Football
The first type of American football was College football, it was to entertain college kids around America. It was soon after the civil war that colleges created teams around the campass. Then it started getting around to the other colleges and they started to play eachother in seasons. it used to have only a hat type helmet with no protection what so ever. Now it has evolved into full pads with a padded helmet with a lot of protection, but it still doesn't stop from getting concussions.
The National Football League was created in 1922. At first the Nation Football League was limited only ten teams. Obviously you can tell that rule has been changed over the years. Fifty years of ten teams changed in 1972, they now had 16 teams, still not that much compared to the present days. National Football League was all one big association, until 1973, when they divided it up into 4 leagues, each with four teams in them.
After 1973 they expanded the team limit again, now they had two leagues. National Football League and the American Football league. Now the limit was pushed up to 26 teams, so each league had at least 13 teams.
Now football is almost business between teams getting billions of dollars each year even if they don't play. Now they have full padded helmets, and other equipment. Football is the most liked sport in America. Personally I think it will always be that way because football is amazing.
Some teams are Packers, Chargers, Falcons, and Saints. I love the Packers, and just because Brett Favre was on that team or they're a Wisconsin team. I like them because they have a good hard working team. I mean the Patriots you are ranked tied at first beat the Packers by only four, and the Packers had a back up Quarterback in! I like other teams too, like the Saints, and not just because they won the super bowl against the Colts. I like Drew Brees, Colston, and Reggie Bush.
Football has been going on for a long time, first was college, second was NFL, and third was school football. Weird right? I thought School Football would be the first but I guess not. I really like football, especially going to the football game. Just sitting in the crowd and hearing the crowd roaring with excitment. Football is the greatest sport in history of man kind to me at least.

Good wish gone bad
The next day, when he woke up and went to the circus, the elephants were finding gold everywhere. The circus man was so surprised and happy. He knew he would be absolutely rich for the rest of his life. Although he thought it would only be one day of pure gold, but the next day they were still digging for gold.
The circus man brought them all into town, and told everyone how they could find gold. Nobody believed him, but then he told them to find gold. The towns people turned around and dropped their jaws. They couldn't believe it, they thought the man had actually trained his elephants to find gold!
A couple of weeks later he was the wealthiest man in the world. He didn't live on the streets anymore, he lived in a mansion located in Italy! His elephants stayed in their own mansion! People would go to his house for two reasons. Either to get money, or to tour his mansion. He loved the style he was living these days. But when he returned to his hometown he knew something went wrong.
There were people that were rich on the street eating cardboard. It turns out when he wished for his elephants to find gold, there was no longer anymore gold left. He felt bad once again. He wished for his elephants to talk, and sure enough it came true. He asked the elephants if their was anymore gold in the world. They said there was only one place that they had never been, the deserts in Asia, those deserts were told to be gold mines!
The circus man wished for them to appear in the deserts of Asia. They searched and searched every day and every night. They only found one piece of gold and it was month four already. They were all getting so hot, so the circus man wished for a life supply of water. But nothing happened. The circus man had bought a lamp before he became rich. It turns out there was a genie inside, but he never revealed himself, because genies like to be sneaky, for three wishes means that he will be unlocked from the lamp and move on in life.
The circus man had already used up three wishes, so he had no more to go. There was only one choice, it was to keep walking until the deserts ended. But they never did end, but on the way he found a big box. So he put it on his elephant so he could lay on the elephant while it walks. Well one day the elephant started to slow down, it had died, so the man kept walking and walking, but then he couldn't go any longer. So he layed on the ground, and waited for his death to come.
Later on a man in the desert found his body and brought it back to his hometown. They found his will in his Italian house. His will was to give all of his money to his hometown. The towns people were so happy that they now celebrate his remembrance with a huge block party, on the day the found his will. His will is actually in the town hall.

It was the night before Christmas eve
Freddy was not really an elf, he was a human sized ginger bread man. It was hard for him to work there knowing he was different. Well Santa sent him of on a cookie down candy lane. Freddy fell asleep half way there. When he woke up, he was in the woods. He started to walk, then he noticed a big huge city out in the distance. He ran as fast as he could. When he got out he didn't stop running and ran into the street. He got hit by a car on the way to the other side of the street. Thank gosh, he was fine though, he got back up and ran faster to get to the sidewalk. He saw the Empire State Building and knew he would love it. When he got to the elevator he pressed a button. It made a ding noise so he pressed the top button.
