Ronaldo Changes Juventus

-
By Starlyn Reyes
Hi, I’m a 7th grader and this is my first article. So, most of us know one of the best futbol (soccer) players is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.

He plays for a great team called Real Madrid FC (a Spanish Football Team), but in August, he left Real Madrid to go to Juventus FC (an Italian Football Team). According to New York Times, this happened because the Brazilian football player Neymar wants to win the Ballon de Oro (a trophy) and the club’s president, Florentino Perez, says if Neymar wanted to win the Ballon de Oro he would have to move to Real Madrid and Ronaldo did not like that. Moreover, the club’s president and Ronaldo have problems. So, Juventus offered to take Ronaldo and they agreed to a transfer of 112 million euros.

Fans have lots of feelings about this transfer. Ronaldo has been playing for Real Madrid for almost 10 years! But this isn’t the first time he is changing teams. The first time he changed his team was from Sporting De Lisboa (a Portuguese Football Club) to Manchester United (an English Football Club).
He has been playing really great with his new team, but things have really changed with his old team, Real Madrid. They are losing and tieing some games. Could Real Madrid play worse since Ronaldo left? Well, we don't know yet.

Currently, Real Madrid in the 6th place and have only 20 points in the Spanish League (La Liga Santander), which is weird because they are always in the second or third place in the rankings! Meanwhile, Juventus has 34 points and is in 1st place in the Italian league (Serie A). Currently, Ronaldo has made five goals in the Italian league and zero in the Champions League. He had his first red card with his team in the Champions League in August.

So if you are a Ronaldo fan, what do you think? Has the transfer to Juventus been a good one?

By Angelirene Cuautle and Kylie WiIliams Musicals (especially here in NYC), are huge and cause even bigger fandoms. Musicals like Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, Wicked, Matilda, The Lion King, Cats, Mean Girls, Phantom of the Opera, etc. The problem is, some people stereotype musicals to be happy and cheerful. But musicals can also have dark stories, cliffhangers and can help people get through some difficult times. They can even help people express their feelings. But overall, they are just as great as movies or shows and can also have cult followings. We at HPCMS here in Long Island City have our own musical productions too. This year we are doing Peter Pan, the musical. Students are making costumes and rehearsing in the auditorium. You can see students rehearsing their lines and marking their dance steps. Cara Giardina from class 603 explains: “My role in the musical is a Siren. Learning the songs is kind of hard but usually to practice, Mr. Quaintance (the director) makes u...

The Beautiful Woman By Savannah Parker  Chapter 1: Heartbeat Ironically, it was sunny, a beautiful day. I woke up on the floor at a dim house, the light from outside shined through the large window, blinding me. I didn't remember anything from last night. As I forced my eyes open, I saw another person. She was still asleep on the couch. I felt jealous of her long brown curly hair and tan skin. I struggled to walk over to her; my legs felt weak; the soreness worsened as I walked closer and closer. When I arrived at the couch, there was an awful stench that caused my eyes to burn. I was too desperate to back away; I needed to get out of there. So I plugged my nose and walked, squinting. I tapped her; she didn’t budge. I shook her shoulder a little more forcefully. Again, she didn't budge. I didn’t even hear the slightest breath of her deep sleep. I tried to reject the thought, the thought you should know by now. Death. But how? Why? I backed away, scared, not noticing the glass v...
