Authors Note: This is a comparative essay between On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor and April Morning. This is to help with my organization, sentence fluency and my conclusion score.
Many novels have the theme of choices that the main characters have to make. In April Morning by Howard Fast and On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor the main characters have to make big decisions. Some similarities that both of these novels have is that the main character(s) have to make choices that could get themselves killed while they are doing it. In April Morning Adam signs up to go into war, that could easily get him killed, and in On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor Adien and Meg have to go across the country to save their parents. There are many similarities in these two novels.
Fist of all both novels have the main character make choices that could kill/injure them very badly. In the novel April Morning Adam is tired of his dad telling him what to do and if he does it his dad thinks that he could do better. The way Adam sees his dad is mean so he goes to sign up for war. That could easily get him killed. But with On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor Adien and Meg’s parents get arrested for a crime that they didn’t do. They are put in prison on the other side of the country and Adien and Meg want to break them out. They travel across the country which could kill them because they are trying to get away from the police too.
Secondly they are also very different. April Morning is in the year 1775 and he is going into war. In with On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor Adien and Meg are younger than Adam from April Morning and the time period is in the 2000’s. These books may have the same theme of choices but they are very different because of the time periods and what really happens to the main characters per novel. If On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor was back in 1775 the choice that they made wouldn’t be so hard on them. And if April Morning was in modern time the military wouldn’t let him into war even if he lied about his age. They have to go through training that he probably couldn’t pass.
And lastly they make these choices to help something or somebody. In On The Run 2: The Fugitive Factor they go across the country to save somebody that they care deeply about because they are their parents. And in April Morning Adam wants to prove to his dad that he can do something and his dad won’t be disappointed. Adam also is doing this because he wants to help his country so he chose to go into war to both prove his dad wrong and help his country.
In conclusion even though these books are very different with the characters, time period and what they are trying to save they both fit in with the theme of choices. Although there choices are different they are quite the same for the reason that they are trying to help either some somebody or something. There are other novels that share the theme of choices but I thought that this was a very good choice for this.

The Sign Up...
Authors Note: This is a cause and effect essay about the novel April Morning that will help my score with the cause and effect section for the text structure.
In April Morning, by Howard Fast is about Adam who is a young 15 year old boy that is tired of getting told what to do from his father. Finally Adam gives up with what his father has to say and goes to sign up for the military to go and fight against the Red Coasts. When he goes to sign up he sees his father, Adam thought that he would get in major trouble from him, but his dad let him sign up. Adam was surprised that his dad would let him go ahead and sign this. Before Adams father was a mean man to Adam because he thought that Adam couldn’t do anything, that he wasn’t good enough for anything, so that is why Adam went to sign up. To prove his father wrong, that he is good enough and that he can do something in his life.
The thing that made Adam want to go into war was his father. His father was always putting him down and Adam was sick of it. Adam wanted to sign up for the committee but his dad said no because he didn’t think that he was man enough. If Adams father would have been a little nicer to Adam maybe he wouldn’t have wanted to sign up for war. The climax to this novel is Adam signing up for war. The effects to this are that he will have to leave his family and the girl that he really likes, Ruth Simmons. If Adam were to go into the war he would have to leave everything behind and he could die in war. Because of his dad, Adam wants to leave and go into the war.

The Committee
Authors Note: This POV essay is to tell a scene from the book April Morning from somebody else’s point of view.
In April Morning Adam is a young boy and the story is told in his point of view. From how he see’s everything is in a mad and a The scene where his father is going to the committee and Adam wants to go but his dad asks him: “Are you a man now, Adam?” Adam replies, “I’m tall, I’m strong and I’m only nine months away from my sixteenth birthday.” His dad says back, “The proof of a man is the will to work and the ability to use his mind and his judgment. Can you offer that proof, Adam?” Adam only stared at his dad. But his dad says, “Talk to me when you can, Adam.”(All on pages 22-23)
In the point of view of his dad in the scene would be a lot different than what Adam thought. Adam thought that he was mad that everything that he tries to do his dad won’t let him but he was also starting to get mad not only at his dad but his whole family because he has the temper span of a bomb with a short fuse. But what his dad felt was much different, in his dad’s point of view he was probably wondering if Adam could truly be a man and get into the committee. In his dads mind he was thinking that he knew Adam wasn’t a man and he would probably mess it up if he went.
For Adam he has a family that makes him mad all the time and he has a family that he thinks could care less about him. Adam doesn’t like how anybody in his family doesn’t love him. But in his dad’s point of view he is just trying to make him a man and he does love Adam but he doesn’t show it. Adam wants to join the army but he knows that you have to be 16, his dad knows that too. But his dad does think that he could be ready but Adam doesn’t choose to show that he is ready and he can show proof that he is a man.

