Hergï¿1/2 And The Adventures Of Tintin
NameTuesday, May 23Hergï¿1/2 and The Adventures of TintinBy Vickie ChaoHave you ever read a comic seriescalled The Adventures of Tintin? Theentire set has 24 stories. Eachfeatures a daring trip of a youngreporter named Tintin. When Tintinwas on the road, his best friend, afoxhound named Snowy, was alwaysby his side. Sometimes it was just thetwo of them trotting the globe.Sometimes they went with theirfriends, Captain Haddock, ProfessorCalculus, or the clumsy twindetectives, Thomson and Thompson.Tintin, Snowy, and their sidekicks are fictional. But thanks totheir creator, Hergï¿1/2, they look quite real.Born in May 1907, Hergï¿1/2 was a famous comic writer andartist from Belgium. From very early on, he knew that he liked todraw pictures. When he was 17 years old, he created a pen name forhimself. Since then, he always signed his work not with his realname (Gerges Remi), but with this new identity - Hergï¿1/2.By far, Hergï¿1/2 was best known for his The Adventures ofTintin. But aside from that, he also produced The Adventures of Jo,Zette, and Jocko as well as Quick & Flupke.In the stories of The Adventures of Jo, Zette, and Jocko,Hergï¿1/2 created a family of four. Jo and Zette were brother andsister. The two, joined by their pet monkey Jocko, constantly gotthemselves into some sort of trouble. For example, they got lost atsea once. And they nearly died at the North Pole. But luckily, nomatter what happened, they could always find a way out with theirparents' help. Hergï¿1/2 made The Adventures of Jo, Zette, and Jockoespecially for a weekly French newspaper. But after completingonly five episodes, he gave up. Because Jo and Zette were justchildren, they could not travel around the world by themselves on awhim. To balance out the acts, Hergï¿1/2 had to make eachadventure a family trip. The restrictions were simply too much forhim to work with. He personally favored Tintin since the youngreporter was able to embark on any journey at a minute's notice.In Quick & Flupke, Hergï¿1/2 invented two naughty boys wholiked to cause trouble in the streets of Brussels. Their unrulybehavior meant headaches for both their parents and the police. Thisfun series ran for ten years from 1930 to 1940. Hergï¿1/2 eventuallycancelled it because he wanted to focus more of his time on makingThe Adventures of Tintin.In the early days, The Adventures of Tintin carried certainnegative messages. Though those views reflected what Europeansociety believed at the time, they later proved to be wrong. Forexample, in the second Tintin adventure, Tintin in the Congo,Hergï¿1/2 had Tintin giving a geography lesson at a local school. Atthe time, the Congo was not an independent country. It wasoccupied by Belgium. In the original version, Tintin told the classexcitedly, "My friends, today I am going to talk to you about yourcountry: Belgium!" In the revised edition, Hergï¿1/2 realized thathis viewpoints were biased. So he changed it and had Tintin givingan arithmetic lesson instead.As Hergï¿1/2 grew increasingly sensitive, he tried to avoid thesame mistakes that he had made in his earlier works. When he beganpreparing for Tintin's adventure to China, he befriended a Chineseart student named Chang Chong-Jen. Chang Chong-Jen introducedHergï¿1/2 to Chinese history and culture. To express his thanks,Hergï¿1/2 invented a Chinese orphan boy in The Blue Lotus based onthis real-life friend of his. He called that orphan boy ChangChong-Chen. This minor character would become a very goodfriend of Tintin. He was also the only one who managed to make theyoung reporter cry twice! Hergï¿1/2 made Chang Chong-Chenappear in two of Tintin's adventures. The first was The Blue Lotusand the second was Tintin in Tibet. Interestingly, in that secondadventure, Hergï¿1/2 set the stage by making Chang Chong-Chen avictim of a plane crash. Convinced that his friend was still alive,Tintin packed his bags and went to Tibet. He eventually foundChang Chong-Chen. In truth, Hergï¿1/2 created that story becausehe missed Chang Chong-Jen who had returned to China years ago.The distance, plus wars in that region, made contact impossible. Forforty years, Hergï¿1/2 was unable to locate Chang Chong-Jen. Itwas during that period that he made Tintin in Tibet. Amazingly, in1981, the two friends were finally able to meet again. Two yearslater, on March 3, 1983, Hergï¿1/2 died. He never finished Tintin's
NameTuesday, May 23twenty-fourth adventure, Tintin and Alph-Art.The Adventures of Tintin brought Hergï¿1/2 fame and fortune.Right from the time that he began the series in 1929, he had allowedhis creativity to run loose. Through his works, Tintin, Snowy, andthe others traveled everywhere. They went to Russia. They walkedacross the Sahara Desert. They dropped by Peru. They climbed theHimalayas. And they even flew to the moon. (Hergï¿1/2, on thecontrary, had never visited any of those places.) In the stories, Tintinwas always very resourceful. He knew how to drive a car. He knewhow to operate a boat. He knew how to fly a plane. He knew how torun a submarine. And when needed, he could pilot a rocket, too!Today, The Adventures of Tintin is available in more than 70languages. Thanks to Hergï¿1/2 and a team of artists who workedclosely with him, the entire series was adapted into color andanimated cartoons.Even though Hergï¿1/2 passed away a long time ago, hisbestsellers continue to attract fans from all corners of the world. Nowthere's even a Hollywood movie and video games about Tintin'sadventures. Back in his home country, the Belgian Center for ComicStrip Art in Brussels has an excellent collection of all things relatedto Hergï¿1/2 and The Adventures of Tintin.

