Halloween Is Full Of Scares and Stories.

Halloween Scares.

One night on a scary Halloween, Peter and Steve were going trick-or-treating and they noticed something in the horizon. It was a ghostly figure, someone or more like something that was standing there, just almost trying to act invisible. The streets were empty and so Peter and Josh went up to the ghost-like figure trying to act all tough and cool. Then when they got a little closer, the figure turned out to be someone dressed up in a gray blanket with a clown mask. Peter and Steve called it "the blanket man".

The blanket man chased the two young fellows. The two boys frantically ran down the next street into an abandoned house that was shut down a few years back because the owners’ mystery died. Peter and Steve were in such a hurry that they forgot the fact of this haunted mansion, so they rushed through a side window and ran through the kitchen hiding in the fireplace. Then in a sudden second, they heard a creek in the floors from the main room and then dramatically after felt a burning sensation. The fireplace was remarkable turned on from out of nowhere. They started to burn quickly, so they ran out from the fireplace and up the stairs when they spotted the blanket man.

They hid in a bedroom that was filled with gory pictures of dead people. The kids were disgusted and ran out of the room screaming at the top of their lungs. The blanket man heard them and rushed near them. The blanket man ran so fast that you would think he was teleported to where they were.

Peter and Steve ran into the master bathroom and Steve hid in the bath tub while Peter started to make a rope from the towels in the cupboard. Peter and Steve managed to escape through the bathroom window. While doing so, the blanket man waited in the bushes for Peter and Steve to jump off the towel rope from the bathroom window.

The boys ran and ran as fast as they could, then out of the blue, about a dozen more “blanket men” started to run after Peter and Steve. No one was to be seen except for the blanket men, Peter, and Steve. It almost seemed like the town was completely abandoned.

Peter and Steve then ran and ran. Then took a quick stop at the corner. They paused and listened, nothing was to be heard. They looked around, nothing was to be seen. A sudden feel of wind came around from behind them. The "blanket man" was found and he was ready to haunt. The man captured the two boys and took them away. Maybe to live back at the house, maybe not. We will never know because those boys were never seen again.

A tragic story you can say, of how Halloween night would be filled with darkness.

If I was granted three wishes, how would I spend them...?

If I was granted three wishes, I would try to find a way to help others and still make it a good wish. Honestly, being granted three wishes would be a very exciting and I would most defiantly be thankful. First off, for the first wish I would wish for more money to give to helpless children and children who are suffering. I possibly wouldn't just want to focus on children, but adults too who are suffering and need help. Mabye I could give them help if I knew how and I gave them the attention they need and deserve because nobody, even people we don't know or dislike, needs a comfortable place to put their heads at night.

For my second wish, however, I would most defiantly wish for a cure for every time of cancer. My great grandmother is sick in the hospital dying from cancer and I really want her to get better. The thing that upsets my stomach most is when I know their are people, women and men, who are suffering every single say and no one can do anything about it. I know that my grandmothers from the past who have had cancer and have overcome it said it was an experience they will remember for ever. Having cancer makes you a stronger person, but the fight is the worst possible thing to overcome.

For my third and last wish, I would wish for a new invention to help people with disabilities. Maybe something that would help them get around better and actually blend in with the crowd instead of being an outcast. Everyone is all different in their own ways though, you could say but these children and adults who have disabilities are looked at from a different view then how we judge others. We judge a book by its cover instead of actually trying to understand and get to know the person underneath the skin. The new invention I would like is help people with disabilities is to look and feel more normal. Like a pill they could take to change their looks and make them feel like how they want too. Everyone deserves a chance of beauty and everybody is beautiful in their own ways, we just have to find those ways and make them stand out and make them our best feature.

Hopefully all these wishes I would intend to make would be the right choices and would help others instead of just caring about myself.

Invisible Children. Can You Hear Me Now?

We pride ourselves on knowing and understanding just about everything that is going on in the world, but actually the world has a very small understanding, knowledge, and we have not discussed the issue at hand with "The Invisible Children". What is surprising is that this problem has been going on for many, many years. Honestly, this whole situation is very scary and unbelievable to think about. Once, you have seen what these young children go through day by day you will have a completely different perspective of life itself.