Dynamic Character- Ponyboy
“This is an essay about why I believe that Ponyboy is a Dynamic Character with my reasons why I think so”
What would you do if you were a person who could do no wrong until you were about to drown and your best friend stabbed the person drowning you? Ponyboy was an innocent person until the murder. Ponyboy is a dynamic character because he loses his innocence but re-gains it, he changes the way that people look at Greasers, and he becomes a hero towards the end. Because of all of the things that Ponyboy has done is why he is a dynamic character.
Ponyboy was always a normal Greaser but, he was nicer than most of the other Greasers, he wouldn’t hurt anything if he didn’t have to. He isn’t a person that would trash talk people to get them mad even if they weren’t a Greaser. Ponyboy is a nice kid, he wouldn’t hurt a fly, but, he is a Greaser because, when his mom and dad died in a car crash he had nothing left besides his two brothers Darry and Sodapop and the Greasers. But when Ponyboy and Jonny were at the park some drunken Soc’s came and started to drown Ponyboy; Jonny stabbed the leader of the Soc’s, Bob. When Bob dropped to the ground dead the other Soc’s fled the park and Ponyboy and Jonny were sick from killing Bob. Afterword they ran away and went to an abandoned church to live in. After a while the church set on fire when there were some children in there, Ponyboy and Jonny went in there and saved the children but Jonny got burned really badly.
Ponyboy is a dynamic character because he becomes a hero in the end. He is a hero because he saved the kids from the burning church instead of letting them burn to death, he risked his life to save them. Although he becomes a hero from this his best friend gets injured very badly from it. When they are in the hospital with Jonny; Jonny tells his mom to leave because he thinks that she doesn’t care one bit about him. The only people that he wants with him when he is in the hospital are the Greasers. The last words that Jonny says before he passes away are, “Stay gold Ponyboy.” By saving the kids from the burning church makes Ponyboy both a hero and he loses somebody that he cares about.
Ponyboy truly does a lot in this book, he also changes the way that people would look at the Greasers. Normally people look at the Greasers like bad people who wouldn’t do anything to help anybody but themselves. “Soc’s will be Soc’s and Greaser’s will be Greaser’s,” thus meaning that not everybody will look at them differently but some will. Some will look at them different because when he saved the kids from the church people heard about it and thought Greasers aren’t people who only care about the Greasers.
This is how Ponyboy is a dynamic character. From losing his innocence to changing the way people look at the Greasers he has done it all. If Ponyboy hadn’t done all of these things he wouldn’t be a dynamic character. Ponyboy is a person that wouldn’t hurt anything without a reason. Ponyboy wouldn’t and couldn’t be a person that wouldn’t have saved the kids from the church or a person to do anything that he did do.

Stereotypes The Outsiders
“This is a 3 paragraph essay about the stereotypical parts in The Outsiders”
How would you feel if you hung out with a certain group of people and because of what one person has done you are all accused of being bad people who do bad things? This is what happens to the Greasers in The Outsiders. If there was only one person who used to be in a gang in N.Y. and they got arrested at the young age of 10 would you feel okay of being considered a bad person. Dally of The Outsiders is the main part of the stereotypical reasons towards the Greasers
The stereotypes that happen in this book are towards the Greasers because they are looked at by other people like bad people who will only do bad things. People will believe that the Greasers only care about themselves and nobody else, but, Ponyboy and Jonny proved them wrong when they saved the kids from the burning church. People think that they are really bad because Jonny stabbed and killed Bob but after that they ran away and lived in a church and then saved the kids.
This is why The Outsider is full of stereotypes. Some are more than others but I believe that this is the most important one in the book. The Outsider is a great book full of stereotypes and action. This book is great for stereotypes and for family and character development of everybody in it. This book is chock full of stereotypes.

Prediction to Chapter 7
I think that in chapter 7 Ponyboy and Jonny will have nowhere else to go because the church burned down and then they will have no choice but to go back home. I also think that they will go back because they might have gotten in the paper for the murder but they might also be in the paper because they saved the kids from the burning church. If they go back and they are in the paper and people know about them saving the kids they might not have to turn themselves in. I believe that if they go back they won’t have to go to jail for the murder but they will stay and everything will go back to how it was.

Am I Proud of My Country?
Yes I am proud of my country, because we are a country that is free and a country that is independent. We are a country that can and will fight and a country that treats others with respect. Other than the ones that we are in war with. I am proud of my country because we stand tall over all.
First of all our Country has voluntary people who will join the military, police force, fireman force etc. Other countries might not have this. I am thankful of living in America. Because our country has a hard working fire department, police force, and I am thankful of all of the soldiers that we have that risk their lives to go out and keep our country free. If we weren’t a free country I don't know what our country would be like. I wouldn’t want to wonder what it would be if we weren’t free.
Second another reason why I am proud of my country is because of all of the job opportunities, though some are really hard to get because of unemployment. All of the jobs are more outgoing more than other countries such as Afghanistan how they are told what there job is. America is what I think as the perfect country. America is a country that can be and will be free for ever (I hope).
And lastly I am proud because of the 2nd amendment. If we didn't have this some people would find this country boring. If we didn't have the right to bear arms than some people wouldn’t have the fun in the sport that they are into knows. With the second amendment, there is now a law called the Consoled Carry law. This means that you have the right to leave your house with a gun that is in a case, unloaded, and safety on. This will hopefully make people think twice about robbing somebody or something, because they will have a gun to protect themselves.
These are some reasons why I am proud of my country. If the U.S.A. stays how it is, than I will be and I will stay happy. The U.S.A. is an amazing country and we will stay free. We have rights and we don't have to be told what we have to do. We can choose how our life is. We are an amazing country because of all of these things.

