Compare and Contrasting

The two people I am comparing are Sarah Bishop and Alex rider. Sarah is a girl who lived in the 1700's. Alex Rider is a guy that lived in the now.. almost kind of like the future. I'm comparing these two people because I thought they would have a lot to compare each other too.

For example Alex Rider and Sarah Bishop both had problems with their family. Sarahs parents died, but I'm not sure what happened to her mom. Alex Rider always got into trouble and pretty much had no parents because he was never by them. They do not have parents watching over them, so they can pretty much do whatever they want.

Another similarity that people may not have noticed is that they both don't mind the cold. In Sarahs book, she lived in a cave in the middle of winter. In Alex's book, He could walk around in the cold with no jacket or sweatshirt on as if it didn't bother him one bit. Knowing that about them, they are both probably tough, which is perfect for their character.

Now that I've told you some similarities, It's time I told you a difference. You may notice that they are much alike, but the truth is one is from the 1700's and one is from the 2000's. Sarah lived in a time when you could carry guns at a young age for your defense, when now you can't. No matter what year it is, our personalities haven't changed much.

Who would of thought that we would still be so similar in the future? Back in Sarah's time, they probably expected us to change much more than we have. But the truth is, we haven't changed at all. We're still the same people, but we're not as nice as we used to be.

The main conflict in Sarah Bishop

In my book, the main conflict is Sarah's parents dying. If they didn't die, then she wouldn't of had to go and live in the cave in the beginning of winter, and on. She could of lived on in her house alone, but she chose not to, because the town thought she burned down her brothers prison on purpose.

Sarah wasn't even responsible for the fire, she had no idea how it happened. She was still blamed, so she went to live in the cave. One other small conflict is the war that was going on at the time. All of her family had died, so she didn't have anyone else to live with, that’s why she went to live in the cave.

In the end, the conflict was solved. Sarah chose a different path, and after the war was over, she decided to still live in the cave. She didn’t want to go back to town. Sarah wanted to live in her cave, fend for herself, and be alone. The conflict was solved, but in her own way.

Love life.

Dan was planning to drop out of college. He knew exactly why, but he didn't tell anyone. He just said he thought he wasn't smart enough. The real reason that he was dropping out was because his girlfriend, Serena, and him had broken up. They were in the same college, and he thought he could get over her by dating other girls. He took that too far, and started dating multiple girls at a time.

Yes, the girls did find out, but that didn't stop Dan. He's a nobody, or at least, he was. Inside, he knew that he just couldn't get over the thought of Serena dating other people. Serena stayed loyal, and even though her and Dan were broken up, she still didn't date anyone. Serena finally found out that he was dating other people, and so he asked to go on a date to a bar with them. That, went way wrong. Things happened that no one would of ever imagined.

Serena's friends thought it would be "Funny" to see Dan's date lose her hair. So they mixed up a drink, and splashed it in her hair. In no time at all, her hair was falling out. Dan thought that Serena was the one that did it and told her to stay away from him. Serena was broken, but Dan would never know that.

Now, here's Dan. At the verge of breaking. Standing on the edge of the cliff that him and Serena met at. Dan was not broken, but only beginning to break. He couldn't take the pain anymore. He stood at the edge of the cliff, waiting. For maybe a phone call, or maybe a text, to tell him that she still cared. Does she still care? What is she doing right now? Is she still single? He would never know the truth. Never.

Here's Serena. Shes sitting at the edge of her bed, with her shoe box. Going threw all the memories that her and Dan had together. She was so sad. She was broken. She dropped the box, and lie down at the edge of her bed, waiting. For him to call. To know he still cared. To fell loved again. Does he still care? What is he doing right now? Is he still single? She would never know the truth. Never.

My dad is taking me somewhere today. I don't know where. He said it was important. Here we are, riding in the car, on a gravel road, towards what seems to be the end of the road. The car stops. My dad tells me to wait here. There are cops, and they're looking down the cliff. There's a helicopter over head. After my dad talks for about an hour, he comes back.

"Dan's dead, Jenny." My dad says to me.

