Jason and the mysterious book

Jason was in Mrs. Garvin's classroom when he was asked by Mrs. Garvin "Would you like to go to the Library?" "Of course!," Jason announced cheerfully. He went to library, which had a lot of choices at Patton middle school. Books, DVDs, audio-books, and more were there. Jason loved books, but he wanted a new book to read for Mrs. Sudimak's literacy class. He spotted a book called *A collection of books of mystery and magic*. He took the book, went up to the counter and told the lady his lunch number, which was 000893, to check out his book. He walked back to Mrs. Garvin's class thinking about Pokemon. He took a look at the book and found out it was a Pokemon book. He then thought about Sherlock Holmes and it turned into a Sherlock Holmes mystery! "This book was called a collection of books of magic and mystery, this turns into those type of books when you think of them!," Jason thought. A bystander named Ryan saw the book transform and told his friends who needed a reading book. The friends walked up to Jason and asked him "Can be barrow that book?". Jason was annoyed so he said "No, this mysterious book should be donated to scientests." The friends went to their lockers, took out their IPhone 6's and texted to every other kid who had a cell phone in the school about it. At Literacy, he had to read a book, so he had no choice but to make the book transform and wait till hawk time to tell Mrs. Rafferty, the librarian. After Mrs. Facenda's science class, when he went to his locker at hawk time, everyone asked poor Jason about the book and threatened to take it away. "Hey kid, I'll take that wicked book!" they all said in rude tones of voice. Scared, Jason scrambled tumultuously to the library. The book was Charlie and the chocolate factory when he got to the library. He went to the front desk and told the lady about it. When she held it and thought of a book, it turned into it. So the librarian Mrs. Rafferty and she shipped it to Penn state, for them to study it. Jason felt nice about doing the right thing afterwards.

Bad Tuesday

Freddy woke up on a Tuesday from a never ending week and stepped out of bed, and found out he had no clothes, so he had to walk naked to get new ones. His brother mocked him and took a picture of him. He got on new clothes and went to breakfast only to find he has to eat cucumbers and peas just to be "healthy". He found out his favorite toothpaste was out and he had to taste extra minty toothpaste to brush his teeth. Revolting!! Then he found out his mother couldn't drive to school even if he had a heavy French horn, a big brass instrument, on the bus where he had no room and was cramped, uncomfortable, and angry. He had P.E. for first period and his gym clothes reeked so all the other kids including Mr. Matts held their noses. "P.U. that smells awful!" the other kids said in unison. In second period, he had French, but he forgot all the words and the teacher was very disappointed. "I expect proper French in my class!" She hollored angrily. In third period, he found out he had to type 10 pages of and English essay and the teacher talked for half of the 42 minute period about it and told poor Freddy he had to do it for homework if he didn't finish, which is exactly what happened. In fourth period math, the teacher gave him really hard math problems and gave them for homework. At lunch, he got into a food fight. Ketchup, mustard, and sandwiches flew all over the table and he got a detention. In literacy, he forgot to read the Hobbit over the weekend, which set him back making him read it in just 48 hours. "Do you know anything about Bilbo Baggins?" the teacher asked in disgust after finding out. He had a band lesson and had to skip social studies, but he got all the notes wrong and Mr. O-Roarke made him practice for 40 minutes a night. "Why are you not working hard enough?" He asked. In science, he arrived late after the instrument lesson and Mrs. Faccenda unfortuntley had to give a tardy for him. In hawk time, he had a band rehearsal and had no time for homework. Then for detention, he went in and the teacher yelled "Ok, get in your seats and be quiet!!!!" He had lots of homework and only finished a bit when his mom picked him up and screamed at him. He finished most of his homework but no time to play because he had to eat dinner, (Broccoli, asparagus, rotten tomatoes, etc.) and go to a boy scouts meeting, where he spent the rest of the time till bed.

He went to bed, turned of the lights, and a voice yelled "How do you like it?" Freddy yelled at the top of his lungs "Who's there?!". "It's me, a witch who put a curse on you after you teased your sister, but now you have suffered enough. Now what have you got to say about it?" "I'm sorry I teased my little sister by breaking her barbie doll, I will never do it again. And I admit that I deserved it after teasing my brother and sister multiple times in the past and it's just wrong of me." Freddy said sympatheticly. "Thanks, I am greatful to give you a better day." The witch answered cheerfully. With that she disappered in the night like a crow in pitch black. The next day, Freddy had no homework, no tardies, and clean gym clothes. He felt great and his brother had a bad day because of the picture from earlier. In fact, his brother suffered through everything Freddy did.

The robot man

In a dysfunctional town named Dimension world, there are more problems than being just dysfunctional. There are criminals, frauds, and even an evil corperation attacking this town. But there is a solution. A scientest, Dr. Albert Davidson, designed something big. A robot that looked like a human, speaked like a human, but had awesome powers and was very intelligent. He could do the following, but not limited to, taking himself apart, having mircrobots to spy on people, do a dance no human can accomplish, fly, change his voice, have a robotic hand that can shoot out and punch people, and a bunch of others we don't need to mention. His name was Manny. He would be able to do anything. After being built, the scientists turned him on. He abruptly got up and new things. Things that were processed in his computer brain. He said "Hello, Dr. My name is Manny."

It was incredible, thought Dr. Davidson. Manny was escorted to the police station. He knew his powers and how to use them. He also knew when to spot a criminal. Then all the sudden, there was an armed person steeling from an ATM! He used his flying ability to get to the scene. He got handcuffs in his hand, and spot out his hand like a rocket. His hand reached his foe, and then he used it to cuff the person. The police took care of the rest afterwards. Manny kept on doing it, arresting crooks, making sure no-one escaped jail, and more. He had a night shift too, but he all the sudden discovered that someone was trying to steel a painting! Immediately, he flew into the night to the museum. There was an armed man just inches away from getting the precious item, but then Manny caught him. He yelled "Let that go!" The man immediately ran, but Manny followed.

The man got in the car and sped off. Manny chased the car in the night, but the man had a car that could fly! But Manny caught up to the car and snuck up on the driver. But the driver punched him off. Manny fell, but his flying saved him. He thought of something. He went up to the gas container, and let almost all the gas out. The car flew a bit, but then it fell down. Manny saved the man, but it was just to cuff him. He was sentenced in jail after a tumultuous court case. Dr. Davidson was proud and told Manny "Wow, you're a huge problem solver!' Then Manny replied back "Yeah, no wonder I was needed. I mean, that guy had a flying car for heavens sake!" The town officially had a new idol and was proud of it. Manny would continue to protect the town, in an inhumane way (Get it?).

Prequel to Jason and the mysterious book
In the 10th of October in 1867, a 27 year old man named Tom was in the heart of a Pennsylvania forest. He was hunting for deer. Lots of deer. He approached a tree to take a rest. Beside him was a book with a brown cover with no title except for the words "DO NOT OPEN!" Without opening the book, he brought it back to his cabin. Now, Tom kept a journel with a cover as brown as a grizzly bear. He opened it and wrote in his journel, "I found this book in the deep forest. It was no ordinary book. It had a title with the message *Do not open!"* With that, Tom closed his journel and took the book to the village. In the village, there was a librarian named Harold. Tom brought the book there and explained to Harold about the book.

