Kiegan McGovern 5/7/2014   The Slenderman Have you heard of a man who is eight feet tall? He collects the children so I am told. He has no face at all. He has long arms to take you away so behave my dear. The Slenderman is here He came for me today. But he just wanted to play. So I felt bad for the poor man. So I played for the Slenderman today. He’s very nice once you know him. The time I spent was fun. But like always my time had come for me to go away. And the Slenderman was saddened that day. So if you meet him don’t be afraid. He only just wants to play. But if you die don’t be mad the slender. Will be saddened for you. So if you see him do not fear. For if you do, he’ll be scared too. And he’ll think he is a monster. So don’t be afraid Slenderman.

Kiegan McGovern 5/5/2014   Pd.7 Reading Ch. 14   Of Halo The Fall Of Reach

As the Convent ship is damaged from its fight with the UNSC //Commonwealth// Master Chief finds an opportunity to destroy the Convent ship and give the Commonwealth a chance to escape the area. As soon as he informs Dr. Halsey (who refused at first) his plan he and his Spartans find a way on the Ship with three warheads on Sam, Kelly (Master Chief’s friends), and of course Master Chief. Once they boarded the ship they fought with the Convents, and at the end of it all one of Master Chief’s closest friends couldn’t leave the ship because his armor was damaged. In my opinion not the best chapter but it was sort of good.

Kiegan McGovern 4/24/2014   Pd.7 Halo The Fall of Reach I just started reading this really cool book called: “//Halo: The Fall of Reach//” and I have to say it’s one of those books that I get attached to and I begin to imagine what is going on in the story, if you would like to know what on earth I’m talking about here’s a summery. In this story humans have now begun to live on hundreds of planets all of which we call “home” the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) Struggle to control the many planets, after exhausting all of their strategies to keep interplanetary civil war from happening the UNSC has one last hope. In the Office of Navel Intelligence, Dr. Catherine Halsey is hard at work on a top-secret program that might just end the conflict, and it all starts with seventy-five children and among those children lies a six-year-old boy named John. No one thought that this boy would actually be humanity’s final hope against a large hostile alien race focused on destroying us all. The story I have been talking about is John, Spartan 117 (AKA the Master Chief.)

Kiegan McGovern 4/22/2014   All my fan-made characters These are my fan made characters or my OC’s (Original Characters) so here you go:

Souless- a fallen angel wolf who had a adopted sister named Faith, Souless used to have raven-like wings and was very good at flying unfortunately after she failed in one of her missions her wing were teared off and Souless was forced to watch Faith die in front before her eyes were damaged, when she fell however she found a mask, when she had it on she could she everything without the trouble of her blind eyes she now lives alone as a lone wolf.

Blitzbeat- also known as Darkbeat she was a orphaned on the same day she was sparked, this transformer was soon taken by the asylum to be evaluated, it was the asylum that had named her Blitzbeat, after twelve years she was deemed sane and was soon sent to the orphanage where her model (if your human it would be like plastic surgery her spark or lifeforce was just moved to another frame) was changed, she spent about two years in the orphanage before she was adopted by a field medic named Ratchet and soon was given two brothers as well sadly she died during a war protecting her planets core her remains were never found.

Today I was doing a test on prefixes and suffixes and I ended up with a 95% on my test. The reason I didn't get 100% on the test is because I put the wrong word in one of the questions. I'm not the best at prefixes and suffixes so it was a miracle that I got 95% on the test.

Dear Mom,

If you are wondering I didn’t do my English homework well I don’t know how to say this without making it sound like an excuse but I will do my best in telling you why I didn’t do my homework. Well I was planning on doing homework believe it or not but I didn’t know how I was going to type the two paragraphs, so I thought ‘perhaps if I do my other homework and come back after dinner I can get some ideas on what I should be doing.’ So anyways I got my other homework done and a few minutes after that ate my dinner, but when I got back online I didn’t see any other posts on the blog so I assumed (I wasn’t trying to be a butt mom but yes I assumed) that no one was going to be doing homework or there wasn’t any to begin with so I know that this will be a problem if this continues so I am very sorry and it will never happen again. Thanks for reading, Kiegan McGovern

Kiegan McGovern Pd.7 4/14/2014

Ms. Duncan’s class I just went on a blog of other 7th grade students and if I had to rate these students blogs I would say it’s a four out of ten. The main reason…THEY DIDN’T SPELL CORECTLY OR CAPITALIZE!!!!! Also the quality of the way the children were commenting on others was horrible mainly because they talked as if they were texting their friends (my class is better then that we talk like normal people talk.)

Kiegan McGovern 3/18/2014   Pd.7 I am Different I’m not like other girls. Some obsess over boys and popularity, some want to stay in a large crowd, and others care about fashion, but the few who think about other things like grades, anime, and other crazy things to do. We are known as ‘tomboys’ and we wear that nickname loud and proud we do things that girly-girls wouldn’t ever try, we love to do things that might consider us weird in other peoples eyes. So tomgirls accept the fact that you’re a black sheep in a large heard but we can come together and become amazing. I am never going to like a ton of songs about love I really hate them (Mr. Tasty and savant for life!!) but I will not hate my friends who like those songs it makes me know more about my friends and I like to learn more about them. I accept the fact that I am different.

Kiegan McGovern 3/12/2014   Pd.7 Mad Girl All around me are familiar Voices Familiar places familiar Faces. I hide myself to not here the torment. It drives me crazy, it drives me crazy. But I find it quite funny yet also very sad. ‘cus the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve always had. I don’t know how to tell or how I can take this. But when I’m running circles I’m a very very Mad girl, Mad girl I used to wait for the day I felt good happy birthday! Happy birthday, But now I feel like everyone should sit and listen, Sit and listen, when I got I was very nervous no one knew me, no one knew me. Well hello teacher please tell me what’s my lesson, you looked right through me   You looked right through me. But I find it quite funny but also quite sad. ‘cus the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve always had. I don’t know how to tell you or how I can take this. But when I’m running in circles I’m a very very. Mad girl, Mad girl.

Kiegan McGovern 3/10/2014   Pd.7 Similarity and Difference Between the Movie and the Book //__“The Outsiders”__//

The difference between the movie //__“The Outsiders”__// and the book //__“The Outsiders”__// is that in the movie they had skipped out a lot of details the book had like the part where the Socs. jump Ponyboy and when we first meet Darry and Sodapop. It also made the hospital scenes seem strange because in the book it describes Johnny in a bed for all those scenes but in the movie he is in a strange thing the makes him faces downwards.

Kiegan McGovern 3/6/2014 Pd.7 I’m Sick and Tired

I’m sick and tired of being thought of as a short fuse. “Oh leave her to die it’s worth it to try to help her.” It’s always the same sentence just changed a little here and there. “I’m a lost cause eh? Well keep thinking that soon you’ll see.”

Well I’m not going to help you after you fall. I wont even try to help you up. I wont ever say the things you said to me though. ‘cus I want you to think you have me fooled.

Now after your life had turned upside down, You still found it funny to drag me down. But when you tried to you only saw a flash and then… Pure blackness.

