First off I would like to say that baseball is awesome and I love it. Baseball is a sport I have been playing since I was six. I have devoted myself to a travel ball team and I have accomplished much on that team.

Now a short rant about baseball,

To start off my team name is Riptide

Also, my record for this previous season was 16 wins and 8 loses. My favorite baseball player is Mookie Betts which is the reason why I wear the number 50 on my baseball jersey. I also hit my first home run this this season which was a big deal for me since I have worked a lot on hitting.

My team also went to a Cal Ripken baseball facility for a tournament where we went 5 wins and 0 loses to win the tournament. This is a big accomplishment for my team as we have been working hard and practicing a lot.

And that concludes my short rant. Thank You!

History of Halloween in the United States:

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31st. You probably already know about the costumes and trick or treating but do you know the real history behind Halloween? Halloween originally started with the Ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain when people would make fires and wear costumes to ward away phantoms on November 1st. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III made November 1st as a time to remember all the Saints Day.  Then eventually All Saints Day got added to Samhain traditions.The day before all Saints day was first known as Hallows Eve. Then eventually evolved into the Halloween we know today with all the costumes and trick or treating.

Oh and here’s what I wore for Halloween (this isn’t actually me)

First I want to say that I LOVEDDDDD the Percy Jackson Series. I think that the series is a master piece by Rick Riordan (the author).

Ok, the first book, called The Lightning Thief, got me hooked to read the rest. The first book was on of my favorites. On my scale I would rate it at 3.

Then the second book called The Sea of Monsters was a great book but it just didn’t hit with me. So on my scale it goes at 5. However, in this book I enjoyed how they found Tyson and I liked Percy’s indifference about Tyson.

Next is the third book, called The Titans Curse. I ranked this at two because this was one of my favorite books, I loved it because of the way Artemis goes missing and there is a whole quest to find her. I also thought it was cool how when they found Artemis holding up the sky her and Percy tricked the titan Atlas into having to carry the sky. It is also very impressive how Percy holds the weight of the sky even though it’s only for a few seconds.

Next up we have Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth. For me this was a very difficult decision between this book and the Lightning Thief for spot number three. In the end I rated it one lower because the story line is a bit more confusing. It is still a great story though.

Finally, the number one book on my chart is the last book in the series called The Last Olympian this is my favorite book because in this book everything is revealed. I always think this is super cool to find out everything that you don’t know. However this book was so cool because there is a huge monster named Typhon and he almost destroys all of the United States. But instead

Here is my completed ranked chart of the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan (not including the 6th extra story)

1. Percy Jackson the Last Olympian

2. Percy Jackson and the Titans Curse
