Imagine yourself walking into the biggest theme park in the United States and everybody rushing to get in line for some of the most popular rides in the park. Have you been to Disneyworld? Well I have and I think Disneyworld is much better than Disneyland. Did you know that Disney world is one of the most popular vacation spots in the United States? It gets more than 100,000 visitors each day. In this essay I will compare Disneyworld and Disneyland and try to persuade you to believe Disneyworld is the better park, as I do.
First of all Disneyworld is so much bigger than Disneyland. Why go to the land when you can go to the world?! For example, Disneyland can fit into the front parking lot in Magic Kingdom in Disneywold. Also, Disneyworld is a multi-themed park while Disneyland is a small themed park. At Disneyworld you have 7 places to choose from rather than just two at Disneyland. In addition, Disneyworld was made in 1971 but Disneyland was made in 1955 so Disneyworld has more new rides and attractions.
Some believe Disneyworld is not better. For example, Disneyworld costs about $12 more per person for one day. You could save money by going to Disneyland. Also, some like the location of California better than Florida. Disneyland is also the original theme park, built and created first. That makes it pretty special, in some people's opinions.
Although you would save money on the daily rate for Disneyland and the location might be more appealing to some, I believe that what a park has to offer, the fun and amusement it can provide are the most important points. I believe you truly get your money's worth at Disneyworld because there are a lot more rides and sites to choose from. You have a lot more experiences, choices and therefore memories than in a smaller park like Disneyland.

Just Keep Swimming!
What is your favorite sport? Mine is swimming and I will tell you some reasons why
it should be yours. I might also tell you why you might not think so, if that was possible.
One reason why I think swimming is the best sport is swimming is because if you swim
for a while you will become very healthy. Take Michael Phelps for an example, he eats over
1,000 calories just for breakfast. Another reason is because you get to mess around in water.
The last reason is because you don't get sweaty and you wouldn't get as dehydrated like say
running or a sport that you are working the whole time.
Now I will tell you some reasons why you might think otherwise about swimming. One is
because it doesn't have action or violence. Another reason is because it's very easy and it takes
hard work. The last and final one is because you would have to eat healthy which means eating
gross food like fruits and vegtebles.
Now that I have told you some reasons about swimming, you decide the better sport, the smart
thing to do is choose swimming, but it's your decision.

Where Do You Go For Vacation?
"I have no idea were to go this year for the family!"Mrs. Jamies said. "Well, what about Wisconson? Just pichure it, the hot, shimering sun on you face, your kids enjoying the water by the splashing waves, and then having a relacing time by the fire at night. What do you say?" I answered. "I guess I could give it a try." This post will be about my side and everyone else's thought about Wisconson.
My side of the story
Wisconsin is the best place for a vacation because that there are tons of lakes to play in. You can go swimming, skiing, nee boarding, and tubing in the summer. You can also do skating and ice fishing in the lake and in the snow you can go sledding, make snowman, and have snowball fites in the winter. In all of these you can enjoy the great outdoors.
Wisconson is so great because it has a town called Wisconsin Dells with a great hotel named Kalahari. There is an amusement park with a race track, restaurants, and jungle gyms there. There's also lazier gun fites, a farriers wheel, and a game room. There is a movie theater, a water park inside and out, and relaxing mud baths.
Wisconson is so amazing because there is a big city, the capital, Madison, Wisconsin which is really fun there. Their are tons of shopping malls and stores, on the river you can go sailing and fishing there. They have a lot of great restaurants, cool hotels, and big theaters there too.
The other side of the story
Wisconsin isn't the best vacation place. It's not warm all year round there. It's a place where they have four seasons and it gets hot and cold.
It's in the middle of nowhere sometimes in Wisconsin. There are big cities and small towns with not that many people, or it might be just a bunch of farmland.
It's cold a lot longer than other places. A detail is that it's farther up north and it snows a lot. It takes along time for it to melt when it is bitter cold up there.
"My family and I had a blast at Wiconson. We are so glad we came here and hope that you would what to come here sometime too, like us. We wish you happy vacations."

