I’m proud to be an American. The word proud is used by many people and used towards many things. Proud means to me, something pleasing or it is superb. That is why I’m proud to be an American. If I wasn’t proud of America I wouldn’t be living here. They stand up for what is right. They fight against terrorist and many other dreadful things. They also help though in need. There are numerous things to be proud of in America.
One thing is, in this country you have freedom to speak and believe what you want. Unlike in other countries you could die for what religion you believe in because other people contradict with you. Such as in India they believe that the cow is the extraordinary animal and you aren’t a loud to kill them and use them as meat, that is unheard of in India but, in India you don’t die for it, they just won’t sell it in the stores there. As well as speak we have a democracy. We get to chose who leads are country which is the president, they aren’t born into it. Also the president doesn’t get complete control of everything there are branches in the government so he doesn’t have control of everything.
In addition to having a democracy and freedom of speech, the U.S also helps countries in urgent need. One example is Hati after the earthquake. We were sending people there to help clean up and help with handing out food and donating money. As well as Hati they also helped Japan out after the tremendous title wave. Also they help hand out food and help clean up. Also instead of just helping other countries they also help our own country. They help suffering citizens by giving them health care, as well as food assistance, and subsidized housing.
Another reason I’m proud is they fight against terrorism. In the last couple of months the U.S has captured two leaders of Al Qaeda to help terminate terrorism. So they are helping innocent people stay safe. Also they help other countries in their own wars for what is right such as the war in Iraq. This could help stop terrorist from forming so more people stay safe.
Finally I’m proud to be an American because they help people. They also stand up for what is right. They show this by helping people in our country and others. As well as helping they have a democracy. So many people so be proud to be an American.

Dear Alex Rider,
I have been reading documents on your life (Alex Rider series) and seem to me that you are working for an agency named MI6. It occurs to me that you always say you hate MI6 and they are never there for you when you need them. So if you hate them so much then why do you go back to them?
I don’t understand the constant wail of you saying they are no help when they saved your life many times. If they really didn’t help you would be died by now. Then if they weren’t a help you would be died from the storm breaker computer from the malicious made man that hated England. Also they give you gadgets, for every possible thing that could happen, such as every time you get locked in a cell you find away to escape with the gadgets. Even though your disgust them you always go back to them. At first you seemed to like working for them but, obviously that has changed. Finally the last couple of reasons are you got yourself into this in the first document (First book) I read about you it said you were snooping around and you found out about of them and then you had to become one. So you brought this upon yourself.
There is many ways you could have went about this. You didn’t have to snoop around you could just have stayed normal. You could have just gone back to school but, you had to know so now you’re too far into this now. So you did this to yourself. So suck it up and do not complain about it.

Story of a Smoker
Authors Note: This piece is a story about why you shouldn’t smoke, because smoking is bad for health.

Nick Majeskie
Did you know 443,000 die from smoking related problems each year? Lung, larynx, esophageal, and oral cancer kills most smokers each year. Most smokers don’t realize this is happening to people who smoke every year. If you don’t want to end up like the average smoker then stay away from the stuff. That is some reasons why smoking is bad.
First it starts out as “Oh, it is only one it won’t hurt” it turns into smoking more than a pack a day. Then you will end up with some serious problems. People won’t want to be around you because they will get sick of smelling the smoke nonstop. I know I wouldn’t want to be around you. Also the average smoker spends around $165 dollars a month on cigarettes. That is 1,980 dollars a year you could buy a used car with that money. I don’t know why it tantalizes people to smoke cigarettes it just makes them look absurd. It baffles me how people think it is good to smoke. A trend seems to start then your friends will start smoking to and that would hurt your social group then you and your friend will end up with health problems. It can also lead to hair loss, turning your teeth yellow, giving you wrinkles at early age.
They’re many harmful effects of smoking. So if you want health and appearance problems then do not smoke. It will help your overall health in the long run. It will also keep your friends and family from the risk of trying it or second hand smoking. So tell your friends and family stay away from smoking.

Might Casey
Author’s Note: This is a letter from his General manger saying what he did wrong for being so cocky and what consequences are.

Nick Majeskie
Dear Casey,
I have saw your last game, I also saw you strike out to end the game. Thanks to “Mighty Casey” we lost and now we aren’t going to the playoffs because if that game. The Nashville Sound is going to the playoffs instead of us. Flynn and Jimmy Blake came through for you and you couldn’t follow up. If you weren’t so cocky and tried to swing at the first two pitches we could have won.
I know you came through at other times but, when it came to the big stuff you failed me, I’m disappointed of your performance and your cocky display. That proves that if you’re cocky you will never prevail. Maybe if you did come through I wouldn’t be that mad at you.
See now you have learned a life lesson maybe that will help you next year I don’t have to offer you another contract since yours expired this year I’m considering not to. I will have to discuss with the fellow board members to see if we should or shouldn’t offer you a contract. I paid big bucks for you to come here and lead Mudville to its first playoff appearance or maybe a world championship. I traded many players to get you and when it is your time to shine but, you were too cocky to swing.
The board of Mudville baseball is disappointed in your judgment of how you should have played the game and hears by not giving you a contract next year so you will become a free agent and another team may pick you up if they want.
Sincerely,
General Manger Bob Smith

NBA Good and the Bad
This year the bucks had a chance of going to the playoffs again when they were well under five hundred for winning percentage. I personally think that is horrible and that they had a chance of going to the playoffs. I think the reasoning is because there were a lot of good teams and it was either you were under five hundred by a lot or you were over five hundred by a lot. There were a few middle teams but, not that many as last year. After a while though all the good teams are starting to get old except for the Thunder, Heat, and Bulls. Those are the good young teams the Bucks are young but, they are not good. There are many teams that haven't been heard of but, they are getting better.
For the last ten years there are a few teams that always have bad records such as the Kings, Nets, Bobcats, and Wizards. Most people probably haven't heard of the Kings because they were never good and the Jazz were a good team until they traded Deron Williams. Now he is on the Nets and the Nets are still not good. A team that is getting better are the Knicks they have superstars Amer'e Stadimerer and Carmleo Anthony. These guys make every all-star team every year. The Knicks are the team that has a good chance of doing good. This year in the playoffs they got a bad matchup against the Celtics. The Celtics are a good team. So the Knicks got out in the first round. But, there are many good teams out there too.
Some of the good teams for the last decade where out of the playoffs fast. A good team has been the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Heat, Thunder, and Spurs. These are teams that have been good lately and have won many games. These teams record are all above five hundred. The reason they are good is because they have always a least one super-star basketball player but, some have more then one. Some teams that have more than one good player is the Heat, Spurs, Lakers, and Celtics. For the Heat the stars are Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh. This team was created when LeBron left the Cavs. One other good team with many stars are the Celtics. They have Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett. This team has been good forever. Also the Lakers are amazing with Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol. There good because they have a major rebounder and someone who can score a lot of points. Finally the last good team with more than one star player is the Spurs. They have two amazing point guards Manino Ganoblmi and Tony Parker. As well as good point guards they have a hall of fame center Tim Duncan. This is why the goods teams are good they have more than one star player.
The NBA has a lot of good teams and a lot of teams that no one has heard of. Soon all the teams that you hear of you won't hear as much because they lost there good players will be gone. Also all of the bad teams will start to be heard of a lot because they are getting better. That is why the NBA stays interesting. There are the good and there are the bad.