Harold was a 28 year old young man. "It had this title and I suspect its suspicious like it has important information." explained Tom. "Well, lets open and find out so that we know any funny business going on!" replied Harold. Then he opened the book tumultuously. A demon came out and did a generic roar at them. Tom and Harold screamed genericly. A witch came out along with a devil, an evil wizard, a goblin, a cyclops, and a giant snake. The goblin took the book and threw it out the window, and he followed the rest of the monsters trying to kill Tom and Harold. "Lets build a community out of this wasteland!" the wizard announced. "Oh, were doomed." Harold sighed. Then Tom had a process of thought. "The book, Harold, we have to get to it before its too late!" he yelled. They had to get the book and fast because the monsters were already destroying the town. Screams and yells filled the area. Meanwhile, Tom and Harold climbed out the window and found the same brown book with the "DO NOT OPEN". "I thought that if we open the book, the foul creatures will go in!" Tom said quickly. "I thought the same thing!" replied Harold. Tom carried the book and went into the heart of the village. They saw and approached the goblin. "You fools won't get to me!" he said in a rude manner and ran from them. Tom tackled the goblin, opened the book on top of him, and he was sucked in. Tom and Harold were right. Harold took the book and silently hid. He approached the devil and was fast enough to tackle him, but got hurt when he finally sucked him in. 2 down, 5 to go.

They came up with a distraction plan with the demon. Harold stood and talked to the demon and when the demon approached him, Tom came behind with the book and he was sucked in. As for the cyclops, it was a giant. So Harold and Tom took spears and threw them at both his legs, which weakened the cyclops. He became so weak that he sat down to take care of them. Tom took a bow and arrow and shot the cyclops into its only eye. The cyclops howled in pain and Harold went up to its leg to have it sucked in. Keep in mind that he closed the book every time a monster was sucked in. Then came the giant snake. "How will we get that?" asked Tom. "Don't worry. we will do the game as the giant." Harold told him. So thet got more spears and shot the snake in the middle. The snake got weak, but it got on its belly and slid through town. The two both got bows and arrows and shot the snake in the head. The snake shriveled down and wasn't slithering, so Tom went up to its tail to suck into the book like a magnet, but at that moment, he noticed the witch casting a spell on Harold! She shot the spell, and Harold fell down in pain, unable to fight as if he had an immense cram in his body. He looked weak and devastated.

The witch and wizard were the only ones left, but the hardest. Tom ran and went to camp and called armed hunters, 2/3's of which had already deceased. The hunters followed Tom's command. A guy with red hair distracted the witch while George, one of Toms friends, held the book and captured the witch inside . The wizard was left and approached them. The hunters practiced another tumultuous distracting plan, but the distracting guy was killed in one immense shot by the wizard's horrid magic and Tom was approached. So he jumped up, and tackled the wizard before he could cast a spell, and the book sucked the wizard in like a hero who got a trophy and posed with the prize.

Tom remembered Harold, went went over to him as fast as the road runner and he spoke weakly "Are we OK?". Those were his last words. Harold had died silently. But what happened with the book? Well, Tom went to his house, held the book, and thought of a fairy tale. The book immediately became that book. He opened it and no monsters came out. Just pages about Cinderella, Snow white, and more princess stories. He created a new title called "A collection of books of magic and mystery" with a warning on the bottom saying "Do not open when it shows *A collection of books of magic and mystery"*. He had children that he told the story to and passed the book on. More than a 100 years had passed and his very great grandson brought the book to the Patton Middle school library for donation. The next day, a boy named Jason checked the book out.

Improvement

In a small town in Kentucky, there lived a boy named Sammy. He lived with his poor mother and father. He often dreamed about getting better grades in school because in his 6th grade year, he got some bad grades, but still a passing one to make it to the 7th grade. That last year, in math, he got a overall D+, in English, a C+, a B+ in social studies, a C+ in literacy, and a B- in Science. He constantly had conversations with his parents deciding on getting better grades, but it never happened at all, but he did get a decent grade in Science, and a good but not great grade in Social studies. One reason he failed math last year was because he didn't study very much. Another reason was that he never fully understood how to find perimeter and how to multiply and divide fractions, He knew he had to improve in math especially after getting a D+ on pre-algebra. "I have to improve immensely after stinking in math." he told his parents. "You definietly should improve because we except more than a D+ this year because it is not acceptable." they told Sammy. Sammy was determined. In the first 2 weeks of the year, he was nervous for a test in pre-algebra. In the other subjects, he wasn't looking too bad. In math after school, he studied. In math class throughout the two weeks, he studied so much he ran out of paper. He also studied a lot in English and literacy. Another 2 weeks later, there was the test in math. Sammy had waited for this moment after so much study Night before the test, he thought, "Can I actually pull this off after studying? The problems are much more difficult than this easy, generic work!". Sammy had his doubts, but he had already studied tumultuously. He studied overwhelmingly hard about numbers and letter that on the day of the test, he was just barley ready.The teacher, Mr. Cross, yelled, "OK, immense test, I hope you've learned from your mistakes, Sammy!". During the test, there were problems with negative numbers. Barrels of them. He checked and scanned his work 3 times. He completed the test and handed it in slowly but surely. The next day, he looked and scanned at his desk in math and found a solid golden A+ on his test.

Moral: Study hard, and you can succeed in school.

## **Marking period 2:**

In the city of North-brook Ilinois, there was a boy named Thomas Turner. Thomas was in 6th grade and he was a total trouble maker. He would do pranks in school, out of school, in pubic, and more. In 1st grade, he brought a remote controlled rat for show and tell. In Second grade, he made plastic cacoons for a butterfly project, which made everyone think the cataplilar died. In third grade, he wrote his english essay about space exploration using grammar of the 1700s. In 4th grade, he made up his own country in a project of studying countrys, and in fifth grade, he snuck into the office and used the intercom before morning announcments. His pranks and jokes were hated by everyone and he was always punished for it. The punishments were usually video-game bans and no TV. But in 6th grade, things would be different. When he entered North-Brook junor high on September 4th, 2003, he immediatley started hating middle school. He was told about getting good grades in English, Math, and Science or else. He didn't like the faculty because they stressed him about grades. He got a F on an English story for using curse words for diologe. He got busted in computer class for calling the computers "the slowest and dumbest in the world". In Math, he got a detention for saying that geomotrey was "boring and useless".
After a whole month went by, he was starting to get sick of school. Then he thought of brilliant idea and smiled like the Grinch's wide smile. He would go into the school and vandalize it to "teach the teachers a lesson". He would dress up as a kid in the school he hated, George Hamilton. He hated him because he got better grades and showed them off. He told lies to his parents before doing it. "OK, I will take a bike ride to the store" he said merrily. "OK, Thomas, but you better not shop lift" his Mom told him. Thomas got out of the house, and ducked behind a bush to put on a wig of black hair, some face make up to make it look like George, and ordinary clothes. He hid a spray can and rode over to the school. It was 5:09 in the afternoon and the door was still open. He hide on a hallway, and sprayed on the the wall without anyone watching, "King George Hamilton is the coolest guy on Earth". After that, he went to an empty classroom which belonged to his english teacher, and looked through her files. He wrote mean comments on the tests yet to be graded, saying "Ha, Ha, Nerd!". He flipped the desks, tore textbooks, and even worse. He repeated this in empty rooms and eventually left the building. He got home and went to sleep. He got to school in the morning and an announcement came up on the intercom. "Someone vandalized this school. From our recent studies, we suspect George Hamilton. So may George Hamilton come to the office". Thomas saw George go to the office looking nervous and trembly.

