Final Story...


Captured

Suddenly he awoke from a deep sleep and found himself lying on a random bed. He got up and searched the room trying to find something that he could use to find out where he was.  He saw a TV set and turned it on, it was on a news channel and he saw that it had been a couple days since he last knew what day it was.  Had all this time actually passed he thought in his head?  He saw a door and walked into another room to find himself finding another door and another.  He kept going through them until he came to a dark lit room with a door that had a light coming from underneath it. He also saw a shadow of two legs. He walked up to the room door and put his ear as close as he could trying to hear if the people outside were saying anything. They were muttering back and forth in another language. It must have been Russian because all the things in the room seemed to follow the Russian culture. Gathering himself to believe that he was captured, he tried to put together a plan that would let him out He didn’t have many resources and supplies but he did have his intensive training and he was the best secret agent out there. He carefully opened the door and smashed the guards into each other. They bought were knocked out and he silently moved across the hall trying to see if he could get himself out of the building. It was very complicated but he came to fire exit with a map and mapped himself a way out. It was a very big building and there were guards everywhere. He kept taking them out but it was only temporary that they would be shut down for. He knew he had to make it out of there soon before the whole army was on him. He decided to put on one of the soldiers uniform and use it as protection. Along the way he came up to the armory room and found weapons. He knew it had to be quiet and quick so he grabbed small weapons and silencers, making sure he only grabbed a few not to have too much on him. Walking out he came up to three guards and walked right past them. His costume had worked, but it would be only a few minutes before he was compromised and all the other guards he had taken out were found by the other guards that had just passed him. He began to run in the direction he was heading until he came up to a dead end. Looking around frantically he couldn’t find anything so he ran the way he came back and came up to door on the left. Entering the room he found a window and looked out of it. He was about twenty to thirty stories high and the outside was flat so he couldn’t escape from the outside. He went back out and looked for a stair well; still he couldn’t find anything so he went back to the room. In the room there was a bed with some linens, so he grabbed them and tied them together to make a rope. A few feet under him outside there was another window. He decided to tie them to a door and began climbing his way down the rope. Before he entered the window he searched it and it was empty. He tried to lift the window and it didn’t work, so he kicked back and smashed through it. Once he got himself back up he opened the room door and made his way out. There was no one there, everything looked abandoned. Walking down the hall he came up to a security room and found cameras and TVs watching everything. He took a look and saw that the building had actually been completely abandoned, but there was a full army force waiting at the front of the building waiting to come out. He thought that at this point everything was going to end, because there was no way out of the building. He knew he needed to buy some time and contact someone for help. He tried to find a phone and had no luck. Luckily there was a computer, but it didn’t work. He was ending up with some bad luck but he did find a signal radio. Not finding anything else he tried to hook up the radio and computer so he could get a code out for help. He sent out a morse code for help and the navy responded. They were on their way to where he sent the code from. Turns out they were actually looking for him. He still knew that he had to buy some time because they might have been a little further than expected from each other. There was another armory room and he got supplies from there and decided to set up a trap in the hallway, just in case someone decided to come up and get him. The security room was the best room for him he thought so he stuck it out in there. All he had was a bunch of grenades a machine gun with magazines enough to staff a small armory and a clever. He was set and ready. Suddenly a bomb went off and the army was making its way up searching every place possible looking for him. They were still many floors under him but he needed more time so he decided to move up in the building. Finding the stair well he started placing some of the c4 and other bombs he had found in the armory to delay the come up of the army. The noises were getting closer and closer and the gun fire was everywhere. They were breaching and clearing every room. There must have been more prisoners here because he heard people screaming from a two way radio that he had taken from the guard he had killed earlier. They were on to him and they knew he was dressed as one of them; there was no way to pull off that he was a part of them because they were clearing all the rooms and all the guards that were in the building had left. Grabbing onto his gun he was ready for a fight even though he was outnumbered by a big shot he still wouldn’t go down without a fight. The army got closer and closer and he set off his traps. They were now becoming more frustrated that one guy had done this damage to the army. They knew to walk in caution because of the traps. Suddenly one of the guards had spotted him and came at him, not knowing what to do he let off another bomb and the guy exploded right in front of him and his body shattered everywhere. The navy was here to save him; it would only be a few more minutes of wasting time before he would be rescued. He took his gun and started to the top there was a chopper waiting up there for him. As he made his way up a guard that he had taken down earlier got up and wanted to fight. He smacked him with his gun and kept going up. Once he was on the roof he ran to the helicopter and jumped into it. It took off and went to safety; the only thing was it didn’t look to be the US. It was another country, at that point a guy on the chopper put a needle into him and he felt drowsy and suddenly fainted. It was back to square one; he was captured by another country and taken to a different prison building.

