Alberta Summer Games

What inspires us?That is a very good question what really inspires us? I was inspired to play basketball and to try my best. Something else inspired me,it was leadership for the zone 7 team even in our horrible and the best times. What inspired me the most is how we all came together like we’ve played for years together in just one month and my friendship with the players(team).I believe that there is one more human condition in my post What makes us unique? All of us were unique but as a team we had to pull together. We couldn’t all pretend we were superstars.As in the NBA this year the Miami Heat will not succeed because they have three superstars that love to hog the ball(Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, Lebron James). Most of our unique abilities were good but we had to bond together except for two players refused.

Zone 7 bball team!!!Two days before the games i was so exited to even think about playing.The next day we were on our way to Peace River but we decided to stay at Slave Lake.The day finally came i was going to register for the summer games. My team was registered to stay at Good Shepard School. When i arrived two of my teammates Kris Trach(Santiogo) and Zac Smith (Carlos) were there so they polity got me a mat to sleep on.The moment i stepped in the room i wanted to see the gym. Unfortunately it was a elementary school so they had the sickest nets.The nets were six-feet tall. So i went back to the room  to chill and there was a smart board in our room. I brought my PS3 so we hooked it up to the smart board and played some NBA2K10. Once the whole team arrived we started to play modern warfare 2. I created the teams and of course my partner Kristian Heartt(Penetrator)and Kristian and I won. When we were playing the Edmonton team wanted to see what we were doing. When they saw one guy’s reaction was “Omg its Cod!!!” Eventually we played them on the floor and on COD. We were getting ready for bed and Austin Ozaruk(Waffles)actually sleeps with a basketball. Six in the morning most of us got up to take showers and to eat. There was only one kitchen type place and our school was near it. The coolest thing about it was that every team would show up and we would fit into a jam-packed hockey arena. Once we finished eating we headed for the shuttle to take us to Peace High to verse zone 2(big country). I was so nervous getting ready to play then my coach came over to me and told me to relax and its just a game win or lose. The game was about to start and we got the starting line ups(PG:Brett Jukabec(lola) SG:Wilson Quon SF:Me(Cowganster) PF:Zac Smith C:Riley Morrel(The Beast)). Once we started they destoyed us and eventually one of our back up point guards had to get injured. So coach put me in and i got about 10 points just bringing up the ball and driving. I may have had a great game with 14 points but uor team suffered a bad loss to a team we should have beat. The same day we had to play zone 8(Peace River) in an hour. Throughout the hour the coach was explaining to everyone that we are a team that we must act as a team or we wont win.So we start the second game and i dont start Austin Ozaruk starts for me. Coach got mad at him 30 seconds into the game and i was put on. Got our first 3 points but missed 11 freethrows in the first quarter.

The second quarter they got so much momentum they blew us away we got 2 points in the whole quarter.For my hard work playing the half(exept 30 seconds) killed me.I was so tired i could barely walk or hear anything. In the second half we did our shut down defense and did damage to them but already blew us away from a win. Our coach was so dissapointed in us 0-2 and going against one of the hardest teams Edmonton.

NOT DONE!!!!!!

The sea devil- Language

One day while the man was taking a rejuvenating nap. Nathen broke into the mans house using a lock pick on the door. The man then jumped insanely quick off his bed and started fighting Nathen in the living room, a vicious Nathen then took a blow to the face and fell back on the floor with a nose bleed. Nathen immediately jumped on the love seat trying to avoid the man and he knocked over the computer in the process of running.Then nathen ran out the door into the Bathroom. and in a frenzy the man’s dog fell off the table chair where he was sleeping peacefully there. Nathen then knocked a glass of Oil off the coffee table and jumped over the dog in the process. The glass of oil that was spilled dripped on the dog. After 10 minutes of chasing the Nathen through the house I finally caught caught him and with all my force I threw him outside. Then Nathen quickly climbed the nearest fence and ran into a neighbors yard. The mans dog then got off the floor then bursted out the door and started chasing nathen. The man then called the police and nathen got away.

