Color Coded Essay


In this essay I’m writing about the products that kids want to buy! When one person gets the new product everyone wants it. Every one wants the new cool gadget! When products have more features, kids want them more! Let me tell you why!!

When a person gets the new product everyone wants it! If one person get the new iPod and shows it to all of their friends, then their friend start to want it. Then their friends get it and show all their friends, and soon the new iPod is the biggest product sold!

Everyone wants the new cool gadget! When the first iPod came out everyone wanted it because it was new and cool but now its old news. The iPad is the new cool gadget. The new cool gadget back then is old news to us.

When products have more features kids tend to want it more! For example, the iPod touch had all the application features and kids really want it. Each new computer has more features than the old one so kids want the new one. Now televisions are three dimensional which is a big new feature and a lot of people want it.

In general kids want to buy products that, everyone else has, the new cool gadget and the product with the most features.

Letter to Future Grandchildren

Dear Grandchildren,
I am living in 2010, and I want to tell you about my life now.
My average day, where I go to school might interest you. My house, and whats inside it will be much different than yours. And last, the technology, which will be a huge shock to you! I hope you enjoy learning about my life in 2010.

My average day isn't that special, but you may find it interesting. I get up at around 7:30, and I get ready for school. at 8:20 I usually arrive at school, and then I learn for approximately 7 hours, from 8:30 to 3:20. Then, my mom picks me up and if I don't have dance that day I sometimes have a friend over or go to someones house. When I get home I normally have something to eat, then start my homework. Once I'm done my homework I usually go on facebook and skype. After that I eat dinner, then go on the computer for a while more and text, I shower, eat something, then at around 10:00 I go to bed. My day may be a little different than yours, but I think there are probably some similarities.

My house, which is probably not nearly as nice as yours, will grab you for sure. It has three floors: a basement, a main floor and a top floor. The basement has five rooms, the office (where we have the computer), the den (where we have air hockey and ping pong), and the laundry room are probably the most used on that floor. On the main floor we have the kitchen, dining room, and a play room for my younger brother. Upstairs is where we have all four bedrooms and a bathroom for each of them. We also have all our books in another room upstairs. Now that you have explored my house you can learn about technology.

Last, but not least, technology, the most changed thing. When you hear about my technology you will think it is ridiculous! One of the newest pieces of technology is something called the Ipad. It is a touch screen laptop made by apple. Another new item is 3-D TV's. They just came out last month, but are not the best quality yet. You probably have much better technology than that, but that is what I have right now.

Now that you have heard all about my life, maybe you can compare it to yours! You have heard about my average day, which is probably a little like yours. You have gone through my house and all that's in it. And, you have learnt about my 'old fashioned' technology. Since you have got the experience of reading about your grandma's childhood life, you can write something to your future grandchildren!

My Simple Essay

My Indecisiveness Essay

I find that it can be very hard for me to make decisions at times. Usually I cannot make up my mind because I keep finding positive reasons about all the things I am deciding between. I get frustrated when I cannot make up my mind and people are pressuring me. I discovered that all this indecisiveness business began with my great, great, great grandpa Joe. Clearly, I am a very indecisive person.

When it comes down to making decisions, I find there are positives to everything, which make decisions very hard to make. Like, for example, yesterday I was trying to decide whether or not I should choose my favorite teacher for the subject of my essay, or my favorite place. I kept finding positive reasons for both subjects making decisiveness impossible. In the end, I did not choose either of them. Finally, I chose this topic - my indecisiveness.

I get frustrated when I cannot make up my mind. It is like my body is fighting itself. The frustration increases when people start pressuring me. When they pressure me to make a decision, it influences my decision and I do not like the feeling in my body when that happens.

I was talking with my mother yesterday and I discovered that my family has a long history of ancestors who are indecisive. It started with my great, great, great, grandpa Joe. He was trying to decide which chicken farmer to purchase chickens from. All of one farmer’s chickens were cheap and ‘crappy’ while the other farmer’s chickens were expensive and good quality. For some reason it took him a very long time – months in fact – to make his choice. In the end, he bought the cheap and ‘crappy’ chickens. When he ate the chicken, he got serious food poisoning and died on spot. So it has passed that every single generation after him got disease of indecisiveness. All the way down to me.

As you can see, I am truly indecisiveness. I get frustrated when I can’t make decisions and I know where I got my indecisiveness. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I didn’t have to carry that burden on my back.

Dogs are great pets!

Do you really want a pet? Are you having trouble deciding between a gold fish, a dog, a cat and a hamster? Well, you don’t have to wonder any more because I’m going to tell you why you should get a dog. Dogs are the best pets. They are protective, give you companionship and help you get exercise. Does a gold fish do that?

Dogs are the best bodyguards. They always protect you and their loud bark keeps robbers away. Dogs sense danger and will warn you if something bad is going to happen. My dog used to bark when people got too close to me, and the only time my house got robbed was when my dog wasn’t there. He always kept the bad people away.

