3 facts and 1 Fiction

Author’s Note: Everyone in the class wrote down 3 facts about yourself and 1 fiction thing. My statement was " I went two New York." Do you think I went to New york. Comment and Let me know what you think.

New York. New York. The most wonderful place to be. At the age of 7 my family and I went and visited New York City. We saw a the play Wicked, the statue of Liberty, Central Park and Niagara Falls. Going to New york was one of the best trips I have ever been on. There were so many fun things to do. The only downfall was when the night came I started to get scared, there were a lot of people on the streets. I would always run to the front and grab my dad’s hand so I could feel protected. The city lights shined upon us as we walk through the park. The view is is special and unique. Boom! Boom! Colorful lights appeared in the night sky. “Fireworks!” My sister cried. As I bundled up in the blanket, the joy inside began rise. This was a amazing;one of the best feeling in the world. As days passed I gradually got used to all of the loud noise along the streets. Bands playing on every corner, little shops and stores, restaurants, lined up one by one all the way down Time Square. Taxis out of control, stray animals stealing food. It all happens in New York. My favorite memory on the trip was the Statue of Liberty. Riding all the way to the top,  overlooking the beautiful city. At first I was a little nervous going 305 feet and 6 inches stories high. But it was all worth it. The view was spectacular. Leaving The Big Apple was sad, because of all the good memories and fun we had as a family, but coming home was great too......But now the real question is; Did my family and I really go the New York City? 

 

Hero or Villain

Author’s Note: Hero v.s. Villain? Which are you? Our group decided to write about a superhero power we would want to have. Out of the many possibilities I think I choose the best. Hope you enjoy!

Everyone has that time in their life where they run around the room with their red cape on pretending to be Superman. As you are flying through the air; fighting the villains and saving the world with special powers to protect everything and everyone.  Combining all of those super powers into one would make someone quite the superhero.  A crusader, who is a major threat, that no one from the dark side ever wants to meet.  Able to fly at mach speeds, massive strength, the ability to re-size, quickness to escape any villains attack, and more. I want these super powers to protect helpless victims under attack from the evil powers.  My abilities to prevent crimes and keep peace and order, would make me an UNSTOPPABLE force. 

Past~Present~Future

 Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a gift
That's why its called the
Present

Author’s Note: Our Group decided to pick our favorite quote and describe what it means to me. I picked this quote because it  reminds me that no matter what happens your life is still important and just keep living it and good things will happen. Enjoy!

I like this quote because it reminds me of the good and bad times in your life and no matter what happens you can just move on, forget about the past and just worry about the present and future. Things happen in life and sometimes you just have to overlook all the bad and remember the great. I love this quote because it always tells me that I may have the worst day, but tomorrow is a new day. When I first found this quote my basketball team lost in the semifinal game in state last year. We wanted to win so badly and it just didn’t happen. I was really disappointed. I found this quote and thought “this is so true. So I forgot about the loss and remembered that the season is not over, go finish it off the right way. This quote reminded me that even though bad times go on in your life, you just have to shake it off and continue on with your life, because you may think it’s the end....but its not.

The Game Never Ends

I dribble down the court
Basketball is my favorite sport
I shoot
I score
Let’s play some more
The sidelines rout
As I hear a tute
Running down the floor
we score some more
Playing hard core
D-fence is no problem
As we wear our emblem
We will never lose
Until our days are due

Alaska DBQ Essay

Author's Note: Drilling for oil in America's Wildlife is a big issue when the the government does not know whether or not to continue the beauty or take up space. This essay was a little harder to write knowing it was a grade for two classes.


Over many years America has been questioning if we should drill for oil in the great outdoors of Alaska. The government has many reasons for why and why not to drill over the 1.5 million acre stretch along the shore where the oil is known to be. The Inupiat Eskimo people have watched this oil and gas develop. They know that this development can affect many animals, natural resources and overpower some of their lives. Since this I think that the government should not drill for oil until a later time when it is needed.


America has been known for many dreadful oil spills like the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 where 4.9 million barrels were released out into the open water says Deepwater Horizon oil spill. If another one of these crises’ would happen similar to the oil spill 2006 where 267,000 gallons of oil was spilled over 1.9 million acres of the Prudhoe Bay. According to the article Prudhoe Bay oil spill to clean this mess up it would roughly cost 100 million dollars. To drill oil itself with or without machines, it is a lot of money already and to have to use even more money to stop the oil from spreading it would be a bigger loss of money than it already is. In this case why not wait until America really needs the oil. The United States could use this money for many other things, like shelters, education or other important needs that we need for our country.


People think that not many people live in Alaska because of the weather changes along with many other reasons, but I would beg to differ.Numerous people and animals live in this colorful scenery. Many animals like polar bears, grizzlies, Arctic wolves, caribou and the endangered shaggy musk ox, along with several more would lose their habit; some might even get split up from their groups. This sanctuary is so important for the animals because they all have their young on this place known as the “Birthing ground.” Therefore different parts of the wilderness would then be missing.


Despite the fact that drilling for the oil could be a problem for the animals, it could also affect humans as well. The development can take place on the private and public lands inside of the Coastal Plain. Which means buildings, roads, houses, ect could possibly be torn down. Not only will citizens of the area disagree, many people would not like the fact that they might have to move. In this case there would be no way the government could per sew with the drilling


Mother Nature is never to be touched and I feel that drilling for oil would be the wrong thing to do, because of the various animals living there, and for people to live right in the area too. The risk of a spill could be bad financially. Overall the government should not drill for oil in Alaska, and secure the oil until it is needed.