There was a button that made you go faster. He loved the noise so he pressed it 22 times. He got so fast when he got to the top, he didn't stop the elevator broke through the ceiling, he was now flying over the Empire State Building, in an elevator. He didn't know what to do, but he had a little magic left in him, so he used it to make him self go slow motion. When the elevator was about to hit the ground he jumped out of it, and landed on his feet. When the slow motion stopped, everyone asked if he was okay. He was fine but one of his gum drop buttons fell off and he couldn't find it. It turns out a little kid was sitting on a bench eating it. Freddy was very sad but the kid was very happy so he was fine with it.
Freddy found one of the biggest stores in New York. It was decorated like it was a ginger bread house. He thought his parents, that he had never met where there. So he walked into the store. When he got into the store he saw, a bunch of little kids eating ginger bread men and houses. Some were eating houses, dogs, men, their wives, or even kids. He got so mad but then he saw how happy they all were. He calmed down and tried one of the cookies. He thought they were pretty good. Freddy noticed that there was a job that they wanted. He went to the manager and asked if he could have the job. The manager told him he had to make a ginger bread cookie first. When he was done making the cookie, the manager ate. He thought it was magnificent! He said Freddy could have the job, his salary would be 200,000 dollars a week if he brings in more customers.
Over a month he had 1,000,000 dollars worth of salary and tips. He had a ginger bread mansion, and he was the most wealthy man in the world. One day on Christmas eve, people came in all day, they were selling hot chocolate along with cookies to make the customers warm. When it was the end of the day, Freddy had 200,000,000 dollars worth of tips! When he got home, his house was on fire, all of it had burned down. He called the police, and said that some freaky terrorist burnt down his house, or something. When he got off the phone someone put a pillow case over his head. He yelled as loud as he could, but nobody heard him. When they took the case off of his head, he was in the shop. There were three men and one woman all with paper bags over their heads. Instead of freaking out he simply said "Wow, you guys must be really ugly if you have those paper bags over your heads."
They got mad, so the littlest one took one of his gum drop button of and ate it. He was getting mad, but the family found out his weakness, family. So the kid looked like he was happy, so Freddy couldn't help to be happy too. When the kid was done eating the gum drop, Freddy asked him why he did that? They all just pulled off their paper bags. They were employees before he started to work there. The manager fired them because business was so high. Freddy said he was sorry. But it was too late for apologies. The family told him if he doesn't quit his job tomorrow they would kill his dog.
The next day at work, he was going to quit, but he saw all of the families. They were all happy so he couldn't quit. On his break he went to his house and got his dog. When he got back to work, he noticed that it was on fire. There was a note on the sidewalk saying that he should of quit. Not your dog but your whole work, all of the customers, little kids, and workers. Now you know how it feels to be fired just because someone comes in and ruins it all!
Freddy called the police and told them about the shop. When they got there the car blew up. Freddy knew who did this, so he went back to his house. In the back yard there is a cellar with guns big and small. He went to the cellar, and got the biggest gun he could find. It was actually a tank the size of his house. He searched the town night and day for a whole week, but they were nowhere to be found.
Finally one day he saw them running north to the empire state building. He road his tank half way there and walked the rest of the way, just so they don't hear the roar of the tank. When he got there they were just getting into the building. He yelled for them to stop. They did, then they turned and their eyes turned red. The sky turned dark red. A huge mouth, came down a grabbed him, and brought him up to the sky. He screamed with horror. The mouth took a huge bite out of him.
When his crumbs hit the ground, he woke up. Yes, it was all just a dream. Well, today is now Christmas eve, so Freddy is terrified, because he thinks Santa might send him there again! When he got into the toy work shop, they stared at him in a weird way. Santa told him he looked different today. He went to go look into a mirror. When he looked he saw that there was a huge bite that was taken out of him.
He didn't know what to do, he thought the dream was real. So he ran back to his cold cabin and found a dog in the corner, with a huge piece of ginger bread in his mouth. He was done being happy just because other people were happy. In fact he was so mad, he punted the dog across the cabin. When he hit the wall it disappeared, he was in shock of what just happened. The broken piece of ginger bread re-appeared . The room started to turn a very dark black. Everything disappeared, then the room turned into a waterfall.
