What Avenger I Am

Author’s Note: I wrote about the Avengers because I like the movie

If I could be any Avenger super hero I would choose to be Hawk Eye. I think that the assassins are the best because they are secret and sneaky so they do not get in many fights. His main weapon is the bow and arrow. I think that is really cool because I love to hunt and use a bow. My best fit of an Avenger would be Hawk Eye.

The Magical Three Wishes

 Author's Note: In my short story I wrote about if I had three wishes and why I would choose them.

Imagine you get three wishes and you can wish for anything. What would you wish for? First I would wish that i was the richest person in the world so I could take care of my family, friends, and strangers that need help. Then I would want to be able to end all sickness because so many people in this world have died from a form of sickness. My last wish would be that I could own the NBA and the MLB because basketball and baseball are my favorite sports and enjoy to watch those two sports.

My Ultimate Dream Vacation

 Author's Note: I wrote about my ultimate vacation because I really like to go on vacations and I wanted to tell you what my dream vacation is.

If I could go anywhere I wanted to for my dream vacation I would go to the Bahamas or somewhere in the Caribbean. In the Caribbean it is very hot and tropical. I would not want to go somewhere where it is cold because i love the warmth. In the Bahamas there is so much stuff to do such as tanning, swimming, and snorkeling. That’s just a couple of activities you can do in the Bahamas. After the Bahamas I would want to go to Italy because my great great grandpa lived there and other people I am reated to live in Italy. When I'm in Italy I would go see the Colosseum because I like to learn about the history about that amazing building. Also I would go to the island of Cicily and go swimming on the beach.
