Cole Matthews Transformation

Author's Note: I wrote about touching spirit bear because it was the most recent book I finished. I tried to connect what I said to text evidence in the book and to work on my word choice.

In the beginning of Touching Spirit Bear  by Ben Mikaelson a teenager named Cole Matthews is a horrifying kid because he has been beaten by his father. He gets very angry because Peter Driscal reported him and he smashes his head on the concrete. He is a teenager that doesn't think about what he has to do to get his payback. After he is sent to the island and shortly after gets mauled by the spirit bear he now knows what it feels like to get bullied. He changes forever after that incident, he is now bruised up from the attack and he feels like that was how Peter felt when he got beat up. After he realizes he has made a mistake. Cole went from starting bad to good after he got mauled and he is forever changed from that incident.

Our Founding Fathers

Author's Note: I wrote about how they became independent because it was for a patriots pen. I tried to to work on transitions into the next paragraph in this piece.

Patriots and loyalists lined up on a field, taking turns shooting and reloading, soldiers falling to the ground wounded and worse.  If I could ask the founding fathers anything I would ask them what it was like back then, and what happened to them while they were controlled by the British. Perhaps even what choices they had back then to free themselves from the British and even if they tried to pass their own laws while controlled by the British. Possibly how long did it take to finish the declaration of Independence  All in all I know that the founding fathers have not made any mistakes with making declaration of independence.

When the colonist created the thirteen colonies to get away from the King of England he still controlled them. The King of England kept making new laws or acts as they called them. The acts were used to tell the colonist were they could and couldn't go, raise taxes on everyday items and even house the British soldiers. Colonists had to deal with numerous situations in order for them to get independence.

Even though talking about how they got their independence and the acts is fun, what it was like back then is even more interesting. They no electricity like us which means they had no cars, phones, or computers which meant that they had to be creative. They had no cars to get around anywhere so they either had to walk, ride a horse, or ride on a carriage. They couldn't just email, text or call someone whenever they wanted, they had to make a letter by hand and send it which would take a long time to even get a letter back from them.

All in all I know that they had successfully become independent from the British. And the founding fathers had to go threw a lot of situations to get to where we are now, an independent country. Even though they knew that they might not make it back, they knew that in order for future generations to have a better life they had to become free from the British.

The Decision to Save the World

Author's Note: I wrote about The Throne of Fire, because it was the most recent book I have read so it was easy to remember what happened. In this piece I tried to accurately describe what the Conflict and Resolution was.

The Conflict of the book The Throne Of Fire is that the God of chaos is about to break through the Duat which is a magical realm to Egyptian magicians. If Apophis the Snake of chaos breaks out of the Duat it means that he will devour the sun God Ra and also devour the sun. If Apophis devours the sun then the world will fall into chaos and the world would end. If Carter and Sadie Kane are going to be able to defeat the God of chaos Apophis they will need to resurrect the sun god Ra. The only way for them to resurrect the sun god Ra is for them to find the book of Ra which has been separated into three different parts so that Ra would never be resurrected.

They need to find all three scrolls to resurrect Ra, Ra is the only one that is able to defeat the snake of chaos Apophis. It is a challenge for them to find the scrolls, because they were never supposed to be found and put back together. Since Ra has slumbered for a long time there has already been another king of the gods. The king of the gods was Horus unless they resurrect Ra, if they resurrect Ra that means that Horus would not be the king of the gods. Some gods agree, don't care, or they don't want Ra to be resurrected. Carter and Sadie end up getting all three scrolls after some difficulties and resurrect the sun god Ra, the only problem is that he can also choose the gods and most want him to choose them. If he chooses to resurrect Ra the gods will disagree and be against him.

The Red Pyramid

Author's Note: I wrote about The Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan, because it was easy to write about the cause and effect from this book , because I have read this book recently. In this piece I tried to accurately say what they had to do.

In the Red Pyramid, a book by Rick Riordan the two main characters are Carter and Sadie. They are two young magicians who are descendants from two of the most powerful pharaohs in Egypt. They face a trouble in the book which is the lord of chaos Set, and he is building a red pyramid so that he can absorb the power from Osiris the god of the dead. If he absorbs the power from Osiris he will be able to make a storm that would destroy the world.

