Weight of a Mass
Weight of a Mass
The Weight Of A Mass is a tale about having Faith. The book begins with the announcement of a royal couple to be wed in a cathedral. The wedding was chosen to be held there because the King’s people grew cold hearts. The main characters in this book is an old widow, the baker and the baker’s son. The book is set in the baker’s bakery where there are swarms of people in the fanciest clothes. The old widow then goes to the front of the counter and begs for a piece of stale bread because she had no money. The baker was annoyed at her for she had no money to pay him so he started to taunt her. She said that she would offer a mass for him but he was still not surprised. He just continued to taunt her. Then he challenges her to see how much he had to give her. He wrote the words: One Mass and placed it on the scale. He then cut a piece of bread and placed it opposite the words. In his surprise, the offered up mass, lifted up the bread. Near to the end, the baker realises his great mistake. He knew that baked goods can not balance the offered up mass.
My favourite part of this book is when the baker then realises that he can not balance every single one of his baked goods with an offered up mass. This is my favourite part because not many people with hearts so cold like his.
I recommend this book to ages 7-11 years of age because this is an easy book to read especially because it has no chapters and it isn’t that long but it tells a great moral. I encourage everyone to read this book!

Take a Stand-World Vision
Take a Stand-World Vision
Dan Whittaker from World Vision. He is the main person in this article because Dan made a winning video based on Taking A Stand. His video was made because he wanted to spread a message throughout the country or even the world.
Dan created a video that took 4 hours to create. His video was about taking
a stand for the people in Bangladesh who are poor and they don’t have enough food to eat everyday.
This video took place in New Zealand. In Dan’s video, he was encouraging all New Zealanders to Take A Stand for the 40 hours of Famine.
The article does not state when this happened but I know that the article was posted on May 12 2015.
In Dan’s video, Dan says: “This video is about taking a stand, and that’s something I believe we need to do for the children of Bangladesh. I made this because I can spread a message through making videos, and I really wanted to spread the word.”
Dan made a video for World Vision. His message was about taking a stand for the children in Bangladesh. He did this for 40 Hours Of Famine. His video was the winner and he wanted to spread his message all over the country and the whole globe.
If Dan’s video’s message spreads through the country, in the future Bangladesh might not suffer from hunger or poverty.
Dan made this video because he really wanted to help the children from Bangladesh.
