Holiday's Writing cirlcle #3

Every nation has them, everybody loves them, the word starts with an H, It’s a holiday! I love them, and as far as I know everyone else does too. But if i asked you what a holiday is, what would you say? Here’s is what I predict most people would say:

Well they are a time for joy and happiness. To be social and giving, and care about others.

In most cases that’s correct, but that’s not always the case. Here is what i would say:

The holidays, some are joy full and sweet others maybe have other reasons for being around. Like the forth of July, does anyone really think about what our country did that day or do they just think of the parades and fireworks? Or St. Patrick's day, not a lot of people really look into the legend of it, they just celebrate the Irish culture, I bet ½ of American's don’t even know what it is!

So next 4th of July, Christmas, St. Patrick’s day, or any other holiday, just think what it’s really about.

Writing Circle 1.

I Hate school,
There is nothing fun about it,
I really wish you knew it,
If you did, You’d grow it..

It is simpiliy dread full,
and it causes me a head full,
Now i need to get my meds filled
because school is painfull

Oh, yes i really dislike it,
All the homework,
just gives me despises
of the dragging thing we call school.

Alex Rider is the best book ever!

    The style of this author Anthony Horowitz, is evolving, there is really nothing the same in each book besides the characters and of course action! Also, i wonder what goes through his mind well he is writing these, seriously i bet he is smiling the entire time as i do when i read the epic thriller.

     Why is it a thrill I would give you some connections, but quite frankly Alex is so pumped up with skill, i couldn't even dream of having an experience like him. So I am deciding to tell you a stare down i had one time, I was at Roosevelt Park in west Allis when a large sized man approached me well i was on the swings. All he did was sit down on the bench staring at me, i thought something bad was going to happen so I jumped off the swings and ran as fast as i could all the way to my house. I decided to look out the window to see if he was still there about ten minutes after and he was gone. Strange.

    As you can see i obviously dont get into the suspence and action Alex rider does with guns darts and knives, but that’s about as close as I can possibly get to something like that so i suppose it’ll have to do.

    For my closing paragraph i would encourage all of you to read the Alex Rider series like me, or at least something by: Anthony Horowitz because man this guy can sure wright a book! Alex Rider IS the best book ever!

Patriots Pen Essay

Our Country

          America, one of the most organized places in the world, well it used to be.  Don’t get me wrong I’m actually very satisfied with how our country we call home is doing, but sometimes things fall apart like everything eventually does.

            I’m hoping we can make a beautiful comeback, though and quite frankly I think we will. In my best adjectives I can give you at least have a dozen good things, beautiful, remembering, citizenship, aggressive, forgiving, and amazing. See how great that is! For anyone who doubts this country they seriously need to think twice because honestly, this is quite far the best country out there. 

            Like I said there is still room for improvement though like, especially the government. We have no money! We are going bankrupt, they need to turn this around because without a good government there would be now “America.” Also something all the country’s need to work on, is the warfare, this is all unnecessary, why cant we all respect each others believes because believe me, I guarantee that America would have about 10 trillion dollars more if there wasn’t wars, all these purchases of weapons and bombs is just stupid!

            I believe anyways, that if all these changes could be successful, America really could unite everybody everywhere and just be a respectful environment for everyone. No moreguns no more arguments about government and just plain out being respectful I truly believe that we can change America!

            To close out,  I would like to say that I love America and I am greatful for all our veterans.

Vietnam War

Author's Note: I chose this topic because i wanted to explore whati could imagine with the things i've heard about this war, mainly though it is because as you will read my father was in this war.

What would it be like seeing your friends die in Vietnam? Pretty horrid I’ll tell you that much. Here I’ll tell you a story about when my dad was in Vietnam. 

Having the first decent dream in a while, my father wakes up to a screaming drill instructor. WAKE UP YOU MAGGTOTS, TODAY IS THE SWIMMING DRILL! This for my dad was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. For one, he sucked at swimming. Also he was sicker than a dog. He is graduating from boot camp in a couple weeks.  Well, dad got out of this one, because he is in chopper platoon, he doesn’t have to do the swimming like the other troops.  graduation is also factor     he I graduating 2 days earlier.

Richard Sack! #322 platoon choppers, your a gunner mate.

                                                1 WEEK LATER 

  

While flying over the deserted Plaines of Vietnam they finally enter the city of Hanoi. Were the real battle began. Dropping troops into the city while my father guns down any threats to them. Soon enough like you were probably going to guess my dad gets hit only not by gunshot, by mortar. Yes it hit the ground when they happened to be hovering low to the ground. Getting thrown by the force of the pain to the ground of the chopper. Screaming in pain sadly there was no help near. So they had top fly hime all the way back to camp to get a medic.

After 2 weeks of healing he was ready again, but already facing one of the hardest things of his life. The mission was, to go to a rough rock that was not possible to land on. So they had to hover above it and drop. A missed drop would end up falling 300 feet to your rocky death. So my father jumped, and before he knew it he was hanging on for dear life. On the side of a rock 300 feet up, right when he had no more strength in him his squadron sergeant grabbed his hand and pulled him up. He told him this, “I only saved you because you’re my brother now all marines stick together and there’s a battle to be fought.” 

Running through small passageways and tiny caves, they finally came to the main battle field Iwo Jima. This was the bloodiest thing anyone in the platoon has ever seen. There was one objective for this mission, and that was dominating the base.  The battle went on for days and weeks, medics on the camp site about 15 miles away from the main battlefield. After two weeks of fighting stuff was finally starting to settle down. Less hostile forces and we finally had the base. We set the American flag up in victory.

                  

And THAT is the Vietnam war. As you now see what this nightmare was like.
