George Washington Time Travel Letter

Author’s Note: I wrote this ‘time travel letter’ to George Washington because he may certainly have been the greatest leader in the history of this nation. Please look at my word choice.

Dear George Washington,

            I’m writing you this letter so you can have an idea of how great of a president you are and I’d like you to know how the decisions you made shaped the United States of America into a great nation. I would just like to commend you on some of your greatest accomplishments. This will include war strategies and establish a federal government in an eight year, two term presidency.

Recognizing your great war strategies means a lot to me because you are one of the best in history at this and I hope it means a lot to you also. The best decision in my opinion that you made was to stay neutral during the French and British war. Swaying to a certain side could have been the unraveling of such a young country.  You were receiving recommendations of taking a side. If you did sway to a side and that country went on to lose the war that could have proved catastrophic for America.

Establishing a fair government was most likely your greatest feat, post war. Much of the laws you and some of the other founding fathers still stand to this day. Your efforts to make rights and laws is why we now have a nation where you will be punished fairly for doing something against the law.

What you have done for this country will forever be remembered and you will always be the first and one of the greatest presidents in this nations history.  You need to remember to do what you think is right because you are one of most wise men I have ever known existed. This country will become a power house around the world partially because of what you and other founding father have done. Lastly I would like to say thank you for all you have done for this country.

Author’s note: I wrote my retelling on this book because there is so much going which made this an easy book to write a retelling about. Please look and see if I held you in suspense so that you would want to read it because that was my goal.

White Fang

Author’s Note: I wrote this piece on this book because White Fang is an outcast and it’s sad to see outcasts in the world. Please look at my sentence beginnings.

In the book “White Fang” by Jack London the main character, White Fang was going through some problems in this book. He was abounded when he was just a little half wolf half dog puppy. White Fang went to go find a new home but that didn’t work out the way he hoped. While hunting a rabbit he finds a tribe of native Americans. The young pup attempts to run away but he can’t help his curiosity to try to find a new family. One native American takes him in but all the others in the tribe including the other dogs didn’t accept him.

If everyone in White Fang’s life that hurt him or made fun of him he wouldn’t be as furious, strong and smart as he could. The book made the Native Americans look like bad people but what they really did is turn him into a great wolf. His family wasn’t there to teach him the native Americans were the ones to do that. 

Why There Are Rails on Escalators

Author's Note: I wrote this piece because every year I remember less and less about this so if i write about it I will never forget it.

When I was four years old I was at the mall with family friends. We just entered the mall and were deciding where to go first. While my sisters were looking at a map two older boys and I decided to have a contest, who could go on the outside of the rail and up the rail the highest. I'd have no idea what would've happened to me that night.

It was the first boys' turn and he made it about four feet and he thought it was pretty impressive. I knew I could beat that. The second boy made it about six feet up I wasn't so sure I could beat that but I was sure I was going to try. I wish I hadn't though.

Now it was my turn to go and I was determined to beat six feet. I did. But I didn't come back down. When I got to a certain point it was too high to jump down! I had to keep going up. Luckily there was a lady who pulled me up over the railing and took me down to my sisters!

I was twenty to thirty feet up in the air if that lady hadn't saved me I might have died. One of the worst things about this is I don't even know who saved my life. If only I knew so I could find her and thank her.
