The Twins of Life

By: Roxanne Jackson

       Once during a school day two girls named Alexa and Alex where getting their things out of there lockers. They where in all of the same classes together and stat by each other. See, all of the teachers sit them by there last names so they sit by each other. Most people think they are stupid and immature. They think they are stupid too, but they are wrong. Alexa has a purple, pink color of hair, has green eyes, and wears a t-shirt and a plaid shirt with knee socks. Alex has a light pink color of hair, dark pink eyes, wears ruffle filled shirts, jeans and likes to be curious.

Alexa and Alex went over to their friend Olivia’s house. Olivia’s parents are rich so she gets almost anything she wants. She has frizzy blond hair, red eyes, usually has a bow in her hair, and mostly wears a red and white dress. “So you want to go outside and study?” Olivia asked. “Sure!” Alexa slowly said. So they went outside and sat on Olivia’s trampoline. “Hey what’s that?” “Lets go check it out!” Alexa and Alex exclaimed. “I’ll just stay over here!” Olivia shouted as she didn’t want to be a part of it. They slowly walked toward it. “It’s a……………..”

“It’s a…………….. bottle cap?!?!” They looked at it in so many ways hoping it was something more. Out of no where a man with black gloves put helmets over there heads so they couldn’t talk, he had rope and tied their hands and feet. He threw them in the back of a truck and closed the lid. Alexa managed to slip her feet free and took off her helmet and Alex’s off. Alexa took her feet put it in between her hands and snapped the rope. Alexa untied Alex but then the truck stopped. The man came around to the end of the truck and opened up the lid. Alexa grabbed  her helmet and threw it.

The man grabbed his head in pain. He threw the girls into a box and tossed them into a river. He was mumbling but Alexa could sort of make out the words. “They are gone! Ha! Ha!” “I have my liter in my pocket!” Alex said with amazement. “Give it to me. I have a plan. We can use the liter to make a hole in a box!” “But we might be underwater” Alex pointed out. “Well, we can hold our breath and hope for the best!”

Alexa took the liter, flicked it on and started burning the wood. Water started leaking in and they just kept cutting. Alexa only had to cut a little bit more when “Stop!” Alex had screamed. “Why? Don’t you want to live?” “No, do it slower. The water is up to my neck.” Alexa and Alex held their breath and swam out of the box. They reached land and sat on a big boulder.

Alexa went out in search for food so they could have lunch and go back to Olivia’s. Alexa came back with 5 berries, 10 nuts, 3 bananas, and fresh water from a mountain stream that she filtered. “Wow how did you carry all of that food?” “I found a fishing net next to the stream.” Alexa hauled all of the food over next to the boulder. As they munched down on all the food they talked about what had happened that day. “I wonder why that man captured us?” “I don’t know but he has some problems.” After most of the food was gone they put the rest in the fishing net and hauled it behind the boulder. They walked over to where the truck stopped but they did not see.

Alexa walked a little further and found a Smiles napkin. A Smile is a chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry swirl with double fudge dip and coated with any topping. On it, it said “They are gone and the short blond girl is next!” “Olivia!” Alexa and Alex screamed. They ran around screaming “Olivia where are you!” They reached the trampoline and stood on it so they could see better. “Olivia!” They ran all around town looking for her.

Lastly they looked in the school. School, when its not opened, not cool. They ran all over the school and looked everywhere. Next they looked in the gym. No Olivia. Bus line? No Olivia. Stage room? “Olivia!” They ran down the isle screaming Olivia. They walked up on stage, and what did they see Olivia saying “Oh price, I will miss you!” She was in a play and it was live in front of thousands of people. That is the last play they will ever be in.

Bulling and what it leads to

Key:

Black writing me

Green writing mysterious source

Interview

Well bulling isn't pretty and most of us don't like to see it. So how is it all started?

Well I think that it is all started from someone picking on a little kid and the little kid tells an adult and the older kid says that he will get him back.

True, but there is also another way.

What is it, I can't think of it?

Well also the little kid could be picking on the little kid and the bigger kid might hurt the little kid.

Well how does that all start?

When the little kid picks on the bigger guy, he might think he is in charge so will start yelling at everybody. Eventually it could lead to suicide.

How could it lead to horrible things like that?

