My Country

(Authors note: this is a short easea about why our country is great)

The theme this year for partitas pen is, are you proud of your country. There’s many good and bad things, actually there are too many to list. I hope you understand but our country is great.

I am very proud of my country and not just because I live here. There are some countries that have little forum of government or terrible economy, I'm not saying our economy is good but it’s a lot better than some other countries. We always win the wars that we have had. We make sure that the United States is a safe place to live, unlike some cities In Mexico that thousands of people are murdered every year. The United States has free religion rights, unlike some cultures that say you have to be our religion and if you don’t they just kill you.

Overall I think it’s safe to say, the USA is the best country in the world. Its save, its fair, there’s liberty and heaps of patriotism. There are some country that fear us, there are country’s that hate us, but at least they aren’t launching nukes at us or flying planes into more buildings.

Daemon hall pursasave letter!!

(authors note, this is a persuasive to wade in the book daemon hall about going to daemon hall.)

Dear, Wade

You’re known for being the only person in the history of mankind to not die when spending the night in daemon hall. My goal from sending this letter to you is not to make your question your decisions but to make you wonder, was risking my life in worth proving yourself something. I think that going to daemon hall was a waste of time over all although you didn’t know your hero was a daemon. Wade did you really think about Daemon hall before you went there?

However there were some good things, like proving yourself that even insanity can’t strand in between you. Also he didn’t die; well really your friends didn’t die either because after all somehow they did come back to life. Still there are many more bad things like, you could have died, that creepy jerk Ian still didn’t publish that’s most definitely the worst part

In the same manner, Wade do you think Ian Tremblen is a crazy? I known by the time you got into daemon hall and I seen what Ian looked like, you can tell by looking at him he was a weirdo. Although you can’t see he is a daemon just by looking at him you can tell when, his eyes start glowing, he is saying rimes about you dying and how you are going to die. Also nobody has any idea of what happen to Ian for all you know he is planning his next move to kill you and your friends. Although he is most likely dead still you never know he is a daemon.

Most importantly what did your family say? They could have wanted to murder you, or they could have been happy because you are alive. I would not tell my parents what happen because they would be very scared. What did your friends say at school? They might fear you now because you’re a great writer and not scared of anything.

Taken as a whole I think going to daemon hall was not worth it. Think about it, almost killing yourself for a book, that just doesn’t seem worth it. Who cares about proving that you are not going to go insane? Do you think it was worth it. I wonder how terrified you where by the end of the night you must have been on the verge of going insane. We can all tell by your reactions it obviously was not worth it!

Have you ever wondered why an author has done something? Well so do I, there are some major questions I have about the book, The Perl by John Steinbeck.

The first major question I have about The Pearl is why did Kino kill the pore doctor. Think of it the doctor could of healed there kid but no they had to be stubborn. After all there kid did not die from poison. What did the doctor do to them he just needed money and they had a very fine Perl, yea the doctor wouldn’t take it but they could work for them or something. After they killed him they could of taken some supplies but they where dumb and didn’t.

Furthermore why did you run think of it nobody found out that killed the doctor, you could have staged his death and lived a nice life. You would have a kid if you would of stayed now look at your life running from the trackers. Coyitito would have had a long happy energetic life.

Lastly what did Kino and his wife do wrong. First of all they thought too much of their child Coyitito yes their child would be better off being healed but was it worth risking their life and her sanity. Did they really have to run, yes and no they could have been killed if they were caught but it’s better than life on the run hiding from everything. Kino wanted too much of everything he wanted his life to be perfect in every way.

Overall this book was the worst book I have ever read. I don’t think anybody would recommend this book to somebody they hate because reading this book is plane terrible. There is little action in this story even though it’s a tragic story. This story also has little description in some points and then an over lode of unimportant things. So there are some major flaws in the book The Pearl

Authors note: This is an easea about why the characters in The Pearl did what they did.
