Authors note: This is an essay about an
important quote and why it is important. The purpose is to improve in my organization in body paragraphs.
“I can sell anybody anything.” This is a quote by Jenna Boller from The Rules of the Road by Joan Bauer. She says this because she is clerk at a shoe store. She is quite good at her job. But I feel that this quote means that she believes in herself and won’t give up with herself. This is meaning that she does care about her customers and such and she won’t stop at anything without selling them a pair of shoes. Jenna is a confident female no matter what the situation is about. This quote has many meaning behind it.
First of all, although it does not seem like much of a quote, it is. This is meaning that she won’t and possibly couldn’t give up with what she does. She loves her job more than most people. She is a person that will not give up and this quote proves it. With this quote it shows her character; she is a person that cares about herself and others. This shows that she will not give up and this is because it is true, she almost never lets somebody leave the store without a pair of shoes with them. She is a person that will do what she is expected.
Secondly, this quote is very important to furthermore in the story because, saying this quote is showing her character and how she acts throughout the story. This is a very important quote to this novel because this really sets up her character, by saying this it will prove to be that if you think harder about it you will get more meaning past it, by going one step further with it you can be able to see that this is a very important quote by proving that she is a person that doesn’t give up and is a very hard worker.
Lastly, this quote could have potential to helping her person by the end of the book. This quote will help because she gets the offer to be her boss’s chauffeur she takes it to prove that she is confident and will not give up on anything. She takes this offer to prove herself worthy and not a quitter, nobody ever thought of her as somebody who will succeed in the end, but she can and will, this quote shows that greatly.
In conclusion, “I can sell anybody anything.” is meaning is important to the book and her character because this does really show who she is because she is a nice hardworking person that would and can do this to people. This is a quote to help with her life and her character later on in the book.

Drunk Again
Authors note: This is a creative piece about the man Character, Jenna, writing a letter to her father. The purpose is to improve in my character development.
Dear dad,
Hello, this is Jenna your daughter, if you truly cared about me why are you drunk all the time? I ask myself this every day, why you may ask, it’s because I care about you, you’re my dad. Why are you drunk all the time? Is it to help me or hurt me, because so far it has only hurt me? You’ve never been there for me? You’ve only been there for yourself and your drinking needs. Who knows, maybe in the end we will figure out why you drink and why you are never there for me. Whenever I go to see you all I see is a drunk father that never helps me with anything. Why is it that you never help me and why is it that you choose to drink and not help with your family? If you really loved us you would quit drinking to support us.
Furthermore, why do you give me the idea that you really don’t care about me. Whenever I have the chance to talk to you I get happy, but then I realize that, your drunk again. If you think that this is going to help me in the end keep it up, but at least tell me before and make sure that your not drunk when you tell me. If you truly know that this will not help me, can you please try your hardest to stop drinking. I love you dad. Mom, and Faith do too. You really couldn’t stop drinking to help us, if you can, will you?
From,
Jenna

Driver
Authors note: I am writing to improve in my organization in my body paragraphs by using sophisticated transitions and quotes to support my reasoning.
Have you ever felt that you were somebody that was great at what they do until somebody important asks of you to do something that you would never think of doing? This is what happens in Rules of the Road. Jenna is a 16 year old girl that works at a shoe store and is very good at it. “I can sell anything to anyone” is one of her quotes that is true, she never lets her customers down and will get them the perfect shoe and will make sure she sells it to them. One of the main conflicts to what she does is person vs. self because her boss tells her to drive her places such as the hospital and other places and this will get Jenna scared because she has never done something so important for somebody before and because she has to battle between herself, her boss, and her dad who is an alcoholic and is drunk all the time.
As a start, her boss wants her to be her driver and she has a Cadillac and she is used to driving a Honda. Her boss is a woman that isn’t an unreasonable woman, she wouldn’t make her do anything mean or unworthy of Jenna. “As I was driving I glanced into my rear view mirror and saw Mrs. Gladstone reaching in her bag for a large blue pillow tucking under her thigh, she saw me in the mirror and quickly said ‘eyes on the road” meaning that her boss is not a mean person but is meaning that she has her reasons why she doesn’t want Jenna to see her. With her boss not being too bad she has other problems with her dad.
