WHAT JAMESTOWN'S FLOOD DID TO US


When I say us I don't just mean my family and I. I mean a big part of Rhode Island. If you could see my neighbors yard you would be like OMG! By the way my neighbor is the senator. Jack Reed. That's right. My neighbor is the senator of R.I. and he represents the U.S Congress. But anyways that's not the point. If you could examine these pictures down below you should be like WHOA! And you know this flood has been the biggest flood in over 100 years. Or some people say biggest flood EVER but I must speak the truth so I can't say ever. Maybe in Jamestown because, man you should see Providence.
PICTURES=LATER, SORRY

THE FLOOD 2

Okay well lets just say the second time my mom made me go outside things were better and worse. Better= We got a lot done. Better= I didn't complain as much. WORSE= My pants fell down 4 times. WORSE= Some of the water came back. My yard was like a water slide. But it didn't just have water it also had mushy dirt spread across my yard like butter on toast. Anyways lets just say I'm glad the worst of it's over and I'm inside editing my blog...

PICS OF THE FLOOD





Well it doesn't look as bad because we got rid of 406 gallons of it but here is the remainder...

THE FLOOD

Today, my basement made me work several hours just to get 406 gallons of water out. We still have another 94 gallons to go but hey, it was treacherous. It first started with me thinking it was fun... My brother and I were throwing buckets of water at each other. It was so wet outside that my tennis court was like a swimming pool, my hair was so heavy it stuck to my face, we had a leak in my ceiling, our clothes were just sopping and right outside of my basement a pond had formed. We had miniature rivers across our whole entire backyard, and the inside of our basement was up to my ankle. My pants were drenched with water, same with my coat, and I had to help my family scoop gallons and gallons of water for hours. I can still take pictures but it might be raining now. I am done for now with this crisis, but hopefully will not have to return to that black hole outside and inside. See the rain went on and off, like a light switch except it took a lot longer to turn the switch back off. After a while I started to get tired, exhausted, and hungry. I had asked my mom if I could have a lunch break but she said we should get it done. I'm lucky that she even allowed us to stop now. We had buckets and buckets of water we had to carry in and out. But my mom also used this weird machine that sucked up water. 16 gallons of it. Near the end of this disaster of our basement we just decided to lift the bucket instead of using several smaller buckets to get the water out of the large one. I will see if I can get pictures of what happened and hope you will enjoy. I bet a bunch of people went through this but out of all them ours was definitely the worst...

This has been recorded to be the worst flood EVER.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Well "Alice In Wonderland" has gotten outstanding reviews, (in my opinion) some others think not. Mia Wasikowska (Alice) does a good job doing the movie. She has that shy but fierce personality in the movie. Personally I think she did a outrageous job at being the character ,Alice in the movie. Anyways Johnny Depp on the other hand did "outstanding" too. I'm not being sarcastic but I think he got a little to much credit just for being in several others. He played his roll well but, recently there has been a release of a Wii version of "Alice In Wonderland" and Depp is on the cover of it,not Alice too. I think there may be different covers but I think no matter what Mia should be on EVERY cover the industries make. But lets now get settled on Anne Hathaway. First off, I think she can change her emotions so much, in every acting part she gets. So in this movie she plays more of a gentle, kind spirited person. But in all truthfulness I think maybe she could have been seen just a tad bit more in the makings. Helena Bonham Carter is like Meryl Strep in the "Devil Wears Prada".But just more frighting in general, not in the "fashion world". She plays the evil Red Queen, the opposite of her sister, the white. She is looking for Alice and asks Crispin Glover to hunt her down like dogs with police men. The soldiers (card people) are with Glover searching for Alice when Alice runs into The Mad Hatter (Depp) And hides in a teapot until all is clear. Anyways then they run into a dog that is threatened to serve justice to the Red Queen or else his family dies. So then Alice gets trapped in the Queens castle, no one knowing who she really is. Until further notice Alice gets out and goes to the Hathaway's castle. She needs to defeat the Jabberwocky which is a very, very interesting creature. I would rather not want to go into further details. Once she slays it she then unforchunately leaves "Wonderland" and hopes to see them again soon.
I did not describe what happened before wonderland but she mainly was on her way to a wedding or reunion or something and said I'll be right back, falling into a giant hole and changing into different sizes.

BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 3

CHAPTER 3

I walked back to my house in a hurry but to me felt like many of my life’s years were passing. When I stepped in the house my parents asked me where I had been. I responded in three words. I don’t know. They wondered how I could not know, but I told them I was serious. They then forgot the whole subject and just served me some pancakes and bacon. I headed off to another day of school. I couldn’t just believe that I actually called it school. Life didn’t seem different but yet it did.

CHAPTER 2: THE DISCOVERY

CHAPTER 2

School was as not fun as it always was. It was always something that I hated. School is supposed to be fun because you have friends but I have none. I think you’re at least supposed to have one friend in school. But that’s different for me. I went in class and took my seat. Today we were learning about how small molecules are and what are they. I liked learning. I just didn’t like the way kids were treated sometimes by other kids. You think that I’d be friends with one of the other kids that get’s mistreated but I’m not. I think it’s so mean that kids don’t include people or call people not popular. Popularity is just a way of “fitting in” or “being cool”. But when you’re in high school fitting in sounds terrible to me. Kids put you up to stuff and sometimes stuff other kids wouldn’t want to do. “Okay so has everyone thought of what they would like to write about for their projects?” I guess I dozed off. “What projects?” I blurted out. “Were you day dreaming, Elissa? “I guess so, sorry Mrs. Weston.” “It’s okay but please stay after class and I’ll fill you in.” “Okay Mrs. Weston.” Sounded great to me. I wouldn’t have to go to lunch! That means no more people teasing me, for today. So after class Mrs. Weston explained to me were doing a project about something you think you would want to change in schools. I thought that was excellent because I could do my project on popularity and how other kids mistreat other kids! I know that sounded weird but for the first time in years I was actually excited to do one of Mrs. Weston’s projects. I charged out of Mrs. Weston’s room and ran into our next class. It was Mr. Cabroki’s. He was the fun science teacher who let us learn about cool science and do cool assignments. Today we were learning about how grass keeps growing. “Well class I hope you had fun learning about this scientifically cool class. “Hey Mr. Cabroki?” I asked hoping he would respond. “Yes Elissa?” “Oh, I was just wondering is nature a real spirit?” “Elissa why would you ask such a question, the answer is no.” “Of course it is, sorry Mr. Cabroki!” Elissa noticed how he wasn’t even looking at her the whole time he was talking. She still believed nature was a spirit and she thought maybe he had something to do with it... Elissa rode on the bus every day except when well she didn’t feel like it. She walked a lot when she didn’t feel like riding the bus. “Hey Elissa how many times do you think you’ll trip?” “Let’s count, 1,2,3,4… “Knock it off.” Yelled Bradley Simmons. “What are you goanna do about it, huh Bradley?” “This”. Bradley punched Zack right in his stomach. “Mrs…. Mrs… and Zack just lay back in his seat. “Wow, thanks Bradley!” “No problem.” responded Bradley very confidently. “Bradley stared at Elissa. Elissa looked forward. When it was Elissa’s stop she got off and went into her house. How cozy and warm her house was in the winter. Bradley walked off in a different direction heading towards his house which was also nice and pleasant in the wintertime. “Dad I’m home!” yelled Bradley munching on some fruit snacks. “Son why are you home so late?” “What do you mean dad it’s only… 4:30!” “I don’t know maybe the bus driver lost track of time or there were more kids on the bus?” Meanwhile when Elissa got home, she could barely walk. Her legs sore and felt crumpled like a piece of trash. I headed up to my room and started to read the book we were assigned. I also wrote my other assignment and gently closed my eyes and feel asleep. I dreamed of a wolf. The wolf was oddly colored looked sort of blue but had black, brown, white, and red streaks across his body. He looked so different from all the other wolves I had seen. I wanted to pet him. But I knew it was just a dream. I saw another animal running towards him. It was my dog Eager. They played together like best friends. I wondered why. I kept on staring at the wolf as if my house exploded or my hair set on fire. I guess my dream was like a movie because I was watching it not really in the dream. I woke up by a startling shake. When I awoke completely I saw my mom in front of me saying “Wake up, wake up Elissa”. I then got up got dressed, had some cereal, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, and finally got organized for what I called the underworld. I trotted off to school. I felt like walking which like I said before I either have to leave early or run fast! I got to school five minutes early and headed off to my first class. It was Mrs. Weston’s. I had started the project on how people in schools should not exclude people or call them “not popular”. I had gotten a really good start on it and a really good point of view. I sort of explained a lot about how they do mean things to people and what they do. Mrs. Weston took one look at it and told me that I was doing superb. She said that was a great decision I made and a great topic to do my project about. I left class feeling magnificent about my success. The next class was NOT Mr. Cabroki’s but Mr. Chimming’s. He was the really nice math teacher .Mr. Chimming’s was muscular and tall, He was also different from all the teachers for a couple of reasons. Number one: He was young. Number two: He had a lot of hair and it was brown. Number three he always dressed business like. Number four:He always carries important supplies with him like a pencil. Now let’s talk about Mrs. Weston. Mrs. Weston was pretty old. Mrs. Weston did have a usual amount of hair. Mrs. Weston was pretty darn boring. Now onto Mr. Cabroki. Mr. Cabroki had dirty blond, longish hair. He had black medium sized glasses like Mrs. Weston’s except hers were skinny. Mr. Cabroki tends to wear vests a lot. Yellow, blue, red, brown, you name it. He was very peaceful, like a hippie sort of. Mr. Chimming’s taught history. “Okay class today we are learning about spirits, does anyone know any?” “Yes Elissa?” “Mother Nature?”, “Very good!” “Anyone else”…

