((Response to Maple Street's Monsters))

I read a very good story called Monsters are due On Maple Street, it is writen by Rod Serling and is from the zerie The Twightlight Zone. At the end of the story some alies said someting. What the monster said at the end of the story was...

Figure 2. "And this pattern is always the
same?"
Figure 1. "Whith few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they
can find and its themselves. And all we have to do is sit back and watch."
Figure 2. " Then I take this place... this maple
sreet... is not unique"
Figure 1. " By no means. The world is fully of maple
streets. and w will go from one place to another and let the destroy
themselves. One the other... one the other....one the other-"

Oh, this was freaky. What I think they were trynig to mean by saying that, is that they are going to go trough each part of the world doing the same things, and if the people keep fighting between each other and blaming other people the will destroyeach other and they will not going to move a finger. The lesson that the author has for all the world is: if you are on a problem don't fight because you'll end up distroying yourself!!

I think the same way asthe author. I think the author was very intelligent, form my oppinion hes message was totaly correct. this message at the end of the story is still very important and segnificant to the world today. I think this way becaouse people are on serious problems they still fight, go crazy, and use people other persons as their scapegoat. Countries are making wars, are assesinating people, and are doing terrorism; this happen because people dont have control on themselves and go crazy. Good job aouthor exelent message!

How could the play be updated for an audience today? Mmmm, I think that with the new divises that we have today like radars and all ofe that speciall electrodomectiscs make dificult for some alien come fron autersapace in a spacecarft without being noticed. Tinking of all of these, lets cahnge the setting to a little town in the middle of the woulds that wouldn't be so advansed so that the aliense wouldn't been noticed. With the light off I thing it it would damge all of the things cars, computers, cellefones, rations, light, things that work with batery, almost everything. Tomys source of his knowledge will be a tv program about the aliens dominating the world. These will be the changes that I will realize tto the play "Monters are do on Maple Street" to make it more interestng for an oudience today, because this play was made way before during the 1960´s(thats very anticuated).

Call of Duty 2

Experience...

One day I invited Sergio a friend to my house. When he arrived he brought with him a computer game it was called "Cal of Duty 2" (this is a shooting game of war World 2). He asked me if I want it, and I said "yes", I want to try it normally I don’t like computer games I am bad at them and for me they are complicate but, I want to at least try. Sergio grabbed his c-d and started instilling it on my computer and when it was ready I started playing it. I played a little bit and I find it hard I didn't like it at all. I told him that sorry but I didn’t like it but I also said to him thank you for installing it. At night Sergio went to his home. And at next day I said to my self "let’s try again!". So I turned the computer on and start playing my new game. I last time and time and when I realized I had liked it and it was late in the after noon. Every night me and my friends connect in the game and start to play together on a stage. When compete between each other, WE HAVE FUN PLAYING THIS GAME!

Game characteristics...

This game is very good because it’s very realistic and has very good effects. There is several game types like Death match or DM which is everyone vs. everyone another one is Team death match or TDM which is in teams (these are the game types that I most like). There are also other game types like capture the flag which consists to consists to capture the flag of the other team; Search and destroy which is very strange if you are German you have to protect some devices from Allies (which are British, Americans, Russian); and headquarters which I really don’t understand at all its and hard to understand, and really boring. In the Game you could be Germans, British, Americans, or Russian each team has different weapons. It also has several stages like Toujane and Matmata which are on Tunisia and are very simple. While, Rostov which is on snow this stage is very complex another stage that is very big is Brecout which is on grasslands. There are a long variety of stages but the ones that I have said you about are for me the best ones.

In conclusion I think this game is excellent. It is realistic and has wonderful graphics. I wish that you buy this game, and if you do I hope you have lots of fun with it and share it to your friends so that you can compete with each other and have fun with it!

Short story fraft::...;

"Hi," a Steve says to his best friend.

"Hi," answered Juan Carlos, "did you finish you math homework?

"Oh my god, thank you for remembering me, I forgot to do my 50 question math home work!? said Steve, "What will I do to finish it before my teacher Mr. Carl comes to my desk and picks them up!" .

"Steve its allways the same thing you forgotting your homework," said Julian

"But-" said Steve

"No Buts," Julian interrupted again, "Don't ask me if you want help. For the next time do it at home!"

Suddenly a bell rings for the 1st class; he grabs his stuff and heads 7a where hi will have his Spanish class. The class begins by reading a book (as normal) but Steve instead of reading a book, decides to take out his math book, notebook, and pencil and start doing carefully his assingment while others read. Later in the class they start presenting their book, The teacher was carefully seeing the students that they were paying attention to the person that was presenting, so he didn't had time to do more of his math homework. At the end of the class Steve had tried to reach his goal but he only had an opportunity to do 2o out of the 30 that he had proposed to himself to do.