George's side:

"I didn't cause the vandalism!" George protested as the principal showed the security video of the incident. "Well George, the evidence of the vandalism points to you and only you!" the principal stated in a no nonsense way. "But this might be one of Thomas's tricks disguising as me!" George shouted. "WELL THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT HE DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The principal exploded, infuriated, and had enough of the commotion. "George Hamilton" he said demanding, "You have been suspended from this school for 2 weeks." George had tears filled in his eyes. There was no evidence to the principal that Thomas did it, but to George, he did. He got a huge punishment from his screaming Mom and dad. He would be grounded from his play station 2 until Christmas and would have to do all his homework without any breaks, which stressed George out. He needed evidence that Thomas did it. But where was he going to find it??

3 WEEKS LATER

"May I go to the bathroom?" "Yes you may, George." George needed to go to the same bathroom that a white immense sheet covered that horrid graffti. After washing his hands, he went to go leave, but then he spotted some sort of blue cylinder. He decided to look at what that thing was, when he found what it really was: A spray can. He picked it up to see it. He turned the cylinder, and found 2 words engraved: **Thomas Turner**. That guess was so easy! He knew that Thomas was obviously his prime suspect. When he got back to class, the rest of the lesson sounded like the adults in Peanuts going "Wah, wah, wah" over and over again because he was thinking of how he was going to prove that Thomas did it. "But wait, wasn't there that security video?" George thought as he was thinking. He needed that video. Instantly.

"Heres is this spray can with these words: **Thomas Turner**" George showed the principal. "That's fake evidence, George, you must've wrote that yourself." the principal said concerned. Now George needed the tapes. "Oh, may I have the secrurity tapes of the vandalism?" George asked. "George, those tapes is private information and cannot go into your hands." the principal answered. "But you showed some of it to me earlier!" George protested. "Well, that was only a little of it and the rest is only for us to see, and by us, I don't mean you! You got in so much trouble after that and that is another reason this isn't going into your hands. NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE BEFORE I GIVE YOU DETENTION!" The principal was on fire in this conversation. But George, even feeling dejected, knew he wouldn't give up. The principal had shut him out trying to make things right. Now he was going to have to strike back.

Thomas's/George's side 2:

"Family meeting, everyone!" Thomas's mom had always made some family meetings whenever some things needed changes. But big changes were going to happen today. Thomas's dad, mom, sister Nancy, and Thomas were all at the dinning room. "So, everyone, welcome to our meeting." The meeting had been pretty boring talking about pluming issues, homework management, and more when finally, his mom finally had an important conversation "So, Thomas, you know how you've been up to your tricks, right?" "Yes." Thomas said in a bored way. "Well, one more prank I get info about, and you will be in so much trouble, it won't be a pretty sight, got that?" said orderly. "Got that?" "Yes." Thomas said. Suddenly, something hit him. He caused a hoax of people thinking George doing the vandalism even though George was innocent. Thomas was eventually going to get busted for it soon. He stated to know that he needed to be honest in order to get out of this hole. Yes, it will involve lots of yelling, but he knew he had to stand up for his arch enemy here. He was going to do the right thing for the first time ever.

Thomas got back to school on Monday and didn't even listen to what each teacher says. He was thinking of how he was going to prove that he did it. He knew that George wasn't going to want to talk to him and he so far didn't have any evidence of it. He knew that he wouldn't be able to just tell the principal that he did it. He asked if he could go to the bathroom, the teacher answered yes, and Thomas was off to the bathroom that he vandilized to search for some evidence that pointed to Thomas. He found that the graffiti he made on the wall was gone and he searched for the alternative evidence, the spray can. He searched anywhere it could be, but it was nowhere to be found. He left the bathroom, luckless, and looked at the lockers and the students. That moment, George was called to the office to be picked up, and George dashed out of his classroom and packed his backpack. When George opened his bag, Thomas saw a spray can with the engraved: **Thomas Turner.** "George, I know that you're trying to bust me, but now I want to get busted, we need to team up!" Thomas shouted when he saw the spray can. "You're bluffing, you were the one that ruined my life in the first place" George said looking angry. "Look, George, we've never been friends before, but I found out that what I did was wrong. We must show the principal that I did it. I'm sorry I commited the crime and framed you, but for the first time, I want to do the right thing and even though they don't know that i did it, I just feel bad about it." Thomas said. "But, won't you get into so much trouble if you confess" George said, looking confused. "I know that I will get into trouble if we succeed, but I just want to do the right thing for once." Thomas answered. "So, should we do it?" "OK, Thomas, we will be partners, but not friends." George sighed. Thomas proceeded back to the classroom. George went to the office thinking about how odd it was to work together with Thomas Turner to try to bust Thomas Turner. But he was still for it. The next Saturday, George asked, "Can I got to Thomas Turner's house?" His mom was concerned at the question. "Stay away from Thomas, I don't care if you want help on homework." Homework, George started thinking. He needed to lie to be able to go to the Turners house. "You know, on Friday there was a partner selection for an english project and Thomas and I paired up. We agreed to work and help each other and meeting is our only hope of getting it done on time. It counts for a lot of our grade." "OK, George, only if you two help each other and get things done peacefully." his mom sighed. "YES!" George thought. He walked through the cold air to the Turners' house.

He rang the doorbell. Thomas opened and saw George. He took George to Thomas's bedroom and closed the door. "OK, George, you know that spray can in your backpack?" "Yeah, Thomas, the principal didn't believe me when I showed it to him." George answered. "Yeah, we have to find a way to get evidence that I did it, and the first adult that should know this is the principal, so have you got any ideas?" Thomas asked. "Steal the tapes showing the vandalism." George answered.

One small cause, one big effect

On Tuesday July 15, a 14 year old teen, Joe, was sitting in his room playing "Star wars Battlefront" on his PS4 when he heard a very irritated voice say "Joe, come down here and clean our window!" It was his Dad and Joe sighed as he shut off the system and come down to work. He found out he had to clean a window that the family dog, Tom, had peed on. "UGH!" Joe sighed as he advanced to clean the whole window. After working for 5 minutes, he got so angry that he took a baseball bat and slugged the window in annoyance. The large window cracked and glass fell in Joe's horror and his Dad quickly went over to see what the ruckus was. When he saw the horrifying sight, he yelled "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and proceded to ask Joe. "You did this, you did this." Joe nodded. "Well Joe, no video games until this damaged glass is paid for and it will cost you $250!" "WHAT!" Joe exclaimed in disbelief. He had gotten himself in a bad spot. He needed to work it out.

