Thunderstorm


This is a picture of a thunderstorm.  The sky is a deep, dark, mysterious color.  It is changing from a light purple to a dark, rich purple.  You can see the treetops, which are black against the dark sky.  The leaves on the treetops make different shapes and lumps.  Spread out across the sky, there are several lightning flashes.  There are three lightning flashes which make up the main part of the picture.  The lightning flashes are like cracks of intense light on a wall, and the cracks are quickly spreading.  It looks almost as though the sky will rip apart and there will be nothing but a huge sheet of light.  Each lightning flash is more intense than the others.  The one going down the left side of the picture is the most dangerous one.  It is thick, like a stick, but has thinner "cracks" growing out of it.  The one on the right side is significantally thinner, and also has the cracks growing out of it.  The third one, is the smallest and thinnest one of all.  The lightning strikes are shedding a pink-white color light.

What's it like to be famous?

Okay, I'm not entirely sure if I am doing this assignment right, so I'll do what I think it is...

Ladies and gentlemen... THE BEATLES!!!!!  Imagine having a huge crowd of thousands of people screaming for you.  You grab a guitar, go to the microphone, and the whole world stops and just listens to you.  Just imagine.  You are one of the first people who started rock and roll.  You were one of the people who brought a fresh new sound to the US (during that time period.) You and the band made so many new hits that constantly were making the top 5 chart list.  Even today, after all of these years, imagine just walking down the street and having someone notice you and having someone say, "Dude, I loved you guys, and I still love you!"  Imagine appearing on The Edward Cullens Show and have every single person's eye focused on you and only you.  Imagine all of the young girls screaming your name when they see you.  Imagine the crying fans that you see all the time.  Imagine being in the greatest rock band of all time.

What the heck is that?

Kindergarteners: Sparky the dog lived on a farm.  So did Edward, the rooster.  One day, while Sparky was outside in the yard, he heard a "cock-a-doodle-do!" from Edward.  So he ran as fast as he could to see what the strange noise was.  He saw it was Edward.
"Hi, my name is Sparky, what's your name?" Sparky asked.
"My name is Edward," Edward said.
"Do you want to be my friend?" Sparky asked.
"Oh yes I do want to be your friend!" Edward exclaimed.
After that, the two of them spent all of their time together.  They would go and play in the barn, and when they got tired, they laid down to take a nap.  The two of them spent so much time together that they blended together!

Grandparents: Grandma, Grandpa, I have a horrible story to tell you.  I was taking a stroll down through my neighborhood, and I come to this corner.  There, I find a dog and a rooster.  The dog and the rooster were both trying to get across the street.  Before I could make a move to rescue them, a car come zooming out of nowhere.  Obviously, the person in the car was a careless driver, so he didn't see the dog or the rooster... so he hit them both.  I was so sure that both of them were not going to survive.  But when I looked back, I saw the most astonishing thing.  It seemed as though the dog and the rooster had blended as one.  It looked like a normal dog, but with a rooster's head.  I took it home with me, and I hope I can keep it.