Is Paintball a Sport?
This is an essay to persuade people to believe that Paintball truly is a sport.
Is paintball a sport? There are people who think that it is and people who think that it isn’t. There are many reasons why Paintball is a sport but there are some reasons why people wouldn’t think that it is a sport. The way you play is how you define it. There are a lot of reasons why Paintball is considered a sport because there are teams, tournaments, and it can be a profession.
One reason why Paintball is a sport is because of the teams. There are many, many, many teams such as Team Dynasty of San Diego, Team Wolf Pack of Wisconsin, Hurricanes of New England, and much, much more. These teams practice for hours to get to the best that they could be. The teams travel around the country for tournaments and practice against other teams. The teams have a coach to help them and each player on the team has their own position to play out on the field. For instance there is the mid-player, back-player, and front-player. Each team consists of 5-10 men/girl teams. These teams compete in tournaments to be champions to the best ability that they can be.
Another reason that I believe paintball is a sport is that it’s exciting and requires a lot of skill. The tournaments are very exciting for all Paintball lovers. There are three different types of tournaments there is the NPPL which stands for National Professional Paintball League. The other tournament is called the NXL which stands for National XBall League. XBall is another tournament, but it is not the same one as NXL. Each tournament does the same thing but they all have different sponsors for the players to get paid from and have the sponsors have paintballs and air refills ready for the players. When you are a professional and you play in tournaments and you are on a team, you will get paid for playing the amazing game of paintball, this is a job. You must be stealthy, a good shot, and much more to be good at paintballing.
Another way paintball is a sport is that there are a lot of tournaments and in there are teams that play to win. Paintballing also has pros that have a profession in paintballing. Having tournaments with teams that practice so hard to win makes people think if that is their only job. For most of the players, yes, that is their job and they get paid a lot of money for playing this great sport. For the average professional Paintballer you make around $147,000 a year. But if you are one of the best and you are well known in Paintball you could make up to or close to $10 million. For most professional players they would get the $147,000 because it can be really hard to get really good. And finally that is why Paintball is a sport.
The reasons why this is a sport is because of the teams, tournaments, and because it is a job. There are more reasons but these are just a few. If you don’t think that this is a sport than you can tell yourself that soccer isn’t a sport because in paintball it takes running, doing objectives, and mainly communicating with teamwork. In conclusion it really depends on how you play. You either play it as a sport or a hobby.

Eminem's Life
This is an essay about Eminem’s Life describing almost everything in his life.
How would you feel if you had to grow up in a trailer park in Detroit with no dad? This is exactly how Eminem (Marshal) had to live. When young Eminem was born, his father left his mother Debbie. When Eminem was a baby he was beaten and abused. As he grew up his mom started to get more and more boyfriends and Eminem hated having them over so he was never home, he was always with his friends. Eminem started to rap at the age of 12, after that he started to rap in talent shows at his high school. When he was done with those because he never won, he went to a rap battle place and the first song he was going to sing he chocked and then he was made fun of.
After he was a laughing stock he never went there again, there was a gang called Free World and they hated Eminem and his friends because Eminem has a big mouth and always were starting things with them. One day Eminem and his friends decided to go and gang beat Free World but they lost horribly. After when Eminem went home his little sister was looking out the window she saw Eminem and the gang leader Free World fought each other and the leader put a gun to Eminem’s temple but didn’t shoot.
When Eminem was fed up with getting beat up he went back into the rap battles and started to win. He beat down Free World all by himself and wasn’t beat up by them anymore. Afterward he started to date a girl name Kim that he went to school with and they got married and now have a 16 year old daughter named Hailie. Eminem and Kim broke up then got married again, then got broken up. Eminem now adopted two more daughters, Alaina who is 18 and Whitney who is 10. Eminem protects them the best a father could do and he doesn’t let anybody mess with his daughters.
After he started winning he made a demo real for some producer to hear. Dr. Dre got his hands on it and loved it; Dr. Dre flew Eminem and his family out to California so Eminem could make his first CD. Eminem was now making thousands of dollars and was getting more and more famous. What was making him less famous was his addiction to drugs. Eminem took so many drugs that when he wasn’t feeling well one day and he went to the doctor, the doctor told him that he was going to die in two hours. Eminem didn’t die and is now clean from drugs and now has no problems with addictions.
Now that he is clean of drugs and making more songs and albums he is now the #1 most famous rapper in the U.S. Eminem is only 5’8” and weighs 175lbs. He is left handed and has brown hair. He has dyed his hair blonde but that was when he was a drug addict. He is only 38 years old and I believe that most people only know of him from his song Not Afraid. He wrote that song because he is saying that life is tough but you can make it through. All you have to do is believe and you too can make it through life just fine (hopefully it is better than his life but it will be fine).
How would you feel if you had to grow up in a trailer park in Detroit with no dad? This is exactly how Eminem (Marshal) had to live. When young Eminem was born, his father left his mother Debbie. When Eminem was a baby he was beaten and abused. As he grew up his mom started to get more and more boyfriends and Eminem hated having them over so he was never home, he was always with his friends. Eminem started to rap at the age of 12, after that he started to rap in talent shows at his high school. When he was done with those because he never won, he went to a rap battle place and the first song he was going to sing he chocked and then he was made fun of.
After he was a laughing stock he never went there again, there was a gang called Free World and they hated Eminem and his friends because Eminem has a big mouth and always were starting things with them. One day Eminem and his friends decided to go and gang beat Free World but they lost horribly. After when Eminem went home his little sister was looking out the window she saw Eminem and the gang leader Free World fought each other and the leader put a gun to Eminem’s temple but didn’t shoot.
When Eminem was fed up with getting beat up he went back into the rap battles and started to win. He beat down Free World all by himself and wasn’t beat up by them anymore. Afterward he started to date a girl name Kim that he went to school with and they got married and now have a 16 year old daughter named Hailie. Eminem and Kim broke up then got married again, then got broken up. Eminem now adopted two more daughters, Alaina who is 18 and Whitney who is 10. Eminem protects them the best a father could do and he doesn’t let anybody mess with his daughters.