Class Reflection Journal

Things that I really liked about the class was that it was simple and easy to understand. It really helped just to come and write. I really enjoyed doing the lyrics assignment because it was a nice way to learn the meaning of songs and being exposed to more types of music than what I am used to listening to. I think that this class was good because it was also a calm atmosphere and we got time to work and write. I learned a lot more about poetry too. It helped me build on writing poetry and seeing how it is really put into music in different ways.

Things that I disliked was the writing the short stories because it really got lengthy and at some points I just kept rambling and adding detail that was not needed to it. Another thing was that the daily journals were getting kind of boring after awhile. Also the time was an issue because over half of the class was taken by daily journal and lyrics. The lyrics was good but the journal time was really lengthy especially on some days where there was not much to write about.

Restaurant Experience

The worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant was when we were at the airport in England. I remember my dad had a sky lounge pass and we went into it. The food looked good but once I had some of it, the food wasn't that great. What they had to offer wasn't good either, most the things there didn't look good to me so I didn't take it. I was really hungry so I had some smaller things but the food just wasn't right. I think it was meant for older people or just because they didn't have anything else because it didn't look really popular either.

Restaurant Journal

I would make an italian restaurant. It would be called Heaven full of Pasta. It would be a proper sit down restaurant with a nice atmosphere and the food would be the best. The best dish there would be the alfredo and it would be the best in the country. We would also have other pasta dishes that are really good too but the alfredo would be the special. It would have more of a calm and relaxing touch to it with some lighting and nice seats to sit in. The restaurant would have to be in a really nice area in California. The food would be a little bit more expensive but the food would be high quality and the dishes would be really big because we would want to feed you.

Picture Journal

The man stood there. He looked around and all he could see was a chair. He grabbed it and lifted it above him. This was his favorite chair so he knew that if he didnt have to smash it he wouldn't. He sat there and watched the small critter move under the rug. It wouldn't stop moving, it kept going in circles. He grabbed the rug and slightly moved it a bit. The thing ran into his favorite table that had an antique lamp on it and the lamp started to shake it was just about to fall. He quickly threw the chair down and smashed it onto the thing that was underneath the rug and it stopped moving. He waited and there was still no movement. He wrapped the thing in the rug and tossed it out the window.

Sci-Fi Story Paper

The Story………..

