If We had a Magic Lamp

It's Friday and that means it's time for If I Had A Magic Lamp Meme started by Ya-Aholic.  To find out more about this meme please visit http://www.ya-aholic.com/.  This is a really fun way for us to be creative and make 3 wishes!  Here's our very own genie, Emiline to grant some wishes.

Marsh is reading Ghosts in the Fog: The Untold Story of Alaska's WW2 Invasion by Samantha Seiple and his wishes are:

1.  I wish the United States would have barricaded Alaska to prevent the Japanese from  any further attacks on Alaska.

2.  I wish the people of U.S. could have known about the secret attacks on Alaska during World War II so they could contribute money, food, and weapons to help the soldiers stationed in Alaska.

3.  I wish the Navy could have created a blockade they could have shot the planes out of the sky and saved civilian lives and helped prevent minor panic in Alaska. 

Emiline is ALMOST FINISHED reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling and her wishes are:

1.  I wish I was at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry so I could play Quidditch with the Griffindor Team.  I would love to soar through the sky on a Firebolt!

2.  I wish I could meet Harry Potter and tell him as much as I know about You-Know-Who as I can.

3.  I wish I could stop everyone from calling Luna "Looney Lovegood".  I really like Luna and she's very nice.  We are a lot alike and it's okay to be yourself.

What if we had a Magic Lamp?

Marsh's Magic Lamp Wishes:
I'm reading The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch, and if I was a character in this book my wishes would be:

1.  I wish that Will would not try to get Stephen evicted from the town by saying Stephen was doing things like threatening him with a knife and starting fights.

2. If I was in that world, I would wish they had places like Outback Steakhouse on the road so you could just go in, sit down, eat a nice dinner, and go back to scavenging.   

3.  If I was a character in the book, I would wish to have planned ahead. That way I would know something was going to happen to us when we nuked China.  I would have fortified a small area and stored up weapons and ammo and placed turrets outside the gate so no infected people would be tempted to get in.

Emiline's Magic Lamp Wishes:
I'm reading Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling and my wishes are all about the magical world of Harry Potter.

1.  I wish that Malfoy wasn't so mean.  He has actions that will backfire on him.  But he'll deserve it!

2. I wish Snape wasn't a Death Eater.  It ruins me to know that somewhere in our world Snape is spying at Hogwarts.

3.  I wish Harry would've accepted Sirius's house for full time so he could get away from the Dursleys.  But then again, he is protected at the Dursley's.

Emiline's Magic Lamp Wishes:
I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by the marvelous J. K. Rowling.  And my wishes are . . .  (drumroll)

1.  I wish Sirius Black didn't die.  He was important to me and to Harry.  It makes me so sad.

2.  I wish that Umbridge hadn't been Headmaster!  She was a terrible woman.  How she treated people was horrible.

3.  I wish I was there when Harry was being punished by Umbridge and he had to get "I must not tell lies" carved into his hand.  I would have stopped her.

4.  I wish Snape wouldn't have stopped teaching Harry his occlumency lessons, but I'm not going to say why in case you haven't read it.

5.  I wish James Potter wouldn't have been so mean to Snape.  That's why he doesn't like Harry. 

Marsh's Magic Lamp Wishes:
I'm reading Fake Mustache by the hilarious Tom Angleberger.  My hairy wishes are...

1.  I'd wish for a Heidelberg Handlebar Mustache.

2.  I would also like a "man about town suit" that is pin striped.

3.  I would love to get $400 for my birthday so I could buy a whole season of the Jodie Rodie Show.
