It is dark in my holding cell. Finally after all this time. He is here.

My owner in his shining armor. I am ready to fight. He takes me to the Battlefield.

The armies are ready, I watch the enemy charge. Bang I am thrust into an enemy soldier. Bang it happen again and again and again.

Oh no, my owner is struck in the back. He is dead.

After 3 or 4 hours the battle is won my former owners army is victorious.

Someone else picks me up. And the cycle starts over again and again.

My owners die but I live on forever.

Inspired by
Harris Burdick

One day in Dalton Massachusetts the strangest event occurred. There was a man named Brian Westbrook. He was in the military. he was off duty that month. That’s when they came. It was at night, he heard a buzzing sound, then a CRASH! He jumped out of bed and got his gun. He walked to the door with his gun loaded. He heard the bells on his porch ring. He turned over a card table and hid behind it. His hart was beting.rrrrrr. He’d swear he saw the doorknob turn. They busted in, the door shattered, Aliens they fired. They fired everywhere. He returned fire. He killed two before they notest him. He ran up stairs to his room, hiding behind his bed. Before the Alien busted in the room he got a grenade. When they came in he throw the grenade. There was a huge explosion. Brian murmured “ that’s gona wake the neighbors”

Food from the plains

Introduction

This piece of work is about the wonders of what the plains people of 600 years ago ate. If you think this is going to be boring just give it a try. This is going to be great. I do not have much more to say, so let get rolling

Hunting Buffalo

The plains Indians ate many kinds of food but their main source of food was buffalo. When they hunted buffalo a medicine man would herd the buffalo to a cliff. He could do that because he was wearing a buffalo hide. It helped him because he would look like a buffalo. Men behind rocks would jump out from hiding and wave buffalo hide at the buffalo. The buffalo would get scared and run of the cliff. If the buffalo did not die there were men on the bottom with bows and arrows. That is how the plains Indians hunted buffalo.

SP Recommends Diary of a Wimpy Kid

wimpy-kid.JPGDiary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

I recommend this book because it is a funny book. Sometimes when Greg, the main character, does something bad and the bullies come, he says “He did it!” and points to someone else and the bullies beat the other person up.

Greg’s best friend Rowley is funny too. When Rowley got a motorcycle for Christmas, Rowley gives Greg a Big Wheel. Greg thinks that he didn’t get any good presents for Christmas and says sarcastically, “Thanks!”

I think it is a good book for kids in our grade because it is about a kid who tries to be popular and all the problems he has because everyone in his family acts like he is a baby.

If I had to rate this book on a scale of 1-10, I would give it an 8. For me, that is a good rating.
