Paragraph:

This year I was in Mr. Schwagler's class. I didn't really learn anything this year. I wish there had been more variety with the projects, homework, and general classwork. I found that there is little variety with DOL and other classwork. I also hope that there is more //appropriate work// for our grade level. Plus, I think there should be better diversity with books. I also found new hobbies and things to do, so it wasn't a very bad year.

Sean: **As Anand, write a story to the Conch, asking how to get to the river.**

Anand trudged along the path, wondering when he would reach the river. He felt lost; and considered for some time to ask the conch. He supposed it wouldn't say anything; this was probably one of the things he was supposed to do on his own. In the end, Anand sighed and turned his mind to the conch, entreating. The frigid cold stung his toes, and the crunch of ears was deafening in the silence; echoing. The conch didn't answer.

//Like I thought// muttered Anand darkly, distracted. It would take the strength of kings to be able to wander around without getting lost. He was tempted to stop and rest; wanted to slide gently into sleep, and a thin, misty cloud enveloped his suddenly milky eyes. Nisha shook him, "Don't go to sleep yet, sleepyhead!" she reprimanded sharply. Anand smiled grimly at her tone. Slightly lifted, the two trekked through the deep, raw snow.

Anand was desperate now, reaching the tendril of his mind into the conch, stabbing with all his remaining meager amounts of energy. //Where is the river?// he questioned, //Please? We're probably lost already and I'm sure we are going in circles. If you are so frantic to get to the Silver Valley, then you should at least tell me!// His rant continued on, bubbling into the conch's consciousness. Anand felt, with a little bit of satisfaction, that the conch was getting frusturated.

Finally, Anand felt the conch stirring to answer his request.

It was morning. The last traces of night faded as the day quickly brightened. Amity climbed out of bed, drowsily rubbing her eyes, and got ready for the long day. She tripped outside, still tired. Timidly, she snuck outside to see people getting their horses ready for the drawn-out ride that was soon to come. Several horses were pawing the ground with their hard hooves, snorting. The leader of the rowdy gang, known as Chief, approached, tipping his wide brimmed hat in greeting. He smiled his flashy smile, got on his horse, Pepper, and patted her head. Pepper keeled and tossed her striped muzzle. Pepper was a healthy horse, well cared for. Her fur was glossy, and her hard hooves were shiny. "Have a nice day," he called over his shoulder as he rode off.

"You can ride this one today," said Mary, a relatively new cowgirl. She gave the reigns of the horse Amity who was standing nearby, confused. The horse was a strong, young, confident male. "Uh oh," remarked Mary, in a somewhat condescending tone, "Buck's a little frisky today," To prove her words, Buck reared and whinnied. Mary gave Amity a semi-envious glance. "Chief said you were able enough to ride Buck.. I don't think so," Mary jabbered on, a glint of resentfulness in her eyes. "I should be riding Buck, he was supposed to be my horse! Instead, I'm stuck with old Vignette," she muttered, head slightly indicating an elderly ginger horse. "Pah!" she said, making Amity, who wasn't listening, start. "I don't need to talk to you, anyways." Holding her head high, Mary strode off.

Amity shrugged and looked at Buck. He was a robust, frisky horse, bold and not afraid of taking risks. His fur was clean, glowing white with several milky, gray-black splotches. Amity walked around Buck taking him in. Long, energetic legs pulsing with energy, keen, intelligent, yet slightly vain eyes.. everything about Buck made him an ideal horse. Buck stomped his hoof on the ground, flattening the grass. Whinnying, he shied, tossing his mane. He was excited to go out, like every other horse. Amity, in a moment of pure daring, slid onto his back. Buck recoiled slightly, but otherwise remained calm. Satisfied, Amity got ready to ride out.

The other people were all ready, stirrups, saddle, and everything in place. Amity was next to Brandon, a seasoned rider, who was on his steed, Arabique. Arabique was a large, intimidating Arabian steed, with steely eyes and quick teeth. The horse stood in place, silently glaring at Buck and Amity. Buck seemed to be equally as hostile, but Amity didn't really mind. She was looking forward to the ride too much for that. Soon it was time to go. Brandon turned his kindly old face to Amity, smiling. His old blue eyes sparkled in the sun.

"So, yer'e the novice, eh?" he questioned in his good-natured, aged voice. Amity nodded. She took an instinctive liking to the old man. He seemed very likable. Brandon's eyes crinkled into a warm-hearted smile. "Ye must 'ave a lot of spunk comin' here," he continued, thoughtfully, "It's 'ard work off ridin' through the downs."

"Oh, no sir, I like riding horseback," she said quietly. She didn't really feel like talking that day. Brandon nodded.

"Well, ye mite as well enjoy the experience," he said in his thick accent. "I'll 'ave to think more about ridin' horseback then, if ye say so. I never had ridd'n on any horse 'cept Arabique, sharp ole codger. Thanks fer tellin' me, Amitee, that's yer name, right?" Amity nodded once more. They didn't have much time to talk after that, because Chief called them out.

"Let's go, we're kinda late already!" he shouted over the general noise, clapping his hands piercingly. The sound echoed through the place as the cowboys fell silent. Chief slapped his hand on Pepper's neck lightly, hitting her robust, sturdy frame. "Come on! Brandon, Chiwa, head off toward the east! Elena and Rowan, take Mary and go south! Sally, Gary, and Amity, you guys go and head off west. I'll go north with Keisha." his remarkingly noticable voice rang out. After a moment of silents, the clearing exploded into a ton of jabbers as people went their way. A blond girl on a slim gray horse came up to Amity, with a brown haired boy right after.

"Hi, I'm Sally," she introduced, "And this is Gary. Let's go before Chief gets moody!" she had a prim accent, unlike the usual. Gary had the same accent though, if a little worse.

" 'Ey, eeyoo! 'Ow ya doin', 'mity!" he said, winking cheerfully. Amity nodded, only understanding half of what he had said.

They turned their horses around and began to make a steady pace toward the west, looking for any signs of life. It was not long after when Gary spotted a calf with its mother.

"Oh, look, 'tis a tot! Let's git it ovah here, c'mon, little fellah, ovah here!" Gary began beckoning madly toward the calf. It clumsily trotted forward, confused.

The rest of the day passed in a similar manner. Amity even managed to spot several cows herself. She had had a great time with Gary and Sally, they were two good friends. She looked forward to tomorrow. Amity felt that inside, she had changed for the better. What, now she knew how to tell a cow to get moving, how to whip a pregnant female with a whip without harming the baby inside, even learned some cowboy slang. She felt better towards Buck, who pretty much obeyed her most of the time, after the long day. Sitting up, Amity looked out the window to the sky. A full moon shined brightly. She lay back down on her bed, closed her eyes, and smiled, knowing friends were always there.
