my best friend

My best friend is Tony Marcello. we met in second grade and have been best friends ever since. Tony moved to here from Italy in the summer before second grade. we became best friends when he sat next to me in the first day of second grade. He didn't have a pencil the first day and i gave him one of mine and exchange he gave me this amazing Italian candy. He has very good morals and volunteers at the animal shelter once every week. He is very nice and is always going out of his way to help people.Tony has is 5 10 now with light brown hair and tan skin from his Italian heritage. He also has this amazing Italian accent that sounds very sweet. he speaks fluent English and Italian. When ever someone meets him they like him right away because of how he is so outgoing and is up for anything. Tony is also very athletic. he plays many sports and is good at all of them. The sport he likes the most is lacrosse. he is the captain for his team. It is fun going out and watching him play and listening to his pregame motivational speech. Besides sports Tony is also very smart. he competes in the knowledge bowl every year. he has one it 4 out of the last 5 times he has competed. He is a straight A student with a 4.0.

Tony is definitely not Egoist or Egotist because all he cares about is other people and doesn't care what he gets out of things and doesn't say how good he is at things. Tony is definitely Altruist because of how he just cares about helping others and not himself. Tony is also very athletic and smart. Another characteristic of Tony is that he is Extrovert because he is always happy and full of high spirits. All these characteristics are why Tony is my best friend.

my earliest memory

My earliest memory was on a average day and it was sunny outside. My family was level out our yard because it was slanted downhill and we wanted it to be flat. My father was working on putting up a retaining wall to hold all of the dirt up that was going to be put behind it. There were plastic tubes sticking up in the yard that i'm not sure why they were there, but my brother and i deceided to make the best of them. since the ground was all dug up there were rocks and everywhere, we dicided to try and through the rocks and try to get them in the plastic tubes.

My big brother and i were trying to get the rocks in the tubes for a little while and i picked up this piece of concrete that i thought was a rock and I threw it eventhough my big brother was standing right by it. The rock went flying through the air and i thought it was going to go in but insted it hit my brother right in the forhead and split it right open. All of a sudden my big brother was crying and i didn't know what happend untill i saw the red gusshing blood pouring from his head. My parents came rushing over and my mom was hysterical when she saw all the blood. We then stopped everything that we were doing and my dad went and got paper towels and we went and hopped right in the car and headed for the hospital.

when we arrived at the hospital my brothers head was still bleeding pretty bad. we were took right into a room with a bed and alot of machiences and it was very clean. my dad was busy doing paper work while my mom was comforting my brother. A lady came in and started working on my brothers cut and cleaning it up. After she got it all cleaned she then told my parents that the cut needs stitches since it was so big. The lady then left and came back with a tray carring a shot, thread, and a neadle. She then gave my brother a shot to numb his cut. Then she put the stitches in my brother crying the whole time. After that she put a bandage on it and then we had to wait a long time before we eventually could go home.

Treasure Island Imagery

The book I read for my outside reading was Treasure Island. The literary element used heavily by the author was tone. First I believe that the author used this element so much was because he wanted to give you the feeling of that it was you on the adventure right along side the character.

Another reason why the author used so much imagery was because of the time period it was written about. since the time period was very early the author used the imagery to give you the sense of what things looked like and how people acted. The last reason the author used so much imagery was because of where the setting was. Since the setting was on a remote island, that few people have been to, the author needed to describe what it was like through the use of imagery.

outside reading

I am reading treasure Island for my outside reading project. I am enjoying this book so far. I got right into the book because of what the books characters and story where about, which is pirates. The main literary element in the story is imagery. This is pretty obvious because of how the author describes everything in great detail with the use of imagery. i believe the book was written in this manner because of how people didn't live in the time where pirates existed so the authors uses the imagery to give you a sense of what it is like. I'm not sure yet of what the tone is yet because i haven't gotten that far into the book yet.
