Creative Writing: "My House"
.... the entrance to the house.
There are black shutters on each window. As the porch continues to the south
side of the house I am now looking over the Pacific Ocean. A huge eight foot
picture is facing the same way I am. As I look down and observe the ocean I
see two piers jutting out into the Pacific. On either side of the piers are
huge boulders protecting the coast line from erosion. The house's walls are
made of stucco and it has an old fashion shingles that are a clay color.
As I walk into the back yard I am surrounded by the best things a man
could ever want. Well not quite everything! But a lot of things. I .....

Creative Writing: No Coins Please
.... On our way to our first stop, New York, we got a speeding ticket because
someone was tailgating our van.
The next morning, in Central Park, the director gave a speech telling what
they would be doing for the next few weeks.
By the end of the speech, I was already out of site, down in a subway station
changing into a tuxedo. Then I went to pick up my supplies, which consisted of
small boxes, wax paper, small empty jars, and 2 big jars of jelly.
These were to be put together to make many boxes of attack jelly which was to
be sold for 10 $ a piece.
When someone came up to me and asked what I was selling, I told them I was

My Truck
.... air
conditioning, and it was very windy. My door would slam in the night. The
rest of the family would not get any sleep. So, my mom came in to close the
windows a little and she would kick over my blocks and cars. In the
morning, I woke up ot see how muck damage was done. My blocks were
skattered, and some times my little plastic micro machine cars would me
broken. If you know about to toy cars, once the axle is bent from being
stepped on, or being turned, the wheels don't turn. But not my green pick
up truck. It was made of metal and had very strong axles.
I would make roads with my wooden blocks and scoot car .....

I Declare My Independence From Homework
.... concept of homework is so ingrained
into the minds of teachers that they do not see that it is even bad from
their prospective. Assigning homework means that a teacher must waste
valuable class time going over it when they could be lecturing and teaching
the subject matter just as effectively. In the cases of larger homework
assignments, teachers waste their valuable time grading it. Homework adds
to an already inordinate amount of time spent on education of young America.
The facts of the matter are that many people who are home-schooled spend
from one to two hours on school work a day and still often end up ahead of
those in t .....

The Ideal Dinner (Billy Corgan, Jimi Hendrix, And G. Washington)
.... His lyrics were simple and were almost always about love, but his
guitar talent and unique playing style always made up for it. I would love
to have a jam session with him and maybe have him teach me some things I do
not know about playing guitar. It would be a great honor to learn from a
teacher as great as him. A lot of people would kill for a chance to do
just that. His uncanny ability to play my favorite instrument, the guitar,
would be plenty enough reason to invite Jimi Hendrix to dinner.
My third guest would be much different than the rest. Not only
because he didn't play guitar, but for the fact that he .....

Creative Story: The Ride
.... with school, car or money. I
always had to work to earn everything, the only thing I wasn't paying for was
rent. In turn I wanted little to do with my father, stepmother or brother,
never contributing or helping out. I even stopped going with them on vacations.
The feelings I had were that I just wanted to be alone by myself, independent.
For four months after the accident I was unable to do anything that I
had previously done in the normal routine of my life. With a full leg and hand
cast I spent almost all my time during the four months recovering on the couch
in the living room. I finished my junior year of high school at .....

Hobby And Sport
.... doesn't fulfill any of my needs.
2)It's not suitable for a wider audience.
Today, the list of programs I have made, satisfy in a much more
professional way those simple requirements. I have made, in cooperation
with a friend, a game which tests your short-term memory. There must be a
thousand of those on the market today, but 'RecoN' has a very nice
graphical interface, and online help. We released the game as 'shareware'.
This means that anyone can have a copy without paying for it, but if they
after 30 days chose to keep it on their computer, they must send X amount
of money to a specified address. Naturally we still haven' .....

Quarry Hill
.... to the
Quarries!" Rudy said to get a response out of him. Tom -- still in his
"quiet mode" -- looked Rudy right in the eye, blinked, gave a half laugh,
and smiled.
"Well, all right. It's 1:00am, I think I'm going to go to bed now."
I was getting bored with the silence, and Tom wasn't going to move into his
hilarious mood, so I figured that I'd get some rest for once. Tom and Rudy
got in their respective cars, said some final words to each other, and then
the silence was killed by the roar of the '79 Camero's big block 350 engine.
I casually walked into the house, shut and locked the door, turned off the
lights, and went .....

Snow White
.... stepmother.
The Queen, even in her younger days, had always had the largest
mammary glands in the kingdom. With the sudden growth of Snow White the
Queen began to doubt herself. So she went to her magic mirror to ask if
she was still the most buxom woman in the land.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the bustiest of them all?"
The mirror, as expected replied, " You are, of course, my most
sovereign Queen." Satisfied, the Queen let the matter settle for a while.
As Snow White turns 14 things begin to grow even more and the Queen
once again gets very worried. Snow White had now begun to steal some
glances th .....

feel something. Then you bring it up to the surface and decide if it's big
enough/ripe enough to eat. If it's not, you throw it back. If it is, then
you pick it/reel it in. And of course, you can always brag about the ones
that got away.

Creative Story: Father's Handicap
.... went to see if my mom or dad had made me breakfast. I looked
and found nothing had been cooked for me. Which was really odd because every
Saturday and Sunday morning they had made me breakfast since I could remember.
My sister Amy was watching television. So, I asked her where mom and dad were.
She said, "Dad had hurt his back and had to go to the hospital." I was very
worried. I asked her how he did it. She said, "He was carrying some
decorations for the party and he slipped on a patch of ice."
Finally my mom and dad came home. My mom had to help him in the house
because he could hardly walk. I asked him if he was still going .....

Creative Writing: My Grandfather
.... walk home and there were water snakes in the gutters. One time when
he got home, his favorite toy, a refrigerator handle, was missing. Then he
noticed that the two trees that were in front of the house were gone. He called
the police. When the police got there, the baby-sitter was there and said the
owner had taken the trees out. When the police officer found out that a handle
was all that was missing, he gave my grandpa a lecture about only calling the
police in an emergency. He never found the handle. My grandpa liked chorus the
most, and he hated the rest of the classes. He remembers something Mr. Banks, a
math teacher .....
