The Hook

Authors Note: This is my prediction for language arts.

A couple years later Cody still had the gold hook that he melted into a block of gold.  He held the block in his hand and started thinking.  Cody wanted to give Clarence what he wanted.  So he grabbed a hammer and was on his way back to Marshall.  He scavenged through the woods to find where he had buried Clarence.  The gold block was bouncing around in his pocket as he ran through the dark, spooky woods.  He found an area that looked familiar and he realized that he had found where he had buried Clarence.  Cody found the place where the casket was.  He started digging with his bare hands to find the casket.  Then he hit a hard piece of wood covered in dirt.  It was still nailed shut.  He took out all of the nails with a hammer that he had brought along and opened the casket.  There lays the remains of Clarence with his hook not there.  "Ugh! It smells horrible!" Cody shouted in disgust.  He took the block of gold out of his pocket and held it tightly.  Cody took the gold block and laid it next to Clarence.  Then he shut the casket and jumped out of the hole.  He pushed all of the dirt back on top of the casket and he just stood there for a moment.  Cody then turned around and walked through the woods, found his car, and drove off back home.

Why I thought this was going to happen

I thought this was going to happen because Cody thought that something bad would happen to him for taking the hook from Clarences dead body even when he was told that he wanted to be buried with his treasure.

Words To Our Founding Fathers

Patriots Pen

What would I say to Americas founding fathers?  

The founding fathers were important because they signed the declaration of independence and wrote the United States Constitution.  Besides making us an independent nation, they created a standard for Americans to live by.  I think that it is amazing that the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence was written over 300 years ago and we are still using these rules.

I think that the phrase "all men are equal" is an important line because it helped abolish slavery and it is still used today.  If everyone is equal everyone will have the same opportunity for education, jobs, and health care.  Equality also eliminates segregation and discrimination. The other thing I like about the Declaration of Independence is that it was signed on the Fourth of July so that I get to see fireworks every year.  The Declaration of Independence gave us equality, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

The United States Constitution defined these rights in more detail.  Womens suffrage was important because all people, men and women, are equal and deserved to have equal rights.  Women should have the same voting rights or all rights as men.  Another important section from the United States Constitution is freedom of religion.  Freedom of Religion is important because in certain areas you can be killed for your religion.  In the United States you can be any religion that you choose to be and no one can force you to be a religion that they want you to be.

If the founding fathers wouldn't have signed the Declaration of Independence, we wouldn't be able to do half of the things that we are able to do.  Also, since they wrote the United States Constitution they allowed more rules that let us have the world that we have today. So if I met Americas founding fathers I would tell them thank you.
