Hello, it is Sir Andrew

Recently I’ve found out that the Scarlet Pimpernel my friend and co-worker is in danger of falling in a trap set by a cunning French spy. This I found out because his wife came to me and had told me all this information including the information of the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel. (Which I already knew). Anyway, we chased after him and the French spy known as Chauvelin before we where stopped because of a violent storm. We were lucky that Chauvelin was stopped too or we would be in a big hole. So, after the storm, we set sail to beat the French men to Sir Percy.
Once we had reached Calais we stayed in the Chat Gris. The man there told us that a tall Englishman had stayed the night there and was coming back for dinner that night. He had also said that the tall Englishman went to Pere Blanchard’s Hut with Armand St. Just and the Compt. de Tourney. We decided to split up; I would stay at the Chat Gris to ensure that if Marguerite and the Frenchmen did not find him I would at suppertime. While she would go out on the front lines and warn him even earlier than me. If she found him before the Frenchmen did.

My thoughts on chapters 26-27

My master attacked Chauvelin with the pepper in the face trick. It made Chauvelin choke, fall to the ground, and become blinded for a while. The Scarlet Pimpernel wife saw the whole thing. Chauveling was hurting so bad and was mad, that demmed Chauvelin is such a turd. Marguerite told me that he told everyone to look for a tall man, or a man trying to hid his size by crouching. They found a Jew that was complaining that the tall man chose another form of transportation. after some talking (and money use from Chauveling) they came up with deal for my master, or the Jew, to drive where the tall man went. Chauvelin offered money for good service to find the tall man. And if the Jew did a horrible job, and took the long route. He would keep to his part of the deal and have him beaten with in an inch of his life.

So Marguerite followed the cart for a time. During a stop, Chauvelin told the same thing to his guards that he told the Few. He realized after the attack on himself. that his guards would not do as good of a job. He would od a better job than his guards; I have to admit that Chauvelin is smart! Demmed, evil punk, but still smart like that time he tricked Jellyband. Anyway, Marguerite follo0wed the cart for quite a long while. I will not tell what happened when she ran into all of the soldiers at the end of the chapter; I will not unveil too much.

The Dark Knight


     Today I would like to talk about the Dark Knight. It is one of my favorite movies because I can relate to a lot of it in real life. Batman reminds me of Sir Percy because they are both rich men who everybody likes, and they are secretly superheroes. There are a couple things different about Sir Percy and Batman, though; Batman fights his way to victory, but Sir Percy takes the peaceful way, and nobody gets hurt. Another difference is that Sir Percy acts like he is dumb, but Batman in real life acts really smart, as he owns a big business. I am a lot like Robin, always being second in charge but still being really strong and smart. Robin was not in the Dark Knight, but he was in many other Batman movies which reminds me of how I am not in every single adventure with Sir Percy, but I am in around half of them.

     There are a lot of things that I thought were that he did in that movie. He told the girl he loves that he was the Dark Knight which ended up in a bad way for him. Sir Percy never told Marguerite he was the Scarlet Pimpernel; he waited for her to figure it out. Another thing he did that I did not like was the girl he loved and her boyfriend were about to die, and he had to choose which one to save, so he chose him and asked the police to save her. In the end, that made her die. If it was me in a situation like that, I would have rushed to save Suzanne. If it was Sir Percy, he would have gone and saved Marguerite. In this move, I am completely sickened by Joker. He is like Chauvelin. They are both plotting against the good guy, they both love death, and they both are completely insane. As I watched Joker talk about having a bad childhood, I had just noticed that Chauvelin was probably overly beaten and ended up going insane just like Joker. One difference between them is that Joker acts insane and also shows it, but Chauvelin is insane but never shows it. Another one is Chauvelin is so serious but Joker he is very lighthearted. The Dark Knight goes throught a lot but not as much as Sir Percy does.

My thoughts on the movie "National Treasures".












National Treasures is an awesome movie. The main character (Ben Gates) is a treasure hunter that was following a clue about a grand treasure. The first clue his grandfather gave to him is at the beginning of the movie when he was a kid. His dad said that there's just clues after clues after clues, but Ben wanted to find the treasure. The treasure was fought over by warriors and armies for centuries, each time the treasure gets grander and grander every time it changed hands. Before the American Revolution, the treasure was hidden by the founding fathers. It was hidden to stop the British from finding it, but his father said that it was a myth to keep the British searching for the treasure. On this American Revolution, it should have been ruled by the British, too bad the stupid French had to help out. England could of used that land but anyway, it happened.


















So Ben Gates, played by Nicolas Cage is searching for the grand treasure. The next clue is on a boat, him and his friends were looking for the next clue. When they found a pipe with the clue around it, Ian Howe (one of Bens' friends) and his gang turned on Ben and Riley Poole. The next clue had a cipher on it that translated to the back of the Declaration of Independence, and Ian wanted to steal it. Then they had a fight leading to the end of they're "group colaboration". Back in France, the Aristocrats tried to overpower the people of France and when the people got tired of it, they revolted.
















Ben Gates decided to steal the Declaration (after they tried to convice the F.B.I., the Department of Homeland Security, and the museum person that specializes in public concerns) instead of Ian stealing it and destroying it. His friend Riley said that it was impossible and that it was crazy until they went to the Library of Congress, when they saw an opening in the security. Both Ben and Ian were trying to steal the Declaration on the same evening during an anniversary party in the National Archives. After Ben stole the Declaration, Abigail Chase confronted him outside the building. Ian saw her with what he thought was the original Declaration and kidnapped her in his van. Ben and Riley went after them and rescued her. Abigail started helping Ben and Riley after they told her what they were doing and of the clue that may be on the back of the Declaration. Stealing the Declaration was like the Scarlet Pimpernel and his men sneaking into France and rescuing the aristocrats.
