He slowly started to walk into the waterfall, on the other side there was a long cave. A deep voice told him to follow the cave to happiness. So he did, when he got to the end it was very bright and sunny. There was a castle in the distance. He ran, day and night. When he finally arrived, he knocked loudly on the door. Two people opened the door, and said they were expecting him to come. He felt weird now that he knew that, but he still walked into the huge golden gate. There was a huge hall that lead to a big chair. When he first got there, nobody was sitting in it. Then a man with a crown appeared in the chair out of nowhere. Freddy asked who he is and where he came from? He said he was the King of Gingeria. Freddy asked what Gingeria was? The king said it was heaven.
So it was true Freddy had been eaten that one day, that he thought was dream. The king told Freddy that he could stay in one of the biggest rooms here, since he died the most painful and slow death. Freddy barely remembered half of what happened that day, so he accepted the offer. Freddy told the king what happened in his real life. Apparently the king had been watching him the whole time. Freddy got upset, because the king did nothing to save him the day he had died. So he went up to his room.
When he got to his room, his dog was laying on the bed. Freddy was excited to see him again. They went outside where there was a lake, and clouds that were very bouncy. They bounced for hours, it turns out that if Freddy or the dog were to think of their favorite food it would start raining that exact food. They were so happy, living in heaven where anything that was impossible on Earth would happen.
There was one thing the king didn't tell Freddy that day. He would have to re-live his death over and over again every year. In fact every night Freddy would hear screams from all of the people living there. It terrified him, and yet he still didn't know what was happening. One day when he woke up, it was his time to re-live it. He roared for help, but nobody could hear the scream through the huge room. Once he was done re-living it, he appeared back in his room calmly.
He ran to the king, but he was not there, because it was his time to re-live the experience. Freddy went back to his room and thought of paper, it started to rain paper. He thought of ideas all day of how to kill the re-living, or the Reaper. He went for hours, using up all of his paper, then thinking of some more.
By next year he would be ready for the battle of his life. He practiced with his dog every day. He thought of weapons that he may need to use in the battle. Freddy knew what was coming, but he didn't know when it would come. So he got the people in heaven to practice and be ready for the fight.
Today was the day. Freddy woke up and right then and there, he knew that it was time. He grabbed his weapons, and saw the mouth coming down. But in the background he saw the Reaper controlling the mouth. Freddy ran as fast as he could to the reaper and stabbed him with his samurai sword over and over again. Nothing happened to the Reaper. Freddy realized that he couldn't defeat the Reaper, but he could defeat himself. He stood in front of the mouth, but every time it got close Freddy would run towards the Reaper just a little bit more every time.
Finally Freddy reached the Reaper. Freddy just stood there until the mouth got to his face. The mouth took a huge bite out of Freddy, but it swallowed the Reaper, whole. Freddy knew his job was done but now he was aching with pain. The king returned him to heaven. Although this was not a good thing, the king was furious with Freddy for killing the Reaper. Freddy asked why he was so mad? The king said that the Reaper had made a deal to create a heaven for the dead ones, but only if they re-live their deaths every year.
Freddy was surprised, then the clouds disappeared and Freddy was back on Earth. Everything was back to normal. The shop was open and filled with kids, the town was fine and filled with joy, because Christmas was right around the corner. Freddy's job in New York was finally over. He returned to the North Pole where Santa and the elves were waiting to congratulate him for his great work.
Freddy didn't want to stay in the North Pole, he thought his life would be better if he went back to America. But this time he didn't want to go to New York. He wanted to live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Santa was surprised with Freddy's decision. Freddy felt different since he was not an elf. He thought he would feel right, in the frozen tundra, badger state.
Santa approved of Freddy leaving the North Pole, to live a happy life in Wisconsin. When Freddy left, there was one more thing he wanted to do. He made a toy for a kid that maybe he would find that was nice enough to get the toy.
When Freddy got to Wisconsin, he was in Milwaukee. He saw what it was like there, and he loved it, but he wanted a nice place to live. So he went to Pewaukee, that's where he was soon to meet his new best friend, Xavier Straub. When the two of them met, they talked about what it was like in the North Pole. Freddy began to talk about, and out of nowhere Brett comes out and takes the biggest bite he can out of Freddy. Freddy was pretty mad at first but he got over it.
The bus was coming to pick us up, so we got into a straight line. When we got onto the bus Sara, Natalie, Kati, Mitchell, Gabe, and Mrs. Colque were all staring at Freddy. Freddy, has had this happen before so he just said Hello to all of them. They all asked here he came from. Xavier said that Santa sent him to New York because people didn't believe in Christmas anymore. But then he was killed and brought to heaven, then Santa brought him back with his magic, but the Freddy wanted to come here so Santa sent him here. Everyone laughed as if they didn't believe him.