Ding Dong! Joe rang the door bell. He needed money, and this was his first try of getting money to pay for the glass. He was going to work for Mr Street. "Hello,Joe,hows it going?" Mr. Street said cheerfully. "Hello Mr. Street, I was wondering, is there any chores I can do to earn money?" Joe asked. "Well, since it's 9:30 and I'm leaving at 10:00 to go on a trip to Ikea/Laundry place and I will be back at around 4:30, so I need someone to look after my Doberman." Mr. Street said. "Really?!" Joe said excitedly. "I will pay you $50 but only if you show effort, you don't let anything bad happen to the dog, and clean up after him. They were inside Mr. Streets immense house with blue walls everywhere and Joe watched as Mr. Street made a long list of what to do with the Doberman and what not to do and laid out some snacks in the kitchen. "Bye Joe, take care!" Mr. Street said as he closed the door to proceed to his car. Joe looked at the Doberman that got very tired and fell to sleep. "Yes!!" Joe thought. With the Doberman asleep, he could do whatever he wants. He put the Doberman in his cage, turned on the TV, and started watching a R rated fim his parents won't let him watch until he heard some barking and he knew who was causing it. The Doberman was barking in his cage, wanting to eat. "OK, here's some food knock yourself out." he grumbled as he slapped a bowl of dog food in the cage. He proceded to watch the R rated movies, Family guy, and more inappropriate stuff. He stole tons of chocolate from the pantry to eat. At 12;00, he was getting tired of the barking and carrying on he was hearing and he went to the cage and saw poop and pee. "Ugh, get out of here!" he carried the Doberman to the back yard and slammed the door. He went back to watching MA rated TV shows and at 3:00, he went to check on the Doberman. He went to the back yard and he saw that the Doberman was gone. He went to his garage, got his bike, and went on the streets to try to find him. He heard some barking, looked into the persons yard, and found a sheltie. He needed to find a Doberman, so he looked in the next door neighbors yard, nothing. And the next. Nothing. He looked in his yard eventually, and heard some barking. He saw a Doberman with the tag on it. The same tag. Both Joe and the Doberman went back to the house. He remembered that instant that he forgot to get the key! He hoplessly knocked on the door. Someone opened the door. Mr. Street! He said angrily "No $50 for you!" then he slammed the door. From that exprierence, Joe learned to be less lazy all the time.

The gamer and the knight:

One day of harmony, a teen named Eric played a game,
a game with a knight and a lion to tame,
on his X-box one he played this game,
and he was very excited to finish.

He got to the last level of it,
he was not one bit bored to finish the game.

Then all the sudden in a crack,
the knight he was playing broke his back and looked dead.

Even more suddenly, there was a shift
we was teleported very ominously in a swift.

He found himself in a knight costume looking like a hero,
but he stared in horror at the things ahead of him:
a dead knight, and a humungous dragon.

He took the golden sword in front of him and charged at the dragon,
but the dragon attacked him with his fire breath.

He felt a weird teleportation, but he saw the same things in front of him afterwards:
His costume, his sword, the dead knight and the humungous dragon.

He immediately ran to the back of the dragon with the sword, but the dragon turned around and stomped on Eric. Eric teleported again and saw the exact same things. "I'm stuck in a time loop!" Eric screamed, freaking out. He scrambled and looked for the weapons the knight was holding when he was alive. Suddenly, he found the shield and some rechargeable poison as the dragon stormed toward Eric and breathed fire and Eric was back to the same spot. He immediately found the stuff and as the dragon followed, he threw poison like a basketball. It missed the dragon, and before Eric knew it, he was back to where he started. He looked in his pockets and found a sleeping spell. With his shield, he ran trying to be as fire proof as possible. He got to the dragon's tail and hopped on. He used his sword to stay put on it by stabbing it it. The dragon shreaked in fury and shook. Eric tried everything to stay on and when the tail wagged less, he took the sword out and dashed up and stuck it on the bottom of his back and hung on for dear life as the dragon shook once more. When the dragon calmed down, it lied down to sleep (From breathing in the sleep potion he left) in a position Eric was able to walk. He abandoned the big sword and checked his pockets, but only found the stuff he brought: The shield, and the poison. He looked furted and found a dagger! He walked silently on the Dragons back and reached the top of his head. He put on a mask also found in the pocket and put it one so that he won't breath in fire. He got right over the mouth and with his gloves, he opened the dragon's mouth and inserted the poison liquid. The dragon still did not get up due to the sleep potion. "It worked!" Eric thought. He would only have too long to live. Eric needed to finish the dragon off, so he crept to where he abandoned the sword and took it out. The dragon woke up in a jolt and screeched in pain. Eric put the sword inside about where it last was. The Dragon tried to shake it off, and Eric had to use his feet to hold on. He removed the sword and reinserted and did so until he reached the top of the dragon's back. He waled to the Dragons very neck and stabbed his sword through. The Dragon screeched and Eric even used his dagger for another hole through the dragon's neck. He stabbed and used his foot to make the sword go deeper until it went all the way through and the dragon made on more cry, collapsed, and died. Immediately, Eric felt a little transport as he was transported back to the bedroom. And he saw the stats of finishing the level and felt glad he was back to where he was.

Thomas Turner dressed up as his enemy George Hamilton vandalized the school. George got suspended for 2 weeks. George later finds a spray can engraved the words **Thomas Turner**. He shows it to the principal, who refuses to believe it and also refuses to give up surveilence tapes of the vandilism. Thomas listens at a family meeting that he will get into trouble if he does one more bad thing like a prank. Thomas decides to do the right thing and tell the principal first rather than his parents that he did the vandilism. He must prove it however. He teams up with George and the two brainstorm on how they will prove to the principal that Thomas commited the crime..............................

"Steal the tapes showing the vandilism" George answered. "Of course, we need to get that tape in a complex way." Thomas agreed. "And here is my plan." Goerge said. "So next week, we lie to our parents that we'll be working together on a school project/other homework and be back at 6:30 sharp. During that week before, we go on a scavenger hunt to find where the tapes really are. If anyone asks what were doing, we lie. We must avoid the principal, get past matneince, and find the true location. If we fail to find the tape, you can just try to confess. If we spot it, then we come back to try to steal the tape later. Once we have the tape, we re watch it and then if we find your diguise at all wobbly, we can spot it and make a VHS where we tell the principal the truth, we send it to his office, and accomplish our mission. Hows that sound?" Thomas agreed it was a brilliant plan and one of the best that he's ever heard in his life.

