Basketball
Basketball is ending soon for my team. This year we had a better season and went 10-6 in league play. The only thing that is left for basketball is the year end league tourney. Last year my team took 7th out of 16 teams that was pretty good for us last year when in league we went 4-12 and ranked 12th out of the 16 teams. This year we will be ranked in the top 5 out of 20 teams so our team has gotten better. This was probably are best year unlike the first year we were 1-15 in league and ranked 16 out of 16 teams. Our team has improved a lot since we were younger.
Half Days
I enjoy having half daya during school. When we have a half day at our school it is usually for a type of holiday but, this time it is midwinter break. I have never had off of school for a reason like that. Usually on half days when I come home from school I invite one of my friends over and we either go down his hill in his backyard or go to my house inside playing knee basketball and we pretty much hang out for the rest of the day. Another thing I would do was go to some sports practice most likely basketball. Basketball is always fun. Those are the basic things I do on a half day.

Zoobreak
Zoobreak

"It was a dark gloomy night. When the team was making the Zoobreak. We rid our bikes to the beach to arrive there where the transportation was supposed to be but, wasn't there". This was a part of the book; Zoobreak written by Gordon Korman, when the team went to see their transportation wasn't there. This is one of the pieces of the puzzle that this book is the tragedy mode of literature.
If it is a tragedy, the plotline must fit. The first thing on the plotline is the world is in conflict with one of the characters. The problem is a girl in the book named Savannah lost her monkey. The monkey wasn't really lost it was stolen by the owner/zookeeper of All Aboard Animals. They knew this because they went on a school field trip to the zoo. So all of Savannah's friends are going to help he get back her monkey back. The next part of the plotline is the rise to power. That was when they had successfully gotten the girls monkey. The tragic fall is the girl couldn't stand seeing the animals suffering in the dump they call a zoo. So they break all of the animals out of their cages but, the girl said "They can't survive in the wild so we can't let them go into the wild". Next it is the tragic fall the fall was they couldn't keep hiding forty animals from their parents so they tried breaking them into another different zoo. Everything was great until the owner of “All Aboard Animals” found out where they were going and they caught them. Then the owner went crazy and pulled an out a stun gun and aimed for one of the kids but, a security guard jump in the way and got hit. Shortly after that the police showed up and arrested everyone. All of the kids got off the hook because they were doing the right thing but, the owner got thrown in jail for stealing and abusing animals. The last part on the plotline was death symbolism and that was one of the friends had to move because he had sleeping problems so he went to the other side of the country.
The plotline fits so the characteristics must fit too. The characteristics are realistic and main character is in control. This book was mostly realistic everything in the book could happen. The main character was surely in control the main character didn't have to go and try to steal her monkey back. Also when they did she didn't have to stay and say she wasn't going to leave the zoo unless they saved the rest of the animals too. In addition to that since they did save all the animals most of the kids wanted to let the animals go but, Savannah didn't let anyone let the animals go. So they had to break them into a different zoo. So certainly shows that the main character was in control.
Finally the last thing is the purpose. In a tragedy mode of literature the purpose is to learn a moral lesson and to learn from our mistakes. The moral lesson is, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. That is when you have a minor problem and then make it into something bigger. That was shown when they stole the monkey back they didn't leave with just the monkey they left with the zoo. Also since the main character didn't want to let the animals go they had to break them into another zoo. Then when trying to break them into a different zoo they got caught. Everything would have been fine until Savannah made a mountain out of a mole hill.
The purpose was the last piece of a tragedy mode of literature. After stating the following this book is a tragic story. Everything that is a tragedy mode of literature fits the story, the plotline, characteristics, and the purpose all fits the story.

Superbowl
The Packers have won the Superbowl 31-25. This year I went to my friends house and watched the whole thing with his family and mine. This year instead of having dinner we just had snacks because we were to excitied about the game. Everything that was good except the adds on the T.V. There were only a couple good adds like the Dorritos and the one where someone said that Justin Bieber looks like a girl. I though the halftime show was good this year I usually don't watch the halftime show but, it was good this year. I'm glad the Packers won.

Soccer
Soccer is my favorite sport you go sprinting down the field neck and neck with your oppent. Oh I shoot I score soccer is my favorite sport. I play for Pewaukee and two of my friends are on my team Teddie and Gabe. Gabe plays in goal and my and Teddie play on the field once in awhile Gabe plays on the field. Soccer can be a three season sport. We play in the Fall most of our season and then we play indoor soccer and then we have a few games in the spring. Right now we play on a high school field and have eleven people on one team on the field at once it doesn't get crowded in because we play on such a big field.

Snow day
Yesterday was a snowday and my friends and I were making many things in the snow like snowman. First we my best friend came and got me and it took us 30 min to get everyone else on the street it was really hard to walk through the snow. When we finally went to my friends house we went down his mini hill in his backyard. When we were done with that we went in a court and climbed the huge mound in the middle. Then we went inside and had hot chocolate. After that we advantaged back into the snow and went to my house we ended up going back inside and we played some viedo games that is what we always do that on a snowday.
