"Typhoid Fever" & "The Highwayman"

In "Typhiod Fever" and "The Highwayman" they are similar in a lot of ways. In "Typhoid Fever" the two children are not allowed to talk becuase of thier diseases, and the landlords duaghter, Bess, was not allowed to talk to the highway man becuase of her father would not allow it just like the nuns and nurses who wouldn't let Frankie and Patricia talk. In the two stories they all fell in love. In "Typhoid Fever" Frankie started to fall in love with Patricia but they were not allowed to be together. In "The Highwayman" Bess fell in love with the highwayman.In both stories the girl dies,but in "Typhoid Fever" Frankie doesn't die, and in "The Highwayman" the man dies also. I think it was important for frankie to hear the end of "The Highwayman" because he felt like he could relate to the peom and he wanted to find out what happened because he thought he felt the same way about Patricia.

“’Typhoid Fever’– Present Tense Childhood Memory.”

Yesterday was my fourth birthday and I’m so much bigger then Nina (My sister) now. She can’t call me “little girl” anymore. She’s only eight, and four comes before eight, so I gotta be bigger then her. I’m at school and I told all my friends that I’m finally bigger then my sister and they all gave me happy looks and said “cool!” I can’t wait till I get to rub it in her dummy face!...(A little while later)…. Now I’m in my stupid room. My dumb sister told me I was wrong and then called me a stupid little girl again! When I told my foster mom she told me I was wrong too! I know I’m right though! If I call my mommy she will know! I know I’m right! I know it! She can’t yell at me cuz I know I’m right!

The Storyteller Different Point of Veiw from the Bachelor

While I was on the train all the small children were running around, screaming and jumping on the seats. There yelling was starting to annoy me while the aunt in the carriage tried to calm them down by putting her finger up to her lips and hushing them. Every time she did this they would become quiet for two minutes and them they would become loud again. I couldn’t believe how loud they were. I thought the people from the carriage next to us would come over and complain. I was so relieved when the aunt decided to settle them down and tell them a story. She told them a story about a good girl, who did good things and had good things happened to her. I was an extremely boring story and when it was done all the children complained how dull it was. Even I had to tell her how bad I thought the story was. She challenged me to tell a better story so I decided I could. I told the children a story about a girl named Bertha who won three medals just for being good. She was so good that the prince decided to let her walk in the royal park where no one ever got to walk. On the day Bertha got to walk through the park I told all the children about a wolf who came and ate Bertha after she tried to hide from him. They all oo’d and aahh’d at the story and how it had a change in the direction of the story. I knew this would be a good ending and I ended it there. The aunt looked at me and was furious. She yelled at me saying that it was and inappropriate story to tell children, but I just laughed and told her how I was able to keep her quiet for longer then she could. She just looked at me with anger and I could feel the train stopping. She got all the children and walked out of the carriage.

1. If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Joffe Numeroff *****
2. If you Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Joffe Numeroff *****
3. Corduroy by Don Freemen*****
4. Where's Spot by Eric Hill***
5. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle****

The story Corduroy by Don Freemen was my favorite children story story because of the plot and his adventure for a family. Corduroy is a little bear in green overalls with one missing button, who lives in a store in the toy department. He's desperate to find a family and be taken care of. One day when a girl and her mom come to the store she see's the bear and asks her mom to buy it for her but he mother told her no, because they didn't have money for it and because he was missing a button. Corduroy is upset because he wants to go home with a family where he knows he would be taken care of. When the store closes he goes out to search for his missing button. He goes up to the funiture part of the store and hops on a mattress. He tries to pull off one of the buttons on the mattress and is can't get it off. When a security guard comes up he sees Corduroy on the mattress and takes him back down to the toy section. Corduroy is sad when he knows he can't find his button. The next day the same girl who asked her mom for the bear, named Lisa, came and picked him up. She bought him with her own money she had saved and took him home. She sewed on a new button and Corduroy was happy because he knew that he would be loved and taken care of.

Chilean Miners Rescue

On August 5Th 2010 thirty-three Chilean miners became trapped in a mine when rocks and dirt fell and caved in on the opening. Miners were forced to divide their food amongst themselves for seventeen days until they were found alive and in need of food, water, clothes, and medical help. The miners were trapped for sixty-nine days underground while food and other supplies were transferred down to them through a small opening rescuers made in an effort to help the trapped miners. All thirty-three trapped miners were saved yesterday on October thirteenth. They received warm hugs from family members, medical help, a much needed shower, and a change of clothes when were rescued after a sixty-nine day ordeal. The event of the thirty-three trapped miners was dramatic to family members, friends, and the rest of the world. When I first heard about the miners becoming trapped I felt extremely sad to know that they would not be rescued for maybe almost three months. Updates came from all over the web and people in the world were anxious to know about how the miners were. When I learned that the rescue was in operation I felt extreme relief to know that all the miners would be safe and that their family who had been camping at the site for their sons, husband, etc. would be relived of their stress. If I were one of the miners I would feel like I was in a state of shock. I would be worried that some of the men would go into shock and also would be injured. I would also fear that no one would find us in time. When we were found I know I would be slightly relived to know that we were going to eventually be safe. I think the waiting for the rescuers to safe us would feel like a lifetime just for them to reach us in time and to get everyone out. This was a dramatic event for the entire world and shocked almost everyone who heard about the event. Relief was swept over the entire world when the miners were saved yesterday and brought out safe.

Reflection on Autobiographical Narrative

On my autobiographical narrative I think that I did really well on my essay because I had added so much more to my essays since my freshmen year and I have become an extremely stronger writer in all my essays and blog posts. I have been able to add more detail, descriptive writing, and also add more meaning into my narratives. I hope that if I continue to write that my stories will get even better. On this essay I think that I might have gotten either an A- or a B+. I really hope that I have higher then an A- also because I am trying to raise my grade. When we first started to write our autobiographical narratives last year I was afraid that I would not be good at writing, but now I feel more confident in writing papers and other things. If I could change one thing about my essay it would be to add more sensory details to my forth body paragraph and also change the way it jumped from part of the climax to my ending. I should have added in a better transition. I hope that next essay I can do even better.