The War That Lasted 15min.
Along time ago in the year 2011 at the time of 2:00pm on Saturday of the month of March there was a war that happened in Mukwonago WI. The war was in a place called the Siege which is located right next to a hospital. The Siege is a place that you can have a war when ever you want between the times of 10:00am and 9:00pm. When the wars are happening the entire building will hear the war that you are having in the building or outside. This place that will hold the wars is a place to go Paintballing.
When you go paintballing the adrenalin in your body starts so much and you have the feeling to tense your body because it stings when you get hit in the neck. When I have gone paintballing I have been in the indoor and outdoor fields so I have played on every field that the Siege has. The Building that the Siege is in is a barn so all the shots echo through the building. There is two fields in the barn and there is four fields outside. I have played on all of the six fields. I personally think that the indoor fields are more fun. The last time I went paintballing was the time that I played on the outdoor fields the entire time.
The best game that we played was the one in the castle. My team was on the side that started in the woods and the other team got the castle. When the ref started the game we ran out to try to get everybody in the castle. The people that my team was playing against was cheating through. My brother hit one of them in the mask and in the leg and he wiped the paint off the mask to make it look like he didn’t get hit and he said “OW,” when he got hit but he didn’t leave the field. My friend Bryce hit another kid in the leg three times and he didn’t go out. But then my brother and Bryce both got hit in the feet chest and legs and they went out like your supposed to. I was last on my team and I did hit somebody and they went out and then I ran out of paintballs. So I was supposed to leave the game but I didn’t and I stayed in the game and then I waited for three minutes for the game to end and then nobody could shoot. I waited and the time ran out so then we tied. That was the War That Lasted 15min.

The Year of the Terror
Once upon a time there was a year of the dragons, that year was 890. When the dragons attacked all then time and had problems with humans and their ways of only killing other creatures. When only once they tried to kill a dragon. They did kill it but that lead to revenge to the humans from the dragons. The one that the humans killed was only 4 days old. When they killed it, it was the size of a large school bus. They didn’t know that it was only 4 days old. The dragons had to make a plan to get all of the humans at once. They tried fire and ice but that didn’t kill many people. They tried almost anything but one thing.
The only thing that they didn’t try was be nice to the humans and then when they were in a conference with the whole island they would attack. That was working but they hadn’t thought of how to kill them. One dragon that was the oldest said that they should make a ball full of fire and hang it over them. All dragons liked that and they mad e a ball and filed it with fire and they were right. They do have island conferences that everybody goes to. So the humans have a large tent that they go in, but it is made wood so it would burn faster. When the humans went in the wooden tent the oldest dragon dropped the fire ball and burned the place down to the ground. The dragons won and named the island Dragon Land.

Country
A lot of people think that country music is really bad. Well I believe that they are wrong and I believe that it is a very good genre of music. There is a lot of good songs that are country. There isn't many people that like country in Asa Clark Middle school. But there are some people that like it. Some of my favorite artist are; The Lacs, Colt Ford, Hank Williams Jr., Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Dry County, Justin Moore, and some Craig Morgan. The Lacs sing country rap, same with Colt Ford. They sing in a rap form but they are singing country words and they sing country. One of my favorite songs by The Lacs are Kickin Up Mud and Country Road.

Jeep
In three years if my mom's jeep still works and if she doesn't get rid of it I will get it and I will make it really cool with blue lights on the inside and I will fix it with the squeak that it makes, even though every jeep makes that noise except the 2010-2012 jeeps. My mom's is a 1999 so if I get it, it will be 15 years old. I would put a muffler on it that would take the squeak right out. I would change the rims on it and I would get different seat covers and a different steering wheel cover. That is what I would do if I got a Jeep.
If I Had One Wish
If I had one wish it would be that me and my family could have more money and live in a house. Right now we have money but we would love to live in a house other than a town house that has police come past everyday and all the neighbors that come to live by us are always annoying and loud. If they aren't annoying they end up getting arrested. If we had a house my dad would like it to have a HUGE garage because he like to do something either to his motorcycle, his truck, or my moms jeep. If he isn't doing something to a vehicle he is doing something with his tools that he has. My mom would like the house that isn't really big or small. My brother would like a huge yard so we could play paintball. Then if we had a big yard our dog could run around in that instead of us taking him for a walk. That is what I would wish for if I had one.

Apples
Apples are red, green, or yellow. They come off of trees. You can eat them and they will repay you by giving you good health. If they are sliced and sit out in the air they start to turn brown. But they are still good. My favorite color on an apple is red because they are good. Sometimes something gross can happen and they will get worms in them. More than just humans like apples. Some animals like apples too. Birds and more land and air animals like apples. Apples are very tasty and can be juicy. Apples also have a stem.

