Life

Live which we all got.
In America and everywhere else.
Freedom which was bought.
Everyone thinks that it is false.

Freedom

People are fighting over in Iraq.
Some of them will never make it back.
Obama says that he will pull them out.
But we all have our doubt.
When are they going to come back.

Gun Control

Guns. Are they good or bad? Here are three objects that gun control contribute too. First hunger, second our Freedom, and last is life in general. Where do you stand on the issue?
Hunger. Everyone has felt it at one point or another. Guns help feed those less fortunate. In states like Alaska, if you hit a moose or deer you call the police and they will get somebody from a food bank to come and get the meat. The second way is all the animals we kill we eat. Such as deer, one of my favorite wild game meats. And last over half of the meat found in restaurants is harvested with a gun. Even beef is harvested with a gun.
Freedom. Everyone in America has it. We did not gain it by using clubs in the Revolutionary War. I we would have we would have been slaughtered. Second, if we did not use guns in the war with Iraq, we would be devastated. And last, police protect our Freedom. And guess what. They use guns every day to do so. If they did not they would be easily over powered.
Life. Almost everyone knows of someone who has died from a gun shot fatality. But lives are saved everyday . The other day on the news I heard of a guy who some people told him they were going to kill him, he just showed them, and they took of running. The second way is if you are in the outdoors and a bear comes running up to you what are you going to do. Throw sticks at him or shoot him with a gun. And last is at 3:00 a.m. and you hear a loud crash, what do you want to grab, the broom or the 12 ga. Yeah the shotgun. That could save your life.
So what is your stand point on the issue now. Are they good or bad? I think that they are great. They help provide food, they help to maintain our freedom, and last they save lives. And to take my guns the government will have to pry them from my dead cold hands.

Why Majority of Young Boys Want to Join the Army

Why is it that all young boys want to run off and join the army? Is it for the thrill of the fight, is it to feel cool, or is it because they want to help in the war? Personally I think that is a little bit of all three. What do you think right know?
Here are some reasons why I think it is for the thrill of the fight. One reason is because majority of little kids love to fight. One example of that is my little cousins, every time I see them they are scuffling. Another reason why I think that it is for the thrill of the fight is all little kids love to think that if they join the army they will get to go around the world in search for the fight. That is why I think it is for the thrill of the fight.
Here are a few reasons why I think it is because they will feel cool. One way is thanks to all the commercials in today’s media the people from the army look like they are the best of the best. The second reason is all little kids want to be accepted, and they think that people in the army are accepted by all. One way is on t.v. you see soldiers walking down the road with a bunch of little kids following them. The last reason is they think that to join the army makes you cool. One reason is they get to shoot big artillery that kids think is cool. That is why I think that it is to be cool.
The last reason is because they want to help with the war. One way is they think they could make a difference in the battles. One example of that is they think if they would have been there they might have helped. The second reason is they have an honest concern for the troops and think it would be awesome to fight along side of them. The last reason is they think they could help with anything. That is my examples for they think they could help with the war.
Those are just some of my reasons why I think that almost all little kids want to join the army. One reason is the thrill of the fight, the second reason is they think that they would feel cool, and the last reason is they think they can help. Know what do you think on the subject.

Battle of Hill's Plantation

As Thomas marched down the old dusty road he knew that the rest of the confederate soldiers in his little “threw together”  company  knew his and his best friend Johnny’s secret. So Thomas and Johnny just marched in silence because they both knew one wrong word could put them in danger of being kicked out of the army. So while the rest of the men in their company was talking about their wives and there children that were at home..

With an eerie look on his face, Johnny asked Thomas, “Do you know what today is?”     

Thomas replied ,“ No, what is so special about today?”

“Today is my sixteenth birthday, you know July 7, 1862 .”

Well there was their little secret. You were supposed to be  eighteen to join the army, but Thomas and Johnny were only sixteen. And the rest of the thirty men in his company knew there secret. And the only person in the whole company that did not know that was their commander Thomas C. Hidman. Who always thought he was in control of the whole company at all times. Who right now wants to make camp at the Hill plantation which was fine with Thomas.

He looked over at Johnny and said, “This is fine with me my feet are killing me.”

They made camp right next to the owner of the plantations house. As they started pitching their tents the owner of the plantation Mr. Greg Hill was walking toward Thomas and Johnny with his gun in hand.

He asked Thomas ,“ Are you boys with the Rebs or the Yanks”

Thomas replied, “We’re rebels”.

Hill said, “ Well in that case my wife will cook dinner for all of y'all  tonight well all thirty of you”.

