12. THE OCEAN by: Eric Simon The water in the ocean is cold but nice and sand is ticking your feet. I see the fresh smooth sky above and the seagulls diving and landing for fish and crabs. I taste the salty water in the deep sea and the fresh air above. I smell the salty air and water. I hear the seagulls talking , the waves crashing, and the dolphins splashing.

14. Don’t Kill the Ant By Eric Simon Why would you kill an ant? Just let him pass. He should not die. What did the ant do to you? He steals because he has too, to live. Also, he’s innocent and just runs around. ZOOM! He’s faster than lighting. He has a job so just let him be! He won’t hurt you. Next, if he was you, and you were him, would you want him to squash you? How would you feel? Would you want to have a short life? Would you want to die? Just because someone says to kill the ant, you don’t have to. That would be mean. Just let him go. He will only walk away. I think the ant should not die. His family will be sad. His dad would cry. His mom would look for him. His friends, brothers, and sisters would be bored.

15. The Beach TripBy Eric Simon I went to the beach with Mary, my grandparents, Jennifer, my mom and dad, Austin, Laruen. It was FANTASIC!!!!!! We had so much fun there at the beach. I got a HUGE shovel for just about three dollars. It was as big as a car!!!!! We stayed in a hotel close to the mini water park there. I went down to the beach with my mom, Jennifer, Mary, and our cousins Laruen and Austin. Everyone except my mom went to play in the sand. We dug a giant pit in the sand. It was as big as a well!!!! Next a bunch of water went into it so it was like a baby pool. Then we build a wall around it to protect it. After that Austin and I crashed into the waves so they won’t hit the pit. When we were doing that the girls were building so it will be bigger. It was a great time! I’m going back soon stay tuned!

16. The Bionic BunnyBy Eric Simon One day I was walking in the park when a laser hit me by surprise. I turned into a bunny and I saw a giant monster and it breathed fire. It threw a boulder and I dodged it and I shot a laser at it blew it up. I WON! Later I turned back to a human and no one knows what happened. This story is true!

17. The Kickball GameBy Eric Simon It was February 17, 2011 at P.E. outside. That’s where it all fell down. The awesome Red Team VS. The cool Blue Team. The Red Team was up first. Liam kicked the ball to the moon. Ooooh. Aaaah. Then I hesitated but flickered a sweet single. Next, When the Blue Team was up, Olivia kicked the ball so high people thought it was a star. After that, Jackson slammed the ball with his foot, it was faster than lighting. Ten minutes into the game, Red Team up. 3, 2, 1, ‘Go Falcons!’ Screamed the Red Team While Kai hit the ball so high, you could sing Sweet Home Alabama before it hit the ground. Afterward Liam, Mary, Ashlyn, and I all kicked a double streak with no outs! Then Coach Jones said we were running out of time so he let the Blue Team kick. Jackson kicked a HOME RUN! It was over the Blue Team had won. That was the Kickball Game!

18. A Bad Case of StripesBy Eric Simon A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon is fantasy and fiction book. It’s as weird as a dog with 21 legs! Some of the characters are Camilla, news reporters, doctors, her mom and dad, and a witch. The super summery of this book is Camilla got the bad case of stripes. It keeps getting worse then a witch gave her peas and she turned back to herself. I relate to this book because Camilla had stripes and I have a striped shirt. Star Wars relates to this book because it is a fiction and fantasy book. This book relates to the world because she has colors and the world has colors. I’m different from this character because I’m a boy and she a girl. I’m like this character because I like peas and she does too. If I could be anyone in this story I would be a doctor to see her changing colors.

19. The Pain and the Great OneBy Eric Simon The Pain and the Great One by Judy Blume is a fiction book. The main characters are The Great One and The Pain. The setting is just a house. The Pain and Great One both tell how the other one is bad. Next they tell how they’re innocent. Then they say that they’re best and are better than the other one. After that they say their parents like the other one more. I relate to this book because I have a younger sister and The Great One has a younger brother. The world relates to this book because they live in a house and there are houses in the world. Jack and Jill relate to this book because there is a boy and girl in that story and in this story. I’m different from The Great One because I have someone older than me and she doesn’t. I’m as mean as a tiger just like the boy because I would smash the block castle. I’m like the girl because I can swim and dive and she can too. I’m like the girl again because I would want to stay up longer than my sibling.

20. My HeroBy Eric Simon My mom is thoughtful because she cooks, clean, and pays for my stuff. Next she drives me places and then gives me shelter. I wonder why she doesn’t take a break and let my dad cook. Pleasing describes my mom because she buys me ice cream almost every other day. Plus she buys me food, toys, important stuff, and more. After that she makes me happy. That’s my mom.
