Christmas Present

Author's Note: This is a piece about what I want for Christmas

My christmas list is so very nice

It doesn't have a very high price

I want video games and toys

It will fill me with different kinds of joys

A ps3 and some new shoes

If I get these gifts I know I wouldn't lose

I know Christmas is about giving

But if I don't get these gifts I wouldn't be living

Circles

Authors Note: This is a piece about where you can find the best shapes

Circles, Circles are so round

You see them all around the town

They can be big or can be small

You can see them winter summer or fall

On a sign or on poster

They can go in your toaster

Up high or down low

They can go fast or really slow

Definitely not a square

They can be smooth or have lots of hair

I love circles o so much

Everyone loves them even the Dutch

Canvas Rider Fun

   Author's Note: This is a piece about canvas rider and how you play it.

Canvas rider is an addictive game, in which you go through hoops, loops, and jumps on a mountain bike

trying to get to the small yellow ball you call the goal.  If you go through a yellow arrow it will give you a boost in the direction it’s pointing in.  Also, if you go over a green arrow it will modify the gravity sending you wherever the arrow is pointing.   All in all, canvas rider is a very amusing and enjoyable game; I think anyone who likes quick racing games should play this game.

Ice Fishing

Author's Note: This is a piece about how I feel about ice fishing.

Ice fishing is an addictive yet very stupid sport.  Even t hough I've never went I know it can make people go crazy waiting for hours just to catch one tiny fish.  But if you manage to have the perfect weather condition and stay out for a long enough time maybe, just maybe, you could catch the huge Muskie of your dreams.

All kinds of cookies to choose from

Having Fun

Authors Note: This piece is about how reading this book will help you have fun.

A non stop action book with astounding rockets, huge thrill rides and Lamborghini's; it will keep you on the edge of your seat making you want to read more.  “Cosmic”, by Frank Boyce teaches readers to let go of life and have a good time.

You need to just let go sometimes and relieve all your stress like the time in the book Liam took a brand new Lamborghini around the streets of London even though he was only 14.  He didn’t care he was underage, he just wanted to have fun.  Another part is when Liam wants to ride the Cosmic amusement park ride all day. He didn’t care he missed his bus going back to school, he just wanted to have a good time going on the 4G thrill ride.

Even though, letting go and having fun relieves stress it also helps you make friends.  Just like when Liam won the contest and got to go to China with other dads.  They all were friends right when they met even though they were all from different countries.  It's also just like the time I went on a cruise ship and met lots of new friends.

While making friends is a good way to have fun, you also can see the world.  In the book, Liam and Florida get to go all the way to China because they wanted to have fun and go to an amusement park.  In addition, I went to the Wisconsin Dells because of a basketball tournament.  You can go anywhere if you want to have fun.

If you want to know how to have fun and let go “,Cosmic,” by Frank Boyle, can teach readers how.  When you go on your next vacation, make sure you have fun.

Patriots Pen Essay

Authors Note: This is a piece about why I am so proud of our country.

 Am I proud of my country?  Well, yes. I’m very proud of my country, think of all the things we’ve accomplished. Our country has won wars, has great achievements, and has the best government.  I am so proud of my country.

 First off, we won the Revolutionary War that practically started our country. Outnumbered and with less firepower, we still prevailed. Second, we won World War One and World War Two. Both were two of the biggest wars ever.  Lastly, we won the Vietnam War that went on for nearly twenty years.  I am so proud of everything our country has done.

Even though winning all those wars is something to be very proud of but without the troops who fought in it we wouldn’t have won anything.  Being a soldier is very difficult and requires lots of training.  Then, you have to risk your life on the battlefield.  Also, I am proud of all of the families whose siblings or parents fought in the war. It is very hard for them, too, not knowing how their family is doing or what they are doing.

Although, having all those soldiers is something to be very proud of, there are a lot of other things to be proud of like the peoples safety.   The USA has had the best motor-vehicle safety from 1990 to now on cars and motorcycles.  Also, the USA has the safest workplaces in the world which means people who work in factories don’t get ill as much as other countries people.  Plus, the USA has the healthiest moms and babies because of enhanced hygiene, nutrition, antibiotics, and tools from 1990 to 2000. 

In addition to all of those things the USA has a democracy government which means we can all live free.  If we lived almost anywhere else in the world we couldn’t do nearly as many things as we could today in the USA.  The citizens of the USA have the power of speech, we can go anywhere and we do almost anything.  The government we have today lets us choose who our leaders are.

There are all these great things our country has done.  Everything our country has done, I am so proud of.

Saving The Red Eyed Tree Frog

Authors Note: This is a piece about what would happen if the tree frogs died. 

The red-eyed tree frog also called the red-eyed leaf frog is a very cool amphibian.  But there habitat is being taken down by deforestation.  Tree frogs are not in danger of extinction but if they have no habitat they will become extinct.  Tree frogs need our help to save them and their environment.

Without tree frogs many insects will be everywhere in the rain forest and around South America.  So many bugs will get so annoying always buzzing around everywhere and biting you.  If that happened many people would leave South America. If tree frogs stayed here all those tiny pests would leave.  That is just one reason of many

Also, if tree frogs were gone the forests will just be boring.  All of those bright colors jumping around wouldn’t be there.  So not as many tourists would come and less money for the travel agencies and hotels around the rainforests.  Plus, scientist would’ve wasted money studying the frogs.

A few more cool facts about tree frogs are that they have mini suction cups on their hands so they can stick to trees and other plants better.  Also, did you know fish, dragon flies and water beetles are part of the tree frog family?  Plus, the frog’s inner thighs are a bluish color.  Finally, some predators of the tree frog are birds, bats, spiders, and snakes.

 It would be terrible if we lost all the tree frogs.  Everyone should help stop deforestation so we can save the red eyed tree frogs.  We really need to help the frogs.
