• Which in class writing was your favorite? Why? My favorite post was about my hunting experience with my grandpa and my dad. I liked this because i like telling the story of the best hunting year ever.

• Which in class writing was your least favorite? Why? My least favorite post was Color. i dint like it because i didn't know what color i am.

• Review all your writing chronologically (earliest to latest). List three interesting observations or changes in your writing. Which are the most profound (obvious and important)? Why? I wasn't writing as much, spelling was bad, and i didn't make my stories as interesting. Writing more now and making my stories more descriptive have been the most important. 

• If you could change anything about your writing this semester what would it be? Why? I would change the way I use words. for example be more descriptive or find other ways of saying something without using the word.

• What did you like best about this course? I like how we talked in class and had group activities.

• What did you like least about this course? Wished we read the book in class.

• What would you have done differently this semester if you could have a do-over? I would've made time to reed Heart and the Fist outside of class.

• What did learn about yourself as a student, a thinker, a writer this semester? I learned that if you just free write you could come up with something. Also i have became a better writer.

• What could I, Ms. A., have done differently to improve the course? Talk about Heart and the Fist in the class, maybe.

• You begin this course with an engagement and participation score of an A.  Attendance, participation in activities and group work help you to maintain this grade.  Evaluate yourself and assign yourself a grade for the in class portion of this course.  Don’t forget the reasoning behind your self assigned grade. I think i should get an A. I have been here everyday but one. Also i have always participated and done the work that should be done.

The heart and the fist

I connected to this books, because my grandpa with in the military. He wanted to protect us and protect the people of the war zone. He helped the people in the war zone by fighting beside them and also fought for them. I’m sharing today that my grandpa story when he was in war but I can’t tell the whole story because he hasn’t told me all of it for some reason. The purpose of this books is let people know how war is and the ways we helped stop it. And to inform people. I think the audience for this book are people who have experience it or people who want to know about stories of war.

Hunting - is something at I am very passionate about. My family have been hunting and teaching down the generation how to hunting and the skills needed. As an example turkey hunting. I’m passionate about it because it bonds people together and you learn something new every time you go turkey hunting. You need to know the skill of how to call in the turkey, stalk and how and when to put a decoy up to make the Tom come in. I get pride from killing turkey or hunting any animal. It makes me happy and it gives me something to eat. The excitement of hearing the gobble from a Tom is amazing. You have to work him in and get him close enough to shoot. And when you see a turkey close up for the first time and watch his head change different color and him being puffed up, is the coolest thing in the world. And you can be any race or anything to enjoy hunting and it’s always fun to bring someone who has never been hunting and they get a deer or turkey.

The Wild Turkey is further divided into six subspecies. Harvesting a bird from all the subspecies in the "Grand Slam"

Tiffany(Brat)

She’s my girlfriend. She has funny laughs and she beautiful. She’s annoying and knows what pushes my buttons or as she would say budens. She snorts every once in a while and she snores. And she has this puff. And unibrow and mustache. She doesn’t like to share my bed or my blanket.

Dad

They always fight but I can tell why. Tiffany is annoying and is clingy and gets jealous way to easy and that should stop. But its Tatum’s problem not mine. Also moving all her crap twice was so much fun when I had other stuff to do, like mow and work on Cody’s ca and get Leighton some lunch. And I let her live with me and she hasn’t said thank you that much. Also I let her have chickens and the stupid cat and she has not ever asked me if that was okay.

Tiffany

I need all this stuff. I only have like twenty different pairs of shorts so let’s get some more because I don’t have enough. I really need these shoes and phone case and this new phone and this new plan that I haven’t even paid for yet but who cares. Also I know I need to save money but I want all this stuff just to have it just; like my mom. I need my nails done also and then two weeks later I want them off then I get new ones. And I want to eat million times a day so let’s go buy some food. Oh I can’t wait for summer to get here to tan so let’s go pay 40 dollars and only go like maybe 7 times. And I own my mom money and boyfriend but they can wait till I get what I want. And look at factory connection I need new everything. And I ALSO have to have food every morning so I am happy. Also let’s buy some off a website that was like 40 dollars and have yet to get it. And I like to speed so let’s get a speeding ticket that I can’t even pay for because I spent all my money on junk. So lets my boyfriend pay for it.

