My Restaurant

By Nora

    Having a family restaurant must be really fun. And if that's fun, having your own restaurant must be a blast. If I had my own restaurant, I'm sure it would be crazy, creative, and very fun…Especially for the kids.

    If I had my own restaurant, I would call it Nora's Château. I don't know if I would actually stick with that name if I actually got my own restaurant, but for now, that's what it's going to be.

The building my restaurant is in would have to be very, very colorful and in a shape of an ancient medieval castle. The building would have a moat around it and it would be filled with crocodiles and alligators that were once injured and needed a new home. Around the moat would be a wonderful, beautiful garden filled with flowers of all colors and gorgeously cut bushes in the shape of me. There would of course be other dazzling plants that I don't even know the name of. I would have my home in the top floor of the castle, and the restaurant would be on the bottom floor. All the people who work at my restaurant would have to be dressed in very elegant medieval clothing and they would have to have the best of manners…Unless I tell them not to. The inside of my restaurant/house would be so magnificently incredible, there's no possible way I could tell you.

In my restaurant, I would serve all kinds of food from all over the world. I would have five cooks for each category of foods from around the world. The cooks would HAVE to be five star chefs. Each customer who enters would get to choose if they want Italian food, French food, German food, American food, Mexican food, Chinese food, and many other types of food on my long list. For every type, there would be a certain room to go to. When the customer chooses what type they want, they would be escorted to the room that has that kind of food. My restaurant would definitely be very high class.

But there is one problem. The problem with is that I want everyone to be able to eat there, even if they don't have too much money. So the great thing about it would be that it would be very high class, but at a fairly good price. On certain nights I might raise the prices, and on others I might lower them. But I'm going to make sure I have gigantic, tough, and fit body guards at all doors of the building. I would also have security cameras ALL over…except in the bathroom stalls, but there would still be cameras in the bathroom. I would make sure they're hidden too.

When I actually get my restaurant, I'm sure there would be a lot more to add, but for now, this is all I need. If I actually got this restaurant, I would be overjoyed for sure.

    

Reviewing: The Twilight Saga

By Nora J

The Twilight saga includes some of the most popular books of the new age- Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. These books are more popular with teenage girls, but there are still other people who read them. (Which I think is kind of weird, when it's a boy, but I try not to care.) In my opinion, they are the Best.

I've read the whole saga twice. Once when I first bought them, and then the second time about a month later when I kind of forgot what happened in the third book Eclipse. I am definitely not the kind of person that likes to watch or read the same thing twice… unless the thing I'm reading or watching is really great. I can tell when it's great when even though you know exactly what's going to happen, you have the same crazy emotions you had the first time. And with these books, that happened. Especially with Breaking Dawn because I think that's the best and most exciting book out of them all.

I know how in magazines and on celebrity news shows they always talk about how crazy teenage girls go absolutely psycho over the movie stars that are in the movies based on these books, but to tell you the truth, the movies aren't even close to how great the books are. And how there's team Edward and team Jacob. I think that's really dumb how they have teams because everyone knows exactly how the story turns out. And also I don't get why they have teams because what exactly are you rooting for? But if I had to choose what team I would be on, I would choose Edward's because for one, vampires are awesome, and the other reason is because I read the books before the movies came out and right off the bat I was on the vampires' side. Also technically the werewolves are the "bad guys" in the books, but now they screwed up the whole story in the movies, which kind of pisses me off, but I deal with it.

I think the reason people (mostly including teenage girls) like these books so much is because they compare themselves to Bella, and reflect themselves onto her. It really makes you daydream and actually makes you almost believe that there are vampires and werewolves somewhere.

I really suggest that whoever is into books about romance, excitement, sadness, and some other awesome stuff, should definitely read these books, because I almost guarantee that whoever you are and if you like those book genres, you'll love them…very much.

Oh yeah and remember…vampires
are

Awesome! J

 

 

    
 

 

 

 

My Restaurant

By Jacob

Jacobs + Iasi's Pizza Factory. Me and Isai will be rich and pay the employees 8 bucks an hour. And huge arcade with 25 Machines. The dining room has 3 Big screen TV.

My Sandwich

By Karlie    

If I could make a sandwich that has not been made yet or is not usually made I would make an Oreo Peanut Butter Sandwich.     

The sandwich would be like an ordinary peanut butter sandwich. In-between the top piece bread and the peanut butter there will be 2 Oreos. The 2 Oreos will make the sandwich crunchy and delicious.    

