Unconditional Love


Author's Note: I had wrote this poem just for fun and I was super pumped to write this because I love my mom and dad very much..I hope you enjoy it and if you have anything you want to say there is a comment box below

Mom, Dad, thank you for being there,
supporting me, no matter what.
I walk more closely with Christ because you care.
Words cannot describe the help you've brought.
 
Ups or downs, you show me unconditional love
and full support every single day.
No matter my choices, you still hold me above
any imperfect things I might do or say.
 
Every child of yours has a place and a part,
no matter the good and the bad we go through.
I love how you love us with all of your heart;
how you love ME, no matter what I do.
 
Appreciation so strong I don't have the words,
and love that never changes,
soars for you in my heart like the flight of a bird!
You can't imagine how great its range is.
 
Hopefully this gift will make you smile;
I do what I can in return for this love.
And over every smooth or bumpy mile,
this love is forever, with help from above.

What I think Will Happen...

Author's Note: This is my prediction piece. In the reading lab we had to write what we thought what was going to happen to Cody and this is what I thought. So I hope you enjoy this and leave a comment if you think I need to fix anything

I think that the story will end like this...As the boy is running away back to his house I think that he changes and realizes that he should do what the man told him to do. I think if he does this he will get good out of it or in return. If Cody doesn't put the gold hook in the cast it  I think something bad might happen to Cody (such as haunted and other stuff). When Cody gets ready for bed, I believe that something will happen to him and he will either put the hook in Clarence's cast it or he will not.


As Cody rushed home he still has that repeating thought pondering in his mind. He doesn't know what he should do. Cody has two different feels going on. In the inside of Cody he screaming "I am finally not poor I have money."

Changes Affects People Too

Author's Notes: Katniss never really been the person to open up to other people. But this piece really make you think on how Katniss changes throughout her Hunger Games experience.

Katniss Everdeen has impacted many people within her district and the community. She has impacted people with her bravery, for volunteering for her sister. Katniss was well known for what she did to save her sister. When Katniss went to the interviews the whole audience had came up with a name for her “The Girl on Fire.” The name never left her side.

Katniss has changed throughout the story. She really has never been the person to be open to other people; she was more the type of person that was quiet and really wasn’t a social butterfly. She has a huge impact on the people because the more people that liked her  the more gifts that she got to make Hunger Games easier.

Inside Scoop of Your Founding Fathers


Authors Note: This is not that easy to come up with something to write about our founding fathers. So I really that to think and this is what I came up with . I hope you enjoy

“The harder the conflict, the greater the triumph.” George Washington. Imagine talking to one of the first presidents that would be such and honor.  Being able to talk with one of our 44 president would be such a privilege.  Especially talking to one of our very first presidents. 

For me it would be such a great pleasure to talk George Washington because he was a very first president.  In one case he was chosen to lead the Continental Army. That would be the most significant feeling in the world to be chosen to lead the Continental Army in war. In addition I would also thank you for being such a wonderful role model He got things done when they were supposed to get done; he just did everything he was supposed to do. You know what really catches me off guard is... how did George Washington get things done within a certain time period? As a president I think it would be really hard to do, because with all that pressure for being the first president. Just think how hard it would be trying to run a country but then having a meeting to worry about. I grantee that a lot of people can relate to this; I think that people can relate because there is a lot of pressure with having to get something done within a period of time.

With having that pressure to worry about might as well add some more because he had to keep his country safe from any harm. Personally I don't think I could make it in the office for 4 years as a president. I think it would be extremely hard, but I'm glad that we have a president like George Washington, if we didn't what type of world would we be. Mr. Washington did such a good job in whatever he did. He was a great role model for those around him. He set goals for him that he was able to achieve. If I was to have a chance to sit down and talk to him I don’t think I would be able to find any flaws that he has. As a president  he was honest. He did everything he was told.

Many different people would have different things to say to him or to ask him. That's okay. I know that in my own opinion that he was a great first president. I would have to spend a whole day with him just to ask him all my question and how much I appreciate his hard work toward his country. 

