Barrie “AL Ifyou shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colors suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the colors become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire. But just before they go on fire you see the lagoon. This is the nearest you ever get to it on the mainland, just one heavenly moment; if there could be two moments you might see the surf and hear the mermaids singing. The children often spent long summer days on this lagoon, swimming or floating most of the time, playing the mermaid games in the water, and so forth. You must not think from this that the mermaids were on friendly terms with them: on the contrary, it was among Wendy's lasting regrets that all the time she was on the island she never had a civil word from one of them. When she stole softly to the edge of the lagoon she might see them by the score, especially on Marooners’Rock, where they loved to bask, combing out their hair in a lazy way that quite irritated her; or she might even swim, on tiptoe as it were, towithin a yard of them, but then they saw her and dived, probably splashing her with their tails, not by accident, but intentionally. They treated all the boys in the same way, except of course Peter, who chatted with them on Marooners! Rock by the hour, and sat on their tails when they got cheeky. He gave Wendy one of their combs. The most haunting time at which to see them is at the turn of the moon, when they utter strange wailing cries; but the lagoon is dangerous for mortals then, and until the evening of which we have now to tell, Wendy had never seen the lagoon by moonlight, less from fear, for of course Peter would have accompanied her, than because she had strict rules about everyone being in bed by seven. She was often at the lagoon, however, on sunny days after rain, when the mermaids come up in extraordinary numbers to play with their bubbles. The bubbles of many colors made in rainbow water they treat as ball hitting them gaily from one to another with their tails, and trying to keep them in the rainbow till they burst. The goals are at each end of the rainbow, and the keepers only are allowed to use their hands, Sometimes a dozen of these games will be going on in the lagoon at a time, and it is quite a pretty sight. 1. List three or more things that the mermaids do 2. Match each word to its meaning, in the lagoon. vivid opposite contrary make a sound with one’s voice bask intensely bright utter lie exposed to warmth and light 3.What did the author mean when he wrote, “You must not think from this that the mermaids were on friendly terms” with the children?

His parents had immigrated, or moved, from Romania. Stanley and his brother, Larry, watched his parents struggle to earn enough money during the Great Depression. The Great Depression was a time in history where there were not enough jobs and people often did not have enough Money. Stanley, who shortened his name to Stan Lee, became a writer and was hired to work for Timely Comics (which would eventually become Marvel Comics) in 1939. He served in the US Army during World War Il as a writer and illustrator. In 1961, Lee created the Fantastic Four comic series with Jack Kirby. It was very popular! Lee went on to create many other popular superheroes including the Hulk, Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. Lee was known for allowing his heroes to deal with real life issues as well as “super” problems. He was also known for including some humor in his comics. Lee then went on to encourage films based on his comics. This resulted in many popular movies such as The Avengers, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, and many more! If you watch closely, you will find Stan Lee in all of the Marvel movies. Stan Lee died on November 12, 2018 at 95 years old.

When Ada was a child, her mother encouraged her to study math. At the time, it was unusual for women to study math and science, even if they were wealthy. In 1833, she met mathematician Charles Babbage at a party. Charles, known as the father of the computer, made a machine that could calculate math problems. It was called the difference engine. Once Charles found out that Ada was interested in math, they became good friends. He showed Ada the difference machine and she was fascinated by it. Charles then took Ada under his wing and taught her about his research during the next several years. Painting of Ada Lovelace About ten years later, Charles had an idea for a new mathematical machine. A fellow scientist had written an article about it, but it was in French. Charles asked Ada to translate the article for him. Not only did she translate the article, but she added her own notes and ideas, After she added her notes, the article became three times longer than the original! She used the initials A.A.L for Augusta Ada Lovelace to publish the English version of the article. ‘Ada died from uterine cancer in London on November 27, 1852. She was 36 years old. Many of Ada's ideas are still used in computers today. Her work went unnoticed until the 1950s. It was then that scientists realized how revolutionary her ideas were. In 1980, the United States Department of Defense named a new computer language “Ada to recognize her past contributions, Now she is considered by many to be the world's first computer programmer.

Most creatures live on the forest floor, where they can find enough food. The tall trees also protect them from the rain and sun. Would you like to meet some of these small, quiet creatures? Bend down. Do you see the beetles? They like to dig homes in the ground or hide in tree bark. They are small but very important because they are food for woodpeckers and other forest birds. Look up and see another forest insect—the beau- tiful orange-and-black American Monarch butterfly. Each fall, thousands of them fly down the Pacific coast of the North American continent. Sometimes they fly from Canada! Monarchs are the only insect that flies so far every year and then returns to where it came from. Did you know... Just a few kinds of insects live in redwood forests. The trees make tannin, a strong, burning chemical that insects dislike. Copyright © 2017 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
