About Me

My name is Aaron, and I was born in May at Good Shepherd Hospital. I have a sister who is about 6 years older than me with no other siblings.

I like to draw. My favorite pasttime is drawing because the possibilities are endless. Drawing expresses my creativity easily also.

My school year goals are to improve my drawing and academic skills. I also hope to improve on my creativity. Each of these are very important to me.

The Great American Elephant Chase

     Tad and Cissie are running from what seems like two cons in The Great American Elephant chase by Gillian Cross. The catch is, this chase all started because on an elephant.

     Tad, a fifteen-year-old who never does anything right, helps a younger girl, Cissie, cross from Markle, a small town in pennsylvania, to Nebraska, while being chased by villains who claim the elephant to be theirs. The endure many points of almost getting caught., but they manage to escape with enough time to get away.

     “He is my elephant! He’s all I have in the whole wide world,” Cissie said earnestly, explaining her whole reason for running from the villains This was my favorite part because you get to see Cissie’s feelings for Khush, the elephant.

     I would give this book a ten out of ten. You will love this at any age. I believe anyone can enjoy this book as much as I do.

My Brother Sam is Dead

     BANG!  Men are joining the war all over the U.S. in the book My Brother Sam is Dead by James and Christopher Collier.  It doesn’t really affect the town of Redding, Connecticut, though.

     This fiction book takes place in Redding, Connecticut, where the Meeker family live in their tavern.  All was normal until the eldest son, Sam Meeker, decides to join the fight in the Revolutionary War.  Father said, “In wars, the dead pay the debts of the living.” They have paid us well.

     My favorite part is when Father and Tim, the main character, are stopped by some thieves while driving cattle to Verplancks.  I like it because you don’t know what the thieves will do with them.  Will the thieves kill them, or help them on their way?

     I would rate this book a 9 out of 10.  I love this book.  I think anyone who likes action or history would love it as well as I do.

I Can’t Hear You!

        My sense of hearing makes my life better by letting me hear what is going on around me. I can hear people telling me important things that I need to know like knowing all of the laws of my state. I can hear people at the cross-walk telling me to wait until the cars pass and everyone saying what to do at certain times. I can also hear the music I always listen to. I can hear myself talking and playing games online with my friends.

         If my sense of hearing was taken away I would feel miserable because I wouldn’t be able to hear everyone talking to me or hear myself. I wouldn’t even be able to hear my favorite music! I wouldn’t be able to hear anyone warn me when I would be doing something wrong or even hear my best friends say hi to me. Even if I could barely hear it wouldn’t be the same because I would only be able to hear certain things in a quiet space. I wouldn’t be able to hear much at all. All I could really say for people to know would be “I can’t hear you!”

The Journey to Remember

The chilled breeze.
The wind in my hair.
The leaves swishing loudly.
I could hear shouting everywhere.

The warm summers gone.
set aside for the year.
aunt screaming loudly.
There was no sense of fear.

I could hear the shrieking whistles shout.
Foggy mist was in the air.
It was crowded and noise filled.
But no-one seemed to care.

As we tumbled into the train cart.
I had thought about this September.
This trip to New York.
Was the trip to remember.

An Exciting Christmas

“Whoa,”  I shouted , “ this is just what I  wanted!” I could see through the wrapping paper just enough to see what I had gotten for Christmas. There was just enough light glimmering on it to see the shining letters spell the words Kindle.

I was so excited to see what Kindle it was. I was thinking to myself as i opened the box “ Is it a Kindle Fire or a regular Kindle I had gotten. I was ripping through the packaging in a hurry and finally saw the Kindle Fire that i had asked for wrapped in shiny thin plastic.

Once I had gotten the plastic wrapping off of the present i had ran to my room to play games and read books on it that i had thought of while opening the box. I had ran in a hurry to see what i could find on it.

       I had just gotten it so I had hoped that it had been charged before being bought, but it wasn’t so i had to sit right next to a plug while I was updating all of the software on it. It took forever until it finally stopped and let me read my book I had downloaded before then.

       I had finally found the book and began reading.That Christmas I had finally got the Christmas wish I had wanted, and a little bit more.

My Best Friend

she loved me
she loved me like her favorite soft chew toy
nobody can touch the soft layer of  fabric
not even the tiniest bug

my best friend
loved to play games
like catch or play with friends

I know she’ll love me forever
like her delicious treats
and I will forget her never

The Best Week Ever

We were barreling down the biggest water ride in Disney World. We went on almost every ride in the park. My cousins were screaming loudly.It was almost over but I wanted to ride it again.
Later that night, after all of the parks were closed I wanted to swim.So we went to the swimming pool.
The next morning we rod on the Hollywood Tower of Terror! The ride was so scary. The windows even opened and closed by themselves.
Then we took a boat to animal kingdom and rode Expedition Everest.
We went backwards, and went super fast!
We went all over Disney World and had a great time,but we had to leave eventually. I didn’t want to leave, but we had to That’s Okay because I bought tons of souvenirs to bring home with me.
