The Journal Entry of King Hammurabi

In the year of 1728 BC I was elected the king of early Mesopotamia and during the year of 1686 BC I was discharged form politics and another king was chosen. I have done lots for the people of Mesopotamia, I have built irrigation canals, public buildings, and I also repaired some temples and city walls.

I was not a great state builder though because there were not very many state buildings around that I could model mine from. For about the first 25 years of my reign, Babylonia was the victim much pressure form neighboring cities and countries. I chose to follow a totalitarian approach to governance.

I think I was the most recognized ruler in history of early Mesopotamia, well if I'm not I should be. I invented the Code of Hammurabi or the Code Law. This was a collection of laws and edits from Babylonia during the mid 18th century BC. If the people did not follow these line of laws then they had some serious consequences to pay, they way I saw it was like an eye for an eye, or a finger for a finger. The codification is not mine, but I took the name and changed it around and called it the Code of Hammurabi.

Well it's time for me to go because I'm going to go die now so I hope I will be thought of for years to come.

The Christmas Story

It was exactly one week before Christmas day and poor little Johnny was so excited for Christmas because this was his first Christmas with a real family, Johnny is 10 years old. Johnny was an adoption child before his adoption family came and got him 2 weeks before Christmas. Like the story says Johnny was excited for Christmas and he could not wait for all the presents he was going to see under that great big green Christmas tree.

So as the days went on Johnny woke up more excited then the last. So finally one day when Johnny woke he realized it was Christmas Day so he ran into his parents room to get them up, but he found an empty bed, so he ran down stairs thinking they were already up, but as he ran down he found the Christmas tree gone and all the presents under it were gone. Johnny was so upset he didn't know what to do so he phoned the police and said his parents were missing and the Christmas tree was gone along with all the presents under it. The dispatch officer on the opposite end of the line as Johnny was his mother, but Johnny didn't know this. She said to Johnny that one of our units are on the way, so Johnny said thank you and he hung up the phone and waited.

As the hours passed Johnny waited, but nobody showed up, Johnny found this suspicious, like they were up to something. Then all of a sudden the door bell rang and Johnny ran over to see who it was, and when he opened the door his family was standing there with a big smile, and the Christmas tree was with them along with all the presents that were under it the night before.

So as Johnny celebrated Christmas with his family, they sang Christmas Carrol's. After they sang some Christmas Carrol's they all went into the kitchen and looked at the table and the whole family saw the same thing. What they all saw was a 5 course meal including turkey smothered in gravy, potatoes, carrots, homemade rolls, and turnips drowned in butter. All this was prepared by the overly waged chef who was Chef Gordan Ramsey.

The whole thing with his parents leaving and taking the Christmas tree and all the presents with them was to see how mature their new foster son Johnny was, it also turned out into being a prank for the parents it was quite funny for them. When Johnny's parents left they wanted to see how mature their foster son was , and it turned out that Johnny for being a 10 year old was just as mature as a 13 year old would be if they were in the same predicament.

Influence Change - To Kill A Mockingbird

The well known novel To Kill A Mockingbird written by Harper Lee could influence for either the good or bad. It could influence for the good because someone might have a child that is into guns and killing birds and squirrels and then once they read the book they will see that shooting birds like the mockingbird and the moose bird is bad luck, it is bad luck to shoot a mockingbird because they don't do nothing wrong, but they just make beautiful music for everyone to listen to. Shooting a moose bird is bad luck because the "old timers" say that moose birds are the souls of dead lumberjacks.

The novel To Kill A Mockingbird also has a movie made after it. The movie is not as good, but oh well. The novel could influence a brother and sister to act like Jem and Scout Finch, that is not a bad thing, but it might not be a real good thing either especially in this day and age, because the children are quite mean and rude these days, so they would probably be made fun of by other children.

The novel could influence a boy for the worse because he might try to be like Jem. That is a bad thing because Jem gets into shooting guns at birds and squirrels, and then the child might change to shooting at people with pellet guns and then with a shot gun and then eventually he will start shooting with a rifle and when that happens they will probably be going to prison for murder.

That is my opinion on how the novel To Kill A Mockingbird could influence a change on life as it is today

5 Out of 10

*Worst or Best Day*

My best day that probably could have happened to me this week was yesterday, March 24,2010. What happened on this day? Well it started off the same as any other morning got up got dressed. Then my father got up and said to me lets go get that Ski-Doo we seen on Kijiji, so I said,"ya okay" not thinking he was serious, but what do you know 2 hours later my father and me were on our way to get the Ski-Doo Formula Plus 580. When we got home with the Ski-Doo I tried it out and I really liked the rush I got from the Ski-Doo. This Ski-Doo will travel along around 110 miles per hour, the Ski-Doo is red. That is probably the best thing that happened to me this week.

Winter - Love It or Hate It

Right now I am actually praying for snow because my father just bought a Ski-Doo Formula Plus 580 So I hope the snow stays for a little while yet because I will probably not get to much driving out of it. Sure it is nice to see summer come, but I can't snowmobile on the grass. I used to hate winter before my father bought the snowmobile, but it is different now because I won't be sitting in the house complaining when it is storming out, now I can be out in the snow actually having fun.

