Passion Paragraph

Sitting by the T.V. on my nightstand, I looked over from watching T.V. A book, not just any book, but my Book. And it was calling to me. I picked up the book and flipped it open. All noises everywhere in my house vanished as if a white wave of endless quiet washed over me. As I started reading, in my mind shapes formed, then turned into the characters in my book. Suddenly hours have gone by. I closed the Book and noise hit me like a brick wall.

When I read, I get taken away into the book and nothing else matters. The world could be ending, and I wouldn’t even notice. I first got into reading when I was old enough to read chapter books and could read them well in 2^nd grade.  At that time, I was reading at 4^th grade level. I loved the chapter books I read then but love the ones I read now in 8^th grade even more. I am into adventure, fantasy, suspense, and medieval. The Throne of Glass series is an awesome series for me. Suspense, the thing that gets me hooked into books, is the main reason I read the Chronicles of a Scythe, which are full of suspense and unsuspected twists and turns. I like to read the adventure series too, Erin Hunter’s Warrior series got me started in it and is an exceptional series. I have read many medieval books, such as Ranger’s Apprentice. Ranger’s Apprentice is very thrilling because of the descriptive detail of how they do things and it helps you picture everything in your mind. But back on track. I get taken into each of these books and see either from the narrator’s view and can see everything and get mad and excited for the characters; or from the characters point of view and get frightened or scared when something comes up I didn’t expect.

Whether the book is supposed to be or not I’m always full of suspense. I love books so much that when I read before bed, I always go over what could happen next and it is usually very bad or very good. But, as usual I’m always wrong with my predictions. I am totally surprised when what I suspected was horribly wrong and it is something entirely more exciting. The thing that makes my passion different from my other hobbies is that the amount of time I put into it instead of other hobbies or just sitting around is amazing. On average I read for about 12 hours a week, and for some of you other hardcore readers with more spare time then me that could seem rather small. Yet, I work, I do chores, I heat my house with wood I cut and chop with my own two hands. Then I read by the wood burner. But you other readers will understand the amount of suspense and excitement you can put into a good book.

Now you all might see just how much I love books. Now if you will excuse me, I have a nice, thrilling book to read.

My family does a lot for Christmas. We eat a lot of ham and potatoes. My mom makes us hot chocolate as we sit by the fire and watch Christmas specials. Then we go to bed and wait for morning when my sisters are cranky and my parents don't want to get up. My favorite part is when my mom and dad make us all biscuits and gravy with garlic sausage. Then we go and open our presents and laugh and get disappointed when it is just clothes and socks. after that we play with our new toys, read new books, or play on new devices and video games.

Music

Hey guys, I'm going to tell you what music I like. I'm more into the rock genre and the heavy metal genre in the rock genre. Some of my favorite songs are by Green Day, Skillet, and Three Days Grace. I like this music because It is fun for me to listen to. I can get rid of my anger by listening and singing along. My favorite song is Animal I have become.

Veteran's Day

  

We are here today to honor the Veterans that serve or have served in the Military. It takes special people to take a huge risk to protect their country, their families, and the people on the streets. It is because of their courage that makes them special. 

Veterans are very special. Because of the things they do for everyone in the United States of America. They risk their lives for us so that we may sleep at night. We need to show them respect and I understand that all of us here do; but, in some countries veterans go unnoticed and are not thanked for what they did for their countries. Not all countries neglect their veterans but to name one is Germany after WWII.

Wyatt has a Grandfather who is a veteran and he was a Sergeant in the main branch of the Military, The Army. Allen Burckhardt commanded a tank and was posted mainly at the border of North Korea to make sure that they didn’t start anything. Allen saw that people did take potshots and it wasn’t uncommon for him to see that an Army member to get sniped. Thankfully he doesn’t have PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Connor’s great grandpa was in the Air Force  during the Korean War. He flew during the War and took the hurt people to the infirmary so they can get better and the attention needed to get better. He told us some of the stories that were appropriate so Connor’s parents didn’t get mad. 

                We love our family veterans and they love us more than we could ever know that they do. When Wyatt gets older he wants to be in the Military. Whether it is the Air Force, The Navy, Army, Marines, it doesn’t matter because he knows that he’s making his Grandpa proud. He knows he might not make it but he knows that if he does he will be extremely happy for himself. If or when he gets into the Military then he will be special too. So, the next time he sees his Grandpa he’s going to thank him for being special.

                Veterans are special. There is no other way to put it. You could say they’re brave yes but it takes a special person to use their bravery to enter the military. Veterans are special, there is absolutely no other way to put it.

Photos

This Picture reminds of how something so beautiful can be so small and it makes me think about every thing that happens to trees and I start to pity them. They are rooted to the spot that they grow in and then we come along decide they're in our way for a city and we cut them down and kill them and use them to build a dog house that will be in front of a new suburban house.

This picture is of an old car in a building. This old car tells me a story but not all of it I know it is in a building and that it is in perfect condition, but how did it get here? Where did it come from? Who owned it first? These are the things that I question but the answers will probably never be answered.

This picture reminds me that not everything is in the sunlight all the time. Of course that's common sense, there is always light and dark but I think this church is rather foreboding though.

Memes

We have been working with run-on sentences, and different ways to avoid writing them. Our teacher asked us to create three different memes; each containing a sentence that shows a different way to avoid run-ons. Each meme's sentence must connect to the meme. The first one symbolizes me when i don't understand something. I made these on https://makeameme.org/

Copyright Laws and Rules Reaction

Something that surprised me about some copyright things is that there are so many copyright laws and choices. I learned that if I download something and use it for something that the copyright law doesn't allow I could get sued big time. I'm going to use Google Images way more carefully now by not using it much.

My name is Wyatt. In the future I would like to be a Navy officer on a Destroyer. Or an Air Force officer who flies a plane or helicopter. To be a pilot in anything would be great; a ship, plane, bomber, or even Air-Force-One! One of the things that I really enjoy to do is get together with my friends and go camping. On these campouts we cook our own food, pitch our own 2-4-man tent(s), build things out of sticks like a lean-too or a fort, and we make our own fires and chop our own wood with permission. To be spicy is the way to live don’t make me angry or your in for a wild ride.

If I could describe my traits, they would be Brave, Smart, and Strong Minded. My favorite things to do in my down time is play video games, chop wood and cut down trees, read, and play with my dog. My first pet was a plot hound named Harley. My dad named him after the motorcycle brand. My dog let my ride him and he was protective of me. If I could go on any trip anywhere, I would go to pearl harbor and see the memorial and the battleships.

The thing that interests me the most is the aircraft, ships, tanks, and artillery in WWII. My favorite bomber of all time is the B-17 Flying Fortress due to its size, although it does have one big weakness its weight and hit spot. My favorite aircraft was the German Messerschmidt not because Germany was right but because it was the scariest plane in the sky at the time. My favorite tank was the German Tiger Tank because of its sheer power, and I hope to see one up close someday in a museum. WWII interests me because not of the war but the engineering work behind the planes, boats, and tanks. The engineers were looking for firepower and defense yes, but also mobility, speed, camouflage, and most importantly designs like the enemy wouldn’t have ever seen before.