Sometimes it becomes so bad that do things to hurt themselves.

But why do they take there own life's so they won't get bullied?

They take there life's because they want the bulling to stop, the kids kill themselves and think that's the best way to make it stop.

Why don't they tell anybody that they are getting hurt.

Well most people think that if they tell the bully will find out and they are afraid they will get hurt more than they already do.

But what about sexual harassment? I have seen that on the news a lot, but what is it?

Sexual harassment is someone teasing some about their body and places on there body.

Well, now that i know bulling is very serious i will take a stand and protect this place!

Now that was our interview, but here are some ways to prevent bulling. If you see someone bulling step up and try to stop it or if it is phisical contact go get a adult and they are sure to break up the fight

Bulling speak up

This interview was made by Roxanne Jackson and a very good friend!

Ancient Ruins

     Once a girl named Trina was hiking to train for the hiking tournament on her property. She walked on her usual trail, and then heard rustling off to the side. Then she screamed and ran off the trail. She saw what made the rustling, it was a  little fawn. Her long jet black hair go caught in the bushes, so she turned around and untangled it. Then she turned around and shivered “B…..Bi…..” Then looks down at it’s feet “BIGFOOT!”

          She shivered and backed up as far as she could. Then he pulled up a old, wrinkled paper that had  writing Trina couldn’t understand. Then Bigfoot wandered back where he came from. She looked all around the woods to see if she could find the trail. Trina came across a book and found out it was a translator. She used it on the paper. It said “To all will you have treasure seek. You must find the Ancient Ruins.”

 She looked all over and found a very large stone it had mysterious writing and she translated it with the book. It said “Ancient Ruins.” “Yes I found it! I wonder what it does?” She wondered. It opened and a floating orb was inside. She reached slowly toward it wonder if she should touch it or not. She was so nervous she could barley hold her self up.

 She grabbed it, a flash went threw the world and all she saw was white. She fell and still held the orb. She let go and all of it stopped. “I can take whatever it throws at me!” She rapidly grabbed the orb and fell so hard that she screamed. The turned different colors and flew Trina all over. Then she appeared in her bed. “What happened?”

The meaning of Thanksgiving

I think the meaning of Thanksgiving is being thankful for all that you have and having nice meal in front of you everyday. I have a roof over my head, food, toys and my siblings to keep me company and that is somethings that i am thankful for. I kept thinking that when i was little that i needed more, more, more and even more. Then one day i learned a valuable lesson and wanted less neediness. I also think that Thanksgiving is being around the table with family and getting to know each other a little more than you already do.

Paragraph two

I have been thankful at all the holidays because on New years you get to have the joy of beginning 2011. On The Forth of July  you get to see all the fire works. On  Easter you get to play with eggs and be with family. On Memorial day  you get to see the parade. On Thanksgiving  you get to be with family and have a great big feast. Lastly on Christmas you get all the presents you want and you should be grateful for that.

My favorite story

My favorite story would have to be The Fire Within. The Fire Within is a mythical book that has the main character David Rain and he lives with a girl named Liz and her daughter Lucy. He lives there because he has to have a home and pays rent because it is closer to the college than his other home.. As he looks all around the house he sees a bunch of little clay dragons. Then he learns that they are real and names his own Gadzooks. Now he goes threw challenges and fights evil that wants the dragons all to them self. 

There are four of these books and they are called book 1.)The Fire Within, 2.)Ice Fire, 3.)Fire star and 4.)The Eternal Fire. I have not read Fire Star and The Eternal Fire but I am getting closer and closer. I need to get book three then book four. This is probaly the best mythical book in America. So check it out they are awesome. 

How to write a good intruduction

Writing a good introduction is very important in any story. I like in a story that the author gives a good introduction. A boring introduction will bore the reader and will not read the rest of your story.
A bad introduction is shown below.
              I went to the park yesterday and now i will tell you about it.......
Now for a good introduction that is shown below.
              I went to Bangor Park yesterday and I had a lot of fun. I got to go on the tire swing and the slide. I also went on the hay ride and I will tell you all about it............
Now that was a good and bad introduction. Introductions may have juicy detail and tells what the story is about or what will happen or be in the story. Usually a introduction tells about a story but does not give away all of the story.
