THE HOUSE IN THE FOREST

Mark and John were driving to  a lake, Mark drove while john tried to use a map. when they arrived they unpacked the car and went camping, later when they were packing up, a bear tracked down the fishes smell to the boys . the bear jumped out of a bush and as the door was closing the boys ran for the vegetation on the edge of the forest.Mark and John with their lungs panting were jumping over fallen logs and sliding under thorny branches. after a while they stopped running, “do you think he’s gone?” John asked, “probably”Mark replied, “then lets head back” John said, “and risk getting eaten by that bear.” Mark retorted. they both decided to stay the night at an abandoned house.

That evening John wanted to go catch some fish at a nearby waterfall while Mark explored the house. John cast the line into the river above the waterfall. He felt a tug on his fishing pole as it arched. Then he pulled as hard as he could, and a fish flopped onto the shallow sandbar but it didn’t go unnoticed. the bear smelled the fish right away and charged at John but the bear tripped and fell off the waterfall, John shouted” INSTANT KARMA”.While John was flailing his arms around mark had found stairs leading up, mark was heading upstairs when there was a hallway stove and a door to the left.

As mark entered the room there was an wall full of flintlock muskets an mark said “this must be a  revolutionary war armory. he whisked around and john was behind him,”hi”said john, Mark asked “do you have any fish?” “Not at the moment” John said.when they woke up John said he’d seen a small tower near the pond, they packed what they could and walked up to it, there was a door. The door was old so they kicked it open and to the left lay an old remington rifle. On the other corner was, well a corner.  Mark picked up the gun and they continued on their way. Ther was one thing though, there was a metal fence  and with barbed wire on top. “How are we going to get up there?”Mark said, “over there ” John replied. There was a stack of stones and they were just high eSonough to jump over the fence. They were walking through the forest and they saw a bear, mark shot at it but missed and didn’t have time to reload. The bullet ricocheted off a rock, hit a branch and the branch fell on the bear, paralyzing it on the spot. A clearing appeared and they saw their car on the side of the road were they left it.

Hello Lucy!

It’s me Mama. I’m here to say that life seems good in Lucky Diggins. Maybe I can come visit you for a few days if you’d like. I bet you are a great librarian. Maybe one day you can save enough money to build  an outdoor library. I hope I can visit your library.You are very smart to build a library because on a cold day you can read a book.  I hope that I like the Sandwich Islands and Brother Clyde will like this new place as well. Sending all my love.

 

Love, Mama

Two Cool Stories

“Two Cool Stories”

By Liam Figueroa

I am going to write about two awesome stories I read. I will compare and contrast, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne and “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London.

There are some similarities in these two fun stories. Both stories are very good to read because they have a bunch of adventure and danger. First of all, in “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” the main character is Pierre Aronnax who is a scientist hunting a Narwhal. The Narwhal turns out to be a submarine called the Nautilus driven by a man called Captain Nemo, and Pierre goes on many adventures with him. Captain Nemo shows Pierre the Lost City of Atlantis and Pierre is stunned by the beauty of the architecture. In “The Call of the Wild,” the main character is a dog named Buck who was dognapped and sold to a man in the harsh Yukon Territory. The man is a mail carrier who has a whip and another dog named Spitz. Spitz is a mean and vile dog who attacks Buck daily, and Buck nearly kills him and takes over as Alpha dog. Buck has many owners who are terribly mean but the last owner is an angel. The last owner is a man named John Thornton who loves Buck and lets Buck run free in the wild. John gets attacked by Indians and dies, Buck attacks the Indians and the Indians run away terrified.

Although both stories have a lot of similarities, there are specific differences. In “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” the adventure is on the vast ocean. The main character is a man that is a scientist and likes to study mysteries. The story is in different parts of the world. In “The Call of The Wild,” the story takes place in the harsh Yukon Territory. Buck is the main character and is a dog. The wild calls buck to escape from the clutches of men because they are very violent and they don’t give him his freedom.

In conclusion,  both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” because it was very dangerous and I was excited about the details. In “The Call of The Wild” I felt scared because I thought something was going to happen to Buck, but I felt happy at the end that nothing happened to Buck. My favorite was “Call of The Wild” because it was emotional and relaxing. I thought I was Buck while I was reading the book, and I felt scared and happy at the same time.
