But when she does the next day, most of the other children tease her and call out different patterns which cause the colors on her skin to shift around, even when the class said the Pledge of Allegiance. Bumble, determines that Camilla is well enough to attend school tomorrow. On the first day of school, she wakes up to discover thick, solid-colored stripes all over her body. However, she refuses to eat them because her friends dislike them and Camilla wants to fit in, to the point of trying on over forty different outfits in an attempt to be fashionable. The main character is a girl named Camilla Cream who secretly loves lima beans. ![]() Amongst some negative response, this children’s book is also praised for its creativity, illustrations, and meaningful lessons. A Bad Case of Stripes highlights the theme of being true to oneself and is commonly used by educators to teach young students important values. I really wanted to know what happened to make this little girl become striped.Blue Sky Press (an imprint of Scholastic Press)Ī Bad Case of Stripes is a children's book written and illustrated by David Shannon published in 1998 by Blue Sky Press, a division of Scholastic Press. The title and the illustration on the front cover of the book drew my attention. The author used a lot of imagery and figurative language. One child said, "Let's see some purple polka dots!" Her skin turned all purple polka-dotty. When the specialists work on her in the story, they "squeeze, jab, tap, and test her." Another example of this is when the students kept changing her skin. When Camilla changes in the story, everything is explained in a very exaggerated way. Alliteration is used again when Camilla goes to school and gets called the name "Camilla Crayon," with the letter c being repeated again. A simile is used in the story in the line "She looked like a rainbow." Hyperboles are seen throughout the entire story. Her name is "Camilla Cream," with the letter c repeated. Alliteration is seen at the beginning of the book when the main character is introduced. I also saw many types of figurative language in this story such as alliteration. In regard to prose, I feel that the sentences in this book flow very easily. Person-against-person is also seen in this story because Camilla faces problems with her friends and others in the community. Camilla experiences person-against-self when she is battling her feelings and her disease. The pictures of Camilla with her skin all kinds of different colors and designs is an example, as well as the picture of Camilla becoming the walls of her bedroom.Ī Bad Case of Stripes has two different types of conflict. Many of the pictures are images of things that are not realistic. The illustrator used an abstract style of art that was surrealistic. The pictures show the reader exactly what Camilla looks like everytime her skin changes. The illustrations made the book even more enjoyable. At the end of the story, someone comes along who things she has a cure for this "stripes disease." I wonder who that is and what she thinks she can do to help Camilla? ![]() ![]() The pills that were prescribed to her turned her into a human pill. Someone yelled "Checkerboard!" and all of a sudden, she looked like a human game board! Many professionals and doctors tried to figure out how to cure Camilla of this crazy disease, but no one had any luck. School turned out to be a nightmare! As songs were sung and people said things, Camilla would turn into anything that was said. ![]() As Camilla was deciding on an outfit for the first day of school, she discovered that she covered in stripes! The stripes did not cause Camilla to feel bad at all so she went on to school. Cricket, and quite a few others.The setting of this story is at Camilla's school and home Camilla Cream was a little girl who loved lima beans, but she wouldn't eat them because she wanted to fit in with friends at school, and other children did not like lima beans.

Here’s a simple guide to packing metal figures. Depending on the art figure size, you can ship 2-3 items in one envelope just make sure they’re wrapped individually. However, wrapping your metal figures pre-shipment will add an extra layer of protection. In other words, many metal pieces can easily withstand transportation without a thick box. Plus, metal is a solid material and often fairly durable. If your figures are heavier than 1 lb, but still small, envelopes can be an appealing money saver. In these cases, you might use a bigger envelope or consider a flat rate box, which is a bit more expensive but will keep your product safer.īut metal figures are on this list because they are heavy-especially scrap metal figures (which are quite popular these days!).

Since then numerous theories have emerged for their sudden overnight appearances Speaking from California she added: "There is a phenomenon here and they are trying to muddy the waters and take advantage of the situation for self publicity."Ĭrop circles became known to the public after a report in 1980 about circles that appeared below Westbury White Horse in Wiltshire. "Researchers are spoiling the real truth and are determined to say that all crop formations are the result of another life form - when they know this is not always the case."Ĭrop circle students refused to allow the courtroom admission detract from their studies.įrancine Blake, coordinator of the 400 member Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group, said she believed vandals were trying to take advantage of the interest in crop circles to get into the news.

"A lot of people will be upset by the creation of this seven-point star because they have a lot to lose by the truth coming out. "There is a phenomenon that is being ignored. "There are some real circles but unfortunately there are researchers who aren't telling the truth," he claimed. But he believed the academic world was conning the public into believing crop circles were an extra terrestrial phenomenon. Outside court, Williams, who has set up his own magazine and website devoted to crop circles, said it had never been his intention to mislead. "We suggest in future that before you go running around making artifical circles you get permission from whoever owns the field otherwise you will be committing criminal damage." He said the farmer would have to pursue compensation through other agencies.įining him and ordering him to pay £40 costs, the magistrate told Williams: "If you had found out who owned the field before you did what you did then the bench would certainly not be hearing this case today. Magistrate Geoffrey Olsen told Williams he was unable to order him to compensate farmer Michael Maude who suffered damage to a crop of winter wheat put at £200. He was simply trying to prove that a seven point star can be man-made." His actions did not result in any financial gain for himself. Mr Clifford told the court: "'My client has strong beliefs that the public were being misled. ![]() The court heard that in a police interview Williams was "quite candid" and admitted creating the circles, going into some detail about how he did it using planks and bamboo. Stephen Clifford, defending Williams said: "His desire was to prove Mr Glickman wrong." Yesterday, in what is thought to be the first prosecution of its kind in Britain, he admitted a charge of causing criminal damage to farmland and was fined £100.ĭevizes magistrates heard that Williams had become increasingly angry at Glickman's claims that crop-circles were the work of "strange forces, aliens or otherwise". ![]() It was passed on to the professor who alerted police. He then emailed a picture of the work to the presenter. When the presenter challenged him to prove the professor wrong, Williams went under cover of darkness with his friend to the field at Manor Farm, West Overton, near Marlborough, to create the design. He heard Professor Glickman claim on an American radio show that is was impossible for a human to create a seven pointed star shape in a crop field - it could only have been created by aliens.Īfter listening to the show via the internet, Williams contacted the show's presenter by email dismissing Prof Blickman's claims. Williams, 29, of Bishops Cannings, near Devizes, Wilts, decided to act after becoming incensed by the claims of Michael Glickman, a former professor of architecture who has studied crop circles for many years.

Tim doesn’t seem to have much anymore, but it looks like he is still an Indiana native determined to expose the “truth” about all those who want to bring him down. He was held in contempt of court again in October 2021, and the assets of his park have since been auctioned. A judge eventually revoked his permit to acquire, exhibit, and own any exotic and native animals as well.įrom what we can tell, Tim has been fined more than $750,000 in legal fees to PETA after years of court proceedings with the organization, along with a $340,000 fine for violating the Animal Welfare Act.
