A Short Story

I rode my bike down the road too the bridge above the creek. It had rained yesterday so the water was above average hight and flowing hard. I pulled over into the woods on my bike and dropped it off into the bushes. I came out of the woods and back onto the bridge to look down at he flowing water. I watched as the leaves got sucked under by the current and then resurfaced a couple seconds later on a calmer stretch of the creek. After watching the water for a while I walked along the bridge to the other side where there was a tiny pond off to the left side of the road. I walked up to the bank of the shallow pond. The water was sort of murky.      I made a cast and my lure skipped across the surface of the water all the way to a log sticking up out of the water. The lure skipped and bounced off the log with a thud and then sank slowly into the water. It hadn't even reached the bottom when I felt a giant tap and set the hook. The line shot off to the side and then a big bas...

Response to "Harrison Bergeron"

     The short story "Harrison Bergeron" starts off by giving back ground information such as the setting and what is going on. The main conflict in this story is Person vs. Machine. Everyone has a dissability according to how good they are at something to where everyone is equal. There have been devices put into the ears of smart people to make noises to distract them when they are thinking.      A couple were sitting on their couch in their home. The man named George was very smart he had a device in his ear to keep him equal to his wife Hazel, who was not the smartest person. Their son, Harrison Bergeron, had been taken by the government because he was good at everything. While George and Hazel were watching ballerinas on their TV, Harrison bursted in and began to dance with one of the ballerinas. He took off her mask that made her appear ugly because she was the prettiest of the ballerinas. The action in the short story began to rise. Harrison removed ...

Dialogue

"Oh hey Sarah!" Elizabeth says. "Hey Elizabeth!" "So good to see you again" Sarah says. "How's your son Sarah? Did he win his soccer game yesterday?" "No, they lost by a goal and the other team was pretty good but the officiating was awful. Two kids from the other teams should have gotten red cards." "Wow, that sounds pretty bad. I wish Timmy played on your son's team. They would have so much fun together!" "You know what. I will recommend Timmy to the coach. He would be a great addition to the team and they would win more games with him." "Thank you so much Sarah. I don't know what I would do without you." "Anytime Elizabeth. Hey I've gotta go checkout my groceries now. It was great seeing you again" "Alright. Bye!" "Bye!"

Response to Naomi Nye's Reading

     At school last week we were very lucky to meet author Naomi Nye. It was kind of cool to the face of the person behind all of these writings. She wrote one of my favorite personal narratives that we have read so far; Mint Snowball. She read poetry to us and told us how she visited a school in Canada. I found it very relaxing to listen to her.      After the bell rung and it was time to go to class, Me and some other people went up to talk to her. I greeted here and we shook hands. Then I asked her if she ever found the recipe for the mint snowball and her response was very interesting. She said that her great-grandfather's house had some papers in the attic and they might be related to the mint snowball. She called the person who was currently holding the house and asked if she could pick them up or if he could send them to her. He responded that he was very busy and she would have to check in with him later.

Dear 8 Year-Old

     By the time you are eight, you usually find out what you are good at. Work hard at these things cause they will be what you are known for. It can be a certain sport, playing an instrument, fishing. Don't waist your time on things you were not meant for and focus on the things you excel in. I figured this out when I was around eight and I discovered that I wanted to play basketball instead of baseball because I liked basketball more and I was better at it.      As you grow older you may discover more talents that you have. I have been fishing ever since I was little but not every day like I want and try to do now. I only discovered recently that I was good at fishing and now I have found every pond near Baton Rouge that has fish in it. Always hold on to the things that you are good at and work hard at them because they represent you.
