In life and in death she was nice, pretty, and very fun loving. She will be missed. Without her, there will be a great hole left in the town. Rachel had so many friends and liked to just have fun. We do not know why that man shot her. Let us hope that the police are looking into the case.
Rachel Ward, age 14, left behind her mother, her father, sister Stevie, brother Vince, two pets Oscar and Jessica and many friends. Rachel was a 8th grader at ASA Clark Middle School. She was a cheerleader and a Girl Scout. Some of Rachel’s favorite things to do were to paint, watch videos on her Ipad, read, and run around like a crazy nut. She also liked to swim, ride her bike and make up stories.
Rachel will be missed greatly by those she knew. They will miss her laughter, silliness and creativity. Let us hope that she may rest in peace and the person her took her from her loved ones is in jail. Continue to have fun in heaven Rachel.

Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of Character Development
If your father was the elf king what would you do? In the Amulet by Kazu kibuishi Trellises father is the king of elves.In the begning of the Amulet Prince Trellises is evil. However he changes into a good person in the end.
Trellises is stonekeeper like Em. A reason that Trellises is evil is because he took em’s mother.
Another reason that he’s evil is that he attacked Em and tried to make her evil. Finally he sent some of his men after Em to kill her but she got away.
The catalysts in this story is when one of his own men attack him and left him in a forest to die.
trellis saved Em from another evil stone keeper. He also saved Em’s mother from a man who was trying to kill her.
In the overall story Prince Trellis changed. If Trellis changed then anyone can change for better or worse.

Count. Dracula
Author's note: I wrote this piece to demostrate my understanding of Point of View
Extra extra, read all about
it! Count Dracula tells his side of the story. Hello, I am count Dracula now
behave kids or I will drink your blood. The book Dracula tells the story from
everybody’s point of view but mine.
So I did bite those two girls
but I was hungry and they looked so good. You are probably wondering why I
hired that man. I did that because I wanted his blood and I needed to find a
place to put all 50 of my coffins.
If the book was written in my point of
view, you would act a bit nicer to me
You would probably be angry
at those mean humans . It shows you that point of view is important in a story
Well
kids that’s all I have for today thank you for behaving nicely. Point of view
is important in every story because it gives the reader different feelings
about all the characters .

Oscar
Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of creative pieces
Taste
If my dog Oscar was food, he would melt in your mouth like a piece of dark chocolate. Oscar would feel like a big and fluffy marshmallow in my mouth. When I swim with Oscar, he is like ice cream cooling me down on a hot summer day.
Touch
When I pet my dog’s ears they are as smooth as silk. However, when I rub my dog’s belly, it jiggles like jello. The pads of my dog’s paws are rough like sandpaper when I hold one of his paws.
See
At night, my dog Oscar is like a shadow of darkness. When Oscar plays in the snow he is cute
as a bunny. When the sun shines on Oscar his fur shines like gold.
Smell
When Oscar farts its like a stink bomb went off. Also, Oscar’s breath is like garbage. When I get too close to him, it feels like someone threw a fish at my nose.
Hear
Oscar’s bark is like a lion’s roar. When Oscar grumbles it’s like a volcano going off. However, when Oscar does not do any of these things he is silent as a Ninja.

Taste
Marshmallows and chocolates are my two favorite desserts. Eating marshmallows is like eating clouds while enjoying their fluffy goodness. Chocolate melts in your mouth like a wave of deliciousness.

See
Our Christmas tree is like a party to my eyes. Snow to my eyes are like little crystals. At night, my dog Oscar is a shadow of darkness.
Smell
When the Christmas cookies are done, a wave of goodness swims in to my nose. The pine needles poke at my nose like sharp needles. The warm aroma of the fire floats through my nose
Hear
Oscar’s bark is like a lion’s roar. The wind howled like a child screaming. The crackling of the fire is music to my ears.

Titan's curse
Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of theme.
What would it be Like if you were a Demigod? What would you do? In The Titan’s Curse by Rick Roadian , Percy and his friends have to survive to protect the ones they love. Survival is a major theme in this story, as well as other stories, for several reasons.
One reason is that Percy and his friend have to fight a giant lion in order to survive.
The lion attacked Percy but Percy fought back. Thaila, Percy’s cousin, a demigod too, was hit by the lion into a pole; however, she survived with a minor headache.
Another reason is that they have to fight skeletal warriors. The skeletal warriors keep coming back whenever Percy stabs them. They run away but the skellys keep finding them. Eventually, they hitch a ride on two metal angels and get away from the skeletons to survive.
Another story that has survival as a central theme is Warriors by Erin Hunter. The warriors are cats that hunt for their food and battle other clans for territory. An example of fighting for territory is Lionclan verses Bloodclan. Lionclan won and got their territory back to survive.
The Lightning Thief by Rick Roadian is another novel that focuses on survival of the characters.
A reason why survival is a main theme in the Lightning Thief is the kindly ones attack Percy on a bus. Percy and his friends escape just when the bus blows up. They lose all their supplies and have to fend for themselves.
In The Titan’s Curse, The Lightning Thief, and Warriors a major theme is survival. They have to fight a giant lion to survive in The Titan’s Curse. Also they must return a stolen lightning bolt to Zeus in The Lighting Thief. Lastly in Warriors, the cats need territory and the animals inside to thrive. In the end, all of these books require fighting as a means of survival.