I told you I wouldn’t help you up when you fell. I would never even help you get back up. I never said any of the things you called me to you though, But look at you now just my little bloody puppet.
 * evil snicker*

Kiegan McGovern Goodbye It seems that today I have made a fool of myself again… Yet I have always continued on pretending to be happy. But…I feel cold and want to feel nothing tonight. Man in Moon help me tonight for I wish to go away into your night. If I’m hurting or I’m sad will I stay or will I go? I forget how to tell do I even know? Please tell me what is wrong. Will a pill make it right? I have so many questions but the sun is rising fast. If I make that one move then there is no more going back. Because my world will change and I will be oh so still. Will my family miss me? Will my friends morn all day? All these questions in my head never seem to leave. I don’t want to leave because of these questions. But something in my head says, “Do it quickly.” I do not wish to leave but there is no place for me. I’m a nuisance leave me be but do not leave fully. This problem in my head is worth more then my life. So I believe this is goodbye I’ll tell the dogs you say “hi.”

Kiegan McGovern 2/27/2014  …

As you see me everyday. You’ve never said “hey.” I don’t know why that has bothered me. If you ask me about my grades I always said “the same” These tests bother me so Ah!

You were a quiet man. But seemed so loud. You gave a smile that radiated everyone. Everyone but me I always wondered why? But decided I wasn’t important.

So when you saw me there alone in a small room. You looked so worried. But I was giggling, at a picture that I had drawn in third grade Ah!

When you saw me smile and laugh without a care you looked so unhappy. And noticed I had tears in my eyes. When you asked me what was wrong I said “nothing at all” But you looked right through my lies.

When you noticed one day I did not come that day. You seemed to be worried. Someone came into the room and stood there crying. She held a handful of flowers. Soon you had realize and started to cry you knew I wouldn’t come back Ah!

As all the days went by. People soon forgot that day. But you never had forgotten me. As you sat next to my vacant desk. Someone had asked you “how are your grades today?” You soon remembered my exact words. You soon had replied, “My test scores are the same.” You knew how much they bothered my so Ah!

… One day while walking you saw a black book. And you had recognized it right away. It was the book I wrote in to hide my heart and soul. And you took it home with you.

Soon home you ran upstairs and started to read it what you had found was strange. You saw all my plans and my dreams to fly you even saw why I had done what I did. I did it for my family and it was so hard to just take that jump. But when I did I had thought of you. You had always had brightened my day. Even if you had never smiled at me I would be smiling right at you.

After you finished you felt like crying. You hadn’t ever meant to. You soon had begun to speak. “I smiled for you everyday.” That’s when I spoke to you.

“You might ask me about my grades they are still the same.” “These tests still bother me so. Hey don’t you cry for me I know you can hear me.” “You are a great friend to me Dark.”

Kiegan McGovern 2/26/2014   Pd.7 A strange father problem
 * Note this is a dream I had it is not real

It’s a normal Saturday for me I wake up before my big sisters and mom was wide-awake after getting a new job. She started working mornings again and got weekends to spend with my sisters and I, after Grandma and Grandpa passed away our roommate Miss Kim had taken our small dogs and moved to live with her parents so Kylen my oldest sister got Miss Kim’s old room leaving me to share a room with Kieran. “Good Morning Mom how are you? How was work?” I ask grabbing myself some breakfast. “I’m ok and work was… interesting.” Mom replied sipping her coffee. “Interesting? How?” I ask while cooking some pancakes for breakfast, it was also for Kylen and Kieran so they wouldn’t have to fumble with their own breakfasts.

“Guess who I had to give medical attention to, here’s a guess his name starts with a P.” Mom spoke in an angered mood; I didn’t need to guess whom it was to make her angered it was my dad, he must of gotten work here and fell off something or electrocuted himself. “So how did Dad manage to hurt himself this time?” I ask, this has happened before so I wasn’t surprised; I finally finished the pancakes and set a plate down for mom and a few more plates for Kylen, Kieran, and myself mostly because I knew they were waking up in a bit.

I motioned mom to sit next to me and eat the pancakes I set for her, as soon as she joined me she told me what happened. “They told me that you’re father had hit a fuse box with a crowbar, the idiot.” Mom said finally eating her pancakes “the novice you mean right mom?” I speak out, Mom only smiles and gives me a side-hug since we were sitting next to each other.

Soon, I noticed that my sisters were waking up and smelled the pancakes I made them. “Good morning sleepy heads, get some good sleep after work Kylen?” Kylen had just started to work in a hospital, she only stays to help mom pay the bills and take care of Kieran and myself. “Not to bad Kiegan, hey did you make breakfast?” Kylen asked, I nod my head in response and give a good smile. “I figured since you guys were busy with your jobs I would make breakfast.” Everyone smiled at me; Kieran patted my head and went to get herself some of the pancakes.

“I will say this once and say it again Kiegan you are going to be a great cook, oh! How are the Easter chocolates coming along?” Mom asks me; ever since Grandma had died I was being payed as a chocolatier by an unknown man. “They are coming along nicely Mom I’m almost done with the Tiger Butters and Caramels.” I reply and then chuckled to myself; I am only 14 and I have my own paid job! “At this rate people will definitely want to buy you’re chocolate Kiegan.” Kylen said, starting to eat her pancakes.

I was about to start another topic up when suddenly I heard some faint knocking, now curious as to who would try to order something at this hour I soon get up from the chair and walk towards the door. When I opened the door I saw a man I have only seen in a game… the man’s name is Altair. When I saw him I was so confused but decided to ask him what he was doing here. “Can I help you sir?” I ask in a kind voice, He looked a little confused but then spoke “um yes hi is this the house of Susan McGovern?” He finally answered.

I looked at this man ‘//he has to be kidding right?’// But I didn’t have the heart to tell him a lie so I yelled for my mom to come to the door, but when I said ‘Mom’ he flinched a little. “So why did you need my mom Mr.?” I ask him. “My name is Altair and I didn’t know Susan had a daughter.” He replied “well she has three to be exact I’m the youngest but you realize that you were knocking on my business door right?” I return he looked like it was the end of the world. Soon my mom came to the door to see the strange man “can I help you sir?” My mom asked politely. “Uh yeah are you Susan McGovern?” He asked again. “Yes I am Susan and I see you have meet my youngest daughter Kiegan.” She replies I wave and ask him to come inside.

As soon as he comes inside he sees Kylen and Kieran and begins worrying about something. “So what brings you to my home Altair?” Mom asks Altair, he wasn’t surprised at all when she said his name. “Well for one thing see you and also I come with… some news.” He replies. Mom flinches and gets up from the chair. “Kiegan, Kylen, Kieran get to your rooms and close the hallway door, Kiegan you’re going to have to keep you’re shop closed for a bit.” After she gives that order we nod and I first lock my business door then grab my Alaskan malamute puppy and follow after my sisters to our rooms closing the hallway door in the process.