Waiting, at my door for the truth of what happened to my sister. The paramedics walk out with an outstretched body bag. I over hear my mom and the doctors talking. I hear the words "Gun" "Box" and "Gone". Was she gone? is my sister really dead? I walk up to her room. Caution tape and cops are swarming threw my house. I cross the tape, and into her room. Blood. That's all I see. It's splattered on the wall above her bed, and a big spot on her bed.

"Serena's gone, Eric." I hear my mom say.

After all of this was over. I decided to write this story. My names Jenny, by the way, Jenny Humphrey. Dan's little sister. I'm not that young though, I work for a Fashion designer. I'm with a friend right now, Serena's younger brother. His names Eric Vanderwitz. Hes probably one of my best friends right now.. getting over the loss of our older siblings together is easier than doing it alone.

In Sarah Bishops point of view

How would you feel if all of your family died and you had no friends or family while there was a war? Scared, I bet. I would be. In Sarah Bishops point of view, the war that is coming to her town was a threat. She knows she has no friends or family to turn to or to live with. So she decides to ride out the war living in a cave.

The reason she had no friends or family was because someone broke down her door and shot her dad, and her brother was starved to death when he went to go to war, but ended up in a prison where he was never fed. She has no friends, because the stranger she was living with before thought she started the house on fire, when really she had no idea how it happened. The town just blamed her.

She also set a prison on fire, where she thought her brother was, but he was luckily not there. If I was the main character, I probably would of ended up knocking on strangers doors begging for food. Sarah instead, found her way far away from town with a musket, lived in a cave, and even broke a hole in the frozen lake and hooked a string in the water to catch fish. Something even I couldn't manage.

The Junkyard

"

"Are you crazy? It's four o'clock in the morning!" I shouted. Miranda was outside my window, throwing rocks again. We were those type of girls who never listened to our parents. We snuck out all the time. In fact, we did it so much, they started to not care anymore. That was okay with us.

"Brandi, Get down here!" Miranda shot the ladder upward, clinging it to my window. I climbed down the two story ladder to the dark driveway below.

"What do you want at this hour? Why couldn't you have woken me up at midnight!" I loudly whispered, shocking Miranda.

"Sorry.. I just thought we could go over to the junk yard tonight. I heard there's gonna be a fight."

"Alright.. I'll go, But only because I love to watch people fight.

Miranda and I walked to the junkyard, unaware of what was waiting for us. When Miranda and I got to the junkyard, there was no one there.

"Hey.. wheres the fight?" Miranda said, Puzzled.

"I don't know. Lets go look around a bit, maybe they're in a different section of the yard?"

"Yeah, but wouldn't we hear them?" Just then.. *BANG* A gun shot went off.

"MIRANDA, LOOK OUT!" I shouted, shocked. Miranda moved just in time for the bullet just to skim her arm. Maybe leaving in the middle of the night wasn't such a good idea anymore. As Brandi and Miranda were sitting on the ground from shock, a storm cloud moved in.

"Who shot that?" Asked Brandi. As far as they could tell, they were alone in the junkyard. Brandi and Miranda would of seen someone dashing back and forth from the garbage piles, because they weren't this tall at this time of year. The state had just cleared it out, only to have it pile back up. Just then, another bullet shot out. This time, at Brandi.

"BRANDI!" but she appeared to be dead before she hit the ground. Miranda was scared, but she wouldn't cry. She was the tough one out of them all.

"Brandi.. I swear.. I'll find out who did this to you." Miranda pulled out her cellphone, to call her other friends. She didn't call the cops. She couldn't. She decided to call their closest friends. The phone started to ring. Three rings. Four. No answer from Hannah. She decided to call her other friend. One ring. Two rings. Three rings. Four.

"Who is this." Boomed the voice in the phone.

"Its me, Miranda."

"What do you need."

"I think Brandi's dead." The phone hung up. Miranda yelled hello a couple more times, only to find out that she had lost service with all the metal and magnets around. Miranda sighed, and sat down on the cold scrap metal. It took a while, but she finally noticed that it was raining. Brandi was laying on the ground, She looked lifeless and limp. What could she do? She had no one else to turn to, especially not her parents. she could never turn to them after her father had left them. She hated her step dad, and her mom. Who could she turn to? She couldn't leave Brandi here alone. So Miranda tried to leave for help.

