Writing Prompts

Number one:
My legs were beginning to cramp as I sat motionless in my hiding place. I tried to slow my breathing, but I could hear my heartbeat drumming in my ears. I wondered if it could be heard in the deafening silence. I felt my calf muscle tighten painfully and as a reaction, I shifted my weight. The sound echoed and it was my fatal mistake…

Number two:
Sam felt the sun shining down on his shoulders while he sat happily by the stream. It was a perfect sunny day and luckily he was spending it with Sarah. Then, all at once Sarah pointed at the water. “Look Sam!” Sarah exclaimed. “It is a…”

Tug - A - War

Once in my life I was caught as the center of attention in a large fight (This involving many family members). The fight was over a persons interpretation of me not speaking.

I never did get my revenge on that certain person( Whom I wish to be kept unnamed). I wanted to at first, but it was an on going battle. I don't believe anyone got revenge over the other. It seemed as if it were going back and forth.

This fight tore me up inside, made me feel like I had to choose a side,(An example of this would be tug- a-war, where the rope is being pulled between two sides or more. Eventually one side has greater strength over the others, and the rope is forced to go there.) and wishing it was over. During the fight I felt a feeling of greatness that people were standing up for me, but by the end I felt slightly guilty.

I would think " If I had only said more during the fight, not let people take the blame for me, or had I spoken loudly or more clearly before hand none of this would have happened."

"None of This Would Have Happened."

3. I couldn't leave like that. I had to know why

I couldn't just leave the rink with out knowing what was going to happen to Cody. I saw the blood on the ice and I felt like crying , why was there so much blood, what was I going to with out my big brother. He was the world to me, we were best friends.

About a year or so after Cody passed on my mom and dad told me that I was going to have a little brother or sister, I was hoping my mom was going to have a boy because I felt like if my mom had a little boy he would be replacing Cody. No one could ever replace Cody, I didn't know that at the time, not until Jordyn was born.

Two years after Cody passed on, we moved into our new, big house. In our new house we had an extra room, that is Cody's room, it has some of his things in there. One month after we moved into the house, Jordyn was born and I fell in love with her even after I thought I wouldn't like her.

When Jordyn was born I didn't know if I was going to like her or not because she wasn't a boy, I didn't want a little sister. I wanted a little brother. My mom told me that Jordyn wasn't going to take Cody's place, for a while I didn't believe her. My mom was right, but there are certain things that Jordyn does that remind us of Cody.

Jordyn's middle name is C.J which is short for Cody Josh. Even though Jordyn didn't know him he is a part of her. Cody is always talked about in our house. He will always be apart of our family and in our hearts forever. We always enjoy hearing all the stories that people tell.

Every year we give a trophy away to the most dedicated Novice player. He was a very dedicated hockey player and loved the game, he always told mom that him and Steven were going to play in NHL.

Christmas is very hard for us still around our house, it just isn't the same. Mom and Dad try the best they can to always make the best possible holiday for Jordyn and I.

4. You are in the last month of 2010! Write about what you accomplished over the year and what you'd like to accomplish in the last month of 2010.

This year in Mr. Oldcorn's class I have been getting better marks on my math sheets, practice tests and real tests. I have also been getting better at acting in front of my class and other classes.

I have been able to help my friends in math because I understand the math much better since Mr. Oldcorn has been teaching me. I think now that I'm in Mr. Oldcorn's class I have a lot more confidence than I did before. Another thing that I have accomplished is getting better marks on my fitness run because I don't want to get lower than 7 this year, the lowest mark I have gotten is 8 or 9 so far.

What I would like accomplish this year is get 90 or higher on my math test and be able to
