Boxes of Sand



When I was a kid, I would love to come home from school every day and to get out of the boring building. I would come home, eat a snack, and then go outside. I always loved when I could go outside because that meant I could play in my homemade sand box. I loved playing in my sandbox. My sandbox had a lot of toys and the best thing about it was that my sandbox had a built-in crane. I would always lift up all of the sand with the crane and bury the toys. Then I would search for the toys in the sand and bash the toys together and I would break a lot of them. The toys were really fun to play with but I liked my sandbox but I like my sandbox for other things as well.

I really like playing in my sandbox and mostly in the summer. I liked the sandbox in the summer because all of the sand was really warm. I could bury myself in the sand and it would make you feel so good. It felt like being in a hot tub but it was a sand box. It was one of the greatest feelings that I have ever felt. I would still play with the toys but the sand being warm was the best part.

I guess there were three things that I did not like about the sandbox. One was that the sand would get into your pants and it would not come out no matter how many times you shook the pants out. The sand was very irritating and I would have to go inside if too much sand found its way into my pants. I had to be careful that the sand would not end up in my pants. The only other things that I did not like about my sandbox were when it was raining outside and when the weather was cool. When it was rainy, the sandbox would flood and when the weather was cool, the sand was cool and it was not fun to play with. After it rained, the rain would make the sand clump into a ball and it wasn’t fun anymore. I didn’t like it when the weather was cold either because it makes your body cold. I don’t know if it makes me weird, but I like warm over cold.

The Big Fish

There were many strange things going on one day in my life.

I woke up that day and went up the stairs to find 4 animals running all over my house. They had chewed up the furniture, ate all of our food, and broke many things. I walked into the kitchen and my wife was screaming for everyone to clean up. She was going to make breakfast but soon she realized that the animals had devoured all of the food. She told me to get rid of the creatures so I did. Every time I did get rid of them, they came back. It seemed like I could not get rid of them. My wife and I had to get to work so we took the animals and put them into a building that would tame the creatures.

After I finally left my house, I went to my work. I was working fine and then my phone had rang. The tamer I had left the creatures with was calling to say that the animals were too vicious and that they were getting in too much trouble. I had to leave work and go get the animals even though I did not want to see them at the time. I walked into the calming clinic and everything was tore up. The furniture was all scratch and there was food everywhere. I took the animals and I let them outside again because I did not want to deal with them but I had too. After work, I walked into my house to be surprised by the 4 animals inside my house and they had eaten all of my food again. I had to get rid of them but wherever I put them, they would find a way to get back into the house.

My house was practically ruined by these creatures. I decided that they could live with us. Every time they did not listen, I would punish them. Eventually, the animals had learned their lesson and were behaving more. I realized how to deal with the evil animals and they seemed to not be so bad after all. They turned out to be very responsible and they weren't ruining our house anymore.

China Renews Opposition to Iran Sanctions


China is hurting themselves by not going into sanctions with Iran.

With China opposing Iran sanctions, Iran will not act. Right now, China thinks that Iran is harmless and is using the enrichment plants for “A peaceful use of nuclear energy,” according to China’s foreign minister Yang Jiechi. But Iran was caught with underground uranium plants out of nowhere. To make matter worse, Iran had just announced that they have make nuclear weapons. Now Iran’s enemies are in trouble (Israel for example). If Iran does harm a country, other countries will be angry at China for not acting with Iran and China would have some consequences. But if China does help, Iran could have their nuclear plants shutdown.

China could also support the Iran sanctions and doing that would help China and the world out. China is allies with Iran so if China supports the sanctions, they would get Iran to act and to realize how much controversy that they are causing in the world. Iran would get their nuclear power enriched by the U.S. and Russia. The U.N. could shut down the underground plants and Iran’s nuclear weapons would be gone.

Some people might think that China should continue to not support sanctions because China won’t be able to change Iran’s mind. They might think the Iran will continue to make the weapons anyway. But, with the power of China added to the U.N., the U.N. would be more powerful and could shut down the power plants and could bring the nuclear weapons in Iran to a stop