But once Freddy told the story everyone finally believed that it was true. Freddy fell asleep on the way to school. When they all got there Freddy got out of the bus and almost fell off the ledge. Yes, school was in the sky for Xavier. The school they went to was Academy 21. Freddy was so scared, because he had never seen such a thing, even when he was riding the sleigh with Santa. Although he thought it was pretty cool. T Everyone's first hour class was Academy 21, they had ALEKS, Blogger, then an advisory meeting. When the bell rang for second hour, Freddy asked where we would go next. Xavier was already out of the class room. Freddy was a bit faster than Xavier, so he caught up to him, but he still couldn't stop him.
Xavier ran as fast as he could to the ledge of the school and jumped, in fact everyone jumped. Freddy was screaming, because he had never seen such a thing. Xavier yelled for him to jump, and that they would catch him if he doesn't stick the landing, so Freddy jumped. When he thought he had hit the ground, he had just hit a water bed in the middle of the school. There was a hole in the roof, of the school that would let people just jump down and be caught by a water bed. After Freddy got off of the water bed, he started to talk about how he wanted to do that again. Everyone said that when the bell rang again they could start jumping on the bed and it would bounce you back up to Academy 21. Xavier's second hour class was Multimedia, so Freddy went with him.
When they got there, Kevin was saving them a seat. Xavier introduced Freddy to Kevin, right away. Today in Multimedia, everyone had to create a commercial on a brand of whatever you want. Xavier picked Nike shoes, Kevin picked Adidas shoes, and Freddy picked skate board shoes. The whole time they weren't really working on the commercial, they were introducing Freddy to the world of 2010 music. He thought that the music was amazing, he thought it was better than Christmas music! When the bell rang, Xavier and Freddy got on to the bed and started to jump, higher and higher they went, and soon they were at the Academy 21 school.
In Academy 21, they had an advisory meeting on Blogger. After they were done with the meeting they went back to Academy 21 and played games until fourth hour. In Fourth hour they had Rising Stars, something to help you with leadership and attitude. That basically took up the whole hour, so when they got back, they did some ALEKS. They only got about four topics done because after every topic they would go on a game site.
When the bell rang Freddy and Xavier ran off the edge for Lunch. Today's lunch was Subway. Xavier's favorite. Freddy never had Subway, not in the North Pole. When he took his first bite, it looked like he drooled a little he thought it was so tasty. After he finished he let out the loudest burp I've ever heard. They all laughed, but then the teacher caught them in the act. She gave them all detention, but they didn't care that was hilarious.
After Lunch was finally over Xavier and Freddy had P.E.. At first they just were walking but then Carson tripped Xavier, it wasn't cool. Xavier didn't care he just got up and kept walking. When they met up with Brandon and Austin, they had to run. When the running session stopped it was time for badminton tournament. Xavier and Madeline were already on a team so Freddy had to be with Joe. Xavier's first match was against Freddy's team. It was a hard game for the two teams but Xavier came out with the win.
When gym was over Academy 21 was having a Seminar on Social Studies. It lasted the whole resource. When it was over Xavier and Freddy went down to the detention room with the friends. It was finally the end of the day, time to go home. Freddy wanted to do one more thing before they went home. He wanted to go to the lake and go ice skating. Well Xavier wanted to go too, so they went. When they were done they went home.

Sectional Differences
Sectional Differences was between the North and the South. It started when the Civil War was beginning, in 1861. What was it like, having slavery or being a slave? I don't know obviously, but I'm sure it sucks.
There aren't that many differences when it comes down to the two. Surprising, I know. Abraham Lincoln was president at the time so slavery was no longer, allowed. Although in the South it was allowed everywhere. The North had more factories and manufacturing. The South had more farms and farming. The North had 22 full sates, while then South only had 11!
The fugitive slave law, passed in 1850, said that if slaves ran away to the North or Canada, that they should be returned to their rightful owners. The fugitive slave law was important, because the Southerners paid for the slaves, and they didn't think it was fair for them to lose their money when their slaves escaped. They also thought that slaves should be punished, because they broke the laws.
The Southerners said that slaves had to be returned, because the slaves were their property. Like other property, slaves could not be taken away from their owners. Using the Underground railroad as an escape route was against the law. It was also no longer safe for slaves to escape to the northern states, because the fugitive slave law required them to be returned to their rightful owners.
