Mean to Nice

Author's Note: The Alternate ending describes how I would end this piece. I picked a happy ending to show that anyone can make a change in life.

The boy ran home and quickly jumped on his computer. He looked for a Job. Followed by a better education. Most of his family were surprised to see him working at this Mini Golf place, making around 8 dollars an hour. He told many friends, family, and even strangers his story.

His whole life turned around, because of this Lady. He even made it on the News’s. After a good 2 years, he decided to visit the Lady. When he got to the Lady’s house, he knocked 3 times on the door. When she opened the door the boy said, Thank you.

The reason I choose to explain the alternate ending as I did, is because I knew it would be a happy ending, but maybe for some a sad ending. I really choose this though because I thought it be an interesting to hear people’s reactions.

Florida

Author's Note:This is my Personal Narrative, it focuses on what I did in Florida. It also talks about the Hot humid weather. As well as Jelly Fish season.

I've never been to Florida before, and I’ve never seen waves. This was a really exciting moment for me to finally visit a new state with different atmosphere. It was also my second time being on a plane. The last time I flew on a plane my ears popped. Sadly it happened again.

We stayed in a big hotel right next to a sandy, wavy, dead jelly fish infected beach. Whenever I would jump into the Ocean the waves would literally carry you. I would step on a jelly fish every time the wave pushed me closer to the sand.

On the beach, was a close by restaurant. I got to eat delicious lobster. I honestly would have to say that sea food is my favorite. I stayed at Florida for a good two weeks. We had crispy shrimp, clams, and even hot, steaming, salted, big fish. I also got the best tan of my life.

If you’re looking for a warm relaxing place to stay, then Florida is the place for you. They have some of the best sea food around. But if you go to Florida in Jelly Fish Season, then be careful, and if you’re an indoors person then Florida is definitely not the place for you.  

Cause and Effect

Author's Note: I wrote this to show my skill in Cause and Effect. It tells how much I enjoyed this vacation. It also tells how if I didn't go on a vacation how that would turn out.

It was during the summer when my Family and I were going to go to the Wisconsin Dells. We usually go somewhere special every year during summer. I've been to Florida a couple times, and South Carolina. But this was my first time going to the Dells. I was hoping for there to be large water slides, a nice place to tan, and even yummy ice cream.

The cause of why we do this every Summer is so we can enjoy ourselves, and to also spend time together. The reason we go on vacation Is to get away from the colder weather, and to get a break from school and jobs. The effect of going on vacation was fantastic. It had good effect on me because I got to go on water slides, and eat ice cream. Unfortunately I got no tan. My family also got some really cool souvenirs.

If I hadn’t gone on vacation it would have been quite boring, because my Mother would have been at work, and I would be stuck at school doing assignments, and WKCE Testing.

Dough Boy

Author's Note: In this Retelling Piece I talk a little bit about his life and the current problems he has with his weight.

This book is about an over weight teen whose parents got divorced when he was younger. A new Father came into his life and he was a little over weight as well. They got along great. But later in the story his daughter comes around & she’s a skinny pretty girl who is trying to get Dough Boy on a diet, but he refuses.

My Questions to the Founding Fathers

         

Author's Note: This is about the Founding Fathers and what they've done. I talk a little bit about slavery and women's rights.

The Founding Fathers were creators of the Declaration of Independence. They were Political leaders. They all came from the 13 colonies. They were known as delegates. Some of these delegates were George Washington, Patrick Henry, John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Dickinson, John Day, and many others.

I want to say thank you for the United States. But some of the choices you made were poorly chosen. Why did allow slavery, and made Women not have any rights. You only allowed freedom if you were a white man. You damaged the United States because of the choices you made. Racism still lives on this day.

If you allowed freedom to everyone, people today would feel equal. It has affected the World. Maybe someday we can all get over one of the biggest mistakes made. But in all of the bad choices you've made it took a big part in winning American Independence, and Creating the United States of America. So thank you for all you’ve done to let us live here in peace.

Summer Break

Author's Note: In this story it kind of explains how my summer went. It also explains a little about how I felt when the first school day was arriving.



           My summer sure was boring, I didn't do much. We didn't even get to go on a
vacation, my Mother didn't have enough gas money. We were supposed to go to the
"Wisconsin Dells" & have a fun time at "Noah's Ark." Besides the fact of me not
           going on a vacation, let me explain how the rest of my summer went. I got to hang out with a lot of my friends. I couldn't believe I would go to bed around 4:00 in the morning. It was hard to sleep in 80 degree weather, when the air vent in my room
wasn't even working. We got rid of my cat, it's pee reeked the whole house.
          Our bunny died, & the same goes with our gold fish. They lived for some
good years. I guess when you got to go, you got to go. All we have left is our dog, named Ginger. My   Summer could have been worse. Hopefully next summer I get to do something a little more exciting. Almost                          
           my whole summer, I worried so much about School. I thought it was going to be the same as last year. But I   guess they Changed a lot. Turns out, I shouldn’t have worried about a new grade. I also had my birthday over   summer. I got a bunch of stuff. I guess in the end things didn’t turn out as bad as they did.

2Pac

The life of 2Pac, 2Pac was a hip-hop legend his real name was “Tupac Shakur” he made music like no other. He was a man who really had a very hard life. His mom was the only one who could take care of him. His dad died when he was just a baby. But when he got into the rap career he was working for "digital underground." He ended up becoming a million air and sold over 75 million records.

His music talked about some sadness, some anger, & hatred in his life. What he wanted to tell everyone was just don’t give up, live your life, and be happy. Some of his best songs were “keep your head up”, “Staring at the world through my rear view”, and “Pain”. He was making music when he was in West vs East. he was a W.E.S.T side gangster.

Some people look at him and think he was a bad man. He did nothing wrong. He really only wanted love. He was growing up with kids doing a lot of drugs. 2Pac got a bunch of law suits & went to jail. Police treated him like he was a piece of dirt. He saw a lot of racism and made a song called changes, which inspired me to change my acts. He loved children, he would make songs with children. He looked so happy to put children in his music videos.

But 2Pac now is dead. You might wonder how he died? He was killed by a drive by. What happened was a gang member got beaten down by the west side. Apparently 2Pac was involved in it. When the gang found out about this beating, they went to find 2Pac. When 2Pac and his friend Suge Knight were heading to this party he came to a red light. A man rolled down his window and shot 2Pac 5 times. He survived the shootings and was rushed to the hospital.

His friends came to see him every day. Until eventually he died of cardiac arrest, & loss of blood. People say that "Biggie Smalls" killed him. After 14 years they finally found the man behind the killing. It was Suge Knight. From this day I will always pray for 2Pac to rest in peace. God bless 2Pac. But what would 2Pac want for us to do. Well he would probably just want us to live are life’s and be happy.
