favorite fall activite

My favorite fall activity is playing football with my friends. The friends I like to play football with are Connor, Troy and Aaron. We like to play at Connor’s house a lot because he has a very big backyard. My favorite part is probably catching a pass, running for a touchdown and diving into the end zone. I enjoy this because it makes me feel ecstatic and joyful. We usually get three extra people to play with us, and we assign three people to each team. Connor’s backyard is probably about seventy yards, so it is very exhausting when you run down our custom field. On a rare occasion, we’ll have specific plays, but most of the time its just go deep and get open. If we do call a more specific play then I would favor the flea flicker. In this play we give the runner the ball, he pitches it back to the quarterback who throws the ball to the receiver. This play will work seven out of ten times. We like to play tackle instead of touch because it’s way more realistic. The only time we won’t play tackle is when one of us is hurt or there is a little kid playing. When the younger kids are around we usually have to play with a softer ball so it is easier for them to catch it. Sometimes when I score, I take a second to catch my breath and take in all of my surroundings. In the fall I like the sound of crashing waves at the shore of the lake and the brilliant colors of the leaves and trees. Some days when it’s raining, we slide in the mud. The scariest part of playing is probably trying to tackle Connor because he is much bigger than me, and he can apply bone-crushing hits. Football is my favorite fall activity because I get to play outside with my friends and enjoy the fall weather.

Sameness and diffrence

I personally think that our world could be good with sameness but at the same time it would be better without sameness. The main reasons our world would be beneficial with sameness is because there would be more peace. If there was world peace then the world would be a utopia. There would only be one religion so no one would have to fight over witch is right, no one would make fun of each other because of there skin color, race, height, weight, age, who their friends are, and what they do. There would not be any war, terrorists, racism, and violence. Also, if there were sameness our school would easily reach its goal of being bully free. If there were sameness all the wars that are in our past wouldn’t have happened witch would be a major problem. If we didn’t have the wars then our technology would not be very advanced.
Unfortunately with sameness no one would be able to express themselves by doing what they like to do. For example, if there was sameness I wouldn’t be able to race bmx, ski, play football, and play paintball. If we had sameness a lot of fun activities that we enjoy doing today wouldn’t be around. For example, if we had sameness no person would ever have his or her own birthday party. Henry Ford probably wouldn’t have created a car if we didn’t have major happenings on our American timeline. Thomas Edison might not have thought of an idea for a light bulb because if there were sameness no one would need one. My main concern with sameness is that if we had it I wouldn’t have as much fun as I have without it. In my opinion right now I would say that our world is better without sameness.
