My book is called The Sign of Four. It is about a person named Sherlock Holmes who solves a lot of mysteries. Then one day a beautiful woman began to get strange clues about her long-lost father. She really couldn’t do anything about it so the only thing she could do was to turn to Sherlock Holmes, one of the best detectives there is. After she turned to Sherlock Holmes he replied to her saying “What a pretty little mystery. Yes I would help you darling” Also, he expects that he could solve this mystery without that much trouble happening. The main characters were Sherlock Holmes who was a great detective and he always wears a plaid cover hat, a plaid cover shirt, and maybe some plaid cover shoes too. In this book the story takes place in East India and it could of took place in 1887. The genre of my book is thriller/mystery because it deals with murders, strange letters or notes, and the most important part of it being a mystery is that the main character has to be part of the authorities like Sherlock Holmes because he is a detective. The things about what the author did that I like was that he made the stories exciting and suspenseful, that’s all I like about what the author did. People would like this book because it has murders, suspenseful moments and real exciting parts that people would love. This is my book review about The Sign of Four.

It was July 29, 2007 when the worst disaster of my life. It was a sunny warm Saturday. I was playing basketball with a couple of my friends in the back of my house. We played a game of 50. My friend shot the ball and it went over the old rusty gate. I climbed the gate to get the ball faster. I threw the ball over and climbed the gate to come back to the other side. Then about 2 minutes later I shot the ball over the gate. This time I walked around the gate to get the ball. I threw the ball over the gate once more and then I walked around. Less then ten minutes later I shot the ball over the gate again. I was mad because I was tired of going back and forth to get the ball. I was too tired to walk around the gate so I started to climb. As I was climbing the gate I made it to the top of the gate. As I was jumping to the other side it happened. I fell down and got caught on the gate. The gate was so old and rusty it went through my skin. My shirt was ripped and a lot of blood was just oozing out. I ran in the house crying. My older sister came out of her room and asked “what happened?” I just kept scream “I’m going to die, I’m going to die.” She said “your not going to die.” She rapped some tissue over it, and then she called my god mother and told her what happened. She rushed home and took me to the emergency room. The doctors gave me 32 stitches. I couldn’t do anything for a week like take a shower and ride my bike. I never climbed a gate again.

“I never thought I would see the day……”That me as a young girl still in school doing good and trying to domore. I wanted to be more for myself and for my family. Most girls myage now at fifteen wouldn’t be in school just because they disliked itand wanted to be cool. They skipped just to do something lessimportant maybe good or bad it was a way for them to get out ofschool. Others that ended up pregnant didn’t get the love they thoughtthey disserved so they went to find it some place else temporarily.Some of the things I mentioned are stereo types but some arestatistically proven. That’s why I feel like its my job to love myselfenough so I don’t have to make that horrible Mistake. So this is meencouraging every young girl out there not to be a statistic and makethat horrible Choice.

The Day My Great Grand Mother Died It had been a whole entry month that the Bruce family was checking in and out of the Mass General Hospital. My great grand mother Pearl was placed there for serious help. She could not breathe on her own and she was never feeling good. She was living off the machine and at some points she could not even move. I did not really know Ms. Pearl like that because she spent most of her life back home in Jamaica until she came back to America to try and find a cure for her sickness. Before Ms. Pearl passed away she left back thirteen children. Four boys and nine girls. Also about forty grandchildren and more than ninety great grand children. She passed away at the age of ninety-seven. I know that I didn’t really know her, but I was going to feel my father’s pain. His grand mother had passed and he was never going to feel the same. I believed that heaven was a much better place for her be in, than to be on the earth feeling so much pain. I was going to miss her and so was my family, but I know was going to be in a much better place.

Elijah SilvaWriting 9 The Narrative Essay My mom came in my room at 9:45 and told me I don’t have school tomorrow. I didn’t really care because it was snowing outside. I stayed up and watched movies till I fell asleep. The next day when I was in my bed I felt my phone vibrating on my bed and it was my dad calling me. I answered and he said “Get dressed”. I brushed my teeth and got dressed. I went downstairs and my dad had my brother in the passenger seat. I got in the car and he told me we have three properties to shovel. Two of them are in Hyde Park and the other one is in Fields Corner. He said he’ll pay me, but I said no I just want my laptop back. My mom took my laptop away because I had bad grades. So he agreed and we drove to Fields Corner. I was starving in the car. I told him and we picked up some breakfast at New York Pizza on Mass. Ave. We started off in Fields Corner. It was still snowing, but it was a light snow. The wind was blowing so hard that my hood kept falling off. I didn’t have my gloves on the first round so I wasn’t shoveling well. We finished shoveling, and then my Dad got the salt machine to spread the salt. On to the next one, a big house in Hyde Park. We had to do the front and back. The porch was as big as a whale.
