Friendship and Determination
Nick S.
Theme
My theme was with hard work, determination, and good friends, anything is possible because I was determined to work hard and along with my good friends, we completed our task. After this event in my life, I've became more optimistic in risky situitations. This situation has changed how I act because i've realized that everyone deserves a good friend.
Emma Parson
Emma Parson is my friend from Carlisle, and Josie's best friend. Emma is a caring, fun-loving, and hard working individual, making her an important person for this job. Emma stuck with Josie, Trevor and I throughout the full time, even when everyone else quit. For the shed, Emma wore a creepy gown and chased people throughout the shed.
Josie Nordhegen
Josie is another one of my friends from Carlisle. Josie is a natural born leader, she has a determined, take charge kind of personality. The Carlisle track also happens to be Josie's home, giving her a complete knowledge of the locations of decorations. Josie and I also convinced Emma and Trevor to stick with us throughout the hard time. Josie helped Emma by following people around to scare them.
Trevor Valentine
Trevor is my friend from Indianola. Trevor is a determined, strong, fun person. Because Trevor was the strongest person who stuck around, making him very valuable while constructing the haunted shed. Because Trevor doesn't like costumes, he hid under the boat and grabbed peoples' feet.
Setting
This event took place at the IATVHSS track in Carlisle, Iowa. This place is important to the theme because this is where we decorated the shed. We also wouldn't have been to decorate the shed if it hadn't been Josie's house, making this particular setting very important.
Secondary Setting
Another important place in this story is Josie's House. We did everything from brainstorm to eat at her house, making it an important place in the story. We used her PC system to create, and print off the flyers. We used pantry to fuel our brilliant young minds. We used almost every aspect off that house to our advantage.
Plot
1.The Bright Idea
In the beginning, we all set our goal to create the best haunted shed ever. We created flyers and hung them around, as well as started gathering decorations
2.Hope Begins to Dwindle
About halfway through the day, almost everyone gave up, leaving Josie, Emma, Trevor and I with all the work. We managed to make slow progress, but opening time was dwindling close and we were behind schedule.
3.Our Saviors Return
Finally, about 10 minuets before opening time, the rest of the kids, and a few adults, came back and helped us quickly finish the construction and we were in bussiness
Climax
The climax of the story is when the rest of the kids and adults return to help us finish the shed and open the doors to the public.
