Discussion Questions

                  Vandara is a vicous and angry women. To the women she is respected, but also feared. A person who is feared can be respected because Vandara is like a leader to the women and the women listen to her and what she has to say.

                  The women sometimes don't agree with the way Vandara treat Kira. When Kira's mother dies Vandara wants her land. She wants Kira to leave and to have her land for herself. Just because Kira has no family left doesn't mean that Vandara can push Kira around. This shows that Kira and her family are not respected by Vandara. Vandara takes her case to the Council of Guardians just for a piece of land. Kira is being treated poorly and that is not fair.

                    Vandara always tells Kira that she is worthless because of her bad leg. Kira can be helpful and she is a good person. The Council says if she can't work that she needs to leave which means that they agree with Vandara. The Council want people who can do work and not waste time.

                    The Council of Guardians will send Kira away if she is usless and can't do anything for the village, which is what Vandara wants. Sometime Vandara is a good and bad leader. She treats the villagers badly and as if they are not on the same level as her. She should treat the villagers because they are as equal as she is. To herself she is the boss and not the Council of Guardians.

                     Vandara is the antagonist of this story. She believes she is the boss. She is feared by all, except for the Council of Guardian, and sometimes is respected.

My Talent (made up)

A talent I chose is to be able to run really fast and a magical power that goes with it is to be able to run as fast as cars on the highway (which has a 65 miles per hour speed limit!). I can't run this fast unless I eat blonde brownies loaded with chocolate and butterscotch chips and piled high with chocolate icing. And I have to wear bright neon orange pants with a hot pink and white polka-dotted shirt. I also need special shoes that are made out of a thin gray fabric with a tint of pale pink and purple flames on the sides. Since I am running so fast I need to wear goggles that cover my eyes because otherwise my eyes will tear up. I am the only one that can run this fast because I have a special charm that has a picture of the shoes that changes when the shoes change (for example, if  the shoes get beaten up then the picture on the charm shows shoes that have gotten beaten up).

When I run everything around me is a blur, because I am running so fast. All of the buildings around me become a faded gray color, even if they are bright red brick-colored buildings. The time I stop running is when the sugar from the brownies is stops making me hyper. So I shouldn't eat too many  because otherwise I won't be able to stop. Running really fast doesn't make me tired and I can keep on going until the sugar dies down. But my heart races way faster than it otherwise ever does. When I run with the super power I am running about eight times as fast as a person who isn't running with the magic super speed power.

My Magical Talent

I discovered my talent when I was 11 in sixth grade. My special talent is that I can draw. I'm not an ordinary drawer. I can control the pencil with my mind and it will move across the paper and draw something so extraordinary I can not only move the pencil, but other objects. This is when I discovered my very extraordinary power.

I was in art class one day and it was raining really hard. There was thunder and really loud noises. After art class I went into the hallway and saw kids running and screaming. They wouldn't let kids go home because it was too dangerous. They sent all the students to there classes so they could be safe. I went to third period and there were people under the desks, behind bookshelves, and blocking windows. I'm not so scared of lightning so I went to my seat and sat there very calmly. I started drawing what was outside of the window which I couldn't really see through because it was being blockaded. All of a sudden the lights went off, but I kept drawing (that's how much I love to draw). A jolt of lightning came though the wires behind the computer and went through the lights then through my pencil and through my body. I flew out of my chair, onto the floor, and passed out.

I woke up with people all around me. They were relieved to see me alive. My arms hands no burns which was so amazing!!! How does someone survive after they have been struck by lightning? There was something weird about the lightning, but what...ohhh yeah it was red!!! Weird!!! I've never seen red lightning before. On my way home something got into my eye. I dropped my backpack in front of me and I started squinting my eyes. I bent down to grab my backpack, but it wasn't there...it was five feet away. I squinted my eyes again and it was right next to me. Weird!!! I could move things with my mind. I ran home and took out my sketchbook and pencil. I looked at the pencil and squinted my eyes and the pencil started drawing on the paper. It was the best picture of a gorilla I've ever seen. I could move things with my mind!!!!

