Your Favorite Song

Authors Note: This paragraph is about my favorite artist and song. It also tells you why I like the certain song/ artist.

                 My favorite music artist is lonely island. They have many great songs. My favorite is Jack Sparrow and Great Day. The songs that they write are funny and really weird. The group is on SNL a lot and that’s when I first saw them.

Your Favorite Cartoon/ If You Could Make A Cartoon

Authors Note: This is about my favorite cartoon, and why I like it.

My favorite cartoon is Family Guy. I like the humor that they use and the way they have the shows set-up. I don't have a favorite episode because all of the episodes are equaly funny. I suggest to watch Family Guy because if you like comedy, then Family Guy is right for you.

Vietnam, Based Of A true Story

BOOM! Goes a bomb in Vietnam. The whole reason this war started was because north Korea wanted control over south Korea. Thousands lost their lives in that war. And it was all because of north Korea. This story is based off of a man, and a dog in that war. It’s an amazing story mixed with humor, tragedy, and basically a good war story.

In the story the dog, whose name is cracker, lives with a family in a mid-sized apartment. The apartment manager said that the family had to get rid of the dog. The family had raised the dog from day one. The boy of the family wants to keep the dog but he can’t. the family had ran out of time to find another family but the month had ended. They had no other choice. They called the U.S. Army to take Cracker, (the dog). So the son left the house on the weekend because he couldn’t bare seeing Cracker being taken away.

When Cracker was taken away the men brought Cracker to California. There many trainers tried her out, but she kept biting them. Finally the “worst” dog handler got assigned to her. They quickly became friends, and went from the worst dog team to what some said, the best that they have. Then once boot camp was over with the pair went to Nam. Once the two of them got there they had to set up camps and make shelters for the dogs. Then once camp was finished Rick (the handler) and Cracker finally got to go on a mission.

The mission went well, no-one got hurt/ injured and they found quite a bit of traps. Then after doing many regular missions with big groups, and small the pair was assigned a classified mission because the sergeant said they the two were the best of the best. So when they went on the mission, they rescued the P.O.W.’s and returned back safely, then in about one hour they had to go on a regular mission. On that mission they had to check out some huts, but then………

Gun shots started to ring out 2 people were killed and Cracker was gone. Rick wanted to look for Cracker but just couldn’t find her. He had to give up. But he was too busy looking for Cracker to notice he was shot. He had to return to America. And he was waiting for Cracker to be found.

Cracker woke up with a bright light in her eyes. She was on a table, and her legs fell asleep. Once she gained strength, she bolted. She ran as fast as she could but she didn’t know where to go. Then she just ran into the jungle, and didn’t stop until she didn’t hear any voices. She survived for a week, hunting chickens and running, then just when the war ended the men were being sent home but then the sergeant wanted to delay the flight, because he knew something was going to happen.

Then he saw Cracker, and she saw him. They were both with each other until they got back to the U.S. Cracker got back to Rick and they stayed with each other, Willie (the first owner) was able to visit whenever he wanted. And Rick got a medal, a purple heart for surviving the war with an injury and all went well………

Patriots Pen

        Are you proud of your country? Here are some facts that will have you like this country, but some of these facts might make you dislike some things of this country. The first thing that came to my mind when I had to write about this topic was Barrok O’Bama.

        I believe that Barrok O’Bama may be the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. When he was first elected, I didn’t think that he would be bad. But now his days are coming to an end. I know that he’s going to try to be elected again, but no one will vote for him.

        Some reasons why Barrok O’Bama is so bad, is because he has made this economy stink. I guarantee that O’Bama won’t be elected again, because he has led this country to a bad economy. He also shut down all funding to NASA and canceled all of the flights. Not only has he shut them down, but then he went to the last flight in Florida. He needed to get extra bodyguards to go to the last shuttle launching.

        Some good things about our country are our great cultures, and that we allow any religion/ race in this country. We have helped millions in the Afghanistan war. Another thing that makes us so great is that no matter what part of the country that you are in, we will help fight for you.

        America has also helped hundreds of natural disasters around the world. We have help millions upon millions and still haven’t stopped helping people around the world. All in all, I think that this country is still the best country in the world because we have helped so many people.

        Some of the greatest things that happened for this country, and, some of the worst things that have happened to our country. One of THE WORST things that has happened was 9/11. Many people died that day in the terrorist attack. Many more would have died if the plane that was supposed to hit the pentagon, had hit the pentagon then 9/11  would’ve easily been the worst disaster in history.

        Some of the best things are like when the empire state building was being built, the economy was booming. It was booming, pretty much because of all the immigrants. New York City, was like the promise land. There were many jobs opened. Also in that time many people were trying to get the biggest building in the world. When the Empire State Building was finished, it was the biggest building in the world.

        Those things are what makes this country so great, and those things are what make this country bad. I would rather live in this country, than any other country in the whole entire world. Hopefully soon we will have a good economy. Because when we do have a good economy, we will most likely be the best country in the world. Please post a comment below.

Lamborghini Embalado

Authors Note: I chose this topic because I like all type of lamborghini's, but this one really caught my eye, and I love this one because it's so unique.

                The project idea came from the designer’s dream to work as a designer for Lamborghini; a very natural desire, since he lives in Modena, just a few kilometers away from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

I think this car is very Cool and unique, and I doubt that there is a car like this one, and I doubt there ever will be a car like this one. This car can reach 398 mph for its top speed. When I grow up I would like to get this car.. It is a very nice car and I think a lot of people would like it. It costs about 100,000 dollars.

This is not a car that you will see many people driving it. I have never seen this kind of Lamborghini in real life so I don’t know how much mph it gets so when I grow up I’m going to need to find that out to see if the car’s worth it. If I get enough money to own this car, then I will wash the car and polish it every 2 weeks. Then I would like to customize this car so that it won’t be like any other that you will ever see.

Some things that I would add to it is butterfly doors, because they don’t open like a regular car, they open up words. I would have a good stereo system in m car to be able to listen to music better. I would add a nitro tank to make it be able to go even faster. I would want to race this car in friendly competitions with my friends and other people.

I think that more people should have this car because it’s a very interesting. Lots of people customize cars like this to put their own personal touch to it. You could also change the color of your car to sky blue, or cherry red, and also Coca-Cola Trademark Red. I want this car to be around more, so please consider getting this car.
