Dear Leon Panetta,

Hello. My name is Grant, I’m11 I’m from Gardner, Kansas and this is what I want from you. I would like to be a CIA assassin. One of the reasons I would want to do this is because I get to go around with a gun. It would be also cool because I get to travel and go on secret missions.
If I were to do this I would be really good. I am very athletic, fast, smart, and good with a gun. I have been in air soft wars and most of the time I win. And all I have is a pistol. I am also really good at sneaking up on people.
I don’t think my mom would really want me to do this though maybe my dad. I am also very risk taking. I was also wondering how much you guys would pay me to do this. So I’m willing to do almost everything you would say. So would you please let me join?
Sincerely,
Grant

            We had been planning this for a few days that I was going to audition for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. I had done the commercial business when I was in 1^st grade but than quit because it was boring to me. But you got to understand I was in 1^st grade. When we had got their, I had to get registered in. I told them I was in 4^th grade. Let me say one thing. OH MY GOSH! There were so many girls and boys. After a while they started to do the auditions. There were so many people they had to do auditions in groups.

            There were some people who were horrible. Then it was my turn. I was with some other boys who were auditioning for Ollie Herdman. I thought I did pretty good. Later I got a callback to come back later. The good thing was I probably I had at least a shot to making it.

            Later on that night we were getting so nervous to see if I had made it. My mom had said no matter what its o.k. if you didn’t make it. But I didn’t want that. I wanted to make it. As my dad pulled up the cast list and we scrolled down. Then the booming yell of me go YES! I had made it. I had got the part as Ollie Herdman. There were a lot of girls who just got a church girl. I understand that because they just wanted to be nice even though they only needed a few.

             Later on we went and celebrated. We had gone to 8 Ten Zone one of my favorite restaurants. It was so cool because I got anything I wanted their. After all our rehearsals we had a great turn out with all our showings. So I guess all that hard work was worth it. I had a great time.

            In 15 years I see myself doing a lot. You know how your parents tell you that you can be what ever you want to be. Well this is what I see myself doing in 15 years. I’m not saying I’m psychic but this is just what I predict. I see myself hopefully getting a scholarship to UNC or Florida and go there for 4 years. The reason I would like to go to those colleges for two reasons. One would to get away from my parents. The other is to play sports and hopefully get drafted.  While I’m there I’ll be studying Mathematics and Chemistry. While I’m there I’ll be there probably on a Football scholarship. I may also be there on an academic scholarship because I’m still very smart.

After I graduate and get my Bachelors degree I’ll either be an Architect or go into Investing. I would like to do that because it pays good money. Also because I’m very good at math and I’d probably like it. Then hopefully run the company. That’s what I see myself like in 15 years.

    Because it would be really cold and he didn’t have the right equipment.

If Betty had not have come then the bear could have broken most of Brians bones, or the bear could have killed him.

3.       Based on what you know about the outdoors, do the events in this story seem believable?  Explain. Yes because he had to hunt and make shelter. 

You can be freinds with anyone. Because Betty was a skunk and Brian was a human. 

Being in the wilderness showed that Brian was smart enough to make things to help him suvive the winter. It also showed that Brian was not afraid to try new things to help him survive!

Have you ever heard of Greek mythology? Well if not keep reading and you can find out about some of the more powerful gods, titans, and some of the different creatures. So please keep reading so you can learn all about the Greeks main beliefs!

Some of the more popular people in the Greek myths were all of the gods and goddesses. The three main gods were Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon. One of the most powerful gods was Zeus. Zeus was considered the father of all titans. When Zeus was born his father Cronus wanted to eat him and his brothers. The reason Cronus wanted to eat him because he knew he would be more powerful. His brothers were Hades, Hestia, Hera, Poseidon, and Demeter. Zeus also had many sons and daughters.
Hades deceived Zeus even though he was his brother. Hades is also the keeper of the underworld, where it is believed that all the people who died went there. To get in to the underworld you had to pay the guards at the front a gold coin. So when people died they were buried with a single gold coin under there tongue. The underworld was guarded by a three headed dog named Cerberus. Later in time Heracles captured this three headed dog from the underworld. Hades is known to have been stuck with the god of the underworld because no one else wanted it.
Poseidon was also a famous god. He was the ruler of the sea. He was also a brother of Zeus. He had a dragon that protected him. He caused many earthquakes. Another god is the Greek god Ares. He was the god of war. His symbol is a vulture and a dog. But Ares was usually with other gods when he fought in battle. Ares is also known to be very evil! I don’t think we have talked about any goddesses.
Aphrodite was the goddess of love. Many Greek gods loved her. Like Zeus and Poseidon got in a fight about her but there wives said no. She was evil and born from the foam of a sea. The last god that we are going to talk about is Hermes! Hermes was a messenger for some of his life. He was also a person who escorted people down to the underworld. Later in his life he built a little workshop on Mount Olympus. While he was in this workshop he invented the alphabet, astronomy, and scales. That is all of the gods and goddess that we are going to talk about.

