Kali's Journey part 1

I lay chained in the belly of the ship. Weeks must have passed, but here there is no light so I don't know. The ship lurches; I have finally gotten over sea sickness, but I hear my brother, Tau, vomit.
"Kali," he groans, "when will death come?" I nearly cry, but for his sake I must remain strong.

I steady my voice and reply, "I don't know, please don't give up." Cramped and afraid I listen to my brother's ragged breathing beside me. Weeks ago, he caught a fever and is slowly burning up. I lay awake wondering what time it is, then I realize it, Tau is not breathing!

"Tau," I scream, "Tau, are you there, can you hear me?" He doesn't even stir. I pray for this nightmare to be over, that I will wake up and I will be in my bed with Tau lying next to me. But it is real, Tau is dead, and I'm alone. The ship lurches a final time and all is still.

Suddenly the hatch is thrown open and two men climb down the ladder. As I squint at the glaring sunlight; I feel someone unlock my wrists and pull me up. A collar is put around my neck, not that I am strong enough to run anyway.

Once we are clean and have clothing we are taken to an auction house, I catch sight of my sister, Issa, we make eye contact, but then look away. I have heard stories of traders purposely separating families, so if Issa and I act like we aren't sisters, then there is the faintest possibility that we can be together. I feel rough hands grab my collar and pull me onto the stage.

"Who will start the bidding" the auctioneer asks.
"I bid 20" one man says.
"I bid 30" another one adds
They continue in this matter for some time. All the while a burning anger fills me with disgust and embarrassment. I want to cry, but I don't want to humiliate myself anymore than I already have. The only time I ever saw an auction was when it came time to buy animals for the farm.

The men continue to haggle over my price, until from the back of the room a small voice says "I bid 100 for her."

"Sold" says the auctioneer. I don't think I have ever heard such devastating words in my 14 years on this planet. I chance to glance at my new owner, and nearly gasp with surprise. The woman is about 80 and is bent and frail, she looks at me with sad eyes and says "Come child, we need to get home."

"Mistress," I plead, "could you buy my sister too?"

"Of course child." she says in a soothing voice, "Two are better than one."

After she buys Issa she asks our names, "My name is Kali." I stammer nervously, I look to Issa, but she looks as scared me. When we reach the lady's mansion she undoes her shawl and throws her cane on the floor. For the second time today she surprises me, she is a beautiful young woman! She then explains that her house is actually a stop off point for the Underground Railroad, and couldn't resist buying a few Africans who looked almost dead. Then she explains we are to get well at her house, then we are to go through the Underground Railroad ourselves.

Two weeks have passed and Issa and I are ready to leave. We are given extra clothing, food, water, maps, and new names. I am now Eliza, and Issa is now Anna.

As we leave that night the woman whispers "Run to freedom." That is exactly what we do.

Cheerful California

Thanksgiving break is a wonderful holiday. You just be thankful for what you have, and you get a lot of time to do so. Last Thanksgiving break, I got to meet my second cousin who lives in Australia. What we did together was worth a lot of thanking.

It took a lot of traveling to get together. My cousin came to California, and my family and I flew to California. It took earplugs, many packs of gum, and mind exercises  to overcome boredom to get there safely. We stayed in Los Angeles. It was super cool. Unlike Hesston, all the things were big and beautiful. Not everything, though. Somethings were hideously sad. Either way, we had a lot of fun there that was crammed into three days. It was kind of hectic, but at least we never got bored that much.

The first place we went to was Disneyland. It was seriously amazing! They had all these amazing rides and the castle was surprisingly different from the pictures. It sparkled in the sun, and was lit up during the night. At the end of the day, there was this beautiful firework show related to some Disney
movie songs. Everything was in such a rush that I don't remember every amazing detail, but I do remember that we saw places dedicated to each movie with characters from them too. Sadly, we only had one day there, so we didn't get to do a lot of things.

The next day, we went to Universal Studios. We didn't see a movie in the making, but we saw how and what they used when they make a movie. Then we saw the amusement park park. It had Harry Potter, Minions, Transformers, and a lot of other big hits. Like Disneyland, though, we only had one day, so we explored very little of this incredible paradise. It was definitely worth going to.