Carter and Sadie have to find the book of Thoth, a feather of truth, and Sets secret name to destroy Set. They must first find the book of Thoth to find a spell that would destroy set. Anyone's secret name is there experiences and what they are about. They must find his secret name by someone close to him. Since they have to find out his secret name they must ask his sister. They also have to go to the underworld to retrieve a feather of truth which is a challenge because they have to trust a demon bound by a spell to lead them there. Once they have all three components they must find and destroy him so he doesn't destroy the world.

Track and Field

Crowds of people cheering, being on a school track in the springtime, the temperature warm and the leaves back on the trees waving in the wind. That was what it was like last year in Track and Field for me, and running against and with the wind. In the spring boys could join Track for the season and join many events to do in meets against different schools. I know that Track is the best sport to join at school.

Although Track is the best sport to join it can be a horrible sport if you don't enjoy running or strength events. I personally like high jump out of all the events because it combines both running and strength in your legs. I could barely make it over the bar in high jump so I kept trying and trying and occasionly got better at it, but at meets I got too nervous and hit the bar. Even though I rarely made it over the bar I thought I should just quit the event because I never made it over the bar, I didn't quit because my friends kept encouraging me.

Although it was challenging my friends kept encouraging me I got better and started to not get nervous everytime I was about to jump. I would always try over and over again I got better and made it over the bar more, but sadly when I started to get more comfortable the season ended. I got comfortable when jumping over the bar and now I have to start all over. Even though I only did high jump that year I tried different events, but I wasn't good at any other events like long jump.

Even though high jump is pretty fun all of the other events are also fun. I should have tried more than just high jump, but I learned that the only event other than running distance is high jump. I should have joined more events which would have given me more of a chance at winning in meets. Winning isn't everything, but it would've been nice to win once I should've joined more team events at the same time. If I would have joined a team event I could have help from others not just being alone in high jump.

I know that Track is the best sport to join. If anyone joins track they will have fun. If someone joins any sport they should enjoy it, because they join that sport with their own free will. If somebody joins a sport that they do not enjoy they shouldn't have joined the sport in the first place. No matter what sport you join you should always have good memories about it not horrible memories.

The Throne of Fire Retelling

In the the Throne of Fire, the second book in the Kane Chronicles, Sadie and Carter Kane are related to some of the most powerful Egyptian pharaohs. Sadie and Carter are both  They are on a quest to find the three scrolls of Ra to recover the book of Ra to summon the sun God to save them from the snake of chaos Apophis. They find the first scroll in a museum and run into some troubles trying to retrieve the scroll. They must find three scrolls which represents each form Ra had. They retrieve the scroll with a little trouble, read the book to find out the rest.

Baseball is the worst sport ever

Baseball is the worst sport ever. All they do is run around bases and hit and catch baseballs. It is one of the easiest sports ever. All you do is run around; it isn’t that hard to do. Baseball isn’t just an american sport and people in Cuba love to play baseball. Even though there is Major League Baseball we have our own sport, football. I know that baseball is the worst sport ever.

The Adventures of Andrew

There once was a kid named Andrew, he lived on the planet Mars. He loved ponies so much, but the ponies ignored Andrew. Andrew wondered why they weren’t talking to him. He tried to figure it out. He decided he would try something crazy. He went in the center of the town called sugarcity and tried to ask them one last time; no one answered him. Then he decided he would try to leave Mars and they would not let him leave.They wouldn't let him even let him get on his ship.

Season Endings

Season Finales are great, but there is too much drama. Season finales are also great, because they bring brand new episodes that are usually better than the last. Season Finales end old seasons and begin a new one. Without season finales it would just keep going until a final episode is made. Bad season finales make people think that the next season isn't going to be as fantastic. Good season finales make you think the next season is going to be excellent.

Bread Snacks or Meals

Author's Note: We wrote about sandwiches, because we were hungry and we decided sandwiches sounded good to write about.

Sandwiches are great, they have a lot of different types types, my favorite is the BLT sandwich. Restaurants and fast-food make sandwiches, they make chicken sandwiches and much more. Most people don’t get sandwiches at fast-food places, but most of the restaurants don’t just serve sandwiches most serve burgers or chicken nuggets. Most fast-food restaurants and restaurants at least have some type of sandwich.

Fake Stage Act or Invention

Magic is mysterious, sometimes it is just an illusion or a trick. Most of the time it is an illusion, magic is magic, but other things can be magic as well. Technology is magic, because it can do a lot of things, such as typing to make writing faster and research subjects as well. Inventions are magic, because they require technology, math, or science. Some inventions were almost impossible to create and others are difficult to create. Magic can be a stage act or it can just be some type of technology.

