THE ROAD part 1

The book THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy is about a father and his son is wondering on a road after a nuclear winter. They are both wearing some type of bag to keep their stuff they find in it. But the father has a gun for protection because there are some people on the road that are not really nice. So one day as they were walking they find a barn with a pigs butt on the door. So when the father opened the barn door, inside was all dark not much light and depressing. Then when they look up they see three dead bodies hanging in the rafters. In today’s reading I read that when the father and son were walking they walk right by the father’s house in which he grew up in. The son was saying that he doesn’t want to go in, that his is too scared to go in. Then when they got in there wasn’t really anything there. Then after they came out of the house they started to head towards the mountains and the father was thinking about if they would have enough food to last going through the mountains.

The book I am reading is Gym Candy. But I am already done reading it.

I did over thanksgiving break

On Thanksgiving I had most of my dads side of the family over and one family from my mom side come over to eat. Before we ate one of my cousins from Madison brought their dog to our house. His name was Jasper but I don’t know what kind of dog it was. So we were walking the dog around the block in till we had to eat, because Jasper would have had to stay in the car for the in tire time when we were eating. So after the meal we brought Jasper back into my backyard and played fetch with him while I and a cousin were playing catch with a rugby ball because I couldn’t find a football that was inflated. After playing outside for about an hour and a half us everyone who was outside went inside and talked. But me and my cousin who were playing catch went and played madden because we always play each other when he is over. This year since he lives in Wisconsin and I live in Minnesota we played a Packers vs. Vikings. He was the Packers and I was Vikings. He always wins but it is still fun. This time he kicked my butt. In the fourth quarter I through 3 interceptions one right after the other. Then when everyone one gone we watched Fred Clause. But right as we were about to finish the movie the lamp in our TV gone out so we don’t know how it ends. That is what my family and I did on Thanksgiving Day.

The Odyssey (HIGHLIGHT TO READ)

The book Odyssey is a somewhat good book. But it is a very confusing book, but like I know the main parts in the book. For example the book is about a man named Odysseus, and he went of to fight in the Trojan War. But when everyone else got home he was still not home. So the elders of the city pronounced him dead. But his son doesn’t was to accept it so he goes off to go look for his dad. There is one chapter that was confusing in the 11th book it was when Odysseus was in the underworld and he was talking to all these dead people. He was talking to so many people that you didn’t know if it was him or some other dead person because there was so many of them. But other parts in the book were cool. When Odysseus and his crew were in the cave and then they stabbed the Polyphemus (the son of Poseidon, God of Water) in the eye. A funny part is when Circe (witch goddess) turned Odysseus’s crew into pigs. The book has its funny parts and serious parts. A serious part is when Telemecaus goes to his first destination and finds out that his dad was “dead”.

Trail of Terror 11/1/08

Something I did this weakened was I went to Trail of Terror with the church called St Patrick’s. Since clowns are not my favorite, my clowns took me into a tiny haunted house called the Clown House. I was pretty freaked out. Clowns were coming at me in all different directions. But before that we went into the main haunted house. At first it went pretty good I was screaming a lot. This one time in the main haunted house a clown so bad I fell to the ground. When I got up I just had to give the clown a high five. But then we got to the clown section. That is when it went all down hill. Clowns were hitting the cages making really loud noises and scaring the crap out of me. This one clown was following me. I asked why you are following me really loud. And said because your fun in a really creepy voice and that just messed me up. Then the part we went outside then right back in the JASON came running at my group. But I wasn’t so scared because Jason doesn’t really scare me so I laughed and gave him a high five to. So in the end of the night it was pretty fun. I laughed, screamed and almost messed myself a handful of times.

Something that happened over the weekend

On Saturday last weekend Edina played Eden Prairie. It was a really good game. No one scored in the first quarter, and then with about three seconds left of the first half Eppel kicked a 27 yard field goal to be up by three. As we were heading into the locker room we were all pumped up because we were beating a team that hasn’t lost a game since 2005. When we were in the locker room partying it up Zack Buddish came and started yelling, he was saying that you should not me happy right now. You guys are playing like crap. Eden Prairie second half are going to come out fighting and will want to beat you to keep their streak alive. So after that we were quiet and talking how we will do the next half. The scoring in the second half went like this. Scaeffer from Eden Prairie ran in but failed to convert the field goal, because Edina is BEASTLY. Then Scaeffer again ran but for an 85 yard touchdown. But they got the field goal after that. Then from Edina Moynihan ran for 15 yards and then Eppel converted the field goal. Then Eden Prairie scored for the last time on a 13 yard run by Larson. But then after the kick off we marched down the field and Mr. Lee found Eppel and scored a 17 yard pass. The final score of the game was Eden Prairie 20 Edina 17.
SO EVEN THOUGH EDEN PRAIRIE WON EDINA IS STILL WAY BETTER!!!!!

A movie I had watched

A movie I had watched over the MEA week was the movie I, Robot. The movie takes place 2035. In the movie everyone had a robot to do stuff for them. But the Del Spooner (Will Smith) didn’t like the robots because of an event that happened awhile ago. The robot in the movie has 3 laws that they must follow. They must not harm any human or and they must save a human when the human is in trouble. The second law is that all robots must obey all the humans’ commands. The last law is that all robots must protect themselves but it cannot interfere with the first and second law. In the movie the man who created the robots died. Everyone thought that he killed himself by jumping out of a window about 50 stories. But later in the movie I found out that the man who died told his robot to throw the man out of the window. But when the robot was made the man made the robot able to not obey the three laws. Then when all the new robots were going bad they thought the man who was doing this was the man who owns USR (united states robotics) but they found out it wasn’t cause they saw him dead on the ground and the robots were still going crazy. So in the end they found out that the security thing in the building called Viki was making the robots kill everyone.

Something I have done

Something I have done over the weekend. On Saturday night my parents were at a neighbor’s house. They took my little cousin Max, he is seven years old but he looks like he is four or five years old, before they left my dad told me that the only reason why they are brining him with. The reason is because so they had an excuse to leave the house early. So I was on the computer looking on you tube of UFC fights. Then all the sudden I was really hungry. So I went to the garage to get a pizza out of the freezer. I look in the freezer and there wasn’t any good pizza. So I turned around to go back inside and the door was locked. So I ran to the front door and that door was locked. So I took my dads keys from his truck because they were still in the truck. So then I called my dad and he didn’t answer. So I called my mom and I told her what happened. She asked how did I do that, and I said I thought the door was unlocked. But then she told me to run around the house because she said that my dad might have closed the door but kept it unlocked. So I got in, went back outside in the garage to close the door, then I went back into the freezer and got out a Popsicle. So in the end it was a pretty good night.
