My Favorites

My favorite book I have ever read was The Hunger Games. I really enjoyed this book because it was full of action and it made you feel for the characters. My favorite movie was The Hunger Games because it was based off my favorite book and the actors fit their characters very well. My favorite song is Party Rock Anthem. It is my favorite because the song is upbeat and is very thrilling to listen to.

Pretty Please!

Dear most beloved Coach Ashmore,
    As you might know from Mrs. Waters pestering you non-stop The Hunger Games has come to the Ritz. I would like to go to this movie Friday. We really need a break after taking the TAKS and representing this school well. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take us.
              Your favorite student,

Years On the Computer

It was Friday night and Darrel had no plans for the whole weekend. He decided he would spend yet another weekend home bound and on the computer. His parents wanted Darrel to get a life so they downloaded this program to encourage him to stay off of it. While Darrel was in the middle of a raid on one of his online multiplayer games, a pop-up came on the screen and told him to get off. He rejected it hastily because he was at a very important part of his attack. Minutes passed by and he was about to kill the boss dragon when another pop-up popped up. This time it asked hi to log off because he had been logged on for a year. He actually hadn't but the program was supposed to humiliate him for being on his computer so much. He clicked "yes" and went to talk to his parents. They created a time table for him to play on the computer, but when his limit was reached he had to get off. This helped Darrel improve on his grades and become a hard-working student.
