“Sound Of Thunder”
On our SAFARI we went inside a tunnel it had a sign written on PARCHMENT that said “Do Not Enter” but we saw a FLICKER of light so we walked toward it. We heard a TWITTER of sound in the distance and it REVOKED us. The tunnel was very VAST and there was a bunch of little bugs TWITCHING in the light. There was SCABBLE carve into the wall with bunch of weird and unusual markings that I could not read. We started to walk towards the light when we heard a loud noise and we RESILIENT and WRENCHED back towards the opening of the tunnel and ran out.

The Big Split
Over the past 2 years there has always been “cliques” in the school. One teacher was determined to BISECT that problem, and put everyone as an equal. The leader of the clique has a bad TEMPERAMENT. The other one would TWITCH when she was angry. As many girls walked down the hallways they would do in it WARY of being insulted. It was like going on a SAFARI, you never know what could happen. Alex would always be called TWITTER mouth, because she talked a lot. Jenna would get called fatty because she was very VAST. The teacher knew this job would have to be EXQUISITE. The girls were in the middle of a cat fight when the teacher came in and gave the lights a FLICKER. She told the girls that there was going to be some changes. Which was a PARADOX saying, but the girls didn't care. He teacher had given up and still the clique goes on.

The Trip
Over the long summer, I went on safari trip. It was vast and exquisite. I spotted a weird looking animal. I followed behind it quietly. I jumped at it and throttled the dingo til it when down. I wrenched on the neck to make sure it was gone. We scrabbled all day looking for more exciting adventures. As he day went on and we got tired we temperamented about going back to camp to bisect the animals and eat them for supper. We walked around a little bit more than went back. We got back to camp and I sheathe then got ready for supper while the other men got the meat ready for supper. After we were all done eating and getting ready for bed, we didn't want the meat to get bad so we engulfed it with coverage

One day a boy named Jimmy was lying down in a vast field where the grass engulfed his body while on a safari. He was listening to the twitter of the birds. Suddenly some ants started crawling on the boy. He stood up a and was wary of hat he was going to do next. He decided to twitch to try to get the ants off of him. Then he began to annihilate the ants by stepping on them. Stepping on the ants wasn't working so he decided to unsheathed his sword to cut them. One time Jimmy bisected an ant in two.
Then out of the trees came a leopard and it pounced on him. Jimmy threw the leopard to the side and picked up his sword and got into a ready position. The leopard jumped and Jimmy cut him and the leopard died.
Jimmy was scared of the wilderness so he ran to his jeep and he drove off. When he got to the main office he revoked his money that he paid for the safari on account that he was attacked. The safari was responsible because they didn't make him sign any waivers on apiece of parchment.
Jimmy went home in good temperament knowing that he got his money back.

ReplyDeleteOne day peter wanted to go on a vast safari in a brand new jeep. Peter throttled up and sped across the long deserts which engulfed the area. Peter was not being very wary because of his location. Then suddenly there was a violent twitch and peter wrenched the wheel tight. But it was two late and peter and the jeep flew in to the air rolling and turing in the vast desert. When he awoke peters vision was finicky and his jeep was annihilated. Got up to find that a piece bisected piece of shrapnel was embedded in his leg. He looked around for and exquisite piece of metal to dig out the embedded piece. Once he got it out he stood up and started to think about how to get out of the desert. It surprised peter how resilient he was. Then peter remembered he had his cell phone but it was on the jeep so peter began to scrabble around in the dirt until he found it. He called in for help, once he found out that help was on the way he thought about how lucky he was that he did not die. Then for the first time peter remembered how subtle life was.
The class of 2012 was all going on a SAFARI in Africa out in the VAST open wild hoping to find gems. WARILY we all hiked into the VAST area. We built a camp that we would RESILIENT backto everyday after exploring. Some people went out to the creak fishing caught loads of fish, which we BISECTLY cut up. The boys built a fire so we could fried the fish. All of that night the fire FLICKER. The nexted morning we had to REVOKE our plans because it was raining so we stayed in our tents playing games. Every time it would thunder some of the girls would TWITCH. The next day we went out and went hiking trying to find the gems we saw lots of animals but no gems, but one of the boys got to close to a lion because he thought his skin looks just like PARCHMENT skin. Turns out he was wrong and the lion WRENCH onto his leg and took off with him we never saw the boy again we looked and looked but never found him. The next day we felt that it was time to end our SHEATHE case looking for gems so we pack our things and left.