On the last day we spent in California, we went shopping. It was endless malls, manikins, and money. Absolutely boring. The next day, we went to Arkansas, where we chilled with my cousins. It involved a lot of running, laughing and playing. This vacation was amazing!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because of all the great food. My all time favorite thanksgiving food is mashed potatoes. The reason I like mashed potatoes on thanksgiving is because my grandpa makes them. They are so good. I also like turkey and ham. When ever my family comes over for thanksgiving we always have turkey, ham, this meatloaf stuff, mashed potatoes, this jello stuff, and rolls.

The family members that come over are just on my dads side. We have a thanksgiving meal with my moms family too, but I can talk about that another time. The family members that come over are my grandpa, aunt and uncle, and my 4 cousins, It's not a lot of people, but there is a lot of food. That's where I'm gonna end this blog post. Good-Bye.

Addiction

Addiction

          So this is a bit of a depressing topic but i'm mad at America so why not.
    So drugs have chemicals that hook your body on it. Well all of that is rong along with every thing else you know about addiction. lets start form the beginning so most scientists well lets get a rat and some heroin/cocaine laced water and some normal water. And in this experiment the rat almost always got addicted and over dosed. but Bruce Alexander a scientist saw this why is thare only one rat so he made rat park which was full of crawling tubes and color full balls for the rats to play with. And the rats didn't over dose.


Well i'm sad so by. oh and the next one will be happy than it's back to sadness.

World Series

                                                       Warning!!!!!!
                            Caution: Contents may be brain rotting,yawn-inducingly dull. Side-effects may include yawning, drowsiness, passing out, nausea, vomiting, internal bleeding, kidney failure,heart attack, and death! You have been warned!!!    

 Ahh, it feels good. Me typing random boring stuff on the internet. You unlucky few who decides to read this bloggy type thingy. Prepare for something so boring, so useless, they'll soon teach it in schools. I'm going to stay on my topics of blogs. So today I'm going to talk about world series. 

      The two teams in the World series are the champions of the two leagues- American and National. The only way for a team to win is to beat the other team in four games before vice versa. Through the whole history of the world series, the American League has won 64 times and that other one has won 47 times. So together there has been.... 64+47...uhhhh.....=.....111 World Series! That's a lot! That's all I know, so bye.


                                                                       The End!!

end of the season

Today, Monday, 10-17-16 is the end of the volleyball season. We are giving our secret sister one last gift. If you don't know what a secret sister is they are someone who gives you gifts anonymously. You turn the gift into the coach and the coach gives the the gift to your secret sister. Today we are also playing Bigger or Better. Bigger or Better is a game where you start out with a dollar and you go around town and trade for things that are bigger or better than your previous item. My group ended with a camouflage jacket and a hat. The winner of the game was another team and they had reclining chair! This volleyball season was the best part of the year so far.

If I could be a pokèmon gym leader


          If I was a Pokèmon gym leader, the types I would have one of these types: fighting, dark, grass, steel, dragon and ice. It would be a 6 on 6, only the trainer can suditute and the battle will be over when all 6 Pokèmon can't continue. My Pokèmon would be Lucario, Honchkrow, Aegislash, Abomasnow, Toxicroak and Gardevoir. If they challenger won the match, the badge will look like 5 pokèballs circling around a big pokèball called: the Pokè badge. That would their last badge, and could be in the Pokèmon league.

Now, if you want to battle, you must have 7 badges. If you don't, I'm sorry, but you would have to leave, I'm like a challenge. I would ask you leave, even if your out of the region, "like pallet town", and you say your destined to have a battle, I WILL NOT EXEPCT YOUR CHALLENGE!!!!!Even...Whoh, sorry; even if you're beginning your "very FIRST journey".

I've captured many Pokèmon in my past and battled the elite four and the Kalos champ. Because of them, i've gotten stronger. I was unstoppable, defeating any one in my way. In fact, some careless bump in to me,"purposely", in my way saying wow, what on you doing, after the easy battle they say oh, you wanted a battle.