As he walked back to the house Johnny looked at Thomas and said, “ Alright were going to have a good supper tonight”.

That night the boys had fried catfish and fried potato's and biscuits.They all sat on chunks of wood and watched the sun sink under the horizon along with the pink sky around the sun. And everybody set  a great big bonn fire. Singing and telling jokes while Thomas and Johnny sit on pieces of wood just talking and watching the flames dance. Well until two of the men found Hills corn whiskey and got in a fight. Johnny noticed it and got Thomas’s  attention.

So Thomas said, “ Do you think that we should tell someone”.

Johnny said, “ No lets just watch there not even hitting each other”.

So they watched until one of the other men saw it and tried to break it up but both men were wanting to beat each other. Every one had trouble going to sleep that night, not just Thomas and Johnny. The next morning when the sun was barely over the horizon Johnny went to fetch some water from the creek in the woods.

He came back running and yelling, “ Yanks, Yanks, there in the woods a whole bunch of em”.

So every one of them grabbed up our rifles and took off across the field toward the woods with grass and weeds knee high with a pile of logs about one quarter of the way across the field.  

While walking Johnny looks at Thomas and said, “ I’m gonna be first 16 year old to kill some yanks”.

Thomas said, “ Not if I beat you to em”,  with a smile on his face.

Out of no where Greg came running up beside the two boys.

They asked him what he was doing, he said, “ You don’t think that I was going to miss out on killing me some Yankee’s did you?”.

All of a sudden a blur of blue came running out of the woods at the wall of grey. There was about 40  Yankee's in the group. They had a cannon and every one of there soldiers had a musket. There was yelling and bullets flying by and shells of the cannon exploding. The person to his right fell to the ground. Thomas took a split second and looked at the body laying on the ground. It was Johnny. Thomas grabbed Johnny by the arm and drug him behind a big pile of logs in the field to be out of the chaos.He looked down at Johnny who had his hand on his stomach.  He moved Johnny’s hands and looked he had been gut shot.

Johnny’s lifeless face looked up at Thomas and said “ I did not get any yanks, the yanks got me”.

Thomas said “ its not that bad”.

Johnny said “ tell momma bye for me when you get home”.

 Thomas said “your not going to die”.

So he tried to bandage up Johnny himself. But no matter what he could have done  Johnny died anyways. Thomas looked down at his bloody red hands, that was Johnny’s blood that some Yankee spilt.  So he reloaded his rifle and took off blazing past all of the other men in his company. He shot the first blue thing he saw and kept on attacking them with his bayonet. He was struck in the leg by a musket ball.  But it took two more bullets one in the stomach and one in the chest to stop Thomas. The battle was known as The Battle at Hill Plantation. It was a confederate victory over the Yankees thanks to one sixteen year old boy from Arkansas. When Johnny’s body reached his home, his parents were sad there youngest son was dead, but they were also proud of there sixteen year old run away. And Thomas’s parents felt the same way. But a more outstanding  sense of pride in there name thanks to their sixteen year old son

Where Do Authors Get There InSpiration?

Why is it that people come up with some of the ideas they have for stories. Is it because of a dream they had,or is it because of they have a great imagination. Or is it because of a story they once heard.
I have had a lot of weird dreams  that would have had made an awesome story for people of all ages. Is that where they get their inspiration, because  I can not remember all the details as vividly as some of their books have. And where do these dreams that make best seller books generate from. One reason I think that the author dreamed this book in a dream was because who makes kids to be secret agents.
Or is it because of an awesome imagination. Because they come up with some of these things can’t be dreamed up but just imagined like that. And me personally I do not get a great imagination. But do you? One reason that I think that the author just imagined the whole idea up was because in one point in the book some of the technology that they have is completely unrealistic. So do they dream these ideas up?
Is the material that they use once told by an earlier yarn spinner, or was it fresh material?  I could not be able to come up with some of the ideas that this author used. One example of that is some of the weapons that the nerd secret agents use I have read in other books but they are not real. So that is where I think they get some of they awesome materials that they use.
I think that they get all of their materials  from all of these three ways. From past story tellers, or books, and/ or a dream they had, or from their great imagination. So what do you think?

cold december mornings

One day I walked outside into the cold December air.The cold howling wind cut through all the layers of clothes I had on. Off in the distance I heard a group of dogs bark as they nearly froze.I smelled a wood burning stove at my neighbors. I manged to stay outside for ten minutes n the blistering cold. I went in and smelled the wonderful aroma of coffee. And I had to replenish the lingering favor of coffee. I look out the window and it looks like a blizzard well I will try again tomorrow.
