Good evening, ladies and gentleman. Tonight, I thought instead of making a Top 10 list or talk about one of my favorite animated shows, I thought I could talk about what I'd like to do this summer, and also set some goals that could at least completed by the end of August. For one, I'd like to finish ALL of my books that I got at Half Price Books and Barnes and Noble. Some of the books that I got were stuff that were by Scholastic, usually stuff like Goosebumps, the more recent history-disaster anthology series I Survived, books that aren't even sold anymore(even the there's been recent remake based of original said series' spin-off books), like the Bionicle short novellas and chapter books, catch up with all of the A Series of Unfortunate Events books in time for the upcoming Netflix series, as well as possibly start with recent series Spirit Animals as well as read classic literature like The Wind in the Willows(even though I didn't get it at Half Price Books or Barns and Noble, I got it for Easter from my grandmother.). What I'd really like to do this summer(aside from finish books that haven't been finished yet like my Wizard of Oz compilation book I got in the summer of 2014), is read more books that are classic literature like The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. The reason I mentioned the latter is because I saw the 2016 live-action Disney film that was remake of the 1967 animated film and I'd really love to read books that are mostly classic literature and/or almost anything by Scholastic. Speaking of classic literature, I've been somewhat interested in wanting to get into a more recent book series, The Land of Stories(by Chris Colfer, of Glee fame of all people), a book series about 2 twins siblings who a transported to titular Land of Stories, were they end up meeting several famous fairy-tale characters, like Red Riding Hood, Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, who is now a queen and is also pregnant, and even a humanoid frog former-prince literally named Froggy. It sounds really interesting since it uses all the classic fairy-tale characters that we all know and love. Another thing I'd like to do this summer is play Wii U games with my family; my sister has only play games like Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, and Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS and it would be a blast to play it all with them(if only I could find the other Wii Remote!). I'd also like to see movies that have been well-received and have become box-office powerhouses, like
Captain America: Civil War(which I have yet to seen), The BFG(based of the Roald Dahl book of the same name, which I've read)which will be legendary Steven Spielberg's first Disney film, and eat out at Cane's chicken restaurant.
That'll be all for tonight, but hope you've had fun reading this email of my to-do stuff for summer of 2016. See you later!!!

Hello everyone, this is Connor. I'm sorry that I haven't done anymore blogs like this, I've gotten my own Google email account thanks to my mother. For the last few months I have been writing blogs for a young woman named Stephanie who is immobile and most move around with a motorized wheel chair and is just recently in the hospital for medical procedures. With that out of the way, I'd thought I'd like to talk about book I've just finished and I'm now writing a book review about. And that book is The Trumpet of the Swan. It's about a young Trumpeter Swan naked Louis that is unable to speak. His father feels pity for him, so he decides that out of love and compassion, to steal a trumpet from a music store for his son. Afterwards, Louis befriends a young boy named Sam Beaver, who the latter takes an imitate liking to. After Louis becomes a hit with the trumpet he then tries to impress his childhood love, Serena. This book is not just a children's book, it's a book for adults, made by books for adults. It's one of the books that you cannot put down once you read it. The themes in this book seem to be about overcoming your disabilities, and if you can truly rise to the top and become the best of the best. And despite not featuring a main villain, (though there may be an animal predator that threatens to devour the Swan family) the main conflict is that fact that Louis himself is trying to juggle his personal life and his professional life. He's doing his best to to try and make a living and attempt to restore his father's honor and grace. The other characters we focus on are Louis' parents, who are never named(even the movie, which I'll talk about. HORRIBLE!) help Louis with his own inability to speak, like all great parents. The main HUMAN character is Sam Beaver, a young boy who becomes fascinated by the Trumpeter Swan family and later befriends their Louis. Another thing I'm always fascinated by in fiction is the friendship between a boy and his animal companion, and this story is no exception. As Sam Beaver and Louis becomes closer, Louis begins to practice better into a professional trumpet player. And that's what the message of this book is. That, no matter who or what we are, if we learn to overcome our disabilities, we can truly reach our dreams, and never give no matter what.
That's it for this review but I'll try to be back soon.

Hi, Hello, and Howdy-do, y'all, this is your good ol' friend Connor Brown here with another top 10 countdown list.
In reality, we always seem to grow up from are beloved imaginative and nostalgic childhoods to our to are robust, sophisticated, ethical, serious and hard-working adulthood, and we seem to move on to a much bigger, daring, bold, and immensely wider region of our lives. But sometimes it's too much for us to handle, let alone to try and function in our modern 21st-century with no knowledge on how to provide for own housing, debt, work, balancing, and personal needs. We feel like it would pressure us to much to point were it would be emotionally stressing. Right now I'm 19 years old, a young man born to a Christian family and I have been going to church ever since I was in elementary school. The point being, it's alright to live with your family for the rest of your life. You should not let anyone else tell you what to do or let them insult or ridicule you that make you want to leave home like everyone else. Which brings to our main subject for today: parents. There are the ones who love us, care for us, discipline us, and be our supporters. But in the field of animation, they could be again, the hero's supporter, the voice of reason. someone to fight along side with, or someone to love.
To coincide to my mom's birthday today, I'm going to be counting the top 10 Animated Mothers in all of animation history.
10. Wilma Flinstone-the Flinstones
9. Marge Simpson-the Simpsons
8.Bambi's Mother-Bambi
7.. Littlefoot's Mother- the Land Before Time
6. Kya (Katara's mother)- Avatar the Last Airbender
5. Helen Parr/ Elastigirl- the Incredibles
4. Dexter's mom- Dexter's Laboratory
3. Mrs. Potts- Disney's Beauty and the Beast
2. Ms. Tonitini (Disney's thr Weekenders)
1. Mrs. Brisby (the Secret of NIHM)