“Kiegan can you spy on them with you’re secret spot?” Kieran asked me I immediately nod my head and head over to the entrance of my secret spot, my sisters and I had found this spot when we were younger and manly used it to sneak into the kitchen at night for snacks when we couldn’t sleep. I soon start climbing into the tunnel like area until I reached a small room with a vent. I had used this small room for eavesdropping and other things. Soon I was able to hear their conversation.

“Altair you can’t be serious on what you’re saying!” I heard my mom exclaim. “I am positive Susan I never lie and I am never wrong which is weird.” Altair replies. “But… how is this possible you were never around when they were born!” Mom was now angered with Altair. “You said they were born on these days correct?” Altair replies holding a small piece of paper in his hands and continued “at these times the Apple Of Eden started to glow when I touched it, it felt like I had pricked something my bet is it had traveled to you’re children’s blood I know it sounds silly but you have to believe me.” He finished, I was there and was very surprised but waited a little longer then mom had spoke again “ok Altair I believe you but I’m doing a blood test to be sure.” Altair nodded knowing that she would say something like that.

I decided that I had heard enough of the conversation and started to climb out of my secret room and soon went to my room to tell my sisters what I had heard. “That’s crazy Kiegan!” My sister Kieran exclaimed. “I know but it’s what I heard from the vent.” I replied, we soon heard our mom saying to come back out. As soon as we enter we see that Altair in now sitting on a armchair with a coffee in his hand he soon notices me then smiles I don’t really know why he did that though.

“Kids something has happened.” Mom begins I start to realize that it could be a long explanation so I find a spot on the floor right in front of Mom’s arm chair my sisters do the same thing and place themselves next to me. “You’re father may not be your real father girls. So to be sure we are going to call him to get some DNA samples so today we’re going to the place and you three will give the doctors you’re blood and they will test it to see if Altair is your father ok?” Mom soon finishes explaining the plan and waits for us to start protesting but we were up to it. “If this is what we need to do then what are we waiting for Ma?” I ask jumping up and soon running over to the kitchen to get some leftover chocolate for Altair. “Here these are leftovers from yesterdays shift you are permitted to have as much of it as you want.” I say very happily.

Altair was hesitant when grabbing the tiger butter I had made but when he bit into it he loved it instantly. “Wow! These are good Kiegan thank you!” he spoke then gave me a smile. “Your welcome Altair…wait should I call him ‘Dad’ Mom? Or call him Altair?” I ask her very confused now. “If the tests come back and he and you three’s blood match then you call him your father but for now call him by his name.” Mom replied taking a piece of the chocolate, I was about to shrug and take a piece myself but then it hit me “what are we going to tell Dad? I mean if we need a DNA test he will probably think that you cheated on him from the beginning!” I was thinking out loud and I had a point to it all and Mom knew that “if he tries to hurt us then… Kiegan you know how to use a knife right? I know that Kylen and Kieran do.” I nod my head and show her a medium sized pocketknife that I had in my jeans pocket. “Ok if he tries to hurt or even try to kill us then pull them out for self defense ok girls?” We all nod our heads and get ready to leave.

(Time Skip) We soon arrived at the place to test the DNA (ya know that show that ya go on for a test? Well we were there.) And were soon met by our angered father, my hands slowly went into my pockets for my knife. “Well girls I hope you’re still my kids after this misunderstanding is cleared up.” He spoke while trying to hide his pure anger to hit us, which was a big surprise to me. “Well if they turn out to be my kids I hope there is no hard feelings ok?” Altair stuck out his hand for my dad to shake but was only scoffed at. “What’s wrong with him?” Altair looks at me for an answer “well he has a anger issue it runs in the family I guess.” I look down at the ground and hoped this would be done soon.

It was a while before the entire place was filled up and the cameras were set but we all were patient, soon we were told that we were on in five minutes. Those five minutes felt like hours but I didn’t complain soon we were told to go on the stage. “Welcome back to another Marry Show today we are testing a divorced family to see if this man is the three young lady’s father” the man pulled up a picture of my father. “Or if this man is” he then pulled up a picture of Altair. “Welcome ladies and gentleman, now Susan you say that this happened yesterday?” My mom nods her head “yes Altair came to my door yesterday to talk to me about this.” The man nods his head in understanding “I see and who are these young ladies?” He soon stares at us “well this is my youngest Kiegan, my middle Kieran, and my oldest Kylen.” He smiles “well then let’s learn this story.”

(Time Skip…I’m lazy deal with it.)

“Well now that was interesting but now we have the results.” The man was soon given an envelope with the DNA results, by that time my father was in a separate chair and Altair was siting next to me. “When it comes to 14-year-old Kiegan, Patrick you are not the father. When it comes to 17-year-old Kieran Patrick you are not the father. And when it comes to 20-year-old Kylen Patrick you are not the father!” Every time the man said that my dad wasn’t my dad he would scream in anger. “Now that that’s over Altair…when it comes to 14-year old Kiegan you are the father! When it comes to 16-year-old Kieran you are the father! And finally when it comes to 20-year-old Kylen…YOU ARE THE FATHER!!!” Everyone in the studio cheered with us and my father left the room cursing along the way soon I screamed at the top of my lungs “I have my dad again!!!” After that I hugged Altair. “I will never leave you girls again. I promise.” Altair soon hugged me back and the rest of my family did a group hug, while the audience just stood there awing at the hug then started to hug random people to spread the affection. We soon left after the show ended and walked back to our car, and as soon as we got in I started to ask questions

“So are you going to teach us how to do parkour?”

“If your mother allows it.”

“Can we mom?”

“Sure.”

“Yay!”

Yep that’s how that went but it wasn’t bad to be living with Altair it was really fun we even had gone to his time for vacation once it was cool because I didn’t need a passport to get in. But, this was truly a strange father problem. word count:2280

Kiegan McGovern 2/25/2014   Pd.7 What’ up with that?!

What is up with people wanting attention? Do they think that pretending to be depressed with make them popular? Or do they think it will make people sorry for them? Over the weekend I was listening to this vocaloid song (that’s a Japanese anime techno music type.) it was called “Wanna Die” in the song the singer is talking about people pretending to be depressed she is trying to cheer them up and make them look on the bright side of things but after trying over and over she gives up after they say “let me be and let me die.” So she finally snaps and tells them “so you wanna die? Go ahead and die then! I don’t think anyone will realize you dropped dead!” she sings this in the second chorus. I agree with Miku (the singer in this song) that people shouldn’t pretend to be suicidal, manly because there are people who really are thinking about suicide or about to try to. Soon after she sings the chorus she sings this “if you don’t wanna die live with all you’re life. Don’t give up on your life.” This is directed at the people who are actually suicidal to not take their lives. But seriously to all you fakers stop thinking your depressed ok!

