Ding Dong Ditching Gone Wrong

Authors Note: I wrote about the time me and my friends went ding dong ditching and got caught by the cops. This happened recently so it was a good topic to write about. I believe I did a good job on the dialog. 

On that perfect summer day we had a feeling that it was going to be a grand day. When dusk fell that’s when we were going to strike. Me Alec Jackson and Matt got in all black and we were off. Starting in Steeple Chase we got a decent amount of houses but the real houses were going to be in Deer Haven. As we walked across the street into Deer Haven lights appeared in the distant. We jumped to the side of the rode and dove into the bushes and let the car drive by us.

“Go up and get that house” whispered Jackson. “No it’s Matt’s turn” said Alec. “Fine I’ll get it”. As Matts running up the drive way we positioned ourselves in the trees so we can’t be spotted . Sprinted and almost falling we see matt coming down the driveway and slide into the trees like he would slide into home plate. “Where are you guys”! said the man. “Go home I’m calling the cops”. We waited there until the guy walked back inside and as soon as he did we took off.

“That was a good one” laughed Nick. “Yeah I know right we need to get him more often” said Jackson. “Let’s go get the Cottrell’s” said Alec. As we walked up the hill to Carson’s all of a sudden we hear the cops wring their siren and shine the bright light on us. The cop got out of the car and asked us if we have been ding dong ditching anyone we told the cop the truth and said we did ding dong ditch some people. He asked us to get in the car so he could take us home. As we all piled in the car he was telling us how he used to ding dong ditch too.

As we pulled up to the Kunnert’s driveway he asked us to go get the parent that lives here so Jackson went inside and brought his mom out and the cop told her to not have us go out again tonight. When we got inside everyone had a sigh of relieve to know that we didn’t get in as much trouble as we thought we were going to get in. Today we still go ding dong ditching but now we don’t get the guy that calls the cops.

My Favorite Sport

Author’s Note:  I wrote about sports because my favorite activity is basketball

My favorite sport is basketball. Basketball is a great sport because it gives you a lot of exercise. Basketball gives you agility, speed, and hand-eye coordination.  One day I hope to be drafted to the NBA. My favorite player in the NBA is Kevin Durant. He plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder and plays the forward position. He is 6 foot 9 and went to Texas University. Before he played for the Thunder he played the the Seattle Sonics. When I go to my friends we play basketball and have one on one tournaments. I hope I can always be part of basketball my whole life.

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.
