The story starts out with Annie getting the flu and not being able to go on a date with Harry. And then Annie, talks with her little brother, Mike, that he didn’t have to wear a mustache. She didn’t want Mike to wear a mustache because a few days ago, he went to the movies with Cindy and the person at the movies making people pay money charged Mike full price, even though he showed her his driver’s licence. And then his mom said that his Grandmother probably wouldn’t recognize him. Mike’s Grandmother lived at a hospital and was diagnosed with arteriosclerosis, which is a chronic disease, which makes sense, because Mike’s grandmother is very old. Mike went to visit his Grandmother. His first impression of the nursing home that his grandmother was staying at was the air was sterile. He couldn’t smell or taste anything. He found the room for his grandmother and found her in her bed. He was relieved that his grandmother called him Mike. And then she started talking about random stuff that Mike didn’t know about. And then she started asking for forgiveness from Mike. And then Mike realized that she recognized Mike as her husband, not her grandson. And then his grandma fell asleep and Mike left. And then he went home, went upstairs and took out the electric razor Annie gave him for Christmas and shaved off his mustache. 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Austria in 1756. Mozart’s father, Leopold was a professional musician, so Mozart would be too, right? Leopold began teaching Mozart clavier pieces when Mozart was only 4 years old. It started out as fun, but young Mozart surprised everyone by repeating the pieces perfectly. He also began composing little pieces. Leopold thought this was his chance to be famous, so he toured around Germany, France, and also England. They had to travel by horse and cart, and suffered from illnesses. They also didn’t get paid for a while, either, so times were tough. When Mozart was 17, he got a job as a court musician for Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. But, he got bored of Salzburg. In 1777, he left Salzburg, and went to Paris in 1778, looking for a job. He went back to Salzburg, and his father got him a job as a court organist. He constantly fought with his employer, Archbishop Colloredo, which was rude to him. When he tried to quit, he was not allowed to, but finally, he did. Mozart was done working with others, so he moved to Vienna in 1881. From now on, he will work for himself. His career started out well, everyone loved his music, and he even played piano for the Emperor. Over the years, he made lots of Piano concertos, and he performed everywhere. He had lots of money, and him and his wife moved to a luxury apartment, and started spending. In 1785, Haydn, himself, told Mozart’s father, that his son was the best composer ever known to him. In 1786, his first opera in 4 years was released. It was a success in Vienna and even more successful in Prague. Then, his fame went down. Austria was at war. Less and less people listened to his music. In 1786, he started to perform less and less in public. He tried to get famous again by taking trips to other European cities. But in 1790, he performed better, he made music that people liked, and his fame started to grow. In 1791 he was at a premiere for his latest opera. But he got sick. He was confined to bed towards the end of the year. His wife nursed him on his deathbed. He tried to write his last piece. He finally died on December 5, 1791. aged 35. He was buried in Vienna.

Global warming is bad. What global warming is doing is melting polar ice caps and causing the rise of sea levels. Which cause floods and people to lose their lives and their homes. So, how can we prevent global warming? You could, use electric vehicles. Maybe stop using fossil fuels. Stop wasting water and food. Kill less animals. Stop using factories. Lastly, stop using your electronics. Also, plant more trees and plants. Why do we need to stop this global warming? Because global warming is causing droughts, which cause crops to dry up, which also causes world hunger. Also, it is making the polar ice caps melt and make the sea levels rise and people’s houses flood and lives are lost. So, we need to stop global warming.

So, as the students went into class, expecting a care-free week, Miss Awful comes out and tells them to form into straight lines and basically sounds like a drill sergeant from the boot camps. She orders people around to do everything. She seemed like a mean teacher. She said that she had taught students for forty-six years. And, she cares about the homework assignment that Roger didn’t think he would. As she comes around to his desk, he drops his book bag, and inside is a spool of string, baseball cards, and a water gun. Then she scolds him about bringing in toys to school.