Eva Olsson

Eva came to us to tell us the pain and suffering that she had to endure through the holocaust. She uses her life experiences, primarily in the Holocaust to illustrate the power of hate and the importance of standing up against forces of racism.In Eva’s life she should have many reasons to hate the Germans. She chooses not to thou. She hasn’t forgiven them but she doesn’t hate. She chooses not to like. After all the German’s have done to her and the Jewish society. She really shows that if she really hated them she would’ve talked about it but in reality hate doesn’t do much to help her. She must forgive eventually and she has forgiven the nazi’s and what they did.

Just like Eva, small really didn’t hate the Germans. It wasn’t his fight to fight and he didn’t hate them but respected them. Eva kind of tied in with small and how she really didn’t know what was going on and why. Most Jewish people didn’t know why they were targeted and most of them were workers in the society that really fit in with the Germans but Hitler changed that idea in the society, that the jews were less than humans. I cant say if Eva respected the German’s because they had dominance over them or if she just didn’t really care about them. Small really enjoyed Bruno’s time spent with each other. Even though he knew that he was German he had no hate towards bruno because they were friends. The movie the boy in the striped pajamas isn’t much of the same as Eva’s life but it shows on how the small becomes friends with Bruno. Not so much of all the bad things that a concentration camp did or does to the Jews. Eva was in a slave camp but they were similar to what she could have experienced. Even that we all know The Boy In The Striped Pajamas wasn’t real but Eva could watch the movie and tie in her experiences with the events in the movie. Her life is the opposite of the movie but is very similar to Small but she was in a different kind of camp in her life than in the movie. She wasn’t in a internment camp like Small.

What is right? What is admirable? What is not-so-admirable? Does everyone agree?  The whole process of the German’s tactics in the war wasn’t the greatest because of all the life’s that were affected especially the Jewish race. The stories of the families likes Evas’ is very admirable in how they survived the war and escaped death from the Germans. All the deaths and racism within the war was the least admirable thing within the war. Everyone agrees with the notion of that the war was a bad process in the world even the Germans of today.

 

There are many stories on the holocaust that we see but there is many stories that we could actually believe that is the truth and not a story. Actual facts on how the concentration camps were and how they seized the Jews to the camps. Eva’s story was real and very vivid of how she told to us the listeners. There aren’t very many people in the world that would tell their story of their suffering. Eva does this with confidence and enjoys telling us. Her story was inspirational and I would love to hear it again.

Vicious Tyrant

iblog.stjschool.org/snowflake/2012/02/02/vicious-tyrant

Would assassination or civil war ever be a justifiable response to rule by tyranny? What would you do if the leader of your country became a vicious tyrant? Respond with a short story or narrative essay.

 

Hello students today in class we will learn about the history of our town. How a tyranny leader was in control of Macbethville and how his rule was ended by a civil war started by the citizens. Now class i will read you the history of Macbethville

 

In a little small town Macbethville in 1895 there was a political system that was very different than we have today. There was one leader in the town, he controlled everything in the town. The citizens were very scared of him and his name could not be said without punishment. The only time we could say his true name was on a sunny day. There was this young man that spoke in public about how we should refuse our leader and react and banish him. August 14th was the first day the citizens finally listened. Kirk lawrence held a small meeting with rebels against their political leader. Kirk went on what should we do start a rebellion or just murder. The group discussed murder first. The main point of murder would be that once he would die another tyrant would just step up. They had to start a civil war to force tyranny out of their culture. There was one big problem getting the people against their leader.

 

On a ordinary day kirk went to talk to the people about rebelling against the political system. Kirks first words were ” We must rebel against Sunny Summer” the crowd was in awe about what kirk just did. He spoke their leaders name when it wasn’t sunny. Later that day sunny put a reward for kirk to be captured. The citizens realized how sonny’s rules are so idiotic. They started uprising to their leader. Sunny would take nothing from the lesser ranks so sent his militia to stop the uprising. Kirk has started the civil war and got exactly what he wanted. In years and years of fighting the victor was not yet determined. kirk finally escaped 3 years after his action started the civil war. Once kirk was in power, sunny didn’t want to fight anymore so gave up the government. kirk introduced democracy and the town of macbethville was in peace from tyranny.