Now that would be the sandwich that I would invent. Now you should try it and see if you like it!J

You Should

By Karlie

One of my favorite movies is Pearl Harbor I like that movie because there is a lot of action and it is very interesting.

I in my opinion if u haven't watched Pearl Harbor you need to. It is one of the best movies I know I have ever watched. If you like action movies and also some drama, and you like to learn more about your history, this is the movie for you.

And that is my persuasion to get you to watch the movie Pearl Harbor.

CHARiTY

By Lupita

If I ever had one hundred dollars that I couldn't spend I would probably find someone that was homeless I would give it to them. It is sad that they don't have money and since I can't spend it the money might as well go to some one that needs it. That lucky person would probably get to eat some food in the first time in a while and maybe even get some food for the next day or two. If there was a thrift store around they could maybe even buy some clothes and blankets. He or she would be really thankful for the money and what they could do with it.

MY BROTHERS!

By Lupita

I have four brothers but no sister. Many people don't like their siblings but I do well only sometimes. They can be nice to me and they can be mean to me too.

My oldest brother Victor was my favorite; he was twenty-nine years old. It is really weird that I and he have the same birthday. My mom's oldest and youngest kids born on the same day is really weird. Second is Sergio probably the craziest one of us all. He is really creative and nice, to me at least. Before when we were younger we always used to fight but now that we are bigger not as much. Actually we get along really good now.

Third is the middle brother Martin. He is not very nice to me. Martin usually yells at me because I don't help my mom as much as I should. Then there is Junior me and him are constantly fighting but then we get over it pretty quickly and then we fight again. But he does help me out when I want my parents to let do something and I do the same for him.

I love my bothers but they do get on my nerves every once and a while. No matter how mad they might make me about dumb things like boys and glasses they will always be my crazy brothers.

If I Had $100

By Jonathan

If I had one hundred dollars, but I had to give it to a charity, or a person I would give it to someone who would give it to St. Judes. I would tell him to go play the lottery 100 times over and if he won give it to St. Judes. And I'm talking about the power ball, or mega millions. It would do a lot of good if someone gave that kind of money to St. Judes. That would be millions of dollars towards finding cures for cancers. They would be able to have better fund raisers more people to find cures.

When you think about it why not what kind of heartless person wouldn't do that? I'm not saying that it's your fault if you don't think of that at first, I'm saying you should drop dead if you win the lottery and end up sueing St.Judes and try to bomb St. Judes if that doesn't work.     

My Sandwich

By Emma

My sandwich would be on sourdough bread. In it I put meat, Peanut butter, banana, tomatoes, bacon and, chips. I have never tried this sandwich before. It sounds gross but good at the same time I am going to try it when I get home.

 

 

 

BURIA!

By Aly

If I opened my own restaurant I would open a place called Buria. Buria, is Russian for storm, and I really like the way storms look. Buria would be kept in Novosibirsk, Russia because I really, really like Russia.

    Buria would be in a gothic looking building, the walls would be a grey or black with gargoyles'. Inside the walls would be blood red, and the tables would have red satin table cloths with a black candle holder thing in the middle. Some times on special occasions I would put black roses up on the walls, or maybe make a bouquet of black, red, and purple roses.

In my restaurant I would serve a lot of different foods but I think I would serve a big variety of steak. I love steak because they're easy to cook, they taste good, and who wouldn't like a good steak? Many different people would work at my restaurant; the manager's name would be Dimitri. J And that's about it, so yeah.

Chad’s Happiness

By Chad

My restaurant's name is Happiness. We serve LIMBS with SALSA and stuffed with BEANS. The restaurant's color is RAINBOW. There's a gigantic SMILEY FACE on the sign. We kill the witnesses that see us cooking, and serve them up, which is often. We kill our chefs so they don't rat us out to the PIGGY PIGGY PIGGIES. We serve human baby's eyeballs. Dylan is the head chef, and he loves murdering people. He eats their eyeballs, and gets yelled at frequently for eating the grub. He works here because we sued them for robbing us, and we WON! WOOOHOOOO! We spent all the money on improvements on the restaurant. Heist is the teacher of the cooks, on how to KILL the WITNESSES and cook 'em UP!

PERSUASIVE ESSAY!

By Aly

My favorite book is Vampire Academy, by Richelle Mead. There are many reasons why I like it, and there are reasons why other people all over the world, even Japan, like the book. For one even though it's a vampire book the characters have real life qualities, and they deal with some of the stuff any person would. And who doesn't like a good adventure book that is made for young readers?

