Dear Freshy
Dear next year’s Freshmen:
Next year you will have to do your work to become successful, like every grade but your Freshmen year really counts. You should take good notes it will make your life A LOT better and easier also. There is not too much home work but just do it and get it over with, then you won’t have to do summer school or even repeat the grade because it is bad enough the first time.
Your 9th grade year will also fly by because you get a way better talent show, you have the opportunity to go to pep rallies and most of your classes are mostly fun, which makes it a lot easier to go back to that class. Even though you will have some classes that you absolutely despise of you still have to go to them.
Sincerely,
Zach

"Love Story"
By Taylor Swift
Your heart is pounding!! You can’t wait to see someone and your dad won’t let you see them!!! The song that I choose was “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. I think that the two people in this song are really in love.
This song is about two people really in love and Juliet’s dad won’t let Romeo talk to her, but she really likes him. Then Juliet sneaks out to the garden to see Romeo. For example “So I sneak out to the garden to see you.” Also, they are quiet so Juliet’s would not here them “We keep quiet cause we’re dead if they knew.”
This song is an excellent representation of the play Romeo and Juliet because in the play they have only been together for five hours, and in the song they met at a party and they have not known each other for very either. Also in the play Juliet’s father does not know about Romeo, and in the song Juliet’s father does not approve of Romeo. That is why I think this song is an excellent representation of the play Romeo and Juliet.
In conclusion there are many songs and people that take after the play Romeo and Juliet. Also, if the word “love” is mentioned anywhere in everyday life they immediately think of the play Romeo and Juliet.

March Free
ZOOOOOOOOM!! There goes a four wheeler. There goes a Z400 with J. Bender on it. Then there goes a 450 Es with Z. Van Winkle on it. Then there goes a kfx400 putting down the road with W. Warner on it.
Four wheelers
Honda are the best
Because in a race a Honda will win any day
My UTILITY four wheeler
Will beat a SPORT four wheeler
Any day of the week
Although J. Bender did put up a fight
I beat him on the home stretch……..
But, only by a few inches
We basically left W. Warner
On the kfx 400 in the dust
At the starting line.
Then all three of us had a wheelie contest
And………….
W. Warner won that challenge.
Then all three of us had a jumping contest
And…………
J. Bender took first with that challenge.
That is why Honda four wheelers are the best
Although J. Bender and W. Warner did win a few
Honda are still the best at racing.
And that is how the cookie crumbles!!

Peterbilt and kenworth are healthy trucks. Then Western Star and ford are the non healthy trucks. This is a symbloic representation of trucks compared to healthy people. Read this and you will see what truck you are comparable to by your health!!!
1)A peterbilt big truck – A strong healthy person
2)A Kenworth big truck – A fit person that is not so healthy ( average person)
3)A Western Star big truck –Obese person
4)A Ford truck – A person that can’t even get out of bed because they are so obese
In conclusion, that is the the symbloic representation of trucks to healthy people!!!!

What if you were a retard and you were treated like one? That’s why Marxist would criticize the short story Here's Herbie by Mike Feder.
The first reason why a Marxist would criticize this short story is because the narrator treats Herbie as a retard. For example “So this retard is now steering the train.”
The second reason why a Marxist would criticize this short story is because on the train the narrator is riding all of the richer people sit in the front of the train. For example “here’s this guy, a retard, a jerk, and I am so brilliant, I do well in school, I am handsome….”
In conclusion that is why a Marxist would criticize this short story.

Mr. Halloway’s Personalities
Mean, nice, cranky, miserable are all great ways to describe a person. In the book Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradburythere are many characters that have many different kinds of personality traits. Mr. Charles Halloway, one of the main characters, has many great personality traits. For example some of the best personality traits that describe Charles are he is very responsible, he is caring, and finally he is a very dull man.
The first personality trait that suits Mr. Halloway would be that he is very responsible. The first reason why this is a suitable trait for Mr. Halloway is because he goes to work every day. For example in chapter twenty he goes to his job every day which is being a janitor at the library “and he knew it would be just a matter of time before that light went on in the library across town” (Bradbury 91). The second reason why this is a quality trait for Mr. Halloway is because he is around for his son. For example in chapter twenty-eight Will asked his dad if he was a good person and Mr. Halloway actually sat down and talked to Will. The third and foremost reason why this is a good trait for Mr. Halloway is because he is responsible for his son’s actions. For example in chapter twenty-seven he told Jim and Will to go back and apologize to Miss. Foley. Even though Mr. Halloway did leave his son a couple of times to go to the library, he is still very responsible. They are all examples of why Mr. Halloway is responsible.
The second personality trait that is suitable for Mr. Halloway is he is very caring. The first reason why this is a trait that describes Mr. Halloway is because he cares where his son is at and what he was doing. For example in chapter thirty-three Will called his dad and told him that he would not be home that night and Charles went out to look for Will “And he put on his coat and hat and went out into the strange bright rainy sunshine that filled the cold air” ( Bradbury 163). The second reason why this is a suitable trait for Mr. Halloway is because he is very protective of his son. For example in chapter thirty-five when Jim and Will were hiding in the grille Mr. Halloway looked up at the court house clock, so that no one would know that they were down there. The third and final reason why this trait describes Mr. Halloway is because he cares about the safety of Will. For example in chapter forty Jim, Will, and Mr. Halloway were at the library Mr. Halloway heard a strange noise and told Jim and Will to hide so that they would be safe. Even though Mr. Halloway is caring he never really cared where his son was, but he did care that he was safe. They are all reasons why caring describes Mr. Halloway.
The third personality trait that describes Mr. Halloway is dull. Mr. Halloway is a dull guy because he never does anything new. For example in chapter three it said “he turned into the corner saloon for his nightly one and only drink” (Bradbury 18). The second reason why this is a good trait that describes Mr. Halloway is because all he does is read when he goes to the library. For example in chapter thirty-seven when the boys went to see Mr. Halloway at the library he was explaining all the books that he has read to Jim and Will. The third reason why this is a good trait for Mr. Halloway is because he just hangs out at the library. For example in chapter eight he went to the library late at night because he is an extremely dull man. Al though Mr. Halloway is a dull guy he likes to read books and reading is exciting, but still he is very dull man. These are all reasons why Mr. Halloway is dull.
Sad, happy, confused, and spunky are fantastic ways to describe someone. Mr. Halloway has many different kinds of personality traits. In the book Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury Mr. Halloway is responsible, caring, and dull, and these are all great ways to describe him.

