MICHELLE AND THE ROBBER

BY:JAMES VERANO

Ducking beneath her desk, she searched for a weapon. The robber that broke in was looking for her saying, “ Yoohoo, come out come out wherever you are.” He was armed with a machete. Soon, Michelle touched a vase above the desk. The robber stopped in front of her. She sneaked up behind him and smashed the vase over his head. Michelle had knocked him out cold. Unconcious. She ran into the hurriedly kitchen and dialed 911. She heard the robber regaining his senses. Michelle wished the operator would pick up the phone, “Cmon, pick up.” she whispered. She saw the robber getting to his feet and charge at her with his machete. Michelle was scared. She didn’t know what to do. Suddenly the operater answered, “ Hello this is 911.” Michelle answered tears streaming down her face with fear, “Hello?! Please help me! There is a man who broke into my house! He’s armed with a machete!” As soon as the robber herard her voice, he rushed into the kitchen laughing devilishly. Michelle screamed. The operator said, “Ma’am, are you ok? Please say your address and we’ll come to you. But michelle didn’t have time to tell her address. She ran upstairs with the robber chasing her. She opened the door to her parents room and locked it. The robber banged wildly on the door. Michelle searched for her father’s gun. She knew he kept it somewhere. The robber started chopping down the door with his weapon.  Michelle soon found the gun in the drawer beside the bed. She pointed it at the door saying, “Don’t come in here! I have a gun and I’ll shoot you.” The chopping stopped.  The robber said, Do you have the guts to shoot me?” He laughed wickedly. As soon as he stopped laughing, he broke the door down. Michelle was so surprised the she suddenly pulled the trigger, hitting the robber at his chest. He looked at his chest then at Michelle. He stumbled to the ground. Michelle dropped the gun and started crying. Her nightmare was finally over. She heard the sirens coming from down the street. She ran downstairs and opened the door. An police officer stepped out. Soon a crowd of people and officers were crowding her house. Then Michelle saw her parents. She ran to them hugging and  sobbing.  She was glad to be alive.

Eid Holiday

     Eid Holiday

By: James Verano

     During the Eid Break, all I did was read books, go in the internet, do the homework for my blog, watch tv, sleep, eat, hang out with my friends, talk to them, computer games, and practice the drums,guitar, and bass. I really didn’t do much. Its just like what every person in the world would do.

Ringo Starr

FAMOUS PERSON

BY: JAMES VERANO

 

     If I could meet any famous person I would choose Ringo Starr, a multi-talented musician. Ringo could play the drums, percussion, piano, vocals, harmonica, and guitar. The only instruments I could play are guitar, drums, and bass guitar. So, Ringo and I have only two instruments in common.

 

     Ringo Starr is the drummer from The Beatles. His roles in The Beatles were to play the drums and backing vocalist. People who came to watch The Beatles were amazed by how Ringo played the drums. His drumming was very professional. John Lennon, lead singer of The Beatles, commented on Ringo’s drumming. This is what he said,

 

“Ringo was a star in his own right in Liverpool before we even met. He was a professional drummer who sang and performed and had Ringo Starr-time and he was in one of the top groups in Britain but especially in Liverpool before we even had a drummer … Ringo’s a fantastic and wonderful drummer.”   

 

     So, if I were to meet Ringo Starr, I would ask him to teach me a few lessons on how to drum.
