Steve's Paintball-Personal Narrative

The title of the book I read is Monster by Walter Dean Myers. It was published in 1999 by Harpercollins. It has 281 pages. The genre of this book could be described as drama, crime fiction, or just fiction. This book tells about a young, sixteen-year-old boy who is on trial for helping with a murder. He was just the lookout to make sure the store, they robbed was clear, but his crew got caught and he got ratted out. Now he’s in some serious trouble.

The definition of a “monster” is a threatening force. In Walter Dean Myers’ Monster, Steve Harmon the defendant in the trial is being charged for felony murder. The monster in him is the struggle between his innocence and guilt. Steve’s judgment of his actions is similar to a pendulum swinging. Although Steve believes within himself that he is innocent, of the important people around him, make him insecure as to the degree of his innocence and turn to others for confirmation.

Percy begins to doubt that he is capable of being a hero during the fight between him, Echidna, and Chimera because he feels as if Riptide, his sword, will cause minimal damage, and in this situation he’s not only trying to protect himself. First of all, before going into the elevator his suspicions lowered once Grover reassured him that there were probably no monsters since the smell is similar to that of underground. Once Percy got into the elevator, leaving Annabeth and Grover behind, he didn’t exactly expect the “chihuahua” to be Chimera, or the fat lady to be Echidna. He was baffled and caught in surprise unlike most of the other times where he was with his friends and they could protect each other. No, in this situation it was all on him.

Imagine a nine year old boy who loves laughing. He is energetic, and it seems like he is always doing something. He is getting ready for the big football game later one afternoon. He has been waiting for this day for two weeks; it is finally here. Three plays into the game, he gets hit in the head. The boy comes out of the game for a couple of minutes, but eventually his coach puts him back in. A few plays later, he gets hit again, but this time he does not get up right away. When he does get up, he staggers off the field and falls, unconscious. Minutes later, an ambulance comes and takes the boy to the hospital. After hours of attempted treatments, the boy sadly dies. To prevent this common scenario from happening, tackling in youth football should be banned until kids reach early teenage years because it can cause detrimental head injuries, and many other future and emotional effects.

In the natural, baseball is the main point of the whole movie. It is about a guy named Roy Hobbs, a small town guy, who is really good at baseball. No one knows his whereabouts and everyone wants to know “where the heck did this guy come from?”. He takes everyone by surprise by being really good, since he is a middle age man. He proves them all wrong when he starts winning games, which does not make the judge happy at all. They are all trying to figure out where he came from.

The story is called “Seabiscuit: An American Legend”, which is a best-selling biography and an inspiration to many. The book was published in 2001, who´s author is Laura Hillenbrand. Laura suffered from Chronical Fatigue Syndrome since she was 19. Before that, she was an active, athletic person. She was forced to stay at home because of her disease most of the time, so she had a lot of time to do writing. She lived through her book since she couldn’t have physical adventures; she rode Seabiscuit in her imagination.

The third time I took Jake Vanderheydt paintballing was the funniest/best time I 've ever gone with him. It was a clear Sunday morning when me and jake arrived at Pekin Paintball. We were ready to kick some butt. We got all geared up and ready to go but there were only about 3 other people there so we couldn 't start at match until we had an even amount of people on each team so me and jake went on a speedball field and played one on one. It was going fine until jakes gu started acting up. His gun seemed to mess up every time we went, I think that it only worked about one time we 've gone. Since Jakes gun didn 't work he had to go get a rental gun which cost $25. When he got his gun there were enough people there to play a game. Everything

In 1900 one night in Lidtke Mill there was a horrible incident. A young boy was playing by the water. Out of nowhere he got pushed by a guy covered in black. The kid didn’t know how to swim so he drowned.

The book “Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock” by Matthew Quick was quite the read. The main character, Leonard Peacock, seems a bit insane because already in the first chapter, he says, “Especially after I actually kill Asher Beal and off myself.” (Pg 5) Now that could be taken as a horrible joke, but he also has the P-83 handgun. He really means it. This whole book is a twenty-four hour setting, so this character develops rather quickly. Leo appears to be a teenager who just turned 18, and wants to kill this other guy, Asher. As the book continues along, we learn that our main character was actually raped by Asher. Leonard bought four presents for four people that were special to him, which in a way proves that he still has a heart. Without a doubt, what Asher did is completely

That night Brown hides at a distance, watching the game go on. He watches as two masked, armed men come and invade the card game. They steal the money and run, a man from the card game chases them and Brown follows behind. The burglars split and the man and Brown keep chasing one of them. The man tackles the burglar, making them tumble down a hill. Brown follows them down the hill, shoots the unarmed man two times. Brown tells the burglar to take off his mask, take some of the money and leave. Brown takes the rest of the money. He then takes his extra gun in his sock, fires three shots, wipes the gun and places it in the unarmed man’s hand. Brown covers himself by making the scene look like a shoot off between himself and the unarmed man. After this all happened, Brown starts being watched because the department is getting very upset of the corruption he has caused.

One day down in the underground bomb lab. Stuart were working on some plans sitting at their desk. Bob gets so frustrated he balls up his peace of papers and gives stuart a very competitive look, then looks at the trash bin. He then threw the wadded paper across the room and made it in the bin, laughing in glory . Then Bob challenges stuart to do the same. Stuart grabs his paper and crumples it up the same way and rolls farther away from the bin. Takes the shot at the bin and makes it. Then he gives Bob the look. So Bob gets another piece of paper that was on the desk and rolls way past Stuart facing the opposite direction of the bin. He was so confident. He then threw the paper across the room and proceeded to make the paper in the bin. Stuart reaches to the desk to get more paper but there was no more. But wait, there was a pair of red boxing gloves on the desk. Stuart then picks them up and shows them to Bob. Bob eagerly pulls out a remote control with a button on it. The floor next to them flipped

Spot walked farther than he had ever walked before. He walked past the big, green field, the chicken coop, and the pigpen. Tired, Spot laid down to rest in the stables. Here, he met a horse, who was teaching her foal to walk. Spot asked the foal “Do you want to play?” He smiled and said, “Yes, I would love to play.” The two played most of the afternoon, and Spot walked home happily. Over dinner, Spot told his family about how lonely he had felt when nobody wanted to play with him and how he had made a wonderful friend. His siblings apologized for their rude behavior and asked to join Spot on his next visit to Jimmy the foal. Spot agreed happily, saying, “Yes, of course you may.” The next morning, the five piglets walked to Jimmy the foal’s barn, whispering excitedly. Spot, Rebecca, Pinky, Billy and Joey played with Jimmy all day, teaching him how to roll in the dirt, how to play tag, and so much more. In return, Jimmy gave the piglets a tour of the stable. They gazed in

In the movie Dead Man Walking we meet a man on death row and a nun who is trying to be his spiritual counselor. He realized throughout the movie what his idea of the story was and in the end accepting what he did. We watch painfully him die and watching his last exhale of air was so powerful. I felt so much empathy for him even though he was guilty. I think that is what the people who wrote the movie were aiming for. I think many things could have lead Matthew to kill those kids. The drugs were a big factor making him more influential to do terrible things. I also think that he could not see his kid made him cold. He couldn’t see her so he went after people who would end up getting married and or having kids. He was also peer pressured by the other guy. You see in the movie Matthew tried to walk away with the rifle but the other guy (I don 't remember his name)