Favorite Sport
My favorite sport is Paintball. Paintball is a sport and not just a hobby. A lot of people think that it is only a hobby. They are wrong. There is sponsors that you can get and there are tournaments to play and win trophies. The Paintball gun that I wish to have is the Tippmann made U.S. Army Alpha Black. This gun is modeled after the M16A4. The gun shoots 300fps. The bad thing is that I would have to buy a hopper and a co2 tank. Paintball is really fun I believe that anyone can play it. Even really young or old people play it. The Paintball's are environment friendly so you can eat them and they wash away in water and rain.
Eminem and 50 Cent
How would you like to grow up living in a trailer park for a really long time with your mom and your baby sister, you have never met your dad and nobody wants to be your friend because you are white and everybody that you live by isn’t? Or, how would you like to be a young boy that had their mother murdered when you were 12, then when you are in your twenties you get shot nine times because you are famous and that gets too many people mad? A lot of people think that I overly like Eminem and 50 Cent because I know a lot about both of them. With all of the bad things that happened to them I like their music because of what happened to them in their lives and what they put into their music because of what happened to them, and how they make their music popular by putting that into it.
Eminem's real name is Marshal Bruce Mathers III. Eminem is 5'8", 175Lbs, he is 38 years old, he has three daughters, he was born in Detroit, and he lived with his mom in a trailer park until he was 25(I think). He grew up in a trailer in a trailer park called 8 Mile and lived with his mom, his sister, and his mom's boyfriend. 8 Mile was the cut off side of the good side of Detroit and the bad side of Detroit. Eminem's dad had left him and his mom when Eminem was 18 months old. Eminem's oldest daughters name is Hallie Mathers age 16. Eminem would prefer her to grow up to be an actress. She has gone on tours with Eminem and has gone to a lot of his concerts. When Hallie was about 5 or 6 her family moved a lot. They couldn’t stay in one house for a long time because the house they chose always was the one to get robbed or shot at. Eminem’s family was lucky that they didn’t get hit form the shots. The longest that they lived in a house was 6-8 months.
His other two daughters are adopted. One was from somewhere in Asia, and the other was from his ex-wife that he had Hallie with. He has married his ex-wife twice. Her name is Kim. She is the one who left him, he didn't leave her. She Left because he had a record deal and she didn’t like seeing him on TV or hearing him on the radio. She got mad and left Eminem with nothing, not even his children that were evenly his. Eminem has done some bad things such as killing 4 people and been arrested multiple times. He used to do drugs and now he quit because on the 8 words that a doctor said to him when he wasn't feeling well. The 8 words he said were, "You are about to die in two hours." That was because he had the equivalent of 4 pounds of heroin in his body, he is lucky that he didn't die in that two hours. Because of that he never did drugs again. With all the bad that happened to Eminem there has been worse to 50 Cent.
50 Cent’s real name is Curtis James Jackson III. He has one son named Marqueis Jackson. Marqueis's nickname is 25 Cent because his father is 50 Cent. 50 Cent wears a bullet proof hat, a bullet proof vest, and he drives a bullet proof Mercedes Benz. He has all of these bullet proof things because he has been shot 9 times. When he got shot he got shot when he got into his friends car and another car pulled up behind them and rolled down the windows. The other car drove faster and came up to the side of the car and started to shoot. The first shot hit 50 in the thumb and came out his pinky finger. 50 reached for his gun and pulled the trigger at the driver (also the shooter) but when he pulled the trigger nothing shot because he didn’t cock the gun back. After the driver saw 50’s gun he shot 8 more times. All the shots were in 50’s arms chest legs and the worst shot was in the cheek.
After that the other car drove away and never was seen again. 50’s friend that was driving speed up a lot to get 50 to a hospital. When they drove past a water vent 50’s friend took 50’s gun and dropped it in the vent so that they wouldn’t get in trouble for having the gun with them. When they got to the hospital the doctors helped him but they wanted to do a trachea fix so that whenever he talked he would have to press the button that they put in your throat. His grandmother said not to do that because without his music he would have nothing. To this day he still sings and still has shards of the bullet in his tongue and now his cheeks slant in.
I believe that their lives are interesting and that is why you people think that I overly like them. I believe that 50 Cent’s life was much harder to live through other than Eminem’s. Sure Eminem had a lot of things go wrong with his life but he hasn’t had his mom murdered when he was 12. 50 Cent has seen much more than Eminem but both of them are famous but that doesn’t mean that they like it. In a lot of Eminem’s songs he says that he would like to be dropped from his record deal. Eminem and 50 Cent’s life are both bad but that is what happens to some people, even if they are as famous as them. This is why I like rap and there music so much. Both artists have made Millions of dollars and Eminem is in a new song called Fast Lane, by Eminem and Royce Da 5’9. This is why I like rap. I like how they put what has happened to them into their music.

Garbage
There once was a little boy named Bobby. Bobby had a magical fork. The forks name was Jimmy. Jimmy could do no evil, he only did things for good and was always in a good mood. One day Bobby and Jimmy ran into a evil straw named Paul. Paul had a best evil friend that was a balloon. Bobby thought that it was really dumb having a balloon and a straw as an evil item thing. The straw and the balloon got mad that Bobby thought that they are dumb, so they went all evil and started to attack and the fork used magical powers to spawn a Necklace, a puzzle piece, a toothpick, a bobby pin and a button. With all of them against those two the evil ones had no chance. so they tried to fight and the evil ones lost and it all went back to normal.
Bobby and the Jimmy got really board because there was nothing else to do so they turned evil and did every thing evil. They robbed banks, held people hostage and anything else that was evil. Finally they got board of that too because they did everything evil possible. So they had nothing to do so they went home and played board-games. They only had three and they played them all and still had nothing to do. When they got so board that they couldn't do anything they finally moved to Alkida and turned into an Alkida member and when they were talking in an Arabian language, there come the crocodile hunter. He comes up to them and says "Croy-key" the Alkida members all replied... "Croy-key, Croy-key, what the Croy-key!" Then the crocodile hunter went up to them and and poked them with a stick. "ALALALALA," "Oh He's Angry!" And then the Alkida members killed the crocodile hunter by using a stingray. Then they got arrested and that was the end of them.

Favorite Genre of Music
My favorite genre of music is rap. Most rap artist make very good songs and the only rapper that I really don't like is 'Lil Wayne. I believe that all of his songs are bad except No Love because it is with Eminem which is my favorite rap artist. The only other rapper that I really like is 50 Cent. 50 Cent and Eminem make good music by themselves and when they make a song together. One of my favorite songs that they are both in is Encore. The song is also with Dr. Dre who is the producer to all of the people in Aftermath records and that has Eminem and 50 Cent in it but they made there own record too. Eminem's is Shady records and 50 Cent made G-Unit records. Now I want to know what is your favorite music genre.

