As I as walking up the street beside my girlfriend/daughter Roxxy, I saw a squirrel. I looked and looked as the squirrel was eating the nuts off the ground. Then I made signal to Roxxy so my owner, Michael, wouldn't see me. I pulled away from Michael to go after the squirrel. I saw Roxxy right beside me. "Aw man," I cried as the squirrel was laughing at me up in the tree! Why do I even try? I asked myself. Michael runs up to me and says, "DON'T DO THAT!" Roxxy and I walked away mutely like our voices were gone. When we arrived back home I contemplated about what I did as Michael kept on yelling at me. I let Roxxy in the house first because I heard Michael telling mommy what I did,as I walked in everybody was gawking at me like I had committed a crime. I tried to keep it cool and make it seem like it wasn't as bad as Michael made it sound, so I hid behind Roxxy. She jostled me. At this point, I was envious of Roxxy because everybody made me feel dismal.

I.D.K. Kitchen
1st step of getting started:
I'm going to start a restaurant called I.D.K. (I Don't Know) Kitchen. First I will finish high school, then I will keep cooking and get my food taste tested. Everytime I discover a new recipe I will write it in my cookbook.
2nd step of getting started:
1) Go to college to get a business degree.
2) After getting my business degree, I will get a loan for a building to use as the restaurant.
3) I will hire my workers (My family members and maybe some friends).
4) After I hire my workers, I will start shopping for the items and food (at least 20 carts of food) such as pancake mix, milk, chocolate chips, and everything else.
5) Call the health inspectors to come inspect my business.
6) Start the restaurant (I.D.K. Kitchen).
The restaurant stayed open from 7am on January 1st to 7am January 2nd. The favorite dish of the night was strawberry pancakes.
I felt excellent about my restaurant that opening night. I hope everything will keep going well. I am planning to go worldwide and become a millionaire. I will donate 50% of my money to the courthouse (to get the elevators fixed) and I will donate money to the school system to clean up schools and get new textbooks and get Satellite TV.

life on the moon
If you could go back in time and change the future, but only had five minutes, where would you go?
Before people land on the moon i would take a plant so they could find life on the moon.
I would take a rocket ship with me from the future to get a better landing or get faster to the moon other than using the old rocket ships.
I will take a tree from the rain forest because they could be much more stronger than any other tree.
I will nail the tree to the ground so it could stay on the moon floor because the gravity could make it float a way.
I will leave an iphone so they could develop a new phone on the past and we could have better ones on the future.
and leave a flag that will say I WUZ HERE =) lol....

Monster by Walter Dean Myers
Steven Harmon was arrested for a robbery and murder. He was believed to be the look out for two other gentlemen. King and Bobo went into the drugstore and committed the crime. Steven ended up being found not guilty.
Steven wrote in a journal while he was in jail. Steven wrote about things he saw and heard in jail. For example, other prisoners told Steven stories about life in jail, specifically bad stories about prisoners getting hurt. Steven also wrote about the jury and how they looked at him as some sort of monster.
Throughout the story Steven felt sad and worried. Steven was also scared because he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life in jail. I really enjoyed this story because it showed Steven's true emotions. I learned about his life in and out of jail.

My Frantic Obession With Charlie & The Chocolate
The first time I saw the movie I was very excited and wanted to watch it some more. I think that was the best movie I have ever watched. It had candy and chocolate and those are my two favorite things. I also like it because of the people in it, the Oompa Loompas, and the funny songs they sang. One reason I like Oompa Loompas is because they are like veterinarians to the children instead of animals. When I found out there was another Wonka movie I freaked. Where is it? I want that movie now! My friends and I went to the movies and waded through the crowds just to get in. Then I decided that I had to get it on dvd.
On Christmas morning, I got the dvd and more. I jostled out of my room that morning just to see what i got for my Willy Wonka obsession.I got the lip gloss, a pillow, a cd, a shirt, and pajamas, and I still want more.
I watched the movie so many times my mom said to me,"stop or your brain is going to boil."
