Manhunt

This week I read Manhunt written by James L. Swanson. This book was about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and everything that had to do with it, including the plan, the assassination, and the dream Lincoln had before.This book was so interesting and it could be one of my favorite books. It was super cool to read about everything involved, and I never was not interested in reading it. Overall this was such an amazing book, and I would definitely recommend it.

Sand

We walk along the thick sand, trying not the fall. We dodge the chasing waves from touching our feet. The sun starts to dip beneath the sea and clouds. The sky streaks with color. We get to the end of the beach and watch as the sun finally disappears. The sand sticks to our feet and it falls out of our hair with each step. We walk back and by the time we get to the sea wall, it is dark. We wash off the sand, but we still find more weeks later. 

The Edge of Nowhere

This week I read The Edge of Nowhere written by Elizabeth George. This book is a fiction book about a girl  named Becca King. Becca goes to live with her mom's friends while her mom takes care of something. Her world is totally changed and she has to face a lot of obstacles. This book is a really good mystery, that will make you think. I thought that this book was really good. It had a really interesting story and I was constantly interested, and it was hard for me to put down the book. I think that all of the characters were really believable and not cheesy or predictable. Overall I thought that this book was really good and I would definitely recommend it.

Water for Elephants

This week I read Water for Elephants written by Sara Gruen. This book is about  guy named Jacob. The story is told from two different times, but both from the same perspective of Jacob. The first is when he is a young man and works at a circus. During this time he witnesses a murder. The second time is when he is an older man and is living in a nursing home. I really liked this book, I thought it was really well written and had a lot of detail. Overall think that this would be a really good book for really anybody.

The Field Rush

Ollie Ollie!

Our eyes lock

and our hearts start to pound

we see them coming like a stampede

the worry of getting trampled runs through out minds

we run as fast as our legs can handle

getting trapped at the door

trying to move on the staircase

you had to be fast to survive

then we became apart of it

The dark clouds challenge each other

they twist and turn

forming

the funnel emerges

crawling towards the ground

so close, it can almost reach it

the alarm going off

the sound of 200 feet pounding

sitting down, squished against each other

complete silence

waiting for it to be over

Limericks

Limericks

There once was a sunny blue sky
but then it started to cry
it got all upset
and everything wet
and all people wanted was to be dry

There once was a bowl of ice cream
who started to violently scream
it started to drip
and quivered its lip
oh how the they'd been so mean

There once was a long road of hill
The road made our stomach kill
We drove to get the dog
that would end up on this blog
I think we went passed a mill

Cardboard Boxes

The strong wafting smell of cardboard boxes and acrylic paint
Throwing box on top of box until our muscles give out
Telling the secrets we all wondered about
Laughing until our stomachs hurt
The whole day spent undisturbed by everyone
Just the tree of us
The overflow room