Conflict

Talking with Tiffany. When we talk about her spending her money on stupid stuff and I try to keep her to save it. Because one she has bills and two she owes people money. Second is that she wants to go live on her own but she won’t save the money to get an apartment. Third she wants to go to see her brother and her father and she hasn’t saved any for that trip. She gets mad at me for trying to help. She doesn’t like me talking to her about it because she knows she has a problem but she doesn’t want to fix it. Last week she bout 3 shorts that she really didn’t need but she bout them anyways. She acts just like her mom when it comes to money. Oh and also she spent money to get her nails does which she didn’t need to do. Her wants are more than her needs. So that equals more money spent than save.

Stress

Stress is bad for your health. I get most of my stress from my girlfriend. She drives me insane when she gets mad when I try to talk to her about her bills and money. Also you can get stressed out about homework and also a test that you need to pass. Another is having a car that works and worrying about when it will finally die. And when people buy me stuff it stresses me out.

Pigeon

I was walking across the street to meet my other agent for the transfer of the super-secret case. Which I almost got hit by two cars. Then I sat down on the bench and this annoying bird wanted a piece of my bagel so I gave him some. But this wasn’t enough for the stupid bird he wanted it all for himself. The bird attack me which caused me to throw the bagel. The pigeon went after it and got stuck in the case. The pigeon started to make the box jumped and started to chase this women. Then all of the sudden the case opened up and guns came out and the pigeon started to shoot at people. Next the pigeon had got the case to fly and started going crazy and shooting everything. I finally got the bagel back and I tried to trade with the pigeon so, I could get the case back. That turned bad in a hurry. I threw the bagel in the air and pushed the pigeon away from the box. When I did that the bagel fell on the nuke button. So that set off the nuke aimed for Moscow. I grabbed the case and took off into the sky to catch up with the nuke. I was about to shoot the nuke down but the stupid pigeon got in the way. The pigeon and I had an intense stare down. So I thought, I should open the case let the bagel out and then shoot the nuke. So I did, the nuke was destroyed. I landed back at the bench where this all started and the pigeon was eating the bagel. I look at the bird and put my glasses back on and went the other direction. As I walked away a piece of the nuke fell from the sky and destroyed the stupid pigeon. 

Happiness

You can be happy about many different things. For example when I hit my first home run that was a good day. It made me happy. Also my girlfriend makes me happy all the time. But she is annoying also. But i have not been happy like she makes me. Another time I was happy was when I shot my fist buck with my grandpa. Seeing him show off my deer to the people of Ava and seeing his face made me happy. I was happy when I got my truck finished for the first time.

Fabular

I learned that I shouldn’t run away from dad when you are in trouble, because when he catches you and he will. You will not like what comes next. Another lesson I learned was that I could push someone through sheet rock. Also I learned you must work hard to get good grade but also everything in life. I learned the lesson not to run out of gas in a carburetor vehicle. I learned if you want something done right you need to do it yourself. I learned to not shoot fireworks at the crazy ladies house if you don’t want her coming out all crazy like. I learned that you shouldn't going bow fishing and swim in the creek all day before you go hauling hay. I learned that high school sports are about who you are and how much money you have.

Invisible power

Being invisible would be fun but also annoying. For fun it would be you could mess with people and scare them. Also no one would know if you are where you are supposed to be. The annoying part of being invisible would be if you wanted to be seen for any reason. Like for instance you wanted to play a sport or game or maybe even go hang out with friends. You could get left behind or forgotten. Another thing is that you probably have to be naked in order to be invisible because you can see clothes. But I guess you can have someone dump paint on you so people could see you. Then wear some clothes and be as normal as you can

Blue

The sky is blue. The oceans appears blue because of the blue sky. The color blue can be a type of mood. As you are feeling the blues, being sad or down on yourself. Also there is a type of music called the blues.

Color

Charcoal grey

This color would best fit me because I’m plain and simple. But I can be negative but it’s only the truth when I’m negative. So I don’t care if I’m negative because someone has to be, so why not me. It’s just how it is. Also I like this color, pretty cool color. Also if I ever get a truck I would want it to be this color.