The next day, they were at school and they met at 3:30 at the school building. They looked in the window of the principal's office as he was talking on the phone and they heard, "OK Jerry, you clean up the cafeteria, but remember that some secrurity tapes need to be disposed like the ones from September and October on Saturday. They are in room 003 where your equipment is." he paused, but Thomas jotted it down so that they can find room 003 and get to the tape by Friday. On Tuesday, they went down to room 003 and looked through the window. Jerry was in the room, but the room was the messiest room ever. There was an 80s TV with a cracked screen, a 60s creepy doll, some old brooms, a bunch of boxes, etc. They knew they must look at the boxes for the tape. They waited for 20 minutes Jerry still wouldn't leave. They flee the building, and meet again on Wednesday with black coats and went down to room 003 once again. They looked though the window and Jerry was gone! They couldn't believe it. Not even a much as a mouse hole. They snuck inside the dark room with a pile of junk. "OK, lets look." George whispered as they looked through. Thomas checked a box, that contained only highlights. George checked a crate, only to find it was full of pants from the lost in found. They looked on and on in boxes only to find worthless junk until they checked an unlabeled box, saw black rectangles. George and Thomas got giddy. They turned it backwards, only to find that it was a tape labeled, "The empire strikes back". Still hopeful, they looked at more tapes, but no success, because they only found movies like "Back to the future part 2", "Toy story", "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", "Batman & Robin", and a bunch of other movies that did not contribute to their ultimate quest. They finally settled for the last wooden crate. They opened it, and it showed VHS. "Yes!" George and Thomas whispered in unison. They turned them over, and saw dates. They dug down to the ones from the past. They dug, until they saw a tape that had the date 10-9-2003 and indicated it was after school hours. "The day of the vandalism!" Thomas exclaimed. The worst was yet to come, that moment when someone was walking to the room. "Jerry!" George whispered in terror. Thomas and George hid behind a cabinet at the far corner of the room. Jerry opened the door, and sat down at the chair at the middle of the room. "Ah, time to take a break" Jerry sighed as he got a VHS tape of The Phantom Menace and put it in. George and Thomas were cramped in the corner, trying to breath and prayed Jerry to just leave. At the part where the Jedi were escaping to Naboo, he sighed "Why do have to go now?" as he paused the tape and left the room. George and Thomas were relieved. They held on to the tape and quietly dashed out of the room, the school, and to home as they agreed to watch the tape the next day, but the tape would be in George's possession. On Thursday, George and Thomas were jumping out of their seats. They wanted to watch that tape badly, and they did not want to hear whatever the teacher was trying to say.

Ding, dong! Thomas was ringing on George's door. George opened the door, grabbed Thomas's sleve, and glided up the stairs to George's room, and closed the door. "OK, Thomas, I watched the tape all night last night searching for evidence that proves that you were wearing a disguise." George turned on his box 1990s TV set and resumed playing the tape. There it showed, Thomas in the not-so-paper-thin disguise walking in the hallways of the school and swung open the bathroom door. Thomas was shown swinging it over and about to rush into the bathroom when the tape started running very slowly until it went to a complete stop showing the image. "Did you see that, Thomas?" George asked. "Yes, my wig made a little jolt up." Thomas answered. George resumed the tape, until yet again, George slowed the tape down until a complete stop. "Ah, I see George, my wig went off, revealing my black hair!" They stared at the image that the principal did not catch and agreed to include in their video. On Friday afternoon, they met at George's house and filmed a video of the 2 erstwhile enemies explaining the video and how Thomas disguised himself. After they were finished, they made a VHS, put it in a case with the words: **Play me** written on it, then sent it to the office at school that Monday.

It was Riveting to find a VHS with the words "Play me" written on it for the principal. With his free time at 9:00, he decided to insert the tape in the VCR and play it. An image came on. A child's bedroom! The screen then showed 2 kids that he would never expect to be together. George Hamilton and Thomas Turner discussing the notorious incident at the school, the vandalism. "And to show that I, Thomas Turner, am guilty of framing George Hamilton and vandalizing your school, here is the video of security." Thomas was speaking at that time, and then played the tape. It showed what the principal thought to be George Hamilton and the video slowed down as it went into the bathroom and stopped. "See, this is where my wig jolted a little, revealing my black hair." Thomas played the tape again as it showed the bathroom door and then the figure came out of the bathroom then the tape stopped again. "This is where my wig almost completely came off, revealing what is me, which is the dark hair and face." The principal was shocked at everything that he was seeing. "I am indeed guilty, and I am sorry for my bad deed, and I wanted to tell you and team up with George to steal the tape showing this crime so that I can make it clear that I committed it. We will destroy the security tape like you want to have happen, so yeah, surprise!" Thomas was shocking the principal. The principal knew what he needed to do. "Will Thomas Turner report to the office." the principal said over the intercom. Thomas walked to the office and crept in. He and the principal started diccusing the tape that Thomas and George sent him. "So, you were the one behind this?" the principal was bursting with questions about the tape. Thomas knew he dragged himself to getting busted to show honesty, but the worst was yet to come. Thomas was sent home, with an angry mother screaching at him at how he was proven to be the one behind the vandilism. He was extremely close to losing an eardrum at his mom's yelling. He was told he was banned from his Play-station for 8 months and computer for 2 weeks but Thomas didn't care. When he went to school the next day, despite being hit hard with punishments, sat at the same table as George Hamilton. They became best friends officially.

Epilogue:

The tape showing George and Thomas was never shown again to anyone and destroyed in fire. George and Thomas became real partners for an English project and even invited each other to dinner. They had sleepovers, shared interests and much more. They were best friends, with a bad action that started it all.

**Marking period 3:**

**Caveman's typical day.**
**(Note: Nothing in this entry is real, just pretend, \*especially the credits\*)**

"OH, OH, OH!" Look in the woods back in 1000 BC at sunrise.There's a cavemen family. There's the father, OOH. There's the son, Oh. There's the mother Tee Tee. Then there's the sister Rika. "Rika, tge (fetch) huty (the) tonsez (Stones) gohyutgjf (of) Rtgrtgdsgtefdsf (Vulture) Maedtfg (Meat)." OHH calls out. Rika get's the large stones that can hold cooked Vulture meat (by fire) as OOH cuts it with the jghkife (Knife) and places the portions on the 4 stones. The family says their cave prayer, (with their made up religion) and starts to eat. They (unlike picky eaters today) loved their juicy, delicoius, and breathtaking Vulture meat. With the Vulture, they have their water. Oh and Rika go to cave school, Tee Tee sews cave clothes, and OHH goes to cave work to invest. Rika and Oh have packed lunches, which are a small cave bag of cooked bugs and a banana. Tee Tee has some Vulture leftovers for lunch as she sews cloth for cave clothes. OOH goes to wezewerz rtervez (National paper) to write the news. He was writing an article about a foot run car crashing on Stone (Stone) oare (Road). For lunch, OHH ate at Caveys to have Vulture burgers and French flies. After the family has their lunches, Oh and Rika learned about the history of their kind and learned about science, cave math, (OKA+EDSADR) and how to read. Once they were done with school, they rode the stone foot driven bus home and met Tee Tee, who had sewed a month's worth of clothes. Tee-Tee cooked fried Turtles with a dish of berries while waiting for OOH. Oh and Rika did their homework. Tee Tee set up the table with stone plates. Once OOH got home, the family finish the dinner, and then went to sleep in the den.

Once upon a time.....................No, this is no fairy tale. There are no faries, but this is kind of a fairy tail because it's fiction.

Anyway, there was a town in Arizona called Phoenix, I mean a city, sorry, and there lived a boy. His name was generic, Bob. Bob was a sports fan, (He loved the Arizona Cardinals) a movie fan, and loved to be creative. He wouldn't even pay attention in school. He would always daydream about his interests like Larry Fitzgerald (his favorite player), Animated films, and much more. He was much more better off doing that than doing school/homework at his local Middle School. But when summer came and it became close to 104 degrees in the Summer, playing outside was unbearable. Both having an outstanding time and trying not to be vunerable to a very big scorching sunburn, he started playing "Sonic the Hedgehog" on his old gaming system when his mother stormed up the stairs, snuck in the room, and pulled the plug of the TV. "Why did you do that to me during the free and harmony of the summer time?!" Bob screached at the top of his lungs. "Because, if you keep playing videogames, you will have no life, good education, or job. You also should get some fresh air and be a kid from the olden days! Leave this room now and never come back!" his Mom ranted. With a heavy sigh, he went downstairs to the living room. Bob slowly looked around the room. Suddenly, he spotted a picture of Steve Jobs and the Apple logo. Bob had known that apple was started in a garage. Suddenly, he had a thought.

