My little stroll =D
One day I was playing runescape when I suddenly felt the urge to go for a travel. So I grabbed a bottle of juice and some crackers and began my long hard journey around the block.
As I stepped off my front porch I was surprised to see an exquisite red wagon shining in front of me. I decided to sit in this and drive to Milwaukee where Nathaniel and me would work and eventual take over. After I realized my little red speed machine wasn’t exactly moving, I hopped off and continued my little adventure.
After a bit hopping around my trek brought me too a cone house. The door on it was opened so I seen no reason not to enter. I stepped in to find a man smoking a pipe and rocking out to some Metallica. I said hey to the man, he looked at me wide eyed and said “Hey dude.” After we had about a 15-minute conversation on the many colors of his chameleon I told him I had to go and that I would be sure to come and visit another time.
As I kept walking I noticed a man asleep in his car. I also noticed that there was something odd about the whole thing seeing as there was a man asleep in a turned on car so I decided to investigate. I went over and nudged the mans arm attempting to wake him up, after I realized this wasn’t working I gave him a bite. But still there was no movement. I got up on his and started jumping. I then concluded that the man must have been up all night and was now in a coma like sleep. I kept walking a bit then realized for some reason there was a large tube hooked from his tail pipe into his window, who knows what that was for.
As I kept on walking I found a man on a lawn chair. He was laying there and I did a front flip up over the chair. The man looks at me and says “a limber one aren’t you” I said “I suppose so” then the man asked me to go down to his cellar and get myself a Popsicle. Popsicles are of course my kryptonite so I went down, only to hear the door lock behind me. I figured it must have fell shut, so I grabbed my Popsicle, hopped out the window and continued my stroll.
I continued along when I found an amazing tree. My natural instincts were of course to climb it. So I made my way up the tree and found a squirrel I chased it in and out of holes in the tree until I lost itL. I was so disappointed that I did a front flip out of the tree cried and ran away.
I hopped my way around some other obstacles and here in am safe and sound. I might go back and get another popsicle from that man though J.

Review of a review: The Unborn
I picked this review of The Unborn because i believe it was the strongest of the vew i read. This review contains words and phrases that make you want to watch this movie, well if you like a good scare that is. Whoever wrote this review obviously enjoyed the movie and seems like they would recomend it.
Another important point about this review was that she describes the movie and catches the reader and doesn't exactly give away anything that happened in the movie. Even though they say nothing about what happens you can also tell it is a horror movie from the words that the writer used. I have seen the movie also and i dont think i could have found any better words to describe it.

Freedom Writers
Directed by Richard LaGravenese
I found Freedom Writers to be a very good movie and makes you realize how it is to live in a place like their. A couple of the main characters would be Hilary Swank, April L. Hernandez, ad Patrick Dempsey. It was released on January 5th, 2007 and was directed by Richard LaGravenese.
Freedom Writers is about a new teacher named Erin, teaching some troubled teens that are mostly mixed up in gangs. She ends up helping all of them a lot and becoming a much respected person to them. In some ways you could say they were all like a family and Erin was like their mother.
I would say Freedom Writers and The Outsiders. They compare because they are both about the gangs and discrimination of where someone is from. There is much more conflicts between race in Freedom Writers however. The way the socs think they are better than the greasers because they have all the money in The Outsiders i find is about the same as that. Freedom Writers is more about race than money but the basic idea of discrimination and how each takes it is the same.
I found the acting really good in this movie. The only thing I noticed that was of bad quality in this movie was how they only showed that the kids had 2 classes all day and it was in the same room. I just didn’t think that was very well thought out and was rather careless. That made the story seem less realistic to me. Over all though I found the acting very well done and the actors were well picked although some were obviously older than the characters they were playing.
I think the message of Freedom Writers was never to give up on life when things are hard and also not to discriminate people because of their race or color.

Dear Mr. Carter
I am writing you this letter to apply for a job in the sports section on the Blackville Talon. I think I would do good in this section because I play all the sports I would be reporting on within this school
Since I play all the sports and such I can have an inside view at everything that
went on. Also you wouldn’t have to worry about me slacking on it seeing as I would be there anyway. I love sports so even if it was for the senior girls games I m usually there to watch anyway.
Thank you for reading my letter, I’m available anytime for an interview, just give me a call.
Respectfully yours,

I was riding my horse and buggy into town to the store to buy some taters and smelts for the big barn raising tonight. I see people walking all around me, I assume just on their way back home from school seeing as it’s around 3 and they have bags. My buggy is bouncing horribly hard on the dirt road (wouldn’t wheels and bumpy dirt roads are kind of a rough combination.). Since the buggy is made of hard would it was very uncomfortable and rather painful to come down upon after a large bump. I smell a mixture of horse dung and my son sitting beside me who hasn’t had his monthly shower so it wasn’t such an amazing scent. Then as I approached the store I began to smell the entangling aroma of freshly cooked bread and tasty sweets. I get to the store and end up buying what I went for and more, this should be great for the barn raising.