After that class I felt like Mr. Chimming’s believed in spirits.

I dreamed of another dream about that same wolf. Except this time someone else was sitting next to me. I squinted really hard and noticed that it was Bradley. Why was Bradley sitting next to me? Why was I having several dreams about this wolf? Why? I woke up not so startled this time because I had this dream so many times already. I took a step and realized where I was immediately, in the woods.

CHAPTER 1: THE DISCOVERY

Chapter 1

She sneered. She sneered and laughed in a tiny whisper so the teacher wouldn’t, hear her. But I did, and that’s all that matters. I was the new kid and the lamo. She was the bratty and popular one. Honestly I didn’t care about fitting in, and the only friends I had were my dog Eager and my older brother Luke. She laughed at when I slipped on the cafeteria floor. She laughed when I tripped in the hallway. I never laughed at her. I couldn’t. She was always to perfect and I thought there never even was such thing as being perfect. When I got home I needed to rest and even though I had a Language Arts essay due tomorrow I didn’t care. I usually was the intelligent one. Who got A’s or B’s. But this day I felt more like sleeping then getting my hand sore. It was a wintery day, cold too. The snow fell gently on the ground as if there never existed such a thing as grass. It covered the trees looking like there never existed such a thing as bark. It was beautiful I thought. Indeed it glistened and shined. I tried to count the snowflakes falling but there were too many it was impossible. I would make a whole photo album about snow. I can. So I did. I took out my camera and put on my boots and coat and I trotted outside. I looked around and it was truly amazing. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I took one shot right where my favorite tree was. As the image showed up on the screen of my camera it was brilliant. I insisted on another and then another. I took photographs of my footprints, the snow that lies on the ground, and yes the snowflakes. I went inside and finally did my essay. Then I had dinner. When I went upstairs and peered out my window it seemed like a very quiet evening. The skies were no longer blue they were black. Luckily the stars still shined brightly. There’s something I didn’t have to complain about. I guess nature was my friend too. I love nature. Another hobby I loved was photography. I got my camera when I was 10 and I’m still ten. But I have about 400 shots of nature and my family on there. I have pictures of the trees green in summertime and part of spring. I have now pictures of the snow and the wintery trees. I also have pictures of the red and orange trees changing in autumn. I must have a lot of memory to hold about 400 shots! It got dimmer and dimmer until you could only see the stars shining like I said before. I looked up at them and decided that I would take some pictures of them. They were like gigantic balls of light or a light bulb. But when we look up at the stars they look microscopic not humongous. I took a shot of what I thought looked like the brightest star. Then I took a shot of the biggest star then the smallest. This day felt so long to me. But I knew tomorrow was just another hideous day at school. My brother wasn’t there to protect me he went to a high school. I was in the 8th grade. So I still had 1 more year until high school which is actually supposed to be worse than middle school. I then shut my overhead light off and my reading light off. My overhead light was half broken. So I used both lights. I lay in bed for 5 minutes then gently I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I dreamed of a wonderful world where nature was a person and my brother dog, and me were all happy together. We were in a meadow it was summertime. My parents laughing and us laughing. Us running and them talking. Nature making flowers bloom and letting us pick the roses to give to our parents. It was amazing. Then out of the blue a wolf came out of nowhere. It didn’t hurt us it just played with us. My parents were scared at first but them they warmed up and so did the wolf. We played for awhile then went home and had supper. I awoke. Startled. I wondered why there was a wolf. I wondered why nature was a person. I wondered why it was summertime. I wondered a lot
