Doug stood in silence as the chopper landed in the junkyard. He had been faced with death many times before but had never felt this scared. The most feared inmate of all time, Shawn Reeve, just handed him his death on a silver platter. Suddenly, he got a shove from behind.
"Move it Ferguson. The fight starts in a few minutes, and Buzzard himself wants to lead you to your starting point," the officer said. Doug wasn't surprised at all. Buzzard knew that Doug could take out as many officers as he wanted to, and also knew that he was stronger than Doug. He was right. Buzzard stepped into the chopper and grabbed Doug by the arm.
"Get ready for the fight of your life. Follow me," Buzzard said. Doug followed him while the rest of the inmates stayed in the chopper. Buzzard led him into the woods that grew on the junkyard and stopped. "This is where you start. You should thank me, you can see everyone else, but most of them can't see you. Now sit back and relax until the fight begins," stated Buzzard as he left Doug alone. Doug was surprised that Buzzard had given him the advantage. He always thought that Buzzard hated his guts. He did say that most people couldn't see him, but it was pretty obvious that Shawn could see him. All of a sudden, the announcer's voice filled the junkyard.
"Ladies and Gentleman, Punishment Day is about to begin. The rules are simple, when the gong goes off, the fight begins. Weapons are hidden throughout the junkyard. The only way to win is to be the last living inmate among all. The lone victor will get the ultimate prize, freedom. Now, before we begin, we have another contestant to compete!"
"WHAT!" Doug yelled. Another fighter in the fight wasn't good news. He couldn't imagine who it would be. The chopper came into sight and the contestant jumped out. Doug knew who it was in an instant. But he couldn't believe who he saw. He rubbed his eyes but he still saw the same figure walking out of the chopper. He couldn't believe it was him. It was Jason.

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?