As Miranda was walking along the narrow paths, she didn't see the dark black scrap metal on the muddy dirt ground. Miranda tripped, and gashed open her leg. In the process she twisted it, and finally after 2 minutes of trying to get up, she realized it was broken. She couldn't leave. She couldn't get help for Brandi. She could never do anything for anyone without messing it up. [To be continued...]

The Outsiders Essay

Have you ever thought about the behind story behind Sandy and Soda-pop? If you have, then this is a good piece for you to read. I’m going to tell you all the secrets that you may not have read close enough to find out in the book. Though you may not have seen these in the book, read the whole book first before you read this, don’t be lazy.

As you already know, sandy has a behind story in the book. You probably have to re-read the book a couple times to get it, but sandy was pregnant when she left. When she left, she didn’t tell soda first. He had to hear from his friends that she moved away to Florida. TO me that sounds like a girlfriend that isn’t trustworthy. that’s an unbalanced relationship, and one that probably wont last as long as soda wants it to.

Even thought she wasn’t trustworthy, Soda-pop still stayed with her. That’s how much he loved her, even when she didn’t love him back. As I was saying before, Sandy moves away to Florida, and when she did, she didn’t tell soda. The reason she moves away to Florida, was because she was pregnant. Her parents sent her to love with her grandma because back in the old days you either had to be a mother or a slave.

If you didn’t catch all that in the book, you could still figure it out by actually paying attention, and reading the clues that were giving out. Soda didn’t really even have a chance with sandy, if you think about it. Sandy cheated on him, and never really loved him at all. She knew soda loved her, so she knew she could do whatever she wanted, but he would still stay with her. The relationship wasn’t fair, therefore it would of never lasted.

थे outsiders

I think the book is called the outsiders because the greasers don’t really fit into the whole thing. They all are like outcasts. Outcasts are people who don’t fit in with the rest of the people in the world, like me. I’m an outcast because I’m crazy, and maybe you are too.

Johnny kills Bob

In the conflict when Johnny kills Bob is that now, the police are going to come after him. The price for murder back then was the electric chair. The cause was murder and the effect is execution.

Black Cat

I am a black cat.
Sorry to tell you this, but I am dead. Many years ago on this exact day, which just happens to be Halloween. My owners birthday.
Sorry to tell you this, but I am dead. She was a cruel owner, not of this kind. Three years ago today, I was murdered.
Sorry to tell you this, but I am dead. I was thrown off a balcony, my death was just a story waiting to be told.
Sorry to tell you this, but I am dead, and you will never hear from me again.

Tell Tale Heart.

I think that the man is neither sane, nor insane, but if I had to pick one, I would be on the edge with insane, but not quite. I picked sane. Most people would of thought he was insane, but I still think that he is sane. The reason I think he is sane, is because, so what if you chopped up a person? Maybe you’re not crazy, Maybe your just a murderer, or maybe you were forced to.

Honestly, I think he’s just a murderer. Any person could be proven sane, and still chop up a person and hide them under floor boards. It’s called murder. It’s what people do, but what I don’t understand is why he wanted to murder the man. All I know is that it had something to do with the man’s eye. He might have been thought to be a little crazy because he was staring at the man for a week at night, but otherwise he’s quite sane.

In the end, I think he is sane, but he probably has a couple issues. Not many people can keep a straight face while there are cops in the room, and you have a body that you just killed under the floorboards. If that was me killing the man, I would of went insane. I can’t keep a straight face, ever. If I was in a situation with the cops, I’m sure I would break.

Are you proud of your country?

No, I am not proud of my country. I am not proud of my country because of all that society (created by people’s emotions) has done to the people in the past. Suicide rates have gone up, while the teenage population has started to go down. Teens have became depressed, because of the way our country acts. So no, I am not proud of my country. sometimes it has some good things, but also some bad things. For example, some good things include food pantries, good will, or any places that provide things for the poor or less fortunate, but the bad things list could go on forever. Our country is slowly starting to not care about anything anymore. They’re getting too lazy, and turning into people that we wouldn’t ever imagine.

Just For You To Know.

Have you ever lost a family member? If so, Just For You To Know by Cheryl Harness, is a book about heartbreak, happiness, and proof that you really can move on. If I was the girl in the story, I don’t know if I really could handle life, or if I would of just killed myself by the time her life started going bad.

