The Wonderful Adventures of Michaela

Once upon a time there was beautiful princess named Michaela. She had two sisters named Alexandra and Katarina. Her father was King Bob, and her mother was Queen Debbie, and Michaela was the favorite of their daughters. This made Alexandra and Katarina very angry.
One day when Michaela took her pet pig Ryan for a walk Alexandra and Katarina went into town. As they walked through town they came across the town’s witch. The witch gave the sister a potion that would get rid of Michaela for good. When the sisters got home they found that Michaela had made them a nice lunch of all of their favorites, wild boar, their favorite pink lemonade, tomato soup, and tons of dessert.
The sisters couldn’t figure out why Michaela had done this so they asked,
“Michaela why have you made us this wonderful food?”in reply Michaela said,
“Because I love you sillies!”
After Michaela said this, it got the girls really upset, because they tried to get rid of her. So the two decided to get rid of the potion, and all three of the girls lived happily ever after like good sisters should.

Sanchez the King Penguin

Once upon a time in 1592 there was a Penguin named Sanchez. He was raised as a prince, he had servants, many friends, was the fattest kid in the kingdom. Everyone was jealous of him and his awesomeness, but other than being in line for the kingdom he had a pretty normal childhood.
When Sanchez was ready to take the throne from his father Optimist Prime, the villagers were outraged. They did not want Sanchez to be king because they were jealous of his totally awesomeness. This made Sanchez very angry. He declared war on all of the towns people. After many seconds of war Sanchez was defeated by a young girl that lived in the village, her name was Jasmine. When she defeated him she dragged him to a large catapult that the villagers were creating outside of the Castle of Ice Castle in the city of Antarctica. Jasmine tossed him into the catapult and lunched him into space, and that is the story of how Sanchez became a constellation.
Many people believe that Sanchez is still up in the sky ruler of the other constellations. They also believe that he isn’t exactly the ruler because nobody listens to his rules. We believe that the constellations tried to throw him farther into space, but no other constellations wanted him so they were stuck with him thinking that he was their king.
To find this constellation you must first find the big dipper and then move down to the bottom of the spoon then you go down to the tip of the little dipper and that is the tip of Sanchez’s crown. This constellation is only shown during the winter right above Antarctica where the ruins of the Castle of Ice Castle are.

Basically...

It was a bright and sunny day. I decided it would be a great day to go to the beach and go tanning. I hopped on my bike a peddled there. I laid out a spot on the beach for my towel and plopped down onto my stomach. I closed my eyes and just laid there.
After awhile I felt something drip down my back. I opened my eyes and then felt hands moving up an down it. I turned my head and saw this guy standing there rubbing sun screen on my back. This wasn't just a normal guy though, this was a full on NERD! He had large black chunky glasses covering his very small unappealing face, his skin was as white as a ghost, and his swim trunks weren't even trunks it was a Speedo! Eww…I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit!!!
I screamed and backed away, "What do you think your doing?!?!?!"
"My lady seemed to be getting a little sunburned. I just wanted to protect her with SPF 55." he said almost like a Star Wars movie.
Where is the convention?!
"Eww! Nasty! Get away from me stalker!!!"
"I'm not a stalker! I'm just a citizen trying to protect you fine lady from the evil sun rays!!!" he said with I giant snort of his nose.
I slapped him and ran away screaming. I hopped on my bike and went home.
What a nerd!!!

The Tales of the Hotties

Once upon a time there were two beautiful amazing girls at a fair. They were strolling around minding their own business when suddenly two SUPER HOT guys strolled on by. The two girls immediately started stalking them, but after awhile they grew tired of them so the set off to eat because they love eating. They sat of the swing of the playground near the fair, and ate. The two SUPER HOT guys came over though and sat on the playground set near the monkey bars. THEY WERE STALKING US!!! We asked them their names. They were Justin(Beiber(not related to THE Justin Beiber) and Rupert. Both were very hot, but Rupert was especially delicious. We found out later that Justin Beiber was in 5th grade though he looked like he was in 6th and Rupert was in 8th grade which was the same grade level as what they were in. So the girls got their numbers and be-friended them on facebook, and are now planning to hang out with them this summer. :)

So...what's up?

