Max….

I went to the lake

But remembered what you said,

You told me to keep safe,

And I tried, I really did,

I felt proud of myself,

Im sure you would have too,

If only you could see me,

And all the things I had to do,

We were swimming and having fun,

And I didn’t even know it until I was gone,

I jumped out of the boat,

Not realizing it was my last time,

Told my friends to “get in with me”,

“The water seems fine”,

Joe followed me and Kyle was on his way,

Before I knew what had happened,

That was my last day,

I couldn’t see, I couldn’t speak,

I could only feel what had happened,

As the terrible shock went through my body,

I couldn’t feel anything anymore,

I heard screams and cries,

But there was nothing I could do,

So these are my final moments,

And Im sharing them with you,

I wish you could hold me,

Or bring me back to life,

I wish I could tell you goodbye,

Tell you it was ok,

I cannot do any of these,

But there’s one thing I can,

I can tell you to remember me,

Like I will remember you!

Kidnapped By Aliens

“There it is”, Kristina said. “The limo, the limo!” All six girls, Kristina, Kristin, Brittany, Sammy, Jaime and Ashley ran out side to go and see the limo. It was Ashley’s 13th birthday and they were going in a limo to a club, but little did they know what was going to happen. “Everyone go inside and get everything settled and we will meet you at the club”, Ashley’s mom yelled.
“This is going to be so much fun”, they all screamed. Jaime and Kristin were opening sodas for everybody, Sammy and Kristina were fooling around with the radio and Ashley and Brittany were getting the camera ready to take pictures. They opened up the sunroof and took turns looking out into the starry sky. It was about 7:00pm and all of a sudden there were weird noises. “Turn down the radio” Brittany told Sammy”, I hear something strange”. The radio was turned down and a huge flash struck the sky…
“Where are we?” Kristin asked. Everyone was looking around with puzzled looks on their faces and out of no-where there were little aliens flying all around them. They sky was pitch black and all you could see were the little green aliens. Then, everything started floating. “Oh my god”, screamed Ashley. Jaime started looking at the aliens and said” Uh-uh, no they didn’t!” Everyone started laughing and at the same time they all said, “Uh-huh, yea they did!” And then….
The sky turned blue again and they all fell into the middle of the dance floor at the club. The music was going and they all got up and started freak dancing. “Man”, Ashley said, “I think we were kidnapped by aliens!”

Flag Burning Essay

Do you think people should be arrested for burning a flag? That is a question that is unanswered and we need to come up with a resolution to. In the next few paragraphs, I am going to tell you how I feel about the subject and how I feel the situations should be handled.
I think that people shouldn't be arrested for burning the flag, but people shouldn't be irrelevant to the fact either. "Burning" a flag can be at in two ways. Some people think that when you burn a flag you are just burning a piece of material, and other people think that you aren't being patriotic or you don't care about your country. I fell that it is both ways.
If you decide to burn a flag like a man named David Stout, then you would probably be arrested. Stout was arrested for burning a flag at his own will in an alley behind his house. He remained in jail after a court judge lowered his bond from $9,000 to $2,000. In my opinion I don't think that he should have been arrested because he didn't hurt anyone or anything. It would be a different story if he had done so though. The first amendment in the constitution says that burning a flag is symbolic speech. Congress cannot pass a law because they haven't amended the first amendment in order to make an exception to such laws.
In the end, I don't think it is necessary for anyone to burn a flag. If they want to get rid of a flag, then maybe they should just give the flag to someone else. People don't need to be burning flags and even if they don't I don't think that they should be arrested.

Elvis Presley

Who is Elvis and why was he so famous ? Elvis Presley had a big impact in the
"entertainment world" in the 1960's. He set fashion trends all over the world. Elvis had over 110 gold records and starred in over 33 films. He earned gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards which is more than any other of the "greatest" singers.

Elvis was born in Memphis Tennessee on January 8th, 1935 to Gladys and Vernon presley.
When Elvis was 11, he got his first guitar for his birthday. From that point, he was a rock star.
In 1953, Elvis recorded his first single, “That’s when the heartache begins”. He went back to the studio a couple moths later and recorded, “That’s all right mama”, which became a big hit. Elvis recorded songs and appeared on shows up until 1958 when he was enlisted in the army. Two years later, he returned to America and returned to being the “king of rock n’ roll”. When he returned, ABC aired the show “Welcome home, Elvis” with Frank Sinatra and it attracted 41.5 % of the nations television audience.
In 1958, Elvis’s mother, Gladys Presley, was hospitalized with acute hepatitis. Elvis went to
see her on August 11th and 12th and a few hours after he left the hospital, she died. Elvis was
overwhelmed with grief and after that day, he was never the same. During the 1960’s, Elvis had
the busiest decade of his life. Between 1961 and 1968, he starred in 21 movies. Some of these
movies included GI blues, Viva Las Vegas and Speedway. Elvis performed in Hawaii while he
was there performing Hawaii Blues.
Elvis had tons of singles and records that made it to number one on the charts. He won gold
and platinum awards for his 131 albums and singles. Elvis won three of the fourteen Grammy
nominations he was awarded for. Elvis gave nearly 1,100 concerts during the 60’s also. On

accessories. He would appear on TV wearing a plain suit or jacket and pants. In the later
sixties, he would wear tight leather suits and clothes of a more distinct style. His shoes were
always noticeable but the ones that he wore most often were his gaitors, which are a type of
high-heeled boots. Everyone loved Elvis’s hair ! He used tons of hair products to make it stiff
and sculpted it to look “perfect”! Elvis’s good looks attracted many fans but there was also the
love for his music.

Elvis would try his hardest to go out and please his fans on what he was doing. If there was anything wrong with something on one of his albums then he would go out and fix it. People today, all over the world, dress up as him for all different occasions. He is the most acted out person in history to this day. He showed young people that no matter where you’re from or what you do, you can always follow your dreams and that’s is why he is admired so much.
In conclusion, there are many people that loved Elvis for what he did for the country and for his music. He was talented, had good looks, and was full of humor. He is one of the most important people of the 1960's and he is an icon. People today, still look up to what he did and some of them still think that he is alive.......

The Day We Met

The day we met
I had the oddest feeling
I didn't know what it was
So I just brushed it off
After a while I found myself waiting
Waiting for that phone call every day
The one I always got from you
Every night I went to bed happy
Happy that I had talked to you
Every morning I would wakeup
And think of you
The day you asked me out
I was on cloud nine
I couldn't stop thinking of you
The time we spent together
I was always so happy
Then one day
It was gone
Everything
The hand holding
The cuddling
The drives
The times we spent
looking into each other's eyes
The long good- byes
Everything
Just vanished
Everything
except one thing
The one thing that can't be taken from me
That's my love for you
It's here from now
And forever

Friends for life is what we are

Through thick and thin you were my friend

The strength to get up and go again

If my heart was shattered, you’d heal it

If my heart was happy, we’d both rejoice in it

You are my best friend

Its been good

The best friendship ever

Never end, now & Forever
