The BIG suprise!


“ Mom and Dads anniversary is coming up. We have to do something!” exclaimed Allie. Allie and Alex are planning something big for their parents.

“ Well Allie, what do you want to do?”

“ We could make a surprise desert, but I’ll have to be simple. We only have two hours until mom and dad get home.”

“ Okay listen carefully Alex. We don’t want anything to go wrong.” Alex usually mixes everything up. He is always confused.

“ Alex, You go get a pack of cake mix, two eggs, carnation milk and pots and pans. Ill go get the rest of the supplies and pre heat the oven .”

As Alex rushed to get the supplies, I pre heated the oven and got the supplies, until I hear a loud crash!

“ Alex, are you okay!”

“ Yes but we have one problem! As I was reaching for the eggs it tipped over and the who egg carton dropped and all the eggs was splattering everywhere.”

My temper was getting high but something stopped me from bursting.

“ O great, now what are we going to do.” I said trying not to scream at him. The last thing we would want is Alex with a big tantrum.



“ Well “Alex suggested “ We could call aunt Ann. She live only two blocks away”



“ Alex, you saved us! Who would have ever thought of that plan. You go call her and Ill clean up.”

Ten minutes later aunt Ann arrive out of breath.

“ Alex called and told me it was and emergency. I came quickly as I could and I bought some eggs. For a second I thought some thing terrible might have happened.”

“ Thank you so much for coming. Alex accidentally spilled the whole egg carton. It is mom and dads anniversary and we wanted to make I special.”


“ Don’t worry.” said aunt Ann “ Ill help you and we will finfish in no time.”

Alex and Allie started mixing and aunt Ann poured the batter into the pan. Ten minutes later the cake was in the oven and we started cleaning up. After about 45 minutes the cake was done. Aunt Ann slowly but careful took the cake out. When it cooled down, we all designed it and made it look pretty. It was like I could taste the cake in my mouth. Then we hid it in the basement.

“ Again. Thank you so much!” cried Allie and Alex.

About ten minutes later, the door bell rang. It was mom and dad.

“ Alex remember not to mentions anytime at dinner time. Its I surprise.”

Their parents came back from work. They all ate together at dinner and enjoyed. Right after dinner, I went downstairs to get ready and Alex bribed mom and dad to come downstairs. As they got downstairs , Allie and Alex screamed“ SURPRISE”.

“ Thank you so much!” exclaimed mom

“ How did you guys do this. Its wonderful!”


We all ate cake happily and mom and dad really loved our idea!

Quote essay

       Too often people take the easy way out of things.  J.K. Rowling optimizes this in is famous quote "We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." The easy way out of things will not solve anything. You have to do what is right  and know it will effect you weather its in a positive way or negative. People need to learn how to think abot the big picture before they make a move. It will effect then either way.
  Once my friend were having a big dispute. At that time we all were little and didn't know anything about life. One friend was arguing about how the other one is mean and the other was arguing about how she isn't mean and that she always looks at the bad side of others.It lasted a long time and then they decided to ask me what side i was so because they wanted to get it over with and see who was right. I choose the right thing to do instead of take the easy way out and solving the problem by a simple sorry. I decided not to answer and let them solve their disputes byt them self. I am so glad i did that because i was the right thing to do and the easy was out.
There are many people in this world who was to do the opposite to this. One example is Hitler. He disliked Jews so he decided to gang up and kill them. Instead of protesting and solving the problem by peace and war he decided to take the easy way out and do was he believed in. His goal was to make everybody that isnt Jewish on his side and kill. Instead it just cause everybody to do the opposite. They stated to hate Hitler. Since he took the easy way out he made people hate him.
  The choice is ours and we much choose what is right." I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.(Bill Cosby) Just how Bill Cosby said this, many people decide to take the easy was out of things to pleas others.

Feild Trips

Persuasive writing topic:
  
    In order to save money, your superintendent on the Edison Schools is  thinking about canceling all field trips for all school because of the budget cut. Write a letter to your superintendent persuading him or her to allow students to continue attending field trips. Give at least three reasons to support your position.

Dear Superintendent Dr. Richard O’Malley,
   
    “ We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy”. ( J.K. Rowling). You choice regarding no field trips is not right. In behalf of  our students, it is a  request  that you do not put a stop to the field trips. We all agree that with the plenty of budget cut you should cut some activates in or after school but please do not cut field trips.  It would be a  imprudent thing to do. Field trips are educational in some way. . We get to meet our other friends and best of all we need a break from staying in school for five days in a row. 


       Education comes first. Without being educated we wouldn’t be able to do half the things we can do today. Schools provide this for us. Well, sometimes we need a break and we go on field trips since we been trying our best the whole year. Cutting field trips is not a good idea. In some sort of way it is educational. We all learn something from it. We get to learn about the world around us and enjoy. Recent studies show that fieldtrips provide the same amount of education as a full school day. The opposition  to this statement would say that you could learn about the world around you if you and you family went to the same place. Well, it wouldn’t be the same with family. You wouldn’t get to be with you friends and enjoy.

Being with friend is what everyone enjoys. During field trips we learn and enjoy. With friend we could understand the things we didn’t understand. We could meet new people and make new friends. The opposition to this would say that you meet your friend everyday. Well, meeting your friend in school is much different then being with them the whole day.


Learning could get a little boring once in a while. Even if some field trips are educational  and we get to learn in a different surrounding it does get a little tiring. Just how adults get tired of working all day, students get tired of being in school. The opposition to this statement would say that kids are in school less then parents/adults. Well recent studies proves this wrong.  Eighty-five present of the time kids are more tired then adults. It might look like they are more active and they have more energy but it is wrong.   
   
    Your choice on no field trips is wrong. Field trips are educational in some way,  we get to meet our friend and we get to have a break from school. Please listen to the student and make a wise decision. Just remember what you do will effect the student in a positive you negative way.

                                                                                                                     Sincerely,
                                                                                                                           Bijal Patel