At the beginning of the book it's pretty boring, because she's explaining who she is. But once you get about two chapters into the book, it sort of compels you to read more and more. I should know, I stayed up until four in the morning, and got up at 6:00 o'clock A.M. and read more! And then Rose, the main character, sort of relates to everyone in one way or another makes you think anything is possible. Of course not all guys would like this book, but there are a few.

But what originally attracted me to the book was that I was in the nearest place with a bookstore, and I thought their was nothing to read there; then I saw the cover of Shadow Kiss and I thought wow, the name sounds… well boring but the cover looks cool! You see that's how I pick books; I look at the front cover. It's probably not the best way, and not reading the back until after I buy it sure isn't smart but I haven't got a bad book so far.

Anyway, Shadow Kiss was the first book I read of Vampire Academy, even though it's the third book, after that I couldn't put it down. The words sort of drew me to read more and more, and if I had to pick the book that helps me through rough times it would be Shadow Kiss all the way.

I have already suggested the book to a couple people, and I'm trying to get my book back from Ethan's mom, I'm going on four months without the first book and I really want it back. But I think that this book will be a favorite of mine for a long time.

So, yeah, that's about all I could say about it. The books just so amazing that there are no words to describe it perfectly! So you'll just have to see for yourself. Oh, and the book also made me fall in love with Russia, I still love the U.S.A. but I plan to travel to Russia one day. J

Movie Review

By Nefer

        The movie A Walk to Remember is really nice and romantic. It's about a girl that has leukemic cancer (Jamie). And a guy that does pranks with his friends and one day it goes wrong and he has to do lots of school activities. One of them was a play that Jamie was also in, she says that she'll help him, but only if he promises not to fall in love with her. He thought that that would never happen but they start getting really close and he starts to like her.

        Jamie hadn't told Landon that she had cancer, she had only said that she had a wish list of things to do during her lifetime. She wants to do things like be friends with someone she doesn't like, get a tattoo, be in two places at once, and making a telescope to see a comet that is coming. One day Landon took Jamie to do some things on her wish list. They were starting to like each other more than before.

        When Jamie and Landon where both in love with each other Jamie's dad told her that if she loved Landon to tell him about her cancer. Then when Jamie tells him, he goes to his dad who is a doctor and asks him to help Jamie; his dad sadly couldn't because he didn't know enough about her past. One day her cancer gets really bad and she almost dies, after she builds the telescope and see's the comet Landon proposes to her and she says yes. They get married at the church that her parents were married at the Jamie dies a while after.

Evolution v. Creationism

by Jonathan

    It's not really my favorite show but if you're an atheist you should watch that show. It disproves evolution. You need to watch it.

    Take this into consideration: If creation is true and you are not a Christian do you really want to go to Hell? Do you want to burn alive and never die? Do you want to be in pain so bad you can't even imagine it? Do you want to go to Hell? If you said yes you really need to see a consular or something.

If creation isn't true and you're a Christian that does what they're supposed to do, at least you did something good with your life. At least you helped people. At least you had something to hold onto. At least you've lead a good life. J

    If creation is true and you are a Christian. Then you'll end up in paradise, forever. You'll be able to hear colors, smell them to. You'll be able to see sounds. There will be new colors, not new shades of colors completely new colors! Humans have five senses out of who knows how many? Your pet dog will be up there, your pet cat to. Witch do you prefer? Hell or Hevan?

    Do you want to watch it now? If not that's you problem and I feel sorry for you. If you do, GOOD FOR YOU!

Favorite show

By Dylan

My favorite television show is N.C.I.S which stands for Naval Criminal Investigations Service .There are two series of the show N.C.I.S Los Angles and just old N.C.I.S. My favorite is the old N.C.I.S because there are some great actors. In addition, the show shows the crime scenes and predicts about the crime. The show also shows you how to use evidence and how to trap the criminals.

This show is great to watch. It has action, mystery and adventure in one show. If you are the type of person who like this all packed into one show, check the show out. N.C.I.S. airs on CBS and USA networks. The show is never in order so you do not have to watch the first show then the second show like all other shows, example lost, chuck and desperate housewives. One episode is when is navy officer is murdered by her commanding officer.

The show has been on for years and has been rated for five stars. Our parents watch the show and the obviously do not change the show that must mean it is good. Watch the show on television at any time, mostly at 8:00 a CBS network.

 

    
 

 

 

 

    
 

 

    
 

 

 

 

 

Chad’s Book Review

By Chad

Think about your favorite book or movie.  Why is it your favorite?  Write an essay persuading readers to watch the movie or read the book.  Be specific and use lots of details.  Your essay should be at least three paragraphs.

