Here is my latest story.

The Guns of WWII

                “WWII required a massive outpour of manufacturing capabilities” (according to _____) to supply the weaponry and vehicles used during that time. This wasn’t a time for regular weapons, this was a time for war ending master pieces and that is what came. Many weapons, many countries. The three most notable three were the Browning M1918 (BAR), The M1 Garand, and the M1 Thompson (Tommy Gun).

The Browning M1918

            The Browning M1918 was made by John .M. Browning. This was a family of weapons used over seas and by many other countries. It was a fully auto machine gun that replaced many other variants in the war. It has a cylindrical flash suppressor fixed to the end of the barrel, a fixed wooden butt stock and closed-type iron sights, consisting of a forward post and rear leaf sight, adjustable to between 100 and 1,500 yards. It was air cooled and was a 30-06caliber. It got the name “walking fire,” but then was replaced when it was changed to light machinegun and when machineguns with bipods took its place.

The M1 Garand

                The M1 Garand was designed by John .C. Garand In 1901 when America started making semi auto rifles. The M1 saw action across seas for many years. It was bolt action, 30 caliber, and gas cooled. The barrel’s design was changed twice. It saw action in not one, not two, but three major American conflicts including WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It was a sleek, beautiful, and extremely deadly.

The M1 Thompson.

                Formally known as the Tommy gun the Thompson was a fully auto machinegun. It was air cooled. This gun was to be first tested in the First World War but never made it overseas. This gun had a circular magazine that held at least twenty rounds. Since it didn’t make it over seas it was adopted by gangsters and was used for the wrong thing and lead to crime in almost every major city.

                Well that is what I know. There is more reliable information on the web. So don’t stop looking till you find a good website. So hope you liked it.

Here is my latest pesuasive paragraph.

Boy Scouts of America (BSA)

                The BSA is a great organization if you want to learn about the outdoors and meet new friends. They never give up. They are free to join in and they will help you when you need help. You will never be left out, you will always have something to do even if there is nothing else to do, and you help your community through community service. There are many thing I could say about the BSA but not in one paragraph so ill do it in three.

            The BSA will camp outside rain, snow, or shine once a month. They pick great places to camp and sometimes you can fish or swim. They even hold special campouts that include fun events that other troops can join in and compete for a prize. There is even a ten day campout were you meet other troops from around the states. So just to sum this up you camp a lot and you meet old and new friends almost all the time.

            There are many things called merit badges that you can earn to show what you can do. They show you know what you are doing. Merit badges also earn you privileges when you get older like when you are fourteen and you have a certain merit badge you can shoot shotguns and drive a motor boat. So just to sum it up you earn merit badges you get rewarded.

            There are seven ranks you can advance through and here they are in order from lowest to highest: scout, tenderfoot, second class, first class, Star scout, life scout, and Eagle scout. Now the ranks take a healthy mind and body to advance through but it is worth it. If you are an eagle and you apply for a job and they see you got eagle they see you know what you are doing and it gets you a good job and it could pay for your college.

            Well that is what I know from experience in scouting. I encourage you to join scouting and live the thrill of being a scout. I will sum it up you camp and meet new friends a lot, you earn lots of merit badges, and you can prove you know what to do by advancing through many ranks. Well hope my essay encourages you to join scouting.

Here is my own folktale.

One day a mentally deranged maniac built a bomb capable of blowing up the world and demanded 9.5 billion dollars in cash to defuse the bomb. Then at that time a space shuttle came in a nose dive to earth just as a way of gamma radiation hit. Then it landed and its young pilot named Chrystler Morning Star stepped out.

Chrystler Morning Star was just a normal boy until he was caught in a gamma radiation wave as he reentered earths atmosphere like he had caught the flu just a week ago and was genetically altered and was given the speed of sound and light together and then some, the strength of all people past, present, and future, he has the knowledge to do anything and everything, and his sense of nature is so good he has the power of every living or extinct animal. One day Chrystler was told to find the bomb that threatens to destroy the world.

                After long day of research he found that its not were but when to look for the bomb. So he worked day and night to build a portable time machine and finished it a day after. He traveled back in time but to far and ended up in the time of the dinos. On the way he saw he dropped his machine and ran all the way around the continent and he was so fast he split the 1 big continent into 7 smaller continents. Soon he got to his destination in time and tried to defuse the bomb.

                When he saw the bomb he ran up to it only to find it guarded by 120 men. The fight was fierce, and one by one the men guarding it fell down. Only that they were like ants. It was they fell and got back up or they fell and 3 more took their place. The timer on the bomb was ticking down,”10…9…8…7…” he had to settle this quick. Then a loud boom shook the area and all the guards fell and no more came. Finally he could defuse the bomb. “4…3…2…1…” it stopped and he never touched it, then he saw his time travel machine was interfering with it. The chance he had hopped for came and he defused the bomb saving the world like no one else could.

