It's about time I had an all-picture post. So, here are some pictures that will make you lol!

Disney Princesses & Divergent

I know, they have nothing in common. Or do they? If the Disney princesses lived in the world of Divergent, what faction would they choose? Hmmmmmm.





Dauntless: Mulan, because she is bravest when she knows she is doing the right thing and would risk everything for her family and friends.

Amity: Snow White, because she is sweet, generous and avoids conflict as much as possible. (plus, she's wearing red and yellow)

Candor: Pocahontas because she always says what's on her mind, even if it isn't easy to hear.

Erudite: Belle because she  is always reading and trying to learn something about the world.

Abnegation: Tiana, because she works very hard, and never asks for anything in return, even if others are making fun of her.

Divergent: Merida is Dauntless and Candor, because she always thinks her opinion is the truth, and she is happiest when she is out on an adventure.

How to Play House

Do you know what my little sisters like to play with their BFFs? House. I am an oddball, because I HATE playing house, probably because I have way too much imagination to carry a baby doll around the basement. So for all you babysitters, here is how to play house and actually enjoy yourself.

1. Haunted House
Your house is haunted, and one of you can be the ghost!
2. Wizards at Home
Where do wizards go when they graduate Hogwarts? XD
3. Castaways
Me and my friend play this all the time. (Think island huts and stuff)
4. Superheroes
Has anyone seen the Incredibles?
5. Talk Show
This is a LOT more fun than it sounds! :P

So if you are tired of carrying baby dolls around in your basement, try one of these!

Cleopatra

Cleopatra Is More Than A Princess

Who was born royalty, lived over 2000 years ago, and is often mistaken for a ditzy, exotic princess?  Cleopatra, of course.  What is one of the greatest awards a person could ever earn?  The Person Of the Millenium Award, of course.  I think Cleopatra should be Person Of the Millenium, because she was a great queen.  So, what’s so great about Cleopatra?

Well, she was the ruler of Egypt.  Cleopatra was loved and trusted by her people.  She protected Egypt from becoming part of Rome for many years.   Secondly, she was an ally to the good Romans.  During Roman civil wars, she helped Julius Caesar and Mark Antony by giving them ships, soldiers and supplies.  On the flip side, Cleopatra was too protective of her throne.  She even killed some of her siblings so that she and her son could rule!  That’s pretty bad, but it was common back then and her siblings were threatening to kill her!  Lastly, Cleopatra died for Egypt.  The Romans captured her, and if she let that happen, a lot of bad things would happen.  She committed suicide to protect Egypt and she felt she had nothing left to live for.

In conclusion, Cleopatra was a pretty cool person.  Again, I think she should become person of the millenium because she was a good ruler, helped the good Romans, and died for Egypt.  You can learn more about Cleopatra at your local library.  -Monica Todd