Kiegan McGovern 2/24/2014 Pd.7 My Family Crest

//‘I have to live up to my family name’// it’s something I’ve always thought, but it’s hard to do so when you feel like the family disgrace. But I have always kept my head up high. I am called a great person for my optimism but I never have any for myself…it’s for the people who really need it. But I don’t need my optimism. I have the peacefulness of the moon, the war habits of the sword, and the eagerness of the hawk. I have the free spirit of the eagle and the cleverness of the fox…I will keep moving just fine. word count:110

These are good Kiegan thank you!” he spoke then gave me a smile. “Your welcome Altair…wait should I call him ‘Dad’ Mom? Or call him Altair?” I ask her very confused now. “If the tests come back and he and you three’s blood match then you call him your father but for now call him by his name.” Mom replied taking a piece of the chocolate, I was about to shrug and take a piece myself but then it hit me “what are we going to tell Dad? I mean if we need a DNA test he will probably think that you cheated on him from the beginning!” I was thinking out loud and I had a point to it all and Mom knew that “if he tries to hurt us then… Kiegan you know how to use a knife right? I know that Kylen and Kieran do.” I nod my head and show her a medium sized pocketknife that I had in my jeans pocket. “Ok if he tries to hurt or even try to kill us then pull them out for self defense ok girls?” We all nod our heads and get ready to leave.

(Time Skip) We soon arrived at the place to test the DNA (ya know that show that ya go on for a test? Well we were there.) And were soon met by our angered father, my hands slowly went into my pockets for my knife. “Well girls I hope you’re still my kids after this misunderstanding is cleared up.” He spoke while trying to hide his pure anger to hit us, which was a big surprise to me. “Well if they turn out to be my kids I hope there is no hard feelings ok?” Altair stuck out his hand for my dad to shake but was only scoffed at.

 * Note this is a dream I had it is not real

It’s a normal Saturday for me I wake up before my big sisters and mom was wide-awake after getting a new job. She started working mornings again and got weekends to spend with my sisters and I, after Grandma and Grandpa passed away our roommate Miss Kim had taken our small dogs and moved to live with her parents so Kylen my oldest sister got Miss Kim’s old room leaving me to share a room with Kieran. “Good Morning Mom how are you? How was work?” I ask grabbing myself some breakfast. “I’m ok and work was… interesting.” Mom replied sipping her coffee. “Interesting? How?” I ask while cooking some pancakes for breakfast, it was also for Kylen and Kieran so they wouldn’t have to fumble with their own breakfasts.

“Guess who I had to give medical attention to, here’s a guess his name starts with a P.” Mom spoke in an angered mood; I didn’t need to guess whom it was to make her angered it was my dad, he must of gotten work here and fell off something or electrocuted himself. “So how did Dad manage to hurt himself this time?” I ask, this has happened before so I wasn’t surprised; I finally finished the pancakes and set a plate down for mom and a few more plates for Kylen, Kieran, and myself mostly because I knew they were waking up in a bit.

I motioned mom to sit next to me and eat the pancakes I set for her, as soon as she joined me she told me what happened. “They told me that you’re father had hit a fuse box with a crowbar, the idiot.” Mom said finally eating her pancakes “the novice you mean right mom?” I speak out, Mom only smiles and gives me a side-hug since we were sitting next to each other.

Soon, I noticed that my sisters were waking up and smelled the pancakes I made them. “Good morning sleepy heads, get some good sleep after work Kylen?” Kylen had just started to work in a hospital, she only stays to help mom pay the bills and take care of Kieran and myself. “Not to bad Kiegan, hey did you make breakfast?” Kylen asked, I nod my head in response and give a good smile. “I figured since you guys were busy with your jobs I would make breakfast.” Everyone smiled at me; Kieran patted my head and went to get herself some of the pancakes.

“I will say this once and say it again Kiegan you are going to be a great cook, oh! How are the Easter chocolates coming along?” Mom asks me; ever since Grandma had died I was being payed as a chocolatier by an unknown man. “They are coming along nicely Mom I’m almost done with the Tiger Butters and Caramels.” I reply and then chuckled to myself; I am only 14 and I have my own paid job! “At this rate people will definitely want to buy you’re chocolate Kiegan.” Kylen said, starting to eat her pancakes.

I was about to start another topic up when suddenly I heard some faint knocking, now curious as to who would try to order something at this hour I soon get up from the chair and walk towards the door. When I opened the door I saw a man I have only seen in a game… the man’s name is Altair. When I saw him I was so confused but decided to ask him what he was doing here. “Can I help you sir?” I ask in a kind voice, He looked a little confused but then spoke “um yes hi is this the house of Susan McGovern?” He finally answered.

I looked at this man ‘//he has to be kidding right?’// But I didn’t have the heart to tell him a lie so I yelled for my mom to come to the door, but when I said ‘Mom’ he flinched a little. “So why did you need my mom Mr.?” I ask him. “My name is Altair and I didn’t know Susan had a daughter.” He replied “well she has three to be exact I’m the youngest but you realize that you were knocking on my business door right?” I return he looked like it was the end of the world. Soon my mom came to the door to see the strange man “can I help you sir?” My mom asked politely. “Uh yeah are you Susan McGovern?” He asked again. “Yes I am Susan and I see you have meet my youngest daughter Kiegan.” She replies I wave and ask him to come inside.

As soon as he comes inside he sees Kylen and Kieran and begins worrying about something. “So what brings you to my home Altair?” Mom asks Altair, he wasn’t surprised at all when she said his name. “Well for one thing see you and also I come with… some news.” He replies. Mom flinches and gets up from the chair. “Kiegan, Kylen, Kieran get to your rooms and close the hallway door, Kiegan you’re going to have to keep you’re shop closed for a bit.” After she gives that order we nod and I first lock my business door then grab my Alaskan malamute puppy and follow after my sisters to our rooms closing the hallway door in the process.

“Kiegan can you spy on them with you’re secret spot?” Kieran asked me I immediately nod my head and head over to the entrance of my secret spot, my sisters and I had found this spot when we were younger and manly used it to sneak into the kitchen at night for snacks when we couldn’t sleep. I soon start climbing into the tunnel like area until I reached a small room with a vent. I had used this small room for eavesdropping and other things. Soon I was able to hear their conversation.

“Altair you can’t be serious on what you’re saying!” I heard my mom exclaim. “I am positive Susan I never lie and I am never wrong which is weird.” Altair replies. “But… how is this possible you were never around when they were born!” Mom was now angered with Altair. “You said they were born on these days correct?” Altair replies holding a small piece of paper in his hands and continued “at these times the Apple Of Eden started to glow when I touched it, it felt like I had pricked something my bet is it had traveled to you’re children’s blood I know it sounds silly but you have to believe me.” He finished, I was there and was very surprised but waited a little longer then mom had spoke again “ok Altair I believe you but I’m doing a blood test to be sure.” Altair nodded knowing that she would say something like that.

I decided that I had heard enough of the conversation and started to climb out of my secret room and soon went to my room to tell my sisters what I had heard. “That’s crazy Kiegan!” My sister Kieran exclaimed. “I know but it’s what I heard from the vent.” I replied, we soon heard our mom saying to come back out. As soon as we enter we see that Altair in now sitting on a armchair with a coffee in his hand he soon notices me then smiles I don’t really know why he did that though.