I suddenly awoke, finding myself in a large room and in an ice cold container. I stepped out and looked around searching for someone or something but nothing was there. I am careful and try and make my way out of the room. As I open the door, I hear voices in a distance, so I open the door slightly so I can peek out and see what is going on. All I could see were people everywhere and they had lab coats on. Things were getting creepier by the second, so I decided to get some clothes on that were on the table and walk out. Then all of a sudden an old man came up to me and looked happy. I didn’t know what was going to happen, so I turned around and walked the other way. He screamed my name and I kept walking. He screamed my name again and I decided to turn around to confront him. He kept going on about what had happened a hundred years ago and that I was frozen until now. He said that we were in the year 2111 and I was about to lose my mind. I thought this was some crazy joke so I turned around and ran. I couldn’t get out of the building since everything was so complicated and under surveillance. I had no idea what was going on and was about to lose my mind, when he took me to my room and showed me a story on a TV. Everything was different, technology had evolved and trends had changed. It was coming to me more and more that I could actually be in the year 2111 and that this was not a joke. As I learned more, he helped me get comfortable with my surroundings and took me to the cafeteria to get me some food. I wondered what the food would be like since I hadn’t eaten in a hundred years. As I was eating, I  kept wanting more, everything was so delicious. Once I was done having my dinner, one of the workers came up to me and took me to the training room. He said that this is where my training would take place. I didn’t know why I was being trained, but I was told I would be filled in with the details at a later time, so I went with it. After the intense training session, they sent me to my room to freshen up. In my room there was a huge shower, it was the best shower that I had taken ever the water was perfect and I wanted to stay in it forever but I had to get to the meeting room quickly, so I left after awhile. In the meeting room, I was filled in on everything. The things they said were rushing through my mind. I was supposed to be a driver for a intelligent supercar called KITT. I didn’t know what KITT was but after they took me to the main area where the car was being worked on. It was amazing; I was beginning to get excited that I was going to get to drive this car. I went up to it and sat inside of it, when all of a sudden it began talking to me. I didn’t know what was going on but it knew everything about me and it suddenly closed the driver side door and the big garage door opened up. It happened so fast I didn’t know what to do. It told me to take the wheel and buckle up. I was now ready to take this car for a drive and we tore out of the garage. I didn’t have any control of the car because KITT was controlling everything. I told it to let me drive but it denied my request, so I just went along. We were now flying at 150 mph and were still rising. After going in an enormous circle of the airfield we went back into the garage and parked, so I could be let out. I was determined to be the driver of this car and was still was very nervous about being a part of this project.  I had a talk with the master again and he went on giving me all the details of the car and the assignment that I had of taking down its clone car that was causing havoc around everywhere. He said that all the descriptions were similarly same but that KITT was a better car and that the driver was unknown in the other car. He said that there might not even be a driver so that I would have to be careful in taking it down. Going on I began to wonder if this was the mission for me and wondered why I had been chosen to be the driver of this car. He told me that  the car and I were alike and that I had been destined to be the driver of this car. I went back to my room and laid down, so many thoughts were running through my head right now and I kept thinking that if I was chosen I had to complete this mission and not fail. I went back to the garage and talked to KITT, I told him that I wanted to go for a drive and that I would drive and control the car. It went along with me and we tore out of the garage. Once we were out of the airfield and into the city the master came onto the screen of the car and told me to come back because I wasn’t ready. I kept driving and ignored him until KITT took over. We ended up going back to the hangar and the master gave me a handful. He told me I wasn’t supposed to take the care without clearance because work was still being done on it and that the car was not perfect yet. I just listened but he said that I would be able to take it for a test run tomorrow again.
                The next day had arrived and I got ready and hopped into the car. As I left the hanger and got into the city, I found the other KITT car. It was driving around wild, we were then spotted and it came after us. I didn’t know what to do, so I let KITT take over and it tried to get us away. It kept chasing us and would back down, so I took over and turned the car around. The fight had just begun and I didn’t fully know what the buttons meant in the car but the master had come on the screen and began to help me. He told me to get out of there if I could and run, but I told him that it wasn’t possible because the other car had kept chasing us and we couldn’t lose it. He said that there were weapons on the car that would help but he didn’t know if they were fully functional yet on the car. I pressed some button and nothing happened, I then knew that he was right, not all controls worked yet on the car. He told me to drive and gave me a GPS point location to a safe house. I floored it straight out and let KITT take over again and we were near to the safe house, with the other KITT car still on our tail. The master then told me there was a barrier that would shut down the car before I reached the safe house so I would have to then take over. As we got closer the other KITT car turned around and left, it had sniffed out the barrier and since it didn’t have a driver, it left. I finally got back to the hanger and had a word with the master.
                “Get it ready and fully functional because the next time we come in contact with the other KITT car it will be the last time for one of the cars,” I said.
                “Your right, we will get to work on it right away and everything will work, just give us some time,” said the master.
I went to my room and refreshed myself a bit, I now saw what the other car could do and that it was very smart too. I needed to be smarter and one step ahead of it to take it out for good. I went to the garage and talked to KITT.
                “KITT, we got one mission and we need to succeed, once you are ready together we will destroy the other car,”
                “Yes, but I see hesitation in your voice sir,”
                “I just hope we can do it because only one of us will come out,”
                “I understand, we can do it.”
I had some doubt, but I knew we could do it somehow. I had for some reason become sort of attached to the car. Maybe the master was right, I was meant to drive it. I went to the master’s room and he gave me in detail all of the weapons and options on the car. He said that some of them were limited so I had to use the well and not waste any of them. He said the car would support and help and I had to do only few of the things it couldn’t.
                After awhile the car was finally ready, diagnostics had been completed and there were no flaws on the car. Out on the airfield I did some training and practicing with the car just to make sure everything worked and functioned as it was supposed to. Things worked out great and I took the car back in to get it resupplied and ready for the next run. The other KITT car was still causing trouble in the city and I was ready to take it on the next time we met.
                I decided to go for a little cruise into the city and see more in depth of what it was like and what it had to offer. So many things had changed and everything was different. It was so nice and peaceful, that everyone there was having a great time and enjoying themselves. I decided to go to a restaurant that had been rated as one of the best in the country and the food there was amazing. Starting as you walk in the service was great and quick. I wanted to stay there forever but the KITT called me. The master had given me a watch and when something was wrong KITT would beep in to me. I ignored it at first but then it wouldn’t stop so I went out to the car. KITT told me that the other KITT car was coming closer and closer to us and that it was do damage to the other part of the city. KITT then took off and we were heading in the direction of the other car, when suddenly it found us. It stopped right in front of us and sat there. It then turned around and went in the other direction. I told KITT to follow it and we did for miles until we reached an abandoned factory. This is where the other KITT car was hiding and we were on its home turf. Out of a door it flew at us and hit us, it was now on. I turned the defenses up and we watched as we were being circled. I shot it with some of the guns but it was as good as us and it didn’t let up. The battle kept going on and on and soon we were almost out of ammo. I turned to the screen and started to talk to the master,
                “You’re on your own, find a weakness and take the other car out. I don’t know what else to do.” he said.
                “Thanks, looks likes I only have few supplies left, let’s do it.” I said back.
I turned back and began to KITT.
                “KITT, it’s on us now, let’s go,”
                “Yes sir.”
I had an idea. The only way to get rid of the car was to destroy it for good. Since our defenses were still good, there was only one way, going head on at the car and crashing it. I turned the car around and went back and spun the car around. We had to get speed; the other car remained where it was. I pressed the foot down all the way and told KITT to give it all it had. I turned not to look as we collided head on. I looked up and I was still there alive. The car had been severely damaged and the other car was destroyed. I got out and went to look at scrap left of the other car. It had been destroyed and this time for good. I went back to my car and KITT wouldn’t answer me. I drove it back to the hanger as fast as I could but the car had been damaged pretty badly. As I got in I told the master to fix it and get it done fast.
                As time went by, I went back to the garage and the car looked like new. I sat in and KITT began to talk again. We were finally back as a team again and had completed the mission to destroy the bad clone KITT car.