                He was a hero. He had saved the world and turned in the most wanted villain throughout the continents. He finally returned home and kicked back and turned on the T.V. Finally he could rela… “HELP! Some one is threatening to blow up Missouri!” Here we go again.         

                                                                                -_-

                                                                        The End?

here is what i think about school uniforms

Should we wear school uniforms?!?!?!?

Would you want the color and fun taken out of your school by school uniforms? Bet you wouldn’t.  Many kids might say no and some might say yes. Well in miss storms class of CES (Concordia elementary school) 8 /17 say no and 9/17 says yes but the ones who say no are smart in most people’s view. Well if you want to know why some schools say yes and others say no this is the paper for you.

Well there are pros and cons but most are a con. Here are the reasons many others say no to the dull uniforms. 76% of public schools do not wear school uniforms which means the other 24% do. Here are some quotes of the cons in the class of miss storms 6^th grade at Concordia elementary school, “I hate the idea of our school wearing uniforms, they would dull up the day and there would be more mental harassment.” I say, “I would hate it if we had them, it would be like trying to find the differences between the atoms of the exact same element.” Says John Daugherty, “I would leave the school thinking I was like everyone else, I wouldn’t stand out and I’m a standout kind of guy.” says Joseph Magallanes, well that’s other kid opinions that are against uniforms and 95% agree with them.

Well here are the reasons the pros say they want uniforms, “Uniforms would keep the harassment levels down on the physical category.” says Jazlyn meek, “I would get to wear a tie and I wouldn’t get teased for physical appearance.” says Ammon Curtis, “Everyone would like each other and there would be more school pride.” says Andrew (drew) Hon,  “They would make us look more civilized and there would be less harassment , There are many harassment related deaths and suicides in kids because of harassment (ex. A kid jumped in front of a moving R.V. because of bullying in his school about physical appearance.)” Says Cameron (cam) Cooper. Well that is the pro side and most would disagree. There still would be physical and mental harassment around the school.

School uniforms would be more expensive and there would be no expression. There are some uniforms that can be $100 and the cheapest are $50. Those prices are insane in most people’s view. There would be no expression at all; almost all kids express their individuality through their choice of clothing. Take that away you take away their personality, life, and fun. And that is pretty much a kid’s whole social life.

Well that’s not all the facts on the con side have but I want your say in this debate. So what do you think should our school have uniforms? Some still think not. Good bye and hope you sided with the cons.

WWII

WWII

You hear the sounds of WWII

The unforgettable sounds of war.

You hear the Germans yelling.

You hear the guns firing

You hear the shouts of men,

Ready to die for their country

You see the Americans charging,

Defending their country and freedom

You hear the generals shouting.

You wish it wasn’t so

But the war is real

You wish you weren’t picked

To fight this war

But you stand your ground

And the other men dying around you

Bullets whizzing by your ear.

And count your stars you weren’t picked but this is what it was like

For my grandfather.

Grandparents

Grandparents are our parent’s parents.

There our grandmas and grandpas.

Grandma makes the best pie I can’t lie.

Grandpa makes a boring day fun.

Our grandparents are so grand.

Their heads full of waves of vast knowledge.

And grand parents are like parents to me.

my pie poem

My love of pumpkin pie

I love pumpkin pie to much to lie

about my love of pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin pie is a sweet treat to eat.

Needs wippedcream or I’ll scream.

Pumpkin pie is oh so sweet.

Everyone needs to eat this sweet treat.

Some love it more than me.

But my love for this sweet treat is the most love for a treat I’ve ever seen. Sometimes it looks like a fable. The masterpiece of the table. My mom wishes me sweet dreams.

But my head takes it to literally and I dream of the sweet treat known as pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a thankful day.

It’s a day of feasting.

It’s a time of plump tummies.

People eat themselves sick.

They stuff their mouths full.

They gobble down that turkey.

It’s a time of pie.

And it’s a time for an all you can eat at home.

By: Brendan

Friends

Friends are the ones who cheer you up.

They are there by your side ready to help when you are hurt.

They stand up for you in your time of need.

They give you company at thanksgiving.

They will help when they are asked or needed.

Friends are the ones who make every day life fun.

Friends are what make school worth looking forward to.

They make you pie.