Dogs are the best pets when you are lonely. They are like having a friend with you. They always give you love, and great company, they cuddle you and entertain you all the time. They are even better than people because you can boss them around and they don’t even mind. A study was shown that old people that have dogs live longer than old people without dogs, because they are happy and have a friend to talk to and play with.

Dogs are great for exercise. Dogs are better than treadmills, you run/walk a dog to the park, then you play with them in the park, then you even play with them in the back yard. With a dog you do a lot of running, falling, jumping and chasing. So if you ask me you do a lot more exercise with a dog than with a treadmill.

Dogs are great pets they are protective, great companions and make you exercise. Dogs are the best pets in the world.

How to Help a Family Affected by a Fire

When a tragedy happens in a neighborhood, especially a fire, everyone wants to help. The big question is how? There are different levels of how you could help. You could send food, raise money, or even let them stay in your home.

Sending food to a family who just suffered a traumatic event is an amazing mitzvah. When a family has just encountered a blazing fire, sending food may no sound like much, but it is. You could send a fruit basket, vegetables from your garden, home baked cookies, or maybe even a warm lasagna.

When a family has just lost their home to a fire, every penny helps. Maybe the family doesn’t want to seem like they need money, but if you were in their position you wouldn’t be throwing your money around. What you can do, is raise money from the whole community for the family. Then the family wouldn’t feel the need to ask for money.

When a house gets burned down, the family obviously doesn’t have a place to sleep. A great way to help, is offer the family your home to stay in. Even if you don’t have a very big house, it doesn't matter. When you offer your home, you are showing how much you care for the family in need. And that’s all that matters.

Now you know a number of meaningful ways you can help a family in your neighborhood, if they are in a fire. Tragedies happen, and we need to learn how to help make them better. You can send food, raise money, or even let them stay in your home until they are recovered. “Treat you’re neighbor as you would want to be treated”.

Why Travel to Disney Land?


If I could travel to any place around the world I would go to the ‘Happiest place on earth’ Disney land. Going on the fun rides, meeting the Disney characters, visiting Disney land during the night time. This all sounds like a dream come true!


As you probably know, Disney land is an amusement park. Therefor, Disney land has loads of scary, relaxing and fun rides! You will always be able to find a ride you like, weather its an upside down roller coaster (like, California screamin’), a water ride (like, splash down mountain) or a soothing/young child ride (like, ‘its a small world’). One of the highlights about the rides are that they are themed around the Disney: movies, T.V shows or characters.


You have seen the disney character in movies, T.V shows and musicals, now its your time to meet them! When you enter Disney land you will get the one in a life time chance to meet all the character’s. There are many tourist attractions in disney land where you could meet the disney characters for example: Goofy’s kitchen, minnie&mickeys houses or even during a parade.


Everything at night is taken up a notch and especially in Disney land! They have parades, fire works and more! The candy/ice cream shop is opened for an extra hour and the rides are NOT crowded! But, the BEST part is going on California screamin’ at night. The ride is lit up, not crowded (well not AS crowded) and there is wonderful music playing in the background!


As you can probably see, Disney land is a great place to travel to. With all the unique rides, silly characters, and the exciting night life, you will always be having a fun and busy day. I think the ‘Happiest place on earth’ is also the best place on earth!

Dani's colored Essay

Mrs. Hinskie was a teacher of mine in third grade at Bormblume Solomen Shecter School. She was one of my most memorable teacher. She looked like no other teacher and her personality was the same. When she taught you, you knew you would never forget the material or the look on her face when you finally got it right. She was my favorite and most memorable teacher and in this essay I will explain.


Mrs. Hinskie had a way of dressing that no other teacher could pull off. She always wore either silk shawls and jeans or a nice shirt and gauchos. But of courses with turquoise cowboy boots. She had thin red hair that was always at her shoulders and some bangs. She had very pale skin with freckles and a tattoo on her ankle. She was in a car crash before my family knew her and she didn't have there fingers on her right hand. Most people would stare but I just was so used to it I didn't even notice. She could pull off just about anything with her style and personality.

With her personality some people would say mean but those were the people who didn't know her. She have a very dry sens of humor and was strict sometimes but not unless you were on her bad side. She was very accomplished and was proud of it. But most of all she was feisty. To this day I can see her arguing about how she should be able to wear jeans. Her personality was unique just like her teaching.

Mrs. Hinskie's teaching method was different than all of the other teachers in all of my schools. When you read a book you took a A.R. test and you would get points. To get a good grade you needed many points. That's were the prizes come in. If you were in the top three points you got a prize. Darleen is Mrs. Hinskie's dog who would sit in a chair in the back of the room . Darleen was a teaching tool when you got something right you could take care of her for an amount of time. We the class would try to be the best so we could take care of Darleen. She would reward us with different objects and activities like the prize box, Darleen, and art.

Mrs. Hinskie was a great teacher and friend she was kind, humorous and strong headed. Those are the qualities that I love about her. She dresses like no other teacher and I have never had a teacher who teaches quit like her, and I don't think I ever will.