“Kids something has happened.” Mom begins I start to realize that it could be a long explanation so I find a spot on the floor right in front of Mom’s arm chair my sisters do the same thing and place themselves next to me. “You’re father may not be your real father girls. So to be sure we are going to call him to get some DNA samples so today we’re going to the place and you three will give the doctors you’re blood and they will test it to see if Altair is your father ok?” Mom soon finishes explaining the plan and waits for us to start protesting but we were up to it. “If this is what we need to do then what are we waiting for Ma?” I ask jumping up and soon running over to the kitchen to get some leftover chocolate for Altair.

// The Outsiders // Essay Questions


 * 1) Ponyboy says about Darryl, "He's hard as a rock and about as human." Explain this simile. Use other evidence from //The Outsiders//. **

The simile “He’s hard as a rock and about as human.” Means Darryl is hard to get along with. First off, Darryl’s personality is mean and cold so he rarely shows any emotion and is almost unfeeling. Second of all, the main character Ponyboy doesn’t seem to get along too well with his brother Darryl mostly because Darryl says all the time that he needs to use his head even though he himself doesn’t use his own head.


 * 2) Compare and contrast two characters from //The Outsiders// (besides Darryl). Better essays contain more inference. In other words, it's better to write about that you have to figure out, like personality traits, then to write about something explicitly stated in the text. **

I will compare and contrast Cherry and Ponyboy. First of all Cherry is a Soc. And Ponyboy is a Greaser, in the story Ponyboy meets Cherry in a drive-in movie theater, he describes her like this: //“if they had been greasy girls- I might of just helped old Dallas. But those two weren’t our kind.”// However, Cherry and Ponyboy both like a lot of things the other likes for example they both like to watch the sunset. But overall I chose them because they don’t even like the same band! But I guess its what they have in common that matters.


 * 3) Foreshadowing is when a story gives a hint to what's going to happen next. (Can you think of any examples from a movie or The Pearl?) When the Ponyboy tells us "Things gotta get better, I figured. They couldn't get worse. I was wrong." Predict what that might foreshadow? There is no one correct answer, but you reply should make sense in the context of the book and be well written. **

When Ponyboy said, “Things gotta get better, I figured. They couldn't get worse. I was wrong." On the end of the third chapter of //The Outsiders// I began to think on it. My first thought was that when Ponyboy came home his brother Sodapop was angry with him and refused to speak with him. But soon I realized that it doesn’t match Soda’s personality and it was a little dumb. My second thought was that when Johnny and Ponyboy got to the park a group of Socs. Would jump them and end up hurting them both really badly. Now this theory seems correct because well it happened in the first chapter maybe it will happen again.   Kiegan McGovern 1/30/2014

Yesterday was our school’s ipledge and while it was all happening it brought up the times in my life when I was a bully or I was being bullied. When I was about 6 years old I had curly blonde hair and it was really thick, I would always come to school with my hair in a ponytail and covered with my hood since there wasn’t a rule against it. One day my mom forgot to put up my hair and I decided not to wear my hood, it was the worst day ever. On that very day the worst bully in school he was in third grade spotted me and I was in first. He came over to me and snatched my hair and began pulling it, he said “hey there ‘Blondie’ what thick hair you have it would be a shame if I did something to make this hurt.” He had practically picked me up and he would of thrown me if my older sister Kieran hadn’t noticed she had punched him and led me to the nurse and I was sent home after. I would never forget that horrible nickname he gave me… I was lucky that he got expelled after but I was unhappy with my thick hair, so when I got to fourth grade I went to the hair place with my mom and told the hairdresser to make my hair like my mom’s (my mom has really short hair it’s almost boyish.) when I got back to school I had my hood on again and when I went inside my classroom I had to take my hood off so when I did I was called a boy, this went on in the fifth grade and we had a germen transfer student, he was told to sit next to me. Soon at our playtime he kept on laughing at me and called me a boy over and over so I finally snapped and punched him in the face, and gut and kicked him in the stomach… I got sent to the principles office for bullying him. I was being verbally bullied but I was physically bullying him. I will never forget that day I was a victim and a bully. word count:378

But not only that I would also like to meet George Washington and see what he was like I would also like to teach him and his men about medicine that way when sickness was spreading they would know how to stop it.

I have everything I want, a mom, my sisters, two loveable dogs, good friends, and a great home… but something’s making me feel empty inside like a emptiness that keeps growing, I feel tired a lot more often then I should even if I get enough rest I still feel tired and bitter. I have shut myself out and pretend to feel happy and joyous when I have an unknown feeling inside. I never tell mommy or Kylen or Kieran what’s going on because truth be told I don’t know what is wrong with me, I have been changed by my dad mom says this all the time I used to be so bright and cheerful… to be honest I lost the feeling when my father left and I guess I broke under the pressure of a fight I was a pawn to. Now I’m with my mother who spends lots of time with me but I still have the emptiness inside my world use to be of many colors now? Now it’s just a grey world I’m not going mad am I? I would always think… but I will never escape my unknown feeling.

Kiegan McGovern 1/16/2014   A True Assassin (Incomplete) (Based off the game //Assassin’s Creed//) The day felt like no other I was guiding my horse to an oasis for water and rest, there hasn’t been a day like this in Jerusalem the sky was as grey as my novice assassin robes and there was no warmth. I sigh as I let my horse take a drink I was going to Jerusalem for only one reason to get information on my brother’s next target.

“I hate this if only I could prove to the others that I can be a true assassin the only ones who ever believe that I can be a assassin is my brother and my father. I miss father.” I spoke to my tired black horse. It has been almost 9 years since my father was killed in action and even to this day I still fell like it happen only a few hours ago, my older brother Altair became more and more distant like all his emotions turned to ash. I turn over to my horse, which was now fast asleep under a tree. I give my horse a smile and scratch behind her ear.

“Someday we will be doing the same missions Altair does.” I sit next to my horse and fall asleep.

I woke up to my horse whinnying in panic I shot up and looked around to see a pair of thieves trying to steal the extra armor I stored in my storage bag I saw the bag in my horse’s mouth she was going to fall in the water at that rate! Fully awoken I un-latch my hidden blade and put on my clawed glove, now fully equipped I slowly walk towards the thieves to make sure that they didn’t hear me walking, soon I was close enough to be able to hear them arguing.

“Come on man we shouldn’t do this didn’t you see the symbol on the girls satchel? She’s an assassin!” I heard the younger boy argue with I guess his older brother the older boy just scowl and say.

“Oh come on Dakar you saw the color of her robes we both know that she is a novice assassin I bet she couldn’t kill a real person!” that’s when I turned angry but I then stared at the younger boy he looked about my age Dakar I believe his name is just stared at the older boy and yelled at him.

“You know what Kamar? I will have nothing to do with this I’m going to wake that girl up and tell her what’s going on oh and Kamar? I’m ashamed to be called your brother.” I saw the boy Kamar look at Dakar with angered and confused eyes and quickly grabbed Dakar’s arm very harshly.

“You try to tell her and I’ll break your arm if you tell her she’ll warn the other assassins that might be lurking around!” That’s when I decided enough was enough I then revealed my hiding spot and spoke.

