Survive to the Finish

 Author's Note: I think who ever is in the army is really brave and has a lot of courage to go out and risk their lives  just for others. 




 Topic: Military

  If I was in the military I would be a marine because they are on the ground and just go in battles on foot. And try to win wars but other things that I could be are Navy and the air force.I wouldn't want to be in the Navy because I don't like going on ships because im afraid of them. Because of crashing into something or sinking that wouldn't be the best thing if that happened.And also if I was in the air force I wouldn't like that because I don't know how to fly and I hate flying and I would probably crash the plane.That's why being in the military can be good but also very dangerous. 

Save & Defend

Author's Note:I think this was really funny and cool that we got to write about this because I really love super hero's

Super Powers:Flying and invisibility



       The reason I picked those powers is because then I can fly and go wherever I want and don't have to worry about cost and economy and stuff like that.Also why i chose that it would be really cool to fly it would be fun to see all the people in danger and i know i could fly and save them.My second power is amazing to do you  can be invisible which means no one can see me. So i could also be flying and invisible so no one could shoot me down and try to kill me. And if i was every getting cornered by a lot of people to take me away and study me i could just go invisible and fly way so i really cant get trapped


And if i wasn't a good superhero and I was bad guy i would fly and be invisible and destroy everything like buildings and other things like cars and banks.But i think i would rather be a good person then bad. No one likes bad people the good hero's are the people to like. Like me if i was a superhero i would be good and not bad to this world.I would be kind and very helpful to this world by cleaning up trash to keep the world clean. And also if there's like a different place then the U.S getting attacked I might help but if they attack us im ready for battle.So that's why having  2 super abilities would be so fun and helpful to our world.

Life or Death

                                  Hunger Games

If you were with 23 other people to fight to the death what would you do? Hunger Games was an action packed book that 24 contests have to fight to the death and whoever wins lives their life of wealth and riches. The Author “Suzanne Collins" was trying to tell the readers what it was like for some people who didn’t have a lot of money or were poor. Then had to put their name in for the games so that they can get food, the more drawings you put in more food you’ll get. Imagine you with 23 other people trying to survive by fighting to the death with only a bow and arrow and a drinking can but empty.

Firstly the 2 main characters in the book are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark who had no clue who each other were. Except once when Peeta through a piece of bread to Katniss to eat sense she’s poor. Otherwise they both become the tributes from district 12 and to sell to win the games they trick everyone by thinking they are star cross lovers so that they could get sponsors to help them when hurt. But it actually turned out that they did start to love each other in the end.

 Until they got back from the games they didn’t really talk to each other that much.Katniss and Peeta were more friends than dating type but they had to tell everyone that Gale was their cousin. Or else it would cause a big deal with the press and even Katniss.If they didn’t then that would ruin their lives forever because Gale and Katniss have a thing and now Katniss and peeta kind of have a thing .so to make it real they just said Gale was the cousin so that there wasn’t any drama going around in the capitol.

What Suzanne did to make this book really interesting and to pull the reader in was the drama and the action and how the star cross lovers how they survive the games was just glorious. If you had to fight with 23 other people wouldn’t you think it would be hard to kill people u don’t even know? Suzanne did really well on the hunger games and I hope she does better on the second and third one. So far in the second one has been fantastic but has a lot of drama going on and the third one I hope it will be even better.

What do the People Want?

Author's Note:i think this essay was really good I studied websites looking at charts and alot more i think it did really good on this essay.   

Alaska's Drilling

If you could drill for more oil in Alaska would you? Personally i wouldn't drill in Alaska because of the environment in Alaska it is really good they have nice air and lots of trees but if you try to drill for oil the Wolf's,grizzly bears and polar bears and also a shaggy musk ox the mammoth like creature that is from the last ice age and maybe people might die from oil spills..Also trees could get cut down and get rid of that nice air with oil air no one likes that smell and then people will move away . Instead of being a state it will just be a oil factory but outside i mean come on seriously this Alaskan oil debate has been going on sense 1977 that's a long time and finally has made its breaking point.




In Alaska they have really good forests for animals and trees so that people can breathe but if are economy takes that away that's just sad. Why cant we just find a different place to drill or at least ask one of our allies like Canada or Asia their a big Continent what about them they have oil too why cant we ask them for some and give them money in return. But i guess that’s not going to happen sense their on a breaking point of drilling in Alaska.What i don't get is why are we drilling their in the first place if we really need oil then we should just ask someone else its not that hard.




The only reason I think drilling would  kinda help us is because if we got alot of oil the gas prices would go down.And instead of them being 4 dollars they be like back down to 3 dollars which is really good. Because if we don't lower the prices of gas in like 2016 their going to be like 5 to 6 dollars and that's really expensive.Also we would get people more jobs if we get more oil which is really good.