The main characters name is Carmen. She is a ginger. If I was Carmen, I probably could of killed myself because of the pain. In my opinion, Carmens life is really hard. Probably even worse than mine. Well. I don’t know about that, but her life was pretty bad. The books setting was 1967, so there wasn’t many tools or much things that could be done back then.

Back then there were no cures or needles that had to be pierced into your skin to maybe heal you, back then the doctors were really dumb. In my opinion, I have no clue how anyone would find out how to cure someone, never the less make chemicals. I think that would be really hard.

If I ever lost a family member, I would be fine with it. Most of my family dosent even care about me, but I act fine at school, and everywhere with my friends, but if I was the girl in the story, I might as well would of just collapsed and killed myself, like I already said. But, I'm not the girl in the story, but if you were, would you kill yourself?

Life is hard. Love is worse.

Mika was running. Not to a specific place. Just running. Away from this place, and away from home. She could not take the awful comments and the pain of knowing her girlfriend would never come back to her. If you didn’t guess it already, Mika is a girl too. She's Bi-sexual. For months, ever sense they she and her friend got together and started dating, she didn’t know what love was. Her girlfriend Katie, dressed like a guy, and sounded like one too. People thought she was a guy.

That’s why Mika and Katie were so good together. They started dating on August 19th. They were set up by their two friends, and once they started dating, they trusted their friends not to tell anyone. Then, a week later, school started. 7th grade. Everything was going perfect, Mika and Katie were in love. They were so happy together. Until Mika started having people tell her, "I know you and Katie are dating." and "Oh yeah that’s her, she's gay." she brushed it off.

After a few months of school, they were still together, but the rumors got worse. Someone said that they saw them making out in the bathroom. Someone else said that they had sex. Mika would never go that far. Well, she would, but only for Katie. She loved her so much. Then, one day, Katie stopped talking to Mika. It was now January 27th. Mika was so confused. Katie wouldn’t even tell Mika why she stopped talking to her.

Days went by. Then weeks. Then months. Katie never even broke up with Mika. Why though? Why didn’t she break up with Mika right away instead of waiting? Mika thought she still had hope. By this time it was March 14th. Mika got a phone call from Katie. She was scared. Mika picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Mika.."
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"Yeah, I kind of am"
Mika hung up. She had heard enough. Katie had hit her and abused Mika for those two months that she didn’t talk to Mika. And now, Katie was gone.

Two months went by, and Mika had just about given up hope. She couldn’t take the pain of knowing that her only love was now gone. She ran away. She kept running. Until she got to a place that her and her girlfriend used to go. They called it their spot. She just sat there remembering the good times that they had there together. She walked back home in complete silence. Ignoring the phone calls from her mom. A couple days went by, and Mika was trying to act happy.

Then, she got a phone call. It was Katie. They just sat there, talking on the phone, it was May 11th, and also the happiest day of Mika life. Katie asked if she wanted to get back together with her. Mika said yes. They are now back together. It was May 19th when Katie, for the first time in a while, said I Love You. Today, it is May 20th, they are happily together, and hopefully will be for a long time.

Love

Love is a simple thing. Sometimes its complicated, and sometimes people cry. Sometimes people say that they were never worth it. That’s not true. Your always worth it no matter what. All girls and boys in this world will always mean something, its not like you have no point in this world. That’s not true. Everyone has a purpose, they just need to find it.

Mary's life.

They were coming, But.. Why? Mary thought she had shaken them when she ran threw the woods. Guess not. Ahead of her, she saw her little tree house. She ran straight for it. She climbed up the ladder and collapsed onto the wood floor and shut the entrance panel in a panic behind her. Mary was exhausted. She couldn’t take another step. Hoping that she lost the men, she laid on the floor. When all of a sudden.. *BANG* *BANG* *CRASH*

Mary screamed. As she looked around, she realized she was back in her bed. It was just another night mare. She has been having the weirdest nightmares lately. She was too scared to leave the "house". After all, she was an orphan. What if the police saw her and asked where her parents were? What would she say? She did not want to go live with a "Foster" family. She was too scared. She didn’t want to go live with strangers. She was completely capable of taking care of herself.

