My invention My invention would be a time machine. I would invent a time machine for three reasons. One, I can go to the past and I could do something again that I really liked. For example, If I went to a Amusement park with my friends in America, I would go back and I could play again and again. My second reason is that you could know how the future is like and you can also know when or what will happen to you. For example, you can see the future that in 5 minutes you will crash into the wall and brake your toe. My last reason is that if you are curious what will happen in the future, you can just see what will happen. For example, today, you got your report cards and you got D's and F's. You can just see the future and you can see that you are a beggar in the streets. I wish I could invent a time machine.

Write a story

I have just joined a cattle ranch and I am riding my horse. We have only rode 1 mile with our horses and I am still nervous. First of all, it is my first time riding a horse. Also it is very scary when you ride on the horse. I am VERY short so I have to step back 10 meters and run up on top of my horse. All of my other friends are taller than me so they can just put their leg up and get on. I wish I was taller. All of my friends were excited when we just got on our horses but I was not. We kept on riding our horses miles and miles until we saw a herd of cows. Finally! I thought. I just wanted to catch one cow and leave back to my house but it wasn’t easy when I try to catch the cow. Some cows were running away but my dad said to leave them. My friends were nervous when they were putting their rope on the huge cows. I was also, but I tried and tried. I threw my rope and the rope slid into the cows neck. Finally! I’m done! Actually I wasn’t. My scared friends said that we each had to catch 6 cows. I was patient so I tried and tried until I spent 2 hours catching 5 horses. My friends couldn't even catch one! My friend’s dad caught 7 and it was amazing because he caught seven in 30 minutes. The cowboys waited too long for us to catch 6 cows so they decided to leave. While we were going, the cows kept on going wherever they wanted. It was so annoying, but one of the cowboys said that we had to block where the cowboys went. Man it was annoying and tiring. I wonder how other cowboys would feel collecting cows.

__Over the high coast mountains__ and __over the valleys t__he gray clouds marched __in from the ocean__. The wind blew fiercely and silently, high __in the air, and it swished in the brush,__ and it roared __in the forests.__ The clouds came __in brokenly, in puffs, in folds, in gray crags__; and they piled __in together and settled low over the west__. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain began with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually it settled to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light __to evening__. And at first the dry earth sucked the moisture down and blackened. For two days the earth drank the rain, __until the earth was full__. Then puddles formed, and i__n the low places little lakes formed__ __in the fields__. The muddy lakes rose higher, and the steady rain whipped the shining water. At last the mountains were full, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, built them __to freshets__, and sent them roaring down the canyons __into the valleys__. The rain beat on steadily. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, cut out the roots of cotton-woods and brought down the trees. The muddy water whirled __along the bank sides__ and crept __up the banks__ until __at last it spilled over, into the fields, into the orchards, into the cotton patches__ where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped up the surfaces. Then the water poured __over the highways__, and cars moved slowly, cutting the water ahead, and leaving a boiling __muddy wake behind.__ The earth whispered __under the beat of the rain__, and the streams thundered __under the churning freshets__.

Narrative Essay Rebel By: Ki Hwan Nam 6E February 3rd, 2010
 * January 3rd, 2010

Mr. Schwagler

__BB guns are fun to play, but pain, when do something wrong.__ My friend decided to bring BB guns to practice aiming. I was only little that time and I still wasn't use to school. After the first day, we didn't get caught because we were playing at the corner (where the teacher is not at). We went home and the next day, my friend brought huge and a lot of BB guns. My friend put his guns in their back packs. But, the problem is, is that my friend's gun couldn't go in his backpack. This story is about going to the principals office the first time in my life. The beautiful day started when I planned to buy a BB gun. Right when I was buying a small gun, something freaked me out. It was a sound like... a bee buzzing in my pocket. I was surprised but it was my phone on manner mode. My friend was calling me. I picked up my phone and my friend was like hyena laughing. He was bragging that he bought a lot of cool guns. I was so JEALOUS that I was complaining. My dad said I could only buy a small gun because he said that I was TOO YOUNG. We all bought BB guns because of my annoying friend. My friend had huge guns and he had a huge back pack. While we were walking to school, his backpack suddenly ripped. The sound was soooo cool. I laughed like I was about pop out my head. My friend bought another bag. The only problem was, that he couldn’t put his guns in the bag he bought. __His face looked like he was about to cry like a baby__. He couldn’t do anything so we just went to school. We went in the public school quietly until, 2 short kids came to see and asked what is that pointy thing on the top. We said nothing until the two little kids told everyone about us. Their face seemed suspicious on us. We acted like we didn’t no a clue so we went in the class. What an annoying time when all the students asked us. It was recess time and everybody was curious about the pointy thing on top of his tiny backpack. We were so exhausted that my friend told them to ‘get lost’. They left, scarily and we went to a corner where no one goes. We took out our guns and we practiced aiming. My gun was terrible. I borrowed his gun and I shot it. One thing was making me worried. ‘What if we get caught?’. I seemed my friend didn’t even care. I told him that I was worried so I went to play with other friends. My friend called other students that he had cool BB guns. Everybody was surprised. I had a bad feeling what would happen so I played with my other friends to not be interfered. Suddenly, I heard a scream. SSSCCCRRREEEAAAMMM!!!I went out to look what was happening. My friend was caught by the principal. I knew it. Man, I felt like I was about to scream too. My friend went in the office and I was actually scared to. I kept wondering. ‘What if he blames me? No No No That won’t happen. I wasn’t even playing with him. Man what if--’ Announcements” KI Hwan Nam, please report to the principal’s office.’’ That was me! I was so worried that I just went. I felt like crying. I never went to the principal’s office. I went inside and there was my friend, his guns on the table, and the principle. He asked me questions and I answered all of them with confidence. When I talked, my voice echoed. The principal let me go. When I left my heart was beating so fast. My friend had blamed me...Wow

