My favorite movie is Cars. This movie takes place in a little town on Historic Route 66. In the movie, Lightning McQueen is trying to win the Piston Cup (like the Sprint Cup in NASCAR). On his way to the final race, he gets himself lost in Radiator Springs. While racing through the town, Lightning tears up the main road and finds himself in trouble with the law. No one in the town knows who he is and, unfortunately, Lightning is so full of himself that he has no manners or friends to help save him. While working to fix the road, Lightning becomes friends with the town people. During his time in Radiator Springs, he figures out what truly matters in life which is a life changing realization.

My favorite tv show probably has to be Bewitched. It is sometimes mysterious because Samantha (main character) is married to a mortal and she does weird spells that seem to cause him lots of problems. Her mother, who is a witch also, always shows up and twists her spells. Darin (the husband) always gets mad at Samantha for doing witchcraft when she promised she wouldn’t do it. At the end of each show she always finds a way to fix the problem caused by the spells.

My favorite movie would be Scary movie 4. I like this movie because it makes fun of scary movies and makes the movie funny. When I saw the first sacry movie I thought it would be scary because of its name. It was actually very funny. If you are looking for a really funny movie series this series is awsome for you!!!!!

HI! I agree with Riley and Kelsey. I like both of those movies! MY FAVORITE BOOK WOULD HAVE TO BE THE WAYSIDE SCHOOL SERIES!! The reason I LOVE those books is because they make me laugh out loud!! HA HA!! Although that might be a good way to be interested in the book, there is more than that!! IT makes you laugh, jump for joy, and feel engaged with the book. If you like this way of saying then you should definetly read the Wayside School Series!!

Hope you like the books!!

Hi my name is Camryn Elleson I would have to say Full House to be on my top list of t.v. shows it’s about a big party full of family members that always on of the family members have and soon the Dad Danny always finds out and they have to sit down and talk its very funny with Joey [funny character]and Jessie [hair man]. Its funny ,mysterious and very sad sometimes. If you like all these things then I suggest you should try to watch it. P.S. it is by the channel 309 or so.
