“The Third Level” is an epic adventure through time. It starts in modern time It’s just another day in New York City. Charly was on his way home from the office. He had no idea that he was about to discover a world lost in the time stream of our history.
Charlie is the main character in this romance. He is a business man who just want to get home. Charlie is on his way home and he decides to go to Grand Central Station because it is fastest. Charly’s friend Sam is also his physiatrist.
“The Third Level” is a romance. In the story the mild conflict is finding his way home from the past. Charly is the one who’s been through the station a million times but still gets lost. Near the end Charly’s physiatrist Sam converts eight hundred dollars into 1800’s money. Sam goes into the third level and stays. Charly finds his way back bust does not plan to stay like Sam.
After reading the story I knew what the lesson was. It was if you get lost you will find your way back if you try. Sam did not get lost he just did not want to leave. Charly on the other hand just wanted to get back home.
Did Charly decide to go back to back to the old times? This story was extremely confusing. At first I did not get it but after reading it a second time I understood. “The Third Level” a story in time and is a nice fantasy to think about. What would living on Manhattan in the 1800’s be like?

Ribbons
By: Laurence Yep
Stacy is just a simple young girl who likes ballet. When Paw Paw (Stacy’s grandmother) comes to town every thing changes from there. When Stacy’s little brother Ean saw Paw Paw come up the walkway he went nuts. When she came in the first thing Stacy noticed was Paw Paw’s feet. They were wrapped up in cloth and looked all bent. In this comedy Paw Paw is a mean grouchy woman who totally despises ballet shoes because of her terrible past.
“Ribbons” is a comedy. The story starts normal with Stacy, her parents, and her brother Ean. The conflict arises when Paw Paw comes to town to move in. Stacy realizes that Paw Paw is being extremely unfair. One day Stacy wanted help tying her ribbons to her ballet shoes. She knew Paw Paw used to do this a lot so she went to Paw Paw for help. Paw Paw saw the ribbons and fiercely attacked Stacy for the ribbons. Stacy Realizes conflict. Paw Paw was acting crazy just to get the shoes away. Stacy’s mom comes in and agrees with her mom to take them. The resolution is when Stacy talks to her grandmother and Paw Paw tells her about a different way she used to use them. Her feet are twisted and turned now because of that. It finally returns to normalcy when Stacy gets her shoes back.
“Ribbons” relates to my life in many ways. Just a couple days ago my social studies class had a substitute. She was mean just like Paw Paw in “Ribbons”. And like Stacy we were minding our business and doing our work and she still found something wrong in what we were doing. The part of that class period that most relates to “Ribbons” Is when a Class mate asked a question about our work and the sub snapped back and almost yelled telling him to get back to work. But unlike “Ribbons” she was gone the next day and it was back to our normal teacher.
I think that Stacy is an innocent little girl. Stacy wasn’t the one doing bad in this story to make Paw Paw go crazy. She had no control over the decision of Paw Paw living with her.I think that Stacy’s parent should help Paw Paw get started in a new apartment. They should do that so Stacy can get her room back and her favorite hobby back.
Paw Paw’s past left her feet to practically rot and she does not want that to happen to Stacy. Paw Paw is good by not trying to warn Stacy but I don’t think that she had to attack Stacy to tell her. Stacy now understands Paw Paw and Paw Paw understand Stacy. In the end Stacy and Paw Paw hug and make up.

Got The Diamonds
It was just another Sunday in a new town we just moved to. It went by the name of North Creek right next to D.C. My dad Jerry, my mom Sharron, and me were on our way to church. On our way down Pear St. my clumsy dad was trying to call his new boss from his new job at the CIA on his cell phone. Then I saw a big black SUV coming toward us head first. The last thing I herd was the tires screeching. I guess North Creek just wasn’t our town.
My name is Danny Turnerman. I woke up in the North Creek hospital. There was yelling and talking. ”Te boy’s awake. He’s awake!” They gave me a pill and told me to go back to sleep. Once again I woke up and there was my Uncle Fred sitting in a chair next to the hospital bed. He saw me open my eyes and said “Hello” in a soft gentle voice.
“The doctors said you wouldn’t wake up. They said you were in A Coma. Watch your leg though” he said.
“A Coma .Really! Ow, Owch My leg.
“Told ya”
“Wait, are my parents okay! Can I see them” I said.
The doctor walks in.
“Oh my god. It’s a miracle.”
Me and the doctor talk for a couple of minutes until the doctor thought I ready to meet my parents. He lets them in. They talk with me for a while and Danny says good bye to his parents as they leave to go home since they’re in good enough condition. Danny is told that they will come first thing in the morning to come pick him up.
The next day I’m taken away with my parents and my crutches. We went for lunch and ice cream and went home. My dad said he had paperwork to do so he went up stairs. And for me, I had nothing better to do than watch TV. Luckily we have a TIVO so I do not miss one episode of Family Guy. I sat there until my mom made me go to bed. My mom helped me up the stairs to my room and I had it from there.
I was walking down the hall when I herd talking. It was coming from my parent’s bedroom. I peaked into my room. There was my dad talking on the phone.
“Look John, I think the government is on to us. They’re the ones who ran into my car. Anyways if we do get caught what will happen to my family.
The other person speaks but I can’t hear him.
“I don’t care if your wife left you for this, just bring the bomb!”
My dad slams the phone down. He looks over and sees me. He grabs me and puts me on the ground. I try to refuse. He shoves one of those pills from the hospital in my mouth and I fall asleep.
The next morning I wake up and my dad was gone.
“Where’s dad” I ask my mom.
“I think he said something about going to the Smithsonian for some diamond exhibit. He supposed to guard it today. Maybe we can go down later.”
“Ok, but first I need to tell you about the craziest dream I had last night.”
The very next moment my dad and another man come rushing in the house with a big black bag. He grabs me and puts a gun to my back making me drop my crutches. There are S.W.A.T.’s everywhere.
“You’re surrounded. There’s no use in the child. Hand him over” says a man with microphone in one hand and a pistol in the other.
“NO” yells my dad.
Even if he did let go I couldn’t go anywhere because of my broken leg from the crash.
My dad starts to slowly back up taking baby steps back into the house. When he is about three feet from the door he threw me down on the ground. Not even one step into his running plan he was shot in the leg as a way to stop him without killing him. He was going to a high security prison right after his leg surgery.
One week later
“Finally the bomb is finished. Now to owe my friend an apology and some diamonds” said John to himself.
John got in his car with the light sensing bomb. He knew he could not go inside the prison so did the classic bomb in the box. He mailed it into the prison. The box was sent into the small mail room ready to be looked at before handed to the prisoners. The mail room was a probably the size of a wide hallway and the strong doors are closed on each side. When the guards opened the box… KABOOM. All of the guards in the mail room and in the hall next to it were dead.
All of the rest of the guards were drawn to it to see what happened. One of the guards trying to finish his donut came running out of the maintenance room just so happened to run into John. John knocked him out and took his keys. Now John had the chance to walk into the maintenance room. Without a breath he pulled down the lever that opened up the cell doors.
John walked outside calmly and waited for the prisoners to start coming out. He could hear the guards yelling and screaming and being beat up. Within ten minutes John met up with Jerry. They got in Johns car and drove away.
On the road going for the Canadian border John pulled a big black bag out from behind his seat. While watching the road John handed the bag to Jerry. Jerry looked inside. A bunch of sparkles were coming out of the bag. They both started yelling in happiness.
