Climate
Portugals climate is niether too hot nor too cold. It all depends on the area that you are in and the time of year that you are there. More people come in the spring time because it is nice and sunny, and just about the perfect time to go, But if you go in april it rains a lot.
Natural Rescources
Some of portugals natural rescources are Silver, Gold, Clay, Salt, Zinc, Tin and Copper. Thoes are few of their natural rescources but there are many more where that came from.

In Portugal they mostly speak Portugeese, But about 32% of people in portugal can understand and speak English. Some of their sayings are:
Portugeese: A pressa é inimiga da perfeição.English: Haste makes waste.
Portugees: Alegria de uns, tristeza de outros. English: One man’s happiness is another man’s sadness.
Land Features
In the northeast there are mountains, but there arent many other land features. the rest are mostly just rolling plains.
Transportation-
They get around basically just like us, By car, By train, By bus, and sadly enough, just like us, they drive drunk.

Mary Poppins
Speaking of being unrealistic, it can be realistic too. It’s realistic in some ways. Like how she’s their baby sitter, that’s realistic. The one thing that isn’t is that in her bag, she can fit a coat rack, a plant, a mirror, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she could fit a T.V. in there! She can also clean up things, by just snapping her fingers. The kids can too, but that’s another story.
I think this story is romance, because it is highly unrealistic, and everything that goes along with romance, goes along with this story. There is a minor conflict, and then it is realized, but then resolved. The end! Just like romance. The only other possible thing would be would probably be comedy, because its not realistic. Except nothing in comedy has nothing to do with Mary Poppins.
That also brings us to something that it actually could be comedy. It begins with normal everyday life, but then turns into something about a world we wish we all could live in! So actually it could be comedy, because then the conflict is fully realized. Then the resolution, and then it all returns to normal everyday life at the end of comedy. I think its romance because its like a dream world.
Bringing up the fact of a dream world, it’s a dream world because no one can go into pictures, or bring big things out of a bag that are bigger than the bag! So this is why it brings me to the conclusion of it being romance. It couldn’t be anything else. And it fits romances characteristics perfectly!

