John wall

There is a rookie in the NBA named John Wall. John Wall is a rookie guard out of Kentucky. In the 2010 NBA draft John Wall was the first overall pick to the Washington Wizards, this year the Wizards didn't do so hot, but their future is in good shape with a young leader on the floor. John Wall is a very quick talented guard that is very young. With a young leader on the floor a franchise can go far, because you will be able to keep them for a while.

NBA playoffs

The National Basketball Association season is coming to an end. At the end of every year there is a big tournament called the playoffs. This part of the year is the most emotional and physical games of the year. Every team that made it to the playoffs played good in the year and was one of the top 16 teams to make it. As of right now there are only seven teams left and six of those seven teams are playing in a game 5 situation just to stay in the playoffs. So far my favorite team is in the playoffs still and about to defeat the Boston Celtics who have went to the finals three years in a row.

                                                   Waukesha Blazers

My baseball team is called the Waukesha Blazers. This year my team might be one of the top in the whole entire league. I really enjoy playing baseball because some people might say its a lazy mans sport, but it's not. I enjoy the quick bursts of energy towards the ball. It's a big burst of energy because you have no idea what kind of hit the batters is going to hit. If its going to be a rocket or a short choppy ball up the middle.

I also enjoy baseball to play the games in the nice sun. I really enjoy basketball, but it's much different playing in the gym than outside. You are able to hang with your friends eating some peanuts and sunflower seeds, then when it's your turn to bat just go show them what you got. We have only played three games this year, but they have been some of the best games of my life.

GARBOLOGY By: Alex,Drew

he straw named Bob

Once upon a time there was a straw named bob he was a little straw. One day straw bought a beautiful car it was a sweet van. It went 0 to 60 in a half of a second. One day when bob was enjoying his car a mean knife came along and said give me my car or I'll cut you with these Sharpe band-aids.

No, no sir please don't. It's too late for that, that car belongs to me. "Oh yeah well you can’t handle the truth" said the straw. The Knife replied, "Oh yeah well I know your greatest fear I know how back in 99' at the carnival the interaction you had with the clown, and I know that's the only thing that scares you." "Oh yeah well I know what scares you, back in 98' I remember the toy truck explosion, ha didn’t see that one coming now did you Mr.Knife. "Oh yeah well I don’t think you’ve got talent nor do you have the power to pull it off."

So since knife and Straw are enemies they decided to settle this over the phone. Straw gave his business card to knife and they talked about this over the phone. When they were talking over the phone straw claimed that knife took his beloved hair clip and now is not giving it back. But knife is saying that straw stole his green beads and is not giving it back.So when they found out they had just lost those items they decided to forgive so now they were bracelets to symbolize their friendship.

Spring Assessment

How bad does he want it? In the story "The Hundredth Dove" by Jane Yolen the fowler Hugh must catch a hundred doves to bring to the King's wedding for the most beautiful women in the world. The king spoke once "Do not fail me Fowler" (Page 1). The fowler had the heart and the desire to keep moving on and help his fellow king have the best wedding he could have. The fowler had rough times by only catching ninety nine birds and having to catch the one bird, but the king had his trust he knew the fowler would come through. Which shows perfect friends have trust and desire.

The purpose of the story was to show that if you have trust and desire you can get through the tough times and make perfect friends. When the king was getting married he trusted the fowler to get what he wanted to make the perfect wedding. The fowler also ran into some troubles, when he caught the final dove, the dove tried to convince him to let him free. The fowler responded "I swear by the king whom I serve and by the lady who will be his queen that I will capture that bird" (page 3). The desire out of the fowler to not let his king down made him the perfect friend to throw the perfect wedding.

In the short story "The Hundredth Dove" the fowler helps throw the wedding for the king, weddings are a happy ceremony where to people get to share their love with each other for the rest of their life. The happy flying birds and the white dresses this was a happy occasion. The story was a very romantic comedy story because of the wedding and the birds flying around.

In the short story  "The hundredth Dove" there was suppose to be the most beautiful wedding ever, well overall water finds it own level. The loyalty from the fowler and from his queen was too much for the king. The dove ended up dying in the kitchen with a very sad ending, the end came to false loyalty. The false loyalty wasn't from his fowler, but only from his queen. The queen gently spoke "Master fowler, set me free, Gold and silver I'll give thee"   (page 3). It wasn't meant to be, in life love and loyalty only come from the heart and true meaning of what you came to search for and what you came to find.

In the short story “The hundredth Dove” trust was the word. Trust is the main factor to life; you can’t live without it, like the bond between the fowler and the king. The bond couldn’t be broken, to start something strong you must finish strong. The queen and the dove was no match for what they had for each other and will have until their trust has been broken which could be a while.

In the last couple years though Rickie has been hurt a couple times. He has been hit by a pitch in both wrists to have season ending surgery.

Upcoming World Series

This baseball season has just begun. I have waited since the beginning of football season for baseball season to come. This year I am not sure who is going to win, last year was a shock with two teams that were at the bottom of the league, but this year might be the best in my book.