NameTuesday, May 23The Method's the Key!By Trista L. PollardSome of the best inventions happen by accident, like themicrowave oven. However, most inventions happen after many yearsof research. Scientists test and retest ideas hoping to solve questionsor puzzles. Good scientists use a process called the scientificmethod.The scientific method is a series of problem-solving steps thathelp scientists answer scientific questions. You also use thescientific method when you work on experiments in your classroom.These questions usually are asked after scientists have madeobservations. An observation happens when you use your senses tonotice your environment. For example, as you leave for school, younotice that your skin feels sticky. The air feels damp. Your mildlycurly hair became very curly outside. These are observations.After observing your high hair, you ask yourself, "Why does myhair become very curly when I step outside?" This is your scientificquestion. You start to guess or think about possible reasons for yourfrizzy hair. The time has come for you to make a good guess or ahypothesis based on your observations. You guess that your hairbecomes very curly because of the humidity in the air. To proveyour hypothesis, you need to develop a procedure or plan to testyour prediction.Your plan is very simple. Since you heard on the news that thehumidity would be high tomorrow, you decide to (1) do your hairagain and (2) step outside the door and see what happens. These twosteps will allow you to see if humidity causes mildly curly hair tobecome curlier. When you wake up in the morning, you go throughyour usual hair routine. When you step outside, you are notdisappointed because your hair becomes even curlier today since thehumidity is even higher. Now you are ready to record your results.Scientists record their results either with pictures or with words.They use charts, graphs, diagrams, and summaries to communicatetheir results. In this case, you may wish to mentally note whathappens to your hair on humid days. You might also choose to sharethe results or data with your friends at the lunch table in school.You could also write a short paragraph about your experiment andgive it to your teacher. Make sure you include a conclusion. Thisconclusion or statement tells the results of your experiment. Yourconclusion is: "When people with curly hair walk outside on humiddays, their hair may become curlier depending on the amount ofhumidity."You are probably feeling good about your results and think thatyour scientific study is over. However, good scientists also ask morequestions, record more observations, and offer more suggestionsabout the subject they are studying. You may ask, "Can I preventmy hair from becoming curlier or frizzy on humid days?" Afterresearching your new question, you could offer suggestions to otherpeople with your dilemma. Keep in mind, that whatever scientistsinvestigate, they know that the scientific method is the key tounlocking scientific secrets.The Method's the Key!Questions1. A hypothesis is .A. a prediction or guess that is not based on observationsB. a prediction or guess based on observationsC. a result of an experimentD. none of the above2. The scientific method is one step scientists use to solvescientific problems.A. trueB. false3. What is an observation?
NameTuesday, May 234. Which statement is NOT a prediction?A. I think the balloon will pop when the chemicals react.B. I think the wood will float when I put it into the water.C. I think the salt will dissolve when I add water to the cup.D. I think I will stay home tonight.5. What is a conclusion?6. Scientists record their results either with pictures or withwords.A. falseB. true

NameThursday, May 25The Mystery of the Newspaper BanditBy Colleen Messina"Oh, no. OK, I will re-deliver thepaper," Brian said with despair.The newspaper at 112 Rose Rowhad disappeared.again.Ten-year-old Brian did notunderstand why one newspaper onhis route kept disappearing. Eachmorning he woke up at the crackof dawn. He dragged himself outof his warm cocoon of blanketsand got dressed. He then foldedthe newspapers that had beendropped off in his driveway and stuffed them into his satchel.Off he went into the slowly-brightening morning. Brian thought ofhimself as the superhero of early morning information. He pedaled hisbike through the sleeping neighborhoods and expertly shot his papersonto the dark porches and walkways. He had become such a good shotthat his customers called him Bull's-eye Brian and gave him fantasticChristmas tips.Brian's stellar service record had just one flaw. The house at the endof the street seemed to eat up newspapers. Every day for the pastweek, his customer there called him to tell him that the paper had notbeen delivered. Brian did not understand it because every day for thepast week he had delivered the paper to that house. What was goingon?The tiny two story house was not unusual. It had a tidy lawn andincredible flower gardens. It was next to an open field, and sometimesBrian saw the dark silhouettes of deer munching on their breakfast inthe early hours. A tiny stream meandered through the far side of thefield, and fussy pheasants squawked from time to time. It was apeaceful spot in the midst of town, so why was the paper disappearingeach day?When Brian had been alerted each day of the missing paper, hisgroggy, uncaffeinated, and cranky father drove him to the newspaperoffice to get an extra paper. Then they drove by 112 Rose Row tore-deliver it. Brian's dad was a tad bit tired of his extra involvement inBrian's job."Brian, we need to solve this newspaper mystery. When you signedup to do this route, it was with the condition that you takeresponsibility for it, rain or shine. I know you have done a great job,and your customers are happy with you. But I am getting a little tiredof helping you re-deliver a missing paper each morning," said Brian'sdad with a yawn."I know, Dad," said Brian. "I can't figure this out. I do deliver thepaper every day, but then they call me and say that they didn't get it. Idon't get it!""Well, what can we do about this problem?" asked Brian's dad."I don't know, but I am going to figure something out," said Brian.There had to be some logical explanation for what was happening.Brian was concerned that his excellent reputation would be blackenedby these mishaps. Only good paper boys got good tips at Christmas.Brian was counting on some excellent tips this year, especially fromhis loyal customers on Rose Row.The next morning, Brian got more bad news. The people at 112 RoseRow did not get their paper again. Then the head of the circulationdepartment at the news