My magic ability

 

 My magic ability is when I do origami. When I first started to do origami I was about9 or 10 years old. At first it was just something I did when I was bored or I had nothing else to do. When I told my mom that I wanted to start origami she was so happy for because she told me that when she was a kid she loved to do origami. So once I singed up for origami I was so good in that class (well lets just say I was a good learner).  Then when all my origami class were done (the classes were in my old school called Davis) my mom started to buy me books about origami because I want to learn more about. The next thing I know I have like 10 books about origami (they were all books for beginners). Even though I was sill o a beginner level I started to make my things with the origami paper (you need a special type of paper to do origami).It was like my brain couldn't control my hands when I’m just playing around with the origami paper. One day when I was in my room doing nothing I garbed a piece of origami paper and started to play around with it. In a minute I made a nice little flower in the color of red it looked like a rose to me. Then when I showed it my mom she asks "How did you do this? Did you learn from one of your books? said my mom. Then I told her that I just did it my self with out even thinking.  So now every time I do origami my hands just go on there own and just start doing whatever. Then the next thing I know is that I just made a flower or boat or a bow or something. It's like magic in one, two, and three. Don't you think its magic? I feel like its magic because besides doing origami every thing else I do like holding something just drops or breaks a part.

Puppies, Puppies, and More Puppies!!!

My Top Ten Puppy Breeds:

10. Dalmation

9. Shar Pei

8. Chihuahua

7. Cocker Spaniel

6. Beagle

5. Border Collie

4. Maltese

3. Pembroke Welsh Corgi

2. Daschund

And my #1 favorite dog breed is:

1. Shih Tzu♥

I love puppies because they are soooooo C-U-T-E♥!!!!!! Puppies are playful, adorable, great accessories, and playmates. A puppy is a young or juvenile dog and considered a pup until it reaches about one year old. Even though puppies are kinda hard to control I still love them. They make great companions and people just love them.

Puppies may be very cute, but they have a lot of history behind each and every breed. I will go through my top 5 favorite breed of dog on my list and describe their story.

First up is the... Border collie. The Border collie is a herding dog that originated from the border country of England and Scotland. They are considered the most intelligent dog breed. They are very energetic and if not given a job to do they start misbehaving. Next is the Maltese. The Maltese is a small dog that belongs in the toy group. They are covered with long, silky, and white hair. They are an ancient breed from the island of Malta. These dogs are lovable and get along with other dogs. Number three on my list is the Pembroke Welsh corgi. They are the smallest dogs in the herding group but are still excellent herders. They were brought to Wales by the Vikings and they also originated from Pembrokeshire. Number two is the daschund. They belong to the hound family and are short-legged dogs. Their name comes from the German which means "badger dog". Their size was developed to scent, chase, and scare small animals that burrow holes. Now for number one on my list.... the Shih Tzu!!! The shih tzu originated from China. It is said to be the oldest and smallest of the Tibetan holy dogs. They are also known as "Xi Shi quan" meaning the most beautiful women in China. They are also known as the Chrysanthemum dog because their face resembles a flower.   

This is my uncle's dog Twilight in the Philippines and I love her!!! She is a very loving and sweet dog, but when it comes to her puppies she is very protective.

Track vs soccer!

TRACK vs SOCCER

Track and soccer are both sports that many children in the

usa

enjoy playing wheter its with friends our on the team. But I will tell you that these two sports have there differences and there likes.

Track is very played game now, something that  is different from soccer then track is that in track when your at a meet and some body is in front of you but that person is on your team your still going to try and pass that person. So that you can get the big trophy and not the little dinky medal. Also in track you will encourage the people on the team by charing them on and by saying things like you can do it your almost there and phush your self to the top or you can pass him or her

In soccer there is a lot of team playing for example if you are at the champion chips game and you have the ball to make the final goal and every one starts to gather around you and you only have one team mate that is closet to the goal your going to pass the ball to him because its one of the only choices you have its ethere that or your team loses and think you and every one else on your team want to win. So you pass it to yyour team mate and he makes the goal your whole teams win .

