My shoulder was wounded largely and I was just about ready to give up. I might as well. I mean I'm just about dead. But I'm not one to give up easily."Hey you," I said. He turned, and stared at me in awe of how I had'nt bit the dust.
"OK how are you not dead?"he said confused. I pulled out a 22 rifle and shot. Bam! It hit him in the left shoulder. I ran up to him and pulled out a knife and pushed it into his chest.
"Gah,"I said awaking from my nightmare. I wearely slumped out of bed. I jumped in the shower and turned on the radio. The music blared.
"I will not die, I'll wait here for you, I feel alive when your beside me, I will not die I will survive,"the music said. When I got out of the shower I ran downstairs to get ready. What was that dream about? I wonder what it means? Will I kill one of my own?
"Morning sleepy head,"said Daniel. He was my uncle and escorted me to earth after my people were enslaved by our leaders and high council. Hi, my name is Sam. I'm twelve and I'm an extraterestrial but you would call me an alien. I mean you no harm. I'm actually here to protect you. So are the rest of us."So eat and get in the car cause I've gotta get ya to school"

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
