John Smith

Was John Smith 23 actually sorry, or does he actually care? I think that John Smith 23 didn't really care about what he did. I think he just didn't want to face the consequences.

Letter to 23 year old me

Dear 23 year old me,
You are most likely awesome. Your welcome. If you aren't, shame on you. i hope you followed your dreams.

sincerely,
Nolan

Poison Tree

The poem "Poison Tree" is about a person who was angry at their friend. Through the anger, the friend became a foe. They milked the anger and it grew into a large tree. When it was finished growing, the foe sat underneath it.

Raymonds Run

Hazel was the second fastest person in the world who would soon be the fastest, once her father died.

Poem

This Poem made me confused. I was utterly baffled by the word choice of the author. Even after analyzing it for about ten minutes I could not find any inner meaning, or symbolism.

Gritchen

"I'm going to win the fifty yard dash this year" I brag to Rosie and Mary Louise.
"Definitely" replied Rosie
"Hazel is slow, she can't run at all" Piped up Mary. Even though I knew I didn't have a chance. Hazel was fast, but I knew that her dad was faster, he could even beat her to Amsterdam Avenue, when she has a two fire hydrant head-start, and he's hands are in his pockets while whistling. I could tell everyone that, but I'm not that mean. I may be the "leader" of Mary and Rosie, but deep down, I think I'm the saddest girl in school. I just cant pull my self together, no matter how hard I try in school, it's not good enough for my parents. Her family is perfect, I don't get why my family can't be like that.

Heros

The qualities that I look up to in a person are: courage, selflessness and awesomeness

One Year To Live

If you only had one year to live what would you do in that year? I would do every dangerous thing imaginable. I would go skydiving, white water rafting. Skiing down every major mountain peak and going cliff diving would also be on my list. Visiting every country in the world, and attempting to achieve world peace. Fly a fighter jet, save a life, and space walk. Get a Nobel Peace Prize, walk on the moon and bike with Lance Armstrong. Go paragliding, base jump, use a jet-pack, and fly the Air Force One. Fly in the Air Force One and star in a TV show. If I had one year to live, that year would be very busy

Spring Break

On Easter Sunday I went to my Great aunts house. After the Easter egg hunt, I collected the five dollars, My cousins, sister and I used a taped up plastic egg and an umbrella to play what evolved to eggball. After having repeated unsuccessful attempts to hold the egg together with the little name lable, we decided to go all out and used about half of the roll making the egg at least semi-round.

HIstory

I would like to go down in history for being awesome. You can control how people remember you, by conducting your self the right way. I might remember this school in ten years, but probably not. Other people will remember me for being awesome.

Reflections

The easiest part of the process to be the writing part. I found the hardest part of the process to be the note taking, and finding a good online source. Also, I feel that I did use the class time wisely, except for the first day, when I procrastinated a little bit, but I still finished on time. I believe that I could have made the story longer.

Interview

Q: Sir, how old are you?

A: eighteen

Q: Is that a lie? Because even if you aren't eighteen, you won't get in to trouble.

A: Flat out, sir

Q: Excuse me?

A: It was a lie, flat out.

Q: So how old are you, actually.

A: Seventeen sir.

Q: And how old were you when you joined.

A: Sixteen and a half.

Q: Were your parents informed of this decision?

A: My parents are dead.

Q: I'm sorry for your loss.

A: No your not.

Q: Whatever, had you ever used a gun before you joined.

A: Yes, before my father died he taught me how to shoot and load a rifle.

Cheap rental car

Racing down the hill, I try to brake, but nothing happens. my brakes are out and I'm traveling down at 60 miles an hour. I dodge a truck carrying sheep, and almost tip over rounding the corner. I knew I should have gotten the land rover. But instead I settled for the cheaper 2001 model. A vicious honk takes me back to reality and my instincts take over as a screech past a rumbling cement mixer and drift around the bend in the road. I see a mountain trail leading up to a tower with an amazing view, as I rip the wheel over my front tire pops and I flip over. Time slows down and my wife and kids flash before my eyes as my 500 dollar a day, rental car teeters over the edge and I fall to my death.

10 things you didn't know about the civil war response

I was surprised by the fact that after the war i still took a while to give African Americans their rights back. I was also surprised that the war was still very old fashioned even with a lot of new technology

Historical Fiction

Yes, I have thought about my historical fiction. My main character is a 15 year old, homeless boy. Trying to survive in the middle of the war. An infantryman, who lied about his age, then ran away from the army.

Wanting

"Give me some answers, dangit!" I hit the lamp and sent it swinging. As a stalked away from the table, he whispered "John Stokes." I spun around and shoved the table into the wall. Walking out of the storage crate, I said to Sam, "he's free to go." When I walk up to the car, the man greets me, "John Stokes," I say. "Thank you," said the man. Finally, now I can get revenge.

Fighting

there are some exceptions when fighting is right. fighting for what you believe in is ok, as long as it is not physical. verbal fighting, can sometime hurt more that physical. it is hard not to become violent while fighting, but you can control yourself.

Close Cncounter

As the wind whipped through my hair, my eyes started to water Shoot. I thought. I really needed to get those goggles. I closed my eyes to stop them from watering. I thought back to the days before I knew I could fly. So innocent, I thought. Dang, if only I could go back to those days. I was shocked back to reality when I heard an angry "Skwak!" and felt the weight of a bird hit my shoulder. I open my eyes to see two small red lights in the distance. Stupid Cessna. I thought. I turned around and sped back to my house.

Human Equality

I believe that humans will never be naturally equal. If we were to be equal, it would be through handicapping people like in "Harrison Burgeron." If we were all equal I believe the world would be in utter chaos. The world was not meant for people to be equal.

Superhuman Powers

Superhuman powers, every kid on earth wants to have superpowers. Flying, mind reading, and x-ray vision to name a few. I personally would choose the super power to have any superpower. That way what ever mood I am i have a superpower to match it.
