fiction review By: Scott


 George’s secret key to the Universe fiction review

By: Scott

Just as George was starting to enjoy Cosmos, the world’s most powerful computer, something terrible happens. When his friend falls into a black hole, George has to save him. 

Just like George discovers in George’s Secret Key to the Universe by Lucy & Stephen Hawking, I also feel like we should embrace science and use it for good. 

 

George Greenby, the protagonist, is an 11-year-old boy living with his eco warrior parents next to Eric, the scientist who has Cosmos, the most powerful computer in the world. He thinks that his parents are weird because they are eco-warriors. Through Eric and Cosmos he learns all about the universe. He is sad because Eric fell into a black hole, so George tries his best to save Eric, but will he be in time to save his best friend?

 

Graham Reaper, Greeper, is a mean teacher at George's school. Graham used to be Eric’s best friend but then a terrible accident made Eric’s Graham worst enemy, even if Eric does not realize it. Now, at school Graham is suspiciously asking George about Eric, and is constantly being weird, as if Graham weren't telling George something. He wants to steal Cosmos from Eric and use it for his own evil intentions.

 

When George sees Eric’s worst enemy, Graham Reaper, sends Eric a letter, and George tries to stop Eric from following it but Eric follows it and ends up trapped in a black hole, and George must save him. 

 

  George's secret key to the universe shows that technology is not causing climate change, but the decisions of how technology is used does cause climate change. George says, ”We really do need to look after it [earth]” (p327). Eric also says, ”People are concerned about the state of the earth” (p213). George learns not to give up when life is very hard or difficult. He also learns that he should use his power for good not bad. This allows him to have the persistence to rescue Eric from a black hole.

George’s secret key to the universe is an amazing book about science and climate change. I recommend it to everyone and anyone who likes suspense and sci-fi. You can find little science facts in the chapters, to explain what's going on. You should read this book because it's exciting and suspenseful while giving interesting facts and information. My favorite part is at the end of the book, when George makes an interesting speech. It makes your brain think about new and novel things, so read the book to find them out!

Lake Hillier, the Pink Lake - Scott

  Lake Hillier, the Pink Lake by Scott Did you know that there are pink lakes all over the world? Lake Hillier in Australia is one of them! But Lake Hillier has some specialities that set it apart from other pink lakes. For one, Lake Hillier is the only known pink lake that keeps its pink color in a cup. Another fact is that it is relatively untouched by humans and is on an uninhabited island.  Lake Hillier is a relatively small pink lake, untouched by humans, and home to very few animals.  Lake Hillier is a small pink lake in sharp contrast to the surrounding (forest and ocean) that makes its pink color stand out even more. It’s a rather small pink lake measuring only “ 600 meters long and less than 250 meters wide” (Hillier Lake). It is shaped like a footprint (Tourism Western Australia); like a giant stepped on Australia's main island in the Recherche Archipelago (Fadden).  The reason why the lake is pink is still a mystery but some scientists think that the lake...

Cat Cafe - Annabelle

深圳市福田区农轩路33号天御香山花园 7栋1801 深圳, 中国🇨🇳 October 3, 2021 Ma Weihua, Executive Director of China Finance Society 2001 Longxiang Boulevard, Longgang District, Shenzhen Tel:(86) 755 8427 3000 Dear Mr. Weihua: My name is Annabelle Wu, and I am a fifth grader that lives in ShenZhen. I really like my neighborhood. My favorite part is that we have a swimming pool. It has a place I can exercise. I am writing because I think my neighborhood needs a Cat Café. To start, the Cat Café can make people happy. First, you can take pictures with the cats and give them treats; it will be very good. Second, when the parents are talking to each other, eating deserts, and drinking drinks, the children are sitting around and are very bored just listening to the adults. When my mom takes me with her and she is talking with her friend, I am very bored. But at a Cat Café, I wouldn’t be very bored because I could go and play with the cats while my mom is talking to her friends. It would not be boring sitting around....
