Rube Goldberg Blog #1

 

When rube goldberg started, Miss Cooper said to get into a group of two, three, four or being a solo, me and my friend Alex decided we would be partners a week before Ms. Cooper told us about it. We knew we would do good because we had both done rube goldberg before at a camp. We were thinking about adding a third person. But then we realized we would have to find a time that worked for everyone. So we decided it would be easier as a duo. Me and Alex decided that we would work at my house because it had a big open room that is empty and that no one in my family used. We also decided that we would work every Tuesday and Thursday before hockey practice.  We decided to use for our materials dominoes, hot wheels tracks, match box cars and a hockey puck.

Similarities And Differences Between the Book and Movie of “Because of Winn-Dixie”

In the book “Because of Winn-Dixie”, one similarity is that Opal was generous and  brought all different types of people together.  Another similarity is that Winn-Dixie had an irrational fear of thunder.  The last similarity is that all the characters both in the book and the movie had the same names
There were also differences between the book and the movie.  The first difference was that there was no character named Mr. Alfre in the book.  The second difference between the book and the movie was that in the movie the Dewberry brothers told Opal about Carson, Amanda’s brother drowning.  Whereas in the book, the Preacher told Opal about Carson. Finally, the last difference is that the Preacher didn’t go to the party in the movie, but in the book, he did go.