Some Northerners didn't want to give the slaves back, because they believed in individual rights. They wanted to free the slaves, but the fugitive slave law gave them no other choice. It was the law and they had to obey it.
The fugitive slave law was important in leading to the Civil War, because it caused many arguments between Northerners and Southerners. The North was angry, because the slaves could come into the free states, and still be slaves. So the free states weren't really free states anymore.
The North didn't want new states to allow slavery, but on the other hand, the South did. The North didn't want the new states to have slavery, because they wanted to be stronger. Having more slave states would make the South stronger, because slave states would have more votes in the House of Representatives. This was important to in causing the Civil War, because whenever a new state joined the United States, there would be a big argument whether that state would be a slave state or a free state.
Many things such as the fugitive slave law, arguments about whether new states should be slave states, and the differences between the North and South were all cause of the Civil war. After a lot of arguing, the South didn't want to argue with the North anymore, because they wanted to become their own nation, no matter what the North said. Then, the South decided to break away from the union.
Slavery wasn't allowed in the North, because they believed in individual rights. The South believed that it was fine to have slavery, and if that slaves were to escape and not returned to the rightful owner that the free state the slave went to would become a slave state. I thought these facts were very sad, because of the punishment they did to the slaves, and just keeping slaves and having slavery in general.

The Demonata: Lord Loss
It was one night when Grubsitch "Grubbs" Grady got dropped of at his aunts house down the block. He didn't know why they brought him there, but as soon as they left the drive way he started to run back home. When he got there, his dad's chess boards were either broken, shattered, or laying all across the floor. He approached his parents room, the door was hot. Grubbs heard rips, snaps, and cracks, then one very deep evil laugh. He shot the door open as fast as he could. There were web strands all across every wall in the room. There was something dripping from the ceiling. His dad's head fell down. Without any thought, Grubbs screamed with shock. His mom was on the other side of the room. A crocodile head, with the human body, was ripping her apart. Then in the back of the room Grubbs could see my sister, Grubbs yelled at his sister to run to the door so they could escape. Then he realized, a huge dog was handling her like she was his chew toy, or bone.
From this passage me and Grubbs have nothing in common obviously. Throughout the book I can see that we are getting a lot more in common. He likes to hang out with his uncle a lot, I mean I don't think my uncle is a werewolf or anything but I love to hang out with him. Grubbs finds out that his friend Bill.E is his long lost brother, him and Bill.E love to go adventuring in the woods right in the back of the house, my brother and I usually go to the park and go to the woods and just walk through and see what amazing things we can find.
We also aren't very alike more than alike. Grubbs and his uncle go to the Demon world, play chess, and fight of three demons. Grubss brother Bill.E ans sister both turn into werewolves. After Grubbs experience with the Demons and parents, he had to go to a mental hospital. I've never even seen a mental hospital! When he fights the demons after his parents are dead, he finds out he has magic. I don't even know if magic is real in the real life?
I liked that in the book Grubbs uncle takes him out of the hospital, trains him for the fight of his life, and takes him in with care and protection. I like that his uncle brings him to his house, instead of just letting him go back, his uncles house is in a peaceful quiet town. I also like how they fight for Bill.E, Grubbs brother and Grubbs doesn't even know that he's his brother yet. I like how after the game of chess the uncle had to fight the demon. His body stayed with Grubbs in the real world, but not his soul. Grubbs didn't know how long he would be gone, or maybe he wouldn't even come back? Then one day Grubbs found blood on his face hair on his face and fingers, and dirt in his nails. He ran down stairs and headed for the phone for help. Then his uncle yelled at him to stop. He won! He beat the demon and came back!
I don't like how in the beginning when he sees his parents, they define it so much. I mean what I said his not what the book said, it was a lot worse. I just put it into better terms. I didn't really like the fact that they had to play the demon in five games a chess to save Bill.E from the werewolf curse. I mean chess, I mean come on really? I thought they were going to have to actually fight him. Well after the game of chess his uncle has to fight the demon. So the boy has to live by himself for who knows how long, his uncle may have never return.
Overall I thought it was a great book, as you can see. Although some I had nothing in common with and some I very well did. There were things I liked, and things that didn't really catch my attention or that really wasn't that good.

Santa Claus? Or Sinterklaas?
