Wilderness

Authors Note: I wrote this piece about the book "hatchet". It will be my retelling piece.

A young boy survives alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing to assist him but a small hatchet. Left with only a hatchet he received as a gift from his mother, he then faces survival challenges - building a shelter, hunting for food, fighting off wild animals, big and small. While facing the outside wilderness, he also confronts his inner difficulties following his parents' breakup and what he conceived as his mother's unfaithfulness. After nearly two months of resourcefulness adventures, Brian is rescued, but in the process he had grown and changed to become a new person.

Founding Fathers

Authors Note: This piece is about the Founding Fathers and what I would ask them if I would be able to talk to them.

Dear Founding Fathers,

What I agreed with was, that they were  fighting  for freedom for our rights to be an American, because of them we have our rights. If we didn’t  black people would still be sitting in the back of the bus and white people in the front of the bus. People wouldn’t be treated write but today they are, everyone has their own rights and everyone is treated equally, the same which it should be.

I disagree because one of the presidents fighting but they had slaves why would they fight for freedom if he still has slaves it doesn’t make any sense that he would do that to black people. They should be treated with kindness and respect just like anyone else wants to be, no matter what color they are. Way back in the day but then they should of known that everyone  should have their equal rights and their own way to live.

If I was a person back then I would make sure everyone was treated the same or I would try my best to keep everyone to be treated equal because I love colored people they are some of my best friend’s. Some people these days still don’t get how to treat people right like people kill other people and people bully others like there's something wrong with them but is there really? No because everyone’s different, but I guess not everyone sees that some people still get abused and that’s just not right. What did they ever do to disserve that. It just leads up to pain and suffer and people kill them self, does that really make people happy in life.

Sincerley,

Doug Kropelin

Surviver

Authors Note: This piece is based on the book Hatchet. it is my conflict and resolution.  

The book hatchet has a big conflict in it, which is a boy having to survive in the wilderness alone with only a .22 rifle, a hatchet and a couple other supplies. With those supplies he as to survive for, well actually for as long as it takes to find him. It is very dangerous in the wilderness. Especially when there isn’t much he can do to survive. At least he knows how to make a fire which is used as a warning for someone that is lost and a heating source.

During the story a couple terrible things happen to him such as a tornado hitting the spot where he has to stay. In the end a pilot flying a plane that could ,land in water, landed in the lake that he was camping  by and rescued him. He was taken to his father and he told him what had happened.

Never Good to be Cocky

Authors Note: This piece is a short piece about a cocky baseball player. This is my cause and effect piece

Casey is a cocky baseball player that thinks he is the best at baseball but he let’s 2 balls that he could ,have easily hit, but he doesn't. They are down by 2 with 2 people on base. They also have 2 outs and now 2 strikes. With the final pitch coming towards him he swings the bat and misses the ball.

They lost because of Casey having so much confident in him self. When you are cocky it is not a good thing because you could lose and people would start not to like you. Being cocky can have a major effect in your life such as losing friends and getting people mad at you.

Personal Narrative

The time i caught my first fish i could get mounted was extraordinary. it was almost the most exciting day of my life. i believe it was only my 5 th time fishing!!! Now that is pretty good for a 7 year old kid that is new at fishing

well my dad and i were fishing on freeze lake, fishing for bass. when all  a sodden i feel something heavy on it but it wasn't fighting back if it was a fish. so i am reeling it in and i tell my dad "i think i got something on". he says "no you don't, its just weeds". i say "no its not dad it is alot heavier than weeds. iit started to get closer to the boat as i real it in.when it gets close enough to see it when it was in the water i told my dad to look at it, he saw it and grabbed the net right away.

he got the net, got the fish in the boat, measured it , and he asked me if i wanted to get it mounted and of course i said yes. i was very excited. that day was one of the best days in my life. my dad and i had to bring it to the guy  that had to mount it. i was very excited to get my fish.

catching my first mounted fish was a great experience. when i am with my dad i feel a lot better about fishing because he brings me to good places to fish and that is why i caught my bass. i had a great time catching my bass and i hope to catch a lot more.