And friends are just friends to me.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                “Hey Bill come here!” yelled mom. Now Bill was upstairs playing videogames when his mom called so he couldn’t hear her. His mom called again, “Bill, its dinner time!” Bill walked downstairs and ate dinner. After dinner Bill went upstairs and went to bed. The next morning Bill packs his flashlight, granola bars, and his water bottle. After he was packed he went to a cavern he had been to many times before. This time it was dark and gloomy instead of clear and sunny. Bill didn’t care and entered the cavern not paying attention to the sign that said, “DO NOT ENTER!!! Infested with Black Mambas, Monsters, and risk of flood and cave in!!!!!!!!”  As Bill entered the cavern he heard a crumbling sound. Then he heard a loud CRACK! Bill jumped out of the way just in time to see the entrance to the cavern collapse. The cavern was pitch-black so Bill tried to turn on his flashlight but it doesn’t work. Suddenly he hears a dripping sound. Drip. Drip. Drip. Bill became very scared when he remembered the sound from a book he read were a thirst driven kid was lead to his doom by a liquid monster using the sound of dripping water. Bill remembered it was just a story. The sound continued, drip, drip, drip. Bill gathered every ounce of courage and advanced to the sound. The problem was the closer he got the farther away the sound got. He stopped to think “is it an echo or is it the monster like in his book?!?!?!” He decided to continue toward the sound only to find himself at the edge of a pit of Black Mambas. He nearly stopped himself from falling in. After that he was very cautions. As he moved on he heard another sound in the corner. This time it wasn’t a dripping, but a growling.

                Bill stopped and listened, and then suddenly a hideous thing jumped out and jumped him then knocked him out. When Bill came to he heard the sound of 100,000,000 monsters. The sounds sounded like fans at a wrestling match. There was a fire in the middle and towering above it was the thing that jumped him. The thing introduced itself as the monster king. It had the body of an ape, the head of a jaguar, and the tail of a domestic house cat. It challenges Bill to a fight, and Bill accepts. Soon both of them start advancing towards each other exchanging glares as they circled the fire. Without warning the fight begins. The only thing that was visible was the occasional shilloute of the punches being thrown at each other. Then the monster king let out an angry growl. He yelled “the human has escaped in the pitch-black darkness. Find him and KILL HIM!!!!” Bill had ran away and hid behind a bolder. After a while Bill saw a monster advancing towards him with a torch and a knife. The monster stopped next to Bill and turned to stare t him. Bill froze in fear. After 3 hours of that monster stareing at him it moved on but in a faster pace than normal. Bill knew it was going to tell the monster king where he was. Bill took that opportunity to sprint to the end of the cavern. Then he saw a light at the end. He thought for a moment, “ should I advance toward the light or go back?” Finally he headed to the light. He was joyed to see a creek that he remembered well. He ran with the creek and into the backdoor of his father’s shop.

The End

The Great White Shark

Here is my expository writing on The Great White Shark, 

Everybody out of the water, it’s a shark!!!!! That’s not just any shark, that’s the Great White Shark. In this essay you will find these amazing facts about how The Great White Shark is classified as a fish, why this amazing creature is the 3^rd biggest shark, how it reproduces, and its defense mechanisms. Are you amazed? Well that was just a taste. This whole paper is filled with amazing facts that will blow your mind. Read this paper and find all those amazing facts.

     The Carcharodon Carcharias or known to us as the Great White Shark is probably the most feared yet the most misunderstood shark ever in our common time that’s so because it attacks people and we think that it dose it porously but it confuses surfers for seals . It’s probably also the most powerful shark thanks to its muscle packed and stream lined body. A full grown male weighs over 7000 lbs and reaches lengths up to 23 ft. Well amazed, If not you people don’t know half of the facts on this amazing creature. So if you like my paper so far please read on and find out why it’s classified as a fish.

     Okay if you listened you will read on, and find out more about The Great White Shark. The Great White Shark is a cold blooded hybrid carnivore. In its own defense it will attack any thing that gets to close to it or it’s young.  This creature’s defensive weapon is its rows of super sharp serrated teeth witch is meant for ripping and tearing through flesh. Instead of lungs it breaths through its gills. If provoked it can turn really mean and vicious. So stay away from it. It’s one of those animals that give birth to live young. Their young are 5 feet at birth and have 2-14 pups or babies at a time. Luckily even though it’s greatly prized and hunted the Great White Shark is not endangered. Are you amazed? Well read on, don’t stop, and find out more.

     The Great White Shark is a migrater. The females are the ones that migrate the most. The Great White Shark travels alone and is rarely seen in pairs. They love to live near the most temperate coastlines. They will viciously attack anything that gets to close to it or its young. So the Great White Shark may be peaceful at times but never throw caution to the wind when dealing with these magnificent creatures.

     So let’s review what you learned. You learned what the Great White Shark looks like, why it’s classified as a fish, how it uses its teeth to defend it self, and how it reproduces. Remember never stop learning. The animal kingdom has the most amazing creatures. Keep on learning
