As she opened the door and stepped out in the dim sunlight left of the long hard humid summer day, her lungs were filled with old poluted air that the fire left behind. She took another step onto the old creeky farm house porch and it squeeked for every step she took on it. Her heart was broken as she looked out over the burned country hills, she cried to herself and felt a sickness deep down in her stomach coming. Was he alive? Where could he be? Was he save from the crazy raging forest fire?
There was just a huge forest fire that passed through one small little country village and a new young mother is home waiting for her 5 year old son to return from a walk to the river with his best friend. The fire was massive, the mother is setting on the front porch on her rocking chair waiting for her boy to return home. In all of the dust and smoke after hours of waiting upon the long winding hill the boy returns home safe and sound.

Trapping
They have been around for centuries and centuries, and have been a pest in my opinion. They make dams and flood highways, roads, and ruin property by cutting trees and flooding other trees and ground. If you havent guessed what this four legged creature is yet that romes the waters around us and destroys trees and roads and even highways its the beaver.
Beavers are everywheres in our society, it is legal to trap them and thats what i do in the fall when the fur harvesting season is open. Beavers are semi-aquatic mammals and they are the largest north American rodent. Mature males usually range from (40 to 60 lbs.) but some will weigh up to 100 or more. They have one littler in may or june and they usually have 4 to 6 pups in a litter.
Trapping in my point of view is ok. I can see how some people think its cruel and inhumane but really it isnt bad as it seems. With traps i have and use the kill is instant and the animal does not suffer, although some traps are different but most trappers do not use them and most of the cruel ones are illegal which is a good thing. I really see nothing wrong with trapping because the beaver population has really high numbers and they only ruin property. Some people are against trapping but those people dont know anything about it and mostly love animals but little do they know they ruin everything and there are alot of them around. I am a trapper and i am not cruel and wouldnt kill animals for no given reason but there are issues with the beavers.
Other animals that are trapped that i see there is no reason to trap other than money which i think is wrong is otters, muskrats, minks, martens, fishers and many more. I dont trap these animals because i see no reason to. People only trap them for money, i wouldnt trap them if i had absolutly no money because they are innocent animals and deserve to live. I dont care to kill coyotes or foxes because they take so many deer. In the winter months they can take the population of deer down drastically; the foxes take so many partridge and birds.
In conclusion trapping over all isnt as bad as everyone says it to be. It isnt cruel and no animals suffer like people say they do. The government is very strict on what goes on in trapping and the wardens are always checking people out and making sure all traps are legal and humane. Only the beavers are the ones i will trap and the coyotes and foxes but i only trap for reasons because i dont kill for no reasons.

Luv 2 Txt - Brainstorming
The name of my article is "Luv 2 txt" and it is on the site teenink.com. The author of the story is Christina C. from Hopdale, MA. The opening paragraph in the story is all about texing itself, the setting is in a class room in the middle of a very boring class. It has a girl in the class room slowly sneaking in her backpack to get her phone to text her mom to tell her soccer practise is canceled. She says she slowly texts "sccer canceled! pick^ @2 thx <3",>
The opening paragraph did catch my attention in many ways because i text alot but not to much in school because all of my friends I text are with me. The main reason that it caught my attention is because I seen myself in these situations before trying to send that quick message in class even though we arent supposed to, while trying not to get caught by the teacher.
This article consists of 6 paragraphs, all of the paragraphs relate to the thesis some how. The writer connects the thesis to these paragraphs in different ways. This story is based on the writers personal experienses and he dosent refer to any resourses.
The author explains many sides to the arguement, one is hers where she thinks its great to text and loves it. But she also mentions how she just missed 2 minutes of her teachers lecture and she is ruining her vocabulary as many parents say as well as teachers. The writer also has a good pont from her side of view as well. The writer says how easy it is to just text and only take one minute where she could have gotten up and went to call and taken like at least 5 minutes.
The conclusion was very effective, it said how texting ruined vocabuary and for the ending she said "so before you hit send think about what you have just written, and maybe reconsider". Over all this article was very affective and it had a good perpose.
