The Antagonist of my Story

This is about the antagonist for my plot line. The antagonist in my story is the traffic which zoomed by as the frog was catching the fly. It was made of cars mostly and was preventing the frog from its prey. Some cars were yellow while others were blue, red or black. Most went fast but there was the occasional lazy driver. The people driving the cars were taking a shortcut to work or going to a friend’s house for a BBQ or in one person’s case taking a driver’s test. The slowest of cars was an elderly lady who clearly needed glasses, as she constantly swerved left and right on the straight road.

The Frog

This is about the frog from one of my plot lines. The frog is green with brown spots, and can jump very high. It likes to read “Seventeen” and “Time” magazine. It says “ribbit” in a very low voice. His right eye is bigger than his left. It’s name is frog, and he is 17 years old. He graduated from Harvard Grad. at the top of his class. His mother died when he was young and he had been alone since. Last week he was fired from his job and that’s why he was stranded on the street having to eat flies.

Plot Lines

    These are five plot lines for stories. The frog jumped to try and catch the fly. The lion pounced on the wounded animal. The car hit the man walking on the sidewalk. The man died from the shock of the sudden plot twist. A second man came and saw one word of the plot twist, then went unconscious.

The Alphabet

This is about the Alphabet. The first letter in the alphabet is A and the second is B. This is in our alphabet, in the Latin version the first two letters are Alpha and Beta which is why it’s called the AlphaBet. Also, the first four letters of the alphabet, A,B,C,D, don’t appear in any numbers until the number 100. In fact, “C” isn’t in any single number. Text that deliberately excludes one letter of the alphabet is called a lipogram. The best recorded English lipogram was a book in 1939 a book called Gadsby: Champion of Youth. It used more than 50,000 words, none of which contained the letter “E”. Finally, a sentence which contains all 26 letters of the alphabet is called a pangram, an example is "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."

Fake Leap Day Tradition

  This is a fake Leap Day tradition. For Leap Day you go home, and do whatever you want. I would stay at home and play on my computer and watch television, or I might play on my Xbox 360. You also don’t have to work the next day. That’s about all there is to the “holiday” if you call it that.

Unfinished Projects

This is about projects I have started but never finished. I hate thinking about things I have started but never finished, it makes me feel bad to know it’s still there and I haven’t done it. Whenever I think about one I try to shrug it off and forget about it, because I hate thinking about it. When I don’t finish a project it’s usually because I really didn’t like doing it, so I know that I’ll have to go and do more of it if I want to finish it. Or it could be harmless and I like it, but someone said something about me or it and whenever I think about completing the project, I remember what the person said and it makes me want to not do it.

My Extra-Curricular

This is about my extra-curricular. I don’t have an extra-curricular anymore because the basketball season ended, although it was very fun when I did. I played for Reliable Construction for the second year in a row, with the same coach as the last year. We were the best team in the league, only one team defeated us and they often cheated. They would literally slap our team in the face during games. Had they played fair we would have beaten them. I usually got at least one basket a game, a personal season record, and I had an incredible growth spurt so I was able to play incredible defense.

Humility

This is how I feel about humility. Being humble means to realize you’re not the best at something, or to realize someone is better than you. I think being humble is extremely important because God favors humility and hates pride. I struggle with humility in math, I find it hard to ask others for help when I know I should and when I help others I feel proud that they asked me. When others aren’t humble to me I feel angry. When they think they’re better than me they won’t listen to what I have to say, even though it could help them, they just decide to do their own thing without considering things.

My Favorite Books

These are my favorite books. When I was younger my favorite book was Duncan the Dancing Duck, because my name is Duncan. Obviously it’s about a duck named Duncan who dances. My mom would read it to me before I went to sleep some nights. My favorite book now is The 39 Clues. It’s about two orphans who search the globe to find the 39 clues. I really like these books so I am always happy to see the Dancing Duck in my room or to hear a new 39 Clues is coming out.

My Personality Profile

This is about my personality profile. Last Thursday Mrs. Cindy Rich came into my class and gave us a personality quiz. We had to answer questions about which trait is most like us in a row of character traits, giving the one most like us a 4 and the least a 1. At the end we added up our score in each column and whichever one had the most points would give a letter to describe us. My letter was “C” which basically means I like to think carefully before I do things, I like to work carefully and organized, and I like to work with like-minded people who can get the work done. I learned that I need to tell people what’s wrong with me instead of just thinking about it and bottling it up.

Things that Anna Needs to Know about Crown

This is what our new student Anna needs to know about Crown. First off, the teachers don’t go home every day, they sleep on the roof each night. Also, every day at two o’clock a hobo comes in and breaks all of our windows. She also needs to know that we have another student named Anna so we need to find a way to identify who were talking about when we say their name. They do have one major difference though... The new Anna is older by a couple months. That’s pretty much all she needs to know, except that we have fire drills each day where we set the kitchen on fire and evacuate the school.

