What is your favorite cartoon network show?
Hands down, my favorite cartoon network show is Chowder. This is the show I spent my entire elementary career watching. Chowder is a purple rabbit racoon hybrid creature, who works as an apprentice to a master chef Mung Daal. Also in the show are many food related characters, such as Schnitzel, Truffles, Panini, and Gorgonzola. Chowder is not a very good chef, so he ends up constantly annoying Mung and Schnitzel. He also causes a lot of trouble, such as exploding the kitchen on multiple occasions. The show itself may have only been on air for three years, but those years were full of life lessons and laughs, which have brought my humor to the level at which it is today. I continue to watch reruns on Hulu whenever I need a nice, nostalgic, and humorous show.

If you could be a state, which one would you be?
This is a very creative question, so thank you to the bright mind who submitted this. The state I would most likely choose to become is the great state of Oregon. I say this because I feel as though Oregon is a very healthy state, full of healthy people. Some fun stats include: one of the top 10 cycling communities in the nation, the first state to ban non-returnable bottles and cans, and one of the country’s largest ecological research sites is located in Oregon as well. Because of these statistics, and relationships with people who live there, I feel as though the people of Oregon take very good care of their state. Whereas industrial and heavily residential states, such as Michigan and New York, respectively, would make the embodiment of the state feel unhealthy. Basically what I am saying is this: if you were a state, would you want your land torn up to make smelly factories and big heavy skyscrapers? While in Oregon, the people take care of and give back to the land they live on.
What language is your favorite, other than Latin?
Latin is, of course, the best language. However, if I were to write about that we would need to increase the size of the paper by at least 20 pages for this question alone. So instead, I will write about the next language I know the most about, German. The flavor of this language is immaculate. It has a way of sounding authoritative, yet calm. My mom speaks a bit of German, but has only taught me one phrase, which I repeat whenever I get the chance. “Darf ich meinen Bleistift spitzen?” Which means “May I sharpen my pencil?” This sentence is very fun for me to say, as it just rolls off the tongue. My mom also prefers to scold our dogs in German, although what she says is incorrect. If my dog Gucci is jumping up onto the counter, my mom will yell “Nicht!” This is incorrect because “nicht” means “not.” So what she really should be saying is “Nein!” which means “no.” She claims that she chooses to say “nicht” over “nein” because it sounds meaner, and gets the dogs to really listen to her. This is actually true, because I have tried saying both words to them, and they respond quicker to “nicht.” Now, I will wait for my dogs to do something bad so I can scold them in Latin. I will share the results in the next issue of the Scroll, so stay tuned for part two.
