There we were Meliza and her soft brown skin not too dark and not too light but just the right color. Well of course me and my short self was there too, so there we were sitting on the slide staring into space and thinking about our futures. Hoping that the day we will be able to get on the"Big Playground". Yeah., that's what we called the playground on the other side of the fence. You know since we were only in kindergarten we couldn't go to the other playground because that's where the older kids went and the teachers didn't want no accidents to occur. But yeah there we were thinking , even though we were young Meliza and me always wondered how our future will turn out. I've always wanted to be a teacher because I love helping and working with other people. I don't know if I still wanna be a teacher, now I kinda want to be a famous soccer player or be a hairstylist. Things change as you get older but if you really want to accomplish your dream, you need to try hard and get good grades. Even if its very difficult it will at least get you somewhere in life.
Anyways I have this very funny and unusual experience from when I was in Elementary. When I was in either third or fourth grade. I was with this friend named Allison and we were just going outside when suddenly I hear teachers yelling "Catch That kid".! I was like what ?! Then I saw my friend running as fast as he could, it wasnt long before I reacted and noticed he was being chased by the teacher that was yelling. Whoaa it was like he was famous or something because everybody just stopped what they were doing and stared at him. It was crazy. After a while he stopped and thats when we see the principle approaching him with a mad look on his face. After that I guess he got suspended, but the real mystery is that no one knows what he did. Many say he spit in a teachers face but I don't belive that. Well yeah I never knew that someting like that would happend.
This was some of the experiances I will never forget from Elementary. You see "School is like my second home, I feel safe and loved by friends, its like a wish come true". What are some of your sexperiancnes in Elementary that are always on your mind?

Hunger Games Research Project
Imagine being picked to fight till death just for the intertainment of other people! Well thats how Katiness is feeling when she goes to the reaping and they pick her sisters name out of the bowl. Can you believe her name was in there only once and out of like 1000 other names they had to pick PrimRose Everdeen!!! Thats not fair and I would do the same thing Katiness did. I would volunteer so i take my sisters place so nothing bad can happend to her. Plus Katiness is the one with the skills because she goes to the woods and shoots her bow and arrow and practices with Gale her best guy friend. Anyways back to the reaping. The boy tribute,which thats what they call the people they choose for the hunger games, is Petta Malark. That means this is one of the people that Katiness is gonna need to kill so she can survive and win.But yeah so it then turns out that Haymitch, districts 12 only surviver of the hunger games, wants Katiness to be in love with each other and yeahh. So then the hunger games start and Peeta betrays Katiness. Rue and Katiness form an alliance. Then later on she dies and the capital changes the rules so Katiness and Peeta can work together. At the end They win and she actually do fall in love forreal :)(Hunger Games book)
The Gladiators are very similar to the Hunger Games because they both made innocent people do it and they had to fight to survive. Also in the book they fought against some weird looking creatures and Gladiators sometimes needed to fight against tigers or other sorts of animals. The matches took place in a arena just like in the hunger games!(Chris) One of the main reason its alot like the hunger games is because its to entertain the public or who ever is watching it. Well when I was researching I found out that some of the fighters in the arena were volunteers and this really relates alot to Katiness.("Gladiator.") Well yeah can you imagine that the Gladiators have alot of similar things with the hunger games!? This was one of the authors inspiration on writing the book.
Now we are going to talk about throwing an arrow and the techniques you need to have to be a good bow and arrow shooter. Well first off all Shooting an arrow has been around for a very long time and its basically used for the same thing. You know hunting and combat.(Jimmy) Well I think to be a very good bow and arrow shooter you must have really good aim and you should practice alot. That's what Katiness did out in the woods with Gale so that is how she got an 11 when they saw her performance. But yeah, Well this might be a little off topic but I think its important,here we go. Katiness's dad died in a mine explosion but before all that happend he showed her his hunting skills and he taught her also he made her a bow and arrow. So I am pretty sure thats the only reason she is good but thats a good thing because she won't die of hunger cause she knows how to hunt for animals.
Well now you know a big chunk of Katiness's life and depending on what type of person you are will also depend what u would do if you were in her situation. Like i said before I would take my sisters place just for one reason and thats becasue I lovc her. Would you ? Anyways an amazing thing is that you now know information about the Gladiators and how they use to battle back in those times. Im glad we stopped that becasue i wouldn't enjoy watching people sufer. Also to be a good bow and arrow shooter like Katiness with what i wrote to you about it will help you become a better one. Thanks for taking your time and reading this. (Emeli)

Stradegy Quick Write :)
I think good strategies that the people can use at the hunger games are to make very good traps so the other contestants can fall for them and get trapped so they can be killed. Or another idea can be to, try to make your own weapons. This idea will match perfectly with Katiness because since her dad use to make Bow and Arrows she can close her eyes and try to remember how to do one. One of my perfect ideas that i came up with is to hide either in a bush or tree and then when a person from another district comes you instantly jump on their back and start to attack them! These are some of my ideas that i think will work well when you get chosen for the Hunger Games. :)