Marys parents were killed in a nuclear explosion. Of course, everyone in the whole building died. No one knew that they had a 9 year old daughter named Mary. Nor did they know that she was at school. When she got home that day, on the news, there was a list of names of people that had died in an explosion. "MELODY J TRUMAN; RICHARD S TRUMAN" danced across the screen. She couldn’t believe what she saw. She was devastated. God killed both of her parents. What was she to do?

Now Mary is 15, living off of the apple tree near her, and living in her tree house that she found when she was 7. She drank out of the pond that she lived by. Her location? The woods. She had a job, and a wonderful boyfriend. He didn’t know anything about Mary. All he knew was that he loved her. She was off to work now. Off to see her boyfriend, off to the same old routine, again and again.

Nothing Lasts Forever.

Authors note: This is a creative piece that I wrote, Explaining whats happened in my life.

Remember when you said you didn't want to hurt me,
When you said you'd never let me go.

Remember when you said you'd always love me,
Well, nothing lasts forever.

It started at the end of summer,
That was when I fell for you.



We were so happy together,
I never wanted it to end.

You showed me what love was,
I never knew it felt that way.

I remember the day you kissed me,
I was shocked anyone would want to.

I thought we could last forever,
I guess that wasn't true.

The months past,
and I knew it was getting closer.

You stopped talking to me,
I was so confused.

You held me over for months,
I was sure there was another.

I was put threw hell for what seemed like forever,
I knew I should of broke up with you.

The only reason I did not,
Is because I thought there was hope.


Yet I always think,
Maybe I could of saved us.


Then one day,
I saw my phone ringing..
I knew it was you.

I knew it was the call,
I knew this was it.

That was it, It was over,
I lost my mind that night.

Then as the morning arose,
I was no where in sight.

Mom worried,
Dad called the cops.

My parents looked everywhere,
I was no where to be found.

I wasn't dead,
Oh no, I was not.

Where I was,
Was a place only I knew.

Only a place,
WE, knew.

I didn't go to cry,
Just to remember,

If it doesn't hurt,
It's not love.

Ja ne mogu ostaviti bez govoreći ja te volim,
Tako volim te i zbogom.

Found

Do you ever get strange letter in the mail? If you did it probably didn’t lead to what happens in this book. Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This is a book that offers you to try and help solve a mystery. Well, you don’t exactly have to solve a mystery, but your brain kind of makes you want to. If I was the main character in this book, I would of never seen it coming.

Found is all about a normal boy who gets a letter in the mail one day. Actually, he’s not normal, he was adopted, but he didn’t know that. After he gets the first letter he continuously gets more. He eventually gets an invite to a place. He dosent know why though. Later he finds out that he is one of the adopted..

I think this book was really well written. It had very good details and many descriptive words. One thing I would of improved if I would of written this book is I would of made it way more interesting. I would of added murder scenes and some killing, but that’s just me.

The reason I would add all that stuff in is because I didn’t think this book was all that interesting. It was like you could predict what was going happen next. No, you COULD predict what was going to happen next. This book was predictable. I hate it when I read books like that. Sometimes, I just wonder what the authors are thinking.

A fun thing in my childhood.

A fun thing I used to do when I was little was go over to my grandma and grandpas every weekend. In the summer I would do it even more often. When I got there me and my grandpa would go places. everywhere! We went to the beach, we went to the chocolate factory, we even went to where he works! Hes a janitor at a school. I got to go inside the gym and play with basketballs and I even got free milk from there. I don't go over anymore because my uncle still lives with my grandpa and hes crazy. He tried to kill my dad with a gun. If that wouldn't of happened maybe I would still be going over there every weekend.

No one really knows why they wanted to kill my dad. They as in My grandma, My uncle, and the rest of my moms side of the family. They all think that my dad is making my mom his slave and hes torturing her. The thing is.. that's not what happened at all. my mom is lucky to have my dad. If it wasn't for him my mom would probably be dead right now. He saved my moms life. And when shes not on medication she goes a little crazy..

