Another Place, Another Time. Derek G.

March 23, 2016 /

Three miles off of Stuart Highway in Australia there lived a person. He had a wooden house. He was an ordinary person… well kinda, if you don’t count that one time, where he went back in time and was chased by the police.

 

Yeah, it’s a weird story and you don’t want to hear it… right? Well in order to understand it you need to start from a good spot to start. That place is of course in a bank, specifically the ‘Bank of China’. The reason he is in that bank is because he is planning to, uh … ‘Borrow’ all the money. Forever.

 

So how was he supposed to rob a bank? Easy! (No seriously it’s not, don’t rob banks, that’s bad). All you have to do is go really fast when the alarm rings. But our person (by the way his name is Kilmo) didn’t do that, not at all, instead he brought a tranquilizer gun and he did a full on assault and he succeeded. All the people inside the store we’re not very good at security and they couldn’t even decide who should call the cops. So basically Kilmo got of with no harm done to him, and I still can’t figure out if it’s because he got lucky or because the people there that day were stupid (which is still lucky).

 

Anyways back then Kilmo didn’t live so far from civilisation so when people saw him dashing with a sack of money they were a bit intrigued, especially some thugs. So when Kilmo ran down an alleyway he sort of got… beat up…. (Not the best life choices). When Kilmo woke up he quickly realized that all the money disappeared. Also when he walked out the alley way he saw a wanted sign of him (if he got caught and the police question him how is he supposed to tell them where the money is?).  

 

Of course this is in the future and apparently in the future the cops chase you down and if they don’t catch you within 3 days you get forced back in time and then they chase you again, and if they don’t catch you then you go even further back in time and then, rinse and repeat till you get caught or you reach the end of the planet (or the beginning. Could be both. It’s relative. Just like time. Which is how this is possible.)  

 

It’s impossible to hide for long so that definitely got Kilmo worried. The first day was spent hiding, I don’t need to talk about that do I? The second day is more talk worthy. Kilmo woke up inside a box (another reason I didn’t explain the day before). He was hugging his knees. He was headed for brazil. He was there because he wanted answers, and if there was an answer, he’d find it there.  

 

Once he got out the box he saw that he was in the middle of the ocean. He knew he said that he wanted to be shipped but he didn’t mean ON A SHIP! When he got out of the box his whole body was aching. He Dragged himself into the main deck. At least it would be harder for the police to find him here, but his three days would be out by the time he got to Brazil so this seemed to defeat the purpose.  

 

Still I am talking about this so somthing IS gonna happen! Right? Well after some time of just wandering on the deck some security people got suspicious and started trailing.  Kilmo got scared and started walking fast. Then he tripped. His whole body went over the fence but he managed to grab it at the last second. He saved his life but in the process guaranteed himself a trip to the underdeck prison cell.

 

3 hours later the cops got to the ship and started doing their inspection but when they got to the cell it turns out that Kilmo was skinny enough that he was able to squeeze through the top. He was in the vents of the ship but the cops didn’t realize it. Kilmo sneaked his way into the cabin area. There he unlocked a currently unoccupied room. He stole some clothes and pretended to be someone other than him.

 

After sometime the police decided to rent a cabin onboard while looking for Kilmo, so that means that he needed to stay vigilant. Later on Kilmo went inside the food area and tried to eat something. While he was browsing for food one of the chefs came up to him.

 

“Never seen ya here mate.” The chef asked questioningly.

“I’ve been etn’ lunch in ma own cabin” Kilmo said with a fake accent.

“Hmmmm”

 

So the day went on like that he was being questioned but overall it was normal. He barely made it to the time travel deadline. He was literally about to comit suicide by jumping of the ship but the time travel thing kicked in just before he hit the water.

 

………………

 

Remember when I said that when you go through time you only go back a little well you go back about 1000 years. So now Kilmo is in 1999 and the cops now have his tracker I.D. so he can’t hide. Of course Kilmo also doesn’t know anything about the 1999s. Infact if someone asked him about it he would’ve probably said it was when the dinosaurs were around. But ofcourse, the dinosaurs were NOT around in the 1999 and Kilmo definitely saw that.

