I am a Writer Who....

I am a Writer Who 
makes things fun and interesting.
Makes the audience keep reading,
Not to stop being confused but
Because the mind grabbing words and ideas.
The setting and actions pop up into your mind while reading.
You want to know what will happen next, and 
You cant stop reading. 
You feel as if i'm telling you the story, 
Face to face.
The reader reads and reads and then
They're hooked. 
Feelings good and bad begin to emerge. 
Then you read the last sentence and 
Realize you're done.

Free post: Football

This has been a fun year so far entering a new school, and Football has been one of my favorite parts. I've been playing football ever since I was 5 and I've always been told and thought i was good at it. So, being able to play football in high school is a great opportunity. I've got to knowing everyone on the team and its a lot of fun practicing and playing with those guys. Although, i'm not able to participate in the best part of high school football, playing on Friday Nights, I get to play on Mondays.

JV hasn't been too bad though, we are 3-0, undefeated, and we have a good team thats getting better everyday. Through 3 games I have 4 touchdowns, and about 400 yards, which is great. Monday we had a comeback game it really showed that we were players that don't back down to any challenge. All of or games have been away so far, but Monday its home and we play or rival,u -high, and i cant wait. Lets go Knights.

The Wave is getting out of control, kids are fighting, they are having rallies for it, it's starting all kinds of problems, who's going to stop it. The Wave started off with a class of just about 25 and now it has spread all through the high school. Students are recruiting other students to join, but not in a good way, if a student doesn't Join or doesn't want to, they are getting bullied about not joining, and kids are being beat up if they criticize The Wave in any way. Why has it turned into this, parents are worrying about their kids dealing with The Wave, because they are having dramatic change and they don't think they are healthy. Students that were shy and independent are not apart of something that labels all people equal, but that seems to be the only good part. Students are doing things that they believe are orders and responsibilities of The Wave, but they never were. The Wave is about to be a disaster, and if no one stops it now, it's going to be a lot harder later on.                                         Reading : pgs. 65-125

Narrative: The Bet I Regret

It was the beginning of my 5th grade year, last year of elementary school. I stepped into Mrs. Creel's 5th grade gifted class, thinking that this was going to be a great year, and I was going to make the most of it. All my bestfriends since third grade were in the same class as me, and we established that we were going to learn and have fun this year. We came up and created different challenges and bets that we were going to try to beat eachother at. " Tj and Dedrick, I bet I will have more A.R. points than both of ya'll," annonced Ellis. "Nah, I'm goingg to have the most A.R. points and we all know it," I followed. A.R. points were a system where you read books and took test to get points. Dedrick just sat there and listened to me and Ellis argue about who was going to have the most points, then all of a sudden, " Won't you two just shutup !! How about we just see at the end of the school year who had the most points."

"The Nazis were horrible people, how did they torture and kill people like that. I would love to study  Nazis and try to find out why they did such things." My thoughts as Mr. Ross's class as they talked about World War 2, why couldn't my history class be as interesting as his. They are having so much fun in class."Class, I would like to introduce something we will be doing to help our understanding of world war 2," annouced Mr. Ross. The Wave seemed so interesting to be apart of, it showed unity and be apart of something of that sort would be great. But, how far will it go, The Wave is getting out of control, people are starting to argue and fight over a simple act in History class, that has been taken too far. Why are they have disagreements over something that was an act about a program that represented strength and community. Mr. Ross needs to stop the wave, while reading this book a lot of things popped up into my head, wondering why these problems are occurring, this was supposed to be something constructive. These students are out of control and it doesn't make any sense, The Wave was getting out. Of control, what will happen next.                                                                            Book:The Wave, pages 0 : 65 

Comment Response

To Nicholas Dragon: Yes it was a scary moment at once, but the storm wasn't too bad for me, it was just a lot of rain and strong winds. But I'm so happy it wasn't worse, but it was for some people. I wouldn't call myself brave that night, I would call those people in LaPlace brave because they got the worst of it. To see your house be destroyed and all your things be destroyed is horrible, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Now they have to start all over, I just thank god.    To Dr. D: Nation has been an interesting book and you to have complete focus to understand it. Writing blogs helps me keep focus and recap the part of the book I have read. Your comments on my post have told me to get even deeper into my thoughts and feelings about the reading, and I plan and will try to think more about my thoughts while reading the book.

       Will he make it alive will he die on the way. While reading the beginning of Nation, a lot of different thoughts came up in my mind. From how did the boys before Mau know what to do before they go off on the trip to will Mau survive. I was fascinated in the idea that every boy knew what to do, so they can prepare for their trip. They went to the same tree and found the same tool.
       Will Mau make it, will he die on the way. Or will he run and go back to his island, instead of continuing his trip to become a man. While reading this part of the book, a lot of different ideas popped into my mind,  I tried to imagine Mau's situation and ot was very interesting and had a lot of suspense, I plan on reading farther into the book.
Due Sept. 4th. Eagle Eye 0 to chapter 3, Approx. 30 pages.  Nation approx. 25 pages.

Hurricane Experience

         The hurricane wasn't bad at all for me and my family and I was very happy, our power didnt go out, and our dogs were fine. The most memorable moment of the hurricane was Thursday night. It was about eleven o'clock at night, I was laying up in bed and I  couldn't go to sleep. Then all of a sudden I heard a howl outside the window.  The wind was blowing so hard, it sounded as if someone was singing opera outside my window.
     It was very dark outside and the wind was  blowing hard, this was the only moment during the hurricane that I was nervous about the power going off, i was so worried. Then was blowing hard non-stop for ten minutes, then as soon as it stopped the rain came.
