In Language Arts class, we read a book called, The Last Cuentista. During this we annotated, read, and made a book. This book was about making a world of how we want to see it. If we could make a world with our rules, and completely based off of how we see it. This is mine.
Kilos4473
Planet Kilos4473 has come a long way, with the ice glacier island on the bottom, the tropical forest on the top, the beach paradise on the west, and the wooded area with cities and oceans on the East. These didn’t show up automatically; it took centuries. This planet is a mutation of Planet Kilos2243. After years of trying to make that planet work, people gave up. This planet is full of different climates, scenery, and people.
When the first ship arrived in Kilos4473, we didn’t see the potential. The sky was dark, there was dust and fog in the air. The tropical forest was just a bunch of dead bushes, and the beaches were dried-up sand with only a puddle of water left. The ice glaciers were just caves, and the woods, oh boy, the woods were just dead trees in a desert. When we first arrived, there was no hope. We had all given up. We started to make buildings by the woods, and the water from the tools landed by the dead trees, and over time, that water started to make the trees grow. When the trees started growing they grew and grew until they were so tall that you had to look up to look at them. The water started to build up and created oceans, which soon attached to the sand, creating beaches. The beaches were peaceful, the ocean was nice, light, teal, see-through color, palm trees were everywhere, and the sunsets were beautiful. Almost every day, there was a sunset with purple and pink lighting that reflected onto the ocean. On the southern part of the planet, the air started to grow cold and eventually got so cold the rain started to freeze, creating the perfect atmosphere for glaciers to form, and soon enough they did. After months and months of working the buildings were made, there were enough houses for everyone, and the type of house was determined by how much they wanted to spend. The work buildings were made, and the tall glass skyscrapers were so tall they could see them for miles. But there was one thing on the planet that was weird. People had to raise their necks all the way up to look at the top of it. Once in a while, the rain came, and once in a while, it turned into three times a month.
No one has seen what has happened to the rainforest if anything has changed, or if it has stayed the same. But no one will go and check because, from what they can see, the woods are dark and eerie. Weird noises come out of the forest. People claim to be able to hear their own thoughts louder, like they’re saying it out loud when they’re not. It shakes the ground like an earthquake but the sound comes out in their own voice, like they can’t control what they’re saying or doing anymore. The closer they get, the more they lose themselves. In our other world, we call it depersonalization. It was hard to believe at first. Only they could hear it; I didn’t believe it until I heard it myself. To this day, no one has ever been able to go inside, and to this day, we still hear the noises. I hope one day we’ll figure out what has been driving us all insane. Lately, the rainforest has been awfully loud like it’s intentionally doing it to mess with us. Whatever’s in there isn’t good and hopefully, it will never come out because if it did, I think we would all be done for.
The city has animals, people, buildings, and parks. We have everything we could’ve hoped for. The air is nice and cold most of the time. The sun is sometimes out, and when it is, it glows nice and bright. The animals run around at night, which looks so cool because of their bioluminescence. They got that from our old world, and it never went away. There’s no violence or pollution so people can walk around freely with fresh air everywhere and without a care in the world about something happening. This world is slowly coming together, and hopefully, we won’t have to move planets again. The city is running out of space, and doing the same thing repeatedly can get tiring, so hopefully, we can expand into the glaciers or the beaches. Hopefully, once we get more land, we can change a few things and add certain things, like more parks, national forests, museums, lakes, etc. Those things can bring joy to people alive now and the people that will come in the future.
Although everyone has everything they could wish for, every day is the same one over again. Everyone created a schedule when we first landed, and it never changed and we’re all starting to realize it might never change. The world at the start was perfect and fun, but it felt more like a chore after doing something all the time. Sometimes, change is for the better. Even the tiniest things, like sleeping in late or shopping instead of going home, can make a big difference. Perfect is only perfect until perfect becomes normal, and normal is only normal until normal becomes boring. It’s just the run-of-the-mill.
