Lonely Mountain
Once in a land of
trees, rocks, and foaming rivers
There was a lone
Pollution
As the trees change color
The beauty of the rainforest was shown
Years later all dead
Moon Howling
Streams and curving green hills
Valleys and cottages people around camp fires
while the wolfs howls

Once there was an Eskimo called Tarry who lived in the North Pole.
He was the strongest Eskimo in his tribe, the “Perry’s.” The Perry’s clothes were made out of walrus skin and the leader of the Perry’s son was turning 18 and for his birthday he was to get a purple walrus fur to wear. Purple was the leaders sons favorite color. One day Tarry was walking along an ice flat when, looking down he almost jumped out of his skin. There under the ice was a purple walrus. He took his ice axe out from by backpack and started smashing the layer in between them. Finally Tarry made it through and tried to pull the walrus out of the water. He had a little trouble because this walrus was really really heavy. Tarry slapped the walrus once but he didn’t respond, then he slapped him harder. When that didn’t work he backhanded him extremely hard. The walrus jolted and water gushed out of his mouth. The walruses eyes weakly fluttered open and he said, “Hello Tarry, I am Larry.”

“You are the best pet ever!!” Tarry said to his pet walrus, Larry. Tarry and Larry had been wrestling on the floor of his apartment on the coast of the Pacific. After Tarry had got Larry back to the Perry camp he had to hide him in his ice chest that his father Parry. He had started making plans to leave the tribe and go to California. Larry was the last of the purple walruses so when the leader of the tribe found purple fluff in the empty igloo of Tarry, he had to follow him and get Larry. Tarry took a cargo boat to California and because the currency from the North Pole is quite rare he was a multi-millionaire in one currency transfer.

“I am sort of hot, let’s go get an ice cream and swim,” suggested Larry.
“Ok” replied Tarry. They started out, as they walked down the street the saw some men that for some reason looked familiar to him. He walked towards them and then realized, too late, that they were the members of the Perry tribe and they were looking for him!!!
“You are coming with us,” one of the men whispered one of the men into Tarry’s ear.
“No!” Tarry shook his head, but there was a barrel of something metallic up against his back.
“I just got a really strong urge to come along quietly and calmly.” He corrected himself, but Larry would have none of it and he turned on the men an threw them in the air like they were rag dolls.

He even impaled one man on one of his tusks. The police showed up and yelled “put yalls dum bass hands and paws in the c2o filled air, but Larry grabbed Tarry and flew up into to the sky farting rainbows all the way.

