The first chapter of Year of The Bomb is about four boys (about 13 years old) and one of the boys is the narrator. There names are Oz, Arnie and Crank, and they love to watch horror movies together in LA. After they finished he movie they went over to the C.C Brown’s Ice cream shop and got and when they finished they took the bus home and they argued  because Crank shoved Oz in the bus and all four of them arguing then Arnie pulled out a comic book and looked through it and all of them stopped arguing and flipped through the comic book and talked about it. And when they got home in Sierra Madre they went to Oz’s house and picked up the mail and flipped through one of the magazines and gasped and told hi friends that a horror movie was being made in there town called “Invasion of The Body Snatchers”.

One day a boy named Bobby ran outside yelling “yay yay!” All the neighbors looking at him in disappointment. He ran to the white Fed Ex Truck in joy “Hi Julio!” said Bobby, the Fed Ex man replied “Hi Bobby!” As they chat a man in a UPS truck starring at Julio. When Julio saw him he pushed Bobby aside and drove off. Bobby stared at the UPS man and ran off. The next day Julio never came Bobby looking at his phone and Julio never said about him being sick or anything. Then he tried to call him but it went strait to voice mail. After Bobby got scared about Julio was gone….FOREVER….After he thought about going to the Fed Ex distributing center where Julio gets all the boxes and gets them to there destination.

Bobby ran as fast as his little legs could go. It was a 7 mile run but Bobby didn’t care, he just kept running. 1 hour as pasted after he started running, he was panting and wheezing then he saw a local liquor store and luckily had a dollar to buy a bottle. After chugging it he started running again. At that point he didn’t know where he was running. Then he glanced at a sign, he stopped in fear. Standing there he looked at the sign saying Canadian border.

“He lived in Texas” he thought “how did I get to the Canadian border!”. Then thats what hit him if he is in front of Canada and its winter, where is the snow. He looked at his phone and it was out of battery, “this must be fake” he thought he sprinted back home and ran inside squirt gun and bring extra water and food for his trip to “Canada”. He took his motorized scooter put his supplies on it and forgot something so special its like unbelievable. He came out with his lucky chicken leg and got on his scooter and drove off.

It has been 4 years that Bobby has been looking for his friend Julio, he finally called off his search. He came home and looked outside and screaming “JULIO!!!!!!!!!” he ran outside and Bobby said “Where have you been!” Julio responded “I retired 4 years ago and i lost my phone charger and there is dark secret about me…….(died)

Charter Schools

VS

Public Schools

Most kids in their life go to public schools, 90% of kids do to be exact. 10% of students go to charter or private schools. Charter schools are better than public and private schools. Charter schools allow you pick what you want to do and you can go at your own pace! In public schools you have to do the projects in order, which is hard for some people. Charter schools are the future of education for the U.S.

A charter school is a school that gives you an option of choosing where you want to go to school. If there was no charter school where you live you would have to go to a public school or private school. The name for certain public schools are called “Dropout Factories”. They call it a “Dropout Factory” because they have a high rating for students dropping out. If there are no charter schools you could also go to a private school, which you have to pay money to get into. But not everyone can afford a private school. If there is a charter school where you live you can get a better education than a public and a private school for free!

At charter schools teachers don’t have the tenure plan. The tenure plan makes it very hard to fire a teacher because no mater what they can never get fired. The only way is to file a report and that takes around two years. A teacher gets tenure when they have taught for a number of years. At a charter school when there is a bad egg (teacher) they can fire them and get a new teacher. It doesn’t  happen at a public school because the teachers have tenure. It’s better at a charter school because the teachers have to work hard or be fired.

Most public schools have large class sizes because there are so many people in the school. In charter schools the class sizes are smaller because there is only a limited amount of people. Smaller class sizes help because there are a less amount of students and it’s not crowded in the class. It helps you as a student if there is not a lot of noises and distractions. It also can help so you can go at your own pace. With smaller class sizes it can help you focus and go at the speed you want to.

Even though you can’t make a lot of friends with a small amount of people at a charter school, the bullying is lower than public schools. The bullying is lower because there are less amount of people to be bullied by. Also when you get a friend at a charter school you are closer to them because you see them every day. But at public schools when you get a friend sometimes you only see him once or twice a day, because you have to switch classes. Charter schools are also better because of the smaller class sizes because you can go on field trips and overnight field trips. At public schools there is just too many people.

Charter schools are better than public schools. If there are no charter schools where you live you would have to pay for a private or go to a public, but if there is a charter then you can pick the school you want. At charter schools you can fire the bad teachers and get better ones. Another good thing about charter schools is that the class sizes are small. That makes it so you’re not bullied as much. Even though the class sizes are smaller if you find a friend you will be close friends because you see each other every day.

It is my turn,

To go up to the gates of heaven,

Or go down to the devil’s dungeon

But many saw that if I do sinful things

I will go down,

But if I do admirable things

I will go up,

I thought if I would go up

Or

Go down,

I thought and thought,

He took me away while I was thinking

He said to me you have eternity to think

So I fooled him and lived my life for eternity.

The smell of new clothes

Can also smell of bad broth

For when Christmas is near

It was time for cheer

The feast all warm

But be ready for a swarm

For when all the seats are taken

It will be awakened

Before it’s all gone

We have a nice chat

But when all is done

It is already dawn

We say goodbye out on the lawn

And that’s when I tell them to go along

With a big yawn

But I must go on

To say I’m happy for them being there

Prohibition started in the 1920’s. The campaign was run by people who wanted a dry country, they included the Anti-Saloon League and the Women’s Temperance Union. Prohibition was a time in history when alcohol was banned in the U.S by the senate. Seventy-four precent of people voted on banning alcohol and twenty-six precent voted on keeping alcohol still legal. Prohibition ended a little over a decade, thirteen years to be exact.

One of the reasons that caused Prohibition is that lots of men lost all their money and couldn’t pay taxes and pay for their families. Also, they would lose their house because they had no money because they spent it all on alcohol. It was also unpatriotic to drink during WWI because it was produced from grain. The U.S were fighting the Germans and they were well known for their beer. If you were seen drinking German beer it meant that you supporting the Germans. Continue reading →

It is always me, who has to go back and come back sad, but still pleased. I just want to stay. I can’t play this game anymore. Just take me or deny me. I am too young for you to play with my emotions.

They are all different. They all beg and act like they are happy, but they don’t understand. In the beginning I was loved like an antique glass, but in the end we are all antique glasses waiting to break or be taken back and be ignored.

My partner is Jonas and I am posting about  Static Electricity. Static Electricity means when one object has less electrons and the other object has more( imbalanced charge)and when you put the them together they tick and shock to even out. Like when lighting shocks upward or downward. Like in this picture below.