Some likes that the two sports have is that they both cheer each other on to win. They have coaches and everybody tries there hardest even when am it track (and trust me its hard) scince I made it to varisty . Even though I don’t want to be there everyday I still have to go and practice so I can make me and my team happy. So just when you think that track and soccer are the same think agin they both have different meanings

my first trip on a airplane by myself

          My first time riding on an air plane by myself was when I was going to

Georgia

in the summer to spend time with some family. When my mom had packed everything we needed. When she took me and my sister breyuana to the air port and told us that she was not coming I was mad. When we got on the air plane we had to be put on the air plane as unaccompanied miners. When the air plane was taking off I was ok but when we got half way there me and my sister start crying. when it got close to

Georgia

my ears start to pop so much I could not her for the rest of that day. But when we got there my god mother had came to get us. I called my mom and talked to her then me and my sister stopped crying .then I saw my dog named ace and I had fun. on the way back I always rid on the air plane with someone. one time some of my family was going on a airplane to go to my aunts wedding my mom was with me and my sister and we never cried but my little cousin john was crying cause it was his first time and his ears had kept on popping so he was crying a lot and my other aunt that was with us told us that we should chew gum or yawn.

Another place to go for the summer!

      So last time I told that Woodloch was the best place to go. Well now say that your mom and dad don't want to spend money or they don't want to go to mountains for the summer (I doubt that they don't want to go). But I thought of another place to go in the summer were in New York there are lots of these place's. Even some of them are near New Rochelle. Its also some times very cheep. What is this great place called? Well its called a beach (You maybe know this all reallied). And it is a great place to go for the summer. There also very close (well some of them). For some of you it might take you like a minute to go there. When others it may take a few minutes. But i don't think it will take someone like an hour to get to the beach (it depends on what beach you're going to).Its also another great place to because the sun is out! The sound of the waves are great. And the sand is warm and hot. Or its the place to get tan there (some times). 

 But now say your mom or dad is like my dad that doesn't go to the beach because he doesn't like the sand on the beach (I know reason not to go to the beach but hey  you can't always get what you want). Then do what my family dose go the lake! We (me and my family) go to the lake with our neighbors(My house is a two family house but still very big). If it wasn't for our neighbors we would have never gone to a lake for more than just watching ducks pass by or feed them. I don't know what lake we went to but i know it  wasn't in New York it was in other state. But the lake we went to was the best. Every time we go there we play games cook our food (we make good food to or we just buy stuff). And it took us from our house to the lake about an hour or less. And the water was cooled and thats good for hot day. Also the lake i went to had like a small piece of an beach  on it. They also had a volleyball court there(which I never played on). Also it is  another  great place for tanning (sometimes).

Well I hope your family goes to the beach or lake for the summer!

My 13th Birthday

My 13th Birthday

I had such a good Birthday. I woke up that morning and my dad asked for my phone.I gave it to him and went my own way. I got ready for school I was so happy. I got a happy birthday from my brother Isma and my cousin Ashley. I went down stairs to go pack and to find something to eat. All of a sudden my dad gave me a new cell phone; it was a camera  phone and really cool. Just  what I wanted. I thanked my dad and ran to my brother Yves to go show him the phone. He said happy birthday to me and looked at the phone.
Well I had to go. So we left the house to catch the bus. I was good till I got to school. By the time first period started Dekarri, Ike and Shamon knew it was birthday and wanted to give me birthday punches but they didn't get me till we got on the bus. Dekarri was scared to do it at first but I said that I wouldn't hit back.Second period was art. More of my friends found out that it was my birthday but only one in that class wanted to give me punches. By the end of 3rd period everybody new that it was mt birthday and once I stepped out of 4th period I was crowed and caught. In 4th period Esgar gave me birthday punches but I gave him punches back. It was very funny.

By lunch I was done for. I'd gotten a lot of happy birthday's from people and good amount of punches. I tried to have a nice lunch but that wasn't happening. But it was still really fun. Running from people and laughing with people and playing with people it was one of the greatest birthdays I've ever had.

What was nice was that even when my birthday passed I had more fun coming to me on Saturday at church. They were celebrating march birthdays and anniversaries. It was a beautiful day with my friends. I couldn't have wished for anything better.
