t is for tilly




Tilly is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is a 6 pound , hairy ball of energy. She is my dog. Tilly is 16 years old. She has a white coat with brown spots on her face and and tail. She is a pure bred Jack Russel terrior. They were first bred by Reverend John Russell, a parson and hunting enthusiast born in 1795. He bred the dogs to have a high stamina for chasing foxes and have the courage and build to go down fox holes to get the fox during hunts. It was important that the terrier did not hurt the fox during the chase as this was considered unsportsmanlike.
Now for my dog's history. She was born on june ninth, 1995. I think she was the smallest one of the litter ,the term for that is the runt , but she never backed down. She would fight anything. She even fought a rabbit but the rabbit won and Tilly has a big scratch on her nose for a few weeks. She learned her lesson until she took on a German Shepherd. Tilly chased the shepherd and thought she had won until the dog new he was bigger. well thets my dog memo bont attak a digger dog

Soccer is one of my favorite sports of all time besides hockey. It has all my favorite things. It has running. For soccer, you need to be able to run fast to get by the other players to be able to score on the net. The other great thing about soccer is it is the cheapest sport. To play, you only need three pieces of equipment: cleats, shine guards and socks. The team work is amazing. I also love soccer tournaments. They are fun, and have alot of actiities, good shopping and a chance to meet new players.
Soccer was invented a long time ago but it's modern rules were known as by The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848. These rules were influential in the development of codes for soccer play and helped form The Association Football in England at Trinity College. Today ,soccer is played in all four corners of the earth. In Canada ,every 50 out of 1,000 people play soccer and we even have a national team that is very bad.

Every body loves it, it goes great with popcorn, pop, pizza, and steak. It’s the only thing you love more than you family, besides your computer, it’s the shiny box that sits in front of your couch, it’s your TV, yes, television. A TV image is made by displaying many sequential images very quickly, in order that the brain sees them as one moving picture. A German scientist named Paul nipokow introduced the television to the world in 1884. It was made up of many lined disc’s’ that when spun made a moving picture. A lot of types of TV have been invented, including mirror based and plasma, and three-d wich desplase many flicers of light to make it three d

S is for the simpsons

One of the longest running shows, and one of my favorites, is the Simpsons. From the catchy theme song to the creepy yellow completion they’re aswome. The Simpsons started April 19,1987, since then they have been on air for 21 seasons, 451 episodes, and one great movie. But if you look at their yellowness you will notice they have gone from yellow, to stew yellow, to a barf yellow. Even though they have changed color they have made yellow what it is today, the bright happy color that is perfect for skateboarding downtown, Made pink cars the perfect car, and blue tower like hair fashionable. Some of the Simpsons most famous characters are Bart, voiced by Nancy Cartwright, Lisa, voiced by Yeardley smith, Homer, voiced by Dan castellaneta, and Marge by Julie kavenr.

M is for Muskoka

my favoright place in the wourld is muskoka . Muskoka has just over 50,000 permanent residents, but an additional 100,000 seasonal property owners spend their summers in the region every year. Many of the seasonal properties are large mansion-like summer estates, some of which have been passed down through families from generation to generation. Most of these expensive properties can be found along the shores of Muskoka's three major lakes,Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, and Lake Joseph. In recent years alote of famous peaplel have built their retreats in Muskoka, including Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Mike Weir, Martin Short, Goldie Hawn andKurt Russell.

The soap opera Paradise Falls, about a fictitious cottage community, was shot partly on location here, to take advantage of the scenic background. Many summer camps are located in the region, which offer opportunities for canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, waterskiing, and other water activities, and to provide a refuge from hot, smoggy cities during the summer months.

The Teletoon animated reality show Total Drama Island takes place in fictitious Camp Wawanakwa, an island summer camp located "somewhere" in Muskoka.

There are six municipalities in Muskoka: the towns of Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, and Huntsville; and the townships of Georgian Bay, Lake of Bays, and Muskoka Lakes. I love this place

How writers make you feel empathy

Empathy is the understanding of others feelings. A writer can make you feel empathy in many ways and in many situations. You can relate to the emotions that the character is feeling by reading the descriptive words the author wrote and turn it in to empathy. The writer uses adjectives that you can understand and relate to .The words make you feel sad, happy, scared or mad. The writer creates a situation that you can relate to from life, TV, newspapers or books.

The writer uses details that make you think about what’s happening to the character in the story. They use really descriptive words so you know what’s happening to the character. If they live in a bombed-out house, you feel for where they live and you can understand the horrible conditions that they live in. Some synonyms for empathy are understanding, composition, compassion and that’s what empathy makes you feel.

s is for short storys

I love short stories, short stories about dogs, short stories about Adam Sandler, short stories about anything. Here is one of my favorite short stories, about me getting amnesia.

“Where am I”? I thought as I rubbed my eyes awake in a strange room. I turned my head to examine the room, still half asleep. “Is this my house?" I said in a puzzled voice. My eyes popped open. “Who am I?" I said with great confusion. I stepped out of my bed still puzzled by the surroundings. I put on a pair of shoes hopping they were mine. I walked downtown and then I hard someone shout “ Ethan!”!. I kept walking. Suddenly someone grabbed me by the shoulder. “Ethan ,what’s up?” A man said, “Who’s Ethan?""Who are you?” I said. The man looked puzzled “ What ,are you okay?” the man asked “I think so “I answered not knowing who the man was or what he was talking about. “Do I know you?” I said “Ya I’m Matt” he said looking confused

“Do you remember anything?” He said “No” I said, “ I don’t” I said." You need help " he said "No I don’t." I said. Then it started to hit me. The next day I woke up in the hospital, my family and friends around me "What am I doing here?" I asked "You had amnesia and then got hit on the head so I guess you remember “ I spent the next three days in hospital and then got out just to get amnesia three days later.

amines is for the greek term Ἀμνησία that means lose of memory that could stem from fiscal contact or mitcal like a family dissuades it is a temporary lose of memory but can be permanent