Years, hundreds of years, later scientists found the bones of Tarry and Larry next to each other in the middle of a pond in Hawaii Tarry the Eskimo had turned into Tarry the millionaire and had also concurred his fear of slaughter. Larry on the other hand had been a magical walrus after he got over his secret fear of killing.
Exaggeration number 1 I would not use a long handled shovel to make a target of myself
Exaggeration number 2 he said he would translate the talmut from the original Hebrew for the salary of being a news editor
Exaggeration number 3 he thought of being a best friend to a murderer for the favor of making news
I inwardly resolved that I would starve before I would make a target of myself and shoot rubbish with a long handed shovel
I made up my mind to not shovel ever again
25 dollars a week it looked like bloated luxury a sinful and lavish waste of money
25 dollars a week was a huge amount of money
I had never had occasion to kill anybody nor ever felt the desire to do so but wore the thing in deference to popular sentiment, and in order that I may not, by its absents, be offensively conspicuous and subject to remark.
If I stopped wearing a gun people would talk about me.
I didn’t find any of the sentences confusing
In these lines he uses hyperbole to describe how his father left stocks which were worthless so he made a joke that it wasnt possible to eat the paper.
It is a memoir because he did all the things he said and to make it funny he used exaggerations so it wasn’t boring, but they were not lies.
This Christmas I got a bow and arrow Santa Clause. I don’t believe it was Santa Clause because my mom seemed to know all about what the girl at the store said about how to use it and about the price. The second I unwrapped it I wanted to go outside and use it, but I couldn’t because I had my cousins over. Their names are Merlin and Lucas so my mom calls them muchus as a nick name for both of them. My aunt Chris did not want them playing with it because it is a dangerous. It has sharp arrows with metal tips. The next day was Boxing day, the day after Christmas. It snowed about 18 inches that day, so my mom said to wait until the snow melted which took forever. If I had used the bow and arrow when there was over a foot of snow on the ground then when I shot the arrow it would have sunk into the ground and been hidden by the mass of snow and I wouldn’t be able to find it until the snow melted. This is like the padlock I took off the barn door and dropped in the snow and couldn’t find until the snow melted. We made the most of the snow by making snowmen and making a sled track all day.
On new years eve we had a party. My dad and his friend made a big bonfire. At the end of the party my dad launched a bunch of fireworks. He got them for Christmas from Santa/mum. Some of them were really big but some of them were really disappointing. Me and my friend Danny drank some of the muled wine. It was sour and gross so I mixed it with the hot cider and then it tasted good.
It wasn’t until the day after new years day that the snow melted. My mom’s friend brought me a hay bale to use as a target. I shot a bunch of arrows into the hay bale. I have four arrows there are two different types. One of the arrows shattered possibly hitting a rock in the ground. he end was destroyed and it doesn’t fly any more. I had some very successful shots on target in which one of them I was jumping. I wish I had a quiver. Santa said maybe she would get me one off amazon. One of arrows cut through the cord holding it in a cube shape so it all fell apart.
I hope you had as good a Christmas/New years as I did but it wouldn’t be half as good.
Even when he was born he knew he was different and on his 15 birthday the changes started. He felt them all over him, little, but prickling. Jax lived in a tree city called Bing Town and he had a relationship with a dragon. The dragon had decided to make him an elderling and the changes had began.
Bing Town was inhabited by dragons and elderlings. The leader of the elderlings was jerde, she was the most powerful of them all and her word was law. Jax was her son and he was born with scales on him but the changes had to be guided by a dragon and the dragon that had chosen him was Sintara. Sintara was blue and silver and gold and the tailor made him a lovely gold and silver coat and as he cleaned and washed his dragon there relation got greater. One day they were out hunting and Sintara made a muffled noise she seemed to want to tell him something then the thought jumped into his head “danger”. He turned as fast as he could but it was to late an arrow impaled him and he screamed. The pain then there was an explosion and body parts flew every where there was blood and guts all over. The people from the high tech biome were
The book The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck is about a man who lives in China. Marries a slave from the house of Hwang called O-lan. She is a very hard worker even when she just had a baby and that happens a lot. After there was a flood that destroyed all the crops in his town which meant no food for anybody so they had to go to the south on a thing called fire wagon. When they were in the city they begged for money but Wang lung didn’t believe in begging so he pulled people around for money. One day there were people staging A rich man’s house and as they win one room Wang lung went into another room and found a man who gave him money to let him escape. So they went back to his hometown and lived in peace until he found the woman called Lotus and a prostitute house and bought her so now she was a concubine. As Lotus didn’t get taken care of as well as she should’ve been she got fat and unpretty but Wang got to richer and richer until he was able to buy the palace of Hwang. I would not recommend this book because he was really weird, he had 2 wives and one 12 year old concubine when he was 50, not only was he weird, but he started to spend money like it was going out of fashion. I would rate this book a 1/2 star because of the reasons that I stated before.

Questions
1. Jack London had a wide scope because he focused on the whole of San Francisco getting destroyed instead of just one person
2. Jack London was on biased towards this article he had no opinions and at the end he could’ve said we should help San Francisco but he had no opinion on the matter
3. Government made people leave the pet behind because they were funded to evacuate people’s pets.
4. I like the second article better because it was very touching when he came back for his dog that you left when he was evacuated
