I was nervous about my first day of school, but I was confident about passing the Chinese test. I liked to relax and read interesting chapter books, but I hated to drink warm water. I didn’t believe in Santa Claus with the glowing red hat and long white beard, but I believed that a day is determined by what you do and think. ** Now ** I want to be able to comb my hair so that it does not stay up, but I don’t want to have anything stolen from me. I am not afraid of being unaccompanied or left out, but I am afraid of hurting someone’s feelings. I love to sip freezing cold drinks, but I don’t like //nuts.// I don’t believe in thinking only for myself, but I do believe that what you do to other people will be done to you. ** In the Future ** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">I will always want to take caution in what I do every single day, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">but I won’t ever want a //dog// as a pet, large or small ,short or tall. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">I am determined not to be afraid of dying, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">but I will be afraid of getting too feeble. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">I will be downcast about getting old and fragile, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">but I will be happy if I become an inventor. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">I won’t believe the world will ever be coming to a finish, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold'; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">but I am bound to believe in miracles. Two best poems: Green

A sweet leaf fluttering down from a giant Oak.

A touch of the cold water on the beach of the Pacific Ocean in a vicious storm.

The soft comfortable layer of grass in my garden.

The sweetness of the delicate peas on the dinner plate.

The airplane soaring in the blue sky.

The car I always see in the parking lot.

The slippery moss at the side of the river.

The book that sits thoughtfully on the bookshelf.

The big lizard slithering along.

Haikus Flower

The great white flower

Like the pale setting sun

Eaten by the bird

Rainbow

A great long rainbow

Shining with many colors

On a rainy day

Moon

A slim long crescent

Glowing in the dark night sky

Goes down when it’s day

Freak the Mighty project Max By: Daniel Hallman

Beginning //I never had a brain until Freak came along//

I’m nothing I’m a butthead I’m kicker I’m the guy that’s drooling on the bed My body grows faster than my brain I’m dumb I never listen to instructions I don’t like taking orders I cannot make my own choices I talk with my fists and feet I’m slow I’m lazy I’m in L.D class I’m weak I believe everyone is annoying My head is vacant I’m non-social I hate learning I’m nothing I can do nothing I feel useless I’m a problem I’m nobody

Middle I’m max I’m a horse I rely on everyone else I go my own way I let Freak do the work Freak is my only friend I’m an adventurer Sometimes I’m freak the mighty I can judge people I have feelings I listen carefully I think I’m dumb I’m big I cannot decide what to do by myself I’m Max, a random person.

End

I’m Freak the mighty I’m energetic I’m active I’m strong I’m brave I’m loyal I have responsibilities I can recognize the right as the right and the wrong as the wrong I can understand feelings I know people can change I care about people I am smart I can read, I can write I stand up for people I’m freak the mighty I’m the Max that reveals his true form. I have a brain

Brian By: Daniel Hallman

Beginning I feel sad I feel useless I’m nothing but feelings fighting against thoughts I’m a jumble All I have is a stupid hatchet I feel desperate I can’t do it I fail I have good ideas but they never work I don’t know what I am doing; I cannot control myself

Middle I can understand things I have time to think and to know what I am doing I’m a lot more skillful Sometimes, I feel help-less Sometimes, I cry My good ideas are starting to work out I am thinking a lot deeper I am braver I am exploring new techniques

End I survived I am smarter than I think I know what I am going to do before I do it My plans work out at the end I realized that feelings drive you forward I find out that knowledge is important but finding things out from your mistakes are even more vital.

Max and Brian from “the third eye” By: Daniel Hallman

The third eye sees that Max and Brian both are similar in the two stories Hatchet and Freak the Mighty.

The third eye sees that both Max and Brian at the beginnings of the two stories both thought that they were helpless and couldn’t do anything to help themselves or others.

The third eye sees that both Max and Brian at the beginnings of the two stories both couldn’t control them selves.

The third eye notices that both Max and Brian improve and have a better self image in the middle of the stories.

The third eye is aware of the fact that Max and Brian at the end of the stories realize that they are smarter than they think.

The third eye sees that **anything is possible**.
