B is for Boats
When I was almost turning eight I started studying for my boat licence test. I was nervous because if I didn't get I would be so upset. When the day of the exam came I was ready to succeed but in the pit of my stomach I had a feeling I knew I might not get it, but When I was called to right the exam I was ready. It started off with a few questions that were basically all common sense. Then the questions started getting more difficult, they were questions about if you pass a red buoy do you go left or right? But it depends on whether you are going up stream or down stream. Other questions were like who has the righter way if you are on the green side of the nose lights? nose lights are the lights at the tip of the boat that are red and green.
Two weeks later after the test they sent the results to my cottage, so the weekend after school we went up to my cottage. When we got there I saw that under the door was a yellow envelope instantly I knew what it was, before my dad could open the door I ripped open the envelope to find a platinum licence engraved saying Jordan Furlong licenced operator. I was so happy, finally, I got my licence. My dad still reminds me that it is amazing I got it when I was eight years old.
The weekend after I got my licence I went up to the cottage again. When I got there I saw a trailer that said Paris Marine Boating Company (PM BC). There was a guy standing by the trailer and he pulled the cover off of a new 9.9(power of the engine), blue, and shiny Fisherman Aluminum Motor boat. The minute I saw it I instantly wanted to take it for ride and I did. From then on the one thing for me to get away is get into my tinny (that's slang for Motor boat that is aluminum) and drive off.

G is for Gone
I am going to talk about my favorite book in the world it is called Gone. It is a series of books where adults disappear, gone right off the face of the earth and the kids are left to fend for themselves. Over the next two paragraphs I am going to talk about a book that was made to be a best seller. I will talk about the Main characters and the other not so important characters.
Do not worry I will not spoil the book I will just give names and what the area the kids are in is called it has nothing to do with the main plot.
The main character is a kid who takes charge his name is Sam who has a mother named Miss temple. I don’t remember her real name but Miss temple works (right people J). Then there is this girl who is the next up to main character her name is Astrid and she has a little brother named Little Pete but they call him LP for short, he is autistic. The next on the list would have to be Sam’s best friend Quinn they loved to surf together before the adults disappeared and they have been friends for a long time. There is this other girl who is kind of important her name is Lana she was driving in a truck when her (blank will not ruin story) was driving but that is all I will reveal. There are still bullies in this area their names are Orc, and Howard (who is only tough around Orc). Those are enough characters I will not give away everything.
Where all the kids are there seems to be a barrier blocking them out from the world so they named it the FAYZ (fallout alley youth zone). Strange things happen in this book and I think is a book worth trying if you haven’ t heard of it well you have now so go on out to the store and pick it up. They have two more sequels Hunger and Lies. This book means a lot to me because I think it shows that you never know when kids might be left to fend for themselves and someone just like 7B’s chapel is going to have to be a leader and take charge.
Life: be ready for anything