 

 Indeed Kilmo needed to find a way to get around especially since the cops get most of their mobile futuristic equipment back when they time travel. But Kilmo wouldn’t be able to blend in with society which makes it even more hard to run away. Kilmo decided that the best plan of action would be to hide in the woods because it would give him a chance to fend for himself and because the tracker I.D only shows the general area so he could hide.

 

10 hours later.  It was midnight when Kilmo heard some noise, he stopped breathing. Another hour passed and he saw nothing until he heard a large bang. He jumped up and almost screamed but didn’t, he was to tired. The next day he had to get something to eat. He walked around to find some loose change and he asked for money. He only could afford enough for one chicken nugget.

 

Later that day Kilmo ran into a suspicious person and decided to trail him. All of a sudden the person stopped then took something out his pocket and dropped it. When kilmo picked it up the world went blank. Yep another time trip, this time it only took a day and a half. And this time Kilmo was headed to year 999.

 

This time Kilmo appeared in A place south east of london. The cops right behind him. Kilmo started running faster than he thought he thought he could. While running some lady told him that she could get him away quickly, and that all that Kilmo had to do in return, is find this old dude. Kilmo took her up on her offer so the lady then took out a wand and said some words. Magically some train sail car-thing appeared with some kids on it. The train thing went was headed straight  for a castle.

 

After the long annoying ride Kilmo finally made it to the castle. The lady and the kids all disappeared out of nowhere. Kilmo thought that the only thing he could do now is go into the castle. But this time in year 999 there are knights and kings so the castle was full of that.

 

“What are thee doing her?” The king dude said.

“Uhhhh…”

“Guards, get the chains. I think I’ve found the new victim for the lion.”

 

Later on-after Kilmo got chained and put in an arena- a tiger got released in the the arena. After lets say a minute of running around the tiger finally got to kilmo but kimo was able to grab a piece of ground (I don’t know what it’s made of) and stabbed the lion.

 

“So this dude has some guts. Well guess someone will have to challenge you.” King challenged.

 

Three dudes appeared all with amour on.

 

“Pick a person here to fight.” King explained.

 

“Anyone here right?”

 

“Anyone currently present.”      

 

“Eazy. You.”

 

“Had a feeling you’d do something like that. Well if you beat me i’ll i’ll give you a wish.”

 

“What are you a witch or something.”

“I have my ways.”

So the king entered that arena and took out a sword in one hand and a really old gun. Kilmo knew right away that those old guns only had one bullet before their long reload time. So when kilmo thought that the king pushed the trigger he dropped to the ground. But the king just dropped the gun and ran over to kilmo. Before he got stabbed kilmo flipped and stabbed the kings knee using the sharp piece of wood. The king lessen his power in the stab so he couldn’t impale Kilmo’s skin.

 

“I didn’t want to give in so easy. But I guess I have to.” The king sighed.

“Very well. What is your wish?” The king asked.

 

You can probably guess what he wished for so I don’t even need to explain. But the thing is that if kilmo wished for this whole story to not happened, technically he would never have to wish for the story not to happen so the story WOULD happen so than he’d have to wish for it to not happen, and it would just keep looping.

 

Anyways the reason Kilmo robbed the bank is because he gambled. Yep kids… don’t gamble. Unless you want to.

 

              

Clear Spring opinion.

February 18, 2016 /

In my opinion, Clear Spring Park is a negative human characteristic of Germantown. I think their are multiple reasons that Clear Spring Park is negative, here are some reasons.

 

One of the reasons is that, in Clear Spring Park there is some lack of control witch leads to graffiti and fighting and kids will get hurt by the fire pits. Also because there are homeless people and, teens, that do bad stuff like smoking witch hurts the lungs of young people plus, there is liter witch is bad for the environment. 

 

So from all the evidence hat I see I think that clear spring park is one of those failed community projects corrupted by bad stuff.

Helicopters For Everyone

February 11, 2016 /

My opinion is that people should be able to use Helicopters at their expense. Traveling would be much faster because there would be no traffic because of the sky. Helicopters are faster than the typical car so even better.

 

Helicopters should be available to everyone that can handle one because people could get all sorts of things done faster through the sky. In a race between a powered up car in a Straight raceway the car won by about a second. Thing is that normal cars aren’t  powered up and to get to place you have to turn a lot so helicopters would then be faster.