Welcome back, everyone! Connor Brown back to report my origin of Lance Stevens/ Jumpstart, the main character of the Super 7. The last time we saw him, he was just about to leave for home after a meeting, only for him to be nearly killed after saving a construction worker, get critically crushed by a steel beam. Don't worry, if this scene is every animated or ever aired on television, I'll make DANG sure that it's censored so we never see the impact of the a crash. Anyways, after this deathful accident, Lance is than taken to the hospital were his wife then visits him. They soon meet by Dr. Norman Banks, an elderly but kindly old roboticist inventor. He soon tells him that he had built a robot exoskeleton made for military purposes. Lance is reluctant, feeling that he might never have a normal life ever again and that he will not know how to operate or use his newfound cybernetic abilities, but Norman reassures him that he and other scientists at RevoTech Laboratories will make sure his surgery will not try to jeopardize his social life and that he and other roboticists who work at RevoTech will make sure that his new form as a cyborg will be kept it a secret with him, the people at RevoTech, his wife, and his other loved ones(Except his parents. Spoiler Alert!)
Now onto the other 6 main characters, starting with 2 strong female heroines, beginning with Alice Winters aka the Lucky Rabbit born on Easter of 1976, in Knoxville, Tennessee to British parents. Alice herself is named after the main heroine from the famous British children's novel, Alice in Wonderland, and it just so happens that her parents are children's book writers and illustrators(Coincidence, I think NOT!).
Her parents work as children's novelists have gotten awards for Best Original Written Work.
When she was just 13-years old, she went on a vacation to her parents home in London, England,Europe were she meet 6-year old Olivia Matterson, who become her life-long best friend.
Unfortunately, on Alice's 18th birthday, her parents leave home to pickup her birthday cake and they suddenly disappear without any explanation. Alice, feeling worried about there unexpected absence, suddenly calls the police to try and find them. Sadly, they tell her that they have not yet found them, but they will keep looking for both of them. I'll write about these 2 lovely little ladies next time. See ya!

Hi everyone, this your good ol' pal and ally Connor Brown here telling you about one of my favorite works of fiction: superheroes! Every since the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Wonder Woman in All-Star Comics#8, the first appearance of Batman in Detective Comics # 27, and the first appearance the Hulk in The Incredible Hulk #1, superheroes have amazed generations both young and old, children and adults of every age. The superhero genre has definitely been through it's successes(Batman:the Animated Series,The Dark Knight,Superman 2, Justice League/Unlimited, The Avengers), and it's failures(Catwoman, Batman and Robin, The Avengers: United They Stand, Superman 4 Quest For Peace, Green Lantern, Daredevil, Spiderman 3),but it is still a wonderful genre, nevertheless. The world of comic book adaptations is definitely some thing to be hold, appealing to children, teenagers, adults, and even the elderly. The superhero genre has been adapted to toys, video games, novelty products, wall graphic stickers, clothing, posters,etc. But what I'm about to talk about is a creation that I made and worked on that I hope to be adapted one day by Disney Television Animation as one of the most original animated shows in years, sharing the same success as other critically acclaimed animated works of art, such as Gravity Falls,Phineas and Ferb, The Legend of Korra, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Adventure Time. The show that I'm of course talking about is The Super 7. The Super 7 is about 7 superheroes( Jumpstart, the White Ghost, the Lucky Rabbit, the Silver Unicorn, Tigershark, Fast Foward, and All-American) as they fight evil both day and night in the fictional city of Markin, Minnesota, all while trying to maintain there civilian personal lives all while trying to investigate conspiracies of corrupt politicians, insane toy-makers, sexist female kingpins, and an evil immortal Egyptian Pharaoh who's evil agenda is to travel back in time and rewrite the entire universe in his own dark, sinister image.
Here are my heroes:
Lance Stevens/Jumpstart (born February 14,1963) - Lance Stevens is a middle-aged architect who is very kind, caring, intelligent, handsome, dedicated, and friendly. On day after finishing a meeting and about to leave for home, he notices a steel beam about to fall on a construction worker. So without wasting time, who pushes the worker just in time as the steel beam is falls on his back, nearly killing him. Lance is than rushed to Green Oaks Hospital were he is than declared paralyzed from his waist to his legs and toes. Professor Norman Banks who heard and saw the horrifying incident, offers him a chance for a better life by having him his almost his entire body be rebuilt from a futuristic exoskeleton called, "the Exoapien". Lance, not having a better chance of living, agrees to do so and he is then taken to the RevoTech laboratory to have his body rebuilt
from top to bottom.
That's it for now. Be sure to check back next time for the other superhero origins.
Bye-Bye-Bye-Bye!