Thusly, meaning her dad is an alcoholic and has a problem. Her dad is always drunk and was never there for her so she is battling herself for trying to stay how she is and trying to fight her anger/ sadness because he was never there for her. Her dad came into the shoe store one day, drunk, and she could barely stand so she sat him down and tried to talk to him but of course he was drunk so she could barely get a descent word out or him that made sense. With him being drunk all the time she could barely do anything with him unless he becomes a non-alcoholic.
In conclusion, she has to fight herself towards both things in her life. Although she may be able to work things out with her boss she may never work them out with her dad. Her boss isn’t mean, but her dad doesn’t have a clue what is going on because he is drunk all the time.

D Day (alternate ending)
Authors note: I am writing to get a 9 or higher in word choice and conclusion.
Eli's Original Story.
1
It was a windy day when the man crossed the road and went into the bus station. As he was doing so he noticed something strange. A dark figure maybe 25 meters away seemed to be watching him. This man’s name is Dimitri. As he entered the bus station he heard the ticket vendor shout “next!” in a monotone voice. After he purchased his ticket he sat down on a bench and waited. Sitting next to him was a mysterious character. This man was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a black, seemingly heavy, vest. Then suddenly, out of the blue, the man grabbed Dimitri tucked him into a one handed cradle. Until he stood up he didn’t notice how massive the man was. Gunfire crackled behind him, he felt the heat of a bullet fly past him. Dimitri shouted “Who are you!?” at the top of his lungs, only to get the response of “No time to explain.” To be continued……..
2
The hulking figure carried him to an abandon radio station to tell him whats was going down. He explained the oncoming threat. and how he was the only one who could stop it. Dmitri thought he was getting tricked and started looking for hidden cameras. He didn't know that this was 100% reality and not a joke. The man explained that the creatures wanted something we had. Also that the government wouldn't give it up. For that little reason the world would go into utmost chaos to either keep the mineral obtained. Or to steal it. Humans went into battle with them. Little did they know that they were heading into a war not even the world could handle.
3
So we left off suddenly. So lets continue shall we. When you left we were talking about how Dimitri wasn't ready yet, so I trained him. After a lot of whining and giving up then coming back to finish he was actually ready. No doubt about my confidence in him. So we started a covert ops mission gave to me by my leader sort of as a "welcome to the club" sort of thing to Dimitri. On we went. When we got to the enemy headquarters Dimitri was in shock. Poor kid didn't know they were this sophisticated. Well believe it. So with me leading we slipped into the base undetected. The enemy was prepared. Although it could have killed me as well as many of the people who tried to complete this task before, but i knew what was coming. I saw holes in the floor, about 3 x 3 inches. Dimitri didn't. Luckily I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the way just as he stepped on the spring to the trap. I'd say the sharpened stake was about a, maybe a quarter inch from his face. After the near death experience, He asked me what my name was. I responded with "Dimitri". He couldn't believe it. I knew he understood what i was trying to say. Yes as crazy as it seems, i am Dimitri Audoto. Just from the future. Now back to the story. Blah blah long walk blah blah sneak past infantry. Lets get to the good stuff. We were arming the bomb as "it" happened. Bombs went off, stun grenades were thrown, I could see, but he couldn't. I took action of sacrificing my life to save his. I picked him up over my shoulder. put him in the nearest alien looking vehicle. Then I. I grabbed something heavy and put it on the pedal of the vehicle he was in but his hand stopped me. A bleeding me asked me what i was doing. I said "well someone has to do something about these freaks". With a smirk i dropped the rock on the pedal. The vehicle skittered up dust as it went full speed out of the vehicle hangar. I went over to arm the bomb knowing i wouldn't have time to get out of the blast zone. Then, out of nowhere something savage filled me. I aimed at a freak's head and pulled the trigger till it almost broke i did the same to 3 others but then, the bomb went off. The future me died with the rest of them. I bet you never noticed this is the present me telling the story right? Well if you were following correctly what i was just telling you happened long ago. So technically I am the new improved future me. Freaky right? Well if you could catch my drift and comprehend what i'm saying you would know.