 

My second reason is that using the helicopters would be fun. A lot of people have helicopters for a hobby and say that it is an awesome hobby. People can learn how to use helicopters and get a permit to use them. You only really need some open space to take off because most of them can lift vertically.

 

The third reason is that you could start your own business using the helicopters by selling them or giving rides to people that want them (because they don’t have a pass to ride one). There are already helicopter businesses and they are pretty successful.  

 

Helicopters would be fast, would be good for business, and would be a lot of fun to fly.  Because these reasons, I think that people should be able to have a helicopters.

 

     

Winter break.

January 4, 2016 /

It was new years eve of 2015 when Derek arrived at this party in New York. Of course he didn’t want to go but his mom forced him. He was like a feral bear, he didn’t want to interact with people. Anyways when they entered the party they were greeted by alot of people, most of witch Derek didn’t know about. After some time of just watching people do stuff people do at parties Derek decided to go sit at the corner and play on his cellphone. When everybody was counting down to new years Derek just ignored the people and kept playing, and when the countdown was at zero and everyone was celebrating Derek said: “Yes I got a new record!”

 

His mom was as unhappy as when a monkey losses his banana so then she snatched the phone. For awhile Derek was just a tree, he was motionless and watched everyone else. His mom finally gave him his phone back but after 15 minuets it ran out of battery. Thankfully his mom was about to leave or he would’ve rest in peace.

 

Simile: He was like a feral bear.         As unhappy as when a monkey losses its banana.

 

Metaphor: he was just a tree.

 

Civil rights Movement Derek G.

December 23, 2015 /

The Civil Rights movement affected all of the African American  people that are in the USA. The movement started around 1955 because of a bus boycott. The movement happened because African American people knew they were being treated unequal.

 

The mother of the the civil rights movement is most probably Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was born in February 14th, 1913, and died in October 24th 2005. She got her education at Highlander Folk School, and Alabama State University. She was a secretary for NAACP.

 

The reason Rosa Parks was so important is because of the Montgomery bus boycott. In 1955 Rosa parks was returning from work and got on a city bus (that had a ‘colored section’ and a white section) she sat down on the the first seat in the colored section. Later on the white section got full so the driver made the ‘colored section’ go back a seat so that meant that Rosa had to get up. But she refused to get up so the driver called the cops. The evening she got arrested NAACP decided to organize a bus boycott. The boycott lasted 381 days with 50,000 people participating  until a law passed saying that segregating in buses is bad.  

 

“I have a dream…” Martin Luther King Jr. 1963

Martin Luther King Jr is probably the most important person in the civil rights movement, mostly because he lead the movement. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in January 15, 1929, and died in 1969 by getting shot on a balcony. Martin Luther King Jr. was a  baptist Minister. He got his education in Booker T High, Boston University, and Morehouse college.

 

One of the things Martin is most recognized is by his famous ‘I Have a Dream speech’. On August 28, 1963, 250,000 people marched on the Lincoln Memorial to get the attention of president Kennedy to help get equality for African Americans. After the march important people involved with the Civil Rights movement took turns giving speeches. In his speech he told of a world where there was no segregation and how ‘Negroes’ were being treated unfair so they need to ‘cash in’ freedom. The famous line in his speech is the “I have a dream” part (can’t believe I had to google that).

Other famous lines in the speech were:

 

“I have a dream that one day right there in Alabama little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

 

Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.

       

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

 

All of the work that Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa parks did finally paid off when the Civil rights act of 1964 law was passed. The law outlawed discrimination in the USA. The President that passed this law was Lyndon Johnson but was proposed by President John F. Kennedy who believed that everyone should have equal rights.

 

Through hard work and determination Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers (people like him) changed the way African Americans were treated in the USA. Without the civil rights movement our classroom, in 2015, wouldn’t have so many kids of different races and some races would still be treated unequally.   

First Amendment.

