In the book Haroun and the Sea of Stories is about another place on the second moon of earth on this moon is the place where all the stories of the world come from. There are two types of people that live on this moon the Gups and the Chups. These two people are different in many ways with the Gups living in the light and the Chups living in the dark is probably the bi difference that set them so far apart. With this huge difference between them the Chupwalas try poisoning the sea of stories so everything would turn dark and kind dead like which the Chupwalas like. The Gups don’t like that idea so they stop the poisoning before it destroys the sea.
With the build of Dornix park in Big Timber the people are coming together to work on something that is special to everyone. Like the Guppees Big Timber doesn’t have to work on the park to make it better they chose to because its something they think is great for the community. The Gups look after the sea because it is special to them and it has all the stories of the time which they enjoy deeply. Big Timber is cleaning and making Dornix Park not just because it’s a piece of Big Timbers history, but so it’s possible for later generations to enjoy this beautiful park that is taking the sweat and hard work of the community of Big Timber. Dornix is old being the first town setup way back which later turned in to Big Timber. Dornix is like the Old Zone which holds all the old stories in it which helps make new stories out of the old ones. So when the Gups cleaned out the Old Zone its like us cleaning out Dornix so everyone can enjoy both.
The efforts to build Dornix Park don’t quite mix with what the Chupwalas want to do. The Chupwalas are trying to destroy the sea make it a giant frozen cold waste land like their home. With the cleaning up of Dornix Big Timber is trying to make it more enjoyable and beautiful so people can enjoy it not destroy it like the Chupwalas are trying to destroy the Sea of Stories.
Dornix Park is big for Big Timber as it is made by the people. Everyone that works on it is volunteers so it’s a giant group effort by everyone. Dornix was the first town built in Sweety Grass County so it has some history along with the building of the park. The community wants the history of where Big Timber began remembered through the years so that’s why it’s a big project. Also its one of the first park built just by the people not by some contractor, but by the people of Big Timber which makes it special.
With the building and cleaning of the park we are very close to the Gups who clean the Sea of stories for everyone to enjoy. Like we are cleaning and building the park so everyone can enjoy by walking through it and seeing the site that it holds. While we work hard to make it and restore the beauty to it we all have to work very hard to make it all come together. The Chupwalas aren’t in any means the same for the try to destroy things not make the beautiful an awesome for everyone to enjoy. So the Gups and Big Timber are very close and good people that like the beauty of things that are around them.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories
The Guppees and the Chupwalas are people that live on earth’s 2nd moon. The moon moves so fast that it isn’t seen by regular people because it is so speed. The Guppees are the people of talk and story telling they love to talk and be happy. They also live on the side of the moon where the sun is always shining and is very nice. The city they live in is called Gup where isn’t very nice and warm. The Chupwalas like in the land of Chup it’s the dark side of the moon where the sun never shines and its always cold there. The people of Gup are very talkative like I said before; they love to tell stories as they live by and maintain the ocean of stories. The people of Chup are cold people that don’t speak at all they hate stories and the light their very negative group of people. They want to make the moon all dark and sad which they start by poisoning the ocean of stories.
Khattam Shud is the ruler of Chup he is a very dark mean man that doesn’t enjoy talking at all or stories. With him poisoning the ocean of stories it is starting to freeze over and if that happen all stories will be lost and a story will never be told again. So if he takes over there will be no more stories and the world will be lame and even sadder because there will be no stories to tell anymore.
The Old Zone is the part of the ocean where all the stories come from it holds all the old stories. From the old ones new stories are made by combing stories together. So it is important that the Old Zone is safe so more stories can be made. If isn’t safe then there will be no new stories to make and soon all stories would stop all together,
It’s important because it represent that old make new it shows that with old come the new. If there is no Old Zone then nothing new can be made because everything has to have a beginning at some point and time in the world.
Batcheat and the ocean are important is some ways even though one seems to be a little more important than the other. Batcheat is the princess of Gup which makes her kind of a symbol to the people. The prince Bolo loves her and would do anything for here even though the people don’t think she’s the greatest even she’s still their princess. So they have to save her. The ocean is what keeps the Guppees going without it everything they are will be lost for their stories wouldn’t be able to make people happy anymore because there would be no more stories to tell people. So the ocean at this point is a little more important to the people than the princess is.
Blabbermouth is a woman that chooses to make herself look like a moan to get along the world she lives in for its very hard for her to do so. So she fakes being a man and goes into the army which would be tough being something your not but she does very well and worlds hard for it. Batcheat is the princess she really doesn’t have to work for anything as she is royalty so everything comes easier for her. She also isn’t the best looking lady so with her being royalty she really doesn’t have to worry about that. Blabbermouth is a hard working lady that knows what she has to do to make it in the town of Gup. Batcheat really doesn't have to do anything because she is royalty and can be lazy.

What's the purpose
What's the purpose of make believe stories? Make believe stories can have many purposes. One such purpose would be to tell a story to entertain a person or a crowd. This would be a good way to pass the time as many people enjoy hearing stories from time to time. Also little children like to hear a story before they go to bed maybe it helps them sleep hearing some made up story about dragons and elves and make believe characters that fight evil villains and come out victorious in the end.
Make believe stories can be used to get appoint across to someone. If you’re trying to tell someone something important you might make up a story so the person can better understand the point you are trying to get across to them. Like if you’re trying to tell someone what would help them to go farther in some sport of something you can make up a story about work ethic and trying your best to be the best.
You can trick someone with a make believe story to do something that could benefit you or them which ever way you want it to go. Like if you want someone to take you some where you could make up a story about how your mom needs something important and their the only person that could help you get it for your mom. Even though you just wanted a ride to get somewhere that you wanted to be at the time and need a story that would help you get there.

