Poem

Samuel

Wishes to drive a bright orange lamborghini.
Dreams of going to the moon.
Wants to be a policeman.
Wonders about big black bats 
Fears dieing a slow grossing death
Is afraid of heights. 
Likes soccer.
Believes in big tall spirits.
Loves  big brown dogs
Plans to live in Italy.

My writing

As I walk a throw deep dark forest  with my recon team looking for survivor that were hiding in a banker that had been attacked by the Japanese  when they got there everything was really silent they saw movement  in the trees the we hid in a bush the Japanese. We just  lay there silently waiting for them to leave then they turned round to make sure. They were not being watched when we checked our backs they seen there were no one they look there were they had a left so we walk in to the banker there were 4 survivors tied to a chair we ripped the rope off and took. Them back to base and reported the damage.

Who was Simon of Cyrene

Simon of Cyrene helped Jesus  carry the cross,  he was a trader that traveled a lot and sold things to get money. Simon is carried the cross because Jesus would have died on the way there if he had not helped Jesus carry the cross. 


Something learned from that is to help others as well as caring for others as well as yourself.

Blizs Quick write


It was nighttime when the plane's dropped the bomb's on the town as they flow over alarms started to go off when the planes flew over the house ginet flowed above black.

Clouds formed over the destroyed buildings lights started to flash, on and off for a long, time then it stopped everything was suddenly  quiet For a long time I pecked out off the bunker where we were.

Hiding no planes but flames and people running round in flames screaming,then I saw a man who looked a lot like hitler it was hitler I shout.