His loyalty, his hard working and goals that he set for himself made people realize that we need more presidents like this. The people will always remember George Washington as a hard working president. I really appreciate all the work and hard dedication that he put toward his country. Thank you George Washington

Hunger Games: Cause and Effect


Author's Note: Mrs. Mundt gave us an assignment and that was to do a cause and effect, at first I thought that this would be a challenged. I thought it over and I was like I could do the book the Hunger Games so I did and this is what I said.

In the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen's sister Prim was chosen as one of the tributes to fight; Katniss promised Prim that she wouldn't get picked as one of the tributes. To keep her promised Katniss volunteered for Prim. In the Hunger there are 24 tributes, 2 from each district all 24 tributes will fight until one is left as the victor. 

Suzanne Collins has made the effect extremely clear in this story. If Katniss won't have volunteered for her sister; Katniss probably wouldn't have never saw her sister again. I say that because I have seen the movie and read the book that the older tributes will kill the younger ones first.

Conflict & Resolution: Forgotten


Author's Note: This book is started off with... At 4:33 am London's memory will be erased and she will not remember anything to help her with this she finds some friends and finds a boy that will help her and encourage her.

In the book Forgotten, at 4:33 am everything in London's head is erased . As she enters the day she can't even remember what she did the day before.  London and her mom aren't super close; which this means that it will be harder to talk about these things with her mom. On the other hand she doesn't have many friends to fall back on.


In the book she has to find some way to help herself remember things. To solve conflict every night before she went to bed she wrote in a journal to remember the things that she did that day. Later in the book London has found a guy that likes her for who she is and is willing to help her remember the things they did together and even just to remember what she did that very day.

The Truth With Being Wrong

Author’s Note: Will anybody know what the difference between right and wrong, a lot of people will think its wrong but who is to tell you it’s not. I wrote this piece because I really needed to get this story out. I think people need to know not everybody is going to think everybody is right. Many people will think that you are doing something wrong but you really aren't.

Right and wrong. What’s the difference? Some people may think you are doing something wrong, but at the same time you probably wouldn't care what the punishment is. Take it from somebody that might know what it feels like. I can tell you a little bit of my story that reflect right and wrongs and what your may be punishment.

My friend and I had gone to Fox Brook Park and it was around middle of March where the water was still frozen. My friend had suggested that we go on the ice with our bikes and at that point I did go but I knew that there was some type of feeling inside of me telling me not to go, Idid it anyways. My friend was already biking on the ice like there was no tomorrow.... then was that weird feeling in me that I knew that something wasn’t right, but instead I totally ignored that feeling. Then at that moment I hear my friend shout "Come on Maria, it's not like we will get in trouble for doing this" "Brooke shouted to me.

As I was waiting on the edge of the ice I heard Brooke call me again “Maria come on, nothing is going to happen.” I went on the ice not even thinking about what is going to happen. Just a couple minutes after I was on the ice with Brooke we heard something shout in the distance “You guys better get off the ice before I call the cops.” We didn’t think that she was going to call the cops, but we did as she said and got off the ice. As we were biking home we saw a cop driving through the walkways asking people if they knew who was on the ice. When the cop made it to us he first asked us if we were the people on the ice. I didn’t know what to say so I lied and said no we were not on the ice with your bikes. Then he asked if we knew the people on the ice and we answered no we did not.

Me and Brooke raced home, we didn’t know if the cop was going to follow us or not, we just didn’t know what to expect. When we got home we promised each other that we wouldn’t tell anybody this story. From that day forward I have not told anybody this story, until I wrote this piece. When Brooke left my house and went home I really didn’t know why I was that scared we couldn’t have gotten in trouble for doing something that we didn’t know that it was wrong.

How are people supposed to know that they are doing something wrong without knowing it is? That’s the problem, Brooke and I didn’t know that it was wrong until somebody said we were not supposed to go the ice. Even though we didn’t know it was wrong other people thought it was. Which is perfectly okay because not everybody will think it is okay to do things that we are doing.