Behind her the noise escalated Journal

Behind her the noise escalated and I don't know what the noise was. I am going to free write because this is a weird topic to write about. The weather is finally getting a little better outside again and a lot of the snow is gone. I am so happy spring is almost here. The Twins also have their season opener against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight so it should be a solid game. This season should be good for the Twins and hopefully we can make it to the playoffs. I don't know what else to write......

Spring Break Journal

Over spring break I went to London. I went to visit some family and to get out of Minnesota. Overall it was a very good trip and I have many memories from it. Flying out was hard because the flight was canceled and the next day the flight was delayed, so all the passengers were pissed. But once we arrived in London everyone was happy to finally be at their destination. I enjoyed just hanging out there and I didn't end up really doing much. The weather for some reason was very nice and it was always warm and sunny. I had a good time and it was a nice getaway from Minnesota.

If you could invent one thing to help mankind, what would it be Journal

If you could invent one thing to help mankind it would be a way to have unlimited oil. I would do that so that gas prices will be cheaper and we wouldn't be worrying about running out of it. It would have a positive effect on the fact that people could get to places without whining about prices and even though it would be unlimited prices would still have to be at a steady rate so that it doesn't get out of hand. This is something that I would invent so that the world be a more easier and a better place.

"I once dreamed about..." Journal

I once dreamed about living the life. I had a big beach house out in California and had a bunch of sick cars all over my big garage. I loved taking them all out to the track I owned. I would go to work for some of the day and when I came home it would be time to chill and watch tv on my 100 inch tv. On it I would also waste some kids on my xbox. Playing it was too easy for me, I was the best and no one could stop me. I would then get ready and have a bunch of people over and we would chill. Until I got bored people would stay and then I would do something else. I would go out to the beach and chill with the people because all the people on the beach were cool and were all having a great time.

Shoe Car Journal

This one dude one day wanted to buy a new car. He wanted something new and different, something that no one else had. He went from dealership to dealership seeing if they had a car that no one had and he came out with no luck. So he went to craigslist and searched for a custom car that no one else had. The first post was by this shoe maker. He was selling a car but he put no pictures of it on it. He decided to give the number a call and set up an appointment with the guy. Later on he went and visited the guy at the guys warehouse. It was a bit creepy but once he got in he saw it and fell in love. The price of it didn't matter for the guy but he wanted it so bad he bought it without going for a test drive. He handed the guy a check and rolled off the lot in it. He kept driving it and driving it happily. Once it was broken in he would do some races like the one in this picture. He knows he could waste any car in his way. He loved his shoe car until it broke because of the wear and tear on it.

"My Journey on a Pirate Ship."

