Nightmare

My job is to walk into many children’s minds and haunt them. Thousands of children’s minds. I’m excited that I will haunt my 10,000th child. This haunting will be bad, really bad. I want this kid to cry and cry until he can’t cry any more. He will scream and run to his parent’s room waking them. His parents will be so mad that he is waking them up in the middle of the night, again. Hopefully he will remember this dream for the rest of his life. He will cry about it when he is in his 40’s even when he is 100 years old. I want this kid to remember how bad I made him feel and he will remember the day, the time, the sweat on his forehead, the tears on his face, and the clothes he was wearing.

I will start the night mare at midnight. It will be on Halloween and I will have one week to plan it. Almost every parent tells their children that dreams only last 5 seconds. If I could actually talk to humans I would tell them that they are stupid. My record for the longest nightmare was five hours and I still can’t believe that the kid stayed a sleep the whole time. Even though it is sad to most people to see kids cry, I love it. It makes me happy and excited.

I’m ready and I have planned for one week. My boss gave me the address of all the bad kids who need a night mare. We are only supposed to scare bad kids but for my 10,000th scare I want to for once scare a good kid. I flip to the last page of the book where it says in capital letters NO MATTER WHAT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU SCARE THESE CHILDREN. Under this list it had all the children in the world that never did anything ever wrong. There were only about 50 kids on the list which is a surprise to me. I would think there is only 1 or 2 kids. Randomly I pick a child’s name and it turned out to be Jamal Jones.

After flying 100 miles I got to his house and I flew through his wall. His room smelled like a person had died in his room. By the way I have seen that. Anyhow, I looked on his floor and it looked liked the bottom was miles away and it turns out it was covered in clothes but I did not care. All I was thinking about was freaking the heck out of this kid. At first I thought this kid was six or seven years old but he was around 15 years old which excited me greatly. I flew up to him and I am struck with this great wind which I am used to but this was a blast. The worst part of that is it smelled like something rotting, rotting everything. It was terrible. I cannot even explain it was as if he lived in a bathroom and never flushed his toilet EVER. Instantly I threw up in my mouth, I swallow it, and got to the side of his bed. I looked over and saw some random kid on his floor. I saw his trash can with vomit in it. Now I am mad. I flew over to him and held my breath. Try to fly straight through his ear I get stopped because his ear is filled with ear wax. I pushed though it and I wanted this kid to scream. Next I flew into his brain and got into the nightmare section. Most humans don’t know but there really is a night mare section in the human brain. Finally I walk in and was about to start. My plan was about to start and I was filled with excitement and anticipation. Oh my gosh I just remembered that he has a friend next to his bed. When I scare Jamal so strongly, he will likely pee from the dream and it will get all over the friend. YES. Okay I’m ready.

I walk in and start and this is how it went.

Importance of family.

What would you do if your parents died when you were a child? Do you think that you could recover? Then you find out that your brothers have dropped out of school. The book “The Outsiders” is a great story that explains the importance of family and if you lose the support of your parents it could be a long road to recovery.

In the story “The Outsiders” the three brothers Ponyboy, Soda Pop, and Darry lost their parents in a terrible car accident at a very young age. They weny through many struggles and joined a gang. Soda Pop and Darry both dropped out of school but pressured Ponyboy to stay in school. If their parents were alive all three of them would not have been in a gang and would have been in school. In the story it says that Ponyboy smokes a lot. If he had real parents, not his older brother Darry acting as the parent, he would not have even thought to start smoking. The story also has parents who don’t care at all about their child along with dead parents.

Johnny, who is Ponyboy’s best friend, also struggles with family. His parents beat him and don’t care at all about him. He frequently comes to Ponyboy’s house and is found sleeping on their couch. If Johnny’s parents cared about him he would have been in school and also not in the gang. If he was in school he would have a better future and not ending up killing a Soc. In the story another Greaser struggles with his family.

Dally’s parents also abused him. At the age of eight he ran away from his home because he did not like his parents. To make it worse, his parents did not care at all. He also joined the gang and was often found at Ponyboy’s house as well. If his parents cared about him he would have had a better life than running around town and trying to find a home to sleep in. He would not have to worry about if Ponyboy’s family was home so that he could sleep there.

The story “The Glass Castel” by Jeannette Walls also talks about the importance of family like “The Outsiders”. The main character Jeannette writes about her family and their adventures. Her family was very poor and her parents were constantly spending their last bit of money on the father’s alcohol addiction. Her mother rarely went out of her house and was once found eating a chocolate bar under the bed covers when her family was starving. If Jeannette had a stable family she would not have had to worry constantly about if she would be able to eat that night. They constantly move around the city and tried to fit in. She could have lived a much better life if she had parents who cared about them.

