Where do new ideas come from?

That's an easy question, ideas come from brains. Well no. Or they do actually but mostly ideas come from other thoughts and other thoughts come from experiences and experiences come from things that you do and... Anyway the point is that ideas come from thoughts. For example when people thought of flying and birds that fly etc., they came up with an idea to build a plane. And so they did and thanks to them we have planes now so that we can travel all around the world.

My favorite short story from our unit.

Our unit on short stories has just ended and we read few intresting stories. But which one is my favorite? I find that actually hard to answer to because I like both "The Sniper" and "Lamb to the Slaughter". I have to say though, that Lamb to the Slaughter was bit better than The Sniper. The story in Lamb to the Slaughter was really smart but also kind of weird. It was really cool how Mrs. Maloney was smart and tricky. The Sniper isn't a bad story either. I like its theme and the mood it creates. Also I'm interested in all that kind of war stuff so this story was for me if you know what I'm saying. So both stories were great and that gives me a great start for our next unit, whatever it is...
