Thank Ma'm Response Question 1
That everything happens for a reason so you have to be smart to not risk anything because everything happens for a reason. If you take things the wrong way something bad might happen to you but, in this story the boy was lucky that the lady treated him how she did. One example is the Bucks lost last night 97-92 they lost because they didn't score the most points. They didn't score the most points because they are not the most talented team in the NBA. The team they played had much more talent so therefore the Bucks lost. That is an example on why everything happens for a reason.

The Pick Pocket
Author's Note: A story about David
1/23/12
David froze, checking his pockets. Where was the money? He started to search his house frantically searching for his money. He rushed into his bedroom and tore his dresser apart searching for his money. He didn't find anything so he went searching into his kitchen throwing his coffee maker on the ground and shattered it. Searching through all the his containers and drawers and couldn't find it. He screamed in frustration. He sat down furious that he couldn't find his money the rent on his apartment. This was his 3rd and final strike for not paying his rent and he will be thrown out. He was thinking trying to replace his steps on where he could have lost it. All he did today was take the bus to go get medication for his sore back. He rushed out the door and take a bus to the pharmacy. When he arrived he busted through the door and headed to the clerk wondering if the had found money today. The clerk shook his head no and David was stunned wondering where is money has went. He walked out the door in disbelieving that he lost his rent money that was due the next day. In shock he fall over and fainted.
When he came too he realized he was in the hospital and was wondering why he was here. The doctor came over and said that the police had found him unconscious laying on the curb. He still didn't know why he was still here. Then the doctor finally told him that he was in the hospital because both of his legs were shattered. A car in a high speed chase ran over him in to be a distraction thus shattering both of his legs. David asked the doctor how would he pay for this he had no home, no job, and no money. As well as having none of that he had no parents and the closest relative is living in China for business. He had no one to bail him out. He sat there for countless hours recovering for his latest wound.
Then nurse said there was someone to see him a short chubby little man walked in. David had no clue who this was. He soon realized that it was one of the workers from the pharmacy he went in he also knew that was the man who accidentally bumped into him. The chubby man introduced himself as Fredrick. Fredrick looked sad when he introduced himself. Fredrick told the story that instead of accidentally bumping into him he actually pick pocketed him. David sat stock in disbelieving that this story wasn't true and died of a heart attack. Fredrick was stunned standing not knowing what to do. He left in silence out of the hospital.

The Comparison
Nick Majeskie
1/11/12
Author's Note: This story is about the similarities and differences between April Mornings and the movie The Patriot.
He was quickly reloading to get another shot on him. Bang! The gun sends a tiny musket ball heading right for a British soldier it hits him in the arm. He drops his gun and falls in pain. In the movie The Patriot, the main character Benjamin is fighting against the soldier who killed both of his sons. This movie is similar to the book April Mornings. These books are similar and different compared to each other.
The book and the movie have many similarities. One similarity is the two were happening in the same time period. You could tell they were in the same time period because in both stories used muskets when they fought against the British. Also the two priests were called the Reverend. In addition they both used swords as a secondary weapon. Another reason you could tell it was in the same time period is because they either traveled on foot or by horse.
Also another similarity is the both were fighting for America. They were fighting for America because they were fighting against the British to win over the land. As well as that they both had won the battle in the two stories. Also they had to overcome many things. One is they were outnumbered by hundreds. They also had very little food and shelter. They were both militias and farmers and didn’t know all the war tactics.
As well as similarities there are differences. One difference is the type of main character. They are different ages. The main character in the movie is in his forties and had several children and the main character in the book is about seventeen. This affects the story in a lot of ways. The forty year old would have a lot more experience than the seventeen year old. Another difference is that in the movie it was on a bigger scale. In the book they were just defending their home town from the British. The battle in the book had no effect on the outcome in the war unlike the movie where it had a big effect on the wars outcome.
Finally the two books have many similarities and differences. One same is they both was fighting for and America and freedom. The main difference was the impacted the two battles had on the total outcome of the war. The two stories are similar on different.

Dead Man's Path Response
This story reminds me of a story I have heard before. The other story is about this guy who comes across a bunch of money. He was living well until one day this strange man said they should be friends and the guy with all the money spent if and wasted it in one day. In Dead Man's Path he had it all but, he wasted his chance of having it big time.