**Inspired by olweus video**

A boy named Danny got out of his father's car. "Bye, Danny!" he said. Danny said nothing. He walked into the school and saw a boy jabbering about movies. "Oh yeah, the movie was great, it was so funny, like..." Danny walked up to the boy and said "Get a life, you idiot ultra nerd who will eventually live in your mommies house." The boy gave him a sad look and walked away. Danny went to his locker, retreived his stuff, and came to class. A boy walked up to Danny's desk and said "Did you do your homework?". Danny rudely answered "Buzz off and mind your own bussiness." According to Danny, school never changed. He walked down the hallway lonely after school to the bus. After the usual bus ride, he got back home, did homework, had dinner, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and got to his bed room. He was looking for his comb he lost that he needed for tomorrow. He went to the dresser drawer "Full of junk". There were fake noses, fake vomit, a bunch of other prank utensils, but no comb. Suddenly, he found a pair of black glasses. He all of the sudden remembered the nerds at school that he thought should get a life. "This will be a good demostration." Danny thought in an evil sort of way. The next morning, he did his morning routine.......with the glasses in his pocket. When he arrived at school, he went strait to his locker, where he found one of those kids with glasses. He put on the glasses and started doing an imitation of the kid. Suddenly, he saw black words around the kid's head, which were "Feeling stressed about homework, nervous" and "Thinking about how this big thug is imitating me" and also "Aces algebra and proud of it" . "Hey kid, I know that you are feeling stressed about homework, and nevous. You ace Algebra, and are proud of it. Your Grandmother just passes away a month ago." "Wait, how do you know all of this stuff?" the boy asked, confused. "I have no clue, I can read your mind, I can see your thoughts and feelings, I believe I am powerful." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The boy started screaming, and: ran away from Danny. "This is just a dream, a really improbable dream. I will be woken up by my mom in just a few minutes." Danny couldn't believe what was happening and started thinking this was just a dream. He walked down the hall looking very confused, until a girl in her teens slided up to him. "Morning!" she said. The perspectacles were looking into her mind. Danny learned that she was thinking about dodgeball, and felt a little stressed, but cheerful. "You are thinking about dodgeball, and are feeling stressed about homework but cheerful." Danny looked confused while the girl was bewildered. "Can you really read minds?" the girl asked. "I guess so." The girl looked in disbelief, then she let out a wail and fainted. Danny quickly walked away as she came to. Why was this happening, what is this, and how did it start occuring? Danny was getting overwhelmed. He took off the glasses he just remembered he had on as people were walking down the hall. He looked at the people without the glasses and saw no black words. "What the heck?" he thought. Then Danny realized that he really wasn't a god, and that the glasses had the power to look into peoples minds. Now he had to do something to the glasses. He thought of three options:

* Wear the glasses all the time to read peoples minds
* Show it to adults and make the glasses famous
* Break them in half and forget this whole thing happened

As Danny thought, he thought back to the boy and the girl. Both were stressed about homework. This was middle school, and 8th grade had to be tough, duh. He decided to have continue to wear the glasses to look into the other students. And he thought that if a lot of students were stressed, he would try to lead a group that will try to lower homework to make school a better place.

He got to class with the glasses on. For how many students out of the 26 person class were stressed, Danny counted 6. This was even worse than Danny thought. He needed to fix this.

**Philly experience, March 20th 2016**

On this Sunday in Spring Break, we went to Philadelphia. There wasn't any traffic getting into the city. After we parked, we walked a block to the Mutter museum. In there, there were displays of dead bodies, skeletons, body parts, and more. It kind of grossed me out, but we were OK. After that, we drove all the way to South Philly to go have some dinner. The place was called Chickie and Petes and my dad and I got Cheesesteaks while my mom and my brother Nathan got some other good food. It was Delish! The restaurant was also very Philly sport friendly with 76ers fans having dinner before the game against the Boston Celtics. After dinner, we drove a mile to the Wells Fargo Center to see that same 76ers game against the Celtics! I'm a 76ers fan, so before finding our seats, I bought a great hat! We found our seats and the game begun. The fans there were very supportive, including one rows behind us who was the loudest and most cheerful. I had a colorful sign displayed reading "Go 76ers! Beat the Celtics!". You know the T-shirt cannon at sporting events? Well, we didn't get a T-shirt, however there were parachutes deployed from the top of the dome to the stands containing 76ers hats or inflatable Bam-Bams or something else. Our seats were high in the Arena, and there were 3-4 times as many parachutes as T-shirts, so my brother and dad caught a parachute containing 76ers inflateable Bam-Bams! I was so surprised! I had fun watching the whole game, cheering when the 76ers scored. The 76ers lost 120-105, but I still had a fun time. After that, we drove home. Despite having a little traffic getting out of the stadium area, it was the smoothest trip to Philly we have taken so far. I hope my family and I do something like this again.

**Life in Northbrook, Illinois**

In May of 2012, 503 Fox Hollow Drive (our old home) in Kennett Square was emptied as we moved to the Chicago suburb of Northbrook, Illinois. In the places we lived in Kennett Square, you can't walk to a store because the roads outside the neighborhood have no side walk and are very dangerous. The neighborhood in Northbrook had sidewalks outside the neighborhood so that you can walk from your house to a train station to head to Chicago, go to a Baskin Robins, or get some frozen yogurt. In Kennett Square, we have to drive or take a bus to school. In Northbrook, you could walk a extremely short distance to the school from where we lived. In NorthBrook, I made new friends, took a scooter to the local Subway, and played outside a lot. The school was pretty neat, even though they actually had no cafeteria, and everyone had to eat in a former gym. It also had a much better library than the one in Kennett. Like I said, you could take a train to Chicago and not even have to drive to the train station. I think Northbrook was a great area. I thought it was even better than the Kennett Square area. The Kennett square area is good, but not as great as the NorthBrook area. After we moved back to Kennett on July 2014, stores are still far from our house, we still have to take transportation to school, and we have to drive everywhere, even in a different house than Fox Hollow. I will never forget Northbrook. It was a truly fantastic expirience.

