Childhood memory story: My uncle

**My story is sad but i chose to write it because it was the most important event in my childhood**

When i was about 6 or 7 years old out of all the people that i knew i think the most exciting person to me was my Uncle Danny. He lived next to us and took care of our great grandmother whenever my grandma wasn't their. He would take me to do fun stuff like throw the football he bought me back and forth Alot he would take me to get pizza, football games, to the park and it was always really fun. Since my parents were usually at work but he was retired he would always be the one to do stuff with me and i always found that to be fun. One of the coolest things i remember was his car it was a brown car with a gleaming white trim. I always though that his car was the best it was always clean and taken care of well because he had a lot of time on his hands after he retired and he was always washing it in his spare time. I thought it was the greatest thing ever he would sometimes take me out to a dusty road and drive as fast as he could in it just for fun.


Then there were the times he started to get sick. He would be going places but he always coughed Alot and started to do stuff with me less. But i would treasure it because of all the fun we would have. After a while he started to get skinny very quickly but i never knew why because i didn't hear much from anyone else about him. I heard my parents talking about something called cancer but i didn't know what cancer was cause i was so young. He was a strong and brave man but whenever i saw him it seemed like he was worried or nervous about something like a scared animal. He was usually kind and benevolent wherever he went but not anymore every time I saw him he kept getting worse and worse so i asked him what was wrong and he just smiled and said "every thing's fine" that's the one thing i remember most before he went away.


I remember asking my parents where Danny had went many times and they had just given me answers like he went out of town for a few days. After a while i had enough of it, I demanded from my parents that they tell me where he was. They gave me a sad look and said "Jacob... Danny passed away in the hospital several days ago." "We were waiting till we thought you were ready to tell you." I remember in my mind  I thought about wanting to run outside to see if he would be there washing his car as always next door because i truly couldn't believe that he was gone.I seamed and yelled and cried and was so angry they didn't tell me. I went and asked my parents why they didn't take me to say goodbye. They said that he didn't want me to see him in the condition he was in. My parents told me he wanted me to put his keys on the flowers on his grave.

Tale tell heart visual image project

I made i visual picture of the scene where the old man is killed by the mad man because that part of the story was the most suspenseful to me and i thought it was a great scene to illustrate.

Hunger Games Research Topic Writing!

My writing topic is about force fields and how they can connect to the Hunger Games and the outside world. Force fields are kinda like traps or prisons they keep you stuck inside away from everyone else. In the Hunger Games even though there isn't an actual one keeping everyone inside the Capitol can be kind of like a force field. The Capitol doesn't let anyone in the districts have their freedoms that they deserve. They have to fight for their survival inside the metaphorical cage the Capitol has put them in. The Capitol is the 12 districts invisible wall (University of Oxford. "Force Field." Http://www.wordreference.com) that keeps them where the Capitol wants them to be.

Another connection to the outside world with force fields can be Dictators that have complete rule which is exactly like the Hunger Games. Dictators can have a hold on everyone with an imaginary force field even though it isn't real it still keeps you doing what they tell you to do without having a choice or opinion about it. It kind of relates to the outside world like North Korea. They are forced to stay inside and are cut off  from the outside world.

A force field is like a prison and a prison is technically what the 12 Districts are in because of the Capitols actions. Force fields have many different connections to the outside world and the Hunger Games. Force fields keep you trapped inside away from everyone else,limit you to what you can do, and they pin you in one area without hope of escaping. The Capitol in a way is just like a force field they keep all the districts inside and keep them all at an inhabitable way of living("Force Field." Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)

A force field can also connect with the world by war. If one side finds an enemy and captures them they are a prisoner of war and are limited with their freedoms or their movement and are restricted to a certain space("Force Field." Www.merriam-webster.com). That's just another way a force field works and connects with what the Capitol is doing but instead for a certain period of time like in war the Capitol is doing it forever. There are many different ways the world and the hunger games can relate to force fields or the subject of being trapped. Force fields can have many different meanings or uses. The Capitol mainly uses a imaginary force field to rule over all the districts because they have the power to. They force the districts to do what they want for example the hunger games is the main one and that's pretty much like slavery but to the capitol its a big fun event but in the eyes of other its horrific.


Force fields have many more connections but those are some of the main connections they have to the outside world and the Hunger Games. I see force fields as more of a concept of imprisonment than the actual dome like structure.  All in all the Capitol is in a way a big imaginary force field to the districts and anyone who opposes them.

Hunger games blog out response and prediction

Chapter 22 is boring because there isn't any action its just peeta and katniss talking about their feelings and all this stupid lovey dovey stuff. I still think thresh is gonna have a fight with Cato and thresh will kill Cato. Katniss and peeta will probably look for foxface and have to kill her. So i think its all gonna come to a showdown between katniss and peeta against thresh and i think peeta and thresh will kill each other leaving katniss as the winner

Hunger games responses

Katniss uses some sleep syrup Haymitch sends her to knock out Peeta so she can go to the cornucopia to get his medicine even though Peeta doesn't want her to she mixes it with some berries and she gives it to Peeta but its too late when he realizes what he has just taken. I think Katniss kind of betrayed Peeta by using the medicine but it is kind of good and kind of bad that she is gonna go and get the medicine for him. Its good because if she goes and doesn't get injured she can get the pack and save Peeta. It will be bad though if she goes and doesn't get the pack because both her and Peeta will die. If  they have something at the cornucopia for everyone then if Katniss can get her pack she should try and take the other tributes packs too because one of the other tributes could be sick and need the pack if she gets it they might die and she will have a better chance of winning the games with Peeta. In conclusion i think Katniss will get the medicine and Peeta will live.

 Chapter 17 was my least favorite chapter on account of rue dying. Its stupid how she died to if she hadnt gotten entangled she might of live and where exactly did the boy from district one get a net? I Don't think thats fair espcially if katniss had just blown up the careers supplies and they said the careers did not find any suppliesin the wreckage. It doesnt make sense and it just makes me angry. I liked chapter 18 because katniss is finds out she can team up with peeta if she finds him so i think that they will both win since there is one other district with both tributes still alive. I dont want cato and the other girl from his district to win though because they don't deserve to win.

My life

My life is a mess but i find the courage to keep going but it seems like it never changes. I try to keep my head up and not underestimate the kindness of other human beings but sometimes it doesn't work well. I have a good life but at times it gets boring but i know that it will change at one time or another. This is my life though and i hope it's always amazing and i know that even if it isn't my friends and family will always be there for me through the tough times.
