Don't Fire the Cardiovascular System.

Dear Human Body Corporation:

How could you?! I give you all I can, and you're going to fire me? Well, here are three reasons why I think you should reconsider. Reason number one is that without me no oxygen would go to the other cells. Reason number two is that without me, the Respiratory System would be doing all that work for nothing. Reason number three is that waste would build up from all the other cells. Those are the three reasons why you should not fire me.

I will go a little more in depth on my reasons. Reason number one. Like I said there would be no Oxygen going to the other cells. Cells need oxygen to live. So no oxygen to the cells, and all the cells would die. And when all the cells die you would die. I don't think a random disintegration would be very good for your company, don't you?

Anyways on to reason number two. Without me, the Respiratory System would have do all their work for nothing. Without me, the Respiratory System would be spitting all that good nutritious oxygen out of the body with no one using it. And like I said before, no oxygen means the cells die. No cells and you die.

My third reason is that waste would build up from all the other cells. The waste would clog up the working rooms. No one would be able to work in such cramped conditions. Everything in your body would stop working . And, once again, you would die. ( You would die a lot without me.)

And that is why you should not fire me. I am now going to restate my three reasons just so they can get caught in your brain. Reason number one is that no oxygen would get to the other cells without me. Reason number two is that without me the Respiratory System would do all that work for nothing. Finally, reason number three is that waste from all the other cells would build up. So, if you decide to fire me, you have just made the worst decision of your life.

Sincerely,
the Cardiovascular System

Book Review: The Golem's Eye

In The Golem's Eye, book two of the Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud,we find Nathanial, a high ranked wizard, in yet another adventure (as I said before, this is book two). Mayhem starts when a Golem attacks London. Nathanial and Bartimaus, the djini, must go to Prague to uncover the creator of the power scrolls that animate the Golems. While this is happening, a girl named Kitty, with a group called the Resistance, are planning to raid the tomb of Gladstone, a very powerful magician and the founder of London. While there all of  the members of the Resistance are killed by a crazy afrit entombed in the bones of Gladstone, except Kitty, who escapes with Gladstone's staff. . When Nathanial returns to London, he finds the afrit is going on a rampage around London searching for Kitty. So Nathanial, along with a lot of other magicians, send their demon servants (including Bartimaeus) to kill the afrit. Finally, when the afrit is killed, Nathanial goes to get the staff  back from Kitty only to have the Golem come back and try to kill him. Kitty comes and saves Nathanial by pulling the power scroll out of the Golem's mouth, and when the power scroll is pulled from the Golem's mouth the Golem returns to its master and crumbles to dust, So Nathanial and Bartimaeus decide to follow the Golem. They follow the Golem and discover that it was being used as a power play by Duvall, The Chief of Police. So for the recovery of the staff, and the discovery of the Golem's master, Nathanial is given the rank of Information Minister and Bartimaeus gets to return to the Other Place.

I think that the theme of The Golems Eye is to persevere and don't give up. I think this because Nathanial continued on his journey, even though he was falsely accused for telling London's secrets to foreign magicians. And I also think this because Kitty kept trying to beat the magicians even after everyone else in the Resistance was killed. One more reason that I think this is because Nathanial proved that all the attacks on London were from a Golem, not the Resistance. That is why I think the theme of The Golem's Eye is to persevere and don't give up.

I would suggest this book to other7th grade readers because I liked the characters in the book. Bartimaeus was probably my favorite character. Bartimaeus is a troublesome, enigmatic, and quick-witted djini. Bartimaeus always loves annoying Nathanial, his master. That is the main reason why I like Bartimaeus and I think you would like him too if you read the book.
