Why I hate bees by Zach

When I was little I used to get stung a lot by bees. On day my brother, some friends, and I was playing in my grandma's yard. My grandma said she would give all us five buck if we poled weeds in the back yard, so we said "OK." We started to pole the weeds. Then I poled one weed that was hooked to a bees nest. I got stung in the eye. I couldn't open my eye for two weeks. My brother had bees all over him. My uncle had to spray him down with water. My friends got stung a couple times. That is why I hate bees.

A Third Grade Memory by Zach

A third grade memory I remember is when I was nine years old I had a bike wreck. Before I wrecked I was going off a jump on my bike over and over again. Then I went home for an hour or two. Then I went back and went off the jump again. After the fourth time I stopped to take a brake. Ten minutes later I got up and got on my bike and went off the jump full speed. I fell off my bike right on to my hand. Three days later I went to get an x-ray. I sprained my wrist, I came close to breaking it. I had to wear a removable cast for about two months. That is my third grade memory.

The Weekend by Zach

I did different things this weekend. One of the things I did was I went to my last football game of this year. Another thing I did was when my casin came over he brought his scooter and we went to an empty parking lot. We scootered there for about three to four hours. Then we went back to my house and played videogames. We played a football game, and then we played a game called "Sims." After that we went back to the parking lot and scootered more but this time we video recorded it. That is what I did on the weekend.

My Home Town by Zach

My hometown is Eagle River, Alaska. I lived there for most of my life. I lived there for about 8 years. I went to two schools there before I was in 5th grade. I met a lot of people there. I still go back and visit my friends. When I visit my friends I go to shows with them, when we go to the shows we usly see local bands play. We also go to parties. Most of the time we just hang out at everyone’s house all the time. Sometimes we just walk around town. We go to stores and get soda or a snack. That’s what I do when I go back to my hometown.

Bob's Car by Zach

Bob's blue with white stripes Ford GT was a mess. It was rusty and had dents in the hood, on the doors, and on the roof. There was trash all over the back seat. There were stains on the passenger's seat. The back window was broken into millions of pieces. The passenger's window had rocks thrown through it. That is why Bob's car is a mess.

Shoes That Don't Fit by Zach

Genna's shoes did not seem to fit her. She had bright red shoes with white flowers. Her shoes were six sizes to big for her. When she put them on they looked like clown shoes. They were nice shoes but they were to big for Genna. That is why Genna's shoes seemed not to fit her.

Traped in a Haunted House by Zach

There was a group of teenagers that wanted to go to a haunted house. When they got to the haunted house they got out of the car. Then someone jumped out from around the corner and scared them. Then they went to get the tickets to get in the haunted house. When they got into the haunted house a guy told them, "Please don't touch the props, play along with the actors, thanks have a nice time." When they got to the room they were walking through, someone jumped out and screamed at them. After they got to the last room the door was locked. They tried to leave. They noticed that there was no one around. One of the teenagers said, " Let's try the front door." They went back and tried the front door. It was locked too. They knew that they were locked in the haunted house. They tried every door and every window - all of them were locked. One of the teenagers noticed a sign that said that the haunted house is closed on Sundays. They came on Saturday night. They were locked in until Monday morning.

THE DARK HOUSE by Zach

The Dark House was dark. The old dark fence was rusty and spooky. The clouds looked like they came from a horror movie. The trees were dark, moldy, and looked like demons. The weeds looked as hands coming out of the ground. The lightening was as close as ever. Bats were falling from the sky. The house looked like some where Dracula would have lived, maybe an old man too. The house was tall, moldy, and spooky. The inside smelled like old men. The top had spikes that looked like they'd kill. That is why it is known as The Dark House.

My Favorite Place by Zach

My favorite place is my house for many reasons. One of the reasons is I get to sleep. The second reason is I get to play video games. I get to play any kind of game unless they are too violent. The third reason is I can talk to friends on the computer. I can send them e-mails on Hotmail. The fourth reason is I get to have a BBQ when my step-dad comes into town. He's gone most of the time because he is a truck-driver. When we have the BBQ my step-dad makes a really good sauce to put on the chicken, pork chops, bratwurst, and stake. The BBQ sauce tastes like BBQ sauce with a hot taste to it. He takes BBQ sauce and adds hot sauce to it. Then he puts the sauce on everything and puts it on the BBQ grill. The fifth reason is I get to watch TV. When I feel like watching something funny I watch Comedy Central. They have funny shows on this station. If I want to watch people doing something stupid I watch MTV2. They have a lot of shows that people do something stupid. This is why my house is my favorite place.

A Hunter Lost His Way by Zach

There was a hunter going to the woods in August to go deer hunting. When he got there he saw a deer and shot at it, he missed it. Then the deer took off. The hunter ran after the deer. The deer ran throw a field of roses. The hunter losted the deer. The hunter started to walk to the roses. Then the deer charged the hunter. The hunter shot at the deer and missed. Then he jumped out of the way of the deer. Then the hunter got up and started to follow the deer again. The sun started to go down. The hunter knew he needed to get back to his camp or he would be in trouble. He tried to figure out which way he came from. He started to go one way. Then he said to himself, "No, I need to go this way. But the deer went the other way. I can't follow the deer because I need to go to camp. I'll go this way." One hour later the hunter kept going in circles. He told himself, "I need to make camp here for the night." He looked for a place to make camp. While he was looking for a good spot to make camp, he found a cave. He stayed in the cave for the night. Then he came out because he heard something. There was a group of people looking for him. He was taken home.

A Trip to Mars by Zach

An astronaut was watching the news. On the news there was a guy saying, "In two months we will send a group of seven astronauts into outer space." When it was time to go into space the astronauts said bye to their families. Then they got into the space ship. Two months later they landed on Mars. When they were walking around they found a circular building that had no windows but had a two foot tall door. They knocked on the door. A one-foot tall, green alien answered the door. "Yes," the alien said. When he noticed they were not from Mars he yelled, "ALIENS." "No we are astronauts from Earth," one astronaut said. "We are here to study your planet," said another. "Well then go north and you will fine a town they will help you there," said the alien. "OK," said the astronauts. When the astronauts got to the town they went to the library. Since they were too big to go in they had to have someone go in and get books on the planet. Then they took the books back with them and told people about Mars.

A Fisherman's Day by Zach

There was a fisherman that was doing his daily schedule getting ready to go out to the ocean. It was a hot summer day with a few clouds in the sky. His wife said, "Don't go out today. I have a bad feeling." "I have to go to earn money so we can eat," said the fisherman. After three hours the fisherman had caught nothing. Then a storm started out of the middle of no where. The fisherman tried to get out of it. The next thing the fisherman knew he was in the water. Then he saw it - the giant squid heading right for him. The squid grabbed him and swam away to an underwater cave. The fisherman said to the squid, "Thank you for saving me from drowning," said the fisherman. "Since I did you a favor, you have to do me a favor," said the squid. "Yes anything for you," said the fisherman. "I want you to stop fishing," said the squid. "No," said the fisherman. "If you don't I will keep you here until you will stop," said the squid. "Fine I will stop," said the fisherman. "Now I will take you home to your wife," said the squid. "Thank you,” said the fisherman. The next thing that the fisherman remembered was he woke up on the beach next to his house. He ran inside and told his wife everything that happened. They agreed that the fisherman must keep his promise. To this day, he has never gone fishing again.