Although they didn’t stand a chance, Dimiti knew they could. The government didn’t bother to help because they knew that only one man could stop it. As the large man grabbed Dimitri again he took him to a portal. The large man shoved Dimitri into the portal and Dimitri disappeared. The large man jumped in with him and they ended up into a different world, that was in th future. Dimitri was amazed by how different it was. The large man explained what was going to happen. As he was explaining there was laser shots starting to go past from a large building. Dimitri knew what to do, he needed the large man to smuggle him into the building for his plan to come through. As the man flakily tied him up and put him in a wagon type trailer. As the large man got him into the building he got down to the basement and managed to sneak past the guards in the building and planted a bomb to destroy the building that was the cause to this war that was going to happen in the future. As the bomb was counting down he heard footsteps coming down the steps. He turned around very fast and as soon as he got to the full 180° he was shot in the heart and instantly died. By the time the man that shot him got to the bomb it had 0.2secondes so it still detonated and stopped the war that was going to happen. Although he died, he is still alive in present day.

Beastblood
Authors note: I am writing to get a 9 or higher in word choice and conclusion.
Key:
Markof (Mark-Ov) The main Character.
Athmesa (a-th-me-sa) The name of the city.
Armena (Are-mean-a) One of the most powerful gods to this city.
“Aye, did you see that dragon there?”
“Yeah, I thought that we’d be dead for sure.”
“Here, let me take those brass cuffs off.”
“Thank you, now we need to get out of here before it finds us.”
“Here, take this sword, I don’t need it anymore, the way I see it I’m old and your young, you have more use of it than I do. Seeing how we barely made it out alive I don’t think I have much more life in me.”
“Really, did you make it yourself?”
“No, my father did, though I have no idea what your name is, I have faith in you, I can tell that you are a person that doesn’t stop at anything until he accomplishes what he needs. I see that you are a warrior, a fighter, a patriot; here in Althmesa most people have no hope, until you. You have beastblood.”
“What is that?”
“It means that when you kill or attack something that pretty much anybody would die from, such as a dragon, ware wolf, woolly mammoth, or anything in that arrangement, you can kill it and when you do you take its blood without trying which makes you a better warrior and makes you even more special to others of Athmesa.”
“So, what you mean is that… I’m possessed?”
“Not necessarily, it means that you have a gift. Only certain people in Althmesa can do such.”
“Okay. Does it do anything special?”
“Oh yes, it will make you do what you want when you want. But beware, use it too much in a day and you won’t be the only person that will die.”
“Well, how much is too much?”
“That is something that I don’t know, I’m still here aren’t I, I warn you, try not to use it more than 4 times a day, that is the most I have and I am still hear, thank Armena”
Markof always thought that he was just a normal warrior. But for little did he know he was possessed in a good way. Or at least that is what the old man said. Markof was a middle age mad that was a member of the Archers Club, the Archers Club is where warriors from all over Athmesa go to become a Archer. Markof was one of the best that Athmesa has ever seen, he holds the longest bulls-eye from ½ a mile. He has more game kills than anybody has ever seen and he has now found that he is possessed.
Markof thinks that the old man was making this up but then he thought, Why did I take that dragons blood, I didn’t try to, I couldn’t stop what I was doing, I don’t understand why I would want its blood though?
“Ha, I forgot to tell you, when you’re a beastblood you can read peoples mind on command. Oh, and you took the dragons blood because you are have the possession of beastblood.” explained the old man.
“Do you really think that I believe you, I’m supposed to believe an old man that I just broke out of prison with and killed a dragon with?” replied Markof
“Well I would think so.” said the old man.
“Well I think I will just ask somebody that I can actually trust.” said Markof.
“If I was lieing to you would I have given you my sword, would I have gotten the cuffs off of you, would I have helped you out of prison, and would I have helped you kill that dragon?” asked the old man.
How can I be sure that he isn’t lying or if he is telling the truth. thought Markof.
“But why would I believe something so weird as taking the beast’s blood after I killed it.” said Markof.
“Why wouldn’t you believe that, you did it didn’t you.” replied the old man.
“I don’t know.” said Markof
As they contributed their thoughts about this they noticed that there was something creeping up behind them.
“What was that?” said Markof.
“What was wha…” said the old man as he was ripped to shreds by a warewolf. His limbs flying like birds take off when somebody scares them, his blood pouring out of his wound as if he was a little red waterfall.
As Markof stood in awe as the old man was ripped to shreds he heard a hared of Mammoths coming for him and he heard the roar of a dragon coming from behind. It sounded as if he was going into a carnival back in the 1800’s when there were murderous games that were played. The loud noises got Markof nervous.