Tackle or Catch
"Crack!" The shoulder pads hit!
"Slam!" The helmets bang!
"Umph!" The sound of the player hitting the ground.
"Yeah!" The roar of the crowd."You just saved a touchdown!"
That is why I like football more than baseball. Just feeling the momentum of hitting someone. I know a lot of people that like both sports. That's why I chose to do this topic for my opinion essay. So, do you like football or baseball more? In this essay you will learn why both sports are good and some what bad.
Football is better than baseball because football is a high scoring game. Touchdowns are 7 points and field goals are 3 points. The next reason that football is better than baseball is that you are blocking and tackling so you are constantly moving around. Another reason football is better than baseball is that in football you get to tackle people. You wear pads and a helmet and you get to cream them! The last reason football is better than baseball is that you can catch and throw the football with out using a baseball glove since the ball is bigger. That is why football is better than baseball.
Football isn't better than baseball because baseball isn't as physical as football so your body doesn't take a beating. The next reason football isn't better than baseball is that since your body doesn't take a beating, you play 100 games a year instead of 16. The last reason football isn't better than baseball is that in baseball you have more playing time. You are not using much energy so you get to play both offense and defense. That is why football isn't better than baseball.
Even though I like football over baseball, baseball is still an awesome sport to play. That is why I want to know what people like more, football or baseball. So, if you could please leave me a comment telling me if you like football or baseball more, that would be great! Thanks!!!!!

Tens!
Do you like go fish or even solitaire.Well I like tens .This opinion essay will show why tens is the best card game and other opinions.
Why I think tens is the best card game is because,you can play by yourself or two players.You can play all sorts of games,double tens two players, or even six players but you would need six decks. Its quick challenging and in double tens it test your speed.
Other people might think that tens is the worst game ever and black jack is the best.Here are some examples why tens wouldn't be so great .For two players you would need 104 cards that you might not have.You might not be so good at shuffling but you need to know how to shuffle to win.All the games very similar that might not be so fun.
I understand why people think its not so great.But I hope I changed your opinion.

Baseball or Couch Potato
What do you like to do in the summer? If you like to sit and watch T.V., well then get a new hobby! I think baseball is a great sport and a great hobby for the summer.
One reason is that you are up and active instead of watching T.V. all day and being lazy. When you are watching T.V. you are not doing anything for others. You will be able to do something for others just by hitting the ball. Then you will have a good feeling and you will get better. If you are a fan then you can go to games and have fun there. You will be able to watch them and maybe get a souvenir!
Some people say that baseball is dangerous. Some people can get hurt by the balls. Pitches are wild and not good. Games are crowded a lot of times. Stadiums can hold a lot of people and they're big. Sitting in the stands in the summer can be really hot! It won't be so fun if you are burning up in the sun.
I understand why people do not like baseball. When you are playing you will build muscles, learn to interact with others, your social life will get bigger, and you can get more friends. Now would you rather be a couch potato or having fun with others playing sports? It is your choice, not mine.

Suburb or City?
When I envision the town I want to live in I think of a nice quiet suburb. Others think of a busy bustling city. Where would you rather live?
I think that Waukee is the best town for a family to live in.
This is because Waukee has a big population with small town characteristics. Every year there is an Easter Egg-Hunt, 4th of July fireworks show, Waukee Fest, & a Winter Fest.
There is always something to do in Waukee. Whether it's a library program, a Warrior football game, or a high school play there is never a boring moment in Waukee.
Waukee School District is a local, high-ranking school system. While still growing dramatically in size we are also growing educationally & technologically.
On the other hand West Des-Moines is a very large, overpopulated town.
West Des-Moines has more shopping centers than the urban area it surrounds. When the suburb is just as large as the city it's starting to get overpopulated.
The school district of west Des-Moines has 14 district facilities and the biggest high school in the state. With a very widespread district the learning is not student based.
You can't walk a couple of blocks down the road and have the park, bowling alley, & grocery store at your finger tips. West Des-Moines is triple the size of Waukee making it hard to walk everywhere.
Waukee is a nice quiet town close to the city with everything you need right by you while West Des-Moines is busy and bustling as the city itself.

