Rave Master

Author's note: This piece is about  Conflict/Resolution in the story rave master. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of Conflict/Resolution



In the book Rave Master by Hiro Mashima, the main conflict is between Haru and Schneider and it’s over power. Schneider is an assassin sent by Shuda who is Schneider’s boss. Schneider wants to kill Haru, however, Haru fights back.

Haru eventually wins the battle. He does it by slashing Schneider many times at high speeds with a magical stone. The stone is called the Rave of Wisdom. The Rave of Wisdom also gave his sword special powers that allowed him to move at high speeds. Haru was a hero in this story and he won the battle and got more power.   Rachel Ward

The fawn

Author's note: This piece is about  Cause/Effect in the story The Fawn. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of Cause/Effect.


Every morning, I go to the top of the hill to go on the bus  However, one morning when I was getting on the bus, I saw a fawn.  It still had some of its spots so it was very young.  I wondered why a fawn was alone since I didn't see any other deer.   

When I came home from school I saw a dead deer near my house. It looked like it had been hit by a car going too fast.  I realized that the dead deer must be the fawn’s mother. I felt sad for the fawn, hoping that it is strong enough to survive the winter. This is why cars should go slow so the wildlife in Wisconsin don’t get killed.

The Week We Got Oscar


Author's note: this is a Personal Narrative about the time we got Oscar 



This is a story about when my family got our dog, Oscar, right after Christmas two years ago. Before we got Oscar, we were up north in Minocqua.  We were up north because we were celebrating Christmas and an early birthday for me.  My cousin, Asia, came home with us for Christmas break.

A couple of days after Christmas, Asia wanted a hamster. We went to the nearest pet store to get one and there was a puppy there named Coal because he was a pure bred black lab. We bought the hamster and asked to play with the puppy. Coal looked so sad in his cage and when we played with him, he perked up.

After a while, we had to leave the pet store so we drove home with the hamster. Vincent, Stevie, Asia and I begged mom and dad to get Coal.  A little while later, my mom drove off and came back with Coal!  We were all surprised and in disbelief that we a got a puppy.

My mom said we should change his name, so we did. We thought of names for him. Stevie and I wanted to name him Shadow, however, my dad said it was a girl’s name.  Therefore, we all voted on Oscar.
We changed it to Oscar and Asia named her hamster Oreo.  We found out that Oscar’s birthday is October 13 so he is about to turn three.

When Oscar got home from the pet store, he was not that sad little puppy anymore. He was really excited and happy to be with us. From the start, he was a trouble maker.  He kept getting in the garbage and stealing our toys and stuffed animals.  When he was too naughty, he had to go to his cage. He went in his cage a lot but we still love him. No matter what he does, he is fun to have around.
