Author: Number 2
In the beginning there was one tiny star that was as microscopic as an ant. He was very mournful because he was the only one in existence. When he got angry, he got bigger, and one day he got so ginormous he could not fit in his house any more. He got so enraged that he exploded into one-million little stars that were as shiny as a new quarter. Now he is joyful, and now you know why there are so many stars in the sky.
Questions:
1. What do you think a good name for the star would be? Why?
2. How many stars do you think there actually are in the sky?
3. Use clues from the story to find the meaning of ginormous, mournful, and enraged.
4. What do you think the main idea of this story is?
5. Contrast the way the star feels at the beginning to how it feels at the end.

...Now you know why there are so many stars in the sky.
Author # 4 wrote a Blog Worthy response to the following prompt: Write a story that ends with the line... Now you know why there are so many stars in the sky. We hope you enjoy her take on it!
It all started when a shining amulet cristal was found in the earth by a group of hard working builders. They gave it to the scientific scholars, Dr. Lecond and Dr. Shorts. The doctors were mixing the cristals with random, flammable potions, and a beaming light was shining. They rushed outside, and it started to float. It went higher and higher and higher up to the sky.
Dr. Shorts went to go get his camera and took a picture. Two days later, it was on the front cover of the newspaper, and people talked about it for months!
Dr. Shorts and Dr. Lecond decided to make more potions because they wanted to make the nighttime sky even more beautiful. It took them about a year to make the four-billions stars that glow up in the sky, and now you know why there are so many stars in the sky.
Why did Dr. Shorts take a picture?
Why did they want to fill the sky with stars?
What descriptive words did you like in the story?
