Three Stories



During the past couple months, we have been studying three different people. Johnny Tremain, Ishi, and Jude. There are some similarities between them as well as some differences. First of all, J.T., Ishi, and Jude all have really good friends. Johnny has Rab, Ishi has Timawi, and Jude has Max.
They are also fighting for something. Johnny was fighting for liberty during the Revolutionary War. Ishi was fighting for liberty when the white people wiped out their tribe. Jude was also fighting when he was living during the Vietnam time. Some differences are that Jude is Irish, Johnny is English, and Ishi is Native American. They also have different ages.

Spring Break


"Look at all the seals!" I was on the sailboat Bandit off of Baby Island. My friend and her family took me sailing for four days. We went past Baby Island where we saw gray whales, harbor seals, and dolphins. Near the Oak Harbor Military Base, there is a place called Point Polnell. There are signs that say no trespassing. The signs also said Unexploded Ordinance or in other words, unexploded land mines. However, we went walking along the beach anyways. We stayed there for two days then sailed back to Holmes Harbor. My wonderful sailing trip was over.
