Stay the Way You Are America

America

Dear America

I like the red and white stripes of your flag

I like the freedom you give everyone

And the right to vote we all have

America

Dear America

I like the 4th of July

I like the split of power

And the statue that represents you named Lady Liberty

America

Dear America

I like the kind people you have

I like the health care

And the good schools I can be at

Oh, America

Dear America

Can you always stay like this

And be exactly what we want you to be!

A very Sad Incident

     Once upon a time, long, long, ago, in the world there were only 20 foxes, 2 beaches, 3 classrooms, 4 horses, 5 llamas, 8o windows, 4 lamps, 82 trees, 4 plates, 2 pencils, 8 spiders, 3 pigs, 2 flies, 8 turkies, 23 bushes, 20 mice, 3 rulers, 4 birds, 2 books and 33 boys. These things were all in the wild.
     Now you can see, there were very less of these things in the wild. The rest were inside houses. Yes, people had beaches inside houses and all these crazy animals. Everything was perfect, except for the one day when it got crazy.
     This day started as a regular day. The animals inside the houses were all calm. Then a mouse threw a piece of cheese at a cat. The cat threw the cheese onto a wolf. The wolf threw the cheese at a fox. And so it went on. More food getting thrown into the fight. The food fight.
     Soon, all the animals went crazy, throwing food all over the place. Eventually, the fight grew into other homes. The animals attacked the humans, not purposefully though. They were trying to avoid the food.
     The humans, trying to save themselves from the animals, attacked everything in their sight. So that day, 1,000 humans died. So did 8,000 animals. Now the humans had learned a huge lesson. They never let animals in their homes anymore.
      And for the animals..., well you can say they never recovered from this incident. Now if a human ever meets an animal..., no wonder the animals try to attack! This is the end of the very sad tale of the humans and the animals.

How it was in those times...

Just a Summer Day

One day I was walking to the park in the summer. Like usual, I walked barefoot. It was my favorite thing of all thing to walk barefoot in summer. I liked how my feet always felt whatever was on the path to the park. Since I walked across the road on the way to the park, I always felt like my feet were enjoying life more without my shoes. I was just strolling across the sidewalk when I saw the strangest thing in the whole entire world!

A dog and a cat sitting in the same tree! The cat was two branches higher than the dog and was hissing at it with a mean look in its eyes. I almost exploded laughing when I saw the cat start throwing acorns at the dog! It looked like the animals would get into a fight. Just to stop them, I scrambled up the tree to where the creatures were fighting. Suddenly, I stepped between them and the animals just froze. I think they were pretty surprised to find a human on a tree. I thought I was about to stop the animals from fighting, but then they both tried to throw stuff at me! What was I supposed to do?

I thought I was doomed until I had an idea. What if I took one of the animals down from the tree so the other couldn’t fight it?. For some reason though, I had thoughts against doing that. What if these animals had owners? Then I would be stealing a loving animal from someone. Then I had a different idea. What if I stopped one of the cars on the road and asked the person inside if I could borrow their phone. I think I thought that it would be a bad idea because it was strange to stop a car on the road. Also, it would be a bad idea because people wouldn’t be happy if I went and called the police to get some animals down from trees.

Then I think I had the best idea of all ideas. I could just run home and get a phone from my house. Then I could climb up the tree and call the police pretending that I was stuck in a tree when I was trying to rescue a dog and a cat in the tree. The only issue was that I wasn’t stuck in the tree. I could easily climb down. Now I must tell you who I really am. I am the master tree climber of my whole school. I could climb up any tree and get to its top in about 1 minute. I wasn’t scared of any heights at all. I was the best at anything involved even the teeniest bit in climbing. I could climb up any wall just by sticking my hands on it and moving up. Anyways, back to my idea. I knew I had to get these animals down so I decided just to go with the best of all my plans.

I ran home and got a phone. Then I ran back to the tree but the animals were gone! I looked at the texture of the tree and finally realized I was at the wrong tree. I ran fast to get to the right tree but suddenly I saw the animals stuck in the tree right in front of me. How did they get out, I thought? I had bigger issues to worry about though. The two animals were attacking me! I ran to the park the dog and the cat chasing me the whole way. When it had finally seemed I lost them, I sat down on the nearest bench and started relaxing. But suddenly both animals jumped out of the bush and I was being chased again. I ran through the park, and when I finally lost them for real; I sat down on a bench and relaxed for 10 minutes. Then I ran home and into my room. I turned on the AC.

What an adventure I’d had!

Dog and Cat In a tree!!

A Camp for a Day or Two

On this morning, this sunny morning a camp trip had been planned. We would go at 4.00 PM. We finally had our bags packed into the car. I read a book until a campsite appeared. Slowly we picked up our bags and started to our cabin. My dad found the way but the rest of us got lost. After 30 minutes of walking, we met dad and he led us to the cabin. After we were settled, we walked to the BB gun shooting and waited 30 minutes. When it was finally our turn, we put on safety goggles and picked up our BB guns. I loaded mine and found out all my 5 bullets were stuck inside with one more too. I got a different BB gun and did 5 shots. They all were very close but none made it in. We left the BB guns and walked to archery. While I was waiting I had an apple to pass time. When it was my turn, I didn’t know how to shoot so the coach taught me. I finally got the arrow in the target. When all six kids had finished, we picked up our arrows and put them back where they belonged. We left archery and went to dinner. After we were all filled up, I started to collect sticks for roasting marshmallows. I then played with a group of people around a fire. Soon I got bored and  went up to the cars, racing other people down the hills. Soon it was time for the campfire where we would roast marshmallows. Some kids did tiny skits in the light of the fire. One was really funny. What happened was that two friends thought they saw poop in Penn Station. They smelled the poop, felt the poop, saw the poop, and tasted the poop. Than one sure got me laughing. Finally it was time to roast marshmallows. I made one s, more and ate 2 marshmallows plain. Soon the fire was put out and people got ready for bed. I used the bathroom, changed my clothes, and straightened up my sleeping bag. In the morning, after breakfast, we packed up and left. I’ll never forget that trip, not ever, ever, ever.

