A New Ending


Author's Note: I chose this as my predicting piece because I thought it was pretty well detailed. Also because I liked this story a lot, and thought that I would bring this story back up.

When he made his way out into the world, he had just realized that the women who he had tried to steel her purse, just gave him 10 bucks. He was deciding what to do with the 10 dollars he had just gotten. He wanted to get the suede shoes he wanted, but when he realized that Mrs. Jones just changed his point of view on life, on people. As the days went by Roger thought about the 10 dollars more and more, he kept wondering why she had given him the ten bucks. Was it because she felt bad for me? Was it because she didn't want me to get in any more trouble? Or was it because she wanted him to be a successful. We will never know for sure.

He felt bad for taking the 10 dollars from the women, he wanted to repay her by getting her gift. He decided to go to the store and get her a bracelet. It was maybe 3 weeks later when he finally returned the favor. He walked up to her house, knocked on the door and when she opened it he said hi, remember me? She replied with a faint answer of yes. Well if you remember the time when you gave me the 10 dollars, this is to repay you for this. She asked why are you giving me this bracelet? His response was you changed my point of view on life, and you have changed my life, I am not steeling anything anymore. This is just my way of saying thank you. He started walking away, as he was, Mrs. Jones just kept staring at him. And they never saw each other again.

There's A First For Everything


Author's Note: I decided to write this story because it was actually one of the better days of my basketball career, I'm saying this because I usually get yelled at during basketball. It was one of the days I will never forget. Make sure to pay attention to how me and Haylie became closer just by basketball. 
It was the first day of basketball try-outs. There was a lot of people trying out, a lot of which I knew. There was this one girl who stood out, at least to me. It was the first time I was seeing this girl. Everyone seemed like they knew her. I was really confused, so I went up to Kenzie; one of my friends and asked her if she knew who she was. Kenzie replied with a yea, thats the new girl from Arrowhead that our coach was talking about. Just as I was going to reply the coaches blew their whistles and said that the try-outs were going to begin. We were in line getting our numbers, when I said my very first words to Haylie. I remember saying Hi, my name is Becca, I hope we get to play together.
We got our numbers and the coaches told us to line up in number order, as we were finding out the order, I realized that I was 2 people away from Haylie. As usual they split us up into even teams. They didn't know what Haylie was like, whether she was one of the better players or one of the not so good ones, so Haylie and I got put on the same team. For me the tryouts were the same as they always were, for Haylie you could tell that at her old school she did something different then us. We got started right away and after a little bit of playing time with Haylie I could tell that we were going to be on the same team. 
When we were about to leave the tryouts one of the coaches told us that we would not find out the teams until the following week. So we all waited and waited and waited until, we finally got the packets we were all waiting for. The moment of truth was going to be revealed, would we be adding a new teammate and losing one, or will we be the same old team we are known for. I opened my packet and read Congratulations Becca Groer you have made the Pewaukee black team. As soon as I finished reading mine, I turned to Haylie to ask her what team she was on but I figured out the answer immediately, I could tell it was good because she was jumping up and down with excitement. 
It wasn't too long after finding out the teams that we had our first practice. The first time being together is always the worst and the best practice. It's the worst because its the first time being with your team and coaches; its the best because all you basically do is go over simple drills. Haylie caught onto the drills pretty quickly, not saying that the drills are like rocket science, but it took me a couple of times to perfected them. It only took Haylie 2 or 3 times to get them perfect. Once I saw what Haylie can do with a basketball, I knew that we were going to be even better then we were the previous year. 
It's a couple years later now and Haylie is still apart of our team, she still is one of the better players on our team. Haylie will have a good future playing basketball and I hope that I will be able to play with her in high school. Haylie and I can help each other out with more stuff and make each other better. I hope we will play basketball together for a while.

The Voices


Author's Note: I wrote this prediction because we had to. Also because this is what I thought was going to happen in the end of the movie. 

What I think that will happen is that the kids will figure out a way to tell someone-- like another teacher or the principal, so that the teacher will get in trouble. I think that it is going to end like that because I have a gut feeling that the teacher will get in trouble for having such a creepy thing in his classroom. Cause I feel like the teacher always gets in trouble. 

My prediction was was incorrect, because the teacher didn't get in trouble. But I still do think that is going to happen, because as I said before I feel like the teacher always gets in trouble.

Crazy, True, Sad and Happy


Conflict: The main conflict in Heaven is for Real is that there is a little boy name Colton who is going through a pretty rough time. This would have to be a person vs. self because it is him and something in HIS body there for making it be person vs. himSELF! He is not yet 4 years old and his appendix irrupted. There are many conflicts in this book such as the fact that his parents didn't know what was wrong with Colton, until after about 20 hours of miserable pain, they took him to the hospital. He was throwing up consistently, and he was like in a daze the whole time; it was caused because of all the "poison"   leaking out of his appendix into his body. 

Resolution: The resolution here is that his parents got him to the hospital just in time, to get the "poison" out of his little body. I guess you could say that he was one very lucky duck that he is still alive. He must have been very brave also because he had to go through surgery, if it was me I probably wouldn't have gone through with it, even though it means life or death. To me the real main resolution here is that the doctors got the "poison" out of him and was able to safe the kids life!