The reason I say she goes a little crazy is because one time she stopped taking the pills without telling my dad and then my dad G.P.S. located her and he doesn't know if she was cheating on him or what. My dad didn't make my mom like this, my grandma did. My moms mom made her crazy and shes blaming my dad. My family isn't normal, but I suppose we dont have the worst time surviving in this world.

Twilight

Do you like vampires or action? If you do then you’ll probably like this book. Twilight By Stephenie Meyer is a really good book. Twilight is a series that Stephenie Meyer wrote. So its not just one book. This book is pretty long and I would recommend it to more experienced readers. Vampires and humans may be the same, but on the inside they are much different.
The reason I say they are the same but much different is because on the outside, they all look normal. On the inside though, vampires don’t eat. They drink blood. All of them are different. Sometimes they don’t eat for months at a time. Humans however have to eat everyday. I think that’s just not normal. I’m pretty sure vampires aren’t real.

The reason I say I think vampires aren’t real is because wouldn’t we know if they were? Wouldn’t there be a lot of missing people with teeth marks on the sides of their necks? Who knows. This book could be nothing like real vampires are. In this book a human falls in love with a vampire, this could be true in real life too.

This book relates to me. Not knowing if I’m in love or not. Or if they’re the right one for me. If you read the second book, New Moon, then you’ll know more about what I’m talking about. I wont give that information away though. This book is kind of confusing. I wish they would of wrote it more clearly.

Girls vs. Boys

The question is why do guys think they're better than girls? i don't really know why i think they're just concited. if you don't know what that means it means you think that your better than everyone. Boys tend to be that way. i don't think that fair.. don't girls deserve credit too?

Willow.

Are you depressed? If you are you could probably relate to this book. Willow By Julia Hoban. In my opinion this book is the best one I've ever read. It talks about how shes emo. If you don’t know what emo is, it's when you cut yourself or are depressed all the time. This tremendous book, may be the best one you’ve ever read.

The reason I say it could be the best one you’ve ever read is because it could just relate to you. The characters. There are many. Happy, sad, mad, and one who cuts herself. This book is full of things that you could think were disgusting, but remember, someone out in the world does this. Would you be sad if someone you knew did this?

I would be. Its pretty sad knowing that someone your really close to and you love could cut themselves, and die. Or be suicidal. That’s killing yourself because you wanted to or were too scared or were depressed. For most people its because they were depressed. That’s how they end their pain.

The girl in the book goes threw all of that. One night she went out to dinner with her parents. They drank a little too much and asked Willow to drive them home. What happened was farthest from their minds. Willow lost control of the car and now both her parents are dead. She could never forget the sight of her fathers blood in her hair.

Now she lives with her brother and has no other choice. Her life changed all in one day. Now the only way she hides the pain is cutting herself. Her brother never speaks of the day. The incident, or anything about their parents. No one knows if willow will ever stop. No one knows that she cuts. At all.

Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy

I read the book "Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy" by Ally Carter. It’s a book about an all girls spy school called the Gallahger academy. There's a twist in this book though. The all girls school turns into a boys AND girls school. All the girls are surprised. Then there's a school dance. If you like spy books, this is a really good book for you.

I should really tell you the main characters name first. Her names Cammie, also known as the Chamelion or Cam. She is almost never seen. Except by her ex-boyfriend named Josh. This Is the second book. In the first book she went out and dated a boy from the real world. I really recommend that you read the first book first though. So It makes more sense.

Sometimes in this book I think it makes no sense at all. Like it gets totally off topic and sometimes you may have no idea what's going on at all. I wish they would of written this book so it was less confusing. In my opinion, this was a really good book about.

This book might just relate to you, with the relationship problems and all. You never know. I recommend this book for people who can really concentrate and keep their focus. It’s a pretty good level book. If your ever having trouble with relationships, just remember your not alone.