Being a master is my dream. That is all; "P.S., come visit my gym when i'm a gym leader", see ya.

Why I LOVE SOFTBALL so much

My birthday party...

Have you ever had this week when everything is going your way? Well, that was this week when I celebrated my birthday. I invited some girls to go to the pumpkin patch with me. Since Friday was an inservice day, we celebrated it that day. When we got there, the first thing we did was go on the jumping pad. No one was there since most people were in the school.

After jumping for awhile, we went down these slides on sleds for a couple times. My mom's friend was there but she just let us go on our own. My friends wanted to go on these Buckaroo Barrel train, so I bought all of them tickets. So we got on and we all felt like two year olds. On the way back there was a loud pop that sounded like a gunshot. Everyone was looking at us and then we realize there was a tire that popped. It turned out to be Kat's barrel. It was so funny. We were laughing as we made our way to the maze. We split up and wandered around. We got tired of walking so we started running around. We got out of the maze really fast, so we made our way to these bike looking things. Two of my friends got in one seat carts while the rest of us got into a quadruple bike. We raced around trying to beat each other.

When we got tired of that, we went down these Out Law Chutes about 20 times. Every time we went down, we tried different ways to do it, and we raced each other. It was then time to go. We were very tired and were ready to leave. My mom was at the front when we got there and she drove us home. When we got to my house, some of my friends played with my little brother Haddox while supper cooked. We had chicken noodle soup and it was delicious. The football game was at Hesston, so we went to go watch. At the end of the third quarter we dropped most of the girls off. Two of my friends came over for a sleep over. We ate a lot of popcorn as we watched scary movies. The show we decided on was about this doll named Lily D. It was really scary and Katie kept squeezing my arm. I am surprised I didn't have handprints printed on my arm. We got really frightened so we watched Total Drama until about 1. Then we fell asleep.

Saturday was the best of my life, but that is another story. It was so fun!!!

The Chronicles Of Narnia Prince Caspian

I love the book Prince Caspian It is about 4 kids named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. I have read all of the books or almost all of them I really love them. I think my favorite character is Aslan or maybe Reepicheep, which is a mouse after all. Aslan is the king of all Narnia and he travels over seas to different country's. Reepicheep is a mouse he lost his tail in a battle, but Aslan gives him a new one.
I think this is one of my favorite series of books. There are 3 movies and 7 books the movies are The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage Of The Dawn Threader. In Prince Caspian, Caspian was the lost Prince of Narnia he was stolen by his uncle King Miraz (I can't remember what country he ruled.) So, this guy which worked for the king told Caspian he was the true King of Narnia.
I think I also like Lucy she is amazing in Narnia she is Queen Lucy the Valiant. I, also like Peter and Susan, Peter is the High King of Narnia and Susan is Queen Susan the Gentle. Edmund in the first book wasn't as kind as he is now in Narnia he is King Edmund the Just. I really hope you can read the book it is a really good book.

Hobbies

Everyone has hobbies that they do in there spare time lick some people like to paint and others like to play games, me I like to create or put together models of cars or planes. I created my first model when I was nine, it took me ten minutes to put together and all I had to do was snap the parts together.
  As I got older I decided to build bigger models until I got tired of snapping them together I wanted a bigger challenge so I went to the next level. I decided to get the bigger models that had thousands of pieces. They took my at least a couple months to build. Even if I had help it still took a long time to create. I happen to not be working on one right now but I am searching for a new model to start.
 Many people have certain things they like to do and I like to play basketball and football but I also like to create models.

My 100+ pets

One time when I was around seven, our family had over one hundred pets. Only for a few years, but it was still over one hundred pets. Okay, it was fish. I know, now it sounds boring, I didn't have 100+ dogs to play fetch with, or tons of cats on my lap while I am reading my books (sadly i'm allergic to cats). But it still sounds cool that I get to say I had more than a hundred pets.