Sitting alone in a dark closet. I reach for my cell phone and start to type in a number: 6061102. This was the number. I start to write out my txt.
Hey, wats up?
I sit there and await for the message back. Soon my phone buzzes and I quickly open my phone back up.
Hanging outside, u?
What a dare devil. To actually be outside and not feel any fear at all. He was absolutely amazing.
I replied back.
Nm.
I replied with this hoping that we could talk about us rather than just what we were doing.
Oh, that's kool. Hahaha
He replied.
This was my chance to finally ask him. It was now or never.
Be cool Courtney, be cool.
Look, I relly like u ad I hope tht u like me too because if u did tht would be relly kool and I think tht we would make and awesome couple considering tht ur...well...like RELLY hot and stuff and im pretty hot too, not trying to be modest, but relly I am. So I think it would be relly special if u asked me out. And just so u know this isnt me asking u out this is me just telling u tht I like u and tht it would be relly kool if u asked me out… so yea ig tht is it.
BTW ur sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot;)

I waited for his text back, and I waited…
And waited…
And waited…
No reply back for like a whole 10 minutes!!!
Maybe he doesn't like me back. Maybe I was being to forward when I said that he was hot. What if I go back to school and he makes fun of me?!?!
Questions where rolling through my head when finally my phone buzzed.
He was calling me?
Maybe he wanted to hear my lovely voice when he asked me out! Yes! That must be it!
I quickly grabbed my phone and answered.
"Hello!"
"Hey it's Jason."
"Oh, yea I know!"
I couldn't believe he was talking to me!!!
"Yea, about your message…it was like really creepy."
I heard laughing in the background.
"What?...what do you mean?!"
"I mean I don't like you. Your really ugly. Plus I have a girlfriend already! Which means your so uncool to even hear that I have one."
I felt my heart pump fast as he said every word. How could I have been so dumb! Of course he has a girlfriend! Why wouldn't he? He is cute, smart, and popular.
I was so embarrassed. I quickly hung up the phone. I took a deep breath, and grabbed the book that was laying on the floor next to me in my closet.
I flipped open a page. I instantly saw Marcus. He was so hot. I laid the page open and grabbed out the student phone directory, and found his number.
I reached for my cell phone and typed in the number: 503114...

Stalker Locker

I stand outside of your locker everyday a half hour before the bell rings before everyone else to come in and grabs their items from their locker. A minute before the bell rings I sniff it, and kiss your locker goodbye, knowing that when you are there the sight will be even more glorious. I walk across from the locker to my own. Soon the bell rings and the hallways fill up with students. I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and get held back by a long kiss on my lips. Who knew that this glorious guy would actually be my boyfriend.

Dinosaur Marathon

Over Spring Break I did many things, but one of my favorite was hangout with Leah Thomson. In the afternoon my dad dropped me off at her house. When we were there I saw her chinchilla Bolt. He was soooo cute! After that we went to Wal-mart!!! When we were there we bought dinosaur eggs and goldfish. As we walked around the store looking for more things we could buy that we don’t need we noticed something. Was it my dad? No. Was it my mom? No. Was it Leah’s Brother Ross? Of course not! It was a hot guy walking around Wal-mart!!!
I turned to Leah and said, “Lets stalk him!”
We follow him through many isles, but then we lost him. We were very bad stalkers. Though we wanted to find him it was time for us to leave because we were going to see The Last Song. So we gave him a name, Herbert and left.
After the movie we were back at Leah’s house. We watch Jurassic Park, and had a marathon with all three of the movies! During the movies Leah, Ross, and I took pictures! They were very cool. Some of them were of us jumping into the air, and bunch of them were us laying with our head hanging over Leah’s bed. We also took pictures over our phones. Ross took about five pictures of me and set one of them as his background. I think he might like me, but oh well. During the movie Ross made excellent popcorn, and it was so perfectly pop corned. He is a great chef.
In the morning we woke up and Ross made pancakes, but these were not good. In fact they were horrible. They were tasted like plastic dough! Ew! Overall it was a very good night though.