White, Fluffy Creatures

Bunnies are fluffy, bushy tailed creatures that are small. Bunnies are usually just in the world, on their own, but sometimes people keep them as pets. Bunnies are pets, but they need a lot of care and love to keep them. Bunnies can be nice or mean, they can also be different colors as well. They usually are white or light brown, they can be both white and light brown. Bunnies are better in their own because they are able to eat the grass and other food that is around them.

The Kane Heroes

Author’s Note: I wrote about The Red Pyramid because I had already read a book called The Lost Hero they were similar, but a little different. In this assessment I worked on using better vocabulary and I also tried to compare The Red Pyramid to The Lost Hero.

Could it be possible to cast spells? Possibly to host a God within your body? Possibly to destroy the God or Goddess? In The Red Pyramid by: Rick Riordan all of that is possible to do. Carter Kane and his sister Sadie Kane embark on an adventure to destroy “The Red Lord” also known as Set and his Red pyramid to save the world. They have a God's soul inside of them, able to use their power. They were called hosts when parts of the God’s soul were in them allowing them to have great power. Is anything truly possible in this book or is it just made up?

Both The Red Pyramid and The Lost Hero have their differences I am going to talk about how they are similar to each other. Although The Lost Hero is about the Greek Gods of Olympus and The Red Pyramid is about the Egyptians Gods they are similar. In The Lost Hero they have Tartarus which is controlled by Hades and The Red Pyramid has the Duat and the Hall of judgment which is similar.  They both embark on journeys that are similar to save the world. The difference is that The Red Pyramid is to destroy a God, and The Lost Hero they save a Goddess. Also in both stories they discover similar events that are about to happen. In The Lost Hero Giants are going to rise and destroy Mount Olympus and the Gods. The Red Pyramid however the serpent called Apophis has escaped the Duat and is going to destroy the world and take over all creation.

Although The Red Pyramid and The Lost Hero don’t forget about the differences. The Gods in The Lost Hero are just the main Gods like Zeus God of the Sky or Poseidon God of the Sea. Instead in The Red Pyramid they have Gods or Goddesses for basically everything. Also in both books they have powers that are different, The Lost Hero they are demigods with some of their Godly parents powers. In both books they have to face different problems and different items they need to finish their quest. The Lost Hero they need to need to retrieve the Golden Fleece and The Red Pyramid has to retrieve a feather of truth and the secret name of Set.

The book does include some things that people do in the World. They worship the Gods and goddesses of Egypt, although we worship whatever God is in our religion. In our planet we like to watch basketball and play it as well, in The Red Pyramid baboons love to play basketball. The Red Pyramid is a lot like the world and what we do every day. People in the world sometimes believe in legends or myths; there are a lot of myths and legends in the world. Some people believe in things like Bigfoot or possibly events they think can happen.

Again I say is it anything possible in this book or is it just made up? If any of this possible is it performed around the world? Has this been possible or any of this possible back when the Egyptians ruled Egypt? I would be scared if all of this would happen now. Although the whole thing in this book seems like it could truly happen they will not happen in the future or present.

Human are Not the Same

Author's Note: In this story I will talk about how having robots can be good, yet they can be bad at the same time. I worked on not summarizing the story and comparing other books, movies, or real world situations in this story.

Is it possible for humans to live on different planets? In this short story called Humans are Different was written by Alan Bloch. The human is sick and the robot thinks he can repair him, but he has to shut him down first. The robot was wrong, he couldn’t fix the human and instead the robot killed him. Robots and human are similar, but they never will be the same.

To begin with the book is similar to movies like the terminator, transformers, and wall-e. In the terminator the robots take over the world just like in humans are different the robots are the only thing left and there are barely any humans. Although in transformers the robots are trying to take over the world. It’s similar although they are trying to save people and destroy them at the same time.

Having robots can be a good thing; they can help us in surgery. Robots can create things that we need or what we use every day like cars and they create other things. They help us in dangerous surgeries to measure their brain activity and their heartbeat. They can help us with everyday tasks like the Roomba which is an automatic vacuum that can help you with cleaning. The Roomba is a vacuum cleaner that needs no plug, no one to push it, and the best part is it won’t hit a wall.

