The hut

The cold air

A cracked door

The fallen snow

There will be more

 

The rusted bell

An old mail bod

A leaf that fell

A wall of rock

 

No door knob

Some broken glass

Who lived here

In the passed                               

The Road

The Road is a good book. A lot happens in this book in a short amount of time. The author does a great job of painting a vivid picture with descriptive words. Because there is so much happening throughout the book it isn’t always easy to follow. The place the characters are changes rapidly so you really have to be paying attention.

 The book is about two people (a man and a boy) that think they are the last people alive. They struggle to find food and shelter, but somehow they live to see another day. They get scared, tired, hungry, and cold, but the father and son never give up on finding other people or surviving.

The author never announces the names of the characters, and I think it adds a very different prospective. I liked this book but it can be confusing. Although it is confusing sometimes, I think it is a great book and the topic is very cool.

Champion Chips

I had just showed to the youth basketball championship. Half of my team was warming up and waiting for everyone to show up. I joined them in the drills, and we were all observing the other team while getting ready. They were good, and they made a lot of shots in their warm up, but I thought that my team could win.

We went to the bench and my coach gave the team a pep talk, and told everyone what position to play. I was center, and my friend Alexander was the point guard. We had made some plays and were ready to use them in our final game. Everyone who was playing first went to check in them got on the court.

Our shoes squeaked as we jogged onto to our positions. Once both teams were ready Mason Prepared to jump. The ball goes up in the air, and Mason tips it to Alexander. We run down the court and right off the bat we score. The other tem brought it down the court, and we started defending. I stole the ball and passed it off.

I got into position right out of the three point line, and alexander passed me the ball. I take the shot and it flies into the net. Swish! The game was constantly going back and forth, Scoring or not. The shoes made high pitch squeaks when someone moved or faked another out. Forty-five minutes passed and it was close but we won!

When the buzzer went off my team was jumping up and down, and congratulating each other. We high five the other team and go to the awards room. My heart was pounding because of happiness and excitement. My team got a big trophy and each player got a medal. Pictures were being taken of our team and the trophy. I had so much fun, and I wish I could re-live that game.

Lights Out

The dark had covered the town like a black blanket. My sister, our friends, and I, were watching a movie in the basement. We had no idea what was about to happen. We were in the middle of a hilarious movie, and laughing and having a great time. The parents were upstairs chatting while they here laughter from the basement.

Our, I walk upstairs for a minute to grab something from upstairs. When I got there I spent some time to find my phone so I could find out what a character’s name in the movie was. While I was looking the lights go out in my room. I hear some screams from down stairs and I look out my window, and the lights from the houses around me were all going out. Power outage.

I run downstairs with a flash light I found on my desk in hand. My mom had found a flashlight too. It was fine on the main floor, but when I got to the basement, every one that was watching the movie was screaming, and tripping over their own feet. I aim the flashing at each one of them. With the light the screaming stopped and I told them it wasn’t just our house.

After we all calmed down we got extra lights and lit up the basement. We built a fort and continued the movie on my sister’s IPad.  We were laughing and saying how each one of us got stepped on or bruised something. The lights came on soon after, but we having so much fun I turned the lights off right away.

Champion

This book has action and adventure. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t stop. I was sucked into the book, and it felt like I was an extra character in the book. Champion is about the same characters that are in Legend and Prodigy (Day and June). They had just stopped and attach and this book is the aftermath, but with new adventures. This is a great book if you like action/science fiction/adventure. This was fun to read, the description was great in the book. Throughout the book I felt like I was in it as an extra characters watching from the shadows. I enjoyed this book, and I highly suggest it.

Rain

It was the night of the full moon, and I had just walked out of the place I was staying in Turks and Caicos. My cousins (Kaya and Siena) were wearing white close and so was my family. Our parent chatted while the kids walked down to the beach. We were having a full moon party and that’s why we were in whit close.

Once everyone was at the beach we went on a walk on the beachside. The moon lit up the sand and water as if it was daytime. My cousins, sister, and I jumped around on the beach. After about fifteen minutes of walking on the beach, we could see rain cloud rolling in. We kept walking.

The palm trees were blowing because of the breeze, but it felt kind of nice. The clouds got closer, and we could all tell that it was about to rain. I turn around and start walking back, and so does the rest of my family. A few rain drops start falling, so the parents walk faster, but I almost wanted it to start raining harder. And it did.

The parents start running the opposite way than the kids with all of the things we didn’t want to get wet, but my cousins, sister, and I all run into the rain. The rain made the sand feel like silk every step I took. Our faces were dripping water, and our close stuck to our bodies.

 It kept raining for a few more minutes, then we walk to the house for dinner. We all talked about how the rain felt, and what we did in it. We couldn’t stop thinking about the rain, and we were still soaking wet.

Racing an Airplane

It was a hot day on Little Cayman, and my dad had just rented a scooter. He said I could drive it around the island. Going around Little Cayman would probably take about twenty minutes. He showed me how to go fast and slow and where the brake was. It seemed easy so I hop on and my dad rides on one behind me.

I rev the engine, and then drive off. The wind was blowing my hair, and the scooter was kicking up small pebbles behind me. I felt like I was going fast, but I was going the speed limit. We didn’t see any cars so my dad tells me to speed up. I slowly accelerate, then I se an airplane about to take off.

The pilot had just straitened out to take off. I slow down and come to a stop and look and the pilot. He smiles and me and tips is cap. I smile back, and notice his and raze. He starts counting down from five. He wanted to race me! His propellers speed up, and I rev the engine. 5,4,3,2,1!

His plane moves forward, as I speed off. I could feel some of the wind from the propellers. After all, the runway was next to the road. I go faster and so does the airplane. I look at it as it starts lifting off the ground. The pilot smiles at me again right before he picks up more speed and flies away.

I forgot my dad was behind me, so I slow down and look at my dad who was now beside my. I had a huge grin on my face. I had just raced an airplane! We continue the ride, and the whole time I was thinking I raced and airplane.
