Minecraft

Minecraft is a videogame where you can let you imagination like mine let free and build and do whatever you want.

Minecraft was made by Swedish creator Markus Persson. The game is an independent sandbox-building. Minecraft has gotten popular and has received great reports like A+ from 1up.com and best downloadable game of 2010 from Good Game. The game takes place in a world that you get to name made out of 3D pixilated texture cubes that you get to “harvest”( harvest means to hit an object either kill it or break it and keep it to use later) and do whatever you want with them.

Minecraft has three modes of play there is survival mode where you are take the surrounding resources and survive by keeping your health and hunger up. Creative mode is where you have unlimited resources, can fly which is awesome and now hunger. Then the last mode is HARDCORE mode which is like survival mode but everything is extremely difficult and no respawn ability (Respawn- the ability return or spawn to a certain point after you die). Also in survival mode you can create tools, weapons and anything you need to survive. To keep your hunger and health up you need to go out and “harvest” meat and cook it. At night you are recommended to stay in some shelter to protect yourself from MOB’s like spiders skeletons, enderman, and creepers and many others.

My opinion of the game is that it’s awesome I can do whatever I want like if I want to smack zombies with a sword or dig to the bottom of the earth I can and people should play it or they can watch Toby “Tobuscus” Turner play it on YouTube and because of Minecraft he has a job entertaining people with his videos and popularizing.

If by reading this you like “oh that sounds cool” or “that sound stupid” whatever and if you need more proof check out Toby’s channel called TobyGames and I think you should play this.

Converse

Converse is a popular shoe that has dominated the shoe business with their iconic design and their sponsors.

Converse was created by Marquis Mills Converse who started the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden Massachusetts in 1908. Hey made rubber winterized shoes for men, women, and children and 1915 started making athletic shoes.

The company took a major turn in 1917 when the Converse All - Star shoe came out. In 1921 Famous basket ball player Chuck Taylor became a salesman and promoter of the shoe and in 1923 he added his signature All – Star patch.

During World War II Converse started making protective gear for the military. In 1970 Converse bought the rights to famous bad mitten player Jack Purcell sneaker. Also in the 70s took a turn for the worse because with new competitors like Nike, Puma, Adidas, and Reebok converse had to file for bankruptcy. Then Mardsen Cason and Bill Simon bought the company and turned it around and made converse the number 7^th shoe in America.

Throughout the year’s converse started making different types like the originals Chuck Taylor and Jack Pucell there are others like the Weapon, low cut, one star, and the John Varvatos. Converse has also added glow in the dark, extra – high tops and the extra, extra – high tops but they have also had special editions that sponsor different bands and brands like DC comics, Dr. Suess, jimmy Hendrix, AC/DC, and the Gorillaz.

Converse has gone through good and bad times but they are still widely popular and there still around and that would help too.

Where the sidewalk ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends. 

By Shel Silverstein

 

The poem "Where the sidewalk ends" has metaphoric traits like "And there the sun burns crimson bright". this poem makes me feel why would they end the side walk. 

 

 

mother to son

Mother to Son by Langston Hughes shows that life isn't easy and you cant expect everything to be handed to you like what the mother said  Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. it also shows that every one lives a posh life in the suburbs or a nice city.  It's had tacks in it And, splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor -- Bare. That sentence means that her life has hit dead ends and bumps (Or crashes) but she kept going and that her son should to.

Rules of the road

What if you had to run away from the things you knew, the family you knew, and the way you lived. Jenna tried to run away from her father and Mrs. Gladstone has to give up the ways she raised he son. “Rules of the Road” by Joan Bauer is about overcoming challenges in your life 

Jenna Boller is a teenage girl who can sell anything at Gladstone shoes and shes happy to. But Jenna’s happy to go to work to get away from everything but mostly her father and his problems. One day Jenna’s boss Madeline asks her to drive her to Texas Jenna only wants to go to get away from her father. After the trip Jenna got the courage to stand up to her father’s drinking problem because of Harry’s death. She said to him “I can’t be with you unless you change because seeing you so out of control, seeing you wasting your life is too hard for me. I can’t pretend like you don’t have a problem you need help, Dad! You’re an alcoholic. There’s help everywhere for what you’ve got. Bu you’ve got to want to get it”. Jenna’s dad denied everything she said and said that he could handle it but she didn’t believe that.

Madeline Gladstone is a manager of an above average shoe company who has to deal with her age, company, and her son Elden. After Mrs. Gladstone retires her son Elden is planning to take over Gladstone shoes and sell it off to a way more successful business because of all the money they make off of their cheaply made shoes. Mrs. Gladstone hears about this from all of the store owners and some like it but she WON’T tolerate it. Gladstone shoes dose get taken over but Mrs. Gladstone gets hired as the quality control representative of shoe warehouse.

There are many challenges in your life. Like running away from your past or giving up your ways but you can overcome it.

Hunger Games pradiction

What if the world you knew it was divided up into 12 districts with many restrictions and every year two kids from each district to fight to the death The Hunger games by Suzanne Collins is about leaving everything you knew and being forced to literally fighting for your life.

 The "Hunger Games" is about Katiss and Peeta who are two teenage kids from district 12 who are chosen to fight to the death in the Hunger games. They are both sent off to the the capital Panem to train for the games with their coach and only winner of district 12. after their training they are to show off their skill in front of the gamemakers then they go to a conference on there last day before the games.The day of the games everyone from each district meets up at the cornucopia  and wait for the signal to begin. After the signal every one runs off in every direction. Through out the games many die and only a few are left. and that's everything up to now.

I predict that Katniss and Peeta live through it and win and go back to district 12 with their families rich and living in victors village. I also think Katniss and Peeta will actually fall in love because after spending so much time together in the cave they will have stronger feelings for each other.

Rules of the road

What if one day your working at your job and your boss comes up to you a teenager who has just learned to drive asks you to take her or him all the way to Dallas, Texas. Rules of the road by Joan Bauer shows that you can be responsible for your self.

Rules of the road in about sixteen year old Jenna Boller who works at Gladstone's shoes in Chicago.She is one day asked to leave Chicago to take her boss Madeline Gladstone asks her to take her all the way to Texas. Jenna agrees to go for the reasons  of to get a bunch of money and to get away from her alcoholic father and everything.

I predict that Jenna will make it to Texas with Mrs. Gladstone  because she is tough and is learning how to handle the road.. Also I think that Mrs. Gladstones son Elden wont take over the company because the good guy always wins. I also think that Jenna will confront her father about his drinking and try to make him stop to make his and everyone elses life better.