*The Perfect Mode of Transportation*

The perfect type of transportation for me would be an old 1979 Ford F150 4x4, these trucks are the best of their kind. These trucks look good, and they are tough, and can handle a lot of terrain. A 1979 Ford F150 4x4 is not a gas guzzling pig like most modern 4x4 trucks or SUV's. A 1979 Ford truck would be perfect for me because they are tough and I need a tough truck because if it breakable I will break it, they are also good for me because they look good and I like a good looking truck, this would also be perfect for me because I'm always hauling something with the four wheeler and I'm always muddin' with the four wheeler. If I had a 1979 Ford F150 4x4 I could go whenever I wanted to or haul something whenever I wanted to.

Hell and Heaven

My personal hell would be like the world is today, sometimes your up sometimes your down, the reason I chose this was because we're always being tormented by something or someone, there is always something we like that we can't have or something is being taken away form us. Heaven on the other hand would be totally different then the world as it is today. As I picture my personal heaven I see: lots of big white fluffy clouds, and as I am soring through the air I look over to my right and I see God smiling at me, saying you have done well to get here. I say back,"thank you God I couldn't have done it with out your help of me knowing I lived for something. God would say back, "come with me I will show you your room. As I walk through the door...

*Thats The Funniest Thing*

The funniest thing that ever happened to me was last winter, me and my two cousins were snowshoeing well I was the only one wearing snowshoes they both had on skiis. So we were going along across the road form my house and of course snowshoes are slippery on crust I relized that after the what I thought impossible happened. The impossible is: as we were walking along I( had my snowshoes on and they are slippery on the crust so I went down this hill and about half way down the hill one foot slipped out from under me and then went the other I went straight up in the air and my feet got all tangled up in a big mess and then I came down and when I hit I landed on my stomach and knocked the wind out of myslef. So when I wne to get up my snowshoes were all tangled up together so I fell again. So I finally got untangled, but what a job that was, but it was funny.

Nobody or anything were harmed in the making of this situation. This story is based on a true story of mine that happened in the winter of 2008-2009.

The Visit to the Village of the Morhogs

As the little boy named Joshua ran through the village of the Morhogs he stopped to visit some of his family members. As he visited his grandmother he got curious so he decided to explore his grandmother's ti pi, so as he did he found out that his grandmother had a secret dog named Johnnie, and Joshua never new about the dog, so he visited the dog and as he did he found out that the dog was really his grandmothers brother, and Joshua's grandmother's name is Susie Joe.



As he got on his travels he found his uncle Richie mowing the long grass he decided to stop and talk to uncle Richie for a minute so he did and he asked Richie how he was doing and Richie replied, "good Joshua and how about you? and Josh replied, "good well i have got to go now so I will see you later and then uncle Richie, "okay Joshua see you."



So as Josh got on his way he stopped at an old tree to climb it so as he climbed it he found an ugly looking ogre and this ogres name was Maraca Moreese and it turned out the only reason the ogre was upset was because he had hit his toe as he was climbing up into the tree, the ogre was going to build a tree house, but he couldn't now because his toe was broke. Joshua said,"that is okay you can build it when your toe gets better and then the ogre said,"I guess you are right Josh." Then they gave each other a hug and Joshua was off to explore another place.



Joshua couldn't decide whether to go home for lunch or go to his aunts for lunch so he finally decided he would go to his aunt Lucy's for lunch he started off toward Lucy's by the time Josh got there lunch was all gone, but his aunt Lucy made him a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Joshua ate the sandwich and then decided t go visit his aunt's neighbor named Johnnie boy so he did and when he got there he couldn't find Johnnie boy anywhere so hen decided to check out behind his house, when Josh did he found Johnnie boy out laying on a beach seat trying to get a tan, but he couldn't because the sun was friendly and didn't want to hurt his skin. So Joshua ran up to Johnnie boy and scared him nearly to death, Johnnie boy got up and said,"what is going on here, Joshua you scared the bejeebers out of me." Joshua just laughed and ran away.



Joshua ran over to the ice cream truck and said,"could I have a triple chocolate ice cream on a cone, please." The ice cream man said,"sure that will be 50 cents." So Joshua handed him two quarters and told the ice cream man thank you.