The three of them found the next clue on the back of the Declaration and of course there were more clues to follow. The clues led them to the Silence Dogood letters written by Benjamin Franklin. These clues then led to Indepencdence Hall in Philadelphia to find glasses to be able to read more of the map that was on the back of the Declaration. While they were in Philadelphia, Ian and his group found them and tried to steal the Declaration along with the glasses. They managed to get away from them for a while until the FBI came and arrested Ben. As Abigail and Riley were running fron Ian's men, she almost got hit by a truck, dropped the Declaration, and Ian picked it up. Chauvelin and Ian are alike because they are after clues to find what they want. Chauvelin is after the Scarlet Pimpernel while Ian is after the grand treasure. They are the same in that they will kill for what they want, but at least Chauvelin is working for the French government while Ian is working for himself.
















Abigail made a deal with Ian and his guys to help Ben escape from the FBI by promising the treasure. When they rescued Ben, they all met at the church where the clue had led them next. In the meantime, Ian kidnapped Ben's dad and now all of them were involved in searching for the treasure. The next clue led them under the church and graveyard where Ben and his group would trick Ian into thinking there is a next clue that led them to Boston. Ian and his men left Ben's group down in the cave so they could get to the treasure first and no where for Ben's group to escape. However, the treasure was soon found under the church through some more walls. Chauvelin made a deal with Margauritte to not kill her brother in exchange for information about the Scarlet Pimpernel.
















Ben and his group found the treasure and called the FBI. They gave different items of the grand treasure to different places throughout the world and they told the FBI where Ian was. Ian and his men were then arrested trying to break into a building in Boston. The Scarlet Pimpernel escaped Chauvelin for the last time in France and no one ever saw Chauvelin in England again.

My Thoughts On The Scarlet Pimpernel

     Today I would like to talk about the Scarlet Pimpernel. I am so glad the Scarlet Pimpernel is Sir Percy, or I might not be in the League of The Scarlet Pimpernel. I was at a ball one day when I met Sir Percy and Lord Tony. Marguerite was far away, and we talked for a good hour and a half. As soon as I got home, I noticed there was a letter in my pocket with a red flower on it (which I later figured out was the Scarlet Pimpernel.) I read it and it said:

      If you want to save the French Nobles, meet me at the back of the Fisherman's Rest at 2:00 a.m. next morning.

Signed
The Scarlet Pimpenel

     So I came (I brought a sword just in case) cautiously where I saw Lord Tony and Sir Percy. Sir Percy told Lord Tony and me that he is the Scarlet Pimpernel. Then he told Lord Tony to meet Sir Percy and me at the same spot at 10:00 September 30th. After that, he told me to meet him there at the same time and same place on the 26th, and said we will start the trip to save my first nobles. That was a good 10 trips ago.

     Sir Percy really is a smart man; he might even be the smartest man in the world. The one thing I admire the most about Sir Percy is the fact that he has not completely gone insane. You might, "Why would he go insane when he has all that money?" Well, here is why: he is a really smart man who has to act like he is dumb all his life. He has the stress of someone figuring out he is the Scarlet Pimpernel. He has marriage problems, and there is a chance that he will not save the French Nobles. one thing I do not understand whe he does though is the fact that he goes around the street yelling, "Lud save the king" or "Lud save the queen". When he does it, I always think we will get caught which seems to have never happened. Sir Percy has a lot of money and connections, so he bribes and blackmails (he never does what he says he is going to do when he blackmails) people a lot to get the nobles saved. I still wish I was the Scarlet Pimpernel, though, then there would be a higher chance that Suzanne would fall in love with me.

English Society!

My opinions on English society are? The ball's are very fancy and there are a whole lot of rich people. The ball's are packed with people dancing, chatting, and eating. The opera's are very fun. England men talk about business and sports while they're talking. But the English women talk about fashion and they're husbands. England's people are free.

The building's in England are very nice. The houses must rock to live in because a lot of them are huge. And some of the wife's in England who live there almost brag about were they live. England is very caught up in the years with the new stuff coming out. England has a major history and they have a lot of cool places to go. In England you can eat at boring, fun, or fancy restraints. My opinions on English society sound like a fun place to be.

"Worlds Dumbest Criminals" is the funniest show ever, because the stupid criminals do very stupid things, and there are commentators on this show that make the best coments. It doesn't show that they get a trial but I will try to think positive. This is stuff that the Scarlet Pimpernel won't do. There are thousands of these law enforcers, how do people that own this nation keep control over all these people. It seems that the people that comment on how dumb these people are, have all been caught by these law inforcers in the past. It seems that the peoople aren't contributing to the leader as much as they should.

I don't like how the United States does its thing. It doesn;t seem like there is just one leader. watching this, it looks like everyone is going to a cell and then the guillotine. This is how it started in France, first the cell and then the guillotine. I peronally think that there are too many people dying at the guillotine. The people at worst should just go to be held prisoner. I haven't seen any guillotines, so at first I thought that they didn't kill people. I quickly changed my decision when I saw people that should have died by the Law inforcers. The law enforcers have guns on them and shot someone. He took lots of hits before falling. The bullets looked different though, it looks like they were made out of rubber. But that would be silly to shoot someone if the people were sent to the guillotine.

After I stoped watching I think of all the people that really get hurt from the criminals.I still think that death at the guillotine is too much of a punishment for hurting or robbbing. Some of the people don't deserve to get punished at all, well except for a hour of public service. Heckm back in the French revolution; it would just be different. The sending to the guillotine stuff is in the nature of the new French government. The Scarlet Pimpernell will never do something this stupid or get himself caught as aesy as these people and definitly not as dumb.

These People need a new show "World's Smartest Criminals" hosting us, the band of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