“That’s were your wrong… Kamar was it? I’m all alone but just because I’m a novice assassin and a girl doesn’t mean I can’t kill you I won’t kill you’re brother because he was going to do the right thing by not trying to steal my armor and horse.” He scoffs and told me to try to kill him. I smile like a maniac and luge at him my claw glove ready to pierce in his skin that’s when he let Dakar go. He was going to counter my claw as soon as he grabbed my claw glove I jumped on his back and unlatched my hidden blade and shoved it in his throat he choked out a cry of pain, I found this the right moment to say something.

“Oh I’m sorry did I hesitate killing you because I’m a female novice assassin?” I heard him start to gurgle something like I’m sorry just don’t kill my little brother or something like that. I’m ashamed to even feel remotely satisfied from that, soon a wave of guilt over comes me as I hear his chokes and gurgles become as silent as night I soon feel tears come to my eyes as I lay Kamar down, shut his eyes, and say a small prayer in Arabic.

“I’m sorry I should have never tried to kill him it’s my fault that he’s dead now you’re alone with me.” He looks at me a small hint of confusion in his eyes as he sees my emotions changed from sadistic to ashamed, … and then I cried for the first time in a long time I Alkali Ibn-La’Ahad the little sister of Altair Ibn-La’Ahad had finally showed her tears.

“H-hey now don’t cry my brother was ill anyways he would of died either way around it’s alright even though he was my last family member but still he’s in a much better place miss umm.”

“Alkali… Alkali Ibn-La’Ahad you said your name was Dakar right? It’s nice to meet a person who is my age and doesn’t discriminate me by my gender or rank.” I wipe the extra tears from my eyes and give a faint smile he showed a large toothy grin and laughed a little.

“Are you kidding me? I was terrified when I saw the symbol but I’ve always wanted to join them but from what my brother said you have to be special and you also have to have been trained your whole life.” He looks down at his feet a little bit of sadness in his eyes.

“What are you talking about? I’ve seen a lot of people join the brotherhood at the age of 34! I’m pretty sure you can join us.” I see his smile return as I spoke those words he later began jumping up and down.

“Ok I will bring you to Masyaf as soon as I get the information for the Dai who helps us his name is Malik and whatever you do don’t look at what used to be his left arm he used to be an assassin like myself but he lost it in battle.” It was partially a lie he did lose it in battle but he also lost his little brother while trying to escape the area he still despises Altair for he believes it was his fault for the lost of his brother and arm.

“How far away are we from Jerusalem Alkali?” Dakar asked he was now worried about the time it would take us to get there “it’s about four more hours away from where we are now.” I replied I have gone on this path for many years so I knew the route like the back of my hand. “We should probably go right now while it’s still dark out it gets very hot in the morning.” Dakar spoke with a smile; I nodded agreeing with his idea and went to get my horse, which now put down my satchel for a drink “come on Aria we must leave now.” I called out for my horse, which was at my side in no time. I get on Aria and reach my hand out for Dakar to get on the horse, he smiles and takes it gladly and pulls himself on the horse. “Jerusalem here we come!” Dakar said very excited.

(Time skip we are now in Jerusalem’s bureau) “Safety and peace Malik.” I speak in my most kind voice he wasn’t in a bad mood today, which surprised me “safety and peace novice Alkali what brings you to my bureau today?” Malik spoke completely ignoring Dakar and payed all his attention to me and soon noticed my clothes were filthy and covered in blood. “I hope that blood isn’t your own Alkali what happened?” Malik look concerned for me but he knew I was strong “a young man tried to take my horse and items in an oasis not far from here I ended up assassinating him before it was too late I used the feather I had on me here.” I took out the feather and showed it to Malik before placing it on his desk “I see.” Was all he said before taking out a large book and found a clean spot to place it in and write the details of the assassination. “Oh but the assassination was not why I’m here I’m here for information on Altair’s next target.” I noticed that Malik murmured something to himself about Altair being a novice and went to the back of the room to grab some new novice robes no wait, they were assassin robes he handed them to me and spoke “these are yours now Alkali take good care of them Because these robes are like the feathers we use they are very hard to obtain.” I looked at him confused and the wanting to know why he gave me the real assassin robes “when you assassinated this person you proved that you could be an assassin please take care of these robes though they were supposed to be my brother Kadar’s robes.” Malik had always taken care of me when Altair wasn’t around and loved me as much as he loved his brother Kadar.

“I don’t understand I’m only here for the information.” I say still confused, Malik shakes his head “no Alkali Altair had made done that so you could preform a assassination remember Altair is grand master assassin he doesn’t have time for assassinations.” I had only just remembered that he became grand master assassin I should have been the one to remember for the rest of my life I mean I live with him for Allah’s sake! “I guess it slipped my mind but, why now? Why now am I allowed to preform a assassination?” I ask not at all caring about Dakar, who was at the moment looking around the room. Malik smiles and gives a small chuckle then replies “well the former ‘master’ thought that you should have worked as a Dai like me he was prepared to set arrangements to send you into my care.” I stare at Malik then look at the robes then back to Malik who then speaks again “well go on wash up Alkali before you stink up my bureau.” I nod and run off to the wash rooms to take off the worn down novice robes clean myself and put on my new real assassin robes “I will finally prove my worth.” I say with a rare smile and walk out of the washroom with the destroyed novice robes. “So what’s it like with no arm sir?” Dakar asks he must not know much about losing limbs enough.

“Its painful nephew after your limb is taken off you start to feel what you would call phantom pains I got them very often when I was younger but as time passed I got them not as frequently.” I stare as I heard the word nephew Dakar was Malik’s nephew! “Did Kadar have a kid before he died Malik?” I ask, Malik answers only by nodding his head. “Dakar here was supposed to be in my care but Kamar thought I was a bad influence but look at him he was a thief! Anyways I couldn’t take care of him because of Kamar who took Dakar away from me before I could care for him.” I look back at Dakar and notice that besides his covered eye he looked a lot like Kadar “He looks so much like Kadar, Dakar should have been Kadar Jr.” word count:1936

Kiegan McGovern 1/15/2014   Pd.7 Grades

Today I was looking at my grades on PowerSchool a place that my mom and I can check my grades whenever I want to see if I’m doing alright, the results were not too great I have two D’s one of my nightmares I have one D in tech support and the other in English.

Ever since I saw the D in tech support I have been trying really hard to get them up to a C or B again but everything I send in the grade never changes, I have been telling my teacher Mr. Carmody but even when I tell him which ones I’ve finished up the grades letter and percent never change.
 * Tech problem**

When I found out that I had my B change to a D in English I freaked out as if on cue, not only did the grade change dramatically but also the assignments I thought I had posted on our class wiki were no where to be found, I don’t know how I could of lost the assignments on a computer but I know how to change them.
 * An English difficulty**

I need to pay more attention to the assignment I’m working on the teacher would never and will never take copied or half-done homework so I better start trying really hard for next semester unless there is a assignment that can get me up another grade, if not then I always have the new semester. If I can’t get my grades up to A’s or B’s then I will really hate myself.
 * The goals for grades**

**Goals are helpful but only I can make them reality.**

Kiegan McGovern 1/14/2014   A True Assassin (Incomplete) (Based off the game //Assassin’s Creed//) The day felt like no other I was guiding my horse to an oasis for water and rest, there hasn’t been a day like this in Jerusalem the sky was as grey as my novice assassin robes and there was no warmth. I sigh as I let my horse take a drink I was going to Jerusalem for only one reason to get information on my brother’s next target.

