Founding Fathers Were Great People!

Author’s Note:  In the following essay, I will talk about what I would say to the founding fathers.  You will read about my thoughts regarding the laws and better ways to change one of them.

In the late 1700s, the founding fathers came together to make the main laws for America. The key founding fathers included John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington. I will talk about what laws I would change and the conversations I would have with the Founding Fathers.

Although the founding fathers made most of the laws, not all of them are necessary.  In this paragraph I will state the main law that should be changed and why.  The one that I would change with is voting. The current law allows individuals that are eighteen or older the right to vote. I disagree with this law. It should be changed to ages twelve and older because for some teens politics matter and affect their lives.

Even though the founding fathers made some bad choices for laws, overall they did a pretty good job.  If I could talk to the founding fathers in person the main thing I would tell them is about all of the laws that I agree on. Also I would like to talk about the rules I would like the change and why.  Overall the founding fathers did a great job summarizing the important laws.

Other than creating laws and rights, the founding fathers signed many of the most important documents that are still in effect today.  The Declaration of Independence a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4th, 1776 was one of the documents signed by the founding fathers. Other documents signed by the founding fathers include the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  If the founding fathers didn’t sign these documents, who knows where we would be.

Within this essay I talked about the one law I would change and then I gave an explanation why.  The founding fathers were great people, even though they created some ridiculous laws. Without the founding fathers, today wouldn’t be the same because they signed important documents and created some exceptional laws.  In the previous paragraphs I talked about the voting law, what I would say if I had a conversation with the founding fathers themselves, and what important documents they signed.

Mistakes,Mistakes,Mistakes!

Author’s Note: In this short cause/effect response, I will talk about one stupid mistake I made in a baseball game and what happened because of the mistake.  While reading the response please look for the interesting content.

In the following paragraphs, I will talk to you about one of the big cause and effects that happened in my life.  The one I will be talking about is when I was up to bat when we were losing by two runs and we had base runners on second and third.  The count was three and two, I should have been looking for the right pitch, but I was just too eager.

When the pitch from the two and two came in they called it a ball. After the pitch I got out of the batter’s box and took a couple of practice swings. I went back in the batter’s box with my head high, maybe too high.  The pitch was a low and in that got me swinging as if I was a logger cutting down a tree with an axe, I struck out and left two base runners on base for the end of the inning.

Although striking out is miserable; it was not as bad as it would be when my teammates and coaches would tell me when I got in the dugout.  They were like bees, they were stinging me every  they said something inappropriate .The main part of the story is that I let my team down, because they needed me and I didn’t produce. Our team resulted in losing the final game four to one, because of a few errors and bad mental mistakes by other teammates. "Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical." said Yogi Berra.

Within the paper, I am telling you that because of mental mistakes and my struck out our team resulted in losing.  That is because they were depending on me to bring in a few runs, but I just couldn’t do it. The main point in the story is that no one is perfect at everything, and you will always make mistakes playing the game and watching the game. "You can observe a lot just by watching." said Yogi Berra.

Staying Alive, The conflict!

Authors Note:  In the book "Hunger Games", the people fighting faced many conflicts, including not trusting people and not knowing what the person next to you was going to do next.

In the “Hunger Games”, by Suzanne Collins, there were many conflicts within the story, including when the contestants were in the arena. For Katniss, she had a low chance of living, because of her personality and not trusting people.

Half way through the games, Katniss realized that Haymitch and the rest of the people were right about teaming up.  Katniss knew that she was in trouble, so she found Rue and team up until the day of the Rue's death. Also Katniss partnered up with Peeta to help them survive for both to obtain the victory of the Hunger Games.

Shawano, the fishing Lake!

Author’s Note:  In this story you will learn how to have fun with family members and what family members can do to make you  even happier  than ever!

On a cool, dewy day in Pewaukee at 9:00 AM on  July 7th, I was loading all of my clothes and fishing gear in the back of my grandparents GMC Terrain. Sadly, my parents had to stay home, I had my grandparents to support me. Although my parents couldn't come, I still had my grandparents which is important.  Family is the most important aspect in life and with family it is easier to be happy.              

Even though it took a long time to get there, it was worth it! When we arrived our family members greeted us  and showed us where are rooms were. We decided to visit with family before dinner and just have exciting discussions. After dinner, I was full and decided to go fishing. The meal was great and wanted to do something to finish off the night right. The fishing the whole weekend was great, but it wasn’t the best part of the trip.

Finally we get to the good part, even though fishing was fun , but it can’t compete with jet skiing, tubing, or go-carting. Jet-skiing was the star moment of Shawano, we rented them from a place on the lake and ride them for about two hours. Tubing was great, the best part about it was the waves crashing on the tuber.  The last day of my trip we went go-carting. What a blast! We were drifting when turning and riding into each other.

To be happy in life you need to have family there for you. Remember that family is the most important thing in life and they will help you when it is needed.

Calico Joe Retelling

Authors Note: I am writing a retelling on “Calico Joe” by John Grisham. In the writing I will demonstrate how to retell a story.

Warren Tracey, a pitcher on the Mets, had a hard life as a child by not receiving what he needed to have a good childhood. As Warren thought of his past, he started becoming angry, and took it out on his son, Paul Tracey and later on with Joe Castle, a Chicago Cubs baseball player.  The main character, Warren Tracey after a hard life ,wasn't able to handle his anger toward other people, which cost him his career.