3rd Time’s a Charm
3rd person omniscient:
Bill and Bob were strolling through town when they saw an elkaboo. Out of nowhere Bill "Screamed ELKABOO"! Bill started to run after it so he could ride it. Then Bob thought "WOW that would be awesome to ride an elkaboo". So Bob started to run after it also.
Before they knew it Joe, the owner of the elkaboo started to run after them with a shotgun in his hands. Joe was very irritated that they were chasing after his elkaboo again; it was the second time in two weeks. Bill and Bob saw him and said “It is time to get out of here”. They bolted out of the fenced in area where the elkaboo was and were back on their original trip through town.

Your driving down the highway eighty miles an hour and you hear the whimpy sound of a highbred car. You think to your self wow I am glad I am in a big truck
Super Smoker Big Trucks
I am writting this fantastic poem
to conduct my feelings to you
about super smoker big trucks
Would you rather a cool styling big truck.
Or a highbred match box car.
Peterbilt, Kenworth, Western Star.
Are all beautiful trucks.
They can be old.
They can be new.
But they are all still super smoker big trucks.
Cat, Cummins and Mercedes Benz.
Are all good engines.
They can also be old.
Or they can also be new.
But they are still great engines.
Eaton fuller
Is a good transmission.
It can be old.
Or it can be new.
But that does not mean a thing.
It is still a trustworthy transmission.

Rural or Urban
Pay attention to me
Attention Getter Number One: General to specfic
The sound of screeching tires coming to a stop. Then you hear the ear piercing sound of the fire trucks, cop cars, and ambulances rushing to the scene. You think to yourself oh no I hope my children are safe. Then you find out that it was your children, but luckly they are ok. That is a perfect reason to raise your kids in the rural, and is exactly what I am going to do because they will be more safe, they have a bigger play area, and finally it is more quiet than the city.
Capital Punishment
Attention Getter number two: Question
Would you let convicted killer get a roof over their head, and three meals a day for killing your best friend? Wouldn’t you want them to get punished? Wouldn’t you want to get revenge on them? I one hundred and ten percent agree that they should be killed for what they have done because if you go to jail they would a roof over their head, they would get three meals a day, and finally they will pay for what they did.

Some bad people can be good
Theme- I think the theme of the "The Djin Who Lives between Night and Day" is some bad people can also be good.
How it applies to the story- Al- faq told the guy to walk south and Al- faq would bring back his family, but the guy could never talk or see them ever again.
How it applies to real life- For examle Robin Hood stole money, but then he gave it to the poor.

Can you guess what I did last summer?
Last summer I went to a competition skeet and trap shoot in State College Pennsylvania. I had a great time and I shot great also. On the game skeet I shot twenty-three out of twenty-five targets. On skeet that is the highest score I have ever shot and was pretty proud of it. For the game trap I shot twenty-five out of twenty-five targets. With a combined score of forty-eight out of fifty targets I placed first out of fifty juniors. Also with that score I placed second out of one hundred kids in all. That was a huge accomplishment for my shooting career. Next year I will be of age to go to nationals if I shoot as good as I did this year I will make it on the team. One of my buddies’ that I shoot with made it to nationals and I was very excited for him.
Then after all that excitement all of my team and I went to Hoss’s steak house for a fantastic steak dinner. It was GREAT. Then on our way home that night I went by my local fire station and there was a congratulations saying “congrats Zach for placing second place at the 4-H Sate shoot.” I thought that was pretty cool. That is what I did last summer and had a great time doing it.