Well Santa Clause turns out to be a real person. You think I'm talking about the North pole Santa, I know. Although Santa was born in Turkey. As you all know his real name is not Santa Clause, it is Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was a generous man, that was devoted to children. After he died in 340 A.D. he was buried in Myra. A couple of years later, Italian soldiers stole the remains that were left of him, making Saint Nicholas even more popular through Europe. Many people said that Saint Nicholas could perform miracles and devotion.
Churches in Europe honored him by having a big feast for the town, December sixth every year. Yes, that is why Saint Nicholas comes and fills our stockings with goods. Although that is on the fifth, but I really don't know why. After awhile Saint Nicholas's followers left and forgot him. His legend was yet still kept alive in Holland where the Dutch spelling of his name was Sint Nikolaas, it was eventually transformed into Sinterklaas. Just like us but a little different, Dutch children would put their wood shoes by the fire, and Saint Nicholas would fill them with goods of all sorts. Dutch colonists brought over the name to America, and there for it became Santa Clause.
Santa Clause has many different names from our country and others. United States: Santa Clause Brazil: Papai Noel China: Shengdan Laoren Chile: Viejo Pascuero Dutch: Sinterklaas England: Father Christmas Italy: Babbo Natale Russia: Ded Moroz. There is many more from all around the world!
There are some places or families that don't even have Christmas. Maybe they have Honnukah, or Quanza, but some don't have anything. I just wonder what it's like having a rule that you can't have Christmas or something close to that.
Kids have believed in Santa, coming through your chimney and eats your cookies and drinks your milk. Now to me that's mean for people who like cookies, and why would he take someones cookies?! Look all I'm trying to say is, who would do such a thing to little kids, that love you, because you give them presents once every year?
Well overall Santa is a pretty nice elderly magical man. I can't believe he goes around the world in one night! Just kidding. Since the time is different, like Japan in almost a day ahead of us, so I guess he has tow days to go around the world.

The terror of th Chupapa
It was around Thanksgiving. Tina and Phil loved Xavier and Brittany the most so they would send them two out to get all the supplies they needed for food. When Xavier and Brittany went out to get the food they would always go to the park first. Now this place was dangerous, the whole park was filled with the after life's. So they had to be very careful while they played. Xavier was running as fast as he could when he tripped over a huge wood chip. When he fell, he started to look under the slide. There was a shadow. He started to walk closer to it when he heard his sister scream for help. So he looked everywhere for her, he couldn't find her so he called his older brother Mitchell. Mitchell has a car so he got there pretty fast.
When he got there I told him what happened. I thought he would asked where I heard the scream from, but I guess I was wrong. He slapped me then called me dumb. "Well that wasn't very nice, now was it". I asked him sarcastically so he slapped me again. After that he actually did ask me where I heard the scream from. "I heard it from over by the pond." "Why was she over there, she know we don't let her go over there!". He replied back. " Well let's just go look for her, instead of just standing here." So of we went to go look for the missing sister. When we got over to the pond there she was sitting there with flowers everywhere. We asked her what she screamed for. " Cause the flowers were tickling me." "Well you know you're not suppose to be over here." we both replied. "You had me scared!". I said loudly. "Well I'm sorry, Mitchell you can go home we were about to go get the food anyways." she demanded.
Mitchell left and we started to walk to the abandon store. It was a couple miles away from the park so it took awhile to get there. When they got there they saw little things moving in the store. "What do you think they are?" Brittany asked. "To tell you the truth sis I don't know." I replied. We didn't mind so we just walked in to the store anyways. We were looking for regular food are family hated organic food and what not. "Wait, what was that?". Brittany asked. " What are you talking about I didn't hear anything." I said. There was a big "BOOM!". We both turned and looked. We were on different sides of the room so we ran to each other as fast as we could. "Now did you hear it?!" She yelled. "Yeah I heard that one obviously." I said. We walked around the whole store looking for whatever just made that sound. When we were about to just leave four small little puff balls jumped out of the freezer. We both looked at them with a confused look on our face. What are they?" I asked. "I don't know" she said. They each were different colors, and once in awhile they would bounce up and down. Then they all stopped and they had big smiles on their faces. One of them had red white and green on him, the second one was a ninja, the third one was a football player, and the fourth one was just blue and half way asleep.