As Joshua walked over to his house, which is the big yellow house, Joshua was so tired he felt like he could lay down and sleep forever. Joshua didn't though he just laid down and had a nap. After he woke up he went outside and realized it was all a dream. The End

The Pig Who Fell Out the Window

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. There was Curly. He was the oldest.There was Wurly. He was the smartest. And then there was Flo. She was the favorite pig.Their mother loved Flo the best. Curly, Wurly and Flo lived with their mother in a high-rise apartment building in New York City. There apartment was on the 75th floor.The pigs didn’t mind this because there was an elevator that opened right in front of their apartment door. It was on the days that their elevator wasn’t working, that the pigs suffered.Their little hoofs would be aching by the time they reached their apartment.Their mother would have to have little hoof baths waiting for her three little pigs when they finally reached the top. Of course, Flo always got the warmest hoof bath because she was their mother’s favorite. One day, Mama Pig sent the three pigs to the store to buy apples for their dinner. She gave them a list of items that she needed.She also gave them their allowance, and she told them that they could buy their favorite candy which they would eat for their dessert. The three pigs put on their jackets (it was winter).They put on there gloves and scarves. Next, it was time to put on their boots.Curly slipped on his bright red leather boots over his red and yellow polka dot socks.Wurly, being the most intelligent, slipped on his waterproof, fully lined boots over his white socks.Curly and Wurly were ready and waiting for there sister. She could not find her boots."Curly and Wurly," she said, "have you seen my boots?"Curly and Wurly looked at each other and then they looked at their sister."I’ll tell you where they are," said Wurly, "if you’ll give us your allowance to hold while you go and get them.""Okay," agreed Flo as she handed the boys her allowance."There are your boots, over there," said Curly. "Where?" asked Flo suspiciously."Over there!" squealed the boys as they pointed to the window in their living room."They're over there behind that curtain." Flo slowly walked toward the window.They boys followed closely behind their sister. Just as she reached the window, Curly opened thewindow and Wurly pushed Flo through. Curly and Wurly squealed with delight as they’re sister fell 75 floors. Curly and Wurly were thrilled that there plan worked. They were rid of Flo and they had her money! Luckily for Flo, she landed on a huge snow pile and was not hurt. Her brothers were not so fortunate. Mama Pig heard the commotion, ran into the living room and, when she realized what they had done, sent the boys to live with there Uncle Oscar Mayer.Uncle Oscar always knew what to do with bad little pigs. The boys protested. They were just doing Flo a favor by helping her find her boots; it wasn’t they’re fault that she was clumsy.But Mama would not listen to their excuses and off they went to Uncle Oscar’s. Flo and Mama Pig still live on the 75th floor of the apartment building in New York City, and they're very happy there. Now Flo gets her brothers’ allowance since they're not there.

How I See Hell in My Mind

I picture hell as a place of fire and demons, I picture in my mind tortured soles that were dragged down in the the firey pits of burning lava. The hell I picture is the exact opposite of heaven I picture that when someone goes to hell they come up to a large burnt gate with spikes on the top and people speared on the spikes of the gate. Then as you keep walking the devil would come up to you and welcome you into his home of fire, and skeletons, then he would show you to your room. Then after you were there for three months he will give you a survey to see how bad you hate it there.

I picture hell as hot as 1000 degrees Celsius. After you were there for ten years he would spear you on one of the spears and then he would drink your blood that is running down the spears of the gates of hell. This is how I picture hell in my mind.

The Time Capsule

The five items I have chose to put in the time capsule are:
1. My hunting knife
2. My Merle Haggard CD
3. My old MP3 player
4. A set of acoustic guitar strings
5. A 12 gauge shot gun bullet

I would put my hunting knife in the time capsule because in the year 2110 there probably won't be no such thing as hunting because hunting is becoming scarce now. Nobody in the year 2110 will probably not know what a hunting knife looks like because if there is hunting then the people of that time will probably have to with AK47 or machine guns.

I have chose my Merle Haggard CD to put in the time capsule because in the year 2110 there old country music will probably be extinct because country oldies are becoming extinct now now of the younger generations listen to them, I am the only one that I know of, and Merle Haggard is one of the best at singing them old country songs.

I have chosen to put my old MP3 player in the time capsule because in the year 2110 Mp3 players will be obsolete I know this for a fact because they are almost obsolete now. That is all I see on the streets now is Ipods, Mp4's, and Iphones.

The reason I have placed a set of acoustic guitar strings in the time capsule is because nobosy will probably never even heard tell of an acoustic guitar, it will probably all electric guitars in the year 2110.

I have chosen to put a 12 guage shot gun bullet in the time capsule is because in the year 2110 nobody will ever have seen a shot gun nor a shot gun bullet. I have chosen to put this bullet in there because this is all I use when I go hunting partiridge and they work quite well.

Letter to the Future

Dear, People of the future

Hi my name is Jarrett, in my family are four people, my mother Michelle, my father Jason, my sister Marissa, and me.

I am probably not around to read you this, so I want someone to read it for me. I think it is important for you people to remember how outgoing I am and not always texting people on mmy phone because that is all people do now a days, nobody hardly talks anymore they're all to wrapped up in all the technology of cell phones.

In the year 2010 a enormus earth quake hit the country of Haiti, and a couple of days later the aftershock hit them destroying the whole country. This affected Canada because the govenrment sent millions of dollars over to them. In the year 2010 the NB Power companmy sold out to Hydro Quebec. In the year 2009 Homehard Ware bought out Donahues Plumbing on Mainstreet Blackville.