December 1, 2015 /

I think that the most important amendment is the first amendment because it gives you the freedom of speech and lets you follow any religion you chose (or if you even want to follow an religion). It also lets you protest peacefully if you want to. Those rights are important because if you cant say what you want to most of the time you wont listen or cooperate with another person. Its also important  because you should be able to chose your own path and you wont feel with all the freedom a person should have. It is the most important because then people will act aggressively and violently witch isn’t good (also you wont have freedom and wont be treated like a human).  The other amendments are important but personally i think that  this amendment is the most important because it treats you like a human.

Derek Myth

November 20, 2015 /

Long long long ago just after time started there were three brothers each owned a part of the world but some places they did not have control over. For example the land of space had no controller since it was outside the planet, but eventually a cousin of the three brothers called nosrak decided that he also wanted to rule an important place that he could rule in peace and space seemed pretty good for his personality: bare, empty, alone, and calm. So the leader of the three brothers (Zeus) let Nosrak go to space and become the space god.

Everything was fine with everyone till Nosrak’s brother: Karson learned about the arrangement and got angry (like most siblings they don’t get along). Zeus eventually got tired of Karson’s whining and he gave Karson a place that suited him: wild, crazy, free, Chaotic and destructive and the best place with that criteria is Tornando land of wind. So that made Karson the god of wind.

Then Heades (another one of the three brothers) said that there couldn’t be a god of wind and space because they don’t go together, and that does make a lot of sense so Zeus makes a race into a forest in a forgotten land to collect a diamond and whoever gets it first becomes the permanent god of whatever they chose (incase they change their mind).

The day before the race Nosrak disappeared “He ran away… Looks like he got scared… good he was gonna get owned either way.” Karson mocked.

“It appears you may be right… (well at least in the ran away part).” Hercules added. (I forgot to mention that Karson and hercules are friends weird right?)

“Hey what’d you say i’m 100 times better than him!”

“At times like this I wonder how we’re even friends….”
“I don’t know… Opposites attract?”

“Not if you’re you” Hermes exclaimed while barging in.

“You’d be all lonely without me.” Karson yelled at Hermes while Hercules silently walked away from the chaos.

“No….. just no…..”

“Anyways why are you here.”

But Heres left without saying another word and Karson was just yelling after him but nope.

The next day Nokras didn’t show up for the race but, Zeus just told Karson to start without him.

“He’s gonna get more rekt than he as already .” Karson

“Why don’t you behave like a normal god?” Zeus sighed.

“Anyways, bye see you later I’m not planning to see you again (not that I want to)!” Zeus exclaimed.

“I’ll miss you too…” Karson said sarcastically.

Karson started running afterwards he jumped of a mountain and used his wind powers to fly into a portal that leads to another world. Once karson got to the world he right away realized that the portal disappeared and he wasn’t where he was supposed to be. It looked like half swamp and half medow.

“Where am I…. wow portals these days.” Karson murmured.

“Well I’m lost…” Karson sighed

He kept walking hunched over looking at the ground till he heard someone whisper: “Looking for the diamond”

“How’d you know.” Karson called out.

There was no answer only silence well until he heard footsteps behind him but by that time there was a bag around him so it wasn’t really that useful. When Karson got out of the bag he was in a small dusty prison-like room with about 20 people around him. The person in front of Karson punched him straight in the face. Then a guy behind the one that punched Karson in the face made a bat appear in his hand and smacked the one in front of him making him fall over Karon got up and wind blasted the one on the floor to K.O. him.

“Thanks but one question… WHERE AM I!” Karson yelled.

“In prison mate… the most secure one around… not because it’s hard to get past trails it’s just that there is a really high amount of people protecting it so that’s why only gods are put here.” The guy explained.

“I Didn’t do anything I was supposed to get a diamond in a race to become the ruler of the land of wind.”

“None of us are supposed to be here we just are. Don’t worry though because today for the first time we will escape.”

“How?”

“I have a key to that door, we were just waiting for more people that way we have more chance of success.”
“Okay so what is everyones name. Mine is Karson.”

“You only need to know to people’s names. My name is Ryln god of wood. Cinos here is the speed of the group. Why? Because he’s the god of speed, he’s important because he has command of some of us. I’m important because i’m the leader of the group and I have a plan”

“Let me hear it.”