On the other hand having robots can be bad at the same time. They don’t have brains so they can’t think, they always need to be in control or something bad could happen. Robots can work and they can’t think; robots can malfunction badly. If we don't test them before present them to the public eye. 

Again I say robots are different, we can be healed but we can't be repaired like robots. Robots cannot ever be like humans, but they can do tasks or help us with everyday tasks. Some robots can act like humans, but they can never be exactly like us. Though robots and humans act the same sometimes, they will never be the same

No Chance of Escape

Author's Note: Water flowing into an excavation site with heavy rubber suits are being worn, they can't swim in the water it was almost truly no escape.

Imagine being at an excavating a site ten stories beneath a sewer wearing rubber suits hardly able to move. While Lynn Rosellini was writing she wrote a short story that involves that situation called No Escape. Swaby, Kenneth Schofield and John Kanash were all together in an excavation site. Till all of a sudden water flooding the site and there is nothing you can do about it. Even though the only way out is by a man cage the crane driver grabbed the man cage and saved one of the men. Even though the rule was don’t go back he made a smart choice.

In addition, the radios are broke and they can’t communicate to each other for him to lower that man cage. While they lower the cage water keeps pouring in and it is almost going to drowning them. A man goes back to save his fellow workers, even though the safety rules say you don’t go back if there is a danger. If he would have wasted anymore time his friends wouldn’t have made it out and the place would’ve been flooded.

To begin with the rubber suits were a setback to them with the heavy rubber boots and rain suits. Seeing that they almost drowned they need to invent rain suits and boots that weigh less for them if they did that they would be able to have a chance to get out. If they did that they would be a little bit safer and probably a little bit more comfortable in those suits. The suits were so heavy they were stuck down there.

Likewise he made a good decision to go back and save his friends, their families were no doubt thankful that he went back to save them. When Swaby saved them they were chin level with the water; about to drown. Swaby was very intelligent for going back to save his friends, if he would stay hesitated more than 15 seconds they would have drowned.

All in all Swaby made the right choice to go back and save his friends. Swaby was a hero for going back; his co-workers were thinking they were going to drown before Swaby came back down in the man cage. Swaby saved their lives because he knew he could save them, even though there is a rule they should have it set under circumstances instead.

bullying on Venus

Author's Note: I wrote about this short story because this is a good story that he wrote and it was my best choice to write about.

Imagine being on a world where you rarely see the sun; you claim to remember what the sun looks like. The sun comes out every eight years and she remembers what it looks like; “I think the sun is a flower that only blooms for one hour; a penny; like a fire in a stove. I know the author thought, what if a human moved from Earth to Venus and the sun rarely came out and it always rained? Because he knew it that type of an idea had never been done before.

If someone was saying that they knew what the sun looked like or when it was going to come out of the clouds, no one should believe they are either lying or just guessing and not listen to them or at least take it into consideration. She is locked in a closet because of her memories she is locked into a closet while the sun comes out for the first time in eight years. If that did happen to someone everyone else would regret it later.

The sun only comes out every eight years and for one hour only; a short time for viewing the sun. If it was like that on earth we would need a lot more sun or we would need to take vitamin D instead. If it did rain for eight years straight Venus would be flooded because if it did not stop raining for eight years life would be on Venus. If they didn’t get sun in every eight years it would be a nightmare because it would keep raining nonstop and you would never be able to see the sun and have a break to the nonstop raining.

If there was life on a different planet just like this it would be unlikely because you couldn’t plant crops or raise cows. If the sun appeared rarely you would never be able to plant crops for food; you couldn’t eat. Even if you did have cows you would need grass, which it is raining for eight years straight. If that even was possible it would be hard to live, almost impossible to live like that.

I know the author did write a good short story, but it would be better if they included more details. He could have included how they lived, what they ate, how did they get food and what they did. I know the author can improve his story.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Author's note: I wanted to write about this, because it is inspiring to read.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

By: Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote from American history is legend, it should be remembered and should be used in daily life. This quote was used and changed America forever. This quote is something that has to be remembered, so that we never will think that working hard is useless.

Army, soldier

Author's note: I decided to write about this, because in one of the books I read, every chapter had a quote or poem, and I thought that I should use this quote in my creative piece.

A thousand enemies outside the  house are better than one within. by: Arab Proverb

If there are a thousand enemies outside you have a chance of escaping, if there is one enemy inside the house they could hide anywhere in the house and capture you.
