Dear Susan Davis,
My name is August McKenzie and I am writing to make a case for renewable energy. I attend the 6th grade at High Teck Middle Media Arts. There we are learning about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. We understand the importance for the world to start to move into using renewable energy. We need to start using renewable energy soon so that we can live in a healthy environment.

I would like to thank you for supporting the Safe Climate Act and the Clean Energy Act. I would like to thank you for supporting wind and solar energy. These have all helped our world a lot. You have made it aware for others that we do need to make a change. I am also writing this letter to you to give you more ideas in how we can make this world a better place.

One of the ways we can help the future of our planet is by informing the future generation about global warming. I feel that a lot of kids know very little about global warming and its affects. Since kids are the future of our planet we need to make sure that they will be aware of global warming when they get older. Adults have a hard time changing to renewable energy because they were not grown up with renewable energy. To make this happen we need this to be taught in school. So just like you have to teach math in school they should make it so that you need to teach about global warming.

One more way we can help global warming is to use more types of renewable energy. Right now most of our renewable energy sources aren’t that efficient and don’t create that much power. So instead of just trying to upgrade wind and solar you could work with all the different energy sources so that there won’t have to be such a huge upgrade to just one energy source.

Thanks for reading my letter and I hope this will help on your battle for renewable energy.

Sincerely,
August

Dear Susan Davis,

My name is August McKenzie and I am writing to make a case for renewable energy. I attend the 6th grade at High Teck Middle Media Arts. There we are learning about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. We understand the importance for the world to start to move into using renewable energy. We need to start using renewable energy soon so that we can live in a healthy environment.

Since kids are the future of our planet we need to make sure that they will be aware of global warming when they get older. Adults have a hard time changing to renewable energy because they where not grown up with renewable energy. But if kids are grown up around renewable energy they will be used to using renewable energy and they will have a lot of knowledge about global warming so they will know how to minimize the amount of pollution that they will put into the air. To make this happen we need this to be taught in school. So just like you have to teach math in school they should make it so that you need to teach about global warming.

One more way we can help global warming is to use more types of renewable energy. Rite now most of our renewable energy sources aren’t that efficient and don’t create that much power. So instead of just trying to upgrade wind and solar you could work with all the different energy sources so that there won’t have to be such a huge upgrade to just one energy source. Instead there could be upgrades in all the different energy sources so we will create more energy.


Thanks for reading my letter and I hope this will help on your battle for renewable energy.

Feeling like a "Freak"

One of the first times I felt like a “freak” was in 5th grade when I fell on my face and broke my two front teeth. The falling part wasn’t the bad part. It was after the fall when I had huge marks all over my face from the fall. Everyone would look at me and giggle or point and say something two there friends. I felt like an alien from some other world because of the way they would look at me. But my friends wouldn’t say anything so that helped me out. I finally got my two front teeth fixed and my scraps went away after a while. No one really talked about it after that. You can’t even tell that I broke my two front teeth. I really never had treated anyone like a “freak” before but my friend in first grade got a huge red thing on his lip. I am not sure what it was called but it wasn’t the prettiest thing to look at. Other kids would stay away from him and treat him like a “freak”. It was hard to stand up for him because everyone would make fun of you but I still told them that it was nothing to be worried about and to stop treating him differently. It worked but it took a while.

Freak the Mighty

I think that Freak and Mighty will become friends later on in the story and help each other with problems that they have. I think that they will find a lot in comen and start to become good frinds.

The Land of the Dead (part #1)

Life is hard when you live with the Nathens. If you don’t know what the Nathens are then I will tell you. They are a big tribe located in the forest of Trible. It is one of the first tribes ever to be formed in the forest of Trible. The Nathens will kick out any week people from the tribe and they will only keep the strong and healthy people. Odds where against me when I was born. I was never born to be a great warrior. But my father (the chief of the tribe) would not let that stop him from trying to make me like the best worrier or something like that. He wanted me to be a great tribe leader when he died. I trained hard every day and got stronger and stronger and stronger. I also learned how to use magic, bows and arrows, spears, and swords. I was really good at magic and with bows and arrows. My dad was happy with how I was doing but he wish that I could be a little better at sword fighting and using the spear. But he was still pretty happy with me. But of course there was someone or something that had to get in the way of me doing really good. And this time it was my mom. She always hated me from the time I was born. She hated me for everything I did. My mom was a tall and muscular woman with light colored skin and light brown hair. She had dark evil eyes that really scared me. My dad had those same eyes and overall looked a lot like my mom. My dad was a lot wider though and had a beard but he still had that long hair. I asked my dad one day why my mom hates me so much and he just said that it was because my mom wanted a girl to lead the tribe and not a boy. But after he said that, I new that there was more than that to why she hated me so much. My dad just did not want to tell me or he did not now.
One day I was out fishing when I saw a shadow of a person sneaking around the trees. I got up and started to follow that person. For a second I thought it was my dad but then I saw my moms little gold hair piece that my mom would always where. I kept following her eagerly to see what she was up to so far away from the tribe. This was the first time that I was ever this far away from home. Legend said that at the end of the forest there was a place called the land of the dead. Legend also said that only demons could pass through the magic walls to the land of the dead and that only humans could pass through the magic walls to come back into the world of the living. My mom kept walking farther and farther into the forest. Then I saw it. The symbol of the dead, which is the door to the land of the dead. My mom took off her hair piece and put it in a small hiding place on a tree. She then took out a crystal from her pocket and held it up in front of her. Black sparks started shooting out from the crystal. Then one of the sparks hit my mom’s hand. She dropped the crystal with pain. Where the spark hit her was now a black mark. It then started to spread around her body turning her skin black. Her feet started to turn into talons and her hands turned into claws. She started to grow big spines on her back and huge red and black wings on her back. Then her head started to turn into a demons head with big red eyes and two big horns on her head. When she was fully evolved she opened her mouth and roared so loud so that birds came flying from the places in the trees. The demon then put her hands in two slots in the symbol which looked like claws. The symbol split in two and started to open and revile the land of the dead. She took off into the air and soared through the sky over the land of the dead. The doors slowly shut and I was able to see the last glimpse of what was my mom before the doors shut.

The Big Field

The book that i am reading is called, The Big Field. It is about this one 14 year old kid. He is playing in All-Stars and his team is about half way through the turnament. I picked this book because it is about baseball which I love and also i read an other book called Heat which was by the same auther. The last chapt ther was about one of his games which they won. after that it talked about his dad and how he was a baseball player when he was young.