The average day is someone waking up, going to work, taking their personal choice of an afternoon activity, going home, cooking, and going to sleep unless they are on vacation on the beaches. We plan to start living in other parts of the world, to expand our population and get different styles of living. Life would be colder than usual in the ice glaciers, but we can make art out of the ice and make a museum or an ice skating rink or more fun activities for people to go and see out of the city. The ice glaciers can get so pretty when the purple moonlight shines on them, and they turn all these different colors and they’re so shiny it’s so pretty. Especially when the aurora comes out with various colors, it just makes the place feel unreal like dreaming or in a cold and beautiful paradise. That is what living in the ice glaciers would be like.
The beaches nowadays are always a fun place. The air is always warmer so people can go and get a tan or live in warm weather whenever they want. On the top of the sand are docs that lead into these houses that range from tiny cottages to big fancy houses, it all relies on their opinion on what they want. The sand is a nice light tan color and can heat up quickly, but the farther someone goes, the cooler it gets from the water. The water’s temperature isn’t too cold, but it isn’t too hot. It’s also not warm, it’s a little more on the colder side. The color on the water is a nice light teal color that is seen through so everyone can see exactly what’s going on in the water. At night, if anyone enters the water, it starts to glow a nice light blue color because of its bioluminescence. It looks so pretty it almost looks unreal. In the afternoon, when the sun starts setting, it creates a beautiful sunset filled with many colors. In the morning, at sunrise, it’s like the same thing, but in pastel colors a great way to start off the day.
That is what happens and what Kilos4473 looks like. This planet is a beautiful creation, and hopefully, as time goes on and as generations come and go the planet will evolve and get even more beautiful and create bigger cities and more places to go and adventure. Hopefully, as humans grow, the planet will grow with us, so we all become better. This planet has already come a long way, and one day, we won’t need to change anything; it’ll be perfect and a paradise for everyone. Everyone wants the same thing: a place to live that includes ideas from everyone so everyone lives happily and never has to worry about their living situation. That is Planet Kilos4473.
A couple weeks ago we started a challenge that was for daily habits. We started a challenge called the Plank Challenge. This means we started at a 30 second plank and went up 15 seconds every week. It was a challenge but we had to plan for the time we were doing every day. The more you practice things the easier they get. So practicing every day out of class helped make the planks easier. Every day I slowly got better, this is called a daily habit. Daily habits can have positive or negative impacts on your life. It depends on what your habit is; if your habit is good and it’s something that will help others or you it can have a positive effect, but if it is a negative habit like being mean or not staying healthy it can cause negative impacts on your life. For me the plank challenge was a good habit. It was good for me to keep up with something everyday and slowly get better at it. The outcome to practicing was really helpful from the actual timed challenge at the end. In the end I planked for 3 minutes and 33 seconds which is good for me because we had only gone up to 2 minutes and 15 seconds when we practiced as a class. The thing that helped remind me was that I wrote it down somewhere, it didn’t matter where as long as I was able to check something and it reminded me I was able to do it. Sometimes I wrote it on my hand or on notes. The main thing that helped me remember was writing it down in my planner. My planner is also a good habit because it helps me remember my things and stay organized. That habit helped me remember to keep this habit consistent and helpful. That is how having a habit that is relevant to something can be beneficial to what you’re doing.
The book I chose was The Final Child by Fran Dorricott, The Final Child is a window to me. It doesn’t have a connection to me as it’s more me looking into another person’s perspective on the situation there. A window is when you’re looking into a person’s life and it doesn’t really have a connection to your life, but a mirror is when the book you’re reading reflects on events or feelings you have in your life. The Final Child is about a girl who was kidnapped when she was younger but has no memory about it whatsoever, all she remembers is her brother right before everything went black. After that happened she never remembered what happened and she never found out where and what happened to her brother. She spends months looking at other abductions that are believed to be from the same person. She looks into it more and investigates, she slowly is gaining back memories from that night. She finds her brothers still locked up there but her brother is trying to hurt her. She lights the house on fire, trapping the brother in there hoping that will stop him. She makes a book about everyone who lost a kid and the experiences. The book than ends in a sort of cliff hanger, basically saying that the brother might come back at any time and that he is still alive and out there.
