The Blaze

Walking… cold brisk night, wind blowing upon my skin tingling my senses into thinking DANGER.  There's only one explanation for danger, the blaze is seeking for its prey.  The blaze isn't an actual "thing", it’s a person.  Six foot tall, buff, Blaze is coming for a scare!  I think to myself, what makes Blaze all that scary?  The fact that he's wearing an Michael Meyers costume on Halloween night, and attacking the teenagers sitting around the campfire.  Of coarse he's friendly, but when you make him mad, there's always a price to pay.  On Friday, October 26th, the night of the school's Halloween Dance, Playoff football game, and a bonfire, everyone is decked out with there amazing Halloween costumes. Blaze is different, he is outrageously covered with cloth wearing an rubber mask, out to get anyone that comes near.

George Washington


Authors Note: I wrote about George Washington and how his rights should still be around now days.

If I could talk to George Washington I would tell him that chopping down Cherrie trees is not right.  Because I love cherries and George is kind of crazy.  I think that since he got his face on the one dollar bill he is special to America and the people in it.  There are billions of one dollar bills that represent him it the world right now.

When I think about George being the United states of America's first president  I think of how much has changed and how it will never be the same. The taxes have raised and the economy is horrid.  Gas prices are going up and people are losing their houses because of Obama care. 

But I bet he wouldn’t  know what Obama care is.  It’s just Obama making up outrageous  rules.  I wish that life was like the days when George Washington  were our president because he made the right choices.

 As part of his belief that our nation should practice honesty, he urged that our Government always be honorable in money matters. He urged our country to borrow as little money as necessary and to avoid piling up a big debt.  He realized that emergencies, such as unavoidable wars, would require us to borrow from time to time; but he urged that these debts be paid off as rapidly as possible.

There for we need him back in the spot for our president.  Even though he passed away centuries ago people in America will never forget George Washington as our first president. He made things right and didn’t cause much hassle. We need somebody to take charge of this country! There for, I choose George!

cause and effect

Authors note: I wrote an cause and effect piece on Touching Spirit bear.

There are a lot of events that lead up to effects that cause any major effect on many characters in the book Touching Spirit Bear.  The main character, Cole, he causes many problems and usually other people need to fix them.  Sometimes to fix these problems it will take a lot of hard work, for instance when Cole decides to beat up this kid that goes to his school, Peter.  He has no reason this cause will lead him into getting in trouble at school and the police getting notified,  It affects many other people like Peter’s family.

Cole Is one of the main characters and i think that His role is to be a bad boy.  a punk.  Cole likes to beat up other people and I think that that is not acceptable because some people don’t deserve it. But without Cole this story would be useless Because cole plays the role that causes bad things to happen, and give them an effect.


Therefore Cole beating up Peter causes him to get into trouble, and the effect on him doing that is being sent to the island. And wen Cole searched for the Spirit bear he got beat up by the spirit bear. All of this happened just because Cole beat up Peter.

http://saraa2222.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/among-the-hidden.jpg

Among The Hidden is a very surprising, funny, and amazing  book. I think that it shows fear and strength with every chapter.  I recommend this book to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.  This book will show you such a new point In life.  Its about an boy that finds a new point in life and I think it is very good.  A boy named Luke takes a new risk in life.  This is breath taking and everyone should read it and experiences a change.

Baby cousin

Authors Note: I'm writing about the time my cousin was born and how it effects me.

I was always used to having all the attention in my family, being the youngest kid and only girl.  I was only 5 years old when my cousin, Erin was born.  She was breathtaking, but she stole all the attention away from me. 
I always love going to hospitals nowadays but back then I always thought ewe. I never enjoyed the smell of the latex.  I feel that when I’m in a hospital I’m going to get sick.

We enter the room where she was born,  I look at my aunt, covered in sweat sitting in hideous hospital clothes.  She greets us and says look at the baby!  One thing where is the baby?  I wondered, She pointed over to a container with bright lights on it I looked and I was amazed.

There for I was excited finally another girl instead of me!  She gets annoying now days but I got used to it and every moment I’m with her I make it special for her.  She looks up to me so I want to be a good remodel.

I loved my cousin, finally having another girl in my whole family that I could get to play dress up and play dolls with.  It makes perfect sense to be jealous because the attention will be stolen from yourself but I was kind of okay with it.  She was a beautiful baby. Now she is 7 and I still love spending time with her.



Zumbro


Refreshing  water, blue sky's, and  the smell of outdoors, make me feel comforted and relaxed.  I have experienced life like this in only one place in the world, The Zumbro River.  My family has relatives in southern Minnesota, near Rochester.  We usually spend about four to five days relaxing in Minnesota, one out of those five days my brothers and cousins all go down to the river on golf carts, we bring tubes and raffs.  As soon as we usually get there we jump right in to the cold fresh water.

  My memories of modeling on a rock are refreshed every time I visit the river.  Well were at the river we take place in log races where we sit on logs and all race downstream and first one to pass the old wooden bridge wins. I usually lost because I am the youngest but my siblings would always make me feel better by making me flower crowns and pronouncing me their princess.  

There for when I was the princess my siblings would pull me around in a raft.  I would lay down and hear the sound of the dog jumping in the river, and my cousins trying to get a ragged old ball from the sweet soggy puppy.  My mom, grandma, and aunt would all be sitting on the bench enjoying a cool refreshment and having a good time.

My memories of tanning, modeling, swimming, and being forever young will always last at the Zumbro.   I cant wait until next when I bring a couple of my friends, and I can tell them all about my old memories so we can carry them on to our children someday.  The Zumbro will always be someplace in my heart.

Conflict and resolution


Touching Spirit bear shows so much conflicts on the main character Cole.  He is a bad boy and never wants to be proven wrong.  He likes to beat up other innocent kids just to let his stress out.   When you have stress it kinda makes you feel like you need to release it and that's what Cole needs to do.  But i think its wrong for him to punish other kids that don't deserve it.

I think that if he went to a counselor his stress would be released.  It will also help the children that are hurt by him every time he doesn’t get his way.  But he cant go to a counselor because he's been running from the law ever since he was little. Therefor that makes him mysterious but we can fix that by getting him in a safe place were he is not endangered.
