A demolition derby is like a race but you try to immobilize other opponents so you can win. This article really did not change my knowledge it just made me know a little more about cars and auto mobiles.

This article really did not change my knowledge it just made me know a little more about cars and auto mobiles. Then reason I picked this article is because it had something to do with cars and the book im reading right now is about cars. This article was very interesting and a demolition derby looks really cool."Demolition Derby." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. Scholastic Grolier Online, gme.grolier.com/article?assetid=0083030-0

Your writing seems kind of vague here...You've also got a few basic proofreading errors!

Ford's Theatre was built in 1863 and had housed many famous plays. Abraham Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. The theatre closed but in 1893 the building collapsed killing 22 people. The theatre was renovated and reopened in February 2009.

I knew that Abraham Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theatre and I have actually been there. What surprised me is that the whole theatre collapsed in 1893, I thought that the theatre would be strong.

The article I read was about Albert Einstein. When Albert was 23 he wrote a series on his theories about the physical world. In 1933 Hitler began to kill Jews. 1939 Albert moved to America. Albert wrote a letter to Roosevelt about the atomic weapons. The government organized a search project to make these weapons and in 1945 these bombs were dropped in Japan and the war stopped.

IT told me that hiv is a virus. IT call human immunodeficiency virus. Hiv weaken the immune system. It also says how it spreads. It says that HIV s present in body fluids and it can only spread throw certain fluids. It said the virus can from chimpanzees. They were infected by the exposed blood.

The thing that surprised me was that the government actually used that atomic weapons when Albert told them about it and that it actually worked and stopped the war.

my article was about self reliance. In my article it shares how self reliance is needed in order to trust yourself physically and intellectually. Hence the name self reliance. (being able to trust yourself.) Nothing in this article really altered my thinking or confirmed anything.

My article was about engineering/engineers. It talked abut there concerns like the materials they are going to use and how much they cost. It also talks about the different branches of engineering. for example there is Biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and Marine engineering.

My article is about the steady-state theory. This theory suggests that the density of galaxies don't change with time. This means one hydrogen atom is made per cubic kilometer per year. So in this way the density stays the same. This theory seems logical to me because it also agrees with the idea how slowly galaxies change and we cant realize it.

What surprised me is that the earliest guitars were found in Egypt, and only later did guitars spread to Europe. I've heard of all the famous guitar players, and I was surprised to see Carlos Santana because Paul Reed Smith built guitars for him.

On Grolier, I chose to follow my nonfiction book subject, dogs. I chose an article called "Husky" by Leroy E. Leonard. This article is about the breed of dog, the Husky, and their history. The Husky is a famous sledding dog, especially in North America and Greenland.

This changed my understanding of Huskies because I kind of knew that they were sledding dogs but I always thought they were used mostly for pets in Alaska and North America, not Greenland. It did, however, confirm the fact that there are many different types of the Husky, including the Siberian Husky.

The article I read was about the pop warner football league. Something interesting I learned was pop warner is a league in different countries to. Like Japan, Mexico and England. The league started in 1929. One thing that that confirmed what I knew is the league was started by Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner. The league is grouped by age and weight. One last thing that surprised me was there are 4,500 teams with 300 teams.

This article was about the best player to ever play in the NBA..... Michael Jordan. This article talked about what he did in his career like winning 6 NBA championships, being selected on the All NBA first team, won the NBA scoring titles 10 times, winning Rookie of the Year, All NBA Defensive first team, and won 5 NBA MVP awards. They talked about how his hard work and effort to be the greatest of all time. And how he retired 3 times! The last thing they talked about was his career stats......... 32,292 points, 6,672 rebounds, 5,633 assists,2,514 steals, and was selected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009. All this about Michael Jordan just confirmed my saying of this man being THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!

The article that I read was very informational towards my non-fiction novel. It said that turtles have a protective shell around their bodies to help protect them from anything trying to eat or harm them. I never knew that turtles had such a protective. I was also surprised that turtles can also live in ponds, rivers, lakes, running streams, and roadside ditches. And the final thing that I was surprised about was that turtles have other defense techniques than just their shell.

My article was about Ladainian Tomlinson I did him because he is one of my favorite NFL players of all time even though I cant spell his name. This article tells me about some of the most insane records he broke like the most consecutive games with a touchdown (18). LT became the first player in NFL history to have 100 catches and 1000 rushing yards in the same season. LT also had 4 touchdown passes and they were each for 20 plus yards. This didn't really change very much but it did confirm some things like him being one of the beat one of the greatest running backs records

My article was about dolphins. It discussed about the size of the animal and the species. The dolphin has over 30 species of dolphins. It surprised me of the amount of species. That changed my thinking.

I learned one of Stephen King's novels he made was called ''Carrie" and it is one of his most popular novels he has ever made. He has also made "The shining" and " Pet Semetary which I have seen before. They have been made into movies which are in the category of horror. This confirmed what I knew because I have seen those movies and many of people know of the name "Stephen King.