Spring Assessment
What would you do if you worked for the king just to get doves for him so he can eat them, then when he is going to get married he wants you to get one hundred doves and you got 99? This is what happens in the story “The Hundredth Dove” by Jane Yolen. In the story it states that the Fowler job was to get doves for the king and there is a certain amount of doves that the king will have a day. The king was about to get married and wanted one hundred doves within a week. The Fowler got ninety-nine but the hundredth made the Fowler think twice and never gave the doves to the king. This story was okay because of the Fowler and the king.
The Fowler worked for the king to get him doves to eat. He had a net that would catch the birds without hurting them. He sued the net himself so it was soft so the birds wouldn’t get hurt when they got caught in it. The Fowler didn’t mind working for the king until the hundredth dove. When the king was going to get married he asked for one hundred doves so everyone that was at the marriage could eat something. The Fowler went to get one hundred doves within seven days, he caught ninety-nine in six and on the seventh he caught the hundredth and when he was walking back to his home in the woods the dove was talking to him to make the fowler let all the doves free. The Fowler wouldn’t listen and finally he did and the king never had his marriage. After that he never caught doves again, he just fed them and they loved him afterward. While the Fowler was a great character in the story so was the king.
The king is a man means what he says. When he says “I want one hundred doves” he expects one hundred doves. The king is very powerful because he is the king. He tells what happens in his town. He always tells the Fowler to get doves for him so that he and other town people have something to eat. The Fowler will listen until the hundredth dove. The king never got married because the Fowler never gave one hundred doves.
This was a great story because of the details that the Fowler and the king had. The fact that this was a great story had to be because of those two characters and how they are described. This story was very good and wasn’t too long.

Favorite song
My favorite song is So Bad by Eminem. This song is 5mins and 25sec long. It is on his newest album Recovery. A lot of the song is really easy to remember. All the songs on recovery are really good and just as good as So Bad so really all the songs on Recovery are my favorite songs. All the songs on recovery are... Cold Wind's Blow, On Fire, W.T.P., Going Through Changes, Not Afraid, Seduction, Space Bound, Cinderella man, 25 To Life, Almost Famous, You're Never Over, and Untitled. Every single song on this album is very good, but because it is Eminem there is a lot of swears.

What would do if your brother had been ill for years and your whole family was upset and then… he died and everyone was crying for days and even weeks, this is what happened in the story To Sit in the Sun by Joanna Leyland. This wasn’t a very good story because of how short it was and how confusing it could be. I believe that this story wasn’t good at all because of the somewhat non-confusing and lack of understanding.
With the length being really short it made the story very bad with the fact that it wasn’t something that I normally would read because I only like books with guns, killing, or just some sort of action. With the story not being that I thought that it would be somewhat good but it was horrible. While the brother was ill and then he died was confusing because it talked about their dad and there dog but later it said that their brother was the one that had passed away. With all the confusion in this story there was some non-confusion that was still confusing in a way that made me not like this story.
With the non-confusing parts that were still a little confusing was while the brother was dead the family that lived next to them was just one old lady that didn’t like the moaning and the crying. But the sister of the dead brother that never had the name said was asking the old lady if she would check on the body. She replied that she would, and that was a little weird to me. The old lady went to look at the body and she told the little girl about the body and she sad that it like to Sit in the Sun.
This was one of the worst stories I have ever read and I don’t recommend it to anyone. This story was bad because you couldn’t really understand it and there were only a couple parts that I actually understood a little. This was a horrible story about a boy who died, a family that was very sad that their son died and an old lady that looked over the dead body.

Favorite Childhood Memory
I believe that my favorite childhood memory was when I got x box live. When I got my own account on x box I was so happy. I would originally always play on my brothers account and I don't think he liked that because his friends didn't like me playing and so when it was my birthday my brother made an account for me while I was at school because he was already home from school. When he got home he made an account for me and that was the best birthday present ever.
When he made it the gamer tag was YOUNGBUCK50C. I thought it was cool then but after a month the live ran out and I had to make a new account and start all over again in all the games I have played. The gamer tag that I chose was really dumb but I have changed it about 5 times from it. The one I first chose was IM GHOST12369. From there I went to Tyson Rios AO2. After that I had US M1A2 ABRAM. from there I went to F4TfULxXxS4Lm0N that one was a good one for a wile 'till I went to GHETTOxBOMBER. That didn't last long and from there I went to my current one which is qXxEMIN3MxXp. That is my favorite one I have chosen and I don't believe I will change it again.
From having x box live it has made me the x box gamer I am today. I have had x box live for 1 year and I don't chose on loosing it. Even though I am a gamer I still hang out with my friends, do good in school, and I do all the things a person that doesn't have an x box would do. But in the game that I play the most which is Modern Warfare 2 I am the highest prestige you can be which is 10th prestige and almost level 70 (the highest level to get to). I am 10th prestige level 65. That is why getting my own x box live account is my favorite childhood memory.

The Gun Want
The gun that I want is a M-200 Intervention because it is my favorite gun and it is the sniper that has the most accurate far shot. It is an American sniper rile and it has a magazine that holds 7 rounds. It is a bolt action and is used today. It's barrel is about 235cm long and that is from the end of the barrel to the end of the scope.

Another day at the Bus Station
After the bus station was destroyed form explosives they re-built it because it was a very nice place to go and get a bus ride or hang out with your friends. When it was blown up there was one survivor that no one knew about. He was the leader of the robbers. He was Caucasian and named Frank. Not one person felt bad once they found out that he was in the explosion. He was hated by everybody in the world, even his mother. When he was found to be alive all destruction broke loose to get him dead. Everyone in the town got M4's and AK's and other guns just to kill him and he only had a desert eagle. The towns people found him and he shot his only shot and he missed. they shot and hit him and killed him and then the people were happy again.