The class of 45 minutes passes and the Religion class begins. " Come on, this is my last chance to finish my homework," Steve says. The class started by telling the story of Adan and Eva. "Oh, what borring," steve said. He starts doing his homework but he reach a part that he doesn't know what to do. He ask many classmates what to do? But many ansewered, "why are you doing that homework at this time, I'am not going to help you". He kept asking and asking until one of his best friends Juan Carlos a friendly, bondadous, and responsable person explaned the part of the homework that he wasn't able to do becouse of not paying attention in class. Because of this friend he was able to finish 20 questions more but this amount wasn´t enough it gaved him a total of 40 questions but the homework was of 50 and Math class was at 8: 40 and this time was reaching.

Minutes passed and suddenly the unexpected bell rings for a third time at 8:40 to announcing the start of the math. "No, what will I do, please god help me, I promise this won´t happen again," Steve said. He went to his locker, grabed the books that were needed for the class, and sat on his shair so he was ready for his class. He was nervous, ancious, and preocupated. The angry teacher, Mr. Carl was going trough the room, trough each table checking the math home work, when a sound is heard, "You little kid, you didn't do your homework you are going to have an F and go now to the principal's office,"Can you imagine who said this? Yes, it was Mr. Carl. Ten desks were left over until the evil teacher reaches Steve's desk. "Hurry up, think of some thing," Steve says to himself; when an idea comes to his mind. Quickly he copies the 10 questions from another student(this is a very bad thing to do, please dont do it if you dont want to have troubles). And when Mr. Carl had finally arrived to his desk he starts talkind to Steve.

"Did you finish your homework?" Mr. Carl asked

"Off corse, here they are from one to fifty", Steve Answered.

"Okay," Mr Carl said

Mr Carl continues cheking the homwork. "Fewww, safed by the bell, now I am not having a bad grade on my math class and I am not having a problem with the principal!!!” said Steve.

And for now and on Steve does his promise that he had said to god that if he finishes the homework he will do every single one that is anounced by a teacher for now and one. If you dont want to be nervous and in a hurry for doing a homework, here is some advice: Every time you have homework write it in a paper so that you remind to do it at your house and as a result you will succeed in your homework assignments!!

Me and my Broken Ankle

Had you ever broken your ankle? Well, me yes; It was Thursday October, 12, 2006, I was at school during recess playing soccer when I fell down I felt very bad and my left ankle hurt me a lot, immediately went to the nurse room. When I arrived she putted me some ice, and she putted me a tobiilera and gave me a crutch. When she finished I went to my class and I catch up the work that I had missed because of this horrible incident. When school finished my mother picked me up at school and she took me to the hospital. There Dr. Antonio Haidar looked my left ankle he touched it and he noticed that I had a broken ankle. Then he told me that they were going to put me a cast next morning at 9:30 A.M and I will have it for 2 weeks. That day I passed a very bad time it was very fastidious, It was very difficult to walk, and to take a shower. The most horrible part of all was that I was going to miss many soccer practices. Oh, what a bad experience.

Next morning I was at school and when the clock was at 9:00 my mom came to my school to pick me up; as you can remember they were going to put me the cast at 9:30 A.M and this time was reaching. When I got to the hospital the doctor wasn't there so I had to wait for him several minutes until he arrived. First I thought that putting you a cast will hurt a lot and will take like a 1hr but it didn't it didn’t hurt and it took like 15 minutes. When my ankle was ready my mom took me to the school. At school it was very difficult to go up the stairs, they were a lot of stairs! At school many person singed my cast and when the bell rang at 2:30, I went to my house.

During those 2 weeks everything was as they should. Everyone brought me the stuff that I needed and paid a lot of attention to me (this was a very good thing). When the 2 weeks passed I went to some physiotherapy; and when my ankle was ready, I continued my normal life.

A big Problem

Had you ever had a problem? Don´t say "that haven't happened to me"; everyone makes mistakes and has problems. I deal with the problems in many ways in good ways and some times bad ways. Well, I Use different strategies depending on the length of the problem. Sometimes I try to hide it if it is so big(that a a example of how to deal with a problem in a bad way), or reflect or ask question for myself (which is helpfulld) like: what happened? Why did it happen? And more questions. Other strategies that I use is telling my mom or dad about it, and say that I know I make a mistake and It wont happen again. I amgoing to tell you in the next paragraphs an experience that I had time ago.

Had you ever had a big problem and you don’t want anyone to know about it because you think you are going to be punished and you will pay the consequences of you errors? Me yes; it was a very bad experience and I wouldn’t like it to happen again. Several months ago 6 friends and I were on the pool of my building; we were having fun playing with chairs inside the pool, talking and more things, when someone threw a chair to the water, and it broke. All of us were very scared and we didn't know what to do; time passed and we decided to keep the secret and don't tell anyone about the happened. But how could we hide the chair and it broken leg so that nobody would find out that we broke it?

