Paper:
User Friendly
Kevin has a computer with a personality named Louis. Kevin has a crush
on a girl at school. He tells Louis about her. Louis starts to act strange. Louis
does terrible things to the girl’s family. Kevin’s dad shuts down Louis
because Louis is acting weird. Kevin finds a note from the computer that
says, “I will always love you Kevin: Louise.”
I think that it is sweet that the computer (Louise) loves and protects Kevin.
It really shows you how with love, anything is possible. Although, I think
that Louise takes protecting Kevin a little too far.
Annabel Lee
A man and a woman fall in love with each other. The woman dies and the
angels take her away. Years later, the man dies too. The couple is finally
together again.
I think that this is a lovely poem about how true love never really dies. If you
truly love someone, your love will last forever. I like how in the end, the two are
together.
Echo and Narcissus
A girl named Echo gets cursed and can only repeat what others say. Echo is in
the forest and sees a man named Narcissus and immediately falls in love.
Narcissus rejects Echo and then Echo dies of a broken heart. Because of this,
Narcissus gets cursed and can only love himself. Since he can’t be with himself,
he dies too. Also of a broken heart.
I think that this is a wonderful myth about how the echo came to be. This
myth really teaches me that true love lasts forever. Also, this myth tells me that
you need more than just food, water and shelter to live. You also need love.
The Only Girl in the World for Me
A boy likes a girl but doesn’t know how to tell her. He writes a note to the
girl’s friend and finds out that she likes him too. The two kids decide to go to the
movies together. At the movies, they find that they are very similar.
I think that this is a sweet love story that teaches kids that they will always
remember their first love. Also, I like how the story was told from the boy’s
point of view because while they were at the movies, you couldn’t tell if the girl
liked the boy too. You had to wait until the author wanted you to know.
Together Again
Sun and Moon grew up together. They used to always sit on the old, wooden
swings near the park. They would talk all day while sipping on Sunny-D. As they
grew up, they got closer and closer. They were together all the time. In eighth
grade, they finally became a couple.
“You’re always with Moon! I don’t feel like we’re even friends anymore!”
Sun’s best friend, Star shouted to Sun one day.
“Of course we are still best friends Star, let’s hang out this weekend,” said
Sun.
“No! I’m sick of this! It’s Moon or me. Pick one,” shouted Star.
“Well then I pick Moon. But, only because if you were a real friend, you
wouldn’t make me pick,” Sun replied.
“You’ll regret this Sun Shine!” Star hollered.
Star went home that night with revenge on her mind. She knew what she
had to do. She had to use a potion on Sun and Moon. A magical potion that would
never allow Sun and Moon to be together, ever. Star studied her book on magic
potions all night long, and all of the next day.
“Finally, at last, I found it!” exclaimed Star with excitement. She finally
found the perfect potion to use. “It’s payback time.”
Star gathered everything needed to make the potion. The potion was
supposed to be a purple color, but it ended up being a yellow-orange color. “Oh
But, how will Star get the two love-birds to drink the potion? Luckily, Star figures
out the perfect way to do it.
“This is going to be sweet,” Star says with great satisfaction.
Wednesday afternoon, lunch time. Star has study hall right before lunch, so luckily,
Star was able to get into Sun and Moon’s lunchboxes and slip some magic potion into
their Sunny-D. Unknowingly, Sun and Moon drank the potion. As soon as the couple
drank the potion, the wind pulled them apart from each other. It didn’t matter how
hard the two tried to get to each other, they kept getting farther and farther apart.
Star watches Sun’s struggle and cant help but laugh at her accomplishment. But,
while Star is laughing, something goes horribly wrong. Sun transforms into a
humongous ball of fire and shoots into outer space. After Sun is high in the sky, Moon
turns into a large, hard, ball of rock. He also flies into the galaxy. But, Moon flies in the
opposite direction as Sun did. They are thousands of miles apart.
“Well, I wasn’t expecting that to happen. Oh, well. They are no longer together, so I
am happy. Now I don’t have to deal with them any longer. ” Star exclaimed.
Star didn’t know this, but the school science teacher, Mr. Comet, watched the entire
ordeal take place. He went to the library and did some studies. He wanted to help the
poor couple. Their lives have been ruined, he had to do something to help them out.
Mr. Comet found that if he recited the line, “Sun and Moon together again,” fifty
times in a row, Sun and Moon would get to see each other occasionally. So, that night,
Mr. Comet went home and recited the line fifty times in a row. As
soon as he said “Sun and Moon together again,” for the fiftieth time, Sun and Moon
appeared before each other. Now, every year, Sun and Moon get to see each other
two to five times. It is what we call, a solar eclipse.
Sun and Moon talk and laugh all night long. When daylight comes, they both count
the days until they will be together again.