It all started when we got a fifty gallon fish tank from a friend. As you can imagine, we could fit a bunch of fish in there. we of course didn't put nearly as many fish as one hundred in the tank. But there was a certain species of fish that is important to this hole blog. I forgot there real name but we called them angel fish, they were all white, slightly transparent, and probably the smallest fish in the tank. We had a couple of these fish in the tank. This is where all the problems began.

After several days or months I can't remember, there were small baby angel fish swimming around the tank lying low from all the other big fish swimming above them. More days pass then there are hundreds of them. To be honest, our family could have lived off of selling those fish. That was exaggerated of course, but we did give a lot of angel fish back to the store. If you think we named them all, we didn't, there would be no way of telling which is which after that. Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this, and that you would like to check out other blogs from me that will be posted sometime in the future!

     Over & Out
                Book Worm

My Friends

             




                                                                   My Friends 

             My Francs, Me and my friends hang out together a lot. Some of my friends play sports with 
me. We love sports a lot some of us play soccer, and volleyball and in the summer we play baseball, and the school they play football for the school. 
          What i love a bout the they are there are there for me. Like win they was at my house i wont fill so god the will say will guest get wares if you don't get up and at school i will get nerves for the test and they will say you got this we Belgian you, or if i what to int spirants they will say never give up.
              A we bend there for etcher we will fit same time but we will work it out and that you i love them.           

Colors Do Clash

Ok, it's time to talk about clashing colors. First, let's start with a definition, clashing colors are colors that don't go together or look terrible together,like orange and grey or navy blue and black. I hate it when people wear clashing colors and I try to avoid it whenever possible. I understand that you might not care if colors clash, but I am going to try to change that.

Let's face it, when you wear colors that clash it looks awful. What kinds of colors clash are different for every person because it's based on an opinion. Some colors that I think look good together, you might not. And that's ok, each person can have their own opinion. It's important to see that not every color compliments every other color.


Still not convinced? Well think of it like this, if you don't comb your hair in the morning it usually doesn't look good, and people notice that. It's the exact same thing with colors. You may not always have time to make sure everything matches, but it will show if you really do try.

why my favorite pokemon is Milotic

          There are a few reasons why my favorite pokemon is Milotic. One reason is because I like water types a lot. Another reason is because Milotic's typing is really awesome. Its typing is water which pretty much has only two weaknesses which is grass and electric because water is weak to grass and electric. Another reason why Milotic is my favorite pokemon is because it is a tank and it can learn some of the dragon type moves. Another reason why Milotic is my favorite pokemon is because it is a good special attacker.

Art

Art is a wonderful task you do when you want to express your feelings in some way. All art is fantastic to look at if you tried. Some people may dislike it, but it doesn't mean it's bad. To me, art is a craft waiting to be finished, a painting waiting to be painted, or a song waiting to be sung. Art isn't just crafts and drawings. There are different kinds of arts. Everyone is good at some type of art.

I mostly make art so it can decorate my room. Sometimes giving others your art is fun! Then you can make another piece of art. There are many other uses for art. You could sell it, and earn money for your hard work. You could also enter it in a competition, and get recognized for your hard work. The best reason to make art is to just inspire and do it for fun!

There are many tools you can use to make art. There is paint, markers, colored pencils, pens, crayons, and other fun tools. There are times when you need to use many tools for 1 one piece of art. Those are usually the most creative types of art. My favorite types of art are when jokes hidden in my art.
In other words... comics! Plays! Movies! ...or maybe stories?

Stories are fun when you have something funny to write about. Sadly for me, I have nothing to show as an example. I mean, if you count dropping your water bottle every 2 minutes between classes funny. If you think that is not funny, I agree with you. It's just unfortunate. Especially if you keep on slipping from the water that is spilt out because your water has the weakest lid ever. Then when you get home, you realized you left your homework in the bathroom from when you got a paper towel and you get a rage quit at life. Of course, you won't because then something awesome happens like your mom gives you your favorite dinner or something. I don't know, but that's never happened to me, by the way.

