Loyalty and Friendship


Author's Note: Lob's Girl is about a girl thats meets a dog and the dog runs away from his owner. Then goes to the main charecters house


To me friends are a really important thing to have in life. Lob's Girl by Joan Aiken is a story about friend ship and loyalty. I enjoyed this this book because it talked about how friend ship and loyalty are important in life. If there was nothing as friend ship or loyalty in life, life would be very boring. Friend ship is very important because if you didn’t have friend ship you wouldn't have friends. If you didn’t have loyalty you might not have friend ships

In the short story, Lob's Girl, the main character and her family went to the beach, and the main character feel and a dog came sprinting to her. Then licked all the sand off her face but at the same time was putting more on because of his tail wagging so fast. When she got up to see what it was it was a cute fluffy dog. They were playing fetch the stick. When the main character had to go the dog and her became really good friends.

Enough said about Lob's Girl. My dogs are my friends they love to play, they are always energetic. But a couple years ago we had to put one of them down. This made me full of sadness because I grew up with her. We got her when she was only 6 weeks olds. Because my other dog was lonely when we left and she always scratched the door. So that’s why we got the other dog.

Friend ship and loyalty one of the most important things to have in life because if you don’t have either one of these you wouldn’t have any friends. I agree about Lob's Girl story  stating that friend ship and loyalty is an important to have in life. Life is going to be boring with out friends because you wouldn’t have any fun or be able to do any thing with friends like birthday parties, hanging out with them, and asking for advice and opinions from people your age.

Lost in the Wild

Authors Note:This is an essay that tells people about the book Hatchet. It is a very good book

Have you ever been stuck out in the wild with only a hatchet? Well in the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen there was a boy stuck out in the wild with only a hatchet and a couple other supplies. The book is very detailed and has a lot of action. Books with a lot of action tend to pull more people in to the book and make them read it more. Brian the main character has the best determination as he fights the wilderness. 

People kept telling me Hatchet is a great book, so this year I decided to read it. I read it and thought it was a fantastic book. The book would be a great book for people that like to read action books. Also people that like to read stories when people are lost in the wild.

Enough said about how amazing the book is. In the beginning the main character is flying in a plane to go see his dad in Canada, he is only in a 2 person plane, but the pilot has a heart attack and the main character has to fly it into a lake. That is a lot of action for in the beginning of the book.

That was a couple of things that happened in the book. There is a life lesson in this book which is determination. If you don’t know what that means it means to never give up. If the main character gave up he would have died of starvation, but he didn’t because he has determination and knows how to survive in the wild.

Gary Paulsen, the writer of the amazing book Hatchet has a lot of action and well detailed. The action in this book pulls more people and making them read more and more. If we didn’t have determination and we were lost out in the wild and we gave up, we would die.