Quote

Aim small, miss small

Well aim small, miss small can mean a lot of things. The way this slogan goes with me is that in hunting and life. In hunting it means to me is that you see the animal you are hunting and you aim small at it in other words you are sighted well on it. And the miss small part is when you miss the deer very little. This slogan came from the movie Patriot. In life this slogan is when I want to achieve something and I aim for that goal. I aim small at it to make my chances less for not making that goal, but if I do I only miss small from it. 

I believe

I believe..

In good morals

God

Family first

Baseball

I’ll get a job

Have a nice house

I’ll have a truck

Our government is crap, all about the pay check

Gas prices are too high

We shouldn't be fighting someone else’s war

I believe family is always first before anything else. You need to be there for family for anything they need even if you don’t agree you need to be there for them. If a family member needs help you should help them. If there is a strong family there isn’t anything that could stop them from doing something. If family needs help you should drop what you are doing and go help. Think of others before yourself. Also eventually you will need help with something and you will need your family and also count on them being there to help.  And family will always be there, they aren’t going anywhere. Even if you don’t like them or they did something to you, helping them when they need it could possible end or could solve the disagreement you had with them. Helping family will show that you can be trusted and people will look up to you for anything they might need. Also it comes with perks. Like being able to drive your grandpas truck while no one in the family can. And also being the entire family’s favorite because you help. Another is they will cook for you if you come over or have drinks for you and sometimes you get money out of it.

What if

What if….

 I was stupid rich

I had a boat

Hunting dog

Land

Gas was dollar

Owned stl cardinals

Hunt everyday

Summer all the time

Owned stl cardinals

If I owned the stl. Cardinals would be awesome. I would be rich and wouldn’t have to worry about money. I could sit in box seats and drink soda and have all the chilly cheese fries I could eat. And also the lemonade deals that you eat with a spoon. I would be able to take my friends to the games for free and will be able to take Tiffany to games. Also I would be able to buy her anything she wanted, even that stupid green Camaro that she wants, to make her happy. Just watching baseball every time there is a home game would be the best thing ever. I would give tickets away so people who wouldn’t ever get a chance to watch a professional game would be able to. I would take my children on the field and practice and let them meet the players. I also would hang out with players and do stuff with them to become a better owner and to see what the players might need. And I would have a day where anyone could come into the stadium and walk around on the field and play around to just say that they have been and a professional field.

Had lots Land

If I could own lots of land, me and tiffany could be our dream house with ponds and mud holes for her to go play and do whatever. Then I would put up tree stand and food plots everywhere to get deer to come in. also would get stupid horses, cows and some awesome hunting dogs. I would want land that would have woods and fields. I would hunt the dogs’ every day and just spend time in the woods. Also would get four-wheelers for me and tiffany, so we can go have fun. I would let my family come over and have bbq and big bonfires. I would take tiffany out in the middle of the field for a date and have music. Also would let family come over and hunt because i will have so much land that no one will see each other.

Dogs talked

If buck could talk that would be so awesome but bad at the same time. Good cause I would be able to talk to him. Bad because I’m worried he would sound dumb and I couldn’t handle it, but in a good way. If dogs talked I would get in trouble more than it would be awesome does could talk. And it would be annoying because he would just say all the time I want to eat, where the food is and can I please sleep with you and scratch me now. But at the same time I would be able to talk to him because he is always there for me. Like he waits for me to get out of the bathroom and walks downstairs with me and just lays by me. And I would tell him to stop going between my legs when I’m walking because he trips me almost every time. But the probably wouldn’t stop. Also I would ask him why he puked on my bed when we were both sleeping. And why does he have to poop on stuff, why not just in the middle of the room. Another thing I would ask is why you pooped of my laptop in my room when there was an entire room and basement you could’ve poop at.

Boat

My dad and I were going to put our jugs on the lake to see if we could catch catfish on them. But when we went over there we seen this teenager jumping up and down cussing up a storm. We thought that this kid is stupid and needs a new hobby than fishing, but it wasn’t that.  When we were putting our jugs in the water this boat came up to us with the teenager and his dad in it cussing say are you kidding me. When they came to us they said why are you putting jugs over our trot line. My dad and I don’t take people being like that to us, unless you are looking to get hurt. But we said is the “nicest” way possible is where is your id on your trot line to show were it is at. Well they didn’t have an answer for our question so we thought they were kinda dumb. Then we said by law you have to show where your line is and who it belongs to and where you are from. Well they didn’t have anything of that so they changes their attitude real quick when me and dad stood up in our boat and pretty much said if you don’t like us putting our jugs on your like then do something about it. Of course they didn’t so his prick son shut his face and so did his dad. Eventually they left and they were complaining about how it was their spot and what not but they weren’t going to do anything about it. Over all we showed them who was boss by using the law and how we acted. In the end we catch a lot of cathfish.

