It was a beautiful day when we starting working. The air was fresh, the sun was out, but it was still cold. We already have the materials to build. The cobbler’s house is turning out quite pleasant. The town seems dreamy and very cozy indeed. I’m so excited to live in our brand new big house. The grass started growing! It’s very lush and green and has very many flowers. The rivers are very beautiful too. The ocean is at it’s very blue. My wife gets to do most decorating, in fact most of the women too. Men do all the house building, courageous women do some building too. Emma asked me earlier if she can build. What a dog! I told her definitely no, she is way too young and she should be playing in the fields with her friends. Anyway, the building went fine. Everyone is fine and nothing was broken while fixing things.

‘Tis a dream, ‘Tis a worry, ‘Tis a desire, ‘Tis a fright

You must let all things flow before you.

You must let them all go.

Your worries wash away quicker than you think.

Your desires are eventually your dreams.

You can wish upon a star ’tis a good night.

Live upon your worries and not your greatest frights.

Live upon your dreams, desire all you want.

Because tonight, you want it all.

Colonial America – pt 2 – Persona

My name is Scott Hannie Peterson. I am a male. Now I am 20 years old. I live with my wife and daughter. We are a very happy family and live on a plantation. My backstory started when I was 17 I married a women name Jeanie. She was a kind person. I knew I would live with her forever but then she killed a woman named Maggie Anderson’s husband. His name was Jeffery. I told Maggie I was very sorry and divorced Jeanie, from this day on I will never forget her and what she did. Then a while after I met a woman in a store named Maggie Anderson, I didn’t know it would come to this day to meet her and marry her, but I did marry her. I made a decision that I would marry her and wouldn’t betray her. A few months later we had a daughter, we named her Emma Peterson. We were happy we had a child. Almost a year later my parents decided to give my wife and I full ownership of the plantation in the Southern Colonies. So we moved there and started a brand new life with many different people that were strangers to us at first but they are now our family. We live with our slaves, cooks, and maids. We enjoy are life very much and are very happy to be a wealthy family.

My job is all about being fierce and taking ownership of my colony. I work hard and still play with my children. My wife also helps me feed the slaves after dinner, manage my colony, get to all my meetings and more. As a plantation owner I tell people what to do, it’s almost like I control them! My people are hard working and do not disobey my laws and rules. If they do they get a punishment, it’s on the charter. It’s hard being a plantation owner. Whenever someone needs to tell me a complaint it stresses me. I still hang out with my family and have fun. We have christmas parties and invite others. We like to eat gourmet meals and enjoy having banquet dinners.

 

Colonial America – pt 1 – Overview

We are doing a project about Colonial America. 8 people in each colony. There are 3 colonies. Each person in a colony has a role/job. From blacksmith to plantation owner. After we figure out more about our jobs and relationships we are going to “build” a colony out of cardboard. The colonies were… Southern, Middle, and New England. We made charters and maps already. Our teacher doesn’t help us much so we can do this on our own. She throws obstacles like hurricanes or native attacks and we have to solve it. Group work is going to be hard because a lot of people won’t back down on their idea.

Stargirl

In our class we reading “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli. This book is really interesting, especially because it is social issues. From my opinion I think that this book doesn’t seem like it’s social issues. I think that Stargirl is an interesting character to study. She is very cheerful and today while we were reading I found out about a relationship. It’s that Stargirl might like Leo the narrator. Hillary is a popular girl and used to have the power, but now Stargirl has most of the power. This book is really good and I will read the sequel after we finish the first.

Only One You – A Book Response

Follow The Path To Your Heart

 

After we read Only One You  I started thinking this book makes me think about my six word memoir more deeply. It means if you want to be the non-conformist and do something other then you want to because your heart desires that you can do that, You don’t have to conform because you have a choice of being a non – conformist and follow what your heart desires and not what somebody else’s heart desires.

 

Being different doesn’t mean being mean or looking different or having a different kind of life. It also may mean being a person that stands up for what they want or taking a different direction to what that person wants. You can follow the path to your heart and be a good difference not a bad difference. This book doesn’t only want you to be a good difference but make the world better by doing the things you want. Ex. If you really want to be a scientist but everyone else laughs at you, when you grow up and become a scientist your making the world better.

Be who you want to be not what they want to be.

 

The Reason I Chose My Passion Project

I chose to write about why people should not get rid of plastic straws. Plastic straws give me lots of memories, and whenever I use plastic straws I have a flashback of the old times. So plastic straws hold a bunch of good but old times and they are memorable. Even though people are saying we should get rid of them because it may pollute our world because we can’t break it into pieces and it would be horrible for our environment. Plastic straws are fun, I also hear the slurping sounds whenever I finish my drink, It’s fun to hear that sound. Sometimes we have to have fun with the things we have like plastic straws, what happens if we find a way to not pollute our earth with plastic straws. Some places are getting rid of plastic straws and replacing the with paper straws. I think paper straws will get soggy then it will turn gross and then we can’t reuse them. If we can’t reuse them, then we are just wasting paper, and paper comes from trees so that would mean we are cutting down tree for just the tiniest that we can’t even reuse. So it is better to keep plastic straws and I want to write about this to make a stop from changing plastic straws into another kind of straw.

The Day I Got Very Exciting News

I was reading on the couch in my parents room and I heard mom say,”Guys I have news come here.” Me and my sister Sara ran to her bed. I slumped onto the bed with a jump and waited for my ears to hear some exciting news. I squealed and bounced forward. With all my excitement I said, “What is it?!” I waited with a huge smile on my face. Sara was like normal not super excited like me. “For winter break, we’re going too… LAS VEGAS! We’re also going to see the Grand Canyon and more places!” Mom said. I was really jumpy by now. We are going to eat tons of food because the food there is yummy!” Mom said. “Cool!” Said Sara. By now I was annoyed Sara wasn’t super excited like me, because it was definitely cool! “Is dad going to come?” I asked hoping he would. Mom nodded with delight. I smiled back. “He’s going to be back by then.” I smiled again, with more happiness and excitement and went back to the couch to read my book with a happier smile on my face. “Bedtime!” Mom said. I shook my head no because I was happy we were going to Las Vegas, and finally got up and walked to my room still with a smile on my face.
