Car Raid

Mrs. Wheeler’s Tico is not exactly her dream car. Well, I do not think that it is anyone’s dream car. It only cost three hundred fifty dollars. The car has a lot of problems. For some reason, she doesn’t want to get some things fixed. She talked about how it does not turn off. Another problem is that it is rusty. It was so sharp that someone actually got hurt. It was also missing some parts. There are even things sticking out of the car. There was, as a matter of a fact, some things she likes about her car.

Her dream car is actually a beetle. She is saving money for a new car. She said that three times it has happened to her that it would not turn off. It is actually weird because most cars have problems turning on. It still works even without the key. What she did was she roamed around. After roaming around, she tried to turn it off again. It worked. She said that she is always scared that it might be in a car accident. She is especially scared when her daughter drives it. Who could blame her? It is so tiny.

The other problems are the rusts and the dents in the car. There was actually tape on it at first. When she took it off, it got worse. She is not exactly planning to get the dents fixed. I am not so sure why. The air-con doesn’t work, so she leaves the windows open which is not so difficult since the windows are stuck. It can not close nor can it open. When Liezel asked her if she ever gets worried that someone might steal something from it, she answered the question by saying, “No one would even go near it.” Just for your curiosity, she does clean it.

The last problems are that there are some things sticking out and some things are missing. I am not exactly sure what is sticking out of her car, but it looked like pieces of a torn rice sack. Her car also has empty cans and all her work-out things in it. Something from the stick was missing, so she added a cloth. When someone asked her what the cardboard boxes are for, she said that it was for oil leakages. She tried making it more presentable by putting air-fresheners in it, but it did not make any difference.

So far, I talked about the problems she had about her car. I mentioned what doesn’t work well, the rust and dents, the things sticking out, and the things missing. These are all the problems. Is there actually something she likes about her car? She loves that she doesn’t have to walk anymore. I guess there is something good you can find in everything, even the worst things.

The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is about a young woman named Hester Prynne. It begins in seventeenth-century Boston, then a Puritan settlement. The book is called The Scarlet Letter because she has a scarlet “A” pinned on her chest. She is forced to wear this because she committed adultery. The majority of Hawthorne’s work takes America’s Puritan past as its subject, but The Scarlet Letter uses the material to greatest effect. The Puritans were a group of religious reformers who arrived in Massachusetts in the 1630s. The religious Puritans were known for their intolerance of dissenting ideas and lifestyles. Hawthorne uses the Puritan society as an analogue for humankind in general. The Puritan setting also enables him to portray the human soul under extreme -pressures. Hester, Dimmesdale, and Chillingworth, also reflect universal experiences. One thing I learned in the Scarlet Letter is that revenge will not help you.

Autobiography

I was born on July 29, 1994, in Saipan. I still live in Saipan. I go to school at
MBA (Marianas Baptist Academy). I live with my mom, my dad, and my sister. All my other relatives are either in the Philippines or in America. For me, the hardest person to live with is my sister, Deirdre. She really gets on my nerves, but I love that little weirdo. School is pretty hard. I hate peer pressure.

My name is Chiantee Rosete. I started School when I was two and a half yrs. old
at Calvary Chapel Preschool in Orange County, California. I left and came here in Saipan when I was four yrs. old. I studied at Joshua Generation International Academy until I was in the fifth grade (ten yrs. old). I got an award for best in Language Arts and so much more. I also received many awards from the P.G.F.C. and the M.S.F.L. I am in the seventh grade at MBA. I hope to finish college in any university esp. Harvard.

Life to me means enjoying it and being with people you love the most. Well, I’m happy most of the time, if not, I am probably depressed. Whenever I am in school I always tell myself, “You can do this. This is for your future. It’s only seven hours and fifteen minutes; you will be out of here in no time. DO NOT FALL ASLEEP!” Luckily, I have many friends who brighten up my day. I am not involved with anyone at this point. I like hanging out with my friends in the movies or the street market every Thursday.

In the year 2017, depending on what course I took in college, I would be finished
with my studies. I really would want to open a business. I guess a coffee shop to start out small. Then maybe expand it till I have enough money to open a resort. At this time, I would at least want to visit Paris, France.

Like what I said, my friends keep from the boredom of life ( school to be exact), so I hope that we remain friends forever. I also hope that they, together with my family, go with me to explore the world, or at least Europe.