Fear

                I fear being in the ocean and the boat sinking. Its not really a fear but why would you want to be on a boat  in the middle of the ocean where you can’t swim to land.  I rather not be in a boat and it sinking then stuck in the stupid ocean with people I probably don’t like and that are annoying and have to listen to them complain. Not to mention being thirsty and cant drink anything cause your surrounded by salt water. Then I would have to worry about what am I going to eat and then listen to people cry and go crazy cause they cant handle themselves. And eventually I would just throw them off the raft if we had one, because no one wants to hear someone going crazy. I wouldn’t feel any sham, doing that. Just shut up and don’t complain so that everyone will be somewhat calmer. The best way not to have this “fear” in not be in a boat in the middle of the ocean and not be on a boat with people who are annoying or who complain a lot. And I have feet and arms not fins and gills so I’m not a fish.

Boat sinking would suck. First of all when you see water coming in the boat you are like here we go. One time we went tubing on lake of the Ozarks, which was the worst place in the world to go to. We were tubing and our boat wasn't the biggest on the lake so we had a hard time with the wakes of the other big boats. So after like 20 minutes on the lake we decided that we were done. We set off to the dock and we were almost there when this huge sports boat went like five feet in front of us and the front of the boat went under water. My dad and I picked up rocks that we keep in the boat just in case people are stupid and get close to us so we throw them at them. So we got the rocks and throw them at the boat and hit the side of their boat and hit their glass on the boat. They didn’t like that but they wouldn't come near our boat. Anyways after the front end of our boat came out of the water the inside of the boat had at least a few inches of water. My sister and brothers started to freak out so that didn’t help anything. Finally we got back to the dock and that was the last time we went to the lake of the Ozarks. Later on that day we waited to see if the boat that almost sank us would have docked at the same dock as us but it didn’t so that was a bad thing.

First shot

The first gun shot was the sound of someone who had got s deer or at least seen a deer. All we wanted to do is at least one out of the four of us get a deer. Well after we found out that I got one and so did grandpa got one. After dad came and seen what I shot I walked up to where grandpa was to make sure he was okay but he was. We found him by the pound gutting his deer and cleaning it. After we got his deer on the four wheeler he got on and we went to get my deer out of the field. when we got to the ruck we seen the massive buck that my dad had shot. It was the biggest body buck I have ever seen. His was a big 10 points with drop tines. So we got all of the deer that we shot that day and took a picture. This was the best day of hunting that we have ever had as a father son hunt. This will be the greatest memory I will have about deer hunting my dad and grandpa. We will tell this story for a long time and about the most fun we have ever had during hunting. Because most of the time its only one or two of us who gets a deer but not all three on the same day. Also my brother who went with us had gotten a deer during youth season so he had already got a deer.

Hunting

  It was the first morning of deer season and dad, brother, grandpa, and I were packed up ready to go the woods. It took us about twenty minutes to get to our hunting spot because my brother lost his gloves in the truck. When we got in the wood it was about five- thirty and we went our separate ways. It was about seven o’clock when I heard the first gun shot. It came from the direction my grandpa had went. So I got up and started to walk toward him, but then I had to go to the bathroom. So I stopped on the side of the hill where I forgot that my brother was sitting in the blind and started to unzip my pants. While I was unzipping my pants I seen something brown in the woods moving. Started to look then I see white horns and I knew it was a buck. So I grabbed my gun and aimed at the buck, while my pants were unzipped and pulled the trigger and shot the deer. After I shot it my pants fell down and I had to pull them up. After all of that I see my brother running down the other side of the hill saying did you shoot that and said it was a nine point because I didn’t get to see how many points it had. So we tracked it to the bottom field, where it finally died. While we were looking at the deer we heard another shot. This shot came from my dad. Cody went to my dad to see what he had shot and to get the four wheeler from him to get it back to me.
