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.

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.

Adrian Peterson


Adrian Peterson is like my idol if didn't have him to look up to for football.I would have no one to inspire me to become a Pro football player.He is like the best running back that I've ever seen but now he cant play for a while because he tore his ACL and MCL .At he end of this season so now he is out for the whole preseason and the first couple games next year I feel so bad for him.If i was him i would be so mad at myself because alot of people would want to see me play but now they cant because i cant walk on both of my feet.


in Adrian’s rookie year in the pros he won the rookie of the year award and broke the record for most rushing yards in a game that amazing!. I wish I could be him because he does really good and alot of people appreciate him.But the second year as a pro he broke his collar bone while running into the end zone. Gosh! i feel so bad for him if i could see him when he got hurt so i could help him.

The Sport Of Inches

Authors Note: I think i did really good on this piece because i do want to become a NFL Player because then people will appreciate me who is on my team .

Football

This picture inspires me to become a NFL football player because I am good now but when I grow up I want to be in the pros because Can get big money. And Have people wear my jersey because I am good on the team that I get drafted onto. But first i have to go to collage for at least 3 years.Also you have to play football in collage so NFL scouts can see if you are worthy to go to the NFL combine and then the NFL Draft to get drafted on to a team.I would want to go to Madison to play for Wisconsin badgers I love them their amazing then if i was good enough I would want to get drafted on to the New England Patriots They are like my favorite team in the NFL.That is how this picture inspires me.

Skateboard

Aouther's note:i think that snowboarding is better than skateboarding but i still think this story was pretty good.


skateboards are amazing their like snowboards but not a snowboard because snowboards are boss they are really cool .Because you can go down hills and go off jumps.but were not doing snowboards were doing skateboards with amazing wheels but you have to have have skateboarding shoes to use a skateboard well they r pretty cool because you can grid of off of stuff and do flips with your skateboard
