**Chapter 1:** Anand's Dad left for Dubai. He went there because he was jobless for months. He was offered a job of a construction worker which is good pay. He sent envelopes of money to Anand's family so they can remain wealthy and live their life. After a few months His father stopped sending checks. Nobody knew the reason. Now Anand is in a poor enviroment and is struggleing to live. Along with his family. His sister is sort of in a coma as well.

Since Anand's family doesn't have money, Anand had to stay up and work late hours. He was always worried if the markets were closed when he had to buy food for his family. When he finds one market that is open, he buys an expensive mango. The town is covered in fog, streets are empty and Anand is willing to run home because he is scared. On his way he drops his mango, but continues to run because he thought someone was following him. Then they start dinner and listen to an old man's story.
 * Chapter 2:**

While making food for his family, he listens to the grandpas stories, which was about the conch shell. Every time the old person told the story very specifically, Anand grew more and more interest about the journey of the story, because he always believed in magic. When the old person ended the story, he asks Anand to take a journey to protect the conch and Anand becomes fascinated. However, his mother didn't like the idea of the journey. Since it seemed that Anand really wanted to go, the old person asked his mother.
 * Chapter 3:**

After finishing dinner the old man brings up a mango. Anand is astonished because he ditched that thing. He figured he mine as well eat some now that he has it once again. He asked the old man if he could see the conch, if it is real. The old man shows the conch to him and what he saw was a magical soft white glowing shell. Tinyer than his thumb. It was amazing he thought, but once it was covered he was mad. The old man then tried to heal his sister and the mom came in and said SHOO.
 * Chapter 4:**

When Anand fell asleep he had a nightmare. He knew he had to go on this journey. When he woke up his sister was joyfull and healed. The old man was a healer as he said. His mom let him go on the journey.
 * Chapter 5:**

In chapter 6, the three people, Anand, Girl, and Surabhanu begins their journey to protect the conch. Anand is extremely excited to experience this kind of journey. He sees the girl who helped him to find the train before. He puts the girl too to the journey. Then, the old man turns into Surabhanu, and begins to attack and torture them. However, because the candy boy saw them getting tortured, he helped them to survive. After getting better, they try to find the old man, Surabhanu.
 * Chapter 6:**

In chapter 7, there are 3 main characters, who are Nisha, Anand, and Abhaydatta. Nisha is the girl who was getting tortured with Anand by Surabhanu. Abhaydatta explains that Nisha is an extremely dangerous name, although Nisha likes her name. Their first destination is Pathankot, which was a long route and safe. When they decided the place where they are going to sleep, Anand feels if he is watched. He immediately wakes up Abhaydatta.
 * Chapter 7:**

During their journey, they stop at Koila Ganzi to rest there. When they first went to the inn, the owner rejected them because he didn't believe them. However, by Abhaydatta, they finally could have slept in there. But, while they were resting, Anand and Abhaydatta is still worried about the ambush of Surabhanu. Abhaydatta knew that Surabhanu was going to attack them and so he gave the conch to Anand saying that they should go to Silver Valley by themselves when they are attacked.
 * Chapter 8:**

As Nisha woke up Anand, he tried to remember the dream that he had. However, he only remembered the general descriptions not the specific, which made him feel very frustrated. One of the most important dream is the one-eyed dear. One day, it saw a tiger trying to kill him/her and so ran from the tiger. However, later, the dear got killed by hunters because the only eye was looking at the tiger, not the people.
 * Chapter 9:**

Later on, Abhaydatta brought in some plants into the fire to protect and guard themselves from Surabhanu. They took turns guarding, but Anand suggested that he could come from the cave. While washing their faces to get out of "sleepiness", Abhaydatta knew that Surabhanu was approaching. Suddenly, the light went off. Anand then realised that Abhaydatta is gone! **Chapter 11:** Anand thought that Abhaydatta had died because of him, so he was mad. Nisha wanted to know and hear about the Conch so he told her. They reached a lake, but something grabbed her in the leg. When Anand went in, a huge wave hit him, but he was alive. It was because of the conch.
 * Chapter 10:**

Anand and Nisha found a place to stay, and Nisha saw a animal looking at them, so she called him rajah. The animal looked quite strange, though. Then, apes came to attack them, and they brought Anand and Nisha to their cave. The king of the apes looked at Anand and asked for a treasure. When Rajah leaded Anand and Nisha to the safe way the apes couldn't follow.
 * Chapter 12:**