A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is a story of sadness, surprises, and romance. The story takes place in France during the Industrial Revolution. Its main characters are Madame Defarge (the sister of a woman raped and a man stabbed; both were done by one of the Evremonde brothers), Charles Darnay, Lucie Manette (a woman in search for her father she thought was dead), and Sydney Carton. Charles and Sydney are both fighting for the love of Lucie. Charles is actually related to the cruel Marquis Evremonde who gets murdered later in the story. When Charles and Lucie got married, Sydney asked him for his friendship. Darnay was charged for being an emigrant and was imprisoned. He was set free but later became imprisoned again. He is sentenced to be beheaded within twenty-four hours. Carton took the place of Darnay in prison and waited for his death. Darnay, Lucie, her father, and their children ran away from Paris. Madame Defarge tries to kill Lucie for vengeance against Darnay, but she was the one killed. Sydney was beheaded knowing that Lucie will be happy with Darnay.

The Lonely Puppy

There was once a puppy named Prince. He was proud (when I say proud I mean bad proud, in other words, a show off). He was also selfish and self-centered. He thought that he was the smartest, cutest, cuddliest puppy in the world. He even said he was better than his parents. Hardly anyone liked him, but that is not what he thinks. He finds it impossible for anyone to hate him.

One day he went to the park. He saw that the other puppies were playing with each other; so he asked if he could play. One puppy said, “Why don’t you just leave us alone since you think you are the best. You don’t belong here.”

“Well, it is not my fault that I’m better than all of you, considering you all have filthy low-lives,” said Prince.

The other puppies were shocked and started barking at him. He got so scared that he left them alone. He could not believe they actually hated him.

Then, a puppy approached him and said that he would play with him. He looked at the puppy and was disgusted because the puppy was dirty. Prince said that he would never play with anyone like him. So, the puppy backed away.

After twenty minutes, he saw that the dirty puppy he shooed away was playing with the other puppies. When he saw what was happening, he realized that it wasn’t how good you looked on the outside that was important; it was how good you are on the inside. He also realized that he is not better than anyone because everyone is created equally.

From that day on, he changed. He never looked or treated anyone differently. He also did not think of himself as the best, and everyone started to like him.

A Mom, a Son, and an Eye

There once lived a fourteen year old boy named Jake. He was neither rich nor happy. His father and mother were separated. They were always fighting about money; his mom was also insecure and had low-self esteem. Jake blamed his mom for ruining his life. So he could not stand being in her custody. She is always asking him for forgiveness.

Life in high-school was not easy for him. Many people teased him about his family background, but this was not the hardest part for him. He was jealous to see other kids with fathers/ complete families.

Jake woke up on one bright day. It was his birthday, and he was hoping that his father would visit him. What he was hoping for did not exactly come true. His father was going to visit him and was thinking of forgiving Jake’s mom. Suddenly, a truck crashed his car.

Jake knew that there is no way he could forgive his mother. So he ran away. He lived with one of his friends. He even dropped out of school.

The next day, as he was driving along, he crashed his car. He was immediately brought to the hospital. He lived, but he would be blind for the rest of his life if he does not find a donor to give him an eye.

He went back to the hospital two weeks later. The doctor said he found a donor. So they had the surgery. He opened his eyes. He could see! The surgery was successful.

After two years, his mother died. Jake shed no tears. He went to the funeral, but he did not regret running away. He looked inside the coffin and was shocked to find out that his mother only had one eye.

The Chronicles of Narnia

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe," is a great book. It was full of adventures and excitement. If you enjoyed the movie, then you'll love the book. It contains information that wasn't shown in the movie. So if I were you, I'd enter the magical world of the Narnia book.

The Strange Detective

The strange detective walked into the big, empty room. He looked around. His hair covered part of his face. The room was dark and it was hard to see. The detective walked over to the window and looked out. His steps made a noise on the bare floor. The guy turned. Was there somebody else in the room? Suddenly, his heart was beating fast. He saw nothing but the furniture. A truck could not stop him now.

The Great Flood

The flood began when people on earth committed too many sins. God saw this and he didn’t like what he saw. He decided to destroy every man and every beast on the face of the earth. Then the Lord decided that Noah shall be warned for he found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Noah built an ark. The ark was made of gopher wood. It was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits broad and 30 cubits high. The ark was finally finished after 120 years. I am so lucky to be part of his family. We had to stay in the ark for 7 days before the flood. God shut the door when we were all inside the ark. It rained for forty days and forty nights. Inside the ark, there were clean animals by sevens and unclean animals by twos. For one hundred and ten days, the ark rested on Mt. Ararat. After 40 days, my father sent out a raven. Seven days more and my father sent out a dove; it returned. He sent out another dove. The dove came back with an olive leaf on its mouth. The last dove my father sent out did not come back. Finally, after 57 days, we went out of the ark. We saw a rainbow. It symbolizes God’s promise of never destroying the earth with water.
