Mr. Steltman - Redirecting ...

An Adventure with Another Character!

2/26/2015

 
Picture
You have created some amazing characters this past week and I think they are ready for an adventure.  As a twist though, you are going to choose someone else’s character and write them into a situation where they meet and interact with your character.  REMEMBER, this isn’t meeting the author of the character, it’s meeting the person they created.  Think about how their character would react to meeting your character in a certain situation.  You are also responsible for writing the situation in which they meet.  Maybe, they are both spies, meeting to exchange information during a war.  Maybe they are both starting school the same day and find that they have all the same classes.   You can choose any situation you like for them to meet but make sure you are creating a conversation that those two characters would have and include the reactions and personalities that the characters would have.  Enjoy this, it doesn’t have to be serious but it must make sense, be appropriate and have proper punctuation! Think quotation marks and our editing checklist!

I Curtis Fox lay on the ground gushing blood dripping from my nose. Okay i'll tell you what happened, I was in my room just doing my stuff like taking over the world and stuff. Then there was the doorbell
"Mom someone is at the door!"
" Honey im busy with your sister!"
So i walked over to the door my leather jacket to dark to be real.
I open door and this kid is standing there he looks like he is in grade 6 and smells like tacos.Then the weirdest thing happened he says that he is Evan then tackles me and runs away like Usain bolt I stood up to see what house he is going to but then i lose him. Somewhere out of nowhere Evan comes back then tackles me again this time my nose started gushing blood. Now mom comes and says " Who did this??!!!" I moan "Evan" then a surge of rage comes upon me then i summon the dead.

Finally, we are at least halfway through the school year, only 5 months to go and the kids have finally learned to stop picking me up and putting their faces up against my glass case, that is the thought I, Gunther the chinchilla went to sleep on last night, only to be ruined in the morning by terrible news.

“ Okay class, today we’re getting a new student” Mrs J said
Most of the students groaned, I groaned to.
“ I would like you to welcome him like you would welcome any other person in this classroom”
“ Yes Mrs J” They grumbled
They phone rang, and 10 second later, Mrs. J announced

“ Okay class he will be here in about 20 minutes, in the mean time, I would like you to work on a ten page essay about respect due at the end of the day”
“ But we only have you for 2 periods” One of the student objected
“ Looks like you need to work extra hard if you don’t want detention”

All of the student immediately got to work when the the principal walked in with the new student. He had the that unrestrained and carefree look about him. This one is gonna be trouble I thought to myself.

“Drop your pencils everyone” Mrs J said, the student ran to my case and yelled “ Hamster” open my glass case and picked my up holding me so tight I couldn’t breath.

‘
“ Clarence no” Mrs. J scream in a frightened tone as he loosed his grip and I fell to the hard tile floor seeing my life flash before my eyes

There is a giant creature in front of me she is a giant, mutant rabbit who is purple. I run out of the office and into my homeroom and find my teacher who has conveniently just turned into a giant orange ferret. I scream and tell everyone to get out. They all race outside and I am left with the beast and one other girl who’s name is Hailey. I know this because she lives right beside me and is very loud (especially when she is eating her double triple chocolate fudge cake).
“Run!” we both yell as we scurry out of the room and lock the door.
“We should get out of here” I tell her out of breath. We get outside and see something terrifying; the school is in space.
Hailey starts freaking out, “I can’t believe we’re in space. We’re going to die. I was so popular on earth.” She was the opposite of popular, everyone hated her. Saying she has a tendency to lie is an understatement, for her lying is a state of mind, a way of life. “I’m going to have to live up here for the rest of my life! I’m going to miss my wedding with my fiance!” Hailey wails.
“What!” I yell at her.
“I was (sniffle), and then, (sniffle), e-harmony,(sniffle),.”, trying to keep a cool Hailey starts bawling.
I’ve had enough and decide to let her cool down so I walk around of the creature infested building. I sit down and think about what my family is doing, what earth is like right now. I sigh, I think about my brother. He always got all of the attention at home just because he’s in a wheelchair. Now I’m on space and my parents may not even know it because of him.
I stay in the moment thinking about where I am. If I ever get back to earth I will know much more about space than what they can teach us in school. I’ll know what stars look like, what the moon looks like, what the air smells like, what earth looks like from here… wait there is no oxygen in space. That means that we’re not in space. Just as this idea crosses my mind I hear Hailey scream,
“Lilly!”, I look, we are definitely not in space.