Sailing Anyone?
Do you have a favorite summer activity? I think that sailing is the best summer activity. It's ecspecially fun when the waves are big and you rock back and forth. It's always wavy where the yacht club is. I am going to tell you about the pros and cons of each side.
Sailing is the best summer activity because it's something to do. A lot of kids get bored in the summer and they need something interesting to entertain them. Sailing is perfect! Sailing also teaches you how to cooperate with others, because you have to work together so the boat doesn't tip over. In sailing you don't just do one thing you do multiple things which make it interesting. You can steer the boat, run front or main sail, and much more.
However, I can understand how you may think that sailing is a great activity. You might not have access to a sailboat so therefore you wouldn't think sailing is fun. Some people might not be able to take lessons for various reasons, so you can't learn how. Others just get so stuck to one thing that they aren't willing to try other things.
I think that sailing is a great activity to do in the summer on those blazing hot days, because you are on water to cool you off. It is just something to keep you busy.

Kick, dribble, volley, SCORE!
Do you like to play sports? I do and I love it. Sports keep me busy, and I have to work hard. In this essay, I will tell you that sports are hard work, but worth it. So her it goes:
I play soccer and I am on 2 basketball teams. One is a game team, and the other is a tournament team. I also play volleyball. All these sports make you work hard, and you have a lot of fun playing and seeing your friends.
They sometimes conflict, but I make it work. Sometimes it is hard, but I have to make a choice. Some people don't like sports because they have to run, they don't like what you have to wear, or they think it is boring. But I bet you could find a sport you like. I love sports, and I bet you would too if you give it a chance!

Soccer is fun!
Do you think soccer is fun? Yes, it's different then most sports that's what I like about it. I am going to tell you the bad and good reasons but I want you to get in to soccer, so I hope you change your mind.
One thing is it has competition because you try to steal the ball and score. In most sports you use your hands not in soccer. Its fun to use your feet.
Scoring a goal is not as easy as it looks people think it's a easy to score. To score in soccer you must pass people just think you can run up a field and kick it its not that easy you must PASS! You have to run and try to pass the ball up the field and try to score.
These are some things people said how its not a fun sport.
They said its so boring you just sit there and do nothing. Also people think you just run up and down a field. people wonder if how they can't get so bored out there they think were crazy,well there crazy.
I hope my opinion changed your mind about soccer I hope yo like it. You should try it some time when your free!
"Walls" way to hard.
"The agony, oh the agony. I don't dream I can make it." Those were words of by a victim of a wall. You can easily wound yourself by hitting them. Many living souls hit them and really hate them.Well do you?
They are really weird and are made out of really hard concrete bricks. I have hit many walls and I have gotten damaged. I have seen ancestors in the hospital because of those hard bricks. OK maybe not but walls are still firm. I can see why they are hard, they need to hold up the walls. Walls can also be changed into different colors to make them look cool. Still if you hit a wall they will hurt you severely. I know that some men don't care how hard walls are, but I do! Walls are good for holding up a building, but walls are not good for our safety. Walls why do they have to be so hard? "Sigh". I think that walls are to hard and should be as soft as feathers.
In the situation of you hitting a wall what would you rather hit a feather or a brick wall! Whats your answer?

09-11-01 A Tragedy Remembered
9-11 is the day the World Trade Center Twin Towers fell. In this interview I will be interviewing my Dad Damon Butler about the 9-11 tragedy. The 9-11 tragedy is a sad historical event that everyone will always remember. On this day four commercial passenger jet airliners were hijacked by 19 Al-Waeda terrorists and two were crashed into the Twin Towers. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. I was only 3 years old when this happened but always see information on it when the date September 11th happens. Almost 3,000 people died that day.
The following is an interview with Damon Butler on his memory of the 9-11 Tragedy:
Question: Where were you when you first found out about the 9-11 attacks?
D.B.: At home getting ready for work. My Wife Nicole called me and told me to turn on the TV. She said that planes were crashing into buildings in New York City.
Question: What was your first reaction when you saw what was happening on TV?
D.B.: Confusion. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I remember the newscaster saying that a plane hit one of the Twin Towers. Then they showed the building. Minutes later, another plane hit the other Twin Tower. I thought, what are the odds? It must be terrorists. It was the craziest thing I’d ever seen. So many emotions.
Question: What happened next?
D.B.: They kept reporting on the tragedy, showing the burning towers. Then other reports came in on other planes being off course. A report came on that another plane hit the Pentagon. At around that time, the next thing I saw was footage of people running away from the Towers, people falling from the windows, rescue workers running to the Towers. Then the unthinkable happened. One of the Towers collapsed. It was like holding your breath. Watching with silence as no one could even talk or think knowing that people were still in that building. Then the second Tower collapsed.
Question: After you saw all of this, what were you thinking?
D.B.: Anger. I remember thinking, how dare someone attack us right here in the United States. I knew it had to be a terrorist attack. Then safety and protection. I remember thinking about my Wife, Children, and Co-Workers. I called everybody I could. The crazy thing is that I had some of my staff going to Chicago for training and I called them and told them to turn around and come back to the Quad Cities. They had no idea what had happened. I’ll be honest. As a former Officer in the United States Army, I wanted justice and had many emotions running through me.
Question: How did things change after 9-11?
D.B.: It will never be the same for me personally. Security at airports got extremely tough. I don’t think anyone was comfortable flying. So many things changed. So many things. The world as we knew it changed forever after that day.
The date 9-11 means so much too so many people. It’s tough to imagine what it was like when the attacks happened back in 2001. Anger, sadness, frustration, fear, revenge...hopefully I’ll never have to experience a tragedy like 9-11.

