Creative Writing Piece(1): Soul Surfer

It was a normal day in Hawaii. Bethany and her friend Alana, went to practice surfing for their competition. Bethany is now a famous surfer. This is a true story and is also a very good movie. Bethany, Alana , Alana's brother and father. They are all amazing at surfing. After a few waves later and Bethany and Alana were floating on their board and talking. Bethany's arm was resting in the water hanging off of the board. Then all of a sudden a shark was swimming around them and they didn't even know. The shark came up and bit her arm. It was a good thing that Bethany didn't go into a coma. It was really scary for her friend and Alana's Dad because he was the only adult there and had to take his swim shirt off and rap it around her shoulder. In the process of trying to save Bethany's life, Alana's brother had to run through the part of the ocean and through the forest to call and ambulance. When Bethany and Alana went out surfing, Bethany's dad had to have knee surgery.


When Bethany was all healed she able to do many things with only 1 arm. It was probably hard at first to be able to figure out how she was going to survive off of 1 arm. There were some things that she was not able to do, like put her swim suit top on or tying shoes(not like you wore tennis shoes when you lived on the beach). This was probably my favorite true story that I have read about and watched about in movie form! I recommend this for any one who likes true stories.

Creative writing piece 2

My family and I have a cottage. It is in Westfield, Wisconsin. A lot of people ask me where that is well it is about 2 hrs away and is right by Stevens Point. We go up there a lot during the summer. Like on holidays and just whenever we are bored or when we have free time. It is close enough that we can go there for a day. It is pretty small. There are three rooms in the cottage with two beds in each. We are normally outside all day and are right next to a lake. The lake all you have to do is walk in the front yard and you are on the lake. This year I am happy because I might be able to bring a friend. Last summer I learned how to get up in the deep water on 1 ski. Also last year my brother, Matt, learned how to ski on 2 skies. Also last year on labor day my friend up there, Daley and I went double skiing together. I have to say the best place in the world is up north. It is very fun, and there are many activities.

The Lovely Bones

This book is about a girl that gets murdered. She was walking home at night and her neighbor asked her if she wanted to have a coke with him in a secret place he made. Mr. Harvey was her killer. She was taking a short cut through the corn field so she could get home faster because it was getting dark out and she was really hungry. It was very suspicious because of all people why would he murder her? She thought that he was a nice neighbor. Obviously you can't judge people by their looks because Susie would have never thought that it would be him to kill her. Susie told Mr. Harvey that she wanted to go and eat and he like grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down and she got killed. After that when she makes it to heaven she tells about her life and about her heaven and how she wishes that she could have changed the whole cornfield incident.

State Basketball

This year our basketball team went to state. We won all 7 games by a lot, except for the last two games which were really close. The last 2 games were against Deforest and Eisenhower. We won the championship by on point and it was really exciting. At half time we were down by 25 points and ended up winning by 1 point. It was probably the best moment of my life.

Spring Break

For spring break I am not going really anywhere. I will probably practice basketball. Last year during spring break I was practicing basketball and got plastic in my eye. I had to get it removed from my eye. At first I didn't know that it was plastic,but it got all red and puffy and it hurt really bad. Later that day I went and got to see morgan, because she was visiting. It was a raelly fun Spring Break other than when I got plastic in my eye.

Jon Leuer

Jon plays for the Wisconsin Badgers, and plays basketball. He is a senior in college. Jon is 6 foot 10 inches and is amazing in the post position! Someday I would like to play college basketball and be at least 5 foot 11 inches so that I can play post. My dad thinks that someday he will go pro because he is so good.

There are a lot of people that think that he is amazing, which he is.
Someday it would be really cool to meet him. I would have to look really high up just to say hi to him. I thought that my dad was tall but he is 4 inches taller than my dad.

I wish he wasn't a senior because then he would have another year at wisconsin and next year it will be different because our two post players are seniors. I also hope that the badgers will get farther in the NCAA tournie because if they made it to the champioship this year they would have had to play UCONN which I would have loved to see that game. Jon is the best!

Good Choices

If you were a dove hunter and was ordered to catch one-hundred doves would you follow the king’s instructions? It depends, especially if one of the doves that you catch talks to you and says that you should release him, and if you do you get he will get the beautiful lady that the king said he will be marrying. If that happened to me than I would probably release the dove, but the dove hunter instead kept him and he never saw a dove again, because he didn’t release the white dove. If you believe that what you are doing is right then follow your conscious and keep on doing it.

Sometimes if you are in the same kind of situation, like the dove hunter, do what you think is right. Hugh, the dove hunter probably was in the middle, when the dove told him that he would get the king’s wife if he let him go. Hugh wanted to please the king and also get the girl. When he was told that by the bird he probably didn’t know what to do, but instead didn’t listen to the bird. If Hugh would have thought about it and listened to the bird then his life would have probably been better, especially since the king lied to him and he wasn’t really getting married. I don’t believe that Hugh thought about it, he probably thought that it was just a bird and thought, why would anyone listen to a bird. That’s what I would probably do if a bird that I caught was talking to me but you never know when weird things like that will happen to you.

What would have happened if Hugh listened to the bird? The white dove specifically told Hugh that if he let the dove go that he could get the beautiful girl that the king was marrying, if he let him free. I don’t think that Hugh believed the dove because he ended up keeping him and giving him to the king. If I was the dove hunter, I would have no clue who to believe because when he found out that the king wasn’t even getting married, he was disappointed when he caught all of those bird for nothing. He was also probably cursed by the white dove, because he didn’t let it go, but instead gave it to the king to eat. If the dove hunter would have known that the king lied to him just so that he could eat some birds, then he probably would have let the white dove free and gotten what he wanted.

In conclusion, if people do what they think is right then it is most likely right. Follow your conscious and keep on doing it, even if other people think that it is wrong. You also shouldn’t put yourself in danger just to help someone else.