End of the Line
What would you do if you and your twin brother had just saw the first telephone in town and you wanted to call someone, then noticed that it was five cents a call and you don’t have any money? This is what happens in the story End of the Line by Alison L. Randall. When I read this I thought that it was a very good western story because I like western and all the horses that they rode on and the old guns. Although we are way past western time this western story was very good and exciting because of the action that happened in the story and the wanted man who didn’t like other people in his mining area.
With all the action that happened with the Western time I believe that this was a great story to show that. The story End of the Line was good because the action that happened during the sight of the telephone because Liza wanted to make a phone call and she had no money. When Liza and her brother Frank were walking home they saw rocks for sale and that gave Liza the idea to find crystals and sell them to use on the phone. When she goes to find a rock she went into a mining area of a wanted man. He didn’t like that so he tied them up and left them in a cave. Frank got out and then helped Liza out, and they turned in the wanted man for money and got enough for the phone. While the action was great the wanted man was a very well described person.
Zedekiah Smith was the mining man and a bank robber that was well described because the story stated that they were dressed for riding, with leather chaps and spurs and had a mustache that hung past his jaw. Zed was very wanted for robbing banks and killing people. After Liza took a crystal rock he found Liza and Frank and tied them and put them in a cave then left. Liza and Frank got out and turned Zed in and got enough for the phone. Frank spent his half of the money on candy and Liza was going to spend it on the phone but she realized that everyone she knows doesn’t have a phone so she spent it on candy too.
That is why I believe that even though we are way past the old west I believe that this is a great story because of the action and the wanted man named Zedekiah Smith. The old west was a very long time again but there are still very good old west books and movies. While our time has a lot of electronics the old west is still told about today.

Death by Scrabble
Death by Scrabble
What would you do if you were 42 years old hated your wife and had nothing to do but play scrabble? You hated your wife so much you wanted to kill her. This is what happens in the short story Death by Scrabble by Charlie Fish. If you hated your wife and the only thing to do was play scrabble with her would you quit and never play that game again. I believe that Death by Scrabble was one of the best short stories that I have ever read.
This was a great short story because of the way that Charlie Fish had written it and the words he had used for the story. During the game of Scrabble that his he and his wife were having he went first and was glad that he was winning because she hadn’t gone yet. Then when it was her turn she was winning from the placement of the word she played. She played the word JIXED and from there on out everything that they played would come true. He had a habit of chewing the pieces. With how Charlie Fish had wrote the story like that really got my attention. With how he wrote that got my attention the game and what he thought and played was great two.
The way that Charlie Fish had written this was great and was very deadly because the main character only wanted to kill his wife. While they were playing he played the word BANG and the air-conditioning blew up. He also played HOT and he got really warm. While they were playing the whole time he was thinking of words to put that would symbolize that he wanted to kill her. Towards the end of the game he played the word CHEATING and from that word he cheated when he placed that word. While she was getting tea he swapped one of his letters so he could make the word CHEATING. At the end of the game he had a “B” in his mouth and he played the word QUAKE and then immediately she placed DEATH and an earthquake started and pushed the “B” down his throat and got stuck and he died.
This is the reason that I believe that this was a great short story and was well written other than the part of the main characters didn’t have names they were called his wife and him. Death by Scrabble was written as a narrative so the male main character was called I or myself. That is when I thought that Death by Scrabble was one of the best and most likely is the best short story I have ever read.

Favorite Music Artist
My favorite music artist is Eminem. I don't get why everyone likes Lil Wayne more. I think that Einem is better and has better music. My favorite song is 8 Mile by Eminem and the song is from Eminem's movie called 8 Mile because he lived in Detroit and on 8 Mile Road which is a mobile home center. Eminem has written a lot of songs that are very good. Eminem's music producer is Dr. Dre who is also a very good music artist. One of Eminem's friends is 50 Cent(also good music artist). All three of them sing Hip-Hop/Rap. Eminem and Dr. Dre sang at the 53 grammy award. The song that they sang was one of Dr. Dre's newest which is I Need A Doctor.
Who is your favorite music artist?

Sure Fire
What would you do if you and your twin were living with your mom and she died in a car crash? Then you had to live with your neighbor that the wife liked you but the husband hated children. When you go to the funeral there is man that says he is your father. He takes you home and you and your twin hate him already, he has no food and nothing to do and you have to go to boarding school so you have to wear uniforms. I believe that Sure Fire by Jack Higgins would be a great book from the characters and the story.
The main characters in Sure Fire are Rich, Jade and John Chance. Rich and Jade are 15 year old twins that had their mother die in a car accident. John says that he is Rich’s and Jade’s father and he takes them home and tells about himself. John says that he is Rich’s and Jade’s father and he takes them home and tells about himself. Jade finds something that she really doesn’t like about John which is that he smokes. Rich and Jade have to go to a privet school because of John. Although the characters in this book are interesting the actual story is really good.
The story of Sure Fire is very good and sad how their mom has died in a car crash and they have to live with someone that they don’t even know but he is apparently their dad. John doesn’t have anything to eat and Jade and Rich have to share a room. The house is so boring for the twins, Jade is board the most because she wants her friends back and a magazine to read at least.
This was a good book that had to make you think about what has happened to these kids. This would be a great book from the characters and the story. The characters were interesting and the story was good and sad. This book was a book that I would recommend to a friend and a novel that a teacher should read for a class.