Good Morning Sunshine

“Good morning sunshine, the earth says hello!”
I opened my eyes and screamed, “Ahh…! What are you doing in here?!?”
“I was making pancakes and wanted to know if you wanted any?”
I looked up at her cheery face. It disgusted me!
“Get out of my house stalker!”
“Oh, but honey bunch-”
“No you seriously need to stop Abbey. This has been going on for far too long, and I think you need to understand that this is not going to work out between you and me.”
“I know we have some disagreements Ryan, but I can change really I can!”
I can’t believe she just said that. If she wasn’t a girl I would slap her right across the face.
I sat up in my bed and said calmly, “Abbey get out of my house or I will call the cops.”
“Oh, but Ryan I think you are misunderstanding. We were meant to be together, and just because you don’t see it now doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Just give me a chance I could be the girl of your dreams!”
I got out of my bed, and tried to escort her to the door. I opened the front door motioned her out, and then…she quickly planted a kiss on me and ran out the door.
I screamed, “What the heck?!?”
I heard her giggle as she ran off. I stood there puzzled not knowing if I should just call the cops.
“I will love you forever and ever Ryan, and don’t you forget it!” I heard her scream in the distance.
“What a freak.” I said under my breath.
My older brother was standing right behind me as I walked in the house.
“She was hot.” He said and walked back up to his room.
I thought about it for a minute and said, “Dang!”
She really was hot. Hmm…oh well.

If He Only Knew

I sit behind you for eighty minutes every day in language arts. Your hair is beautiful, it so soft and luscious. I smells like axe with a hint of cucumbers, I like cucumbers. Your wearing a t-shirt that frames your perfectly hot abs. Though the back of your head is beautiful so is the front. I purposely get up in the middle of class the sharpen my pencil because I want to look at you on my way back to my seat. Oh, you’re so gorgeous. Like your face was carved by the gods. I only I could hold that glorious face within my hands, then my life would be complete.
At the end of class I walked to my locker and met up with my BFF Jill. As he walked by my locker I felt my heart melt.
I turned to Jill and said, “Oh he is so wonderful…I just wish he knew I existed.”
The year was almost over, and I had every intention of having him notice me by the end of the year.
After school I walked along the street looking at my surroundings, I wanted to remember everything. I stood at the end of the drive way, took out my lawn chair and sat down starring at the house. I sat there for about an hour until the door opened. Sheldon stood in the door way. He looked glorious like he just stepped out of Hot Heaven.
There was a long pause then finally he said, “Go away stalker!”
I was appalled! I yelled back, “I am not a stalker!”
I was so mad I picked up my lawn chair and walked home. That’s the last time I ever go for a man in mathematics club!

Everyday Use

Looking back, far back in time. I can see my grandma, great-grandma and grandpa. They are sitting around a fire slowly stitching by hand as my great-grandpa is sleeping soundly in an old rocking chair. I sit and watch as a large quilt is slowly sewn together. That quilt wasn't the greatest, but it was made with fine American ingenuity. A breeze rushes over my whole body and I am suddenly pulled away from the scene. Soft pounding slowly starts in my ear. It gets louder and louder. I'm rushed into a modern day factory, but the pounding was still there. I looked around, and sewing machines were everywhere. In the short story "Everyday Use," by Alice Walker the author illustrates the importance of understanding our present life in relation to traditions of this family's culture. You can see the aspects of this story by the characters, symbolism, and the actual meaning of the story.

The characters in the story are Maggie, Dee, and their Mother. Dee is a lovely young lady that only wants to make it big in the world, so it wouldn't be a surprise that her name would mean "a rising river." Maggie on the other hand loves to be involved in her heritage and traditions of her family. She is one of a kind just like her name meaning "pearl." The mother in the story is very simple and has a unsophisticated view of her heritage. Early on in the story we learn that the mother has inherited many customs and traditions from her ancestors, like the quilts that she has kept.

Even though the characters in this story are very important, the symbolism is also a important part of the story. Throughout most of the story the family was out in the yard. "It is like an extended living room(pg. 102)." This shows that the yard was like a safe area for the family. Another part of the story that had symbolism was when there was a fire in the house. "Her eyes seemed stretched open, blazed open by the flames that reflected them(pg.104)." In this part of the book it tells how the yard became a sanctuary for the family.