“I hate this if only I could prove to the others that I can be a true assassin the only ones who ever believe that I can be a assassin is my brother and my father. I miss father.” I spoke to my tired black horse. It has been almost 9 years since my father was killed in action and even to this day I still fell like it happen only a few hours ago, my older brother Altair became more and more distant like all his emotions turned to ash. I turn over to my horse, which was now fast asleep under a tree. I give my horse a smile and scratch behind her ear.

“Someday we will be doing the same missions Altair does.” I sit next to my horse and fall asleep.

I woke up to my horse whinnying in panic I shot up and looked around to see a pair of thieves trying to steal the extra armor I stored in my storage bag I saw the bag in my horse’s mouth she was going to fall in the water at that rate! Fully awoken I un-latch my hidden blade and put on my clawed glove, now fully equipped I slowly walk towards the thieves to make sure that they didn’t hear me walking, soon I was close enough to be able to hear them arguing.

“Come on man we shouldn’t do this didn’t you see the symbol on the girls satchel? She’s an assassin!” I heard the younger boy argue with I guess his older brother the older boy just scowl and say.

“Oh come on Dakar you saw the color of her robes we both know that she is a novice assassin I bet she couldn’t kill a real person!” that’s when I turned angry but I then stared at the younger boy he looked about my age Dakar I believe his name is just stared at the older boy and yelled at him.

“You know what Kamar? I will have nothing to do with this I’m going to wake that girl up and tell her what’s going on oh and Kamar? I’m ashamed to be called your brother.” I saw the boy Kamar look at Dakar with angered and confused eyes and quickly grabbed Dakar’s arm very harshly.

“You try to tell her and I’ll break your arm if you tell her she’ll warn the other assassins that might be lurking around!” That’s when I decided enough was enough I then revealed my hiding spot and spoke.

“That’s were your wrong… Kamar was it? I’m all alone but just because I’m a novice assassin and a girl doesn’t mean I can’t kill you I won’t kill you’re brother because he was going to do the right thing by not trying to steal my armor and horse.” He scoffs and told me to try to kill him. I smile like a maniac and luge at him my claw glove ready to pierce in his skin that’s when he let Dakar go. He was going to counter my claw as soon as he grabbed my claw glove I jumped on his back and unlatched my hidden blade and shoved it in his throat he choked out a cry of pain, I found this the right moment to say something.

“Oh I’m sorry did I hesitate killing you because I’m a female novice assassin?” I heard him start to gurgle something like I’m sorry just don’t kill my little brother or something like that. I’m ashamed to even feel remotely satisfied from that, soon a wave of guilt over comes me as I hear his chokes and gurgles become as silent as night I soon feel tears come to my eyes as I lay Kamar down, shut his eyes, and say a small prayer in Arabic.

I woke up to my horse whinnying in panic I shot up and looked around to see a pair of thieves trying to steal the extra armor I stored in my storage bag I saw the bag in my horse’s mouth she was going to fall in the water at that rate! Fully awoken I un-latch my hidden blade and put on my clawed glove, now fully equipped I slowly walk towards the thieves to make sure that they didn’t hear me walking, soon I was close enough to be able to hear them arguing.

“Come on man we shouldn’t do this didn’t you see the symbol on the girls satchel? She’s an assassin!” I heard the younger boy argue with I guess his older brother the older boy just scowl and say.

“Oh come on Dakar you saw the color of her robes we both know that she is a novice assassin I bet she couldn’t kill a real person!” that’s when I turned angry but I then stared at the younger boy he looked about my age Dakar I believe his name is just stared at the older boy and yelled at him.

“You know what Kamar? I will have nothing to do with this I’m going to wake that girl up and tell her what’s going on oh and Kamar? I’m ashamed to be called your brother.” I saw the boy Kamar look at Dakar with angered and confused eyes and quickly grabbed Dakar’s arm very harshly.

“You try to tell her and I’ll break your arm if you tell her she’ll warn the other assassins that might be lurking around!” That’s when I decided enough was enough I then revealed my hiding spot and spoke.

“That’s were your wrong… Kamar was it? I’m all alone but just because I’m a novice assassin and a girl doesn’t mean I can’t kill you I won’t kill you’re brother because he was going to do the right thing by not trying to steal my armor and horse.” He scoffs and told me to try to kill him. I smile like a maniac and luge at him my claw glove ready to pierce in his skin that’s when he let Dakar go. He was going to counter my claw as soon as he grabbed my claw glove I jumped on his back and unlatched my hidden blade and shoved it in his throat he choked out a cry of pain, I found this the right moment to say something.

“Oh I’m sorry did I hesitate killing you because I’m a female novice assassin?” I heard him start to gurgle something like I’m sorry just don’t kill my little brother or something like that. I’m ashamed to even feel remotely satisfied from that, soon a wave of guilt over comes me as I hear his chokes and gurgles become as silent as night I soon feel tears come to my eyes as I lay Kamar down, shut his eyes, and say a small prayer in Arabic.

“I’m sorry I should have never tried to kill him it’s my fault that he’s dead now you’re alone with me.” He looks at me a small hint of confusion in his eyes as he sees my emotions changed from sadistic to ashamed, … and then I cried for the first time in a long time I Alkali Ibn-La’Ahad the little sister of Altair Ibn-La’Ahad had finally showed her tears.

“H-hey now don’t cry my brother was ill anyways he would of died either way around it’s alright even though he was my last family member but still he’s in a much better place miss umm.”

“Alkali… Alkali Ibn-La’Ahad you said your name was Dakar right? It’s nice to meet a person who is my age and doesn’t discriminate me by my gender or rank.” I wipe the extra tears from my eyes and give a faint smile he showed a large toothy grin and laughed a little.

“Are you kidding me? I was terrified when I saw the symbol but I’ve always wanted to join them but from what my brother said you have to be special and you also have to have been trained your whole life.” He looks down at his feet a little bit of sadness in his eyes.

“What are you talking about? I’ve seen a lot of people join the brotherhood at the age of 34! I’m pretty sure you can join us.” I see his smile return as I spoke those words he later began jumping up and down.

“Ok I will bring you to Masyaf as soon as I get the information for the Dai who helps us his name is Malik and whatever you do don’t look at what used to be his left arm he used to be an assassin like myself but he lost it in battle.” It was partially a lie he did lose it in battle but he also lost his little brother while trying to escape the area he still despises Altair for he believes it was his fault for the lost of his brother and arm.