 

Class that was the history of how we demonstrate democracy now. Class what would you do if the leader of your country became a vicious tyrant? I would rebel just like in the story, I would not stand back and let them control me. Now class the assignment im giving u is what u think your personal opinion on what would you do if the leader of your country became a vicious tyrant?

The Review Of The Proposal

Who is responsible for our lot in life? In the play the proposal who is responsible for Natalya’s life. Her father doesn’t really control her but when she wants something her father hurries to her command. In their relationship in the play the father does everything she wants as long as she is happy with his decisions. He allows Ivan to propose to her. It seems that was the only decision the she seemed happy was the idea of them marrying. It seems that since his wife left his daughter runs the house with decorations and cooking. Natalya and Chubukov share a patronymic within their family.

The intense desire of seeing these plays really got to me when I read the scripts. Just listening to Beni, Marina, Callum say the speech to all of us made me enjoy it. The anticipation on the friday of the play really got to me and I got exited when we got to the college. The music entering the theatre topped everything off. My excitement exploded. When the play started it seemed like very old humor but still great. Riley Gilroyed playing as IVAN VASSILEVITCH LOMOV was very good and played his part well. He wasn’t the most experienced actor but the part fit him well. When his heart started throbbing he played with well but it seemed like some parts it didn’t affect his character but then through a couple of lines his heart hurts again. Karlie Christie really well bonded with her character  through strong will, happy disposition, and independent nature.

 NATALYA STEPANOVNA: To propose to me? Ah! [Falls into an easy-chair and wails] Bring him back! Back! Ah! Bring him here.

This line in the play really sold me. She sold that right after a fight she instantly fell in love with Lomov. She yelled with the desire to make us believe she really wanted to marry him. When he came back into her house she had the sparkle in her eye waiting for him to ask her hand in marriage. Even when he started arguing about the Oxen Meadows. She still seemed mad at him but she let it go for the desire for him.

NATALYA STEPANOVNA: Overshot, is he? The first time I hear it!

This is where she changed her emotion from waiting for him to propose to arguing again and the way she changed her emotion during the play was brilliant of how she did it. Jeremy played as CHUBUKOV. As the most talented actor he was blessed and amazing at playing the part of a character such as Chubukov. Chubukov only wanted the best for his family and when his daughter wanted Ivan out of his house he listened. But when his daughter heard about the proposal she wanted Chubukov to get back what she really wanted.

CHUBUKOV: And suppose he is? What does it matter? He’s the best dog in the district for all that, and so on.

Even when he knew his daughter wanted marriage he tried to agree with Ivan on his dog but yet he agreed on his dog being the best. He tried to agree because of his daughters dying love for Ivan. Trying to not make him mad but they couldn’t agree to disagree.

CHUBUKOV: Don’t excite yourself, my precious one. … Allow me. … Your Guess certainly has his good points. … He’s pure-bred, firm on his feet, has well-sprung ribs, and all that. But, my dear man, if you want to know the truth, that dog has two defects: he’s old and he’s short in the muzzle.

Chubukov tried to give Ivan’s dog compliments but also compared to his dog. He tried saying it truthfully and as nicely as he could possible can. Trying not to make him mad he added the two defects at the end after all the compliments that he gave Guess. He is agreeing the Guess is the best dog in the district but not so much anymore. He used to be the best and now Chubukov believes that his dog now is the best.

With Jeremy’s acting skills really made this play go over the top. If this play was a one man play Jeremy could play all three parts because he has the skills to do that. You could see that he enjoyed playing his part and really lead this cast with positive energy.

This play was very good and the actors made it great. The play was very well written and I enjoyed watching it. I feel with all better actors it wouldn’t really be much better. Amateur actors help complete a play. If they were showing this play in Lloyd or Vermilion again I would go see it.

What do you want most from life? What are you prepared to do to attain it?

