On February 9, 2012, Yankee Doodle Dandy came to Fairytale Village. When he arrived, he was riding a fashionable pony as usual. He was wearing a hat with a feather that he called macaroni that he said he created himself. He spent all night dancing with the girls. The next day he went to visit his dad and Captain Goodwin at Camp Old Oakwood. They stood around the fire as thick as hasty pudding talking about what they were going to do. They finally decided to take his dad and Captain Goodwin dancing the rest of the night. The next day Yankee Doodle Dandy left Fairytale Village to go back to his home in Hollywood where he will spend his days creating new trends that usually include a feather and a hat.

My favorite app is Jetpack Joyride. You start the game blasting through a brick wall with a jetpack attached to your back. You then find coins all along the way that you can collect to help gain points to buy bonus packs and special features. While flying through the game, you are faced with many obstacles. One is to not touch the electricticutor that are aligned along the way. They also shoot rockets at you that you have to try and avoid. They also have lasers that appear once in awhile while playing, that if you touch you die automatically. After a while of playing, a special coin appears and if you collect it you get a free spin at the end of the game. If you get three matches then you can get a prize .
Pitch Perfect

Its a funny entertaining movie that a lot of people love. The characters in the movie are absolutely hilarious. Its a funny movie anyone would enjoy. It shows amazing acapella music in it to. It mainly about a girl named Beca(Anna Kendrick) who goes to Barden University to become a DJ and somehow she ends up joining the all girls acapella group at the university.When joining this group she makes new “friend” who is in the rival acapella group at the university. She also finds herself trying to get Aubry (the main leader of the acapella group) to consider changing their style. She has an interesting journey trying to get the girls to nationals. All though if you want to see if they win you’ll have to watch the movie for yourself. Kids anywhere from 12 and up. Its a family movie thats hilarious to watch together.

I think we should have school uniforms. Schools that have uniforms tend to not have dress code issues, and it’s fairly easy for kids to dress themselves in the morning. It would also be cheaper to buy school uniforms then having to buy regular clothes so often. Many people also wouldn’t get made fun of for what they wear to school if everybody had uniforms. Everybody would also look the same.
