Finish the Story!

--The black cat twitched its tail twice. It hissed. Then disappeared as it sprinted away into the night. Two brothers dressed as Batman and Robin saw the cat and thought nothing of the sneaky suspicion of the cat. The boys were out in the yard playing batman as they fought off their imaginated villians that was tring to break into the Batcave and the house of Gothom. As they continued thier journey from house to house they filled their buckets full till candy was going everywhere. Every now and then they would catch a glimps of that black cat following them. As they went back to their house to see what kind of candy they had and trade, a gang of bullies walk upon their path and stopped them in thier tracks, trying to find out what they were up to they questioned the two brothers. The boys were beginning to become afraid and offered the guys some of the candy they had gotten from the houses. So the boys stuffed their pockets with as much as they could when a Police Officer rolled around the corner, and the gang took off. The boys terrified and almost home now took off as fast as possible to get to the safty of their father and check the candy they still had left. Even thought the gang snached up a bunch of candy they were still satisfied with what they had and would go with the safety of a parent next year.

FAV Halloween

What was the best Halloween you ever had. Tell what you did, when you did it, where you did it, who you did it with, and why you enjoyed it.
--I can't really say which Halloween would be the one that I thought was my best Halloween. Halloween has never really been one of those holidays that I really thought about much, it came and it went, I went along with the actions, and then it was over just like that. As a kid I guess I really thought it was just something else, all of the candy that I received, and the costume that I always looked so forward to about wearing. I guess that I would say that they have all been good ones, I can't remember a Halloween that went badly for me. Yes, the candy was always great as a child but now that I am older it goes much deeper than that. They are always the same: because of the fact that I live in the country, there never was ever really a place to go around my house, so when we were dressed we would go to town and to the families houses, then we would venture to going to one of my aunts houses were everyone would meet and go out and around to the other houses in the neighborhood with some of the cousins. After we got tired of going house to house we would go to the grandparents houses for the rest of the night and visit with the family. The reason that it was so enjoyable is because I was there with my family getting that chance to visit and fellowship the people that I love the most.

Use your five senses.

Describe several Halloween sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches.
--Halloween brings about many different things to make you think about. Some sights that I think about when I think about halloween is the many different costumes that are running around just everywhere. So many costumes with such a wide variety, scary monsters to princess and heros to villians. Halloween decorations line the streets and the little kids run to get thier candy. Sounds that halloween make me think of is the scream and chatter of cheerful children. Also there is the scary sounds that are in the decorations that people put out, and the scarring of anyone and everyone. Smells of Halloween is the smell of fall, candy apples, costumes that have been put away in storage all year. Also the the smell of pumkin candles and the punch and food and the grandparents house. Tastes of halloween also include the pumkin pies, candy apples, carmal, sherbert punch and many, many more candys. Touches of Halloween is the push of a doorbell and the grabbing of someone trying to scare others. Halloween is one of those times that require the use of all of your senses when you don't even think about it.

Fall Camping Trip

Every year me, my dad, and my brother take a fall camping trip to Kentucky Lake, it has always just been us, but this year we invited my mother and two sisters to tag alone with us and also one of my sisters boyfriend. He has never been a part of a family like ours, and has found that it is what he likes and where he belongs. We have always enjoyed the camping in the backwoods, but this year we bought a camper, so us boys had the luxery of camping in the camper until the girls came down and then me and Earl was happily kick out and into the tent. It wasn't really a good weekend to go camping because of the constant rain. But we all agreed that it was possibly one of the best camping trips we have had yet. Even though it wasn't just us guys and all of the girls were there with us, they may have made it better because it was the whole family their together. It has always been a hunting trip that we hunted deer and squirls, but this year my dad and brother was only planning to squirl hunt and I was planning to do both but, I forgot to buy my deer permit and then my mom forgot to bring it to me, so I was not able to do any bow-hunting. I did kill a lot of squirls and because I wanted to kill something with my new bow and it couldn't be a deer I took a stealth walk through the woods and stuck a squirl with my bow. It was possible the best shot of the year.

THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY ATTIC--Mercer Mayer

--What where you afraid of as a young child?
As a young child I really wasn't afraid of much anything that I can think of. I was one of those kids that wanted to be like my father and brother that always seemed so brave and manly to me. I never was afraid of the dark or anything in it, except that the fact that there could be someone there that would hurt me or my family. I have always been a dare devil and wanted to do dangerous things that the majority would be horrified of. I have had fears that something would happen to someone in my family, we are closer that any other family I have ever been around. If something happened to any one of them it would change everything and a large piece of me would be lost forever, never to regain. But all in all what I am afraid of or is my biggest fear would be something happening to my family. I would rather something happen to me than to one of them because I don't want to see anything happen to them. This is selfish of me but I don't want anything to happen to them.

—Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.—Elizabeth Lawrence

So what is autumn to you?
—To me autumn is a time of peace, relaxation, enjoyment, and a time to just let your worries go and sit in the woods and take in the nature around you. To me autumn reminds me of squire hunting and deer hunting (bow season). I love to hunt with my brother and dad and these are two seasons that are in during the fall. Every fall we take a trip to LBL (Land Between the Lakes) to squire hunt and do a little bow hunting as well. We take this trip for a little father-to-son and brother-to-brother time. When I am deer hunting up in my tree it is so nice to watch the surrounding around me, take in the nature and watch the animals roam as I sit unnoticed. When I am squire hunting I will do the same except that I am on the ground sitting usually leaning up against a soft mossy log or tree. Sitting around the camp fire at night as the cool air roles in is so relaxing and comfortable. The fall camping trip is the best, it is a time that I can have nature to myself something that is good to maintain or insure manhood, so says the book Wild At Heart, which I recommend for any guy to read when becoming a man.

Reading the Writing on the Wall

The Vast Majority of people in Chaucer’s time could not read or write. How would you life be different if you could not read or write.
—If I could not read or write I would feel that something very significant is missing in my life. I have always enjoyed reading books that I was interested in, but didn’t read very often, usually just at school; but recently I have taken it up to the point that about any spare time I have that is what you would find me doing. I believe that reading expands your imagination which will help you understand things better when reading and will improve when you are writing something for school. If I didn’t have the skills to read and write I would not be able to write my girlfriend letters that will make her feel better when she is down or just to tell her how I feel. Also if I couldn’t read then I wouldn’t be able to read her letters as well. People may say that we don’t read or write very often, but you are doing it when you don’t even realize it, such as when you are driving down the road, you are reading signs to know where to go or what the laws of the road are in that particular area. Very important in our daily lives today.
