The work, rants, and ideas from room 231!
I chose the plain to represent Digory’s trip across the land of mousehole to get to the docks.
I chose the tuxedo guy to represent when they first met master Henry.
I chose the house to represent the magic house that master Henry lives.
I chose the lighthouse to represent the eddy-stone lighthouse in the story that was falling apart.
I think that we should use wind power to power our roller coasters instead of fossil fuels. First I think that because wind power is easy to collect and use, unlike fossil fuels that we have to trade to get and use cause we don’t produce it here. Wind is also renewable because the Sun’s heat is always going to be here (technically),witch means there is always going to be wind. Wind turbines can be any size (even though bigger is better) which means you can almost have it anywhere there is wind. Wind turbines don’t affect the environment much and you can still use the space under the turbine for other stuff like farming. Wind is also free besides the cost of building the turbine, and bonus it doesn’t hurt the environment. For all those reasons i think wind power is the best thing available for our roller coaster.
Fossil fuels are one of the most common types of energy. It has been the main source of energy since the industrial revolution.
About a million years ago plants and animals died, the remains of those animals/plants built up into layers and became some types of fossil fuels.Some of the fossil fuels (mainly coal and natural gas) are found 
underground in some rocks and people have to dig it out. Once we have the coal we can make energy from it by burning the coal and have water collide with the steam from the coal changing the water and then the changed water turns a pipe in the generator to produce electricity.The coal can also be taken somewhere else to use in that area, like if it’s over sea you could use a ship to transport it quickly and safely, or if it’s long distances on land you could use a train, and for some reason you could also mix water with it and it becomes a type of slush that can be used across pipes.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Sadly using fossil fuels also damages the environment because it requires a lot of space to collect and it causes erosion. It also isn’t renewable so it will run out. Most importantly it causes tons of smoke and hurts the air(and the atmosphere). Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel.
COSTS
The things you need to get to make energy out of fossil fuels are: a boiler to heat the coal, a fire box inside the boiler to make the coal turn into steam,a condenser to make the steam turn into water, a turbine to power the generator, and a generator to make the power.
In conclusion,fossil fuels are a widely used energy source that isn’t permanent and hurts the environment. It’s being used almost everywhere and it has been for some time.
In 2045 there was a man named Derek enjoying his life living in a house with a job until one day when he tried to check his bank account and it didn’t work .After sending a complaint to the bank he saw that he lost all his information. At first he didn’t know what happened but then he saw that he was hacked.
“At least I still have my passport” Derek sighed,”So this guy is in Africa huh? Well i’ll need to take a plane.”
After 7 days he got a ticket to Africa and got on the plane. In the middle of the flight he saw someone get up he was wearing a dark cloak with sleeves then he said some random speech ending with “now we shall take out the trash’’ then a window broke and the plane started tilting.
Everyone started yelling but for some reason no one came to stop this.
“Why is nobody here?’’
But out of nowhere a fighter jet came.
“We are saved” a man yelled.
Then the speakers came on “stay on the plane do not go to the other plane”
But then everyone protested and started getting out, but Derek got different idea.
“i’m not gonna do either, infact i can just glide to my stop”
Apparently other people had the idea. Luckily Derek got the last one but that’s when a guy with spiky golden hair a black sleek jacket and blue pants came and said “hi um mate your not leaving” “uh yes i am ser” Derek replied “3-2-1” then another guy wearing a white skull mask with the same shirt, tackled Derek of “are you insane” Derek screamed while falling with the skull guy “call me psycho and yes. Yes i am!”
Psycho kept preventing Derek from pulling the parachute “how do you plan on surviving the fall water won’t save you or are you that stupid” “water alone won’t but with your help it will. I’ve done this a million times” psycho said weirdly. they kept fighting until Derek kicked the psycho and pulled the parachute.
“ i-did-it…” well it turns out psycho grabbed Derek’s legs then after awhile the psycho let go.
“I let go cause i’ll survive the fall. like i said done this a million times”
It wasn’t til after awhile that Derek landed in a train track. He then decided that he would hide in a train since it was night and he wasn’t a survivalist so he waited. when he saw one headed his way he decided to make the track switch that way he could get on. Apparently it was holding hay straw and other foods animals eat.
The next day…
Derek woke up to the sound of cars.
“That’s weird i’m on a train and that didn’t wake me up.”
Then the cart door opened and about 10 people came out including the yellow guy.
“So you survived the fall huh,well doesn’t matter you won’t be surviving this.And if you’re wondering the names zack mate” zack said mockingly
“Why are you doing this?” Derek said.
But instead of an answer a tall man about 7 feet high came in but he was actually psycho and he was alive and well (Derek doesn’t know that).
“He isn’t getting away with this one so because of that I will expose my identity. I’m the leader of the group and we hacked someone important… well we thought we did turns out we accidentally hit you so now we have to give rid of the evidence. I know you want my name so i’ll tell you… it’s Jeff.” Jeff explained.
Out of nowhere Derek started dashing towards zack he planned to trick them to jumping of, his plan was working till he tripped when he got up zack pushed Derek off but not till Derek grabbed Jeff’s legs and they both fell of the train. Jeff landed on the track but Derek fell down a waterfall…
“Ow…. i survived that, well As a can tell i’m pretty sure…”
After waiting to see if his pain neurons send any vibes he got up then he took in his surroundings he saw some cars up the hill.
“There still trying jesh live a little.”
He started to climb the hill it turns out those cars did not belong to Jeff but instead they were empty.
“Point for me ,at least i think?”
Then Derek heard someone move. Jeff was right there trying to stand up.
“You think this is victory you merely set me back”Jeff sighed.
Jeff panted as he tried to get up “why did you even follow through to this you would have gotten your personal information back either way.You risked your life for this!” Jeff screamed.
Just then Derek started sprinting for a train, leaving behind a very tired Jeff.
In a couple of days Derek finally got back to his home and sorted everything out (His boss was furious)
“It’s finally over thanks god”
Derek was in a subway when all the TV monitors turned to special news…
“The mastermind hacker Jeff is now in custody in reports come in saying that the quartermaster of the team ‘zack’ is now the new leader”
Everyone started clapping/worrying.But Derek just left with a half smile
“here we go”…
Dear 5th Grade ,
I am exited for when I get to publish things more often on this site, and i can’t wait until I get to do long division. I’m also exited for the end of the year because i’m going to middle school.
love, Derek .
