Book Review: Stormbreaker

By Antoinette Durand

Why do I like this book? It's crazy and plain cheesy, but I keep coming back for the next book. Somehow, it's good. My favorite author(s) is/are Angie Thomas/John Greene. There is no way on Earth I would have read this, and kept reading the series, but I did.

It's a great book. Maybe I like cheesy spy novels, but this is good. I'm always waiting for what comes next, finishing the books in a day. Take this rating with a grain of salt, though. They're so overdone and cheesy, but still fantastic.

Russia

By Antoinette Durand

Russia, or the Russian Federation, is a European country located in Eastern Europe with a vast expanse of territory that stretches across Northern Asia.


The white color symbolizes nobility and frankness, the blue for faithfulness, honesty, and impeccability, and red for courage, generosity and love.


Russian Revolution:


The Russians had a monarchy, and the leader was called a tsar (zar) or king in English. World War I came, and many people blamed the tsar for entering the war and killing 2 million Russians. There was unrest in the people and they rioted. The tsar had to abdicate or give up his throne. A new government rose without the tsar.

For a few months, this government ruled the people. A man, Vladimier Lenin thought Russia should have a communist government. From 1918 to 1920, there was a civil war between people who thought communism was right and people who were against communism.


The communists won, and the USSR was born. The tsar and his family were shot on July 17, 1918.

People in Russia start school at age 6 and their basic general education stops 11 years later.

Russia relies on energy revenues to drive most of its growth. Russia has an abundance of oil, natural gas and precious metals, which make up a major share of Russia's exports. As of 2012, the oil-and-gas sector vaccounted for 16% of GDP, 52% of federal budget revenues and over 70% of total exports.

The ruble is subdivided into 100 kopecks. 1 Ruble is worth about 46 cents.

The religion in Russia is diverse with Christianity, especially Russian Orthodoxy being the most widely professed faith, but with significant vminorities of non-religious people and adherents of other faiths.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia and is regarded as a symbol of the country.Add—The building is now a museum. It was built from 1555 to 1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible.

It’s best to travel to Russia from May to October. Remember that some museums and churches might refuse admission if knees or shoulders aren’t covered. Men shouldn’t wear shorts. It takes between 13 to 16 hours to fly to Moscow. Enjoy Russia!

Show Review: History 101

By Antoinette Durand

History 101 is a show on Netflix that shares interesting facts about events. From modern-day feminism to nuclear energy, they talk about everything.

This is a show that should be shared with younger children. It’s great and informative.

History 101 is rated PG. The episode on Feminism does show women's bare chests in a form of protest.
