Tragedies vs. Comedies

The question that I ask myself today is do I like tragedies or comedies?

 Allow me to backtrack. About two weeks ago, my mom started reading Shakespeare plays with me. So far we have read Taming of the Shrew, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, Hamlet, Much Ado about Nothing, King Lear and The Merchant of Venice. If you haven’t read these plays, Antony and Cleopatra, Hamlet, and King Lear are tragedies and the rest are comedies.

Truthfully I like…both.  They both are funny and interesting. I like the cool duel that Hamlet and Laertes had. I like Merchant of Venice for Shylock’s weird bond of one pound of flesh (maybe he’s a flesh collector). Anyway, those two are just examples of what I like about the tragedies and the comedies.

What I Want To Do This Summer

     In twelve days, me and my siblings will be out of school. This summer I want to:
• Write a Book
• Go to the Pool
• Go to the Skate Park
• Win a true Starcraft 2 game
• Etc…
I want to write a 25,000 word book. You may say that it is easy, but it is somewhat hard. I’ve also have no idea what I’m going to write about, but this is going to be a whole summer project. I want to go to the pool at least 15 times. I also want to get Kirby and Elliot to at least go of the diving board once. I also want to go to the new skate park at least once or twice. I want to win a true Starcraft 2 game. If you want to know why, I will tell you. Over the past month, I have spent two weeks playing one Starcraft 2 game a night. I lost all 12 games. Anyway, here are just some of the things that I want to do this summer.

My Violin

Four years ago, I started to play the violin. I thought that it would be fun, but it turned out that I might not want to play it anymore. But like many other things that I like at first then despise it then like it again, I have grown to like my violin. Now I have stuck to violin for four years and I love it now. It is very fun to play and to rush through the notes as if they were wind gusts. It is also fun to play solos and parts that only you get to play. Playing violin is so much fun. If you can, try to play the violin. If you are unable to play the violin, then listen to violin music and see how exciting it is!

The Next 13 Years of My Life

I've been 13 for a week...and here's a "bare minimum" list of things I want to get done before I turn 26.

• Pass Driver's Education
• Pass High School
• Pass College
• Get a House
• Stay Single????
• Move Somewhere
• Get A Car
• Get A Job

If I plan to get a car, I have to pass Driver’s Education.  I want to get a Mustang if I can.  First though, I have to pass High School and College.  I want to go to Iowa State University.  After I get done with school, I want to get a job and a house.  I might get a wife or I might stay single. That is undecided yet. I want to move to Hawaii or California or maybe even out of the country. Anyway, these are just some of the things that I would like to do.

My Birthday

 On Monday the 23, I was finally a teenager.
 I love to play games, soccer and many more.  I also love to bike, eat, and watch movies, listen to music, golf and many many many more.
 I like to play Starcraft 2, Munchkin, Axis and Allies and more. I like watching the History channel and the Military History channel (Fine, I might be a geek, but it has some pretty cool stuff on there). I like to eat pizza, Mac and cheese, bread, Tator Tot Casserole. I like to listen to Flo-rida, Cobra Starship, Maroon 5 and Adele.

My Soccer Game

    Saturday was a big day- my first soccer game of the season.
    At 11:00 on Saturday morning, we left for Fairfield. We finally got there at 12:15. I started kicking the ball around with my friends until my coach got there. Once our coach got there, we started to get ready for our game.
    At one, we started our game against Fairfield. Either, we were not trying or our coach’s strategy wasn’t working because at halftime, we were down 5-0. After a bit of yelling and resting, we started the second half. The second half was better ending the game in a loss for us. Ever though we lost the game 6-4, we really kicked some butt in the second half. I didn’t care that we lost and I still don’t care because I was just glad to play soccer.

My Favorite Games

    Playing games is fun especially when you’re good at the games. Chess, Stratego, Clue, Munchkin, Castle Panic, Axis & Allies, Risk, and Starcraft 2 are my favorite games. I really like to play these games with my dad unless he is busy. My favorite games all include strategy.   
The definition of strategy is the art of deployed plans and maneuvers. This is why I love strategy. I like using my knowledge of plans and maneuvers to crush the opponents or opponents. If I use strategy correctly, I can beat almost anyone.
Let me talk to you about Clue, Stratego, and chess first. In Clue, you must find the murderer. In Stratego, you must find the enemy flag and capture it. In chess, you must kill the opponent’s queen. The strategy in these games would be to observe. When I play Clue, I watch the opponent and how they guess. If they repeated use something, then take note that that is probably a card that they have in their hands. In Stratego, you must watch to see where their strongest pieces are. In chess, you must watch how they move their pieces. They might move them in such a way that might let a bishop take you rook. (Bishop move diagonally and rooks move up and across.)
Munchkin & Castle Panic are next in line. In Munchkin, you must get to Level 10. In Castle Panic, you have a castle that you must protect from a horde of monsters. Now in these games, you must know the right time to backstab your friends. In Munchkin, let the player that is about to win get reduced to Level 1. In Castle Panic, let the troll destroy all the castles excluding yours.
The last set of games are Axis & Allies, Risk & Starcraft 2. Axis and Allies is set in World War II with the Allied troops fighting Germany and Japan. In Risk, you must fight for the face of Europe. In Starcraft 2, you are in the year 2500. In it, you must destroy the evil Zerg. In these games, I  build efficient troops and I harass their weaknesses. In Axis & Allies, you must get planes and soldiers.  In Risk you must use your abilities to the best you can. In Starcraft 2 you must harass their weaknesses.
All of the games that I like include strategic planning. I love strategy because it causes you to think and it is fun when you beat your opponent with strategy. If you haven’t played any strategy games, then I strongly recommended playing some.