Soccer

My favorite sport I play (you can probably guess from the title) is soccer. Soccer is a fast paced game, and a faced paced games gets me exited and competitive. This is one of many reasons why I prefer soccer over the many other sports there are. Also are team has a lot of fun playing the games even though we might not win the game.

I think it would be a great idea to make soccer a high school sport. So i could continue to get better and better at the game, Also so i don't have to do cross country like my brother... to much running. But cross country is still a great sport! Just to much running and not enough strategy for me. Anyway, soccer at high school would also allow other schools to have the same opportunity to have fun and be competitive.

There are other mods and I'll get there briefly, there are so many things you can do in Minecraft, build a house, build rollercoasters, explore caves, blow up/explore villages, defeat monsters and mine underground.

Villagers were like running but it was to late, but I miss the whole thing. There are mods like TNT, star wars, pokemon, etc. If you have played MINECRAFT, you'll know what I mean, ever made a house that was like a maze? I have once, never made it out of my house. TNT mod is a place with lots of crazy TNT. I love star wars mod, I mean, I love star wars. There lots of creatures, they're cool, there creative and they're fun to mess with.

Football

Last week I played a town called Pratt. Since one of the starters on my team had a concussion, I had to go and play starting tailback. Our original starting tailback went to go play his position. So that whole week I was running most of the plays in practice. I couldn't wait till the game came. I was both nervous and excited.

When the game came I was nervous, but once the game actually started I was ready. We started out on defense, but got the ball back quickly. By the end of the 1st half the score was 26-0. We were winning. Later on in the 4th quarter they scored their first touchdown. Our coach got really mad at that. When the game ended we won 40-6. After it ended we shook hands with the other team.

the manga i was reading

Maria Sarapova

  Maria was an amazing tennis player she beat many people including Lauren Davis, and she has played the tennis star Serena Williams many times. She is ranked 96 in singles. Unfortunately Maria is not able to play currently because she failed a drug test. Athlete Maria was taking the drug Meldonium since 2006. Meldonium is a drug that helps endurance and increases blood flow in athletes and is illegal. One of the reasons she was taking it was because it is a guard against diabetes. Therefore she will be banned from tennis for two whole years at least. Maria will not play professional until French Open 2018.

My Cats

My cat, Patches, is an interesting factor in my family. He is cream with dark grey splotches and has a pink nose. We call him "The Dictator" because he is a jerk to all the other pets. Although he is not nice to his brother and our dog, he is sweet to me. He likes to follow me around my house until I sit down then he hops in my lap and starts to purr. Although I like him getting in my lap, it gets annoying when he walks on my homework or books. Patches has a provocative disposition, he can be nice one minute an ready to claw my face off the next. At no time give him catnip, because he gets even more hostile towards us.

My other cat, Mittens, is polar opposite of Patches. Mittens has gained the affectionate nickname of "Marshmallow" for his size and behavior. He is Black with white on his face, belly, and feet. Mittens is a snoozy cat who loves to eat. You would think a 17lb pound cat would have a loud bellow, but he has the littlest meow you ever did hear. Unlike his brother, Mittens lives for attention, he will hop on you when ever you sit down. Despite his size Mittens fears everything including the door bell. How two cats that are litter mates are polar opposites I will never know.

GUTS

Guts by Gary Paulsen is about his real adventures that parallel Brian's in the Brian books. One of the adventures was that Gary Paulsen was attached by a moose. Pausen had also made his own bow and arrow. In a lot of ways Brian and Paulsen are alike they both made bows and were attached by mooses, But Brian was just one of Paulsen's characters.

Artists Block

Do you know the feeling when you can't think of anything to draw? It happens to me almost every time I try to draw, paint, or sketch something. There are many ways to over come 'artists block'. Sometimes the best thing to do is start drawing lightly, because then you can see what you do and don't like so then you can try again and only use the things you do like. 

Another way to overcome this is by trading ideas with someone else. To see someone else's  ideas might make it easier for you to come up with some ideas yourself. If this doesn't work you can try my favorite way to come up with things to draw. I like to just sit and think for a few minutes to help me organize my thoughts.  This is the most time consuming  solution but, for me, it has the best result.