Water Wars!!!
I am interviewing my mom on what happened in Des Moines, Iowa in 1993. Here is her side of the story!
Where were you and what were you doing the time the flood was announced?
"I was at home with my dog watching T.V."
How did you feel when you found out?
"Shocked and a little scared at the same time. But I mainly felt worried for people who lived closer to the river."
Were you affected in any way if so how?
"I couldn't wash my clothes or take showers for 10 days it was a stressful time for most people."
Did you or others you know lose anything in the flood?
No but some of my friends lost most of the items they had in their basement they had to move somewhere else but some people weren't that lucky."
What exactly cause the flood in the first place?
"From days of rain which caused the Raccoon River and the Des Moines River to over flow and flood most of downtown Des Moines and other states were affected to."
How and when did you hear about the flood?
"From watching T.V."
What was your reaction when you found out about the flood?
"I was really sad and worried because I didn't know when it would end so I just had to pray and hope for the best."
How did others react to the horrifying news?
"They were sad scared and worried just like I was everybody for once chances are they felt the same way."
Did the flood bring people together if so how?
"Yes it did bring people together by having us work as a team to get the job done and accomplish something we would soon figure out pays off when you have someone to be there helping."
I learned alot from interviewing my mom I also learned that if you work together the hard work pays off in the end but also that the flood didn't just wreck houses and other structures it made history.
I hope you enjoyed reading my story!

The Heroic War
The Heroic War
By Dmitriy H
Interview of Wanda H
The Vietnam War started in 1957 when communist North Vietnam began to attack the government and officials of South Vietnam. These terrorists who fought in the guerilla warfare were called Viet Cong.
South Vietnam was supported by the United States who sent advisors. Combat troops were sent in 1965.
What did you feel when the Vietnam War happened?
I felt bad when the Vietnam War happened because the young boys were sent to the war and being killed. Any young man who didn’t attend college was automatically drafted.
Which of your siblings were in the Vietnam War?
My brother joined the army but he could have been drafted because he just dropped out of college, too.
What was good about their experience?
War is never a good experience. He made new friends, but didn’t need to have made those friends in the war.
What was bad about the Vietnam War?
Once again people die. The war was supposed to be to stop communism. We weren’t sure that the soldiers should have been there.
What scared you about the Vietnam War?
First of all I was scared that my brother, young men and friends might die. I didn’t
like the division of our country. I didn’t like people not following rules.
What was the reason they went?
Some people believed it was necessary to stop the spread of communism around the world.
I want to know more about how you felt when your brother went into the Vietnam War.
I was upset that he didn’t stay in college and avoid going to the war.
What were you doing when the Vietnam War happened?
I was in school and I was in my senior year. And when my brother came home I was in my second year of college.
Where were your parents?
Well my dad left our family. My mom took care of me, and my sister was in her apartment.
What did you do when the Vietnam War ended?
I rejoiced I was teaching school and was extremely happy .Happy to see people come home to their family.
What did your brother do in the War?
He was a combat engineer. They build the bridges during the day and the enemy tore it down during the night.
I interview my mom. Lots of people died but it was a great war. People were sad but they never forgot that day. Dmitriy H
