Halloween Hauntings

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Its the time where you get candy, where your costume, and do nothing in school. Halloween is also a time when you get scared by all the scary stories. When i go trick - or - treating with my friends, i feel like I'm in Halloween Town. All the kids dressed up as scary monsters, or beutifull faries prancing around. I have a awesome neighbor that puts a haunted house up every year and all of my friends come and we all gget trick or treating around the block. This year my new record is to fill up my whole pillow case. Last year, alot of people just left candy at there door step, so just took all of it. The biggest problem of all is getting a costume. Oh boy, life lesson..... get one way before halloween. If you don't follow that idea, i'd like to see that smile oin your face the day of halloween

Staire Things in my Life

THE EIGHTH GRADERS. Oh boy! COME ON!! GO faster!!! Then we say what ever mom! The first day you go to middle school and your like yay!!! Then you get on the bus, this is not what i thought it would be. Its like a jungle. When you were in elementry school, you ruled the school in fifth grade. Sorry to break it to you honey, the eighth graders rule all the students in the school, the seventh graders rue you and the only thing you rule is the toilet.

Patriotism Always Matters

                       Patriotism Always Matters

I have a question for you. Does patriotism still matter? Of course it does! Patriotism is a time where you honor the soldiers and veterans that fight for our country. When the red and white stripes on the American Flag, or the white stars that symbolizes each and every one of our states can be honored in so many different ways.  Have you ever taken the time to just think, that so many soldiers have died just for our country? These brave soldiers are more than just people, they’re heroes.

You should be grateful that these people are risking their lives for you. I’m grateful that we Americans get freedom of speech. I’m grateful that we are safe and secure. When you say the pledge of allegiance do you mean it? “One nation under god.” Are we really one nation? Oh yes we are! I’m proud to be an American. When American soldiers are on that battlefield, I hope that do their 100% best. They have 50% courage, 50% pride, and 100% strength.

We have the freedom. Why not use it? Take advantage of it! When we go to school, we should try our best in everything we do. If we try our hardest, there is no doubt that we won’t succeed. Everyone is encouraged to score high.  I know my parents encourage me to try my hardest and do well.   I also know that us Americans are not going to give up. I know that these soldiers out there right now are not giving up. They have put in a lot of effort and hard work in to their lives. When they walk on that battle field, they don’t just give up because it’s too hot outside. They push there selves and that is what we should do to.

Every time it’s Veterans Day, you should think about how hard these soldiers work. Pride, courage, bravery, and strength. Those four things are not just given to you. You have to earn them. So, the next time you pass by the American Flag, or a soldier, think, does patriotism still matter?

My Point of View

In Ralph Fletchers story, he wrote about his childhood. He gave little stories about his childhood. A childhood memory.

In "First pen" Ralph Fletcher tell about a pen that he loved. It was a childhood memorie that was never forgotten. A particular sentence that stuck out was " What words are hidden - unborn, unwritten - in all that used ink." ( Fletcher , 2005, page 44) That sentence really caught my eye. It leaves you with a feeling you can not put into words. It leaves you with....... That mysterious feeling in you.

A story that leaves you witha very emotional feeling is  "Bobby." Bobby is a short story about a little boy who dies when he is in high school. This sentence leaves you with a said feeling that if the event happened to you, you would deffinitly feel the same way. "Not a day goes by that i don't miss him." (Fletcher, 2005, page 60)

The last sentence that i am going to talk about is also a emotional feeling. A feeling that leaves you sad feeling, but happy feeling too. " my father and i had drifted away from each other." (Fletcher, 2005, page 84)  This sentence is a very good ending sentence. It ties into the whole story of "Last Kiss."

                

My Favorite Doll

When i was 5 years old, i got the best gift EVER!!!! It was a little baby doll that looked just like me. Well, now its head is half open and there's tatoo's all over it but its ok. Well, back to the topic, i loved that doll. My neighbor and i used to pretend it was our own little baby and we used to carry it around in a carriage and give it baths,like you would do to a real baby  . The baby had to have a diaper too, because right after you give to baby water, it comes right back out! I still have that baby( a baby with no name tehe ) and i hope to have it for the rest of my life. I would pass it down to my child, and your child would pass it down to his/her child but, i dont think my child would want a baby that look like a Halloween ornament.
