The BFG | Book vs Film


Hey, everyone! My mom got me a copy of Roald Dahl's The BFG. And I've also watched the new movie based on it. Now I will share with you the similarities and the differences between them.

Of course, the main scenes and events are similar and, uh, I don't like using grown-up, ever-so-complicated words, because I'm NOT a grown-up so I'm not gonna use them. Okay, anyway, the first difference is how the bad giants ended up in the end of the story. In the book, the terribly ugly giants were placed in a terribly deep pit and were doomed to eat terribly disgusting snozzcumbers for the rest of their life. But in the movie, the terribly ugly giants were thrown into a terribly deserted island, and were doomed to eat terribly disgusting snozzcumber seeds for the rest of their life. I also noticed that in the book, there was no frobscottle at the Queen's, so the BFG whizzpopped, or farted on his own. But in the movie, he brought a bottle with him, and gave some to the others. So, everyone else whizzpopped too. Also how the end ended. In the book, Sophie teaches the BFG how to read, write, and speak properly. But in the movie, that didn't happen.

I hope you liked this! And HAPPY READING!

How to Get Rid of Lice



Hey, everyone! Sorry it's been quite a while, but I was a bit busy doing tests and everything. So, I don't know about you, but I think that every Filipino kid has experienced having lice in their hair. I had mine last year. And let me tell you, it was horrible. My scalp was itchy, and it was annoying that my hair looked like a Christmas tree with white lice eggs hanging from every single strand of hair. And I kept feeling the lice walking around.

So it happened like this: I was ice skating for my first time, but unfortunately, the helmet I rented had nits on it, which, of course, went to my hair. My mom tried many ways to get rid of them, like putting vinegar on my hair (very uncomfortable), and picking it, and then getting this nit remover comb. The problem is, none of them worked for the eggs that haven't hatched, and I kept breaking the comb's teeth. Then, my mom bought a 2 new nit remover combs from a neighbor who was fortunately, selling them for 100 pesos each.




We tried it on me, and it really works! It even takes out the eggs, and the teeth are made of metal, so they don't break! And they even take out dust in my hair. It took out my lice in just a matter of days. And the eggs, hatched or not. So now, instead of looking like a Christmas tree, with white lice eggs for ornaments, you can hardly see any eggs at all.



The Captain Underpants Series




Hey everybody! Miss Artsy here. So, as you all know, I love books. And most kids like myself, like books with funny things. And most kids like books with superheroes as well. Well, there's a book series in my library that has both of those things: Captain Underpants!


The Captain Underpants series is about two boys named George and Harold, who love to pull pranks and make comic books. They even started Tree House Comix.inc, a publishing empire. Their latest is The Adventures of Captain Underpants. Their principal, Mr. Krupp, is the meanest principal in history of George and Harold's school. One day, George got a hypnotism ring and hypnotized Mr. Krupp. They turned him into Captain Underpants. But it didn't turn out the way they wanted to.  Mr. Krupp, or should I say, Captain Underpants, got the boys into all sorts of trouble where they had to save him, as well as the entire world! And the only way George and Harold could de-hypnotize him was to pour water on his head. Now for some strange reason, whenever Mr. Krupp hears the sound of fingers snapping... He turns back into You-Know-Who!

So, yeah. That's the story of Captain Underpants. I hope you liked this article, and I'll see you soon! Tra-La-Laaa!