Joseph Koney is the main leader of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army). This group was formed in 1987, and is engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government. Joseph Koney takes his troops out at night and kidnaps young children. It is kind of strange how Koney's army is mostly made up of children from the ages of five to fourteen, but he also has children and teenagers older and much younger. These young children and teenagers are put through the worst circumstances you could ever dream of. Our nightmare is their reality and what they go through every single day in order to survive.

To raise awareness three men by the names of Laren Poole, JasonRussell, and Bobby Bailey, got their family and themselves to raise enough money to take a plan and go to Uganda. There they made a video and became interested with this issue. By doing so, they sat down and talked with a young boy by the name of Jacob. Laren, Jason, and Bobby followed around Jacob asked him his story. Jacob was in the LRA, but one day escaped. He now is living as a regular boy in Uganda. Still, Jacob and others who live in Uganda still are frightened and horrified when they sleep at night. Knowing about this personally makes me disgusted and I want to do more. Sometimes I ask myself how I can and what I can do to make a difference.

Even though this very subject that I’m touching on is frightening and disgusting to me I still really want to learn more about the cause and encourage others to get involved with this program. It can be a really enjoyable and moving experience and that is why I love to try and help with anything I can with this program.

Learning more about this has really opened my eyes to a new world. I have a new perspective on life itself and now I really do appreciate what I have, and I now understand how lucky I truly am.

Hobbies Make Me.

Some people say that home is where the heart is, but for me softball is where the heart is. I have been playing softball since I was four years old. In my family, playing softball is a huge thing for me. My family takes it seriously. Honestly, I can say that I love the game. The way it makes me feel is like I can do anything. Whenever I make a good play or when I get a good hit and the crowd is cheering, it just automatically puts a great big grin on my face.

I have many other interests too. Like dancing is something that I absolutely love to do too. Dancing and just goofing off really defines me in general. I am a fun person and I can go with the flow. Plus, dancing is something that everyone can do and express themselves. It is a way I like to get out of my shell and be creative.

I also like to draw. Whenever I have a piece of paper and a pencil you can always find me drawing, or at least doodling. I like to express myself on a piece of paper and get my feelings out on paper. If I was in a happy mood I would draw the sun and if I was sad I would draw rain drops. Honestly, in about everything I do I can always find some way to express myself.

Another hobby of mine is knit. Some people say that knitting is just for older people but honestly young people can enjoy knitting. It really makes me peaceful and it is kind of like my excape from reality. Knitting can actually be a very fun and relaxing activity. I would and I do recommend it to all my friends and family, and also people around my age.

Sometimes I like to sing too. When I was younger I was in many plays and I had solos. Once I got older I kind of lost interest, but now I am getting into it more. Singing is a good way to also be creative. Obviously, with every hobbie, sport, or activity I do is a creative way to express myself. I think that it is good if people have hobbies and different ones too because hobbies that people do defines themselves. I know my hobbies do and my hobbies in general can explain to someone who I am.

First Day Of High School.

High school is something I've been looking forward to every since I was young, but the first day was something I've been dreading the most. The first day can be quite a challenge. Just walking through the halls in high school is almost the same as tumbling your way through an elbow-bumping surge of teenagers. I was completely lost. I felt like a small fish in a huge pond.

When I first walked through the doors, I thought to myself this is it. This is High School. I was sweating through my socks. I was worried of being an outcast and not fitting in, kind of like a young man who got made fun of the first day of school.

The young man who was probally a sophmore or a freshman staring at his looks and expressions. He looked confused and lost. He walked out of the bathroom and had toilet paper stuck to his foot. I felt so bad. I was scared that, that would happen to me too. Strangers I never knew was starting with embarressment for the young man.

Looking around the halls, I saw faces I've never seen and strangers who are soon to be friends. Hopefully. I wonder what my life will be like in High School. The time will come and I want to have High School to be the best time of my life like my parents have been telling me it would be. I can't wait for my second day of High School.