We relax on the big cruise ship we are on. It is day three of a seven day trip across the ocean. We sit at the restaurant and eat the all you can eat buffet. I go up and look out the window and see a bunch of small boats in a distant coming closer and closer to the ship. I didn't know if what to do so I decided to go back to my room and take a nap. As I woke up I noticed everyone running around and the ship was different, it was the same atmosphere that it was before. I opened my door and a random person on the ship came in and said that the ship was being taken over by pirates. I knew we needed to call for help but my cell phone didn't work and there wasn't an emergency phone in sight. I kept hoping that everything would be alright and that the pirates would go away after they got what they needed. Then all of a sudden one pirate came up to me and said hello and walked away. All of them were leaving and they got what they had wanted. They had taken most of the food and left. The journey went on and I was happy that the ship wasn't still taken over by pirates. Until it turns out that one pirate stayed on the ship and was driving the ship who knows where. We arrived on the coast of some country and it looked very nice. I didn't know where I was but I wanted to go home. The ship was now taken over by some people on the dock and they started to take us and all of our stuff off the ship. They didn't want to do anything with us so they let us go and do whatever but they had taken the ship and it was theirs now

Final Poem

Back in the day
we roll up in my lambo
rollin down the windows all the way
we see people watching the movie rambo
don't act like you don't want to ride with us
got the subs kicking out some deep bass
its almost like we are on a party bus

Perfect Day

My perfect day would be that I would wake up get ready and go out to get something good to eat. I would go to a nice breakfast restaurant that has the best waffles. Then I would go out and throw money in the air until I get bored. I would go to and a Buggati and go to a race track and then try to hit its highest speed. Once I have had the thrill of doing that I would go out to cali and go clubbing for a bit on my sick private jet. After all the fun I would go out and eat dinner at the best restaurant in the world and go clubbing some more. As the night would come to a close, I would go spend time with people and do somethings that I enjoyed. I would then go on my private jet again and have a crazy party in the air

Villanelle Poem

He grabs the ball
ready to be the best
that he wants to get a call

He doesn't want to fall
so he throws on a vest
after he picks up the ball

He decideds to make a call
and give himself a test
to see if can ball

He doesn't want to get in a brawl
so he wont hurt his chest
so then he cant ball

He grabs the ball
so he can rep the west
because thats whats the call
He plays without a fall
as he is very stressed
and has doubts when he is about to ball
he is not about to crawl

10 most important moments

1. Being born in April of 1993
2. About to graduate from high school
3. Getting accepted to college
4. Living in England
5. All the traveling I have done with my family
6. Getting my license
7. Getting my first job
8. Having my own first pet fish
9. Getting my job at a golf course
10. Buying the first thing with my own earned money

Etheree Poem

Wow
I see
the sun out
shining on us
brightly on this day
walking outside I feel
summer is finally here
I have shorts and a t-shirt on
getting ready to go somewhere nice
time to have a really good time outside.

How ridiculous I was as a...

How ridiculous I was as a octopus. I would always be silly and goofy while being drenched in water. I would run around and then hop into the water and twist around in circles. It was the best time being an octopus and doing things octopuses do. They basically chill and sit in a spot for a long time and when something comes up if they like it they will go along with it or if they hate it they will chill in one spot. Being in the water was the best part. Even though I couldn't be underneath for long I still made the most I had of being down there. Being in the water for most of the time was great. I loved swimming around like an optopus and doing nothing. I did a lot of the stuff they did but not all. I didn't have all the talents that octopuses had and didn't really care. It was an rediculous time but it was better than expected.

Acrostic Poem

Dillon is a student
I am in my final years
Loves sports
Likes the sun
Onto college next year
Now to be excited for nice weather

Can work hard
Has no pets
A tall person
Under the sun
Hates crazy animals
A worker  
Not waiting for anymore snow

If I could change the world

I would choose a good candidate to be president and then find good fits for all of the legislative branch. I would also change up some of the laws and rules for the leaders. Once that is done there would be elections for each state to get someone that people want running the state. Once all the roles are set I would demolish the national debt for good and start out fresh. Once that is done I am going to get more jobs for people and build a strong military. At that point our country would be set and we would build more allies to support us and we would support them. We would help countries that are really in need.

Concrete Poem

I see lights
everywhere I walk
they gleam into my eyes
some flash as i walk by them
the different colors, a lot being red and green
and all other colors including blue, yellow, and green
flashing and still
they shine
bright

The house was made of...

The house was made of bricks. It was like a rock from outside and perfectly comfortable on the inside. Outside sat a wooden wagon from back in the day and from the looks of it, it had a wobbly left rear wheel. The made Gabby was sent out to go and fix it but she had very little luck doing so. I saw her squinting so I went and grabbed her a pair of glasses. The twinkle in her eyes said everything. She knew she probably couldn't fix it but she still kept trying. Going back into the house everything was lit and amazing. There were paintings everywhere and people walking around. The house had large rooms and a wonderful back yard. There was a huge lake in the back and a basketball court too. The house also had a huge deck that led to the upper floors. The house had so much to offer but the price was too high. We would have to negotiate to something reasonable for us.