Not only is the symbolism essential, but so is the meaning of the story. The women in the story care deeply for their heritage. Even though Maggie feels as though the rest of her family are neglecting it, they still all have a mutual respect towards their culture. This story shows the relationship towards people's heritage, and how we see it now in the present day. The author shows that the heritage is shown not by possession of the object, but by one's lifestyle.

Anyone can see the significance of this story by the characters, symbolism, and the meaning of the story. I thought this story showed how some people neglect their heritage. Though our world has become more dependant on the technology in the world we should still try not to forget the little things in life even if it is only a quilt.

Dead Man's Path

You wake up in the morning. You’re on your way out of your house. Soon you are confronted with a path. Your start to walk down this path, but soon it falls from under your feet into thin air never to be seen again. In the story "Dead Man’s Path" by Chinua Achebe Mr. Obi wants to get rid of this path that goes through the school yard, but when the village priest finds out about it he doesn’t want the path to move, because it was put there by the town’s ancestors. Mr. Obi thinks that this town could benefit from this because it is new and improved, but is new always better? Some main aspects of this story are the characters, symbolism, and the whole meaning of the story.

The main character in this story is Mr. Obi. Mr. Obi was just appointed headmaster of Ndume Central School, and he thinks he has some great ideas for the school. Obi means “heart” and Mr. Obi has a lot of it when he is trying to improve the school. What Mr. Obi doesn’t realize though is that the path set through the school yard is a landmark for that town. Mr. Obi is a brilliant man, but that doesn’t mean that changing this tradition is the right thing to do.

Even though the characters in the story are very important the symbolism is just as vital. Symbolism is important to this story because it can give you clues to whether or not something good or bad will happen in the story. “…dream-gardens came to life with the coming of the rains, and blossomed(477).” This sentence is about a garden, and gardens usually bring new life to things which could mean something good is about to happen.

The symbolism is very important to the story, but so is the meaning of the title. The title of the story is Dead Man's Path, but there is no secret that there is a deeper meaning to the story than a path that has a dead man on it. In the story when the priest comes to inspect the school and finds out that Mr. Obi wants to redo the path that goes through the school yard the priest is devastated because that path was a local landmark that the town's ancestors were buried under.

The main focus of this story are the characters, symbolism, and the complete meaning of the story. This story tries to show that even though something may be new it is not always better. Things that are traditional aren’t always the most popular thing for people, but it can also be very important to others.

The Tell Tale Heart

You creep inside the pitch black room. As you lurk inside you take out your lantern. A thin stream of light shines right into the “evil eye.” In the story "The Tell Tale Heart", by Edgar Allen Poe there is a young man being tormented by the eye. Many important aspects of the story are the characters, the mode of literature, and the symbolism.

The characters in the story are the narrator and the old man. The narrator is the main character in this story. He feels like he is being tormented by this old man’s “evil eye.” Throughout the story the narrator keeps saying that he isn’t a mad man, but as the story goes on we find out that he is because he kills the old man. Even though the narrator felt that he did good by killing the old man, I feel that the old man did nothing at all.

Even though the characters are interesting so is the mode of literature. The mode of literature for this story is Irony. I believe that it is an Irony story because some aspects of the story were unrealistic. A part that was very unrealistic in the story was when the narrator admitted that he killed the old man. “…it is the beating of his hideous heart.(pg. 385)” You know this part of the story is unrealistic because a dead man’s dead heart can’t beat.

Another important part of this story is the symbolism. A large part of the symbolism in the story was the “evil eye.” Many people believe that an evil eye could mean disapproval, jealousy, malice from that person and could cause them great harm. Another symbol is darkness. Darkness could also mean death for people. Going down stairs is another symbol used in the story. Down is a symbol because it’s like you are being tortured or going to die.

The characters, mode of literature, and the symbolism are very important to the story. Edgar Allen Poe could have written this story for many reasons. Maybe he had an unhappy childhood growing up, or maybe that he was just a troubled person. He may have been trying to show that there is more to the story than just this crazy man killing an old man and that there may actually be a large reason for the story.
