Things that comfort me

There are multiple things that comfort me. The thing that comforts me the most is sleep. I think this comforts me the most because I forget about what was bothering me. The things that also provide me comfort are cats, video games, food, and netflix. Cats comfort me because I like the sound of their purring and it calms me. Video games comfort me because they make me focus on something else. They are also comforting because I play them with my friends most of the time(89). A lot of different foods comfort me like pizza, spaghetti, salad, chicken nuggets, french fries, burgers, chicken, rice, pasta, and pretty much any Chinese food. These comfort me because I like the flavor and that is what I focus on while I'm eating. Netflix comforts me because it takes my mind off of things by letting me watch what I want to, when I want to. These are the things that comfort me.

"I Am" Poem

I am a wacky kid who plays lots of video games.
I wonder what the horizon looks like from the top of the world.
I hear the wind whistling in my ears.
I see huge giants in the trees.
I want to live in a nice house and live a long life.
I am a wacky kid who plays lots of video games.

I become a cat when I am with my cats.
I feel like the government watches me.
I touch others hearts to get close to them.
I worry about my family members getting Ebola.
I cry for my uncle who passed away long ago.
I am a wacky kid who plays lots of video games.

I understand how cell reproduction works.
I say aliens are real with their big black eyes and slender grey bodies.
I dream about being rich and living a good life.
I try to make new friends and be nice to people.
I hope for good grades in school. 
I am Thomas Sheldon.

2000 Years Ago

If I were a farmer 2000 years ago and I could start with one horse, one cow, or a dozen chickens, I would pick the dozen chickens. I would start with the dozen chickens because they lay eggs for food. Also after I have breeded some chickens I can trade about four chicks and about two dozen eggs for a neighbors cow. Then I can repeat that same process to get another to breed them to have lots of cows. Once I have multiple cows I can trade one for a horse with my other neighbor. Then I could put a tiller on my horse to till my land faster and I can till more of it to plant more. If I start with the chickens I can get the other two animals and become successful. Although chickens can create a huge clamor it will be worth it in the end.

I am a Piñata

I am a piñata. I was born specially for the reason of being stuffed with lots of candy and whacked to death by lots of small temperamental children. I have known this since I was created and I have feared the day it would happen. But right now I am in a car on my way to a birthday party. I know what will happen to me and I am not afraid because I know it was meant to happen this say. I have arrived at the party, all stuffed with goodies for the children, and they are hanging me from a tree in the back yard for the children to hit me. I can see the children looking tame with anticipation in their eyes. The first child came up and hit me three times with a baseball bat. It hurt horribly but I got over because I knew I wouldn't feel it for much longer. Then the second child came up. He was larger than the others and I feared he would be the one to do it. He hit me once and candy came pouring out of me like a river.  But when the last piece fell I was gone.
