Relationship Changes

Author's Note: Finding Nemo is about a father and a son with a bad, untrustworthy relationship. I explain in this conflict resolution piece how it changes from beginning to end.


Finding Nemo is about a father and a son who don’t have a trusting relationship. Marlin, who is Nemo’s father worries about losing Nemo, because his wife followed by his other children died. The main conflict is about how Nemo wants to be independent, but his dad always wants to have him in his sight.

Nemo gets separated from his father. A man with a scuba diving outfit swam down and captured Nemo, he was sent to a Fish store. His Father tried to save him but there was no hope. Later in the Movie Nemo’s Father met this girl named Sydney. They went to save Nemo. In the end of the movie Nemo got flushed down the toilet and returns to his family.

 Marlin still has some trust issues until Sydney got trapped in a net, along with at least 50 other Fish. Nemo said “ I have to save him.” His father grabbed his arm and said “ I’m not losing you this time Nemo.” Nemo said “ you have to trust me.” His father let’s go, then Nemo swam up to the net, Nemo said, “Swim Down.” All the fish swam down and the net broke. In the end Marlin finally trusted Nemo for saving all those fish. There trustful relationship was restored.

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.
