Hey! We’re back with journals again. Today in Bible we read starting at Revalation 12. I am not perticulary fond of Revalation. It is a little scary and confusing, and sometimes just plain weird. Today we read about a pregnant woman and Satan, who was trying to eat her baby as soon as it was born. (FYI, the baby made it out safely.) In Bible I also finished my book study on Ruth and did a character study on Josiah. (The child king who found the Book of the Law and started to follow it.) And guess what? Although he was a child when he became king, (he was eight) he wasn’t a kid anymore when he found the Book of the law. (He was in his twenties!)
I did two math lessons today. I am learning about Geometry right now. I like geometry, shapes are a lot more fun than numbers. I have a trick for remembering what you call the angles, it goes like this. When you have a angle that is smaller than a right angle it is called an acute angle. (Because it is small you call it a cute angle. Get it? A cute, acute.) Right angles are easy to remember and the last one gets narrowed down.
In history we learned about the rise of Joseph Stalin. How sad. If you combine him and Hitler you get a perfect picture of tyranny. Did you know his real name wasn’t Stalin? He changed it when he joined communism. Stalin means to steal, and he did. He stole human rights. While he was in charge 6 million Russians died of starvation, and 15 million went to prision. Most of those 15 million died while there.
