Dogs Breeds by Jessica Gonzales

There are many dog breeds like Labrador, Golden, or Chihuahuas. But here are my top three.

Pomeranians 

Pomeranians are very cute and fluffy dogs. Pomeranians were not always so lillte. The pomeranians were first seen in 1898,but they were first recognized in 1900. In 1912 three pomeranians survived the sinking of RMS Titanic.

Pugs❤  

Did you know that a group of pugs is called a Grumble. Pugs are medium sized dogs and are very happy- go- lucky. Pug’s noes make it hard for them to swim. Pugs got their name from Marmosets, a type of monkey. Also most pug’s tails have one curl but it is proper for them to have two.

English Bulldogs 

English Bulldogs are very wrinkly and cute. They are also very independent so they will solve their own problems without looking for their owners help. Bulldogs head and tiny backsides make it hard for they to swim. Did you know that they also break records. One English Bulldog broke the record for “ Longest Human Tunnel Traveled by a Skateboarding dog.”

Sharks may be dangerous and many people think they are horrible animals because they can kill people. Actually, there are only 16 shark attacks each year and these attacks only result in one death every two years. To compare, 200 people die from deer incidents every year, that is way less than shark attack fatalities. Some sharks are friendly and even if they are not, they are just protecting their homes.

Sharks balance out the ecosystem, and can smell blood from miles away. Great White Sharks are very large and are vulnerable to extinction, you should never get near one because these sharks are dangerous, but they mainly go in deeper parts of the ocean and live in Northeast and California, South Africa, Japan, Oceania, Chile, and the Mediterranean.

Tiger sharks are fine to swim with, they are friendly. Sharks eat mostly and mainly just fish. Except for Whale Sharks which only feed on tiny little micro-organisms. They are the largest shark species in the world. Bull sharks can go into rivers and they live in shallow waters in Africa. The MegaMouth Shark is a rare shark and it has only been seen with fewer than 100 specimens being observed or caught.

There are so many other shark species but these are some I found that are interesting and cool. Maybe we should not hate sharks as they are not here to harm us. They just look like that but they will usually not attack humans, and they are vulnerable to extinction. We should be cautious.

Explaining: Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion

by Deney Tang 

Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion (formerly known as Spooky’s House of Jumpscares) is a horror game that involves going through many doors that lead to many randomly generated rooms, each one getting progressively harder. But before we talk more about that, we have to talk about Spooky and her backstory. Spooky is the antagonist of the story that meets you at the start of the game. Spooky appears to be a blue ghost that also appears in certain rooms in the game. Spooky’s backstory is largely unknown but some people have been able to piece together some evidence in order to create a theory of it.

It was Halloween and Spooky wanted to scare people. She had put on a costume that she thought was scary and wanted to do the scaring. At the end of the night, she had failed to scare anyone. In a desperate attempt to scare someone she got fireworks and fake blood, the person she decided to scare was an old man with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD is a mental disorder caused by experience very traumatic events that can leave a lasting impression in your mind.

It can affect someone if they experience something that reminds them of the traumatic event in the past, and can stress them out and make them uncomfortable. How Spooky used the fireworks and fake blood to scare the old man is unknown, but it is known that his PTSD was severe and he shot Spooky in reaction to the event. Spooky was rushed to the hospital in an attempt to save her life. At the hospital Spooky soon died, and in grief her dad did some experiments and found a device that keeps Spooky’s soul on Earth as a ghost. Wanting to scare more people, she made a labyrinth with Specimens.

Gameplay The goal of the game is to traverse through 1000 rooms. The rooms have different specimens. Specimens are things and creatures designed to scare or kill people.

The first specimen is a cardboard cutout. The cutout can range different pictures from adorable skeletons to cute vegetables. However the rest of the Specimens are deadly creatures that kill people in a variety of ways.

The second specimen is the next monster you meet at room 60. As you enter the room, a green puddle appears next to a table with a note on it. The note refers to what it felt like to become a monster. After you finish reading the note “Specimen 2” appears out of the ground from the puddle and tries to attack you. Specimen 2 appears to be a malnourished, green creature with its torso extending downwards to its nonexistent legs, ending in a rounded shape. It also has no eyes but instead, huge, sharp teeth.

Specimen 3 is a long centipede like spider that try to kill you by biting you with its venomous pincers. You

locate Specimen 3 by listening to how loud its clicking noise is. Specimen 3 is known for digging and hiding in walls in ceilings in order to trap and kill other people.

Specimen 4 is a pale floating ghost like woman with sunken black eyes and bloody claws for hands. Its way of killing, is literally eating people. It can also go through walls and hover over abyss areas.

Specimen 5 is a pale figure that appears to be made of wood, it has no face or clothes. Specimen has stumps as feet and hands and wields a dark red and brown sword. It is one of the slowest Specimens in the game so running from it is generally easy. Specimen 5 has an ability to create visual hallucinations that can disorient the player and make it hard to find a way out.

Specimen 6 is a giant smiling puppet with completely white eyes, Specimen 6 is not like other Specimens, since it can’t move whenever you have direct eye contact with it. If the player looks away it will quickly go behind the player and try to attack them. Specimen 6’s way of killing people is by puncturing their bodies until they die. Try this game! It’s super original and worth checking out.