Next were going to talk about the Titans. The most powerful was Cronus. Gave birth to Zeus. He wanted to eat him. But Rhea saved Zeus and took him to Krete. Cronus also caused a 10 year war. He is the father of all Titans and gave birth to every god. He ruled all of the Cosmos. He controlled most all of the Cyclopes. Next was a very strong Titan. Most of you probably already know a little bit about this Titan because he has been in a movie! Heracles was a big strong Titan. During his life he fought and killed many strong and powerful creatures. During the twelve labors he had to perform after he killed his two kids he also fought many beasts. One of these was when he went down to Hades (underworld) to capture the three headed dog Cerberus. When he got to the gates he was not dead and he did not pay any fine to get to the front gates, and somehow he still got threw and killed and brought back Cerberus.
A really cool one was Uranus. He was the Sky Titan. People say that the sky was made of brass. His wife was Gaia and they had 18 kids. One day his blood drenched the city and flooded it. Our last Titan is Hesiod. Hesiod was an oral poet. He was one of the twelve titans that there was in Greek mythology. He was a awesome writer in Greece. When he was young he also worked as a Sheppard in the mountains. During his life he lived in a small town called Ascra. Mostly during his life he was a writer.

I hoped you enjoy the Titans but now were going to do creatures. You have probably heard of a Kraken. They are very powerful sea creatures. Poseidon controlled most of them. Next we’ll do a centaur. You will know what a centaur looks like if you have seen any of the Narnia movies. They are half horse, and half man. They have the head, torso, and arms of a man, but the rest of there body is horse. In Greek history the centaurs had war with the Lapiths. The war was lost and the centaurs had to leave the area. The centaurs were known to be very wild.
A really interesting creature was a Minotaur. They have a head of a bull and the body of a man. It was born by Queen Pasiphae to stay in Krete. But then there came many more. Probably the worst and most terrifying was Cerberus. Cerberus was a three headed dog that guarded the entrance to the underworld. It was said that Cerberus has three heads, a dragon’s tail, and has snakes growing on his back. His parents were Echidna, a serpent, and Typhon, who was a fire breathing giant! A really cool creature was the Dragon. There is very many of them but the one were going to do is the Ethiopian Dragon. The Ethiopian Dragon was always sent by Posiedon. One day Poseidon sent it to go kill Queen Cassiopeia. But Peruses on his way back from killing Medusa. He saw that Poseidon was going to kill her. He stopped him and the Dragon too.
Are last creature is the famous Cyclopes. The Cyclopes was basically a man as big as a human with one eye right in the middle of there forehead. They mostly were good for causing destruction. In Greek mythology there were three main Cyclopes: Bronte’s, Argues, and Steropes. These monsters were very skilled blacksmiths! The even created Zeus’s thunderbolts! That is what some of the creatures in Greek mythology were like!

I hoped you enjoyed our Greek Mythology info. To all you authors out there maybe you’ll make this into a book. I know we are true Greek Mythology Gods when it comes to telling about this stuff. That’s all for today. Bye.

            I was 5 when my mom took me to a High school basketball game. I skipped dinner so I was hungry when I got there. But my mom forgot her purse. We stayed there for the first game. But my mom said we would have to stay there for the varsity game too. As tip off came it was 8:30 and I started getting tired so I asked if we could go home. But she said no. So I started getting tired and I lay down. But I couldn’t fall asleep because it was so loud. As the third quarter came I asked if we could go. But I was a fool to ask that because of course she said no. When the 4^th quarter came I thought we were going to win but the other team scored a buzzer beater with 3 seconds to go. So I thought we were going to be able to go. But my mom said NO! It was 9:45. So I was thinking of a plan so I could leave. Then it hit me the fire alarm. Hey you got to understand I was 5 when this happened. So after tip off I started to walk over there. I really didn’t think anything bad could happen. I could barely reach it. I would have to do it quick without getting caught. Then I had done it. I pulled the fire alarm.

            I had done it. Water started coming down and the roar of the fire alarm shattered my ear drum. A while later the police and the fire men had come with the ambulance. They were there in less then 1 minute. They were all over the place. Then my mom figured out I did it. So she had to tell the fire men I did it. I got threatened to go to jail after she had told them. My mom had to apologize to the whole crowd how I did it and how there really wasn’t a fire. But it was kind of worth it. As my mom took me home my dad wasn’t really mad as much as my mom was. But I thought it was cool that I made the front page on the newspaper.