Anand and Nisha were looking for food and Rajah found nuts to eat. While they were going there were two paths, and they didn't know where to go. Anand and Nisha said that they should take the wider path, but Rajah said that they should take the right path. There was a rock with a hand print on it. Nisha’s hand fit, but Anand's didn’t'. When Nisha took off her hand, the path disappeared.
 * Chapter 13:**

Anand wrapped his coat around Nisha. Suddenly He heard a evil noise so he turned around and he looked at Nisha. She had an evil look in her face; a familiar look. Somehow Surabhanu went into Nisha's mind and body, and was controlling her. Then he went into a body of a snake. They attacked each other. Surabhanu as the snake, bit Rajah, and made Nisha mad. Then Anand fell and dropped the conch.
 * Chapter 14:**

When the spell wore off, they talked to each other. Anand asked Nisha if she were to follow the journey, but her leg hurt. Anand had to continue the journey alone. He said when he arrived to the destination, "Open the pass, Healers, I have brought you for which you have been waiting." But no one answered. Then they asked which of these is the most important Honesty, Loyalty, or compassion? He had to answer until daybreak.
 * Chapter 15:**

He was thinking of a way to answered the question. He thought Nisha would choose loyalty, and he thought Abhaydatta would choose compassion, but he thought of all the virtues. The conch would choose honesty. They were all a part of the question so he chose all three. The healers surprisingly said that he was correct. The healers let Anand bring Nisha into the Calley.
 * Chapter 16:**

For three whole days, Anand was in the valley, but he felt like he was in heaven. He ate ripe, juicy fruits, and he was very comfortable. So he asked Govinda (an apprentice healer) if he could talk to them. He didn't have to do any work. Govinda didn't give Anand much information, but he said that Abhaydatta wasn't responding to anything, nor talking. Just then, he started wondering about Abhaydatta (Rajah) and Nisha. Nisha and Abhaydatta weren't allowed to be visited.
 * Chapter 17:**

The main characters are: Nisha, Abhaydatta, and Anand. Nisha was just an ordinary girl, living as a sweeper girl. There are 3 main characters in this chapter. But, when she went on the journey with Anand, her life changed. But, at the end, she and Anand turned out to be great friends, although sometimes they would get jealous of each other. She felt loved by Abhaydatta, as a granddaughter would. She was always being nosy, and sensitive. Abhaydatta is a compassionate person.
 * Chapter 18:**

Because Anand chose to stay with the healers, he had one last chance to see his family.When he went back to the healers, there was a ceremony. When he saw his family, they seemed happy, since Anand's dad finally came back home! In ceremony, everyone found out that the conch had talked for the first time. Everybody was impressed and surprised. Because the conch and Anand communicated with eachother, he was announced as the new keeper of the conch.

**Biography about Langston Hughes** April 28th, 2009 Langston Hughes was African American. Some of His Intentions were being a Poet, a columnist, dramatist, essayist, lyricist, novelist, social activist, and finally a writer. What was lucky for him was that he succeeded at all of these jobs. He was a very successful man. He is very well known for his writing of jazz poetry. He was born February 1, 1902 ( 1902-02-01 ) and sadly died, May 22, 1967 (aged 65) New york, New york. Sadly for him, he did not live to be very old. From his succeeded talent I would say if he had lived to be older, then he would've been even more successful. Just maybe 10-15 more years could mean a lot for him.

Sad

Being sad can make you mad It can be very very bad

If you're not careful, It can make you dead Like when you tie a rope around your head

Earth Day poem: april 24th

There once was a man named Gaylord He thought he was very very bored.

He was just a simple man That could do of what he can

He looked at the wonders of our world Which is looking like it is going to twirl

He had an idea of what it was great That he knew we should do before its to late

We should help our world, plant by plant And if you say, "we just can't"

I will come over there and get a mighty bear

To rip off your face

Earth day report: April 23, 2009

Earth day started on April 22, 1970 and has been a very important day every since. It's a day to reflect on our planet, to realize we all live in a wondrous community, It's a day to help our environment to do what we can to keep it healthy. This would be a day to, I don't know, plant some trees, plants, or other things. It would be a day to definitely remember to recycle and not waste things. Earth day is here so we can keep our planet safe. It is a day, where we all can be safe by cleaning up here and there to make the world a better place. We have to clean up from the pollutants spreading rapidly around the world. Earth day would be specific to doing that.