**4th Marking Period**

**Perspectacles: Continued**

For the rest of the day, Danny saw through the perspectacles the feelings of other students. Some were happy and completely fine, while others felt a little stressed. He still didn't wan't that to be. Danny's bully self was disappearing as he looked through these incredible glasses. He felt sorry for some of the students, and counted a good number stressed or not feeling good. When he got home from school, his mom said "Good afternoon.". "I'm good." Danny replied. Danny took got to his room to do homework and took off his glasses. He had enough mind reading for one day. But in the suggestion bin the school, he was going to write down "Lower homework" and a few sentences why. He finished his long homework and went to bed. The next day at school, he went to the suggestion box, wrote his idea, and put it in the box. Seeing these problems in school made Danny sick to his stomach. He wanted to make school an even better place than he thought before. As he walked to his locker, he saw a locker with a pack of cigarettes in it. Danny took it as the owner was away, wrote an anonymous note telling the owner not to smoke, and stuffed the box into the bottom of the waste basket. As he continued walking, he heard a voice say "Someone stole my pack of cigarettes, and wrote a note telling me not to smoke or else I will get sick. I won't listen. I will just close my locker door with the pack in." Danny saw through the perspectacles that he was a person whose grades were terrible and has continued to go downhill, smoking on the way. "This is awful!" Danny thought. This person was going downhill by smoking, which is never OK. He went back to the waste basket and dug up the same pack. He got to his locker, and went to homeroom. He went up to the teacher and said "There has been a case of smoking." At the school, smoking was banned and if someone is caught with it, the punishment is 8 detentions. The teacher was caught up and Danny could tell with his perspectacles. "A person with the name Chris Creek was found with a pack of these cigarettes." Danny was saying. The pack had his signature on it. Danny could see that the teacher was going to check to see if he was telling the truth through the glasses. "Very well, I will find him and have a talk to him. If he is guilty, he will receive a 10 day suspention. If you were lying and actually brought ciggerettes here, you could get expelled. Got that?" "Yes." Danny said. Danny hoped that Chris would get suspended for smoking.

Meanwhile, the Suggestion that Danny wrote made it to student council. Student council, like the US president, did not have the power to instantly make ideas happen. They had to have it approved. The idea had to be brought far, into the school board and beyond. It reached it's final destination eventually and was read out. The next day, Danny received the news from Student Council. They reported about what the reception of the thought was. Here was Danny's answer: "It cannot be promised, but we can break it down just slightly, but however get them prepared for what is considered a hardship." Despite the answer not being what Danny would prefer, he still felt positive, and hoped for the homework levels to drop a little. The same day, Danny found out that Chris Creek was suspended for 10 days, and his smoking enforced the rule against it by having a locker check every 2 days during classes so that it can happen as little as possible. This news left Danny praised for doing the right thing and many considered him to be "qualified for Principal" due to it. Danny didn't use the Perspectiacles again. He packed them up in the same drawer he found them. He did this because he believed that people need privacy. He never mentioned that he ever had a powerful object in possession. His bully days were over, and so were his mind reading days. He would continue through middle and high school solving student issues without the ability to read minds.

**Trip to France 2015**

Last year, we went to the airport to take a plane to Paris. We had a layover in Germany before going there. We got to the Paris airport and took a car to north France. In northern France, we took a walk and ate at a restaraunt in the pretty town we stayed at. The hotel there was not your average Sheraton or Hilton. It was a hotel with only a few big rooms. The facility was great, with a feast breakfast downstairs that we had the next day. That day, we went to a museum where we saw a historical and long piece of fabric telling the extremely long tale of events that happened centuries ago. Then we took a long drive to the area where the WWII D-day battles occurred. It was a very deadly and bloody battle where many American and French troops fought the Nazis at the northern tip of France with many naval ships. Thousands of American soldiers were killed in different ways. Instead of having American dead troops carried home to be buried in the USA, they had them buried there in France. There in the visitors center, we learned the tragic stories of many young soldiers who died on D-day in June 1944. We walked along the graves of the American soldiers and saw where the battle took place in the waters of Northern France. We had lunch and continued to drive and stopped to go sight seeing. It was so windy that day that it makes Chicago look like the not-so-windy-city. It could blow off your hat or any papers if you aren't holding on to them. We eventually reached the hotel and ate at a restaraunt in that area. But on that same day, we went to famous place where there was a huge facility and tons of restaraunts there, but we didn't go there for food, we went there to see it. The next day, we took a long walk to the same place to get some exercise, went to get a coke, and walked back to continue to drive. The weird thing about France was that as we drove, we saw very few people. Dad got very confused. We got to the place we were staying and saw a very famous church, walked into it, and saw a choir singing. We later found out the choir was actually from Libertyville, IL, 25 minutes away from where I used to live! We took a walk in the area, ate dinner, and got to our hotel. Our hotel was unique, but very mediocre. It had a room that could fit 2 or 3 people with no bathroom or shower. The bathroom and shower were outside in the hall. We were not happy there. That morning, we drove to Paris. There, we got to our little apartment we were staying. The apartment was very neat, with a stone downstairs, where there is a TV with a DVD player. We enjoyed the roomy apartment there. And believe it or not, there was a one theater movie theater 2-3 houses down on the same block. Ironically, France is where the some of the first videos were made and this was the closest a movie theater has ever been to a place we've stayed before. Through the days we were in Paris, we saw the art museum, including the Mona Lisa. We also got to take walks there like seeing the Arc de triomphe, museums, a department store, the list goes on. We even saw a movie in the theater next to us. We enjoyed our time there in Paris, I liked it better than north France. After 3 days in Paris, we went to the airport to go to Dubai, United Arab Emirates in the middle east to see more sights. It was great being in Paris, I will never forget it.

**Trip to Boston, 2015:**

In May 22, 2015, we traveled to Boston, Massachusetts. With us was My Dad, his mother, my mom, and my brother Nathan. We drove, had some food, and eventually got there. We checked in at the Hotel and went to bed. In the morning. Mom, Nathan, and I took the subway during the cold morning to the start of the freedom trail. We walked along it, saw the many sights such as grave stones, monuments, and more. We ate at Burger King and got to the Indian resturaunt. We met up with my cousin, Pinky, and another indian family for lunch. After lunch, we continued to walk around the area and even looked into a book store. We got back to our hotel eventually. The good thing about our hotel was that it had a mall right next to it, where we could browse. The next day, we went walking in the morning around the area and went to Fenway Park to see a Boston Red Sox game vs the Los Angeles Angels. The price was outrageous! $90 per seat for Mom, Dad, Nathan, and I! We got cheaper tickets at a Jacksonville Jaguars**NFL** **game** for $80 per seat for the 4 of us in 2013! Despite that, and the extreme crowds, (which is one reason why our tickets were expensive, the cheaper seats were taken) the game was still worth it. We enjoyed the fan experience and the game on that hot day in Fenway. Afterwards, we sort of relaxed, had some dinner and ice cream for dessert, and went to bed. On Monday morning, we woke up, packed up, and we drove home. We found the trip overall great. I would personally recommend Boston to people, especially the Freedom Trail and Fenway park.

**The life of a Loyalist in Boston**

**The following story is historical Fiction, FYI**

There was once a man named James Road, living in Boston in the 13 colonies. He was born on May, 18, 1741 in Virginia. When he was 14 during the French and Indian War, his mother, Mary Road and his father, John Road, moved up to Boston. There he lived, with good education, as he did chores, and got stronger as he got older. In 1761, he married Jane Harry, and has one boy named James, born on Feburary 10, 1763, and another boy named John, born on December 14, 1764. The family respected the new king, King George III.