We started to run out of the store but they just bounced over us and stood there. We turned around like we were going to run, so they jumped over us, we turned around quickly and ran out the door. "We made it!" Brittany said. I was about to say something when out of nowhere the puff balls jumped out of the store and started chasing us. I got my phone out and called the family house phone. Kevin and Sara picked up at the same time so they started fighting for the phone. I heard them so I yelled "Help us!". Kevin got the phone. "Help you with what?" He asked. "We are being chased by bouncing puff balls by the park!" I yelled. "Wait, so you're telling me I should believe a guy saying there is puff balls bouncing after him?" He asked. I gave Brittany the phone. "Kevin, we are honestly being attacked by bouncing puff balls!" she yelled. "Fine since both of you are telling me I'll believe you." he replied. Then he hung up the phone. Brittany told me what happened. "He didn't even believe you? Wow that's crazy." I said. "Yeah I know right." she said back. "Well let's just keep running and if they start to slow down we will hide somewhere." I said "Okay I guess I mean if we hide they might get a break then come find us." She remarked "Good point." I said. After a while of running we couldn't see them behind us so we stopped at the park. This time I kept my eye on Brittany the whole time without letting her out of sight.
We sat there for awhile because we were out of breathe, but then we finally decided to start walking back home. While we were walking back, we caught a glimpse of the puff balls bouncing after us again. So we started to run as fast as we could. Once again I tripped over a huge wood chip. I cut my leg open a little bit, but I was bleeding pretty bad. I told Brittany just to leave, but she wouldn't listen. She grabbed my phone and called Mitchell. He picked up the phone and said, "What happened this time?". "Well let's just say we are being chased by bouncing puff balls and Xavier just tripped over a huge wood chip and cut his leg open." she said. "Oh great, well I'll be there in a jiffy." he replied. "Wait! Out of all things to say you said in a jiffy?" she asked. "Okay does this really matter, how much blood is there?" He said. " A LOT! So hurry up!" she yelled. He got there fast once again. He told us that we should calm down, and that he doesn't believe. Then a bunch of the puff balls bounced and tackled him. After that he was bleeding too so It was only Brittany, she started to cry because she didn't know what to do. She called Sara and Kevin again, Sara picked up the phone and she was crying too. "What happened?" Brittany asked. "It's Kevin mom and dad, they're all dead." she replied. "Quick run over to the park as fast as you can okay?" Brittany said. Sara hung up and started running. When she got there Brittany was crying and talking to me and Mitchell saying it's going to be okay. "Did they get attacked too?" she said. "Yeah, they came out of nowhere." Brittany replied. Then about 1000 puff balls bounced out of the tree. Sara and Brittany didn't know what to do so they grabbed me and Mitchell over to the park slides. They were getting closer to the slides, then the puff balls bounced right in front of them. They started to scream and cry. Then a bright light came from mine and Mitchell's hearts. "What is going on?" Brittany asked. Mitchell got up duck taped his leg and turned the 21st century Terminator. "Wow, he looks hot!" Sara says. Then he grabbed a sword and a gun from his man purse. "Hey, narrator guy it's a sachel!" Mitchell yelled. Then I stood up with a big grin on my face. "Wow, he's really ugly." Brittany says. "Hey, you know that wasn't very nice!" I reply "Well it's true." She says. Me and Mitchell get our swords and guns and were all like "You're going down puff balls!" We both said "Wow, they really are cool!" The girls say. "Told you so." Sara says. Mitchell and I start going left to right blowing up the puff balls.
They finally finished blowing up the puff balls. "Wow, what should we call this day?" The girls ask. "We shall call it "The Terror Of The Chupapa's." Me and Mitchell replied. "So Sara I heard what you said about me." Mitchell said "And Brittany I heard and replied about what you said to me, you meanie!" I said "Well it's true!" she replies.

My Project
It was on music in different countries and how it has evolved over the passing years. I chose three countries America, Ireland, and Australia. I learned some very interesting facts about the music in these countries. In Australia the number one hit is Gold Digger By: Kanye West and they usually sing about there feelings towards the environment. In Ireland a lot of the instruments they use are very similar to ours. Like the bango, the bag pipes, or the bouzuki (a guitar in the shape of a pare and has a flat back. They started to sing about good times or important events when the British invaded Ireland. This has nothing to do but I found a very interesting fact about Michael Jackson, his first marriage was to Elvis Presley's only child! Anyways the record for instruments played in a song by one person, in the song " For you", Prince himself played 27 different instruments!!!