I chose Devons character.
Evan was running from school when he saw a kid jump out the window. Who was he? Evan ran up to him and asked who he was. He said he is James Lebron. And then jumped back into the window. Then he jumped out again and ran away. Evan chased him. Then James reached a building on a cliff. He went inside. When Evan walked up to him James jumped out the window. But he forgot he was on a cliff and fell! Evan panicked and jumped after him. Evan went into skydiving pose and James screamed. When they hit the ground they were lying there moaning. Then James ran away. There was a boat house next to a river. You guessed it. James jumped out of the window there into the raging river. Then Evan followed he swam into the raging rapids and then they fell off a waterfall. How far would they fall? Then they hit the rocks and Evans vision blacked out. When he woke up in front of him was James. He saved him.
That was my story.

I stared in disgust at the little rat or as my teacher called it Gunther the Chinchilla. "Take good care of it!" She called right before she rushed out the door. I can't believe we would have a class pet! I took it home and relaxed on the couch eating a Jamaican patty while Gunther stared at it hungrily. "Do you want a piece?" I felt stupid talking to a chinchilla but to my surprise it nodded. I slipped a bit of Jamaican patty into his cage and he furiously devoured it. I gave him the rest of it and then took him up into my room. Gunther looked in wonder and awe so I put him out of his cage to explore. I guess I fell asleep because when I woke up I didn't see Gunther anywhere! I searched for him for about 2 hours when I finally found him in my underwear drawer nibbling on a fresh pair of tighty-whiteies. I put him back into his cage and sighed deeply before I fell back into a deep sleep.

So after I was expelled my stupid parents kicked me out. I twirled my hair chewed my gum and walked out with a tons of stuff, fifty percent of the stuff was makeup and the other half was clothes and gum. As I reached the end of the street I turned left and started to cry, but people gave me dirty stares as they walked by, but I whipped those tears away and took one step forward and through my arms out as they started to run, and I did that to everyone which was quite hard since I live in New York City.
"I have no where to go" I said to the wrinkled lady, working at Starbucks but she just rolled her eyes and walked away, as I snapped back.
"HEY OLD LADY THAT'S MY ACTION" but she just kept walking and everyone stopped and looked at me as I stormed out of the Starbucks. I continued to walk, I walked all the way down to the airport and thought I could just sneak into a plane. I pulled out my bedazzled flip phone and walked with my head down looking at my friend, Clarence's new picture she posted on instagram, and it was a piece of a mop and beside it was a majestic piece of cheese. As I liked the picture, I bumped into a boy, he had a lot of scratches on his face.
"Um excuse me but like, watch were you're going" I said to the boy while slowly looking up. Next thing I know, I was passed out on the ground. When I woke up I saw the same boy.
"Sorry, um I don't even know what to say, I am not allowed to tackle girls anymore, I'm allergic." He said with a wide smile.
"You're joking right?" I said with straight face because I was in a rush to catch a plane I don't belong on.
"Yeah I'm joking" As he started to laugh.
"Listen get out of my way or else things will get bad." I snapped back quickly and I regreted it the minute I said it.
"Well sassy pants, where you heading?" He said as he rolled his eyes.
"New Jersey, where I belong." I turned around and started to walk but he quickly caught up to me.
"Mind if I join you, I got expelled and well I have no place to go and I think we both have some habits to break" He said almost as sassy as me.
"Fine I think I'd like to hear your story and might as well, it is a 3 hour and 35 minute flight!" I realized it was my first sentence without attitude. Hours passed by before we got on the plane. I snuck on the plane, I would tell you but it is another one of my talents. I went first, I told my story I took a while but it looked like he understood. He told me his name, his name is Even. On the first day of school he was expelled for tackling people, so his story took about five minutes. His parents kicked him out because they were in danger, or at least that's what they said. For the next two and a half hours, we watched a movie. We finally landed and as we started to get off the plane, we made a promise that he would no longer tackle people and I would no longer be sassy, nasty, rude, snap back, chew my gum like a cow and twirl my hair. These were big promises but we were willing to take them and challenge our selves. We got off the plane and standing there was...

