The word list

Optimist

Cristopher says - it is gonna rain today 100 percent no chance

Sai says - no Chris be positive if you want to play outside let's cross our fingers and it won't rain

At the end of the day it hadn't rained and Sai the optimist was right. 

Pessimist

Chris is a pessimist he is never on the bright side. 

Oscillate 

On a hot day, you’ll be happy to have a fan that can oscillate, meaning it moves back and forth in a steady motion.

Cog

An engine needs each of its part to work. It has gears which have wheels. Each wheel has cogs, or tiny teeth that fit together, making the wheel turn, the engine run. Every cog is essential to that engine.

I added the cog to the engine to add the flair it needed and then when I tested it, it went very well, the car steered and turned and had the right brake stop. 

Chime

Heir

Glower

If you see someone glower at you, you might consider glowering back, but no one likes an angry staring contest. To glower is not only to stare, it's to stare angrily, as if you're going to throttle someone.

I hate to be in a flower contest with Jay

That is suspense because the sentence hasn't been completed and we don't know who 

'What's he he doing? That sword is sharp - stop it,Doctor! Make it stop!"

The sentence is involving some sort of danger with the sword there mifpght be some fighting going on

Fantasy

"What is that tune? Said Karl. Why does he stop for that ? It is a little tune called the flowers of Lapland."

Normally a clock cannot talk so this is unrealistic so it is a fantasy based sentence. 

"The old cat Putzi was sitting outside, licking his paws, it was cold outside"

It is unrealistic for a cat to be sitting outside for a long time without wearing and winter clothes and not freeze and the fact that he was still showed that he wasn't feeling cold. 

Mystery

This builds up tense to the story that fritz couldn't complete the story and he will do it there meaning he will have to say random words.

"They stood in the doorway of the underground for a moment until it was raining hard. Then they closed the door and heard the gigantic sound of the rain falling in tons and avalanches,everywhere and forever."
This is a suspense sentence because it just makes the reader pause for a moment. The mind of the reader would be like rain splashing on the ground immediately. It was rain again in Venus it was a small gap of ran after 7 long years of rain on the planet. 

SCI-FI
