I am the most colorful leaf out of all my siblings. We live together on our mama's branches. It is fall and we are old enough now to be on our own. So as the season arrives we fall away. I want to take a long ride in the wind, but it takes time. I had to wait for a very strong wind. Now I'm some of the few leaves. However the wind came over and off I go. It was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Part of my stem started to break off and I blown with the wind away. It was the first time in my life that I flew; and I always want to fly. As I flew of from my usual place my heart swirled and leap with joy. I past all the other leaves that had fallen and went farther and farther until everything and I was out of sight from everything. First I drifted slowly down... Then when I touch the street I didn't crash or slide as everyone did at home. Instead I cartwheeled, summer salted, and skipped. It was the fasted situation I'd ever been into. However the quick movement didn't last long, as soon as it slowed me down I slide and crashed like everyone else in my neighborhood. After the exiting moment ended I lay in the street, alone for days. I became board because it was like the best part of my life had come to an end. All day long cars run back and forth so I only picked up little breeze from them. All the time I hoped it never rains an or get too hot, because I've heard that if you're on your own if it gets too hot we leaves dries up and if it rains on us we rot. So I think I should have thought of this before I took off. Anyways if I didn't mama would have slept during the winter and I also wouldn't survive. After a few more days more leaves flew to where I am and we became friends. We each told each other our stories. As I watch some of the leaves they landed in many ways. Some are better than me and some aren't. But I was most amazed with the ones that even past me. Even though we leaf life a short life we were happy with it.
My parents didn't vote because they are still trying to become citizens. Anyways they may be able to vote the next four years. However if they vote I think they will probably vote for Obama. My dad likes the way Obama fairly treats the people and deals with the economy. My mom also agrees with my dad for mostly the same reason, so maybe it is a good choice. Also, Obama was voted again in the presidential election.
With him winning again, the people must like him better than others. I am too young to vote, but if I had a chance I'll vote for Obama too. I thought of voting for Obama because my parents were voting for him and I do not know anything about the other competitors. Besides, the people haven't have any problems with him yet. Still my family and I don't think there is anything wrong with the other competitors. Once upon a time, there lived a stubborn and clumsy man named Thomas. He believed in anything he thought was true in his opinion. He had no children or grandchildren, and lived alone in the countryside. Since he believed in ghost, Thomas thought that he should be aware of what he says. He thought all treasure chest came from a captain pirate so to be similar he honored the treasure chest and never opened it, so he doesn't know what's in there. Thomas liked to live in the village because he was a quiet man when he's calm and happy. One day a stranger walked into his porch and Thomas came out of the house to greet him. The stranger politely greet him back and they talk about each others lives. Then the stranger peeked inside the house and saw the treasure chest. He thought of all the gold and expensive supplies that's in the treasure chest he could steal. So the stranger tricked the man that if he was at the end rainbow, he will have plenty of gold to use for the rest of his life. Being so happy with the advise, the man thought it was true.
Thomas waited until spring, the rainy season and he looked outside when the sun shine after the rain and saw a rainbow. He quickly rushed out the door and chased after the rainbow. However the closer he gets the farther it is away. After a long chase Thomas grew tired and went back to his house and thought the rainbow was too fast and far from him so he packed up lots of food and supplies. The next day he woke up very early and wait for the rainbow. When it appeared Thomas chased after the rainbow and when he got near enough to the rainbow and looked up he realized he had past it. Thomas ran back and forth until he was extremely exhausted and planned to chased the rainbow. While at his home the stranger had went inside his house and was about to open the treasure chest. But as he got close the treasure chest opened and a see through ghost pirate jump out and the ghost exposed the stranger away. The next day Thomas went on with chasing the rainbow and after many months of chasing he had not aware of his surroundings Thomas was lost for his stubborn and clumsy attitude. Now he did not care for the gold and money from the rainbow anymore. He thought of his life before becoming a stubborn man and sadly lived in the wilderness independently. | Amanda V.This is my ''Friday Free-Write'' page and most of the things in here are free writings or my own topics.