Sonnet Poem

Should I walk out into the cold weather
or should I stay inside the house and chill
I wish here it could be a lot better
maybe if it was summer I could grill
wow i really need something to do right now
I sit by the fire thinking of something
I look outside and see a giant plow
I decide in my mind to do nothing
I walk back to the living room and sit
I begin to dream about the finer things
I see she is about to have a big fit
I suddenly hear a very loud cha ching
it must have been a crazy bad dream
because I see myself about to scream

Dinner Journal

If I could invite three people to a dinner table with them being either living or dead it would be Lebron James, Paul Walker and Percy Harvin. I would have Lebron there because he is a beast and one of the best athletes out in the sports world. He is a big icon and is really good at playing basketball. He also seems to be a chill guy because when he left Cleveland to go play for the Miami Heat a lot of his fan and others gave him a lot of crap and he has stayed strong throughout it. Next I would like to have Paul Walker because he is in some of the favorite movies including the Fast and the Furious. Lastly I would like Percy Harvin because I love football and the team he plays for which is the Minnesota Vikings. He is a really good football player and is very exciting to watch because he can change a game within seconds. Also he is my favorite sports player. I would invite these three to my dinner table beacause I believe we would have a good meal and a chill time.

Assonance Poem

It's a game of four on four on the court
He balls till he falls
He jumps and pushes his shots for some swooshes
To pass fast or make a turnover
I see a flash as he makes a slash
He moves and shoves
The defender gets at him until he surrenders
He boots it out and the other guy shoots
It's out and the coach shouts
If there is a foul he will scowl
To defend till the end
To win the game for fame.

Scary Moment

I remember once when I was young I went on a RV trip with my family and my cousins. We were in Canada and were visiting some people. We were staying at there house that evening but the RV was parked outside in the street. I had forgot something in it and I went out to get it. It was almost like midnight and it was very creepy outside. I went out and got into the RV fine and went to get what I was looking for when my cousins decided to play a prank on me. I was in the RV looking for awhile and they decided to come outside and start banging all around the side of the RV. Inside all I could hear was the loud noises and I got freaked out. I didn't know what was going on, I was pretty sure I was going to get robbed or something. I kept freaking out for awhile because the noise kept happening and I decided to hide in the bedroom. After the noise had stopped I didn't know if I should leave because what if the people that were banging on the RV were still outside waiting for me to come out. At that point I waited and waited and then decided to bolt out of the RV. I ran out the door and into the house scared as hell. As I got inside I went and saw my cousins giggling. I knew it had been them and they had scared the crap out of me. I then went back out to the RV and locked it up because I had ran out of it earlier.

Onamatopeia Poem

Wordle: Untitled

Free Journal

I woke up and was in shock. I wondered what had just happend and then it came to me. All I could see was a blur. I looked around and saw my room. I kept thinking how did I get here. Then I got up and went to the fridge. I looked outside and all I saw was a huge blizzard and there was no way I could leave my house. I opened the door and there was a pile high of snow up to my knees. All I could say was wow. I went for a shower and got dressed. As I sat on my couch I looked for something to do and there was nothing. I knew that if I tried to leave my house I wouldn't make it very far and would possibly would get stuck so I stuck to my gut and stayed inside. As time wore on and on I was very bored. I went to my basement and turned on the xbox. Everyone was online. So I gamed for sometime and decided that I probably should go shovel or else there might be too much gathered up later. As I got outside I kept shoveling and shoveling and was out there for over an hour. As I got back inside I was fully bored again and sat there bored out of my mind. I wanted to do something so I got up and went back outside. I didn't make it far. As I sat there I wondered what to do now.

Alliteration Poem

The big bright sun
it is time to tug my way outside
time to have freaking fun
I got to get into my magnificent monster ride

As the sweet smell of sweat sweeps past me
I stop stare and look at the sky
the beautiful beastly beach I can see
in the my delusional drastic dream I believe I can fly.

Earliest childhood memory

One memory that I remember is playing in the back yard we had a pool and a bunch of cool toys. I loved to drive the little car I had around the yard. I would hop onto it and just keep driving. Once I was tired I would go over to where the other toys were and grab something else to play with. Since it was sunny I just stayed outside while my dad grilled some food and then I would go over to the pool that we had and swim. I loved the pool that I had and I would stay in it. After that I would go over and get more toys. All I did was play with the toys. I also climbed the tree we had. It was the best tree to climb. As the night grew closer and the sun began to set I would head inside and find something else to do. Inside there would be more toys and tv too.

