America


If I traveled back in time I wouldn't tell the founding fathers anything because I like how our country already is because we have freedom and we are protected by our army very good and we also have very good school systems our colleges are very good we have good teachers and the schools do as much as they can to make kids get a better education. Alot of things have change over the years like our technology or our schools and jobs. The United States is trying to make our environment better by making electric cars or have less oil spills in the ocean. If our environment was better our lives would be better and our animals would be healthy and there would be no bad chemicals in our meat from the plants.

Our technology has changed by having new computers and weather stuff to detect hurricanes and other types of storms. If we didn't have this technology today our world would be different because we wouldn't know what kind of weather is coming and we wouldn't be able to contact each other because we wouldn't have phones. Other Technology is our cars because cars become safer and they get better gas mileage by our technology. Phones are also getting better by having directions to places in case you get lost and better instant messaging because if its a emergency it will send faster and you get better coverage. The military also got better technology with there guns and their transportation. Their transpiration got better because they put better medal on it so if they get attacked they have better protection. Also their guns got better because theres some guns that have better range and there's also some guns that can bend around a corner and there will be a screen on the gun so they can see around the corner.

The economy can be bad because food and gas prices go up too high and I don't understand why they get so high I think our presidents do as much as they can to lower food prices and gas prices. To me the war got our economy really bad because the government needed to pay for the ammunition and the guns and the vehicles. I think Obama did good at president because he stop the war and he stood up to the terrorist and their leader. I know most people take the elections serious I don't because I don't really care who our president right now because I have nothing to do with it when im at this age, and thats what I would say to the founding fathers.

Touching Spirit Bear Cause and Effect


Author's Note: This writing piece is about analyzing the cause and effect in a book that we read or an event that happens.

The book that I'm going to be analyzing is Touching Spirit Bear because Cole Mathews burned down this shack on a island and he ended up getting hurt because he passed out because of the smoke. After he woke up he saw the white spirit bear a walking by the river.Cole kept yelling at the bear to go away after he got done yelling at the bear he looks around for his knife and he finds it above his head so he grabs it and he look across the stream where the bear was standing and the bear was gone. Later on that night Cole heard this big boom and it was thunder and lighting after he heard that it started to rain really hard so he covered up with a blanket and fell asleep. When he woke up in the morning he removed the blanket and there was trees down and it was really muddy. When he looked at the stream he saw the big spirit Bear just standing there as he looked at the bear he grabbed his knife and the bear started walking his way. Once the bear got to him the bear started clawing him and throwing him around while he gets thrown around his chin hits a rock and he bit his tongue really bad. After the bear stopped attacking him it ran away after the attack Cole passes out. When he wakes back up his tongue is swollen and his arm is broken with scratches all over it.

The effect this event had on the story is that Cole got severely hurt and he burned down the shack so therefore his second chance would be over and he would most likely go to jail. Another effect is that Cole will be scared for life and he would never forget about it. If this would of never happened Cole wouldn't be hurt or scared for the rest of his life and he wouldn't of lost his last chance.

Football Champ Conflicts



Author’s Note: I wrote this essay on the main conflict in Football Champ and explaining how it started and how it gets fixed.
               
In the book Football Champ there are many conflicts but I’m going to talk about one. It starts by Troy playing on a football team and troy’s team had this secret guy for them to go and figure out the other team plays. Later in the season the Troy’s football team makes it to the conference championship when the football team travels to the opponents field they have to take a plane so the whole football team gets drop off at the airport with their coach and they try to find their plane while there in line to get their  tickets a person from the paparazzi pulls troy out of line and runs away to this back room and the person starts to question troy about how they got to the championship and how they always jump the other team plays. Troy didn’t answer any of the questions troy asked if they would let him go and the paparazzi said no we will keep you here until you answer these questions.

Troy took off running looking for his mom and his teammates as he’s running through the airport he sees Tate his teammate and he starts running fast and he finally gets there and he tells his coach what happened  and his coach says just stay by us and it won’t happen again. The conflict of this story is that the Paparazzi tries to take troy and ask him about how they made this far and how they acted like they know the opponents plays. They solve this by keeping an eye on the paparazzi and not make as obvious that they cheat and they try not to do it a lot.

Camping


Author's Note: The reason I chose this moment is because ive always liked camping and I though would be easy to.

Every year my family goes camping with my cousins and friends our cousins are the ones who set the date for camping because we usually go camping around July or early august. Before we go camping we have to go buy food and other camping stuff. Usually it takes awhile to pack the car because we have so much stuff and most of it is big like cots and a tent. This year We had to put the cots on the roof of the car because somehow we ended up with more stuff and we had last year. We need at least one seat up in the back because I sit in one of the back seats.
                                                                                               
Once were all packed up we leave the drive up to camping is about 2 hours. In those 2 hours I usually play my PSP or look out the window. I never really fall asleep on the way up most of the time I’m either really hunger or really bored. Last year we had to keep checking on the cots and the tent because we thought it would fall off on the highway. when we checked the stuff on the top we stop at the truck stop and I found a squishy fake frog on the sidewalk so I took it and I put it in the window and I rolled it up. So it was stuck in the window and some people in different cars were looking at it and laughing . After awhile I asked my mom when were going to be there and she said in about a hour.

I decided to take a nap to make the time go faster so after I woke up I look around and I can tell were almost there because there is usually really cool rocks and there’s a lot of mountains. Once we go around this corner of a big rock I see the driveway of the camp site. Once we pull in there is only a few people because we got there a day early and most people come on the next day. When We got out of the car we started to unpack right away after we put up our tent we put everything in the tent like our cots and the food that we brought. I couldn’t wait until my cousins come because they usually bring the four wheelers after we got done packing I went up by the fire because it was really cold once I got really tired I just went to bed in the tent. When I woke up in the morning my cousins were here and I saw the four wheelers on the trailer and I took it off and I went for a ride and me and my cousin were going up this steep hill and it was muddy and we started to tip back and we in the mud and we got all Muddy.
