HALLOWEEN!!!! COSTUME!!!!

My Halloween costume is weird and and cute i guess. I am a crayon and it is a pink one too. I got it not a long ago. I wanted to be this mad for you but they didn't have my size so i was looking all around and found it, the one i wanted a crayon i wanted the lime green one but they were out of them and they only had a pink crayon left. I had to get that one even though its a little big with some touch ups it will be nice. I got my Halloween costume at Spirit Halloween. They had many choices but since i chose mine close to the last minute they didn't have many choices for my size. I've never seen any costume like this before or seen a costume like this so i got it. It was really cool.

patriotism

                                      

Patriotism is really important. It really matters. If you really respect our country and people who served for our country you would know right away that it matters and personally I think it matters.

When I hear the word Patriotism I think of the men and woman who served for our country. I also think of the colors red, white, and blue, and the love for our country. Patriotism stands out in my life. If patriotism is men and woman who served our country it should stand out for every person. If we didn’t have the military, army, air force, navy, coast guard, and other people our country would be very unsafe and crazy. Even with the men and woman who served our country our life as we know it is still at risk. People rarely let there kids walk everywhere they go like they use to be able to when are parents and grandparents were children. Our life would be even worst without them.  

Freedom, hope, respect, spirit, love, and many other words come to my mind when I think of Patriotism. Mostly the word spirit comes to mind when I hear Patriotism. It comes to mind because when you hear the word spirit I think of like school spirit and colors for our country instead of for school. Spirit for our country is the colors red, white, and blue. The colors of the American flag. The colors that show our nation, our country, and where we come from. Not our nationality because we have a special country one with almost every single culture and religion.

The people such as army, navy, coast guard, marines, and all other things, you should thank. They served for our country and a lot of people don’t want to risk there lives to protect our country and there nice enough to give up there life and die for our country. I think patriotism is super important and is a great thing. You should think the same and think about how many people died to save everyone in our country, all our lives just to protect our lives, from dying.

                                  

Mirroring Ralph Fletcher

     In the book that we read little snippets about by Ralph Fletcher there were some outstanding sentences, dialogue,and a lot of other goodies. In the short story "First Pen" Ralph states "What words were hidden-unborn , unwritten-in all the unused ink." (Fletcher Pg. 43) He is describing how special it is to write with that ink and how he makes up special touching stories like "First Pen" That he got to write only because of that special pen he has. In the book "Marshfield" I was able to relate to the story very easily in the excerpt "Bobby." This is a sad one but its very touching. Ralph states "Bobby never got the chance to grow up. In his last year of high school he was killed in a car accident."(Ralph. Pg 59-60) This sentence was sad and touching. These little short chapters was very descriptive and some were sad and some had humor.

SUPER.............................DUPER..........................LOOPER

As we were walking in Hershey park one ride caught my eye, the super...duper....lopper! I've never been on an upside down ride before so this was my first try. My friends from soccer and our parents told us to try the ride. My friend Elena and I got in line so she can go with me. Every one else had a different partner. We were up next. As i was standing on line goosebumps formed  on my arms. I was nervous. the cart for us to go in was ready. Elena and I jumped into the cart and was shaking. Elena and i were the only people who has never been on an upside down ride before. They buckled us in now we really can't get out in til the ride is over. The man speaking at the microphone said " ready, set, GO." Now we were going up the loop.  I just sat there so calm and didn't do anything not one scream, and i didn't close my eyes. I finally got over my fear and roller coasters, and upside down rides are all i go on.