I'm going to tell y'all 'bout Bluford High. I only read numero uno of the series. It is a very interesting teen book. It has a "murder" in it which makes it intense.

It all started off with Roylin. He was a 17 year old social outcast, shot before, lived with an abusive father, which moved out recently. Because of said father, he inflicted his pain on others, making him a bully. But when he meets the girl of his dreams, he needs cash fast, so he steals it from his old friend, who keeps all his cash in his wallet.

But when he steals it, Tuttle, an old man who owns the apartments, plays a dirty trick on Roylin. He makes Roylin think Mr. Miller is dead, and makes him do work or he'll call the cops. Then he buys the necklace for Korie archer, the grl of his dreams who just moved in, she cheats on him. And now he thinks he killed a man for nothing. Then he calls his one friend Cooper, and find out Mr. Miller isn't dead after all! Then at the end, he asks the popular kids to go chill with old dudes, and when Korie asks him to go out with her again.

Movie Review

By Emma

My favorite movie is Shanghai Knights. It is my favorite movie because it is really funny. It has some action too. The two main characters are Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan. Owen Wilson plays Roy O'bannon and Jackie Chan plays John Winn but becomes John Wayne.

John's dad got killed by a French guy that's 9^th in the line for the throne and he wants to kill all the people in front of him and blame it on the Chinese so he can become the king. John and his sister and Roy try to get revenge on the guy. It doesn't really sound funny but it really is.

Shanghai Knights is a really good movie. You should watch it. It will probably be the best movie you watch.

The Birthday Gift I desire

by Nora J

    I've wanted many presents over the years, and most of them I didn't get. There's one that I wanted for a very long time, but I still do not have it. My parents say I have to sell my quad in order to have it. I want to, but I just can't find a buyer.

    The gift is a mini dune buggy. I've always wanted one because they're super awesome in my opinion, and they're like little miniature cars. I've always wanted my own car, and a mini dune buggy is as close as I can get for the next three or four years.

    My dad used to have a dune buggy, but it was very, very old fashioned, and old. It had wooden pedals for the acceleration and brakes, and the steering wheel was wood too. Oh yeah, and the brakes didn't work. The paint job was super (I want to say something, but I won't)…cruddy, and the paint was pretty much gone. Also, the tires were all flat. The only time I remember driving it was when my dad "forgot" the brakes didn't work, and made us all crash into our gate, which is still broken. I don't necessarily remember what we did with that dune buggy, but I know it's not with us, and probably in a better place.

    For that reason, I want my OWN dune buggy that I drive…and ONLY I drive. And since Olancha is such a great place to have quads and dirt bikes and other toys, it would be perfect for me to have a mini dune buggy. A good use for it would be, for example: if we run out of milk, (which happens pretty often) I could go to the Mobil and get it. I would be having fun at the while I'm doing something good. I could also go to the school with my friends and be able to get home without the help of my parents

    On the mini dune buggy, I'd need working head lights, two seats, a good engine, and some sort of storage compartment. If I could get all with these things on a fabulous miniature dune buggy, I'd be a happy camper!

The Strangest thing I’ve ever Eaten

by Nora

Everyone around the world eats strange things, but to them, there's nothing wrong with eating that. In America, the foods we eat are completely normal to us, but people who live on different continents probably think we're crazy. But it's the same for people in America too. When we see people eating dogs in Korea, we think it's terrible and disgusting, but to them it's delicious.

    One of the strangest things I've ever eaten was camel meat. I was in Morocco and we were eating at my dad's sister's house. It was close to our departure and his sisters wanted to cook something special. Everyone sat down at the table and I asked my mom what we were eating, but she didn't answer me. The main dish (which was the camel meat) looked exactly like beef burger patties, so I assumed it was beef. When I tasted it, it tasted somewhat like beef, but slightly different. I decided to stop eating it and say I was full just because no one would tell me what it actually was and I was getting a little nervous. (I never eat anything without knowing what it is.) Everyone kept pushing me to eat it, so I ate little by little very slowly. I didn't feel too pressured because it didn't feel like they were hiding something from me or I wasn't in on a secret they knew. So over all it went pretty well.

    When my parents actually told me what it was, we were already home in Olancha. My mom and I were discussing the trip when we went over all the crazy foods that were there. Like: snails, sheep head, sheep eye balls (which I dared my dad to eat), and many others. All of a sudden she said camel meat. I was like, "Camel meat?! When did we eat that?" Then she said it was the day when we ate the stuff that looked like beef. I was so disgusted I just scrunched up my face and started repeating, "Eeeeeeeew!" over and over again.    

