Blog Post of the Week!

Congratulations to Brendan J. of D Block for his amazing "Snowimagination" Post! His vivid details really helped his descriptive writing come alive! He definitely "showed" us what his blizzard experience would be like, rather than simply telling us. It's quite obvious that he proofread as well, considering his slim to none grammar/spelling errors!

Way to go Brendan!

"It was a quiet, peaceful night. I lay down, restless in my bed, tossing and turning. I managed to crawl out just enough to see the enormous cumulonimbus clouds over the horizon line, rolling into Gloucester. It was like watching a horror movie, the eerie silence before an epic battle was to commence. Just the thought of it sent chills cascading down my spine, so I decided to retreat to my warm, cozy bed, and I slept through the rest of the night. When I awoke, the clock did not show time, which could only mean that the power had gone out. I rushed downstairs to a blazing wood fire that illuminated the room. My sister told me that the power had indeed gone out over the night which was caused by a freak snow storm. The snow had completely barricaded the door so no one could enter in or out. My sister and I made hot cocoa and watched from the skylight, the snowflakes drop one by one. I studied the individual pattern of each snowflake as it landed softly on the window. If only there was a way to reach the outer world and play in the soft, fluffy snow. Wait! The idea hit me like a brick in the head. We made our way to the garage and grabbed two large shovels. I opened the door and the entire doorway was covered in heavily compacted snow, preventing us from seeing outside. Slowly, we chipped away at the snow, creating a large hole for us to pass through. I wiggled into my snow attire and ran outside to jump in the snow. My sister and I made snow angels, had a snowball fight with our neighbors, and even made a large mountain of snow to sled down. After we had done our share of playing, our mother told us to carry in the christmas tree and we would decorate it. The tree consisted of beautiful white lights, many different colored bulbs, and family made ornaments. When we finished, we had a filling chinese food dinner and then my siblings and I all went off to our rooms, remembering the wonderful day we had together.

Many people think that the world is going to end very soon. Personally, I do not believe the rumor and never intend to in the future. However, if the world does infact end, I hope to spend every last minute of it with my family, and my friends, all the people that I love."
