Prompt 1
Dear Diary,
I don’t know about anybody else, but in my opinion, I think it is pretty cool being in The Magnificent Twelve. The Magnificent Twelve is basically a group of super heroes that fight all the enemies and the bad things in the world. I would have never guessed that I had the power to fight giant, creepy grasshopper guys trying to KILL me, until this old guy named Grimluk, started to appear next to me when no one was around. Every day, when Grimluk appeared next to me, he told me that I had special powers, and that I was a part of this group named the Magnificent Twelve. I thought it was kind of weird that he would appear next to me every day, but I got used to it. A few weeks later, when Grimluk appeared to me, he told me that I need to come to Sydney, Australia to meet the other members of the Magnificent Twelve. When Grimluk told me this, I was excited, but scared because that meant that I had to fly in a plane there and I have a fear of heights. My friend Stefan went with me because he wanted to go too. When we were on the plane, something weird happened. The plane started to tilt sideways and we eventually fell out of the plane. It was a good thing that we were still above the water because if we were above the land, we would have died. There was a boat that came to save us and took us to land. Once we reached the land, Stefan and I met the other members of the Magnificent Twelve. This was all a great experience and a lot of fun being a super hero and being in a group of other super heroes. I hope to have an adventure like this again.

Leo is a very sophisticated name. It means a name to be loved and admired. Leo Fillmore is a very smart, adventurous, mysterious, sophisticated, and helpful boy. This definition of his name really does match his character. His name sounds very royal and to be respected. In the story of Floors Leo is on a crazy mystery to find out everything about the hotel. To do this he has to have a very different personality. Having to go on a mystery includes having to be very smart and Leo was the perfect boy to do the job. Leo‘s name fits him absolutely perfectly there are no ways that it doesn’t. The name Betty is meaning beautiful. Betty the duck is sassy, sweet , smart, and adventurous. Definition of her name matches her in the way that Betty has a beautiful soul. A way that Betty does not match the definition is that she has a very sassy personality. In the story she is a partner for Leo in their mystery of the hotel. Even though she is a duck she is great company and makes a great partner in crime for Leo. That is very special that their friends because he is a human and she is a duck. Definition of the name Clarence means bright. Clarence Fillmore who was Leo Fillmore‘s father worked as the janitor of the hotel. He was a very manly man, and he was strong. This definition of Clarence does not really match his character in the story. He was a janitor and didn’t really seem to be bright he seemed more manly.

Dear Diary,
My demon in my head is really talking to me today. Today, I rode in a train to go visit Davis while he’s on vacation. I thought I would be ok because I was just sitting there but then I started thinking about the many germs infesting my seat, the table in front of me, the windowsill, and the people sitting next to me. I know that I should not worry about stuff like this but I can’t help but think about all the bacteria getting in my skin and in my mouth. The gentlemen next to me shook my hand and I wanted to pour a whole bottle of hand sanitizer on it. I have severe OCD and I sometimes feel trapped in my own body. When I finally got to my destination, Davis was there to meet me he could tell I was panicked and I explained to him why so he comforted me. I really like Davis and he likes me but I am afraid to kiss him because of all the bacteria he could transfer to me and I hate this because I just want to be a normal teenager. Sometimes, when he tries to hold my hand I flinch a little because I think of all the germs. I felt panicked the rest of the day and the Demon in my head kept telling me not to do things because of all the germs. I figured out later that I wasn’t myself because I forgot to take my medication that helps calm me and stops me from worrying.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules has many great themes throughout the entire book. One of these many great themes in this book is the theme of brotherly love. Greg Heffley and his older brother Rodrick Heffley clearly have somewhat of a sort of a sibling rivalry in the book more than the other books. This theme is quite clearly shown throughout the entire book. Greg Heffley has to ride home from his swimming lessons in his brother Rodrick Heffley’s van and he doesn't like riding with his brother because he can't ride in a comfortable seat and has to ride in the back with Rodrick’s stuff. Greg Heffley also doesn't like his older brother Rodrick because he doesn't like to hang out with his younger brother Greg Heffley. Rodrick Heffley doesn't like Greg Heffley because Greg Heffley messes with him and got him in trouble. Rodrick Heffley also doesn't like Greg Heffley because he has to drive him home from school and swim practice in the book. The reason the theme is brotherly love is because they eventually get on better terms. Even though Greg Heffley put up the video of the mom dancing online they still kinda seemed to be on better terms at the end of the story. The good part about this is how it’s more of a playful thing versus the i’m going to ruin your life attitude they had against each other. In conclusion Greg Heffley and Rodrick Heffley show the brotherly love theme in this story.

Dear diary,
Today was a hard day. Zena and I have been starving for a couple of days now. So when we were walking around the gated area the Nazi soldiers are keeping us in, Zena spotted a berry bush so we saw a little hole that I could stick my arm out to grab a hand full of berries so were could eat them or trade them for potatoes later. I tried to grab them and it was an inch away out of my reach. I could maybe slide under quickly the punishment would be so harsh but I was hungry so I did it. One of the Nazi shoulders caught me and knocked me out when I woke up I was getting separated from Zena. I also had a weird flashback to when papa was getting taken away from us and we never so him again. Also when Aunt Hannah was talking to papa about going to America she left without use. When I stopped day dreaming I realized Zena was taken away from me and I tried worming out of the Nazi’s hands but then he tried to aim the gun at me and I threw me body at him with force, knocking the gun at him and it miss fired and shot him in the leg. Zena and I ran for like four miles until my legs gave out and we fell asleep in the middle of a farm field in till it was morning.