Coby Quinn just got a brand new job at a brand new school. after 2 incidents at different school's, it's been really tough getting a job. Emphasis on the 'really'.
He got a brand new job at the school of River Oaks Public school. He's heard that that school was pretty crazy, but they said that it would probably suit him. (-_-)
On the first day of school, Coby wanted his first impression to be pretty straight for word. When the bell rang for Gym class, everyone gathered in the center of the gym. He did his attendance, and when he called upon a kid named Evan, he immediately took attention to him. He was kind of twitchy and had this look in his eye...
Anyways,
"Hey guys, My name is Mr. Quinn,"
"Hello Mr. Quinn." The class said together except for one.
Wow, maybe these kids aren't as crazy as I thought.
"Today, we will be playing football!" He said energetically. Everyone cheered except for one kid who just seemed to be a little nervous.
The same kid... This Evan kid has got some problem...
"Before you guys get any ideas, like, 'this class is gonna be a breeze,' or 'This teacher is so nice.' You guys do 5 laps. GO!"
Everybody started to run around the gym. But still that Evan kid just was... twitching...
They finished the laps and were breathing heavily. Alright guys let's go over the rules of two touch football. He went on for what it seemed for hours. When he made teams and lined everyone up. He blew the whistle. As soon as he put the whistle in his mouth, one of the kids screamed 'NOO!!!!' Evan ran towards one of his teammates, and tackled him.
"Hey! Get off of him!" Said Coby.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Evan screamed as he was sprinting towards Coby. Since Coby has catlike reflexes, he dove out of the way as Evan hit the wall pads. He fell to the ground and Mr. Quinn took him down to the office. Evan tried to tackle Coby from 2 feet away while being pulled to the office, but Coby was bigger and stronger. When Coby was taken home, he was transferred to a mental facility and was never seen by anyone at River Oaks again. Once he was sent to the Mental hospital. Evan's parents pressed charges for 'physical abuse' at the school.(when he hit the crash pad's, he got bruises) That's how Mr. Quinn lost his third job...

I decided to integrate Ahmed's character into my story. When I ended my character Josh was headed for the forest on the edge of the school after getting upset that someone (Brad the Bully) did not like his Bionicle Flying Machine and called him a baby. Here is how the story continues:

Josh could feel the blood pounding in his heart. He was fighting to get air into his lungs. Josh's face was damp with tears and the wind felt chilly as it blew across the tears and his hot cheeks. He could see the trees ahead; he felt as if they were calling to him.
"Josh, come climb," they said.

Yes, he needed to climb. As he got nearer to the tall tree with bumpy roots and branches spaced perfectly for climbing, he could see a dark figure lurking in the trees. "Who is that?" Josh wondered.

Curtis Fox, stood smoking a cigarette and as Josh approached he flicked it below his military-style boot and ground it into the dirt. Curtis' black pants and black shirt seemed to blend into his dark skin and the whites of his eyes popped out bright and eerie in his face. Josh stopped. He no longer felt the pull of the trees calling him. He could not stop looking at Curtis' eyes.
Josh smiled and said "hello."
Curtis snarled, his lip curled back and he spat out "Who are you and what are you doing in my woods?"
"These are your woods?" Josh asked.
"Are you stupid?" Curtis yelled.
"I just wanted to climb the tree," Josh explained.
"Hmmm, climb the tree?" Curtis asked. "Why?"
"I like to climb trees when I am stressed. It makes me feel better."
"I have a better idea to help you with your stress." Curtis said. "What is your name?"
"I am Josh."
"No you are James and James if you want to climb these trees you will do as I say." Curtis ordered. "Do you understand?"
Josh shook his head.

I chose Emily character Aeir.

I was in the middle of making a prank on the Principal, Mr.Thompson. All of a sudden there was a power outage. The room I was in had no windows because it was the Principal office. Then I stumbled over something. So reach down and something fleshy and clammy. Then it moved, and I heard a moan. So I jumped back and almost scream! I had found a Zombie! I was petrified! I couldn't move!

"AAaaaiiiiirrrrr..."

What was that? What did it say? Wait, it wants hair?

"FFfffrrrrrreeeeessshhhh AAaaaiiiiirrrrr."

I thought Zombies wants fresh brains not fresh hair? I was so scared I said this out loud.

"NO! I need fresh air!"

"Say what?"

Just then the power went back on. The light blinded me so I rubbed my eyes. I saw a boy lying on the ground, not a Zombie yet. He look very ill.

"Get me to fresh air or I will die."

I acted quickly and helped him up. We moved as quickly as we could towards the door.

Will he make or become the Zombie I had thought he was?

"Fa mi, where are you, they're coming,"
"in the bushes,lets play high, take the sniper towers."
I can't really explain, but Fa mi and I are the, ATSSSSS in world war CHINA. America picked the top two university graduates, with the highest iq, to be the ATSSSSS. The ATSSSSS stands for American top super super super secret spy’s. I don’t know why i chose to be here but I guess its for my country. Fa mi and I both were graduates from Harvard (of course), but right now was more important. We both got into the sniper towers, until I noticed my worst fear, the sniper towers had glass floors. I shot a nervous glance over to Fa mi who was fixing his mexican flow, “whats wrong?” he asked, I started to have a mental breakdown. “ daskavalaskeeee, oh no oh no, please we need to go right now. “WHAT IS WRONG?!” He shouted with rage, “I can’t stand it, were 500 ft in the air, which I’m scared of heights, and we’re standing on a gl-”. Just then I was interrupted by the noise of some cracking glass I looked in every direction, Until… Too be continuded