Sense of time poem

July
July is bright yellow
The color of lemons
July feels like a hot day
July sounds like fireworks
July smells like the best air freshner in the world
July tastes like your favorite food
July is a warm and sunny time

A man walks out....

A man walks out into the cold night air. His hands are shaking from what just happend. I am drive past him and decide that I should see what is up even though I don't know him. It is almost midnight and it looks a little bit shady but I still decide to do it. As I back up he still stands there I don't know if he is in shock or if he is lost or something. As I stop he starts walking towards me and I am getting very nervous. He is still shaking and I see that he came from the back of the alley. Also back there was a club and I was for sure that he came from there. I was about to call 911 to see if they could help him but it was too late and he started to run away. I didn't know if I was supposed to follow him or let him go. So I followed him for a couple blocks just to make sure he was ok. Turns out he went into another club. At that point I decided to leave and head to where I was going.

Free Write Journal

There was only ten seconds left until I had to enter and everyone was going crazy. For a second time stopped and everything was still. I was off in my own world thinking about what had just happened. And then everything came back. I had to finish what I had started. I walk into the colliseum and see the crowd. They were rooting for me and I had to come out with the win. My opponent then walked in and we glared at each other until we had to take our positions. I knew I had to take him out quickly, otherwise I would have been in trouble. I look to my right and saw a lion. I didn't know what was going on now. It started to dash around the pit and we stood still hoping it wouldn't attack us. I then moved to the middle until I was side by side with whom was supposed to be my opponent. We kept turning in a circle and were trying to throw out ideas that could help us beat this beast. The other guy then jumped out and was attacked, he thought he could take the lion on by himself but he was forced to retreat back to the middle after. We kept thinking but nothing could work so we just continued and continued to stand there.

Cinquain Poem

Baseball
It is the best
Playing it all the time
Chewing on some sunflower seeds
Out there

I wake up...

I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm. I see a flashing light far away from me. I try to move but the pain keeps me down. I feel a shiver as the cool wind blows onto me. Turning around I continue to search for something but nothing can be found. With all I can I get up and walk around. The lights come on and I look around trying to see if I can find something. On the table there is a glass of water and some biscuits. I quickly grab the food and eat it. Then a microphone comes on and starts voicing off random words in a different language. I try to translate it but it is very choppy. A door then opens and I run out as quick as I can. All I can is a long narrow hallway. I continue down it and get to an exit. Still the pain is hurting me pretty badly. I bust through the door and onto a dirt road. There is nothing in sight for miles. Then out of nowhere I see a small truck coming my way. I stand in the middle and it stops. The guy gets out tells me he will give me a ride. I hop in and we drive for hours and hours until finally we reach a small city. Still no clue where I am the guy takes me to a hospital and I get some help. After I felt better I left the hotel and went out to explore the city. I think I might have been in Europe or something. I keep searching until I get to coffee shop and find out I am in Spain.

Metaphor Poem

Life is a game.
There are rules that come and go,
Competition is always there,
The results are unknown,
It has its up and downs,
Sometimes there is a bias,
Not everyone is fair.
Well life is just like a game.

Friend Journal

Me and my friend have done a lot of things together. We know each other very well. We grew up together and spent a lot of time hanging out. My friend is always there and we work well together. We always chat and have good times together hanging out. He is really funny and has good jokes. We don't hang out as much anymore like we used to but we still keep in touch. There have been a lot of memories we have together from things we have done. I remember we would always chill at his pool during the summer and just have a blast. Through the years we have kind of gone our own ways but we still are pretty good friends.

Simile Poem

Snow is like heaven.
It is as white as the brightest polar bear.
Snow tastes as good as a bad smoothies
and can be as bad as death.
In the end it is like being in a world of your own.

Similes

1. A calendar is like a mirror because you look at it everyday.
2. A sandwich is like a untamed dog because it can be messy.
3. An ice cube is like a cookie because its delicious.
4. A knife is like a whisper because it can be sharp.
5. Kissing is like a careful collision because it can have harsher consequences if it was hard.
6. Walking outside with wet hair on a freezing cold day feels like a peeled grape.        
7. I dont know what feels like leftover spaghetti.
8. Falling in love sounds like heaven because you feel so good.
9. A dentist’s drill feels like getting hit by a baseball because it hurts sometimes more than others.
10. Tomato soup tastes like bleeding hearts because it is orange.