The story “The Outsiders” was a great story that explains when you have dead parents, abusive families, or parents who don’t care about you, that your whole life will be changed entirely. Even though many people in the world have stable families, we need to be very thankful for what we have and not take it for granted. If all of these kids had good parents, it’s likely that none of them would have been in a gang. They would have been in school and not constantly getting in trouble. All of them need a good family.

Compare SPY! and Glass castle

The main character Jonah from the book SPY! By Anna Myers is a very similar character of the girl from the book Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. One of the biggest similarity is that they are both really poor. The two stories even one being historical fiction and one being non fiction have many things in common that the two authors did not even know about.

A big similarity in the two stories is that both of the kids really want to go to school. They beg and beg their parents to let them go to school but they never will let them. In both cases they find ways to go to school. Jeannette walks miles to get to school and Jonah also walks one mile to get to school. Both kids love being in school and do not take it for granted. Most people today do not care at all about going to school and wish for the days to be over but Jeannette and Jonah wish for the school days to not be over.

Another big similarity is that they both want to do something with their lives. Both kids don't like there families appreciation of money. Jeannette's dad drinks and never stops and her mom never come out of her bed room to see her kids. Her mother is a hoarder and hates going out side and her family is always struggling with money. Jeannette wants to get a job and never wants to worry about money. Jonah is pretty much the same. He want to go to get away from his parents and live in a nice house. His dad is always struggling with money and he also never wants to worry about it.

One of the biggest differences between the two is that Jonahs parents eventually are both dead. In the glass castle her parents are not dead but are never around. Her parents are never there to care for them but she keeps a positive attitude and does not let that bring her down. Jonahs parents die and it takes him a while to recover and even goes to the extent of finding a new family. Jonah can't live with out his parents and Jeannette just goes with the flow and does not really care.

At the end both books are similar in a very weird way and the authors did not even know about it. Even though there are some differences like family life there are some big similarities. The two books had great similarities and differences even thought it was never meant to be.

Cause and effect

In the story SPY! One of the main conflicts is the teacher getting hung. The teacher getting hung affects many people. The school that he teaches at now does not have a teacher since he is dead. His family is broken up since he is dead and they are all depressed. All of the people in the community are now sad since he died. The Brittan’s have scared everyone in the city and have “sent” a mental warning to not mess with them. If the teacher would have not turned into a traitor he would not be dead.

There is another part of the book were the second main characters dad died. He did not have a mother and now that his dad is dead he has to live with someone else. He is sent to a king’s house and has a massive house upgrade. Before he lived with his dad and sister in a small shack and now he is living in a mansion. If his dad would have not died he would still be living in a terrible house and would not have very much food to eat. This cause and effect is different from the man getting hung. With the man getting hung everyone around him is sad and hurt but with the boy it was second hand and it affected him but in a good way. It was bad at first then changed to a good thing.

Midnight Mystery

It is 10 pm in the house of adder when a crack of lighting strikes the houses window. The window shattered and glass flew all over the room. An old woman screams and runs to look at the window. She steps on all of the glass cutting open her feet. She screams I pain waking her husband. Her husband runs over to her also cutting open her feet with the glass. He falls on top of her crushing her left arm. She pushes the man off of her and runs to the window. Then she turns to her husband and tells him that she can't take the pain. She jumped through the widow and hit the ground at 50 mph. She was instantly killed since she jumped from a 25 story house. The old man stands up and runs out of the room to alert his family. A house alarm sounded that meant that there was an emergency. The buzzer stood for that everyone should meet in the living room.

"Okay is everyone here?"asked the old man "There should be 57 people here not including me."

After the old man gathered his family he sat down on his big fluffy old arm chair. When he set down a big cloud of smoke puffed out of the back of the chair. The old man coughed but he was used to it.

"I have all brought you her at 11 pm for some bad news that happened up my bedroom 15 minutes ago." Said the man. "My wife, Marge, jumped out of our window and died instantly."

Right when the man finished talking a big bolt of lighting struck and the whole houses power went off. The people were screaming but no one was hurt. For now.

When the emergency lights came on it was clear that a crime has happened. A long spike was through the old mans head and he was dead. The people screamed and ran over to see if he was okay. On the tip of the spike there was a note tied tightly with an old piece of string. A woman pulled it off and read it out loud.

"Hello everyone." said the woman reading the note. "I am the spirit of Marge Luccasson. I have came to say that all of you will die some time tonight. If you believe this please step to the right side of the room. If you do not please step to the left side of the room."

