Stranded

Authors Note: In this piece of writing it is about survival if you have any suggestions please comment 

Day by Day has passed and Ryan still had not found his way out of the desert. He was the only person on the plane that survived the crash and he was looking for water. Ryan had been out in the desert for 2 days and was on the verge of starvation. Ryan was feeling that well but just then he saw lake of water in the desert. Ryan thought why a lake would be in the desert, instead of thinking that much he ran at it.

When Ryan was a few feet away it disappeared, now Ryan was experiencing hallucinations. He ran under a tree because he saw a monkey. The monkey held an apple, Ryan ran after it but it was too quick for him. Ryan sat down at the stump of the tree, and then Ryan thought he heard rain but then he thought it was hallucinations again. Ryan toke a couple steps out from under the tree and the rain pounded down which felt like a million pounds. Ryan knew he was going to live he just didn’t know for how long.

The Trip That Never Should Have Ended

Picture yourself swimming in the water playing basketball, and zip lining through the jungle at high speeds. Those are some of the things I experienced in Mexico.

In Mexico at our resort lots of games went on all the time. One of my favorite games was water basketball. Water basketball was always fun, unless people were bigger and better than you.

Even though the games were fun zip lining was a blast. The ride up the mountain was long and especially boring, but it was worth it. The ride down all the zip lines were fun, but I enjoyed the last one the most. This one you went through the jungle at high speeds and you saw many of animals, this last zip line was also the longest. After zip lining was over this memory was never to be forgetting.

The zip lining and water basketball were some of the funnest most thrilling things I experienced. I truley had a great time in Mexico.

The Beautiful Day

Authors Note: In this piece of writing I wrote a poem about a vacation that includes semantic devices.

 

Florida

The winds howls loud

The air is humid

The sun is shining, and it’s a beautiful day to swim

We pack up our stuff and get ready for the beach

The sand was as hot as fire

The water was just at a perfect temperature

Sand castles was fun, but parasailing was a blast

The sun started to set as we all watched from the dock

 Watching the sunset was pure joy, it was unlike anything else I have ever seen

The Day at the beach had been one incredible day

The Shot that Changed the Game

The Shot that Changed The Game

Authors Note: The short pieces is about a sport the incorporates a hyperbole and symbolism 

He ran up the soccer field, at what seemed like 100 mph. One defender lunged and then another, he was double teamed. The game was 3-3 with 2 minutes left in game. Jake was at the middle of field with two defenders enclosing on him. This game was going to have a close scoring finish.

Jake pulled two moves and split the two defenders with ease. Then he played the ball out wide to Nathan who whipped the ball right back into the box. Daniel got his head on the ball and it hit the crossbar and bounced back out to the edge of the box where Nathan was. Kevin took one touch on the ball and then pounded with lots of power. When Kevin struck the ball it went as fast as lightning into the upper corner where he scored! The game was over with a great finish, Pewaukee has won!

Survival is a Key 

Envision yourself taken away from your family and placed inside a huge wilderness. You and 23 other contestants will fight until only one person remains, and they will be crowned victor of the Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins Catching Fire is one exhilarating book that deals with survival and family.

During the whole book of Catching Fire survival was a key exceptionally in the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games Katniss did a lot of survival techniques, and some of these techniques I saw during the TV show Man vs. Wild. At one point of Catching Fire Katniss needed some food so she set up snares she made from the jungle just like Bear Grills did on Man vs. Wild. Collins Really showed the readers in this book how effective survival techniques can be if you know how to use them.

While survival was huge part of the book, don’t forget about family. Throughout the whole book Katniss was always Loyal and nice to her family. She also looked out for her sister and mom and fed them. I can relate to Katniss because I look out for my three sisters and I’m loyal to my family. Katniss wasn’t always nice to her family, like when Katniss found out she had to go back to the Hunger games she got really mad and yelled at her mom but later apologized. The good thing about having a loving family is that their always there for you when your sad, for example when Katniss thought her sister Prim was dead she started crying but her mom calmed her down and told her she was alive.

Throughout the whole book Collins used survival and family in very good spots of the book. With that being Collins truly seceded in telling her readers what survival and family can do for you, and from those themes she created an excellent novel.

No Fun in the Sun

Authors Note; This essay is about a girl that gets bullied in a terrible way. The essay will inform kids what bullies can do  to kids and how to handle them. 

Visualize a place where it rains for seven years and then near the end of the seven year period the sun comes out for one hour. During that one hour period you get locked in closet by a bully until it’s over then somebody lets you out, and it’s raining again for 7 years. All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury is a very sad short story that deals with lots of bullying and what bullies can do to kids and how it can affect a kid’s life.

Throughout the whole short story of All Summer in a Day the main character was constantly being bullied, she was being called names and pushed around, and other mean stuff. I can relate to the main character in this book, in second grade I was bullied and I got called names and pushed but you cannot show the bully that he is getting inside of your head or he’ll continue doing it. You just have ignore bully or tell a parent, (Margot) the main character just ignored the bullies the whole time but the most effect way to get them to stop is telling a adult that’s what Margot did wrong.

In real life when kids get bullied most are too scared to tell an adult what’s going on, because they think that the bully will make fun of them even more. If a kid doesn’t do that the bully will get into his head eventually, and then the kid will start to believe stuff the bully says like “you’re so stupid” or “you’re not good enough to play that sport”. In the end most of kids will think they’re worth nothing so some attempt to commit suicide. According to https://cybermentors.org 20 kids every year commit suicide because of bullies. Bradbury really shows the readers in his book how bullies can crush kids and make them think they’re worth nothing.

All Summer in day is in fact one great short story also it shows the kids young and old what bullies can do if you don’t handle them correctly. Bradbury short story is truly one sad book but a great life lesson for kids so they know how to handle bullies in the future.
