Halloween Adventure
Authors Note: This is a personal narrative about what my friend, Austin and I did on Halloween and all the fun we had.
On Halloween night, my friend, Austin and I went to my uncle's house in Waukesha. When we arrived I leaped out of my moms gold, oval, and shiny van. So we took off slowly down my uncle's street, ten we blasted off down the next street. This was a very good street because people would leave buckets with the sign, please take one. I should have taken one but I dumped half of the bucket and passed the rest to Austin. We were cleaning up a lot of streets. The bad news was when we had too much candy, and were hungry, tired, and thirsty. I'd forgotten my phone and Austin didn't have one. So we traveled back to ancient times and asked for directions. This kind lady had told us how far we were from my uncle's house. Just as I thought it couldn't get worse we were running away from this who wanted his candy back. We had just gotten a block away from my uncle's house , I could feel my legs pumping blood so bad that they almost exploded.
We got back and went inside. My uncle told us that we just missed my mom, she had just went looking for us . He tossed me his phone and told me to call her. She had been on the other side of the city so it would be a while before she got back. When we arrived she told us that we were going to Bubba's. Austin began to jump with a great big cheer. As we were on our way to Bubba's, Austin and I started to scavege through our bags, I had found a plastic gun that broke in a minute.The bad news at the time was that I was allergic to peanuts and strawberries. So I was a good friend and gave Austin the candy I couldn't have. So we arrived. I had ordered the Bubbaburger which was bacon, cheddar cheese sauce, and fried onions on it. When it was brought to the table I attached it with some power from my teeth. Halfway through the fight I had waved the white flag and given up. Luckily everyone else had finished. so lastly, we took Austin home, this was a fun, exciting, and hungry experience. I hope we do this next Halloween.

My Gun And I
Author's Note: This is about the first time i had used my gun and the first war that I had with my family and friends.
The 24 hours of waiting was finished. My air soft gun battery is
finally charged. Now I was ready to shoot my brand new
60th anniversary Kalashnikov AK-47. It has 385 fps with 0.20g
bb's. Fps means feet per second and 0.20g bb's means what size the bb's are and
how much weight it has. Then I took off the top part to put the battery in.
Then I loaded up my clip and was ready to go. I turned it on semi auto which
means every time you pull the trigger it only shoots one bb. I hit the can's
but couldn't see a dent or a mark on the can. So I turned the it up to full
auto. Which means when you pull the trigger bb's will be shoot out until you
let go of the trigger. Then one can was lit to little pieces, while the other
ones had a dent or multiple bb's holes. I love everything about it the fire
rate the handling and especially the grip
Then my friends, Blaze and Alex came over their guns for a war. It
was Blaze and I vs. Alex and my cousin Brandon. Blaze and I took the front
while Alex and Brandon took the back. I was being a sniper to cover Blaze so
that he could get to point blank range. Little did I know that Brandon climbed
a tree and came up from behind me and shot me the exact same time Blaze
eliminated Alex. Then Blaze was hiding under a vehicle until Brandon shot at
him and missed. Then Brandon chased Blaze down and got him so the we lost. Its
was my first war, I didn't do the best but I got the hang of it. Now when I air
soft I'm on Brandon's team because he's excellent at airsofting. I will never
forget my first war and the first time I shot my air soft gun.

Packer's Cause and Effect
Authors Note: This is a cause and affect piece of what had happened in the odd 2010 season.
In 2010 the Green Bay Packers had started the year with high expectations. As the season went on the Packers had 15 players on injured reserve. The cause had half of the team kissed playoffs goodbye. You could see it in the games how they couldn't bet up on easy teams. They would be able to out play some of the leagues best teams.

The hard work kept the Packers in playoff hopes. They got a wild card game against the Eagles. They won on a last minute interception. The they beat the Falcons bloody. Then it was a rivalry game to go to the super bowl. They won again on a last second interception by Sam Shields. Then cause of the starters getting injured allowed the backups step up and still win the super bowl.
