Favorite Place

            We are going to Ho Hut for my Birthday. It’s my favorite restraint to go to. We go all the time when we go shopping in Sioux City and Lincoln. It’s a Mongolian grill restraint.

 When we get there I look at the red and orangish, yellowish colors on the out side. I look at the sign with the Mongolian chief on it. And read the words Ho Hut Mongolian Grill.

Then we walk in theirs an employ there at the front desk that takes us to our table. He gives us our menu and we decide what we want to drink. We tell him and he takes our menus and we go to the food line.

When we get to the food line we take a bowl and put meat, noodles, fruit, veggies, and the ingredients for the sauces. After that we take our food to the cooks and the take our food and put it on the grill. The grill is in a circular shape that has a hole in the middle of it.

After we get our food we head back to our table and eat. When we get there, is a bowl of rice and two plats of salads. I eat me salad first then eat my meal. It was so good I have to go for seconds. So I do and I walk past all of the other people eating and they look happy.

When I’m done with the second course I look back at the food line. It’s saying come for more, but my stomach is saying no I’m going to burst so I don’t. The waiter comes back with our check and I pay for it. When we leave I say, “That was very, very good.”

Why My Cat is Important to Me

          Mac is a friend and family. He is very big. He has the most beautiful colors. And is called Big Mac. That’s some details of my cat.

         He likes to lie on top of you. When you don’t give him attention he will nip at you for it. He will crush you, if you don’t give him attention. He will lie on you even if you are a new person. That’s just how he is.

          When he gets hungry he starts to say Aarwn over and over to get you to feed him. He is a very big cat, but you wouldn’t believe me that its just fur. He is very loving and fluffy. When he gets in my room at night he jumps up on bed and crushes me by lying on my chest.

         When I’m on Skype with a friend and I here him coming I say, “here comes Big Mac” and we laugh. We call him Big Mac because at Mc Donald’s the have the Big Mac. My friend was the first to call him that because we had Mc Donald’s for lunch. He is one of my best friends.

He is brown and has black on his back. He has the most beautiful green eyes. It has a tan belly. He has a brown strip right down his spin. Also down his tail.

        We got him from our paster for my sister. But she left to live with dad and couldn’t take Mac with her. So we take care of him for her, but I’m secretly glad she couldn’t take him.

Patriotic Essay

Our veterans have sacrificed so much while and after serving. They have gone through mental sickness, losses of friends, and even some of their body parts.

Veterans have gone through hell and back to put it nicely. Most of our veterans come home with mental sicknesses like PTSD or shellshock. The term of shell shock came from World War I when they were bombarding the trenches. There are few treatments for our veterans today.

            A lot of veterans have given their lives and limbs. They have seen friends die right next to them. Their families heard from mail that they died half way across the world. Like in World War Two on D-day on how we stormed the beaches and had all of these losses.

            One-sacrifice veterans make is to miss their children being born. They may miss their parent’s funeral. Their friends might move on and forget. They’ll go to college, get married, and move on.

            Now do you know how much our veterans have sacrificed for our freedom? Good now that you know go and thank them. Be nice and also welcome them home. Especially the Vietnam War vets.

Letters About Literature

Dear Rick Riordan,

I first heard your name from a friend and he said I’d like your books. So I bought the whole set. I’ve had them for a few years. Never read one of the books until last summer.

When I was going to a boyscout camp my mom asked me if I wanted to bring a book with me. So I agreed and I took the book Percy Jacksons the Lightning Thief. I read it on the way down and got ¼ of the way done. Then we got there and we set up tents and got all of our stuff in the tent. Collin and I sat in our tent and talked also read our books. We had classes in the morning and evenings so I read at night that happened for two days.

We left and went home and a week later I when to a church camp I liked with my friend. We were in the same cabin with Heydon our other friend. In our free time they would go to the gym and play games while I stayed and read the book. I had brought the second book just in case I finished the first but I hadn’t. We left and went home.

 We all left for the second boyscout camp and I read the whole way. When we got there I had ¼ of the book left. We’ll this camp lasted for a week and it was right after the last one and I was tired but I finished Percy Jacksons the Lightning Thief and started the second book. We had left and I had completed eight maret badges.

I haven’t finished the other books yet because I’m busy with school. Yet I really liked the story. It helped me realize I like to read and fueled my interests in history. So I thank you for all your hard work.

Sincerely,

Aaron DeWitt, Grade 8

Personal Naritive

         This will be two different stories about sledding. There are mixed emotions and funny stuff. This is the two stories of snow sled fun.

I was five here. “It’s a nice day out, but a little chilly so bundle up my.” Mom said. I did and I went sledding with my sister. We sledded for a while and went in side and had hot coco and we played a little.

We went back out and started to sled again. (My house was located right next to the highway and a country road.) We sledded on the opposite side this time and it was stepper. So my sister went first and she was fine. Then I went and it was fine at first.

            I got to the ditch and was going faster than expected, and flow out of the ditch still on my sled, and slid across the road and there was a truck coming to. I flow into the other ditch. (The other side of the road was a cow farm with barbed wire fence.) I rolled out and my sled went up the barbed wire fence and was in a 45^o angle.

I was thrilled and scared. I was fine at the end. I went back to the house and quit for the day.

This is the second story. It’s a bit short because I don’t really remember it too much.

I was six here.  I went sledding in Red Oak, IA with my family. Everyone was there and it was a nice day to sled. We were at the park, which had the water tower in it. It is a big park and it has baseball and softball fields to.

We spent a good half-hour there before the accident. I was going down the hill and I looked back at my mom and then wham. I hit the pole with my head. I blackout and when I woke up I was at home. That was a nice and bad day to go sledding.

Problem-Soution Essay

Do you like testing? Do you have enough freedom? Can you eat or drink while testing? I didn’t think so. Well we have the solution for you.

            Have you ever heard of a potation? If so, start one. It gets awareness out about the problem. And it might just work if used on the right problem.

            When you have started it get people to sign it. When they sign it say what it’s about. When that’s done say thank you and leave. Don’t forget to tell them to come to the meeting.

            Once that’s done go to court or go to the person in charge and hand it to them. If it is not passed or approved go start another way of getting it passed. If that doesn’t work than it wasn’t meant to be.

            That’s what I would do (don’t give up). If it doesn’t work for me than I would just quit. I don’t like to waste time. But you might and it might not be wasting time for you.