    I decided from then on that I always HAVE to know what I'm eating or else I'm not eating it.

5 People I know

By Nefer

One of the people I know is Angela. She is a very happy and cheerful person. She had really curly hair that can sometimes get really crazy! Angela is always really helpful and can always cheer people up. She is a very good friend.

Another person I know is Nora. She is a very weird person. She likes wearing colorful stuff, and she likes drawing. He is a very creative person! Nora is very smart; she gets a 4.0 almost every quarter.

A third person I know is Lupita! She is a very nice girl. She is very outgoing and cheerful. She is almost always smiling and giggling. Lupita is an awesome person!

Kayla is another person I know. She is short, skinny, and funny! One day she made up a family, Angela and I are cousins, Kayla's Angela's daughter, so I am her aunt. She has a very big imagination and is always making up things. She is a monkey because she likes climbing and hanging on things. She is a very cheerful person!

The least favorite person that I know is my big sister Lizeth. She is really mean to me. She can be funny sometimes but other times she is just really mean. She's tall and kind of strong. When she tries she can be nice and helpful. I don't like her a lot because she is usually mean to me.

 

 

Daydreams and Nightmares

By Jonathan

On the topic of dreams I'd write about a nightmare.

I was in a volcano I couldn't tell the time of day. Because it looked like night but the sun was out. The rocks in the volcano were shaped like skulls. I looked around and I heard a deafening screech. By the time I saw what did it, it was already too late. I saw what did it but its claws already stabbed me. It was like a big bipedal lizard; it was slimy spikes were sticking out of its back. It looked like a cross between an alien and a crocodile. Then I was at my house my mom asked me what was wrong I told her then her face looked like a zombie and she ate me! I saw my guts being ripped out and eaten like a pig would eat it. Then I was outside I saw my pet cat but it was a zombie then I got an ax and had to kill itL.

Then I thought I was awake but I was staring at someone one who was disintegrating.

Then I saw this exact image that I haven't saw until today!!! And then E.T. was staring at me. Then Michal Jackson blew my head off with a shotgun!

The Best Present Ever

By Jacob

The best present ever would be a brand new kick start Honda CR85R. With pink grips. The tires would be Dunlop with sponsorships from Alpinstars, Dunlop, Target, Wizeco, Geico Powersports, and Honda.

I would get a Fox helmet that was pink,(if your wondering why I want pink so much is because of breast cancer). Also I would get Pro Taper Schoolboy Handlebars. That would be the perfect combined B-Day present.

Describe yourself (in at least two paragraphs) as a child of 7

Well, if I was in a family of 7, I'd be driven NUTS daily. I'd get annoyed so much I'd beat the crap out of them. They'd be bleeding from the toe up. I'd also be shooting them with my BB gun. I'd laugh.

But, there would be some good times. We'd beat the crap out of other people. We'd also shoot them with BB guns, and get away. Heck, we'd even make them bleed from the toe up and laugh!

Birthday Gifts

by Aly

The best birthday present I've ever received is my cell phone. I have many reasons why it's the best present ever for me, but a lot of them would sound stupid so I'll go with the better reasons. First, I can't go a day without texting, so the keyboard on my phone makes everything way easier to type. Also, it has a music player, so whenever I want to listen to my music all I have to do is go to the 'music app' on my phone. And lastly, it's easy to keep track of people with, like whenever I'm down in L.A. I tend to… wonder, so whenever I need to find my mom all I got to do is call, now if only she'd pick up her phone when I call.

    The best present I could receive is a trip to Russia. I love Russia, so being able to travel there, without my parents to tell me where to go, would be absolutely great. I could go see art museums, movie theaters, and famous historical sites. Also the food in Russia is said to be delicious. So that's the best birthday gift I could ever get.

I’ll Never Be Able to Thank Enough…

By Aly

The person I would never be able to thank enough is not a person at all, but a pet. He may be a dog, but to me he's my best friend. His name is Rooky, and he's a collie and golden retriever mix, and really without him, I think I'd be lost and totally sad and depressed all the time.

And no matter how much I buy him stuff and hug him, and unfortunately, let him push me off the bed, he's still always there for me. Oh and he also keeps my dad from waking me up at 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning. Because no matter what mood I'm in, he's always been their when others weren't, and the fact that he cant actually speak makes him a good listener. I know I sound crazy but I would actually give my life for my dog, just because he was so nice to me.
