Place in the World

Picture from here

                                               If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go? I would love to go to Greece or Italy to see all the beautiful sights and see the beautiful landscape of the hills. In Italia I would visit the Collusion and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In Greece all I would do is walk around taking pictures of the beautiful landscape and try to learn to speak Greek. Maybe I would sit down in a restaurant and read one of Aesop's fables, he was one of the great Greek writers. In conclusion, I would love to go to Greece or Italy when I grow up.

Being Unique

Picture from here
If the US believes everyone should be special and Europe believes that being ordinary is OK for everyone, I agree with the US  because if everyone is was ordinary and not special, that would be boring. The US mean that everyone should have their own opinions or wear what they feel, not be the same as everyone else in the country. Europe feels that everyone should be ordinary, not different by a lot, but most of the time be kinda, sort of like everyone else. Just imagine everyone in your school or in the country agreeing on one thing, like who the president should be. If we all agreed on one thing or around the same agreement, then we should all be one person. That is how I think Europe feels, but the US think we should all be unique in our own why and not copy anyone. That we can be free of who we are.

The truth about boys and girls

Picture from here

Remember when you were younger and boys and girls always had to do everything different. Well, now in middle school we still think some boys and girls can not do what other people can do. Like girl can't play sports or video games as well as boys. Also that boys aren't as smart as girls. Well, in my opinion boys and girls can be just as equal. Girls can beat a boys high score in a video game or win a champion ship in a sport. Some boys can beat a girl in a spelling bee or even get an As in all classes. Boys can do many things girls do and girls can do many things that boys do.

The Seven Doors

If I came upon seven identical doors and a voice from above told me:
Picture from here
" These seven doors lead to seven different places... Neverland, Wonderland, Narnia, Hogwarts, Westeros, Camelot, and Middle Earth", I would probably pick Wonderland. I would pick Wonderland because of the amazing adventure in Wonderland. I would love meeting the Chesire Cat and the Mad Hatter too. The other place I would pick to go though would be to Neverland because I would never want to grow up and stay the way I am now. I'm just saying this, I couldn't pick between Neverland or Wonderland because I'd love to go to both!

Memory Jar

Picture from here
If I could bottle up ONE memory, I couldn't pick, I would bottle up so many thing I would have one million bottles. If I could I would bottle up every Saturday morning my uncle came up stairs and told me good morning, all into on big bottle. I would also bottle up last weekend when I went over to my best friend Carolyn's house to spend the night. I would also bottle up my 3rd and 7th grade years too. In conclusion, I could never pick just one memory, I pick a lot.

A Big Change


Picture from here
Over those 8 years a big change happened, IPhones and IPads were invented. People used to just listen and remember what others said, but now people can record the speeches on their IPad and IPhone. Or maybe they could just go onto YouTube and search the concert or speech.  I think this is a bad change because people could just go onto the internet and search the big event instead of going to the big event themselves.

My Business Letter

Mrs. Debolt

Mrs. Debolt:

My name is Maddie Westmoreland and I like to travel around the country. I've been to many states, but one day i hope to go to Greece or Italy with my sister. We've gone to Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, etc. I've always loved music. If there was no such thing as music, I would probably die.

For my job, I'd love to be an orthodontist. I decide i wanted to be an orthodontist when I had my braces put on because my orthodontist inspired me. My a few other jobs i want to be are a zoologist or a sign language teacher. I would love to help out with animals or teacher the blind to talk with their hands. I would love to have one of these jobs, and a few more too.

I love computers, I use one everyday. When I was younger my dad taught me a lot about computers. He showed me how to restart the computer by pressing  control, alt, delete. Actually, I find out something new about my computer almost everyday. My mom also showed me how to jump from page to page by pressing a few keys. In conclusion to this paragraph, I love computers and know a lot about them.  
                                                                   
Sincerely,
Maddie Westmoreland