Clarence looks at his watch and taps his foot impatiently,
"stupid boss... Making me go pick up his daughter," he mutters under his breath. Clarence watches the kids pile out of the front entrance when a gray puffball catches the corner of his eye, he turns his head to see a chinchilla sleeping on the edge of the window. Suddenly, he hears a high pitched voice coming closer and closer to him;
"you my new chauffeur?" Clarence twitches a little at the sound of her voice.
"Are, you're supposed to say are," he corrects her but she rolls her eyes,
"whatever." She puts her hand in front of him and flips her hair, "my name's Lequifa by the way." Clarence stares at her hand and thinks to himself
"at least she has manners," and shakes her hand
"Clarence." In a split second, they hear a scream,
"Gunther's on the window! He's about to fall!" A panic starts to rise as adults hurryingly pull out their phones from their pockets to call the firemen, while kids screaming in fear of their beloved class pet falling to it's doom. Lequifa starts to fan herself,
"clearance or whatever, help it!" Clarence starts to stare at the distressed people, then at Lequifa; her burning stare starts to make him feel hot, and it was the middle of autumn.
"Fine, if the rat dies then it's not my fault."
"It's a chinchilla,"
"a big rat." Clarence stands under Gunther, who is three windows up from him. He raises his arms stretches them out,
"come on Gunther..." It seems that the chinchilla was sleeping through this whole commotion,
"Gunther!" Clarence yells, Gunther wakes up with a jump and falls off the edge of the window. Collective gasps fill the air, Clarence jumps and doesn't manage to catch Gunther. Instead, it falls on his face. Clarence loses his balance and falls on his back, in a pile of scattered leaves. Lequifa runs over to him and takes Gunther off his face, she crouches down beside him;
"you dead?" Lequifa asks, Clarence opens his eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Are, it's 'are you dead'." He replies, she stifles a big smile but loses it and starts laughing. Clarence stands up and dusts himself off,
"let's get going." Lequifa stands up and takes out her gum,
"okay, but I gotta put my gum in the trash and give Gunther to Mr. Quinn;" she points to the muscular teacher who Clarence can only assume is the gym teacher.
"Alright, but make it quick," as she runs away Clarence looks at his watch and taps his foot.

Today when I got to school I heard there was a new student and she had all the same class's as me so I thought why don't I show her around to our class's, so when I get to my first class I hear the teacher starting to talk so I rush in and take my seat just in time. Then he starts talking, "So class we have a new student and her name is Maya I would like someone to show her around" "No one else put there hand up so I said that I will" when we were walking down the hallway I started off showing her to the lockers and hers was right beside mine, after that I showed her the gym, the music room, and everything else. The day went by fast and at the end of the day when everyone was leaving Maya came up to me and said, "Thanks for showing me around I hope we can be friends". "Ya sure I said that will be awesome". Then we went our seprete ways and we were friends for the whole year.

I am doing Erin's character, Mary Silk, and my character Aier




As I rushed out the door, I saw three people at a wooden desk, two were on one side of the desk and one was on the far side. The one on the far side talked in a booming voice and the other two were that were closest to me were were looking kinda guilty, but they were smiling. As the one on the far side was talking, I herd some words,"_______disappointed__________Mary and Mia". Then I felt the world get darker, was I dying. Then I started screaming, Aaaaaiiiirrrrrrrr, FFrrrrreeeeeeesssssssh aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrr. The girls kinda jumped when they saw me. I tried to explain to them but the words weren't clear. Then I think they understood me, but right after I saw there heads nodding with understanding, I blacked out.

Today was the day.........
The day that I finally got to audition to be in our school play.
I was backstage preparing myself and I heard this noise it seemed like a cow was in the building. I looked over and I saw this girl with earrings the size of basketballs and her hair was teased all the way to the moon. Then I realized the sound was coming from her mouth and it was gum! I walked over to her " Hi what is your name" I said
" Oh hey girl i'm like Lequifa and yaaaaaa"
"Are you nervous?" I asked her.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" she answered.
It was time to go onstage and I was soooo nervous but I told everone that I wasn't and I think that I rocked it! But Lequifa on the other hand was not the best dancer I had never seen anyone do the sprinkler so robot like ever. Turns out we are both horrible dancers ( I may have lied about me being a good dancer) and we both did not make it and then Lequifa and I went to my house, she ate sausages and I ate double triple chcolatte cake!
And Lequifa would not stop crying!!!


THE END
Lequifa OUT