I also learned that American music is usually sang with one solo singer and an amount of back up singers. They usually just sing about whatever comes to mind, they don't sing about one thing in particular every time. Some of the instruments you know like the guitar, saxophone, or the drums. There is more than just the basics that you have heard and think are really cool. You probably know the keyboard, but do you know what you can do with it? In most songs the keyboard is the back up singer like in the song "Baller" also performed By: Kanye West. Yeah it's pretty weird I mean I didn't know that you could make a keyboard sing until I heard that song. You can even make a drum sound like it's singing b putting it in to your own pitch, there is a high medium and low pitch for every drum you just got to find the right place to hit the drum.
Well I talked to you about instruments, what they sing about, why they sing about it, and more interesting facts. This project was really fun as you can see.

Me and my Mooze
It was around Christmas, everyone with their family at the dinner table feasting on delicious food. Well I don't have a family, it's only me and my stuffed moose living on the streets. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Zepler Z. Zeckle and this is my stuffed moose, I call him, Mooze. Me and him have been living on the streets for over the past 13 years. Awhile ago in the country of Italy, my family and I were going on a trip America. While the flight was half way there engine 1 exploded. We all gasped with fear. " Oh great there goes engine 2." I said. We crashed on an island right of the coast of California. They sent our family out to get help. We denied what they were forcing us to do. So they threw my family out to the sharks. Right before they had done that my parents had found a raft and told me to paddle back to California for help. So I did what In had to. After I had heard about my parents, I didn't want to help them anymore. So now comes the present days. I've been looking for any job, hopefully I'll get one say that me and Mooze can stay at a warm comfy apartment of some sort. So far there hasn't been any luck. Overall it has been hot and humid, doesn't really snow here. We've had a couple earth quakes, and hurricanes. Mooze and I are trying to get enough money to at least get to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I've heard bad and good stories about Wisconsin. Although there is a lot more good ones. One of my friends family is suppose to live there. His name is Xavier E. Straub. His grandma was very close friends with mine so maybe she'll remember me.

My poem of random things that I like or have talked about in the past. MEMORIES!
I like cookies
They call me the savior
Oh and I also love nookies
Yes, it's something a baby chews and sucks
Out of all the animals my least favorite are ducks
My favorite type of cookie is chocolate chip
At some restraunts I forget to leave a tip
Brobee is my best friend
Natalie thinks he is hers
I guess that's just the new trend
Well let me tell you this is 2010
So if people take my best friends
I will beat them with a rubber hen
There is this one dude
He likes greasy food
His name is Gir
Plus he wears fake fur
He's on this one show
It's called Invader Zim
There is also this evil dude
His name is Dim
I like to eat waffles
and french toast too
The sound of that bird is
CACKOO
This poem may seem weird
It might bring you tears
But your lucky that man doesn't have a beard
I'm love the sun
like my brother
then after that
It's like it the other
I don't know how to rhyme
This poem is really wasting my time
But as I keep going
I think to myself.......
THE WORLD WILL BE MINE! :)
In my classes
I sit by my friends
One time my dad said "You have to get glasses"
It's not that bad
I've tried them on
Though when ever I see glasses I will think of my dad
I know, that's a horrible thought
That's why instead, I think of tator tots
Tator tots are yummy in my tummy
Cookie Monster came to my house
He was just a balloon
No better than a mouse
But then after that
I got to meet the cat in the hat
He's lactose and tolerant
Hey, that's just like me
He forgets to take his pill
Thank gosh I do
I don't want to get ill
I have best friends
Short friends
Tall friends
Best friend: Brittany Adkins
Short friend: Bradley Chavez
Tall friend: Sean Beecher
Most of them are just the same
A lot of them don't play my game
I like to confuse
more than amuse
It just makes me laugh
when they ask
What was that
I play football for the pirates
We have lost every game
except for one
But that doesn't matter
As long as we all have fun
I am Italian, German, Irish, Dutch, American, and some other thing
If you want your answers go to bing
I think I might be done.....
No, I think I'll keep going with this wonderful poem
I like the Packers
Although I don't like hackers
For halloween
I'm going to be green
Without a doubt
I'll have a huge snout
Can you guess what I am?
Sam I am
No that's a book
Okay how about Captain Hook
That's a movie
I bet it's groovy
It's not the 80's
Does it have rabies?
Should I just tell you
No, Is it a kangaroo?
I'll give you a hint
Give it a tint
It has long arms
Is it the guy you goes to all the farms?
No, it also has a big orange smile
Let me just think for awhile
While you're think let's have some fun
Wait, Wait I'm done
Okay let's go back to the lobby
Does it rhyme with Bobby?
This is my favorite hobby
Oh I got it. It's Brobee!