So we decided to throw the leg into the garbage, but what would we do with the other part the chair it was big and it didn’t fit in the garbage; so we putted in the roof of the 12 story building. We hoped that time passed and anyone will now nothing. We kept playing on the pool but very nervous that someone sees the chair and as a result we'll be in huge problems. Night came and every friend went to its home. That night as I very scared I almost can’t sleep. 4 or 5 days passed and my mom said to come here that she was going to tell me something important; I knew it will happen something bad. She told me that she and the building knew that we had brake the chair and that we would have consequences; we talked about what happened and why I didn’t told her the same day of the incident, I told her that sorry and that it wouldn’t happened again. After I had talked with her the entire situation she told me that we would have to pay it. Now I was in really big problems. I called each friend and told them that they already knew about the chair and that we will go to have to pay it. Some persons agreed and some disagreed but finally everyone putted money to pay it.

This time obviously I didn’t like this experience and I hope it won't happen again.

[[The Best Vacations of My Life]]

These were the best summer vacations I ever had. When my father told me about our next vacations it seemed like a excellent experience because of many reasons: it was going to be with three of my friend family; Miguel’s, Daniel's, and Luis Carlo's. I also knew that this experience was going to be unique because we were going to be on a cruise, and visit many places that I haven’t visit before. I couldn't wait for that trip and when the trip was getting closer, days were longer, and I was very anxious and time seemed to last forever.

And finally our trip was next day. That night we packed all things that were needed in our backpacks. I could not sleep I was very anxious and my friends to. When the sun went out I waked up it was 6:00 I could believe that the day of the trip had reached. Everyone take a shower, we ate break fast and made the usually routine that we usually make; as soon as everyone was ready we leaved to the air port. When we got to the airport there was Daniel and Luis Carlos Family; later Miguel got to the airport. Time passed and every family was now sitting on the airplane. There we were like 2 hours until we reached to the Miami’s airport. There we grabbed our backpacks and in a few minutes we divide into several groups: Miguel and Daniel in one group, me in another, and Luis Carlos in another; each group went into different airplanes but to the same destination Seattle.

They got to Seattle to Seattle, Washington; like at 1:00 am but we reached there at 5:00 pm. When we got to the air port of Seattle we had some problems with the transportation and we reached the hotel at 6:30; the hotel was horrible it even had a sign near it that said drugs and prostitution over this placed, y felt very scared. The other 3 family were supposed to be there, but they weren’t so we had to look at them so we took a public bus that was horrible too. It passed minutes looking for them, but we founded them. We (the four families) got dinner and take another time the public bus to the hotel. We slept early because the next day was the Cruise to Alaska.

The next day we went into vans to the place were we took the cruise. It was like a dream; the Cruise was huge it was very pretty and elegant and it all yours for 7 days. The first day we had a fire drill this was very important for our safety. Every one including my sister had its room carnet for entering. In the cruise we made many friends from every part from the world China, Europe, and 3 from Bogotá. If you looked from the Cruise window you may see icebergs and whales jumping. There were many activities from arcade rooms and fun factories, you could plat soccer, ping pong, basketball and other sports; trust me you will never be bored in a cruise. One of the best things of the cruise was the food you could eat whatever food that you want ice-cream, pizza, hamburgers, salad, sushi, and millions of food more; you could eat at whatever time even at 2 of the morning, and the amount that you want. It had like 3 pools but they were extremely cold because of the weather. We also learned some magic tricks on the night, the night dinners were very elegant and you should bring pretty dresses, shirts, pants, etc. days were very long because nightfall was like at 10:30 pm (it was very cold and windy at nights) It was so exiting that I prefer have fun in the cruise than seeing the world Cup 2006 matches. We made several stops on Juneau the capital of Akaka, there we got on a little car that left us in the top of a mountain, we also went to Ketchikan which for me was the coolest, we went in a boat to see whales and other sea animals this was a wonderful experience, and in Skagway were I saw snow for second time and saw wild bears. And in the 5th day we made the last stop to see the oldest glaciar. But every good thing has to end one day. It was a amazing Cruise, I wish to do that again!!


When we got to Seattle we spend 2 nights more in it while the other three families stayed one day and from that and on made another trip. During those days we visited the space needle, the airplane museum which was great, visit the public market, the first Nike shop. And we check out a car for going to Vancouver, Canada.

In the way of Canada was very long we had to cross a very log line for the frontier. We reached Canada at night and at soon as we got to the hotel which was millions of time better of the one in Seattle. Canada is a great place with lots of things it is very clean and there are very little poor people. I enjoy it very much. I had there a very hard experience that was to hike a mountain it took me 2, hours and when I reached its peak I was felt like dying. I was in there 5 days. And in the 6th one I took another airplane to Miami.

When I was in Miami the climate changed allot, it was really hot compared to Alaska's. There we shopped, went to the beach and few things because we were only there 2 days. As I have say you before every good thing ends and the 3rd day in Miami we went to the airport there we met Miguel and his family. And we both came to Cartagena together. When we arrived to Cartagena everything as before. It was the best trip I ever had in my whole life, I wish you could do the same trip as me and my friends, you would be fascinated!!!!