“Step 1: Hyjak the elevator.
Step 2: Hold back people in the tunnels.
Step 3: The main assault: Open the gates and start the riot.
Step 4 : Get to the armory and get magic armor.
Step 5: destroy the magic towers
Step 6: Blow the place up
Step 7: If you survive Sneak your way to the forest. It Doesn’t matter if you get lost just survive.”

“ARE YOU CRAZY THIS IS SUICIDE! At least try to sneak out before planning an all out attack.”

“Sadly there’s no way we can do that this is our last resort…”

“…..”

“So are you in?”

“If it’s the only way out yeah… but if I get hurt, AT ALL, i’m blaming you.”

“Get hurt-… hahahahahaha… wait you’re serious it’s either succeed or die trying.”

“……….. fiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnneeeee.”
Step 1 : Karson and Ryln raced to the elevator and rode up it into the tunnels.

Step 2: “So where’s Cinos?” Karson asked Ryln
“In the tunnels. Get ready some resistance is bound.” Ryln answered.

When the elevator stopped going up the doors opened and Karson saw chaos. People holding each other, walking on walls to sneak attack, blasting each other with whatever power they have, or running down the tunnel preparing for step 3.

“Woah so much chaos.” Karson said half excited half worried.

Right away without command Karson blasted people with wind and a mini tornado like force. But was stopped by Cinos. “Everyone is assigned a place you weren’t assigned here leave this to me.” Cinos explained.

So then Karson left and went to the main wall.

Step 3: “Open the doors” Ryln yelled.

Simultaneously everyone yelled and pushed open the doors and began the massacre. Karson only survived only by summoning a mini hurricane around him and dashing to a building. Ryln survived by creating a riot shield-like thing and kicking the ground to raize roots in the ground to make a distraction.

“Where’s the armory?” Karson screeched.

“Skip step 4 it’s too risky with the magic towers and we can’t go back.” Ryln explained.

Then right after Ryln said that there was a crash on the door but it wasn’t enemy infantry, it was a fatally wounded Cinos.

“D-Don’t w-worry about…. the magic towers I dealt with them…..” Cinos stammered.

“Oh my Zeus …. what happened to you.” Karson exclaimed.

But before Cinos could answer he fell over… dead….

“I knew death would occur but still…” Karson said sadly.

Ryln had no words instead he got up and started preparing his final tree smash.

Step 6: “So should I leave?” Karson asked.

“Go survive without me… remember if at least one of us makes it out alive I call it a victory so go now…” Ryln said bravely.

“…..Bye…”

“So Long and don’t fail me.”

At that Karon ran out the building by that time the chaos had focused back into the chaos so that gave karson an easy escape across the battlefield. When Karson made it out of the war zone he heard an explosion he didn’t look at it (partly because it would be too much for his heart to handle, and partly because cool people don’t look at explosions). When Karson got in the woods he heard a familiar voice but not a good one.

Step 7:“Nosrak….. what are you doing here?” Karson yelled.

“Oh just rounding up one of the escaped inmates.” Nosrak said Like an you already know voice.

“Wait YOU DID ALL OF THIS! YOU KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE!”

“Not me… all the people I hired.” Nosrak Singged.

“THAT’S IT I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!”

“So have I”

Right away Karson used his wind speed to hurl himself at Nosrak but Nosrak teleported behind Karson using his space powers. Then Nosrak retaliated firing a beam of space at Karson but Karson blew it away using air. Well he thought he did but it just teleported behind him and critically injured him.

“Are you done?” Nosrak said sarcastically.

“I won’t give…. up.” Karson screamed

“Are you feeling okay? You don’t usually act like this.”

“YOU’RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM!”

Then Karson summoned a super power-full tornado while hiding behind a tree while he was spacing out until he lost conscious. A day later Karson woke up in Tornando with a note on his lap when he opened it, it read: ‘You have been given your own land because you have busted who was hiding all the gods. Don’t worry about him by the way he was given rid of.’

“Wait people were disappearing? Meh.” Karson said.
So after some time Karson recovered and took up the role of god of wind. He also stopped being as cocky as he was before ( But he still was himself just not as much) and learned how to value other people. He never learned what happened to Nosrak but he didn’t care. He spent the rest of time in Tornando exploring and doing stuff had usually do.
