I am a turtle, and i believe people should not hurt or hunt me. I think people should instead kiss me. This way there are more turtle lovers in the world. My second reason is that turtles are cool. The reason they are cool, is they poop out babies. This way there are more turtles in the world. In conclusion, if you don’t stop hunting or hurting turtles, we will find a solution ourselves. THE END.

Setting: Train
Character: Shirley Bobalina
One day, Shirley Bobalina, a “Fancy Diva Pig” was on her way to a wedding and stepped in a mud puddle. Her dress got dirty and she went bananas. She went on the train to go to Lincolnwood Mall and get a new dress. The shopkeeper turned her away and said “No pork products allowed….unless dead for my lunch.” She felt devastated and started crying and had a temper tantrum. She went to the garbage to pick herself up. She put on mud for makeup, and the tears running down her snout made her look goth. She put on a garbage bag for a dress. She felt confident and gothy and got on the train to the wedding. She arrived and the guests said she had to be the chef because the chef didn’t show. The bride and groom pushed Shirley into the oven, put an apple in her mouth and made the delicious wedding. And they all lived happily ever after…except Shirley. THE END.

I think the world should have zero gravity.
1. If your kite gets stuck on a tree, you will be able to get it by flying.
2. If you are falling from a cliff, you can float up and stop yourself.
3. If you are in an airplane and it is going to crash, you can just float out.
In conclusion without gravity you can save yourself from danger.
THE END.

I believe that I want my streets to be quiet and peaceful. And I don’t want no fighting or gun shots. If my street was peaceful, me and my friends could play outside and play jump rope. If my street was quiet and peaceful I would be less bored because I could go outside instead of having to stay inside. If there were no arguments on my street I could say hello to my neighbors, I could hang out, and then go back outside and have fun. That is why I believe my street should be quiet and peaceful. THE END.
