Having an older siblings can always be a good thing but some times its not. This is what happens to Gretchen with her older brother who is always being made fun over. And when he is getting made fun of she has to come in and defend him so that he doesn't get his feelings hurt.

Poem

I think that the poem means that the the popular people are getting all of the attention and the not so popular people aren't getting any attention. And the poem shows that the "somebody's" are getting all of the attention and that she was disgusted of what people think of them. This poem made me think more of the "somebody's" and what other people think of their popularly which makes them want to be like them.

In the Shoes of Characters

If I was Raymond I would be very happy to have a great sister that I have. She defends me if I'm getting bullied by other kids that always make fun of me. Even though other people say that I act like a little kid when I'm really older than my sister, she is always at my side to help me through the hard times I get myself into.

Hero

When I look at a person I look for a person that is really friendly so that we can get along really well and not have to fight every time we need talk. Another thing is, something that we can relate to like playing sports so that maybe we could practice that sport together.

One year left

If I only had one year to live I would want to go to all of the places and all of the things that I would wanted to do when I was littler and what I want to now. One of the things that I would want to do is go 4 wheeling since I went 4 wheeling when I was littler and I had a blast doing it. And a place that I would go is out west where I could go skiing for as long as I want. Another place is Florida because it's really warm and I could go golfing when every I want too.

Spring Break

This spring break I went to the dells for Sunday and Monday. We meet an another family there that was on my brothers baseball team. When we were there we went to the Wilderness.

Going into History

I would like to go down into history by doing something great, that can help everyone. To make me go down into history I would have to make everyone think that I am one of the best people out there. I think that I will remember this school year because Mrs. Johhan since she was a great teacher and that she had gotten very sick and had to retire.