Authors note: This is what happens when you pass a story around the classroom. The whole class helped me write this. A stalker is stalking these kids. Then he ends up in the rockies, Then on Jersey Shore? Read to find out more.
There were screams coming from everywhere, as me and my friend dashed to the basement we heard something following us. As we turned around the figure we saw was unimaginable. He had long green hair with frightening yellow eyes, but his heart was big and nice. Yet, everyone was still screaming but me because he looked nice in a way. As my friends pulled me away i convinced them that we should see if he is as nice as he seems. We came closer and he looked like a 40 year old stalker. We screamed and ran away as he started to follow us. We picked up a newspaper and found his name, "STALKER, WANTED. $50,000." He was scared, so he became a hobo. He was so fat. A week later I saw an article in the newspaper that he had just been seen in Canada. He was apparently in the Rockies. He tried calling for help, but no one answered him. After he thought he saw something move into the bushes. He went to check it out, but apparently it was just a mouse. The weirdest thing he thought snow was yogurt, so he got even fatter. He then moved to New Jersey to jump on 'Jersey Shore' and go party with Mike the situation, and Pauly and Vinnie. So Michael Jackson ate a cheeseburger... It had all of the great toppings, and he wanted more, more, more, and more, more, more, and then nothing. No more, no nothing, and guitar solo, I totally bombed it. But Snooki is still the best.

Danger.

Deep Water

In my opinion, the deep water was a great story! He was very descriptive. I loved how at the end he said he wasn’t afraid of swimming anymore. If I was him, I'd still be afraid of swimming, but I'm glad he conquered his fear. This story relates to me, except the part where he locked up in the water and couldn’t move.

As I said, the story relates to me. When I was little (maybe six or seven? ) I went swimming at the Kalahari. Well it was my second time there and I wanted to go down the big slide. Half way down the slide I realized that I couldn’t swim. It was 4 feet deep. (I was only about 3 1/2 feet tall) I started panicking half way down and I had to be saved by a lifeguard once I hit the bottom.

To this day I still cant swim. Once I was able to float on my back, that’s as far as I've ever gotten. I've also been able to doggy paddle and go to the bottom of the water and crawl along the bottom. Some of my friends say I act like a dolphin because I twirl under the water when I go along the floor of the pool/lake.


My point here is that even if your afraid of drowning or of the water, you should give it a chance. You wont know anything if you don’t ever try. That’s exacitaly whart the guy from this story did. He took A chance and got into the water. Maybe its his favorite thing to do now. Or maybe its his least favoirite, I don’t know but you should always take a chance and go for it.

The pearl Essay Response

I thought the pearl was a pretty good book. The authors name is John Steinbeck. I liked the book because I love reading tragedy's. I love it because for some reason I don’t like happy endings or happy books. This was the perfect type of book for me. It would have been better if the author would of maybe made some more people die too. I know that sounds harsh but that’s the kind of person I am.

I realized that when I was reading that when they found the pear something bad was going to happen. Almost no book goes to the middle without something bad or interesting happening. That’s when I realized when they found the pearl something bad would probably happen. I was right.

One of the things I was right about was that something bad would happen. The first bad thing that happened was when they found the pearl and then the shop keeper people said that the pearl was useless, but then they tried to steal it, so then Kino knew that they only said that it was worthless because of that fact he was Native American. This book was really written to be a tragedy.

The only thing Kino wanted was for his son to grow up and have an education, but that wasn’t possible because all the people were judging him by the color of his skin. First the doctor wouldn’t treat the baby because he only treats white rich people. Then he does because then they find the pearl? Isn't that racist? I think so.

The last thing that happened is when the pearl buyers tried to steal the pearl, Kino, Juana and Kyotito had to run for it. When they did so, in the end the baby, (Kyotito) got shot in the head and was left in the cave. Kino and Juana acted like they were strong and didn’t even care that they're only child was now gone forever. I bet that they were both dying inside.

Chapter 3 - The Pearl

I think she thinks it will destroy them because if they buy something, and the other one doesn't like it then they will get in a big fight, and then they will split apart and never get married. An example is; if Kino buys something that costs a lot of money and Juana gets mad, and Kino doesn't care she could split up with him, then there would be no wedding. I don’t know if Kino would care, but then realize what he lost.

The pearl

So far what I think of this book is it was boring at the beginning, but now its getting kind of interesting. I like that the baby didn’t die and that they found a pearl so they have money. If they didn’t have anything I was getting worried something or someone would die in the beginning of this book. I'm kind of mad that the doctors a racist but we can't change that. Now that they have money he's going to treat their baby? He only treats rich people and white ones? Its sad that they're Indians. Because aperentally if they were white then they would be treated. (and rich.)
