The day of halloween

This is the last blog for term one! It's super exciting. I know I have learned somethings with the apostrophe assignment we had to do. This is the last little bit of that assignment we had to do.

It’s the day of Halloween….
The Jones’ family was sitting around the couch talking about what they were to do later that afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were planning to go to a work Halloween party. “You need to watch your younger sister.” Mr. Jones told their son Travis. Travis rolled his eyes and thought that his sister could stay at her friends, but he didn’t say anything. “Don’t you dare roll your eyes at us young man,” Exclaimed his mother.  “Fine mom, geez I guess I will watch that little brat of yours,” Yelled Travis as he jogged up the stairs.
Jayden looked at her parents’, “why does Travis hate me?” she asked with a frown on her face. “Sweetheart he doesn’t hate you, he is just a boy who want to be out doing things he shouldn’t do,” Said her dad with a sincere heart. “Are you and the girls going to be little princess’ tonight,” her mom said trying to change the subject. “Yeah everyone, but Anna she’s going to be a duck.” Jayden said putting a smile on her face. “That’s good, do you want to go to the store with me and get some pumpkins with the steams still on its top?”  “Yeah that will be fun, let’s go!” said Jayden.
“Travis your dad, me, and Jayden are going to the store, do you want to come?”  “No mom,” Travis yelled down the stairs.  When he heard his parents’ car drive away he ran up to the storage. He looked around and tried to find his families biggest, greatest suitcase.  Once he found one he grabbed it and rushed down the stairs.   He got seven outfits and stuff for personal hygiene. Then he ran down stairs grabbed twenty bottles of water and some canned meals. He also grabbed some junk food. Slowly he took a breath, and walked up the stair. When he got to his room he grabbed his box full of money and grabbed all his emergency money.
Ten minutes later he arrived at a gas station, and then he went inside. He bought a ten bottle cause of Red bull. A couple miles away Travis walked into an opening of the forest. He sat down on a rock and looked around. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a small little cottage. He walked over to it to find a woman dressed in a witches outfit. Since it was Halloween he figured that it was her costume. He walked in she made him freeze.  When he came unfrozen he felt this unbearable pain. He curled up into a ball, and as the pain grew he heard a excruciating laughter.
Then everything was silent, and Travis’ soul filled the air. His ghost still is trying to get home to his family, but his family is no more.

Don't judge

“Be fearless when it come to life and careless when it comes to what people think and say about you”
I hate the fact that people judge others on their appearance or how they act. Seriously get to know them for yourself. I know that I have done this and used to do this. But I’ve tried to make myself learn to get to know that person I had judged. I’ve made a lot of new friends because of this. (: I’m grateful for that! I want and am making this a personal goal. I want this to be my goal along with be friends with everyone. No one is the same there will never be someone just like you. Like one of my friends said “"If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone as beautiful as you, I would have 5 cents." (: No one can ever be like you. You are unreplacable!!! Learn to accept people for who they are! I love all the new people I’ve met in the past year and I hope our friends will endure to the end. I want to be there for each and every one of them. I want to be there solder to cry on, the person to kick another guys butt after a break up, and most of all I just want to have amazing memories to share with them. I love all my friends and everyone I know!!!

The End of the Term!!!

Oh my heck! Oh my heck! Oh my heck! I can't believe this term is almost over! I’ve got pretty behind in Honors English. Oh man… I have got most of it done.

I have been losing sleep for the past two months because of darn school…. I want to go to bed! Now I feel like I’m just ranting on about my life…. Anyways I just had to say that this term is almost over!!! And I’m stressing!

Look back...

This week for the discussion board we had a little different discussion board response. We were asked to go in and revise or edit one of our blogs and one of our discussion board responses.

There is never an end for writing, stories can and will go on forever.

Last year in creating writing we had a notebook where we could write whatever we wanted to in it. Yeah we had some assignments that’s what was mostly in my notebook.  Some of the writing pieces I wrote were pretty good. I had a good time writing most of the assignments. I think that class is the class that helped me the most with quick writing responses. My teacher would give us a topic or a type of writing and we got to be creative and write what we wanted. It was a great way to start out writing.

I have always loved writing. When I was about 10 years old I would sit down and make up songs. Some of them were silly some of them I still look back on and say “ wow did I really write that?” I got my little friends hooked on writing songs. I think one of the funniest songs me and my friend ever wrote was called My Teddy Bear. I swear it was funny and we were little. In elementary school I remember sitting at the lunch table with a note book writing songs.

One time when I was writing a song at lunch my friend asked me what I was doing. I told her and she started writing songs too. You can be an inspiration to anyone! I try my best to make my writing good the first time around, but it never works out that way.

Writing is a continual process of editing and revising. Have you ever had to an assignment (like this) and didn’t know what to write about? Well take out one of those old note books of yours that has some writing in it and revise. Or even rewrite one of your prior blog posts. There is so much you can do when you don’t know what to write.

When you don’t know what to write you can make it be something a little crazy but something you have already wrote. Like an email from you to a friend. You could talk the first line on the fourth page of a book and write a short story from that sentence. There are a ton of things… Um you could even go through a scrapbook of some sort and find the fourteenth picture and try to explain what it looks like to a blind person. You could find the average favorite song from your friends and try to explain that song to a deaf person. There is just so much! So put your thinking caps back on and go write some things down. Even better look back and revise every piece of writing you have and then write new pieces of writing. Have fun and be yourself when you write it will make your writing a little more unique. :)
