My Flight

Hey grade six! Its Melody writing from Israel!
Its really hard to believe that im in the homeland of the Jews but I am.
I am sorry that I didnt write but let me tell you about my flight experiance flying to the homeland and that will answer why i did not write.
Lets Begin.

3:30 My Mom, My Sister, My Dad and myself are at the airport. We give the people our passports and our luggage and we talk to them to make sure that our luggage will get to Israel. Our bags were over the limit but the let us go threw. We finished with that and then carried on.
We walked around and then we dicided to eat because as you most probably know the food is really bad. We had really good sushi it was quite good for an airport, we paid and then said our goodbye's and went through our gate. Originally our flight to London was at 5:55 then they called to say it was at 5:30 but then the woman told us that it would be at 6:10 we were upset but oh well what can you do . We talked to people and figured out that the flight was delayed because the plain was missing a part and needed repair. We went to the bathroom got settled down and then we heard the flight to London will be delayed till 6:45. then we got really mad because we might miss our connecting flight to Israel. We got on the plain and took our seats. We thought that they would give us a new plain with a personal T.V but they didn't they gave us a plain probably older than us. Instead of the personal t.v there was a patch of the ugliest green fabric I have ever seen in my LIFE! The chairs were uncomfertable the whole plain was ugly and it was full we flew on AIR CANADA. Not the greatest air line but we got they flight off of points. We sat there and sat we were waiting one whole hour in the plain with out doing anything! It was so boring. We took off it wasnt so bad as we staeted but then the plain started going up and down and again and again during the whole flight it was bumpy. My sister and I did not feel well at all even my mother for her first time in her life. We got our food it wasn't so bad. Then we slept my sister got sick and you know what happend next. After they took care of her we went to sleep again 5 hours into the flight 4 more hours at least we thought so we were delayed in the air! another hour! It was really bad. Then when we landed it happend to me I threwup but In a bag of course. I threwup because when we landed we got on the ground and the pilot suddenly flew up again out of no where. We had a connecting flight to Israel and we were going to miss it. Our flight to israel was at 12:55 we landed at 12:45. We had 10 min. to get on our next flight it was going to be impossible we landed at terminal 3 and had to get to terminal 1 the agent said that we were going to miss our flight and had to take the next one at 10:30 in the evening so my mom got upset and she said no because I can't stay with my kids for 10 hours doing nothing so she sent us to go to Flight Connections. In order to do that we had to change terminals first we had to take a bus it was stuffed with people you could barely breath. We got to our terminal and we didn't know where to go to. It's so confusing in the London airport it was really bad. Once we got to the Flight Connections there was a huge line up no one could help us no one even knew if they took off or not. It was already 12:55 I told my mom that we missed it and to give up. We went to the bathroom and as we were washing our hands we heard on the intercom "The flight to Tel-Aviv will be bording aat Gate 27." We said at the same time they didn't leave! We ran 27 gates I felt horrible fron the flight and now running I felt even worse. We got there in time we were going to Israel. As we entered the plain we saw a difference the chairs were bigger nicer we were happy but we didn't feel good at all. We took off and then I and my sister threwup again then we fell asleep. It was a better flight but still bumpy. We didn't eat anything because of how we felt. We got delayed 25 min.
We landed. It was the first time in my life that no one clapped, no one kissed the ground nothing. So we dicided to start clapping we clapped but no one else did they just stared. We left the plain and there you have it 20 hours of travelling straight. But thats not the end of my story. We showed our passports and left to get our lagguge. We heard our names getting called on the intercom" Algom Iris, Hamburger Melody and Hamburger Eleane please come to the lost and found." We were all thinking maybe they lost our bags! We were really tired and could not understand because the woman sweared that they would come. I saw so may people there and they were really really mad. Some of there bags got lost. Some, they did not arive but they new where they were. When it was our turn they said they new where they were but that they did not arive. My mom was so mad and I was more mad because this was the worst trip I ever experianced. They said we had to fill up forms and that they would come on thursday and it was tuesday night 9:00 in the evening. Our friend was waiting for us there. She took us home and we left the airport. But in order to leave we had to give the ticket back. It wouldn't accept our card it was quite funny actually but then it did. So we drove and then got to her place. It was 10:00 she gave us some food and water. I felt much better. Then we went to sleep it was april 1. We slept till the next day. We woke up at 1:30 in the afternoon. We had no clothes so we went in our p.j's shopping. We bought some really nice clothes. Then we walked a little then we met my grandparents and had sushi it was really good. Then we drove home and here I am typing up my trip. I hope you have a good time because I am. It was 25 degrees today. Please write back I really want to here all your adventures.

Thanks for Listening. ( we have an 11 hour difference in time.)

Love Melody. Your classmate.

Sorry Mr. G.

hi guys do we have a hebrew test tomorrow.

RESPONCE TO LITTLE BOY

HI guys could you please comment on my poem

I like the poem the little boy because I think that it was fascinating at the end. Because the little boy's former teacher dulled his imagination. When the little boy got into his seat the teacher told the class that today we are going to draw pictures, yes said the little boy. "I like drawing pictures "so the little boy drew a picture but the teacher said wait, I will show you how to draw a flower with a stem. So the little boy liked his own so he decided to draw the teacher flower. Later in the years the little boy moved to another school and enjoyed his time at the new school. $$$$

RESPONCE TO FAT MAN

HI guys could you please comment on my poem.

This poem is about two men trying to hike up a mountain. One of the men criticizes the other man for the he looks, he wonders to himself how a fat man like him can get so fat and try to attempt to clime a mountain. When the fat man passes by he sees what is written on his tee-shirt, and fells ashamed of what he thought earlier. The point of this story is not to judge people by the way they look but by the way they are.

Response To Execution

Hi guys could you please comment on my poem

I can respond and connect to this poem because since the time I was born my grandma had past away from cancer. Not only did I never meet her but I never got to say goodbye. Sometimes my family goes to the cemetery and brings her flowers. Now, since my grandpa is lonely I often visit him and invite him for parties and dinners. We usually celebrate his birthday and his anniversary
at restaurants. One day I wish I could meet my grandma.



Response to someday

Hi guys could you please comment on my poem

I can not respond to this poem because I never experience playing a guitar and don't
know how to play any songs on a guitar. But I know how to make my own short songs that don't seem well. Maybe I could take guitar classes or ask my friends to tech me how to play or watch my friends play the guitar and ask them what is this note. Maybe one day I will know how to play a guitar and play other people songs or make up my own song.