Clint Emerson is the author of the book 100 Deadly Skills. He was a member of seal team six, which is an elite navy seal team. He also was a member of a few other parts of the navy seals. Clint Emerson also makes YouTube videos on how to protect yourself. He deserves the award of most brave. He has gone through a lot of training which was probably very dangerous and intense. It shows a lot in the book and in his YouTube of what he had to go through to become a navy seal. He probably had to fight and do missions like killing Osama Bin Laden. It’s a really tough thing to be a navy seal and is probably very scary at times. To be a seal you have to work hard. Some of the work outs he does are very tough and looks like it would be a struggle. It would be interesting to find out if he was there when the United States killed Osama Bin Laden. Clint Emerson has probably gone through many missions just as crazy as getting Osama Bin Laden. It is good to have people like Clint Emerson in our United States military. The book shows a lot of hat to do in tough situations. God gas given Clint Emerson a gift and he used it. God gives everybody gifts, and they need to be used to his glory. Clint has served at a very high level in the military and has learned a lot of skills throughout his career.

Hamilton is never not focused on war or law, and all around work. Which is why I think the song Alexander Hamilton is a great song that he should have heard. He could have just the right amount of knowledge to realize that he had so many people who loved him,died for him, trusted him, and was so jealous he was shot by his friend not in war but by out smarting Bur. In war they probably had men sing, but was thinking the should play ACDC. They could play t.n.t and have cannons or they can play thunder so that when they have the spies thunder always comes before lighting. The last song they should play before they win the war is the final countdown. It would be so awesome. They would win and they would walk out with awesome music. Then the war would be over every one could go home and see there family. Hamilton although never stopped so you know what song Elisa should have sang work from home. Elisa and Hamilton had many kids she could not do it all her self.Once Hamilton died it was crazy how she took care of eight children and started the first private orphanage in New York. If they were all Christian I would tell them to her the song Glory to God. Every time I her this song I tear up and thank God for an other day and praise Him for all He has done.

Cassie would be awarded “bravest and most protective” in the novel. She’ll do whatever she has to in order to safeguard the people she loves. She’s always been especially protective of her little brother Sam who was eventually taken by The Others (aliens). Cassie, determined to find him, fights her way through the novel until they are finally reunited in the end. Cassie’s dad, Oliver, would be given the “intelligence award”. He had many intelligent theories about The Others and always tried to be a voice of reason. He always seemed to know what was going on and was able to save his kids from death because of this knowledge. Right before Oliver died he knew something was wrong and warned Cassie to run before it got her as well. Cassie’s brother, Sammy, could also be given an award for “bravery”. He was so young, but never fell under peer pressure and he made sure never to cry. Ben Parish, aka Zombie, would deserve the award of “dead shot” because he never misses a shot. I would also give him “the protector” award. He saved Cassie’s brothers life three times throughout the novel. Cassie’s boyfriend, Evan, would get “the trickery” award because he was able to fool the aliens. He studied their weaknesses which allowed him to know exactly what their plans were to get rid of the humans and used this knowledge to help Cassie defeat them. Evan could also be awarded with “the healer” award because he found Cassie injured on the road and helped nurse her back to 100% so she could stay alive long enough to find her brother.

Charlotte should think of batman as a hero because no matter what he does he always seems super calm. I also think that Charlotte would sometimes just need to be more calm wether she is just to excited or to nervous. Lastly I think that Charlotte should think of God as a hero. Because God is always there for us when we need Him most. I also think that if Charlotte messes up she can always look up to God to take her sins away when she asks for forgiveness. I also think that she would want to be more like God. She can try to be the best person she can even though we know that nobody in this world is perfect except for God.

A long time ago before there were any epics there was a big comet called Calamity. Calamity was the biggest change that hit planet earth. Calamity made a big change in the people. He would go around and hit people which would turn them into epics. Epics are people who have powers. Most epics use their power to be the ultimate ruler. There was a epic that was called Rogue. Rogue was a powerful epic who killed every one he saw until Night Wilder. He was a good guy. Night Wilder had no powers but, made a difference in the world. He went up against Rogue and got beat up many times but, he got a grip on him and stabbed Rogue one hundred times. Everyone hated Calamity because of what he did to the world. Calamity was the worst thing that happened to the world. Everyone feared Calamity and they were afraid of what he would do to them. After he saw Night Wilder go up against one of the epics he got mad, really mad. He started tearing up the world by sending more and more epics. He ruined the earth and made it difficult for people to live. People started to take cover and many people lost their homes. Calamity was getting really happy. He got so happy that he started to fall apart and let people get their way. Many people started to rebel on Calamity. Calamity got torn apart and he was madder than he ever has been before.

Soren, Gylfie, Hortense, Skench, and Eglantine have interesting names. Soren’s name comes from Scandinavian and it means strict, severe and serious. This name wouldn’t be a good name for Soren because he is kind and thoughtful, he is also very smart because he and Gylfie came up with many plans to escape. Gylfie’s name means positive, self-assertive, independent, dynamic, and restless. This name would be a good fit for Gylfie because she is very positive and also very smart, she thinks of many plans for escaping and she also cheers up Soren when he is feeling down or sad. Hortense’ s name is a French feminine given name that comes from Latin meaning gardener. This name is nonrelated from the actual Hortense because Hortense was a spy to see where the bad owls take little babies to. Skench’s name means quick, active mind. This name would be a good name for Skench because he is pretty smart for trapping all of these baby owls. Eglantine’s name is a baby name from French, it means wild rose. This name could be a good name because she is a very sweet little new born owl who is Soren’s little sister. Even know this book had very interesting names, this book was still a good adventure book