From that day...My friend and I hated each other and never looked at each other. And we still don’t.

Mike the Hero By: Ki Hwan Nam E Block November 6th 2009 There once was a boy that was very strong. His name is Mike and he lives in a forest. He is very poor. His family was too gloomy and too lazy to move their body. He carried ebony all the time to repair the shack and other chores. One morning, he saw a man with brunette hair. He spied on the man and waited curiously. While he was spying on him, the stranger saw him. He tried to run but he knew that the man and him did eye contact. He ran as fast as he could but the man started chasing him also. He stopped at the middle of the forest lost. He was brave and he stood out until the stranger caught up with him. He waited and waited until he met the stranger. Why are you here?, asked the boy bravely. ''My name is Michael and I am here to hike, but I see you holding up woods. Why are you here?'', asked the man. The boy said his story that his family is too weak and he has to do all the work. Hmmmm.. the man was thinking. The man kept on thinking like a captain getting ready for an attack. Mike was an ant. He was very patient. The man finally said that he would make a deal. ‘’ If you give me all the wood you got, I will let you have a life with me and your family.’’ said the man. ‘‘Deal’’, said the boy excitedly. ‘’Now, come on! get your family.’’ The lazy and weak family got up and rode a big monster. It was the first thing in the boy’s life he ever saw, a car. He was glad but first scared. ‘‘Just get on!’’, said the man. The family went in and they were very shock of the first thing they ever saw. “wow..”, said the entire family. The family were very pleased and felt better from thinking that they are save. “Can I drive?”, asked Mike. “Um..I don’t think that’s a good idea.”, replied Michael. “Please? I’ll try my best. I promise I won’t make a scratch.’’, said Mike. “ Fine.. But try your best not to crash.”, said Michael worried. Mike got in the drivers seat and started turning on the engine. He accidentally pushed the whippers. Mike acted like he knew the button. He actually didn’t know. “Here, see? all you need to do is turn the keys. He turned on the engine and went safely. While they were driving, they heard a honk. It made Mike scared o he lost control of the wheels. “Hey watch out!’’, Michael shouted. It was too late. The car crashed in to a tree and the car was broken down. “Sorry..”, said Mike scared. “ It doesn’t matter because I'm gonna fix it!’’, shouted Michael. “ I can help you. I got taught from my dad to fix a motor. He died because he got sick and we had nothing to cure him. Anyways i’ll help you, if I can. “ok.. I believe in you.’’, said the man feeling sorry. They got materials from the big trunk and got out materials. Mike knew what to do. He got a screwdriver and he felt like a blacksmith. Later, they fixed the car, and went to Michael’s house.

Topic: If you could choose any animal for class pet, what would you choose and why?

Pets are really responsible because you need to treat it well. If you could choose any animal for class pet, what would you choose and why? What do you think? Here are three random examples. A fish, hamster, or a hedgehog. Do you know what my examples are? Find out reading below. My first pet that came up in my head is a hamster. Hamsters are popular pets.People say that hamsters are cute and are very easy to take care of and other people disagree. Some people say that hamsters are fat, chubby and dirty. Hamsters are cute because they are chubby and really small(opinion). Hamsters are not only pets. Hamsters are from the wild. Hamsters make holes in the ground to not get eaten by an ugly predator. I think a hamster will be a great choice for a class pet. Dog, I kind of think a dog will be a good class pet because dogs classes can learn about how animals act and communicate. Also, dogs can help blind people where there are going. One bad reason about not having a dog is because dogs can distract other students working. For example, dogs can bark loudly and also eat your homework! They can also drool on your paper. If you have an dog that is wild then, it will be a big responsibility. Dogs can run away, that is why there is a lot of signs like this.. This class pet can be really responsible. Monkeys! Don’t monkeys sound a great pet? Monkeys can do anything for you. It’s just like a helper for a class. Monkeys can give you something you want across a table, help you do something and help people who have problems with their head. All you need to do is give a banana to a monkey and he will do a favor for you. Isn’t that great? But, the bad thing is that monkeys can be sensitive and throw banana peels at you. They can accidentally beat you up when you do something wrong. Monkeys will be a great help. Is this enough examples for a class pet? Which example do you like the best? Hamsters are cute, Dogs can help people move around and monkeys can be a helper by helping you get stuff. If you like both of my 3 examples, how about an animal that is hamster+dog+monkey= monster? = =
