The Tell-Tale Heart

So tell me is he insane? I think he is. He may say that he is sane, but some of the things he does really makes me doubt that. I believe that he is insane.

There is this guy (his name was not mentioned) who works for this old man. This is no ordinary old man because he has the Evil Eye. The man decides to kill the man to destroy the evil, because that is the most sane thing you can do.  The man suffocates the old man with a mattress. Then he chops in up into little pieces and hides them underneath the floorboards.   

First of all why kill someone just because their eye. Why would you kill someone in the first place. Then chop them up into little pieces. What is wrong with this guy? This guy is definitely insane.

Patriot's Pen

Are you proud of your country? I am proud of my country. They started this country from 13 small colonies; defeated England to win our freedom and worked up from nothing to make this great nation named America. In this you have your own rights and you can choose what religion you are. I am not saying everything the US did was perfect, but I would say we are a pretty great country.  

Conclusion Practice

Author's Note: This was our assignment to practice writing conclusions for a fiction short story. I thought it was a good ending because of the twist. Feedback would be great. 

On her way to deliver the poison apple to Snow White, the Evil Queen got hungry. She was so hungry she was about to faint. All she had was the apple; it looked so perfect. Her hand started shaking. Her face started sweating. She starts to lift the apple towards her mouth. Right as she's just about ready to take a bite………………DOMO jumps out of the bush, slaps the apple out of her hand, and throws her off the Grand Canyon!!        THE END

Casey Strikes out

Breaking News

Mudville loses 4-2. They had a chance in the ninth when Casey strikes out for the last out with 2 men on base. What a shame. The conflict was that they were losing by 2 and they had 2 men on base. Rising actions was when Casey was stepping up to bat. The climax was at the end when Casey strikes out; it's the point of no return because you can't really restart the game. The resolution is that Casey strikes out.

Year-End Review

Author’s Note: This is my final Year-end wrap up. My final piece of 7th grade. I just wanted to tell you just how my 7th grade year went.

This was a very different year. Not exactly the type of classes most school goers have. There were good things and some bad things about it. Overall This has been one of the best years ever.

First of all, I wasn’t in regular classes, I was in Academy 21. I know what you are probably thinking “What is Academy 21?” Well, Academy 21 is a project based year of learning. You choose the project and how you present it. During the project you have to hit certain area like social studies or science.

While doing that we also did a program called Aleks. Which is a supplement to a  real math class since there isn’t to much math in our project. It really helped me, because I was able to finish 2 years of math in just 7th grade. Now I get to go to the high math class.

During resource we have seminars. Which are like regulars classes but for a short amount of time. We were able to request something that we were struggling with and we may work on that for the next seminar.

Like most people We still have electives like gym or french. My electives were gym, french, band, tech ed, and robotics. We also started a literature/book club. We meet every A day during 5th hour.

This 7th grade was one of the best years ever. It was a great experience to have during the school years. Next I will being going back to regular classes. Also this year went extremely fast. Though it was a fun year I can’t wait for summer.
