The Big Comparison

Authors Note- This is my comparison essay and I would like you to criticize me on my body paragraphs organization.

When I was young I always thought I had the worst parent in the world but know when I look back on it I realize that I was the problem with my behavior. When I read the book the year of the hangman I realize that I have a well off life, and when I read The Outsiders I realized how important my parents where.

             Johnny From the outsiders is a lot like Creighton from “The Year of the Hangman.” They have many similarities like the parents not caring about them. Creighton’s mom sent him to the Americas because she was depressed and was still mourning from her husband’s death. Johnny’s parents don’t even care about him they wish he doesn’t exist, so Johnny and Creighton both have parent problems. Since they have parent problems they have to go by themselves.

             Creighton and Johnny has to go on by themselves because of without your parents caring about you, you can’t live like a normal kid. Johnny’s parents are not caring about him because they don’t want him in their lives. Creighton’s point of view of his parents is that if you are a kid that misbehaves they will send you away to another place that you don’t know. Now everyday Creighton has to fend for his life in a place that people look like they want to kill him because of his facial expression.

            Although Johnny and Creighton have parent problems they are both different from each other because Johnny has a support system of friends and Creighton does not. Johnny has chances to live with other people and during the day Johnny can go to Pony Boy’s house and stay away from his parents. On the other hand Creighton has to deal with being alone because his uncle has been captured, by the Americans and is put in jail and the only thing that Creighton has is some money and a tree to curl up next to.

            Parents may ruin your life or make it the best time ever. If you are like me your life could be great but if you were in Johnny's or Creighton's shoes you may have a struggle everyday of your life.

The Cause and the Effect of the Bluffing ship

Authors Note- This is a piece that has some text evidence and how a little problem can change the whole story.

Imagine sailing to the unknown lands on a mighty British sailing ship and see a flag in the distance, then see its flag waving that it’s is a friendly ship, but then it happens.

 In the year of the hangman the Creighton goes to see his uncle and his uncle decides go to Louisiana, which is a decision that can ruin or save the life of Creighton and his uncle. When they are sailing around the Gulf of Mexico they see a American ship but since the war is over the American ship is waving there peace flag to the British, but the captain of Creighton’s ship doesn’t buy it. So when the ships pass by the other ship quickly opens the cannon hatches and shoots at the British ship and disables Creighton and his ship.

            The pirates on the other ship board there ship and take them            captive. This was a big part of the story because now Creighton had to swear to the bible his likings for the Americans and is taken to Louisiana for  Mr. Franklin as a worker, and as a guardian. The effect has to whole story changed because in the beginning Creighton was a innocent British boy living in England now he is in Louisiana a Spanish territory and he has to fend for his life every minute of the day.

            As far as I have read there hasn’t been a resolution it has only been getting worse for Creighton he has run away and he only has a little bit of money and has no idea where he is going.

Point Of View

Authors Note- This is my point of view piece and it is about a Colonel Hales Point of view.

Colonel Hale's point of view from the Year of the Hangman is that he is he confused of what Creighton is trying to get to. When Colonel Hales ship gets attacked and taken over. Creighton has to talk to the other captain. Then Colonel hale is sitting in the corner of the room and Creighton just keeps on talking and doesn't stop. The Author says that Colonel hale looks confused when Creighton is talking and I was confused as well. 

Party with a Zombie

Authors Note- This is a creative story that changed gears a whole bunch and changes the whole point of view.

On the creepy Friday the 13^th there was a party at Joey’s house, and I was partying it up, we had the whole get up go from the soda to the music, until it happened…

             There was a loud crash like that out of a window breaking, and it got me out of my grove. I must have hallucinated because everybody kept on partying. So I decided it was nothing and started to party again. Until it happened again this time everybody realized that something was wrong.

             Then Neil Patrick Harris flew down on a unicorn and started to party with us, after a while the unicorn turned into a zombie and bit Teddie and then, Teddie turned into a blood sucking, flesh eating, and bone munching zombie, Teddie then hopped on the zombie unicorn and started a zombie invasion. At that point I decided go home and plan for the invasion.

            When I got home I realized my parents weren’t, so I thought they decided to play hide and seek with me. So I looked for them for about an hour and found nothing, At that point I forgot about the zombie attack and went to the fridge to get some milk. Then when I opened the door there was no food or milk in the fridge. After that I sat on the ground and started to cry for the milk. TO BE CONTINUED….