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life-Charles Darwin

There is many ambitions that I want in life and people throughout the world may have a better destination that is more entertaining than I but I just want simple objectives in life. I may not the a very religious person or have much money. Over the years I have changed my aspect of what I want most out of life. I may want something different in life ten years down the road. For now my goals in life are different now.

In my grade 7 year I feel as if the most I want to get out of life is to succeed in what I do after college. Now that I have gotten older and achieved more maturity. The goals that I had in the past were very simple goals to what I have now. I want to embrace life to its fullest and fulfill many goals that I have. The main goal for me in life now is to have a successful job and to be happy. It is truly impossible for many people to be happy with their life completely. Id rather have success and happiness with my life rather than have money and hate my boss.

A family would be superior to all achievements in life. Most people in the world would be fulfilled with all the money that they could achieve and buy entirety. When most people attain a lot amount of money they aren’t prepared to spend it. Most people pay of the bills and still wouldn’t be prepared to do with the rest of the money. A family is the greatest accomplishment in my mind but my maturity would be the problem.

How mature I would be after high school will determine if I’d be prepared for kids or even a wife. If my maturity wouldn’t be at that level it would be impossible to be the greatest and most important accomplishment would be less enjoyable because it would be hard to take care of a family if your daughter/son is more mature than you are. You also wouldn’t be a father figure you would be more like a cool friend if your maturity hasn’t hit the peak.

I have many needs in my life but I only have some goals that I would lover to achieve in my long full life. If I complete one of my goals I will be truly happy but my life wont be complete if I don’t succeed in all my goals. I want to be also prepared for these goals and not surprised and not mature when they come.

Notes

Treasury-British control the treasury but Michael knows the place inside out.he served multiple terms as head of government and head of state, and is credited with a leading role in the authorship of the present-day Ireland-Eamon de Valera

            He cycled around Dublin...
            in his pin-striped suit with £10,000 on his head.
            "Why hide, Joe", he'd say...
He doesn't care about his outlaw title because they like him except for british.
            But he never did what anyone expected.
            He got the British out of here, and no one expected that.
            Some people are what the times demand...
If someone excepted something from him he did the opposite.

Joe Dolan—a member of Collins' "Squad" or assassination unit
700 years british ruled over Ireland
British empire stretched over two-thirds of the world
Ireland=colony
Ireland resisted britain rule over the 700 year period

Michael Collins was talked about his death at the beginning
Michael is in the parliament building defending it
Michael and his republican's fail to defend the parliament building
"The game's over, Harry Boland" Michael had lost again and sent to jail

If they speak up they die, if they don't they live another day
They make their own rules
Eamon was born in american
            "The Irish Republic...
            "is a dream...
            "no longer".

            "is...

            "We defeat...
            "the British Empire...
            "by...
            "ignoring it".
2 Years later
              So, what did you have for breakfast?
              A traffic jam, lads. If you backed up, we could back up...
              and you could chase us some more.
              we have a weapon more powerful...
              than any in the whole arsenal of the British Empire!
              That weapon...
              is our refusal!
While Micheal is talking the army comes

Our uniform will be that of the man on the street, the peasant in the field.

Michael meets the g-man and he gives him the whole names and addresses of the whoole cabinet
              I'm minister for gunrunning, daylight robbery and general mayhem.
              Until we're armed, nothing's going to happen.
Only Michael and Harry are the only two ministers left and are still trying to hide

G-man's name is Mr. Broy

There both playing the same game. Britain arrested the irish cabinet so they will get the british cabinet. The G-man can't get the files out so they are gonna get Michael in
May 17th 2011 a queen finally met with ireland
U2-irish band we can talk about (Sunday Bloody Sunday)
A random Irish man gets beat up because the Irish/britians get threatened
Michael gets assassins to kill the G men that haven't left the castle
The first assassin hides throughout the crowd and pops out and kills a gman
He gets out of the jail when he molds the key into the candle
Eamon mailed the molded key/candle to Micheal
They take the trip to the jail to get the ministers out
              Not for their race or their brutality.
              I hate them for leaving us no way out.
              I hate whoever put a gun in Vinny's hand.
              I know it's me and I hate myself for it.
              I hate them for making hate necessary.
They dressed eamon as a british prostitute
The British know where they are again, so they run