But also if we did drill it wouldn't last that long ,the most it could last is 6 months .That's not long so it wouldn't be worth it to just drill down a wildlife for just are economy to do better for 6 months and then crash back down after 6 months.So i would rather just have the economy that we have now then having it get better and then crash even farther then it is now after 6 months.Also if we did drill and crash down after 6 months it would been harder to get back up we would have to spend a ton of money tyring to get oil so that are economy could get better.




As you can see drilling in Alaska is a horrible thing to do on my opinion.If i was the president i would definitely not drill in Alaska because of all the problems that would go wrong if we drilled in Alaska. So in the conclusion I feel like drilling in Alaska would be the worst thing to do right now in the untied states because it would make us in so much debt.

Percy Jackson And The Lighting Theift

Author's Note:I think that i could of done better i did fix it up yesterday to make it sound better but i think i could still do better on this essay.                                  

                               mysterious



I believe that this book is one of the best books that Ive ever read because they also made a movie about this book but change it up a little bit between  the movie and the book has more steps. How the book has more steps than the movie is that the movie begins that  Percy is underwater and he held his breathe for like 15 minutes that's a long time!!!!.And in the book they start off in their social studies class room those are to different beginnings isn't that weird.Also out of the two I like the movie better.The movie was Amazing I loved the movie so much it was the best if they could make a second movie I would definitely be going to see it.


The reason I liked the movie better it was because of Chris Columbus who directed the movie he did a fantastic job on telling about the Gods and how important they were in are world and how they still are.But Rick Riordan the person who wrote the book Percy Jackson and the Lighting Theft also did a good job on telling about the gods to. But the book and the movie were different in ways like the book in the end after Percy and the girl and his mom got out of the underworld the book pretty much ended.Although for the movie  When they got out of the underworld and went to go give Zeus his bolt back  but Luke from camp half-blood didn't want that to happen so him and Percy fought each other but Percy ends up winning against Luke and gave the bolt to Zeus.



So that’s one of the ways the movie and book are different between the two but also theirs a series for the book theirs more than one book .And for the movie theirs only one movie but I wish they will make a second one because it was a really good movie  even the ratings were good it got 4 out of 5 stars to me that’s a good movie.And for the book it also did good but to me i think the movie did better because the whole movie just was really good to me.But the book was good to i will give it that because they wouldn't a have made a series of books if the first one was bad so that's why i think it did good.


But in the book it could of had a better ending like its ending was good. But it wasn't the best it could of just had the ending like the movie its ending was fantastic it had the best ending of a movie Ive seen in a long time.All because of the action in the movie it made the ending better and serious it was either Luke or Percy gonna have a bolt with alot of power .And if Luke got it the world in the movie wouldn't be a happy place but Percy got it and returned it to Zeus where it belongs.So that’s why I liked the movie alot and the book to they were bot really good.     

The unbeliveable

   Author's Note: I think Currie did a amazing job on telling football fans what Adrian Peterson is all about.


                     The Sport of Inches  

Adrian Peterson, number 28 in a purple jersey,  is the all-pro!  He is currently  the running back for the Minnesota Vikings. Although sadly this year he could not finish his season because he injured his right knee, tearing his ACL and MCL. Despite this career threatening injury  the author, Stephan Currie, did a amazing job of telling football fans what Adrian Peterson is all about in his short article in The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Stephan Currie did an amazing job explaining about  Adrian Peterson and he told us that Adrian isn't giving up that he is a fighter. Peterson  had surgery and is doing great in rehab to get back and ready for next year.Also Currie told us about what Adrian Peterson has accomplished in football throughout his whole football career. And that is he was one of the finalist in the Heisman trophy but sadly came short to win the Heisman.He lost to Matt Leinart by 328 votes.


Furthermore I wish Peterson  would of won because he would have had alot better stats on his record of football. And it would be a great thing to accomplish to win the Heisman and do what he does today or at least when he comes back.What he also did was he had two brothers and both of them died one of them because they got hit by a car and the other brother died because of murder. Peterson had a rough childhood he had a dad and a mom but rarely ever saw his dad but at Adrian's first NFL game at Minneapolis ,Minnesota when Adrian got his first touchdown he saw his dad their i the crowd in the first row cheering for him and seeing him for the first time in a long time.Sadly after that Adrian barely ever saw his dad after that i feel so bad for him to miss his dad like that.


That is how i think Currie did a amazing because he told the football fans that Adrian is getting better and told us  some of his accomplishments and also his childhood.Stephan Currie is the amazing author on telling all about Adrian Peterson because he nailed this article to perfection.If he could do another article on like joe mauer my favorite baseball player i would like that one to that's how much I liked this article that Currie did on Adrian Peterson.
