Poem from Fairfield(3)
By The Say-er of It 08/01/12 at 11:34AM
I love my parents.
By Stephen
I don’t want end up being someone, Who never understood, How much their parents meant to them, Until they’re grown up and gone for good.
So right now would the time to say,
That I’ve never truly realized how much they mean to me, That they’re always there to help me, Whenever I’m in need.
They’re always there to comfort me,
Whenever I get the blues,
And they really good at cheering me up,
Even making me laugh too.
They always want the best for me,
This much I know.
Their true love and honesty,
They’re always ready to show.
They’ve always taught me the right way to be, Of this I am sure.
And because they taught me these things, I easily became mature.
They do these things out of their love,
Which is honest and true.
So I want to say before it’s too late,
Mom, Dad, I love you!

Aunt Wanda
By Claire W
Aunt Wanda, Aunt Wanda, your passing we mourn
Death is not comparable to being born
Death is the catalyst of your loved ones feeling torn
I did not visit much, you lived much too far
And I could not drive a car
You looked salubrious and perfectly fine
Just like a butterfly
But when we found out that you had "Lou Gehrig's"
We had to cry
Eventually you could not walk
And quite soon could not talk
I wish we had more time
You're still always in my mind
Aunt Wanda, Aunt Wanda, your passing we mourn

Ode to Fire
By Claire Williams
Whoosh! The fire is started
It cannot drown
It will eventually pull around
With or without a frown
The flames swooshing back and forth
On top of the house
With scorching and blistering temperatures
It is impossible to stay calm
It liquefies and demolishes everything
The walls collapsing and getting pulverized to the ground
It is burning hot to the touch
Melting our fingers with ease
Melting our fingers with ease
The flames swooshing back and forth
In the dingy, cozy pit
Heating your toes head and palms
No wounds to be found
Whoosh! The fire is out
It can drown
It may pull around
With or without a frown

Review of Dragon Rider

Dragon Rider Review
By Cornelia Funke
Review By Hannah J
I have read this book three times. It is really thick but once you start reading it, it doesn’t seem that long. This book is really good if you like dragons and fantasy. This book is about a dragon and a brownie whose home was threatened by humans set off to find the Rim of heaven. The Rim of heaven is a safe place for dragons that humans will never find. If you love fantasy books, this one will be one of your favorites. This book is one of my all time favorites. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Movie Review: Saving Private Ryan
By The Say-er of It 07/07/12 at 2:03PM
Movie: Saving Private Ryan
Director: Steven Spielberg
Notable Actors: Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Matt Damon, Tom Sizemore
Brief Plot Summary
During World War II, the three brothers of Private Jack Ryan (Damon) are killed in combat. The U.S. government does not want to have Mrs. Ryan lose all of her sons. So they send a team of eight men lead by Captain John Miller (Hanks) to find Ryan and bring him home. They face impossible odds such as facing a German sniper and winning, capturing a German Base, and defending a town down to the last men without losing the will to fight. The movie opens with the casualty filled D-day raid which is an eye opener!
What I thought of the film
A great film for history buffs and war junkies alike. Very real throughout the whole movie. Would watch again and again!
