Essays/Short Stories


Harriet Tubman
By Rose Rham
I was a woman who fought for the freedom of
African -Americans. I was born a slave and ran away a young woman.

I used the Underground Railroad to help thousands of slaves escape to freedom. I was born in the 1800’s, but our masters never told us our precise birth dates. I died on March 10th 1913, but my spirit still lives on today.         
     I am Harriet Tubman, a woman of our country.                                                                                                                                                                                 






My Horses
    
Kate Kaluen*, age 5, Vancouver, Canada

      Hi. My name is Kate. And I love horses. As a matter of fact, I own two of my own, Cinnamon and Ginger.
~~*~~
      Cinnamon is red-ish brown, and has a white star on her forehead. A star is basically a white diamond. Cinnamon also has three stockings. Stockings are basically- well, they look like white stockings on the horse’s hooves. Cinnamon has a white mane and tail.
~~*~~
      Now Ginger. Ginger is light brown. He has a thin white line running across the left side of his face. It is NOT a scar. It’s just part of his body. Ginger has a black mane and tail.
~~*~~
     I LOVE Cinnamon and Ginger, my two stuffed animal horses! 

                Don’t you?
* This name has been changed for her privacy.

Stories


The Art of Ice Skating
          I knew I was a true ice skater when a thrill ran through my body the first time I saw the gleaming ice glinting in the sun. When I stepped on to the gleaming ice, and slid across it, skates parallel, flying across the frozen water beneath me, I felt like I was floating.
Floating on a sea of ice.

        And to this day, I still feel like that, that shiver that runs through my body as I slip on my white figure skating skates and lace them up.
As I slip on my black skating dress and tights.
As I whirl round and round, fighting to stay balanced on a world of ice.
As I leap high in the air and land, smoothly, gracefully, on the glinting ice.
 As I finger the curved edge of my medal.
As I stare out at that calling, silvery, gleaming, circle of ice, crediting it for my performance.







ELEMENT WARS











Chapter 1
Benjamin Mars, Get down here right now! My older sister Selena yelled at my ten year old brother, Benny. Ben was basically late for everything! It was his turn to cook for us but he never liked it. Our friends Sophie and Sonia were coming over and in my opinion, Ben was not good at cooking.
“I’ll cook!” our sister Lily said as she walked into the room.
“Sure!” I said. Lily was the world’s best chef. Sonia loved Lily’s asparagus salad. Ben hates it. The only thing that Selena and Ben have in common is that they both hate Lily’s asparagus. We gave the job of cleaning the fish to Benny.
~~~~~*~~~~~
As Benny cut open the last salmon, He nearly fainted. There was a soggy piece of paper wedged inside the salmon. Benny grabbed the piece of paper and rushed to show Lily, Selena, Sophie, Sonia, and me. It said
Go to 999 Cutter Road, Nome, Alaska
~~~~*~~~~




Chapter 2
We are in the boat, on the way to Nome. Suddenly, There is a lightning flash. The boat jerks to one side, then the other, then back. We grasp onto the railings. Sea spray splashes up on deck. Then, we see a light. It was Nome!
“We’re saved” Ben shouted.
~~~~*~~~~
We walked down Cutter road. Ben was counting house numbers, all the way from 1 to 989, 990, 991…
“999!” Ben shouted triumphantly. We stepped into the shadow of a huge, circular tower. 999 read across a 10 ft. tall black door in spiky letters. As we opened the door, it creaked dust wafted over us. Ben was the first inside. He bounded in, then hurried back with cobwebs all over his face.
“There are cobwebs.” He said.
“I noticed.” Lily said. “Thanks for clearing them for us.”
Suddenly, Lily noticed something. A light glowing in the building. It grew stronger and stronger until it was so close we could feel its warmth.
  “Welcome” The light said. Suddenly, it transformed into a man. Felix, Benjamin, Lily, my Selena, you’ve all grown so much.” We all looked at each other, puzzled. Then, I saw the green eyes. He was our father. I had never really thought about having parents. Our dad was telling us about everything.
  “I used to be part of the Sun elements with Light, Wind and Lightning. We ruled the solar system until the forces of density took over. Now, we have been battling the dark forces just to keep our daylight. Without daylight, all life on Earth will perish. We have summoned you here today for your element power giving ceremony.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~




Chapter 3
  “We present Felix Aariak Mars his Element of fire power,” Dad had given me the fire element! “With the power name of Flame Magma.”
  Ben got fire, Lily and Selena got lightning, Sophie got wind, and Sonia got light.
  “Blame-Blame to the rescue!” Ben shouted.     “We all think that’s very funny Blame,” Lightning Wave (Lily) said sarcastically
  “Come on, we have work to do” I said as I went into the room.
  “That’s true Flame,” our dad said as he came in. “Night is falling, The dark forces will come to us. We are needed now.” And with our newfound powers, we soared into the sunset.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
   “Welcome to the gathering,” the dark apprentice JD said as we landed in his lair on the moon. Suddenly, he shot a mini black hole at us and we narrowly escaped it. Dad shot a stream of fire at JD. He dodged it. And so the fight began. He shot another  mini black hole ,we barely got away, Lightning Wave (Lily) and Lightning Speed (Selena) shot a lightning bolt at him and he was almost toast! We fought all night. Dad, Selena, Benny, Lily, and I and our gang against JD .At first it seemed like it was going to be easy because it was all of us against JD but as Dad explained to us later he has a lot of power because his master is the dark leader.
  “JD!” suddenly, a loud voice boomed
  “Yes sir.” JD said. I could tell that he was scared. Dad sent a stream of fire into the direction of the voice.
  “WELCOME MARS, I  HAVEN’T SEEN YOU IN A LONG TIME.” Sophie (Swift) WindBlew a small tornado toward the dark leader. Then, all of us kids made a plan. I shot a fire stream, Blame shot lava rocks, Wave and Speed shot lightning, Sophie made a WindBlow, and Stella (Sonia) topped it with a glow. The PowerMix moved toward the Dark Leader. It enveloped him in a fiery glow, then, it disappeared. We had found out what all of our powers could do. It was Elements United.