The Wanted Man
He never saw the man the killed him. It was July of 1895, he was wanted in 3 states. For years no one could catch him. The longer he ran the harder is was to get him. He was the most dangerous man in the western part of the United States. He could kill a man in two seconds. He was the best gunslinger in the west. He had never lost a battle and had killed people that he wasn't trying to get. He was a rebel that had the worst replication of anyone. Just to help that he had a team of about five men including himself.
Wile a train was ridding down the tracks, somebody spotted the five men on the horses ridding down past and asked what they were doing and someone in the back of the train yelled that they were train robber and told everyone to get down. The train was well protected with guards that had shotguns and while the horse team was ridding the leader got shot but never saw who shot. The other horse men had explosives on there horses and shot the explosives so they could go to the same place as the leader. There were about 25 guards on the train but only one shot. One of the guards said, " Is this the end of the train robbers?" "No it will never end," said another.
Authors note:This story was written by some of my classmates but mostly me.

Favorite Video Game.
My favorite game is Halo: Reach. I like that game because sometimes Call of Duty can be very boring. I like that game because you can build your own maps in forge world. Sam and I have built an aircraft carrier. Halo is a game that is in the future and they have lazer shooting guns and that is why it is my favorite game.

How to Make a Modded Controler
To make a modded controller you can either buy one off of eBay for about $20.00 to $50.00. Or you can do the way that I am going to do which is get a spring that is from a pen but the pen has to have a large spring. The controller has a spring in it already but the spring is small enough for the controller to work but is you put a larger spring in it the controller thinks that you press down the trigger faster so you can hold down the trigger and it will shoot full auto on a semi auto gun.

Deep Water
Deep Water
How would you feel if you hated water and finally had the courage to go swimming classes, when you went all by yourself and waited for someone to come, someone finally came but they through you in the deep end, you were drowning, he wouldn’t help till someone else came and told him to get you out of the water? That is what happened in the true story Deep Water by William O. Douglas. Although I am not afraid of water I am afraid of heights, when someone reads this they will most likely think of their fears. Someone has tried to through me down two flights of stairs and they were metal stairs so as soon as I read this I thought of when I was going to fly down stairs.
Some people have paraskavedekatriaphobia which is a fear of Friday the 13th. When people are afraid of something it is very hard to not be afraid of it any more. Although I am afraid of heights I still go on fairs wheels and I don’t feel that I will fall and die because my fear of heights is not as great as it was when I was little. Now I really don’t care when I am up high. I am a person that got rid of my fear of heights. Although people have fears some people don’t have any fears.
With a lot of people being afraid of heights, or water, or something else. If you can name anything someone some wear is afraid of it. And others think that they are perfect in every way that they can because they are not afraid of anything. Those people think that they can be better than everyone because they aren’t afraid of anything while the people around them are afraid of something.
Deep water was a story that really made you think about your fears and fears that other people have. When William O. Douglas wrote this I believe that he was trying to make you think about the fears that most everyone has. He wanted to tell his story so that others can really think about what has happened to him. When this story is read, the reader will think of the fears that they have and fears of family or close friends.

The Pearl
The Pearl
How would you like it if your baby got stung by a scorpion and when you go to the doctor he won’t help because he is racist and hates Indians? That is what happens in the book The Pearl by John Steinbeck. The book The Pearl was a book that was kind of boring in the beginning but towards the middle and end it was a lot better. Although this wasn’t very good in the beginning it turned out to be a good, bad, and sad book.
The main characters in The Pearl were Kino and Juana. Kino in the beginning of the book was a kind man who wore bad close and was poor. He and his wife Juana have one child named Coyotito. Juana was a very nice and calm person that had never wanted something to much for she may not like it or it she may not even get it. Juana is a person that was nice and was always supporting to Kino. This book was good and bad at parts which will be in the next paragraph
This book was not very good in the beginning and it got better in the end in some parts. When Kino found the pearl was a good part because he found the pearl of the sea and he thought that it would be worth thousands or millions. Then when the doctor wants thousands of dollars for helping the baby and Kino doesn’t have that he had to sell it and the pearl buyers purposely made it sound like it was worth about 200 dollars.
With this book not being good at the beginning and was a little good at the end. This was a book that was really boring in the beginning and got better towards the end, a sad part is in the end when the baby got shot and died. That is why it was a good, bad, and sad book.

Reflection on The Pearl
I believe that this ended to be a good and sad book. It was a good book because towards the end it started to get a little more interesting and it was sad because when they were in the cave and Cyotito was crying a watch Gard person pulled out his rifle thinking it was a mountain lion and he shot and hit Coyotito in the head and he died. It was a good book because how Kino got crazy got exciting.

Reflection on The Pearl
The book The Pearl isn't very good because I cant follow along with it very well. I did like the part when Kino found the pearl and the baby was getting beater. Then when they talked to the doctor and he said "when you came in the morning I wasn't here, but now I can help that baby with then poison. Then Kino said "The baby's poison is almost gone." But the doctor said that scorpion poson is tricky because it will be almost gone but then it will pop and will be even worse.

Why does Juana believe the pearl will destroy her and Kino? How will the pearl destroy them? Give examples to support your opinion.
Juana thinks that the pearl will destroy the family because everyone knows that they have the pearl of the sea. Everyone in the town wants the pearl because they think that it will get them rich. Juana thinks that it will destroy the family because Kino has the pearl hidden in the hut that they live in, so if the other people figure out that is in the hut they will do nothing till they get it. The pearl will destroy the family because if the other people know that Kino wants to sell the pearl they will try to steal it so that they don't have to pay him. And with everyone trying to steal it the pearl no one will care if they hurt anyone because they only want the pearl. The other people won't back down till they get the pearl and Juana fears that it will get someone or something in their family hurt and it will just tear the family apart.