Ten people were standing on the left side of the room and the other 47 were standing on the left side. A loud crack of lightning went off and all ten of the people on the right side had long spikes through their heads. Each spike had a note on it that said the same thing.

"Hello again." said the same woman who read the note the first time. "If these people were still alive I would tell them to not always listen to me."

Everyone in the room ran to the kitchen to get away from the 11 dead people. When they got into the kitchen there was twelve knives on the table. A big note was hanging from ceiling that said KILL in big bold letters. Two men picked up all of the knives and walked them over to the garbage can behind the big wooden door they opened the door and walked down the stairs to the big garbage can. There was a flash of lighting and the two men were shot up into the room and were laying alive on the floor. They stood up and looked around. At the same time there eyes closed. The people in the room were looking around at each other trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Again at the same time there eyes opened but this time there eyes were bright red. Both of them opened their mouths and two long metal hands shot out of their mouths grabbing three people per metal hand. Knives shot out of there mouths killing all of them but two. Then both men fell to the ground dead releasing everyone. The two live men stumbled to their feet and ran to the others. At once all of the alive people ran up the stairs screaming.

A note was at the top of the stairs that said "Ha, ha you guys are done for. You all ran up stairs. Why would you do that? Have you watched the horror movies? Nothing good happens to the people that run up stairs."

A metal door slams down and everyone up stairs passes out. When they wake up there is a not that says "There are only 30 of you left. Your other friends have… let's just say left the world."

They all ran to the windows.

"We have to jump." said a man.

"I agree let's do it." replied a woman.

15 of them jumped out of the widow and we killed on impact. The rest of them wanted to survive. A circle was made with one man in the middle making all of the rules. A lightning blot went off and the power again went off. When the power came back on the man found all 14 people standing around him with long spikes through their heads. The man screams like a little girl and runs to the door. When he touched the door he got an immense shock that made him pass out. When he hit the floor his head cracked open and he bled to death.

"Ha Ha Ha that is what all of you get for not coming out and checking if I was okay." said a crazy voice from the basement o f the house. "I hope If this happens to any of you, that you will take charge at the beginning and not take charge at the end. Or learn from you mistakes and when lighting goes off to duck. Oh well I am off to haunt thousands. Oh wait and isn't it ironic that all of this happened at midnight. Weird."

Point of view

The story SPY! Is told third person and is explaining what all of the people are doing. It is told like someone watching it on TV. There are not many main characters but it does not really matter. At the start of the book it is clear that it is being told by a narrator. On page one it says "The boy, Jonah, wished it could happen at night, or at least in the evening, when he might have stayed unnoticed in the shadows, but he was forced to hunker low behind the rock wall." It says the boy and it says he a lot saying that it is being told as if someone was watching it.

The whole story would be different if it was being told by the young boy Jonah who was watching the hanging take place or if it was told by the man who was hung. The story starts at the end the tell show the hanging happened.

Sheila dies

“Good morning to this terrible, terrible day in America. Thousands have died and it all started like this.”

It was an April morning and a man woke you his wife in the spike of dawn.

“Are you crazy? It’s four o’clock in the morning!” Yelled Sheila. “Why the heck would you wake me up this early in the morning? Get out of my house.”

The husband furious stormed out of the house breaking the door. Completely thrilled, Sheila pulled out her phone to share the news. She wrote “Finally my stupid husband is out of the house. Do you think that he will come back? Hopefully not.”

Sheila’s husband ran out of the house and down the street. He ran into a police officer and was knocked on the ground. He started swearing uncontrobly and started attacking the police officer. The police officer was killed but got a sos call in on his walkie talkie. Right away thousands of police officers were after him. Then he quickly crossed to the other side of the street, hoping they would not notice him. After crossing the street he broke into a police car and started driving.

“I’m going to win and kill you all.” Shouted the man over the police speakers.

He started driving at 100 miles an hour. He hit a large building and there was a crash, like that of a window breaking, woke me with a start. Screaming in her sleep Sheila woke up. She was screaming so loud that it woke everyone in her apartment. She ran out the door and ran in to a tall man who she liked.

She looked up at the man and realized that it was the man that she looked. The woman thought “Oh, he’s wonderful…. I just wish he knew I existed. Oh wait now he knows I exist since I just ran into him. Yes.” The woman started running in joy and hit a window. The window was very cheap since she was in an old hotel. The window broke and she fell 500 stories to her death. Blood splattered everywhere and everyone around the impact area was drenched in blood.