Out of the dark...

Out of the dark we came, into the midnight air. I turned around quickly to hear some tires squealing. I look around to make sure no one was by us. This part of the neighborhood was very dangerous and it reeked of gas and trash. I looked around and found a garbage can with a trumpet in it and a crafty old broken stool. I grabbed a piece of the stool as protection just in case something was about to happen. The area we were in was getting real shady and we clenched onto the stool pieces we had hoping to get out of this part of town alive. Out of nowhere we saw a pair of lights drawing closer and closer to us. We jumped into the bushes and waited until it passed but it never did. It stopped right next to us, we were spotted. The person in the car came out and it was a friend. We were saved, we got into the car and drove out of where we were.

Limerick

There once was a dog named bon
as soon as you saw him he's gone
he didn't care about anything there
that he couldn't bear to even share
he could be on your front lawn

Day in life 10 years from now

Today I woke up lying on my bed in my room with my flat screen giving me some sports news. I live in Long Beach by the beach. I leave the room and go downstairs to my kitchen and open up the fridge and get some food. I then walk over to my big screen tv and watch some more sports. I have to go to work at the bank in a couple of hours so I go back upstairs and get ready. I get ready and head to my garage to get into my Range Rover Sport. I then leave the house and go to work until the evening. When I get home I cook up some food and turn on the tv and possibly watch a movie. After that I get some work done around the house and go out to see whats going on in the evening on the beach. I then later go home and get some sleep and get ready for the next day.

Ode to cars

Cars you are everywhere to be seen
in many colors like blue yellow and green
you come in all sizes
you get us from point a and point b
however it takes to get us there
You go fast and slow
and cost a lot
but your so enjoyable to use
that everyone loves you.

Embarrassing Moment

I was once at a car wash and there was a long line of cars behind me. I rolled up to the machine and put the code in only to find out that the machine wouldn't take my code. I kept trying it and still no response. I then tried to just buy a car wash at the machine and it wouldn't take my money or my card. I was sitting there trying to find out what to do and I finally gave up. I tried to get out of the area but the lady came up right behind me and I couldn't back out. I moved forward and got out of my car to go inside and talk to the guy. He gave me another code and as I ran back to my car I could see many people who were waiting in the line furious at me. I quickly put the code into the machine again and it worked. I then quickly got into gear and drove into the car wash.

Walking Journal

I make eye contact with it and I get ready to take cover in the rocks fifty feet to the left of me. I keep looking at it and the lion sticks it tounge out at me. I carefully move sideways not to make a big move that will make the lion even more mad than it was. It keeps moving closer and closer and I am almost into the rocks and i see a nice hiding spot that will keep the lion from getting me. In the shelter area that I found I see light at the other end knowing that I could crawl through it and get out at the other end to safety. I made a quick dart into the rocks and the lion chased behind. Only the lion couldn't get into where I was. I quickly turned and made a run for it and got to the exit. I flew out into the end of the street and I was now behind the lion. I saw a car that had its keys in it and I got into it. As soon I turned the car on the lion turned around. I had been spotted again. I quickly shifted it into gear and took off, hearing the loud sound of the tires squealing. I kept driving until I couldn't see the lion again through my rearview mirror.

Thank You Note

I would like to thank my mother for all she does. She is and always has been there for me. She always helps as much as she can when I need help. I really appreciate what she does because a lot of the time it goes unnoticed. She also does whatever is in my best interest and cares about the big decisions I make. I know she has other things to do but she still will take time out of her day to help me. She is a person that I can talk to if need be and I know that if I have a tough time making a decision I can talk to her and get help.

Free Writing 2: Best Place I've Been

The best place I have been is Florida. Going there was a blast because there was so much to do. The weather was really great when we went. Going around to all the attractions and other sites was fun too. I really enjoyed myself and had a fun time being in such a nice area by getting away from the north. Being in Florida at the resort we stayed at was huge. Being at the resort was probably the best time I had being in Florida. There were so many people there and so many activities to do. I remember doing a pick up basketball game with a bunch of people I didn't know from all around the country and having a blast playing with them. It was also great because of the food that was there. There were so many places to eat and with it came a big variety too. It was hard to choose where to eat because all places were usually packed and there was a long wait. There were so many tourists in Florida at that time that getting from point a to point b usually took a couple hours longer that it should have been, but once we got to the place we all usually had a good time. My trip to Florida was probably my favorite because I really had a great time there.

In creative writing this quarter, I want to learn to write more and make my writing better. I want to learn more about the types of writing. I would like to get something out of this class about writing.