There he stands in the middle of a warewolf, twelve Mammoths and four dragons. Markof knew that he couldn’t do this. As the beasts came closer and closer, Markof slowly grabbed his sword off his back and stood in the middle waiting for one to make the first move. The dragon, the biggest beast there, started to creep forward, Markof slowly got a good grip on his sword. He lifted it about flush with his ear, he had his elbows locked for more strength. The dragon blew his fire as he was puking at Markof, Markof didn’t move a muscle. When the dragon finished his fire, Markof was scorched.
Right when the fire stopped every beast started to move forward, Markof knew this was going to happen so he dropped his sword and stood waiting to die. As the brutal battle started Markof stood calmly as they ripped, slashed, burned and eaten him alive. Markof knew this Beastblood mishap was a myth, he didn’t want to live a lie, so he took the sacrifice to die and not live his lie that he got from an old man that he met in prison.

“Not necessarily, it means that you have a gift. Only certain people in Althmesa can do such.”
“Okay. Does it do anything special?”
“Oh yes, it will make you do what you want when you want. But beware, use it too much in a day and you won’t be the only person that will die.”
“Well, how much is too much?”
“That is something that I don’t know, I’m still here aren’t I, I warn you, try not to use it more than 4 times a day, that is the most I have and I am still hear, thank Armena”
Markof always thought that he was just a normal warrior. But for little did he know he was possessed in a good way. Or at least that is what the old man said. Markof was a middle age mad that was a member of the Archers Club, the Archers Club is where warriors from all over Athmesa go to become a Archer. Markof was one of the best that Athmesa has ever seen, he holds the longest bulls-eye from ½ a mile. He has more game kills than anybody has ever seen and he has now found that he is possessed.
Markof thinks that the old man was making this up but then he thought, Why did I take that dragons blood, I didn’t try to, I couldn’t stop what I was doing, I don’t understand why I would want its blood though?
“Ha, I forgot to tell you, when you’re a beastblood you can read peoples mind on command. Oh, and you took the dragons blood because you are have the possession of beastblood.” explained the old man.
“Do you really think that I believe you, I’m supposed to believe an old man that I just broke out of prison with and killed a dragon with?” replied Markof
“Well I would think so.” said the old man.
“Well I think I will just ask somebody that I can actually trust.” said Markof.
“If I was lieing to you would I have given you my sword, would I have gotten the cuffs off of you, would I have helped you out of prison, and would I have helped you kill that dragon?” asked the old man.
How can I be sure that he isn’t lying or if he is telling the truth. thought Markof.
“But why would I believe something so weird as taking the beast’s blood after I killed it.” said Markof.
“Why wouldn’t you believe that, you did it didn’t you.” replied the old man.
“I don’t know.” said Markof
As they contributed their thoughts about this they noticed that there was something creeping up behind them.
“What was that?” said Markof.
“What was wha…” said the old man as he was ripped to shreds by a warewolf. His limbs flying like birds take off when somebody scares them, his blood pouring out of his wound as if he was a little red waterfall.
As Markof stood in awe as the old man was ripped to shreds he heard a hared of Mammoths coming for him and he heard the roar of a dragon coming from behind. It sounded as if he was going into a carnival back in the 1800’s when there were murderous games that were played. The loud noises got Markof nervous.
There he stands in the middle of a warewolf, twelve Mammoths and four dragons. Markof knew that he couldn’t do this. As the beasts came closer and closer, Markof slowly grabbed his sword off his back and stood in the middle waiting for one to make the first move. The dragon, the biggest beast there, started to creep forward, Markof slowly got a good grip on his sword. He lifted it about flush with his ear, he had his elbows locked for more strength. The dragon blew his fire as he was puking at Markof, Markof didn’t move a muscle. When the dragon finished his fire, Markof was scorched.
Right when the fire stopped every beast started to move forward, Markof knew this was going to happen so he dropped his sword and stood waiting to die. As the brutal battle started Markof stood calmly as they ripped, slashed, burned and eaten him alive. Markof knew this Beastblood mishap was a myth, he didn’t want to live a lie, so he took the sacrifice to die and not live his lie that he got from an old man that he met in prison.
