Games of Twilight

 Authors Note: This is a Conflict and Resouloution peice, On The Hunger Games and Twilight!

 Katniss Everdeen  and her family come from a coal mining district. In each district there is one boy and one girl, who are chosen  to battle for  their lives. They can only be picked if they are between the ages of 12 and 18.  Their journey starts at the reaping , where they are chosen for the Hunger Games.  Then they move on their journey to “The Capitol” , there they are greeted by a lot of crazy people with sort of spooky costumes.  Moving on they then have to go to a live television interview to where they have get sponsors, who throughout the games will send  them things that will help them survive.  After that they are shipped to wherever the games are, on that flight they get a tracking device embedded in their skin. Once they are at the destination for the games, they are set up on their podium until the countdown gets to one. When that happens they rush to get the best fighting tools, to kill humans and animals alike. In the end of how ever much time they need to kill everyone , leaving only one person . That person is declared the Hunger Games Champion.

But the 74^th Hunger Games are all to different for Katniss, when it comes to the reaping. She has to make the decision against herself , when her sister is chosen as the girl tribute. I mean it’s guess that I would say that her heart was beating pretty fast when she heard “Primrose Everdeen” over the loud speaker.  But she ended up volunteering in place of her sister ; went through everything that all of the other tributes in the 74 years.

In the first book of “Twight” Bella , the main character. Is pretty much shipped to live with her dad, who she hasn’t spoken to in about 5 years. When she meets up with her old friend , Jacob Black things start to get strange. On her first day at her new school, she sees “The Cullen’s “ known for acting suspicious.  When Bella is seated next to Edward Cullen in class , He seems to find Bella disgusting. But when she almost gets crushed by a friends van, Edward somehow shoves the van to the side ; with bare hands.  Jacob then tells her all about some legends, about blood suckers. She looks into it; concludes that “The Cullen’s “ are vampires.  Edward suddenly disappears for a week or two. But when he comes back he confesses that he only avoided her because the smell of her blood.  Over time , Edward and Bella fall in love.  But she doesn’t know if she loves Jacob or if she loves Edward.

So the conflict for this story is ,that she has to decide if she can take the spot of the “food “ in the relationship with Edward. Or always be on the watch for when Jacob may turn into a “dog” or even a “werewolf”.   But in the end she ends up picking Edward, who is a blood sucking vampire ; who has save her life.

Dear Founding Fathers ,

All of us in the US feel that we needed to thank you for all the good you did. We enjoy the games that you have created. All of the great inventions. Everything you did ,we still do today. We live by; well most of your rules. The way you thought of how to keep your money wasn’t the greatest but that’s ok. You did create our country the greatest way.  Washington , Hamilton , Franklin , Adams, Jefferson , Jay and Madison. Thanks guys for all your work .

Ben Franklin you making odometer was a great Idea , it helps run all the cars and measure a distance really helps.  George Washington , you were the first president and starting World War 1 was great. Thomas Jefferson , You organized the Democratic  Republic and everyone has a different take on that. You also signed the bill of rights . James Madison , you were part of the House of Representatives and was the fourth president. Alexander Hamilton , you were the USAS  first secretary  . John Adams , you were the USAS second president . Thank you for your amazing participation.

Who I would like to thank the most is probably Ben , you are the one that made it so our cars count the miles. They also make a Pedometer , it is sort of like a Human Odometer . It counts that persones steps and every mile she/he  runs.  I have used a Pedometer in gym. We think that there is always going to be a ways to use one .

Thank you for all your hard work and devotion. You will always be remembered for this. I look up to everyone of you. Thanks again yours forever and ever

Cheer Health

Authors Note ; I wrote this so that everyone would know that Cheerleading is a sport and is not to b taken lightly . This is a true story.

It was a mucky day , driving up the large hill. With many civets in the long drive. Circling around to the high school parking lot. Sticky hot weather , sweating even before cheer. You know I love the way my hand moves through the wind, out the window ; to the beat of sound.  Sometimes I wonder what I would do without music. I had missed my alarm this morning causing me to miss my home game for cheer.  I see all my so called Sisters waiting for more people to arrive.  Right when the car comes to halt , I jump out and run into a swarm of hugs.

           
After conditioning and about 1,000,000 cheers. We moved onto stunting. I’m a pro at baseing elevators . I live for, I guess throwing girls my age in the air and catching them. But this time it was different. I was in my stance for an elevator but , she fell. I went to catch her but stepped funny. It felt like my knee cap popped out. I didn’t know what to do I just stood there, my feelings were mad and then I realized that this is serious and not to worry about that aspect.I had torn my MENSCUIS  

Now it is about 2 months later and I’m still out of gym. Going to physical therapy . Watching my bestfreinds doing what they love. But I’m sitting out alone. Out of Competition, just watching everything form in front of my eyes. It’s really sad, I  feel like I let everyone down. But I have to keep my head up and show everyone I’m ok , I will get them next time.

Sisters 4 Ever

I walk through the ,what seems like forever hallways. Anticipation rises through my body . Searching for the room number. My mind running in all directions. But four  words keep repeating “I’m  a big sister” . The ride on the elevator is excruciating. I Stepped out onto the slick floor. My winter boots flopped onto the floor. But only one thing mattered , seeing her. There it was, the room that holds her, my sister.  I knock slowly hoping not to disturb anyone. I hear my mother’s frail voice call “Come In”.  I tiptoe in past the curtain and I see a small pink blanket in my mother’s arms. There she Is , my baby sister Grace.

Four years later I’m in the same position , same hospital. But now I’m walking along with my sister grace. She seems to be much more excited, the same way I was. We get to the door and I see something crazy. Grace is acting the same way I did when I came to see her the first time. Slightly knocking and waiting for a answer. When she hears one she tiptoes in. Me following close behind. Before me I see my life as a single child , to a big sister to two fabulous young ladies. How blessed I was.

We Fight, Scream and Are not the nicest to each other all of the time. But in the end we are sisters and we need each other. In the long run we will always have each other to lean on. It’s hard to be the Big Sister all the time , I’m not going to lie. Always being a role model ? Always doing the right things? No of course not , I mess up.  But I love my two little sisters Livy and Grace.

My Ittle Liver Sausage

 Authors Note : My little sister means everything to me. Written by nobody but me.

The day when my little sister  Olivia was born I was ecstatic. When I held her in my arms , I started to cry. She was just so cute and I never wanted to let her go.  She was mine, all mine. I actually started to get almost jealous when someone would take her from me. When my other sister Grace was born when i was 7 and i never felt this way somehow. I thought maybe it was because, i was older and appreciated her more. When we brought her home, she seemed to just fit in.  Me and Grace would get into fights about who would hold her next.

Higher Than the Heel

Higher Than the Sky!
Todd is my name. My home is Target. Very stinky men, shove their very disgusting toes into me. I don't understand why this is so funny.  But i guess my sense of humor is not the same. But the thing is , it is better than the one time this woman took me home and then brought me back.  I was heel broken. Like really my whole entire heel was off. So i was shoved  into this very dark box for “hours”. All of the sudden , the top of this chamber flew off and i fell  out of this moving machine that is held high in the air.  AH, i screamed.  Then i fell to my death.