Eamon wants to leave to the states and he will but he wants harry Bolland
Decision of Michael to hide that is very weird. He trusts kids to tell them when british are coming

The Gman leader sent a Gman to follow Mr Broy

Broy got caught and probably will tell everything

They are getting scared to kill the Gman now

They lost 80 men with Eamon's idea

Michael lied to Eamon they can't last 3 weeks

They have won the war the British truce

Michael is forced to go to London but Michael is a murderer

Kitty is in love with Michael

the freestaters is to the south and the north is still under British rule today

harry is mad but not about Kitty

They are all mad about the deal Michael made

Harry's heart is broken

Eamon speach is about how Irish people made this choice

Eamon and his deputies are leaving the government because of the treaty

AS the country prepare for the treaty Eamon takes over the castle

There taking down the british flag in front of the parliament building

Eamon made the declaration

People are throwing cabbages at michael now

Kitty defended michael with her little pistol

Michael asked Kitty to marry him and she said yes

The treaty is carried by popular vote and Eamon and his followers accepted it

IRA- the new Irish republican army are searching for somebody

WE become what we most hate

just like collins became in government and he hated them

Collins doesn't want a civil war

Harry protects collins when someone tries to assassinate him

They are at war

Collins used the british army in the civil war

Harry ran and got away from the men

Harry has to live in a sewer to live and has been shot once

Collins is sad Harry is dead

Michael won't get out alive

Joe would die with Michael

He has accepted his fate

The assassin is in the bar where they drink at

Eamon forgives collins because Harry's death

Kitty is buying a wedding dress when Collins meets Eamon

Collins was killed by the little boy

WE didn't find the name of the boy that killed him

Thats why he died he knew the risk he went there

but he thought it was worth taking and he took it for the country

             "Get off the parliamentary side of your arse and get some color on your face".
              He would have said it better, Joe.
              "No regrets, Kit". That's what he'd say.
The movies over
He died when he was 31
Half a million people attended his funeral british and irish
In his brief lifetime he fought the britain government to a stalemate negotiated the first treaty for Ireland
He died in an attempt to remove the gun from Irish politics
Eamon was proud of Collins but then why would he kill him?

Stains- Police officers emails Mom about Son’s acciddent

Dear Boy’s mother,

Tonight your son has gotten into an accident he was drinking and one of his buddies dared him to drive home. Your son was forced into peer pressure and he got into the car. At first he backed up into a garage then got onto the road. He was driving through a construction area that was fixing the road.Stain on a shirt He drove onto the road they were working on and the road was a little bumpy so he pulled into the opposite lane and then an oncoming car was driving the right way on the road. Your son had the high beams in his car on and it blinded the other driver forcing him to swerve. Your son hit him head on and killed three people in the car. The weird thing here at the police station was that how could a human continue driving when he just hit someone. He kept going and returned back onto the proper right of way. About 4 blocks from your house he got pulled over by me. I went up to the window and I instantly knew that he was drunk but since I had to be a good police officer I still had to give him the test. I personally was surprised that he could walk in a straight line. Then I tried to ask him the ABCs backwards and he did it so fast that I couldn’t do it if I were sober. There was a car that wasn’t slowing down and I had him on the ground. This car wasn’t stopping and ran over your son he died instantly. I later caught that man in the ditch alive, but he was so drunk. He was charged with 1st degree murder. I am telling you this because I believe you deserve to know what happened to you son that night. Also how he died, I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully you learn from your sons mistakes and live your live to the fullest and never drink and drive.

From Police Officer Twixx bananahamick

Stains Poem

One lonely night

I dreamed of my son flying a kite

He was so little

Now he is so brittle

Every weekend when I see him drink

I just wish he would think

Before he went out again I wish

That he’d eat supper and take the last fish

When he comes home

He always breaks something on the lawn, like a gnome

When he bring his stained shirt to me

His best friend tried to flirt with me

I knew he was drunk and told him to leave

Once they left I went downstairs to was his shirt

I put it in and the heard the door

So I dropped everything on the floor

When I opened the door there was the police with bad news

Your son got into an acident, he was drinking too much booze

I closed the door and went to sit

And something bit me once I sat down

It was a very weird fluffy animal

I remembered it was my sons dog, Buffy.