“How far away are we from Jerusalem Alkali?” Dakar asked he was now worried about the time it would take us to get there “it’s about four more hours away from where we are now.” I replied I have gone on this path for many years so I knew the route like the back of my hand. “We should probably go right now while it’s still dark out it gets very hot in the morning.” Dakar spoke with a smile, I nodded agreeing with his idea and went to get my horse which now put down my satchel for a drink “come on Aria we must leave now.” I called out for my horse, which was at my side in no time. I get on Aria and reach my hand out for Dakar to get on the horse, he smiles and takes it gladly and pulls himself on the horse. word count:1222

The Three Legged Dog

I was walking down the streets of San Diego, when I suddenly heard a clang in the alleyway letting my curiosity get the better of me I went to see what the noise was all about ‘//maybe it’s a homeless man trying to find something in the garbage cans.’// I thought but what I didn’t expect was to see a small Alaskan Malamute trying to reach something on the dumpster I stare at it a little longer to notice it was missing a front leg. As soon as I took a step towards it the poor thing panicked and tried to run off “hey wait I’m a friend you can trust me.” I spoke in my friendliest voice and sure enough it hopped back over to where I was. I didn’t like what I saw on the dog it was so thin I could see its ribcage. I soon got an idea and remembered I had some dog friendly snacks in my backpack, I soon took off my backpack and opened up the main pocket then taking out a large bag of bread and took off a good amount for him to eat and handed it to him. “Here you go its fresh don’t worry.” The weak dog was so hungry he practically swallowed it whole after it was finished it hopped over to me and laid his head on my lap I chuckled and picked him up “you can live with me but if you are going to live with me then you’ll need a name how about Malik?” I heard him yip in happiness to his name “Malik it is then.” Getting my mom to let me keep him was hard but I managed to because my sisters found pets of their own to care for but I didn’t mind having to pay for Malik’s food and care (mom would help me take care of Malik’s vet bills and my dad who lives on the other side of America gave me more money for Malik’s food, bedding, and toys.) I was just happy to have a dog to love to death.

Kiegan McGovern 1/7/2014   Pd.7 The Eagle And Her Family

“I’m telling you it’s all she ever does!” cried Mother Hawk that was staring at her youngest child-the eagle who was perched on the rooftop and staring at the sky. “Well can you blame her? I mean she does like her freedom up there.” Replied Mother Hawk’s oldest daughter Macaw “she loves being up on the roof instead of being with her family!” screeched Mother Hawk “it’s pointless and I don’t like it she never listens to me!” Mother Hawk screeched again.

“Well she is like an eagle mother she’s hard to care for and it’s hard to earn their trust Eagle just needs time.” Replied Mother Hawk’s middle daughter Raven. “Well I think I should clip her wings soon.” Mother Hawk huffed as she flew into the house in a pure anger. “Little do you know mother her wings are already clipped.” Raven replied softly walking inside, Macaw following close behind.

Young Eagle looked up at the sky “soon I’ll join the skies.” She spoke to herself softly, soon getting up spreading her wings she jumped off of the roof and flew high in the sky ‘//my dream came true’// she smiled as she thought the happiest thought ever. Eagle started to fly into the sunset with a smile on her face.

Kiegan McGovern Pd.7 1/6/2014   A Dream to Fly I lay in my bed eyes filled with tears and exhaustion wondering what dream would take me in its arms. //Will I dream like normal girls of unicorns and princesses? Or will I have another dream of climbing rooftops in 1783 Italy?// I wondered and wondered until sleep held me in its temporary hold… and I dreamed the most special dream of all. I felt the warm wind rush around me; I saw so many things in the warm spring night I was flying with my eagle friends. But I have to say the dream was not long enough for I soon woke up to an alarm clock ringing… but I know that my dream will come again. word count:126

Kiegan McGovern A True Assassin (Incomplete) (Based off the game //Assassin’s Creed//) The day felt like no other I was guiding my horse to an oasis for water and rest, there hasn’t been a day like this in Jerusalem the sky was as grey as my novice assassin robes and there was no warmth. I sigh as I let my horse take a drink I was going to Jerusalem for only one reason to get information on my brother’s next target.

“I hate this if only I could prove to the others that I can be a true assassin the only ones who ever believe that I can be a assassin is my brother and my father. I miss father.” I spoke to my tired black horse. It has been almost 9 years since my father was killed in action and even to this day I still fell like it happen only a few hours ago, my older brother Altair became more and more distant like all his emotions turned to ash. I turn over to my horse, which was now fast asleep under a tree. I give my horse a smile and scratch behind her ear.

It had been about 9 months ever since Kiegan became Stephano’s adopted sister and mine and it was an nice day outside it was strange because it was usually very dark and gloomy. The sky was a beautiful blue and it was very nice weather out so Stephano suggested a picnic so I had said why not little did I know what would happen that day.

“Come on Gonzalez it’s almost time to leave!” I groan as I hear Stephano yell through my bedroom door urging me to get up and out of my silver pajamas and into my normal clothes that were made for a long trek across the desert I get into my normal clothes and then put on my turban and quickly grabbing my sheathed sword before heading out the door.

9/23/13 A time when I didn’t get enough sleep was when I was at my bapcia’s house visiting my dad (yes he did live in his mothers house how sad is that?) It was very uncomfortable because my sisters and I had to sleep on a pull out bed ya know those beds that come out of the sofa? Well my big sisters had me in the middle and we were all unable to get to sleep so my big sisters had me sneak into the kitchen and steal some food I had grabbed sodas, chips, cookies, and chocolate (seriously that was all they had unless you wanted to get food poisoned by my bapcia’s cooking she can’t cook even if her life depended on it.) so anyways we ate the junk food and watched lots of TV (I think we didn’t go to sleep until about 4:30 if my memory is correct.) but I have to say after I was awoken by my dad I was crabby, and forgetful ( but I had an excuse I mean I was sleeping on a mattress that felt like I was sleeping on a bed of steel I was sore for a week!) well I know after that we knew we were gonna sleep on the floor from then on.

9/22/13 if you could be any character in a cartoon, book, or movie who would you be?

If I could be any character in a cartoon, book, or movie I would be Miko from Transformers Prime. The reason I would be her is she is fearless, she likes music, and she also is a friend with giant alien robots! But despite her tomboyish attitude she has a soft side too she is kind, caring, and she will cry when something is going on with her life, like when her robot friend Bulkhead was injured and couldn’t move his legs. She did all she could to get him up very quickly and fully recovered, but she would have caused more damage on Bulkhead’s legs then actually helped them.

I feel like I am a lot like Miko because I am a tomboy too, but I too have a soft side and I would love to meet her in real life. She and I have a lot in common, like we both like music, we both play an instrument, we will cry only if we are very sad. I would love to be her and see how her life is like sometime. I think it would be cool to be Miko and that’s why I chose Miko to be if I could be a person in a cartoon.

9/16/13 If you could only live for one month what would you do?

If I only had one month to live I would do as much as I could. The first thing I would do is spend tons of time with my mom and sisters I would play board games, video games, and card games. The second thing I would do is play with my cousins Evan, and Morgan because I will not be there for the rest of their lives so I would cherish the time I would have with them. The third thing I would do is have fun with my best friends Ella, Brianna, Skylar, and Nick. And the last thing I would do is go to an amusement park with my friends and family, then I would do everything on my bucket list like go racing, go to Rio De Janeiro, go to Ireland, and go to Scotland. Then I could die happy and I would feel like I lived my life to the fullest.
