Jurrasic Park review

One lesson that the audience should learn from this movie is to never create something that went extinct for a reason. The dinosaurs died in a natural disaster and they were not meant to be on this earth. They should never have been recreated because they are just a threat to people that encounter them. If the dinosaurs weren’t created and they just made a normal theme park, none of that would have happened. The kids life would not have been in grave danger so many times. If the dinosaurs wouldn’t have been created everything would be fine.

Dells story

As you walk up the stairs your heart pumps, you are about to ride the biggest rollercoaster in the Wisconsin dells. Your best friend Lucy is shaking next to you. She is just as nervous as you are. You inch closer and closer to the front of the line, and the closer you get the more you think about going back and not riding this rollercoaster. Finally after 51 nerve-racking minutes you get to the front of the line, and the creepy man taking tickets is smiling at you. Then suddenly a man that had just gotten off the ride staggered past you, trying to get to a garbage can before he puked. “Let’s not go on this ride and go on a different ride instead” said Lucy.
“ No we have been waiting for too long to just leave let’s just go on the ride” I said. So we got into the seat, and the bar came down. We were the only 14 year olds there. The rest of the passengers were like 10 years older than us.
As people were boarding the rest of the cars Lucy said “I have a bad feeling about this look ahead of us.”
“Whoa” I said as I look forward, there were 3 loop de loops and then a hill so high I couldn’t see the top because of the clouds. Then I saw something really terrifying, there were barf bags in front of us. “It almost like they expect up to puke” said Lucy.
Then the rollercoaster started to inch forward, and my heart skipped a beat. As go we go around the first loop I am already feeling nauseous. “I don’t feel so well” said Lucy, and then suddenly she pukes into the barf bag. Then we start to go up the gia nt hill slowly. Lucy was hyperventilating and I looked down and I could barely see the ground. The people that were on the ground looked like little ants they were so small. Finally we got to the top, and on the roller coaster track there was a little flat part before you would go down the hill. Then the coaster started to slow down and then eventually stop.
“I think we are stuck” I said, and then suddenly everyone was paralyzed. We couldn’t even see the ground! Nobody knew we were up there, and everyone thought we would all die. We sat there in silence then suddenly someone realized they had their cell phones. So they try to call 911 to come help them, but then someone pushed the car a little bit, and the phone flew out of their hand. We watched it as it as it plummeted toward the ground. Finally the people on the ground realized we were stuck, but they couldn’ t get us down we were so high.
“Help” said the guy in the front car, but his efforts were useless and no one could hear him. Then the same guy that thought the people could hear him if he yelled

Elizabeth van lew

As I sit in my small extremely cramped cell I think about how things could have gone differently; how I could have denied getting captured from the confederates. I knew that I shouldn’t have walked outside all alone that night. So now I am stuck inside this tiny little room trapped with 15 other people. Then a women walks in and hands an old man a book to read. I am very confused about how this could happen, she is a Confederate soldier and is bringing us books and extra food. As I watch the man slowly open the book I see a smile starting to form on his face. He seems to be reading but he looks so happy. I walk over to him and look to see what is in this book. All I saw a bunch of words underlined in this small book.
Then I whispered “What is in this book, and who was that lady that gave you it.
“You don’t know who that is, that is Elizabeth Van Lew, otherwise known as crazy bet.” He said. “This is a code and she is going to help us escape, I’ll see if she can rescue you next” Then I looked up and saw her again. She was talking to the man that I had just talked to. I saw her smile and then she walked over to me.
As she handed me some bread and a book she whispered
“There is a code in this book read the underlined words and follow what it says, I’ll be back tomorrow if you have any more questions.” Then just as the guard glared at her she left and went over to talk to them. I saw them smile and it looked like she was charming them. They smiled and she walked away. As she was walking she quickly winked at me and I knew that she was here for a good cause. She was a spy for the Union. Then I got busy on trying to find out what crazy Bet was trying to tell me. After two hours I finally figured out what it said. As the curios others in the jail cell watched I slowly read the message.
"At the break of dawn next Sunday go to the well nearest the prison, then turn left into the woods. Follow the north star, and you will be led to freedom." When Sunday finally rolled around all of the prisoners in my cell got ready to leave. Crazy Bet took the keys and snuck us out the back door, and led us to the well. When we almost got caught she distracted the security guards. I was really dark and everyone wanted to go back but there was no turning back now, so we kept on going and eventually found one of the Union troops. We went back and told them everything that we have heard and saw. Elizabeth Van Lew was one of the most important women spies in the civil war.

spring break

This weekend I went to the bucks game and the brewers game. Right when I walked into the brewers stadium is smelled the freshly cooked sausages on the grill. Their was a cold wind that night. We got up to the box and the game started. The brewers ended up losing the game. I also went to the bucks game. The boxes at the bucks game were even nicer than the ones in the brewers stadium. Their was 2 pairs of binoculars inside of the box and they even had 2 TV's. Their was a huge crowd that night to watch one of the last games before the playoffs.

Creative Writing story

“It’s that time of year again for the one and only town fair” said the man delivering the newspaper.
“This year featuring the biggest roller coaster in the world, the giant fall.”
“Can we go please mom” said my little sister.
“Yes, but only if you go on the giant fall” said my mom.
“We will leave tonight at 7 you can ask your friends if they want to come” she continued.
AT THE FAIR
“I can’t believe that it is finally time to go on the coaster, let’s go get in line” said my sister.
2 HOURS LATER
“Yes, were finally at the front of the line” said my sister
We load the load the cart and look ahead of us and see the twisty turny track and the giant hill in front of us.
As we slowly inch forward my sister screams “I don’t have a good feeling about this.”
Then, we start to go up the hill and all I can hear is click clack of the track.
Then I made a HUGE mistake, I looked down.
“OMG, don’t look down” I said shakily to my sister.
But, then she looked down and started to scream.
“Get me out of here, I don’t want to be here ahhhhhhhh” she screamed.
By then we had almost made it to the top of the roller coaster. At the top there was a small plateau.
“Yes, I am so relieved, said my sister we are almost to the top.”
“No, that’s bad, the worst part of the roller coaster is coming up” is said.
But then we started to slow down and then slowly pulled to a stop.
“Help help help” yelled everyone on the roller coaster.
My sister started to cry “Were never going to get out of here and were going to die.”
“I wonder if they even realize that were up here” said the guy in front of us. Then the next group of cars pulled up behind us and bumped into us. That caused us to plummet forward, down the hill. At the end we all ran off and saw that the people behind us were still up there. We called people for help and saved them. We were so shaken up we went straight home and went to sleep.