An example of my campsite!!

A Wrinkle in Time book Review

A short introduction to A Wrinkle in Time

Meg Murry is a high school girl and when three other worldly creatures appear and sweep Meg and her brother Charles Wallace plus their friend Calvin O'Keefe on a mission to save Meg’s father, little do they know what they are getting into.

Conflict One

Meg’s Father is missing. Practically no one is involved except for one thing. That’s right, it’s not a person. The only thing involved is IT. IT is a brain preserved and it is trying to take over the world. IT captures Meg’s father. What happens in this conflict is that Meg’s father disappears and doesn’t come back because he is captured by IT. This happens on Camazotz where Meg’s

father is being held captive. It happens throughout the time he is on Camazotz. This conflict occurred because IT wants to take over the world and he especially wants Meg’s father because he is a brilliant scientist.

"Look, dope. Calvin shook her gently. I just want to get things straight, sort of sort out the fact from fiction. Your father's a physicist. That's a fact, yes? Yes. He's a Ph.D. several times over. Yes. Most of the time he works alone but some of the time he was at the Institute for Higher Learning in Princeton. Correct? Yes. Then he did some work for the government, didn't he? Yes. You take it from there. That's all I know. That's about all I know, too, Meg said. Maybe Mother knows more. I don't know. What he did was—well, it was what they call Classified. Top Secret, you mean? That's right. And you don't even have any idea what it was about? Meg shook her head. No. Not really. Just an idea because of where he was. Well, where?" Out in New Mexico for a while; we were with him there; and then he was in Florida at Cape Canaveral, and we were with him there, too. And then he was going to be traveling a lot, so we came here.
You'd always had this house? Yes. But we used to live in it just in the summer. And you don't know where your father was sent? No. At first we got lots of letters. Mother and Father always wrote each other every day. I think Mother still writes him every night. Every once in a while the postmistress makes some kind of a crack about all her letters. I suppose they think she's pursuing him or something, Calvin said, rather bitterly. They can't understand plain, ordinary love when they see it. Well, go on. What happened next? Nothing happened, Meg said. That's the trouble. Well, what about your father's letters? They just stopped coming. You haven't heard anything at all? No Meg said. Nothing. Her voice was heavy with misery.”(part of page 35 & the full page of 36 & part of page 37)

Conflict Two

IT wants to control people. The thing involved in making this conflict occur is IT and a human who works for IT; the Prime Coordinator . IT plans to control everyone in the world and starts by controlling everyone on his planet. What happens is that when you look into the Prime Coordinator’s eyes, IT takes you in and controls you. This conflict occurs on Camazotz and every time of IT’s life. Why this conflict occurs because IT is greedy and selfish and wants to be the ruler of everyone in the world.

This quote happens after Meg finds her dad and her dad realizes Charles Wallace is being controlled by IT.

Mr. Murry released Meg and knelt in front of the little boy. Charles, his voice was tender. Charles Wallace. What do you want? I'm your father, Charles. Look at me. The pale blue eyes seemed to focus on Mr. Murry's face. Hi, Pop, came an insolent voice. That isn't Charles! Meg cried. Oh, Father, Charles isn't like that. IT has him. Yes. Mr. Murry sounded tired. I see. He held his arms out. Charles. Come here." (part of page 116)

Conflict Three

Meg doubts herself too much and has a lack of self respect for herself. Who makes this conflict occur is actually Meg herself. She doubts herself throughout the book. What happens is that Meg thinks she can’t do something and then she performs poorly in it. This conflict occurs everywhere Meg is; in school, when on Camazotz. It occurs any time of the day. It happens because Meg doubts herself and deems herself incapable of doing what needs to happen.

This quote occurs after Meg gets back from school

“A delinquent, that's what I am, she thought grimly. —That's what they'll be saying next. Not Mother. But Them. Everybody Else. I wish Father— But it was still not possible to think about her father without the danger of tears. Only her mother could talk about him in a natural way, saying, When your father gets back—" (part of page 2)

This quote occurs after Meg decided to leave her attic bedroom

"Go back to sleep, Meg said. Just be glad you're a kitten and not a monster like me. She looked at herself in the wardrobe mirror and made a horrible face, bearing a mouthful of teeth covered with braces. Automatically she pushed her glasses into position, ran her fingers through her mouse-brown hair, so that it stood wildly on end, and let out a sigh almost as noisy as the wind.” (part of page 2)

Lesson learned from A Wrinkle in Time

It only matter about what your heart is like and what is on the inside, not how you look. I got this because Meg blames her looks for everything bad happening to her at the beginning of the story. However, learning that Calvin likes her looks Meg eventually realizes this lesson.