Reponse to reading
In my reading I learned that there have been a lot of religions that have passed through India. The main religion though in India is Hinduism. Buddhism showed it’s self for the first by with a man named Zarathustra who perched renunciation of desire as the key to human salvation. It’s one of the worlds greatest religious it had large influence on people through out the land.
With the change of religion there also has been change or people who have taken control of India one such group are the Mughals. The Mugals took over India in 1519 lead by a man who said he was the decent of Genghis Khan who was once a Mugal leader. With the rule of the Mughals India was looking very bright with many great leaders. One of the greatest leaders was Akbar who some compared to Elizabeth of England; he was big on art and literature. When Akbar took control of the empire he was very young with that he had advisors who helped him through until he was older and he took full control of the empire himself. He ruled and empires with many religions to get Hindu support he threw out poll taxes which strengthen him rein as emperor. Akbar made the administration of system that linked land with military. This helped seeing commanders of troops with this system as with payment then you got 10 then you’d get 10,000 troops in your command.
Mughals brought their own type of art to India when they came it was know as Indo-Persian. With Abkar was big on building up his empire he mad schools, ponds, and great monuments. He also had Fathpur-Sikri built as a celebration for his first son being born. They built many great buildings under the Munghal rain such as the Lofty Portal which is called the perfect architectural achievement in India. Its color weathered to a soft rose. It has red pillars of sand stone with balconies and much more.

India
Well it the 7th largest continent and the 2nd most populated one. It has one of the largest mountain ranges the Hymnals. It’s a third world country it’s not very developed yet, but I have read that they are starting to industrialize which is good the country needs to improve. Its people have a red dot on their head I really don’t know what it stand for, but I think it has something to do with their god which has like 6 arms which is kind of crazy if you ask me. The main religion is Hinduism it’s like really popular there most of the people believe in it. Along with it there are also Buddhist and Jainism I don’t really know much about any of them other then that they are pretty old compared to most religions. So I really don't know alot about India thats pretty much it right there.

Reflection free write
In the book power of one Peekay is a pretty big deal from what has been read. I think he's like Flash the superhero because he's quick minded and quick with his hands as Flash is the faster person on earth. He's also like Superman he's for the people of Africa like Superman is for the people of the world. They all have special powers in some kind of way. He is and individual among people as he is really smart and a great boxer which he doesn't have in common with very many people in the story. So he's kind of a stand out among everyone else. He's is very successful through his life with the help of many people that make him great, even better than he would of been because of what they teach his in life is so great to him and helps him along the way. He is a hard working kid that doesn't take hand outs. Its like not cool to get handouts for him, he wants to make his own way through the world saying he did it himself not getting handouts from no one ever. The boy is also a great boxer he should of met Muhammad Ali because they were like the same kind of boxing both fast. Peekay had head then heart as what he went by, Ali had float like a butterfly sting like a bee. They could have been good together owning people. When he got the name tadpole angel he came something more than just a boxer white man. He became the symbol for Africa he was the true leader of Africa and noone else could be like him he had some kind of speical juju about him that made him way different then anyone before him so he was a big deal to the black people as he was a symbol of something new coming their way and to Africa.

The Power of One
The young boy Peekay has come a long way since the time in boarding school he has made many more friends and learned so much for a child his age, only eleven years old and he his smarter than most kids in any age. With his new friends come life lesson, but one of the most important lessons was just a saying by Doc.
Doc teaches Peekay many lessons through this time with Doc, from teaching him Latin, and all about planet and music. One day Doc gives Peekay one of most valuable saying that will stick with Peekay forever. “The searcher after truth must search with humanity. Ruthless logic is the sign of limited mind. The truth can only add to the sum of what you know, while a harmless mystery left unexplored it is better left as a mystery.” What I think Doc is telling Peekay is to keep an open mind know matter what. You want to be knowledgeable, but don’t always go with what other people say. See truth in many ways don’t close your mind about other even though its how others see them. Keep open minded an open hearted about others in life.
When Captain Smit and KlipKop find out what had happen to Geel they look for justice in their own way. Lieutenant Borman was responsible for his death. So Smit takes him to the gym and puts a beat down on him. With this you see the Captain Smit has over come the hate against Geel for being a kaffir. He has over comes his hate like all people for this man, yes it is only one put you see how they have come to realize that he was kind of a friend and opened their hearts to the old man. With the beating of Borman it put aside race it was kind of respect and love for Geel Peit as he was a great teacher for boxing and rubbed off on everyone. Captain Smit showed that he went cross the color line for someone he had a liking to and didn’t think the way he died was fit for Geel.
So with that we see that times are changing and that even though some one is different then you they can be someone special. To everyone at the Prison Geel was special even if they didn’t like to admit it he was a friend. Geel Peit had respect from everyone and will be missed. Smit showed that when he took Borman into and took it to him.
