I really didn’t really like blogging this year because I thought it was just point less writing and there was no point in it. I don’t really like writing. It wasn’t really that fun. I was just another way to have work. It just took me a long time. I don’t even like what I’m doing right now. Blogging just wasn’t good.
Plimoth
I really liked our trip to Plimoth Plantation. I liked our colonial dinner because the turkey pottage tasted like brown rice and I had fifths.
In the one of the evening games there are three people, who dress up as an older brother, younger sister or a baby. I was one of the three people and I dressed up as the older brother.
I think that the people who were at there that were in the town that dressed up were very good at keeping in character like they had good accents. And I also thought the Native Americans were very cool.
I also think that the Mayflower II was very cool because it had a map in the master (captain) and you could sail with it.
I think Plimouth is going to be fun. I think it will tell us about how the pilgrims lived here. I also think that we will see what the pilgrims how they got food, what they had, why they needed it and I think will show us what they used for survival. Thats what I think.
Once there was a boy.
He was a young kid named Louis McIngton who loved to play football. Louis was so funny that he made other people explode with laughter.
He played football whenever he had the chance, which unfortunately wasn’t a lot because he had the meanest, strongest and cruelest older stepbrothers named Bubba and Carl B. Shady. While Louis was a nice kid, a happy and kind boy, these stepbrothers were not. Louis, for example, when walking past a stray dog in the street, would run inside his house and would get some food and water for the dog.
As mean as the brothers were, they were still great athletes. Carl B. Shady was an amazing Cornerback, Bubba Shady was an amazing Defensive Lineman and Louis was an unbelievable Quarterback.
When they grew up all three tried out for a football team called the New York Planes. The stepbrothers didn’t want Louis to have a real chance, so when they were walking through the locker room Carl and Bubba pushed poor Louis into a smelly locker and locked him in. They went to the try-outs with Louis banging on the locker.
Later, Luke O’Neil, the wide receiver, and the coach found Louis and asked him what had happened. The coach let Louis try out then and there. Louis was great (of course) so he made the team and the mean stepbrothers did not. (They went to another great team [obviously] named the New England Mega Men.)
Game after game, Louis helped the Planes turn into a great team. He was such a great QB that 500 guys tried to tackle him, but he would still stay up. “The Planes are leading 21 to 14. The Horse Shoes have the ball on the Planes 20…. The (other team’s) QB drops back to pass and it is incomplete and the Planes win game one 21 to 14!”
Back in the locker room the coach congratulated Louis and said, “Good job Louis” and Louis said, “Thanks coach.”
Later the same season: “Well it’s the last play of the game and the Planes have the ball on the 20, but there’s only one second left and they’ve used their last time out,” said the announcer. “McIngton, drops back to pass, he has O’Neil in the end zone… Touchdown!”
Finally, it was the big day. Whichever team won this game would go to the Super Bowl. “So it’s the last play of the game and the Planes are losing by 3 points and they have the ball on the 5. Let’s see if they can get a run off. Hand off to the fullback - no wait! It’s play action. He lobs it to the halfback, Johnson… TOUCHDOWN! This man is a miracle worker!”
And so the Planes were off to the Super Bowl!!
But there was also bad news; the other team was The Mega Men (which the mean stepbrothers played for). Louis was really scared. He always thought he wouldn’t have to play his brothers let alone in the Super bowl! What if he lost? That would prove to everybody that his brothers were better than him. It would make everybody think that they weren’t scared of him so nobody would think they’re ever going to hurt him. But the brothers and Louis knew that if he lost the game the off-season was going to be more painful then the regular-season.
“So this Super Bowl is going to be a brotherly rivalry as The Mega Men take on the New York Planes. Here’s the opening kick-off of the game. It goes to The Planes’ Kick Returner, and he brings it up to the thirty-yard line. Here comes Louis McIngton. Louis makes a short pass.”
Throughout the game Louis kept making little short passes up until
— “It’s half time and here he is, Billy Joel.”—-
Then it was back to the game where the Planes were leading 21 to 7, but then The Planes defense went down hill, and the Mega Men scored 14 points so the score stayed at 21 to 21 until the last play of the game.
“So it’s the last play of the game before overtime and The Planes have the ball on the their own 20 (far away from the end zone). Louis will have to throw a bomb (a long pass). Louis drops back to pass… Luke O’Neil in the end zone…! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!! The first time in history a team has won the Super bowl on the last play of the game!”
And so the Planes won the Super bowl. But what happened to Louis? — What happened to Billy Joel? Never mind. Well, Louis was named Super Bowl MVP (Most Valuable Player), got a huge raise and became one of the best Quarter Backs ever.
Nammath, Montana, and now, McIngton.
Africa is My Home The Story of Sarah Margru Kinson is about a girl who was on the Amistad. Slave traders took her away from her home and the African way of life. There is also a lot of great language so as ‘I dreamed of my mother. Of her soft gentle hands when plaited my hair. Of her soothing words when I was vexed. Of her comforting arms when I was afraid. I dreamed of my mother. I dreamed of home.’
There’s also a lot of history like they killed the white men to take over the ship.
The book taught me a lot and I really enjoyed it.
I remember how hard it was to leave my home
and become a slave.
I remember how dark
and cold it was on the cruel seas.
I remember all the brown faces around me,
all of my people
around me being taken to a new land.
With new people,
who were the strangest people
as white as paper.
With weapons
that we had never seen before,
that made a horrible noise that I could never forget.
I remember, I remember.
This post is from my third grade buddy about New Orleans.
I have an amazing relationship with my New Orleans buddies. They sent us beignets (fried dough) and a king cake which they eat on Mardi Gras and we sent them bagels. I’m sure they loved the bagels and we loved the king cake and I’m sure we will like the beignets. It’s just we haven’t eaten them yet.
We went to the Met and saw the exhibit on New Orleans called “After The Flood.” At our school we made a presentation on our New Orleans buddies. Both buddies, L and W, are amazing writers!!
Our goal is to raise money and awareness to help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
I thought that the play was good. It was funny and happy, but I also thought it was a bit confusing but the acting was good. I thought the play was kind of strange but that made it good. It was also crazy but if it wasn’t I wouldn’t have liked it. The play was very jumpy and it never slowed down.
My complete overall opinion is it was great.
