I was scared at first because I had to pull the rope and we were first! I was nervous I was scared I was going to pull it too hard or too soft. Was it going to go high or low? Will it explode or will our rocket break in mid-air? Will it go wrong. What if a rocket breaks before we put it on the Launch Pad? What if someone in our group is sick? What if we lose our rocket, what will happen? What will happen if the grass is too wet? What will happen if the launch pad brakes? What what if we don’t have enough water? What if we have a fire drill at the same time we should be launching our rockets? What if it snows? What if Miss Boyer is sick? What if the parents don’t come?

The day we launched our rockets came. We have to be at school at about 8:37 then we had to get all of our supplies and our rocket. Then we had to use a trundle wheel to track how far we had to go. Next we set up the launch pad. We also set up the pump we had to pump 90 PSI after that we filled the rocket with water. Next we put the rocket on the launch pad. Since our group was first and I was pulling the Rope. I had butterflies in my stomach, All of the parents were watching including my dad! I hope the Blasting Rockets don’t fail I said to myself.  They started the countdown 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5…4… 3… 2… 1 then I pulled.

It went so high but compared,  to the other ones it was very bad. We used a clinometer. To see how many meters it went, ours went 20 meters. The Highest one was J.E.X.L. there’s went 57.7 meters. The team that got 2nd place was Science Minds theres was 51 Meters. 3rd place is Rocketeers they got 49.5. Then LASA got fourth place with 34 Meters. We still did pretty good. 

Gol is a cow, but Katherine Applegate (author of Home of The Brave) also uses her as a symbol. How does Gol represent Kek’s past, present, and possibly his future?

Gol Simblises hope bye because there is a big connection. Gol help kek remember his family.Gol also helps kek remember the past. Kek is lonley he only has so many friends and he doen’t have any pictures to remember. Kek is lost he can’t find his way. Kek wants to be a good son. Kek is used to low teck. Kek misses his family. Gannwar cares about Kek. He wants every thing he lost. kek gets a job very quickly. Kek loves Gol. Kek is taking Gol to the zoo. Gol is “going off to his new land to start again” . I think this relates to keks futrue. Katherine Applegate uses a lot of simelies. Kek has a lot of hope. Kek finds his mom. Kek walks away as one person with his mom.
