My School Changes for Me

If I could change one thing about my school,  I would make it so that every student got a Mac Laptop. Free of charge, of course. Other than the fact of that would be totally AWESOME, it would help with studies. Especially with Communication Arts majors and minors. Because you are working with Macs in class, you can take home programs and complete them there, as homework. It doesn't work that way when you transfer something from a Mac to a Dell. Especially when you use programs that don't exist on a Dell, like Fireworks. I'd also be helpful because we'd learn more about modern technology. Then we'd get jobs as Technical Engineers, making the technical world a better place. 

Alien attack!

If an alien visited my home, I'd be scared out of my wits. Not knowing anything of it's powers, I'd quickly run to my room on the second level and lock the door. With not a second to waste, I'd barricade it with a chair. I'd then check mt emergency food supply, which consists of Twix bars, pretzels, and 3 lollipops. Then I'd turn on my faucet, and start to collect water. There was no telling if my "visitor" knew how to shut off the water. After collecting enough water to last me a few days, I'd pull my staff out of my closet. Yes I have a staff. Then I'd get my sword (Plastic) and scarf/whip. Preparing myself for battle, I'd also try to fashion some armor out of assorted items that I find around my room. Once I thought I was ready, I'd make my way downstairs, not making any noise. If the alien left, none the worse. If it was still there, then I was probably screwed. But I'd still attempt to befriend it. If it refused, I either run or fight back. Probably the former. If it accepted, I'd just gained myself a valuable ally.

John Glen's Adventure

I think John Glen would be feeling really scared when he went into space. He had no idea of what to expect! He could've died very easily, because nobody knew anything about orbiting space. He probably saw amazing things though. Like a bird's eye- erm, I mean a star's eye view of earth. It must've been beautiful. John was probably terrified, put he had to have been very patriotic or else he would not have done this for his country. This was also a very large leap in the road of science. He must have felt proud to be accomplish this for his world. Possibly to improve his world. That must have been some sort of "power" giving him bravery. Maybe it was thinking of his family that gave him strength.

The Animal Inside

The animal that I am most like is a bird. Well, at least that's what I think. Birds are normally colorful, as am I. Hey, you should see what I wear to school. Birds also love to sing. I hear them every morning, and it sounds beautiful. I love singing too, but I don't know if I sound beautiful or not. I hope I do. Birds are also very free, and that's what I think I am. I've always dreamed of flying, which explains THAT. Birds are small in size, but great in heart, and I like to think that I'm like that too. Just think, birds can travel great distances, and see everything! They're not burdened with school and worries like that. Just free to be......free.

It's a BRAND NEW SPECIES!

"Yes," I calmly explained to the gawking scientists. "It's house trained. And it won't bite, at least not around me." I had discovered a new race of species while traveling the antarctic regions. This specimen, which I called a Dounisgha, was a small furry creature. It moved around by hoping, and, strangely enough, it could talk. More advanced than a monkey. I slowly moved towards it. "Heyyyyy little Dounisgha. Tell us your name. Come on..." The creature quivered."My...My name is Ghasnta. Who are you? Please don't hurt me!" it cried. I smiled. My life is about to get interesting.

Scene

(Scene: A bedroom. Two girls, Sasha and Else, are playing around. A fish tank is on a dresser, with two fish inside, Lola and Silver.)

SASHA: Thanks for coming over Else. I was so bored!


ELSE: No problem Sasha. So was I!

(The girls giggle)

SASHA: Let's play with my Barbies!

ELSE: Cool!

(The girls pull the Barbies out from under the bed. They begin to play with them and silently ad-lib. The lights go partially dim on the girls and come on on LOLA and SILVER'S fish tank)

LOLA: What are those, mini people? The large ones were bad enough!

SILVER: Not mini people, swamp water*, they don't move. See? What did our person call them.....dolls? dar...darbies? Darbies that must be it.

LOLA: Oh well whatever, fish-it-all**.

(SILVER glares at LOLA)

LOLA: What? Oh sorry. Well, they should be more careful with the Darbies!

SILVER: I agree. Look! Pink does NOT go with blue shoes!

(LOLA rolls her eyes)

LOLA: Not what I meant. I mean, they're holding the Darbies so roughly! It must hurt! And all those tugs and jerks....

(Both fish shake their heads.)

Stolen?

I walked down the street in Agrabah, shopping for food. My brother, Aladdin, was.....well doing whatever he does during the day. I had finally managed to make a few coins and I was STARVING! Lets see, an apple here, a bunch of grapes here.....I turned around. A commotion had started in the street. I peered over the crowd. Aladdin was running through the crowd, holding a loaf of bread. I sighed. Not again! I think. He makes eye contact with me, and his expression says it all: I'm sorry. Razoul and his guards are chasing after him, swords in hand. Run Aladdin. Run like the stars.
