Charles-100-200 Word Story

 Lane-100 Word Short Story 

Flash

It was a dark and gloomy night for some for others it was the night of their lives. It all depended on where you came from the Moon or Mars. Today would be the day we colonized earth. If you came from Mars this would be the greatest day because you would be first in line to go to this new place and be able to call it home. If you came from the Moon then today would be humiliating for you. Your entire life you have been told and proven that you will always be better than the people that live on Mars.
A group of Moon rebels decide that if they can't go to earth first then nobody is going to earth. They know that the shuttle is launching in 5 days. On the fourth day they make the plans because they procrastinated. They had to ideas destroy earth or destroy the shuttle. They decided that they were going to destroy the shuttle. They replaced the fuel with cheese and when the shuttle got into space it exploded.

Reading Response

     The book I'm currently reading is a book called The Gunslinger by Stephen King. In terms of where it is located on the plot map I'd say I'm in the begging considering I just started this book. However I already have a liking for this book not only because I like the way that Stephen King writes but just the general idea of the book. It doesn't even depend on if it is showing you some action that is going to be solved or not.
     I have high hopes that this book will not only provide a good story but have a very crisp and clear plot. If it has all of these and a good story than it will be for sure a page turner. I cannot wait to get to the rising action because I want to see what the main piece of action will be. There are currently so many different things that might become the main action that I get lost in the thought of trying to figure out what it might be.

Dear 12 year old

      Dear 12 year old dwell on the good and not the bad it only gets better. Don't worry about the bad things just put them behind you and keep going. Let those bad things be reminders of what to do. Don't be afraid to go and do something risk take the gamble do something that could result in a bad thing. Its easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
      Last piece of advice is to focus on the things that matter family and school. It's good to have a social life but not social over academic. Don't get caught up in bad stuff focus on school. Always try and hang out with your siblings just don't talk you'll learn a lot.

Ethics

   I am currently reading a book about Ethics and what it takes to make something ethical and how what we think ethics is from what it actually is. I really like how the author also explained the different views on ethics from different cultural standpoints. For instance the author shows how ethics are seen with the story of Abraham being told to sacrifice his son. This contradicts the idea that god is love.
   The author makes it clear and easy to read but still manages to go into great detail. I'm personally not very familiar with this author but I can appreciate the use of the examples. If you have any interest in ethics I would most definitely recommending reading this book. It will take time but it allows you to start seeing things through a whole new set of eyes.

9/11

    On September 11th between the times of 8:14 AM through 10:28 AM a country was made stronger; made them realize that actions need to be taken for these actions. One of my favorite quotes from an anonymous speaker "We were just kids when 9/11 happened we are kids no more and we won't rest until justice has been served." I was just a kid when I found out about 9/11 now here I am 15 years later reading articles about something that I could describe so thoroughly. There was a total of 4 planes hijacked 2 crashed into the twin towers, one into the pentagon, and one into a field. 

   When I was 5 my parents told me about 9/11 after I watched a documentary on it and boy were they angry. Aside from the fact that they wanted to tell me this on their own time they also didn't want it to mess with me. I wouldn't say that it messed me up more like it formed me. Ever since I can remember I've always wanted to server in the military preferably joining the USMC. I suppose I have this historic attack on America to really solidify my mind on what it is I wanted to do.

Never go to Walmart at 11

I went to Walmart to go get my composition notebook and over the 3 minutes of which I was there I saw 3 people get kicked out and 1 person throw a tantrum. When I walked into the store this woman was screaming at the cashier that an item she was trying to buy was on sale. The cashier was telling her that the sale ended yesterday but the woman wanted that 25% off. I payed it no mind and continued to go into the store to get my notebook. I'm walking to the isle to get my notebook when all of the sudden these guys just charge around the corner all playing tag. Of course they're getting yelled at to stop by the staff. Once they stopped they didn't seem to think that they were doing anything wrong. So the staff had to point out to them that running around a store playing childish games wasn't appropriate. So I went check out and left. Never go to Walmart after 9.

Rangers Apprentice

        What I liked most about the Ranger's Apprentice was the amount of work to make the book feel real. The book takes things that happened in Medieval Times and finds ways to make them fit into the book. For instance the high castle walls to keep the evil ones out. The image I see when I think of a castle is high walls and towers.
        Something I didn't like about the book was the lack of action where I personally felt it needed to be. For instance when Will is training to be a ranger he gets into a fight only for the Ranger to come break it up for him. I personally felt that it would of been a nice time for a little bit of action in the book. I personally feel that the book could be brought up from a seven out of ten to a eight out of ten if it wouldn't of missed out on opportunities for action.
