1. There was a lot of things that happened in both chapters 4 and 5. In chapter 4, you can tell that the flood gets a bit worst. First Lizzie found a dead cow being pushed down in the river outside. Then from there, both Lizzie and David saw more objects and even animals, knowing how bad the situation is. A truck crashes against the house... it was all terrible. Now in the end of chapter 4, a window in the McBride's house shatters and explodes. Starting in chapter 5, Lizzie gets smashed against the wall with a loud thud. The air in her lungs have been forced out. Her back was in sharp pain. She didn't know what to do, but then she saw David with his flashlight and swam over to him on the stairs. While with David, he has a 6 inch gash below the elbow. Here it is getting worst because now the characters are getting physically hurt. Now they wake up Suzie. All four of them, Lizzie, David, Suzie, and even Daisy, had to get out of the house because the water was rising quick. They all get new clothes as fast as they can and put them on. They try to get onto the roof, it was the only way they could survive. They all had to get up, one at a time. In the end of chapter 5, Lizzie goes back down into the house, trying to get the first aid kit and a soda for Suzie. The chapter ends there.
2. I think the person who is developing the most is David. I like his character in these 2 chapters, because he is helping out Lizzie very well in the situation. He is cooperating well, and doesn't argue as much as he used to. I also think Lizzie is great. She is trying her best to keep the 2 children alive, which is technically her job as a babysitter. No matter how much pain she may be in from the cold water, she continues what she's doing to keep everyone safe.
3. The newer challenges between the characters are being able to work together without having to argue, as this is a serious situation where joking around has to be set aside. The water is rising up in the house, so they need to stay in the safer area, which I think is the roof for now. Also, Mr. and Mrs. McBride or Lizzie's dad hasn't arrived yet, so they need to work as a team.
4. I think this is a pretty important part of the story. The flood is getting worst, the rivers are up to most people's knees or higher, you can see dead animals in the water, and all the power is out. We never know what can happen next in the story, whether they make it alive or not. Also, we get to see more out of the characters in the chapter, as we get to see more of their personality.
5. Unless if you have not read the other chapters, no one can be really sure what will happen next in the following chapter. But I think that the water will stop rising, and the kids will turn out safe. The next problem they'll have to face is how to get rid of all the water everywhere, especially the house, because the water in there is how many feet deep...

Spirit Day 2oo9 ~ .
On Saturday, November 28 2009, we went to a special event called Spirit Day. We left the school early in the morning at 10:30am and got home late at 10:30pm. We spent almost 12 hours there. It was a very long and exciting day, but even though, on the way home, none of us were tired or slept on the bus. We were all talking about how fun the day was and that we wanted to stay even longer. We all learned a lot of things and I would like to have that same experience again.
When we first got into the school, I didn't know what we were going to do first. We actually had a few games. My favorite one was "Funky Chicken". It's where one person would say, "let me see your *insert person or animal here*!" And the rest of the people would go, "What's that you say?!" And they repeat that 2 or 3 times then the one person would do an action related to the person/animal. ex. For Spongebob you would say "I'm ready! I'm ready!" That was a great way to start the day and I was laughing for almost the whole time.
One of my favorite parts were Brad and Gene's acts. They were very entertaining, you couldn't keep your eyes off the stage, which made it good. They were excellent jugglers... and comedians. From Brad, it was funny when he taught us how to quickly tie a tie... and with Gene, I enjoyed watching him struggle to get out of the straightjacket! Both acts were very funny. Sometimes they did tell some stories about their families which were very touching. Like Brad, he told us the story about his sister Britney, who had a disability and had a lot of challenges to overcome. The thing is that he focused more on what he did for her, how it made him feel and such, not that fact that she passed away or how she did.
Another one of my favorite parts is the singing. Matt Meher is awesome... my favorite song is 'Alive Again'. I can relate to that song in a way... I also liked the song "Glorious"... I pretty much liked them all. Sometimes I go to YouTube and listen to those songs. It was fun clapping, singing, and even dancing to the songs. They all had a meaning related to God.
The 'So You Think You've Got Talent Crew Idol" game was very fun to watch. It turned out funny in the end because none of the contestants won... Matt Meher did! It taught us that winning isn't everything and when you are doing something, you do it because you enjoy it and have fun. Not because you want to win.
I met... or atleast saw... some people I know from other schools. We all also saw Lily again, a classmate and good friend of mostly the girls since gr.6. We also saw Noah, our classmate we used to have back in gr.5 who transferred to Capilano Elementary School. There was also Nelson and Dominik, 2 of our other past classmates in the younger years. They haven't changed much and it was great to see alot of people, enjoying the same thing as us.
That Saturday was a very fun day. If it were possible I'd like to attend it again with my class... I will not forget the great experience I had. We learned many things and Spirit Day was a great time for us to get ready for Confirmation.
