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.


If you like sports books with a little bit of irony than this book is for you.

Florida, What an Adventure

Author's Note: What an Adventure! In this action story you will experience crazy invents and lessons that will be helpful in life.

On a warm, sunny day in the tropics of Florida, we were heading for Sea World. I should have left right away  because I felt something weird was going to happen. What was going to happen? I guess you will just have to wait and see.  In this weird adventure you will experience crazy things and lessons that will help you be successful in life.

Wow, it just feels so weird at Sea World! “ Mom, something weird is going to happen. I can just feel it.” “Parker, nothing is going to happen. Don’t worry!   Everything is going to be OK,” said my mom.  Well, you have to trust what your mom says. I was feeling fantastic  for the whole visit until the end.

Unfortunately, the vacation at Sea World wasn’t over, but I wish it was. There was a lady  walking around  talking on her cell phone.  She wasn’t watching where she was going and ran right into me. I turned around to see what happened.   Right at that moment, she started yelling “thief, thief!”  Apparently, her cell phone had fallen down her sleeve, but she thought I had stolen it.  I looked at her in confusion and denied having her phone.  She looked at me with mean, scary eyes until she felt around in her sleeve and pulled out her phone.  My mom and I looked at her again and just walked away.  The lady did not even say she was sorry.

After that encounter I was upset so my mom suggested that we go get some ice cream.  The treat really hit the spot. What a great way to end our trip to Sea World!

The point of the story is to never yell at a person until you know exactly what happened.  For example, you go home and your iPod has a cracked screen.  Don’t go yelling at your brother before you know what actually happened. Have you ever experienced this?

July 13, 2012 my special day

Author's Note:  Read this creatvie piece very slow because you might get fooled!

On a warm weathered day in the middle of July a boy was being brought into the world.  His name was Parker Alexander Hutjens.  Even though my birthday was supposed to be on July 14 it didn’t really change anything. Being born on this day has its positives because then you are able to have a party outside.

Although July 13 might be a bad day for someone else, it was a great and positive day for  my happy family.  Every year, on July 13th we always party like tomorrow is the end of the world.  On this day every year I get to open all of the precious cards from friends and family member.

Put a swoosh on that!

Author's Note: There are many different types of shoes in the world.  It is important that you pick the best shoes for you.  Reading this help you understand more about shoes.

Shoes are objects that are made out of matter that you wear on your feet.  I have a pair of Nike Free Run 3 , they are very comfortable on the heel and on the toes.  When I went to footlocker or champs for shoes, my first priority with shoes are the feel.  Lastly it is the amount of swag that is put into them.


Nike Hyper-dunks are sick  because they are comfortable and nice looking at the same time.  I have these shoes and they are very nice.  You can get these  at footlocker for about the price of $99.99.  I would totally recommend these shoes to a friend.

Sound and Music are the Same

 Author's Note: I wrote about sound affecting our daily lives.  Please take your time reading this because you might learn some new information about music and sound

 Sound is pretty much life. Without sound you can’t do that much including talking to people. Sound takes a big role in your life because without sound you can't talk to people and you can’t have music.
 
Sound is very effective in our lives because it would be hard to live without it.  Music is a type of sound that can help people get away from bad things happening in people’s lives.  Also music is used to become creative and just acting like yourself. So, without sound it would be a pretty darn hard life to live.