In 1765, the stamp act was passed. People exploded in protests, calling the taxation without representation "tyranny". James Road was not happy. In his opinion, he thought that even without representation from the colonies, the taxation was fair enough, and he and his wife, Jane, were willing to pay. They were upset that people were holding up signs, screaming outside, and calling for boycotts. Their baby born less than a year earlier, John, was crying due to the noise. James and Jane were upset. They wanted it to stop. After 2 weeks of protest, they put up 50 signs saying "Those who are loyal to our King, meet today tonight," with the address and time. They went around town, doing chores for the day. A few hours before they meeting, James was coming home from his job, he was appalled. Red, hot anger swept through his brain when he noticed that most of the hand written signs he and Jane spent a long time working on were burning in the orange, raging, flames in the middle of the street. Despite that, he got back home, and waited for people to come. At 7:00 PM, in walked James's best friend, William. "William, why are you here right now?" "It is very simple. These protests are wrong and illegal. They must stop at once!," William answered in a demanding way. William was a very demanding person. More people soon trickled in. His friends, Mary, George, and Patrick all thought that the protests were wrong and that the taxation was fair enough. In total, 40 people met up with James and Jane. They agreed to squad up to make agruements against Patriots and stop riots. On the same year, a tax collector showed up to collect taxes. James, Jane, and the loyalists paid their taxes, while they were horrified to see a group of 15 men chanting "Tar him" next to a Tax Collector. James and his 12 loyalist friends went over to start to fight. Punches and beatings were thrown between the Patriots and Loyalists. James retrieved the tar and yelled "retreat" so that that he could splash the patriots with Tar. He got tar on 13 of them, except for 2, who surrendered. The tax collector, (who had escaped the skirmish) thanked the loyalists. The loyalists and James would continue to have meetings after that. But in 1766, the Stamp act was repealed, but replaced with the Townshend acts in 1767 and the quartering act later. Patriots were angered at both, but James didn't mind. In fact, he offered the British soldiers room in his house, and they accepted. James, even with that, continued to have some meetings with less people, and with the British Soldiers. He held them to scheme to convince people of the British benefits. In 1772, he gave a speech, saying that the British taxations were fair, and that the protests were not. A fight broke out between Patriots and Loyalists, and James had to run back home, and lose the Patriots in the Pursuit. That same year, James Road II, now 9, and John, now 7, fought against the Patriot children, arguement after arguement. In 1773, the Tea act was passed, and the Roads, getting sick of protests, considered moving to London later on. On December 16, 1773, the Boston tea party was held, where tea was dumped into the harbor. In 1774, the conceive acts were passed, closing Boston harbor until the tea was paid for. Anger erupted to that and the rest of the acts. The Roads thought that it served the Patriots right. James continued to speak out his views and opinions. But on October 12, 1774, tragedy struck for the family. While the Roads family was out, their house was burned, killing a couple of British soldiers quartered inside. The Roads saw their house burn to the ground, and never found out who burned the house. The family was devastated. But they knew they had to do something. They decided it was best to move to Britain. They got to New York, and stayed there for 3 weeks, before going on a ship on November 11th, 1774. The ship took 2 months due to bad weather. On January 14th, 1775, the arrived in London. They bought a house, and the children grew up, with education, and no harm.

. Later, in 1778, the family continuously funded the British army, to fight battles until the war came to a complete close in 1783, which disappointed the family. But still, the family thrived in Britain. James found a new job, which was carpeting, and James soon graduated college, and John did too. James's 2 children eventually became soldiers in the British army. James retired in 1801, and died on July 1814, at age 73. Jane, who was born in June, 1740, died in April, 1817, at 76. James Road II soon left the British army, worked in Parliament, and retired in 1826. James Road II would die on May 1841 at 78, near his dead fathers 100th birthday. John left the British army, and worked as a carpenter, until his 1828 retirement. He would die on March of 1846, at 81. James Road II and John had 5 children each. The Roads would continue thrive in Britain the following years.

**Time machiene: A sequel to Jason and the mysterious book**

8 1/2 months after Jason checked out the book, he was still continuing to thrive in school. But one day, his friend David Crop said, "Want to come over to my house tomorrow afternoon (which was Saturday)?". Jason's family liked the Crops family that had a lot of technology. "Always!" Jason replied. So the next day, Jason walked across his neighborhood to David's house. They greeted each other and went straight upstairs. "I have something really cool to show you! At my father's work place, they created a time machine and memory eraser, and dad won the raffle to take these home for 3 days, but with warning!" They went over to the living room on the same floor, and saw the time machine, with a Warning, saying **Never operate unless instructed by Dr. Reed**. "OK, lets move on." David said. They went downstairs to retrieve some cheese pizza, and decided to eat by the time machine. David was eating on a coach while Jason was eating by the Time machine. David soon accidentally fumbled his pizza, and it was slapped onto the TV nearby. Jason cracked up, while David was furious. David went over and tackled Jason. Jason used his pizza to slap David across the cheek. The fought so hard that they ended up in the time machine. "ARRGGGH!" Jason yelled. Suddenly, Jason's back pressed onto several buttons: In the Alleys of New York City, In 1986, and On May 21. He even pressed one that said "Lock the door". The Time machine came to life, sped up, and in a flash, was on the New York City alleys. The 2 friends stopped fighting and the door was unlocked. They were about to press buttons to get back to 2016 when the time machine suddenly died out. "Oh !" Jason was cursing, cursing like a sailor. So was David. The 2 eventually went to technology store. They found out that there were only VCRs, Cassette players, and other 80s "Junk!" David commented. They thought of going to a power plant to find some energy to power the time machine, and planned to get that goal into action. They knew they were going to have to break the law, but without being seen. So they went on the streets, and planned to pickpocket. They went to a Supermarket, where the only transportation parked was an empty, open truck. The driver got out to shop. But as the driver was going to the store, the boys walked beside him, and used a very good pickpocket method to get the keys. The driver didn't even notice. They got on the masks they bought at another store using money from the ground. They ran quietly to the truck as the driver was in the Super Market. They made themselves look like adults by wearing adult clothes and took off driving in the car. They got to the Alley with the time machine after a bumpy first ever drive for Jason. They lifted the wireless machine and loaded it onto the Truck. Knowing that the Power plant was 20 miles away and near a lake, they took off. Afterwards, they got out of the Truck, and quickly hauled the Time machine outside. In the power plant, there was a plug that was compadable with the time machine that delivered excellent power. They snuck in the plant, with protection suits while carrying the Time Machine in a wooden box. They went in, trying to act normal. "The final countdown" was playing loudly on a Cassette player. The boys got to the extremely high power station, with a plug on the side. It was lunchtime at the Power plant suddenly and everyone was storming to the cafeteria, But Jason and David took unloaded the Time machine and plugged it in. It took 45 minutes to get it back to life. They feared being seen, so they reloaded the machine and left the building. "Hey!" a worker yelled, and suddenly went into hot pursuit of the boys. The boys ran with the machine and had to lose the man. They got tired, but didn't listen to their pain. They eventually lost the men. Fearing that the men, determined to catch the boys called the police, the 2 got the Time machine in place and went in. They set it to the day they went time traveling except 30 seconds afterwards in the Crop's home. The machine got there in 15 seconds. Jason and David got out, and calculated the time they were out to use the memory eraser. "So that this doesn't alarm the others!" Jason yelled. They 2 took a selfie like flash, and their memorys were clear. "What happened?" the 2 cried in unison. They decided to stay away from the machine, and went outside to play.