I hugged buffey and we cried together

I would never forget him forever.

Stains-Sharon MacFarlane short story after math

When the police officers got to the door I cried so much. I went down stairs got the shirt with a stain on it. For hours I cried with the shirt in my hands his favorite shirt and no longer it is. I would decide to keep this shirt forever. Sitting there I thought how it happened. My little boy i wished it wasn’t a stupid decision that he chose to do. I wondered if he was drunk and got pulled into peer pressure. Finally I got to sleep. While I asleep i was dreaming about all the great times I had with my son. The first thing that game to my mind was when he first rode his bike without being helped by me. The first time he brought a 100 percent on his math test. When he went the DMV he failed so many times but that one time he passed I never seen so ecstatic and when I let him drive by himself, he was so proud.

Then all the bad thing were things were coming to my mind. The first time he got suspended from school. He tried to cheat on a test. She instantly woke up and went to make coffee. While making coffee the phone rang. It was my mother she heard about the news and I she couldn’t handle that her beautiful grandson was gone. When she hung up I called all my relatives and told them the bad news. I thought that I should go to work but I don’t think I’ll survive. I took the shirt and went to my car to start it up. I went back into the kitchen, put my coffee into a thermos. I went back to the car got in put the shirt on the seat beside me.

I pulled out of the driveway. Pulled out onto the main drag and there was a 4 way stop so I stopped for 2 seconds. I realized this car was approaching the stop sign on the left of me fairly fast so i went hoping he would stop. He hit me directly and my legs were crushed. I was bleeding to death I grabbed my sons shirt the stain still on there is was so pretty.

She died from a drunk driver her son’s best friend. Everyone that went to that party drove home that night. Her sons best friend was still drunk and now will have to pay the time for killing her.

What became of Uncle Axel?

I woke up one early morning, all I could smell was the glorious smell of the sea. I went to the deck to see if we found anything interesting at night-time. I went and asked Frank ” Find anything interesting throughout the night?” Frank just nodded, I forgot that he got captured the last time we went out to sea. They were a vile group of people, I’ve never seen anything like them. To move up in the ranks of society they actually had to kidnap people and kill them. Frank has never talked since we’ve left the island. Frank forced me to come with him because his son got captured by the same group of deviled and deviant people, if we can call them that. Frank, Bill and I are the only ones that are brave enough to come back to that corrupted island.Frank’s daughter Saphira went after him on our first adventure. When Saphira heard that her dad was captured she went on a voyage to save him. The voyage was very unsuccessful when the crew was captured, or we think they were? So were hopefully going to save Frank’s daughter. I would guess that if saphira never came after him, he would retire from sailing. When we find saphira i hope Frank will go back into his old self. He is completely a different person since our last trip to this island. Bill find the island on our map, it was called Island of the Savages. I knew that wasn’t the real name, just the one a previous sailor gave it. We knew we had to create an idea of how to approach the island without being seen. Bill decided we would take a boat after the sun goes down and investigate the island before sunrise. Frank spotted the island with exitment he yelled” There ,over there the Island of the Savages!” Bill and I were confused we didn’t know that it was frank that yelled until he came down from the watch.

I was so excited for Frank he finally got over the bad dreams from the island and maned up. We knew he was ready for this journey, he won’t give up until he gets his daughter back. Once it was nighttime we got onto a row boat and went to the island. On the way to the island, Frank told us that if they capture us he would  kill himself and that we must save his daughter. They new we were coming they started attacking when we were a couple miles away. We saw this big bird, but yet didn’t fly like a bird. It landed on the island. While watching the bird we were surrounded  by boats. Frank pulled out a knife. Bill and I expected him to throw it at one of the boats. Yet, he didn’t. We saw the knife come up to his throat then he killed himself. Since we were mourning his death we were jumped by one of the crew. They tied us up but the good thing was that we could still hear them talking. They had a similar language but some words were pronounced differently. Everything was also opposite, yes means no and vise versa. All that i could really get was that they were going to kill one of us then send the other one back.