My Chapel Yesterday

This is about my chapel yesterday. Yesterday my school had a guest speaker over for chapel, most of us call her Mrs. Trisha. She gave us candy for just being awesome people, and she kept on hitting me. I usually don’t get picked for audience participation. She gave out handfuls of candy at the end and they were very good. She was a very nice guest, and she was okay with people not always having to give a correct answer to every question.

My Day with my Little Brother Scott

This is about my day with my little brother Scott yesterday. Yesterday I stayed home to do my work so I could watch my little brother Scott because he might have been sick, we had a good time. He was watching Octonauts, Mickey Mouse, and Veggietales nonstop. We played a bunch of different games with each other and he liked to play with my fedora. When he saw some people headbutt on television then say, “ow” he touched his head to my stomach and said, “ow” over and over; it was very cute. One of my favorite parts of the day was when he fell asleep at 2 o’clock, giving me the rest of the day to relax.

The Differences Between the Color Red and the Color White

    These are the differences between the color red and the color white. The color red is the color of blood, and white is not. The color white is easier to see in the dark than red is. Also, red is the name of a movie which I’ve seen that is really funny, white is not. Some similarities between the two colors, is that they are both used for Valentine’s Day. They also both make up the color pink.

What I am Looking Forward to in Universal Studios

This is what I am looking forward to in Universal Studios. I am going to Universal Studios today for my 13th birthday, and I am excited about all of the Marvel Comics rides. I am a huge Marvel fan and my favorite hero is Spider-Man, so I got very happy when I heard there was a store that only sold Spider-Man merchandise. I also love roller coasters and fast rides so I can’t wait to go on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster and the Dr. Doom ride. I don’t know the name of the Dr. Doom ride, but you go high up on a seat, then drop straight down to the ground. I can’t wait to go to Universal, but I am really excited that I am just going with my dad.

Where I would go if I could Jump in a Car and go Anywhere

This is where I would go if I could jump in a car and go anywhere. I would go to Universal Studios in Orlando, because I will already be going there on Wednesday. I already have my tickets and have booked the hotels, so I would just have to get there. Me and my dad would be the only ones to go, leaving the rest of my family and friends to have to do school work and chores. I’m sure it would would be fun, even though it would be my first time there... Mainly because I already looked it up online.

What I have Learned about Elections this Year

This is what I have learned about elections this year. I have learned that for the Presidential election there is one candidate from the Republican Party and another from the Democratic Party. The President is his parties’ candidate, while the other party has elections months before the president is voted on in order to decide the other parties’ candidate. I have also learned about how each candidate needs a certain amount of delegates from each state in order to be that party’s candidate. I have even learned that my state, South Carolina, is such an important state in deciding the candidate, because we are one of the first states to vote on it.

Positive things People have said to me

These are some nice things my friends have said about me. “You’re funny and nice.” “You’re smart.” “Without you the school couldn’t function.” “You are always very calm.” “You work without stressing out.”

My Favorite Memory of the School Year so Far

    This is my favorite memory of the school year so far. My favorite memory of the school year was last night when three of my friends from school came to watch my basketball game. I was so happy to see them there. Unfortunately they came on the only game where I didn’t score any points. Although it was still fun to see them there. They had come because earlier in the week was my thirteenth birthday, so they wanted to do something special and I definitely thought it was.

If Jesus were to Walk through the Door of my School

This is what I would do if Jesus were to walk through the door of my school and say He wanted to spend the day with me. First I would ask Him if it was the end of the world, then He might say yes. If He did I wouldn’t show him any of my work because we would be going to heaven. When we get there I would hang out with him and go to my place in heaven where I would live and we would check it out. After this we would probably go to God the Father and talk to him, and I would like to find out about those animals that were in heaven with all the eyes. (I am pretty sure that’s in Revelations.)

The Book I would like to Read for School

This is the book I would like to read for my school. My school is going to make me read a book but they are going to let me give suggestions for what it could be, I would like for it to be a Hardy Boys book. I have a whole stack of them at my house and I have only read half of them, so I figure I should read the rest. If I don’t choose a book I will have to either read “To Kill a Mockingbird” or “The Hunger Games” and I don’t want to read them so I figured I should read a Hardy Boys book which I did enjoy when I still read them.

My Schedule

This is my schedule. Each day at school I have to do 50 min. of math, soc. studies, W2Ls, and other things. First I get to school and try to unpack my computer before morning meeting, where my entire school gets together and we talk about anything important and we pray. After that I go to my desk and I do 25 min. of my math. Then I will do my W2Ls, write to learn, for the week. After those I will work on my social studies project for the week. When I want to take a break from that I will work on anything else I might have, then I have recess and lunch. After all this I do 25 min. of math, Bible class, soc. studies, and I pack up.
