Basketball is better than Football

I am going to tell you somethings about why basketball is better then football and why basketball isnt better then football. Some people think basketball is better than football because it is easier to score. You do not really have to run that much and if you do not have a good shoot then just pass the ball to one of your teammates. In football, you cannot throw your teammate the ball every time you are stuck you have to either run or be tackled. If someone hits you or something like that then it is a foul because you cannot just go up to someone and tackle him or her. Basketball is for girls and boys, football is not, and this is why there is an NBA and WNBA. These are some reason that basketball is not better then football because you can tackle people. You can get people back if they tackle you and it really hurts. You can hurt people and you can lean on people but in basketball if you do that it will be a foul. Football is only for boys some people believe that girls will cry every time they are hurt or tackled. I hope you learned something about basketball and football and i also hope you all enjoyed my essay.

Incredible Pizza

When we first arrived at Incredible Pizza I could smell the fresh air. As I walked I a little bit farther I could smell the pizza. It smelled like a bunch like a bunch of flavors put together. When I looked around I could see a bunch of people laughing and enjoying the fun. It was very noisy when I got closer to the games. Then I went to go eat, while I was  eating I could hear people screaming. When I was done eating the first thing I did was Go Carts. I was in first place the whole race. As I was driving the Go Carts I was a little bit scared that I might hit something or someone. If  I would of did that then I would have to get out of the Go Carts and my race would of been over. But luckily I didn't as I was driving I could feel the breeze. At the end of the race I was still in first place and I got ribbon. After a while I played a game it was very fun. You have to pull down this red thing  and whatever it lands on that's how many tickets you get, I got 250. I heard lots of kids yell as they won games. It was someone's birthday and everyone was shouting.