Haunting.
"GET OUT!" The echo was so loud that he collapsed. It was a soft girls voice, Around the age of 16, he assumed.
Even after the loud and terrifying scream, Joshua went deeper into the tunnel. The deeper he went into the tunnel, the more creeped out he became, and the more he wanted to turn back but couldn't. The closer he got the more he felt as If someone was watching him. Joshua felt as if he'd been walking for miles, even though he'd only been walking for 10 minuites. The air was getting real thick, It became harder for Joshua to breathe. He smelled something familiar. Then it hit him. When he was 13, he almost killed someone in science class with that kind of smell.
Everything that happened next was a blur. Joshua heard something similar to a jail cell slamming shut, then he heard a hissing noise and started to choke. He fell to the floor confused, but then remembered where he thought he was. Then, needles came straight out of nowhere, hitting Joshua. First came one, then two, then seven, then more. Every needle burned. As he picked one up he saw something on it. "Poison" he stated. He could barley catch his breath before the floor started rising up. He thought he was being risen up onto a platform, until he noticed the ceiling was sinking. Then, straps came up from the floor and held him down on his back.
Joshua was so scared now, he started to cry.
"IM ONLY SIXTEEN!" he yelled. "WHY ME, WHAT DID I EVER DO TO ANYONE TO DESERVE THIS!?" Joshua started to cry. "PLEASE, KILL ME OR LET ME GO NOW, DON’T MAKE ME SUFFER ANYMORE! I'LL DO ANYTHING.. ANYTHING ANYONE WANTS IF YOU JUST LET ME LIVE!" Water leaked from the walls. A strap came around and held his neck in place. Two spiked just like the ones on the ceiling came on both sides of his neck. They started to spin, and come closer.
"NO PLEASE!" he screamed. He was 10 feet away from drowning. The floor kept rising, the ceiling kept dropping, the water kept coming closer. All the thoughts went threw his head at once. He'd never get to see his family again, his mom, his dad, or his new born baby sister, but the worst of all was his girlfriend. He loved her so much. He couldn't live knowing he'd never see her again. Just then, two spikes went through his sides.
He tried to scream, but couldn’t. the water was up to his sides, but not yet close to drowning him. It was like god was keeping him alive just to make him feel it all, and suffer. Then, he reached the top of the wall. Needles started to pierce his chest, and stomach. He was still alive though, and he didn’t understand. "why.." he cried. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME, WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU"
"YOU TRIED TO KILLED ME!" screamed a voice from nowhere.
"what?" asked Joshua.
Joshua was so confused. He didn’t know what the girl meant by 'you killed me!'. He'd never killed anyone in his life, and he cant remember anyone close to him that died.
"You killed me..baby" He thought his heart stopped right then.
"E-Emily?!" He asked, shaken.
" Josh you tried to kill me. WHY.. I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! I LOVED YOU, BUT YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" She screamed.
"Emily I'm so sorry! I never meant to try to kill you!" Said Joshua.
"Yeah right. First you tried to suffocate me with the gas.. Then you took me into a dark room and stabbed me with a knife.. You knew I loved you, " Said Emily.
"I don’t know why I did that.. Your as pretty as ever even with the blood and scars on your face. I'm sorry…I…..Love….You……...."
Those were Joshua's last words. He slowly died after he said them. His body was found after two days. His parents knew this would happen. Just when they were about to forget that he died so suddenly, there was a note. "I loved him, but he lied, he didn’t love me. So now he's with god, and I will be soon." Everyone knew that it was Emily, his now girlfriend again in heaven, who killed Josh, but after Emily was such a sweet girl, no one could be sure. There were a few people who were certain that it was Emily, but everyone thought they were insane.
"That sweet girl killed him?" they'd all ask in confuison.
At Joshua's funeral, everyone knew Emily and Josh would be on the side, watching together, as his family cried, and his friends were in shock. People all around the world heard about it, and now it is a known lesson, 'If you don’t love someone, don’t say you do.' Now Emily and Josh get to spend eternity together in heaven, because after all of that they realized, they truly do love each other, but they never knew it.

Three Facts And A Fiction.
My friends abuse me
My parents want to move out of Pewaukee
I love to roller skate.
I love to roller skate. Whenever me and my friends hang out at my apartment we always go into my driveway and use them. I never go to skate land. I think it costs too much. That’s why my driveway and friends are just fine. I also like to play volleyball. Its really fun. All you do is hit the ball in the air and don’t let it touch the ground unless it’s the other teams ground. If you hit it out of bounds on the other side then your in trouble. Simple as that.

Patriotism
What is patriotism? Patriotism is love and respect for your country. In some counties if you don’t love and respect your country you could be jailed, and if you don’t know what jailed means, it means to be put in jail, and At worst you could kicked out of your country. Some people don’t respect their country but it’s important because if you didn’t then the world wouldn’t be such a nice place.
Even though the world wouldn’t be such a nice place, litter would probably make it worse. Some people don’t respect their country and just litter everywhere, that’s also against the law. Littering may not seem like a thing as big as that, but listen to spongebob, and don’t litter because that really is breaking the law. Breaking the law could result in very bad things. Well, some of the bad things could be, getting sent to jail, getting a ticket, or other things that could be way worse. Shooting people is kind of a disrespect to your country and kind of not. War isn’t a big disrespect in your country, depending on which one you live in, and considering war is something two countries started together.
Even though war is something two countries started together, War is not considered disrespecting your country, because two countries started it together because they didn’t like something about each other, or it was for territory, and I think the president thinks that’s fine. If this was disrespecting the country I don’t think the president would be allowing everyone, or anyone to do that, if it was disrespect, then I think he would of stopped it by now. Patriotism is still a really big thing in the world, well not really that big, like not as big as it probably was way back then when there was always wars and fights and gun shots like in the old west. It may not be that big, but it is still kind of big.