While they were talking I tried to untie myself and it was successful. I waited until we got closer to land to run away. I knew it wouldn’t help but i must try. The boat drew nearer to shore and i jumped out of the boat and swimed  as fast as a could. I was unsuccessful. They captured him and tortured him. The moment he jumped off the boat they chose me to go away rather than die. I was sorry for Bill because I know his fate. He doesn’t deserve to die and the worse part that he wife just had a baby.

When i saw them kill Bill they came towards me with a knife and the minion took my right shoe off. There leader (or i thought it was there leader) came up to me and griped my leg pulled the knife over and cut my leg off. He told his minion that ” He can’t run away now and if he does cut the other one off.” Once they left another one came in I tried to speak to him but there was no reply. He ran at me with a rag and some sort of bat. He hit me. When I woke up, I thought it all was a dream. I had both of my feet in front of me and my shoes were on again. The only problem was that i couldn’t feel my right leg. I went and pulled my pant sleeve up and it was wooden. I cried and got up. There was another problem because it felt like I forgot to walk. I could only walk with a hobble. Another man walked in this time he was wearing fancy robes. He told the guards ” This man is perfect take him airship!” They put a bag onto my head and dragged me out of this dirty room. When we got outside it was really windy. They took the bag off, of my head and I saw this huge bird like machine.It had wings but they didn’t move it was all white. It looked like it has webs all over the bird like machine.  They asked me if it was beautiful? I nodded to their easy question. They threated me to not tell anyone about my experience on this island. I asked them” What am I supposed to say about my leg?” ” Nothing happened to your leg? You just have a major limp.” I wondered if the guards knew that my leg was cut off but that didn’t matter. When I get home or if I do my excuse was that I got into a fight and screwed my leg up in the process. I asked the guards ” Do you know anyone named Saphira around here?” The guard nodded but told me “that she was gone she was sent to the New World.” One day I will try to find the New World. They put me into a seat on the ship.

The people were talking about where they were from and the distance that I live from him. They spoke of a strange land called Zealand. I’ve never heard of the letter Z and the pronunciation sounded really weird. When they spoke of the corrupted world that I came from it sounded like the Devil was the ruler. Waknuk sounded like the Devil itself was born there. They spoke of Jeosph preaching about God but it was all a lie. I didn’t believe them at all. They spoke of Zealand, how there was millions of flowers always around. Every building there was made out of glass. There was one building the was the size of the sky, they spoke about how no one has reached the top. There was no stairs just an elevator. The one man told the next part in a creepy voice” Whoever goes up the elevator never come back. No one wants to go up there because they are scared. The gaurds eventually told me that if I can go up the tower and come back they will bring me back to Waknuk.

A few hours later they pulled me off my chair. Took me down the hallway. I noticed walking down the hallway there was piles and piles of cheetos. There was bags and bags of them I’ve never seen that many in my life. When we got off the ship, there it was the tower. They described it so well that it felt I already saw this in my life before. They took me to the gate. The gate was rusty and smelled like rain. They opened the door it creaked like an old building from my childhood. I started limping up the glass stairs. I could see the whole world. Islands to the east, mountains to the west and nothing to the north and south. Suddenly fog appeared and I reached the top! I don’t know what happened but I suddenly fainted.

When I woke up I was back in my old bed. I didn’t believe what my eyes were showing me. I rushed to the window and there it was Waknuk before my eyes. The thing that I could believe, that is was just a dream. I realized the problem with my leg, so I pulled up my sleeve and there is was my wooden leg. The only reason I come up with is that was all a dream. The only evidence  I had was my leg. It could have happened another way its just I don’t remember. I’m happy that I’m back in Waknuk. When the investigator came to check if my leg was perfect i will tell him that it is a boat accident.
