September 28 Prewrite //Boy of The Painted Cave 1.//I am good at Football. 2.I feel happy because im able to do the thing im good at. 3.I would feel sad since football is my favorite thing to do. October 3 2006 Chapter 1. One problem is that the wolf dog wont eat any food but he is starving and needs the food. Also Tao wants to be a cave painter but in his tribe it is taboo. Another problem is that the tribe leader is mad at Tao. I predict that later in the story the wolf dog may have a disease or something and they cure him and he eats again. For the next one i think that they will start liking cave painting and it will not be taboo anymore. And last I think that the tribe leader Volt will not be angry at him anymore. Chapter 2. Tao needed to find food because he didnt eat since the morning.Now it has been two days without food.Their was a howl near the stream and Tao thinks it is an evil spirit coming after him. October 6 Tao and the wolf dog learned to hunt together. Volt told Tao that if he hunts with the wolfdog then he will be able to catch more food for the clan. I think that Tao should hunt with the wolfdog because if he does he will get more food.Also Tao should not be judged just because of his deformed foot.Also i think that Tao should be like more of my other hunters but he can use that dog.Another thing is that he should hunt with the other hunters and bring back almost twice as much food.

Cabrera, Andrew Per.4/5 Ashoka’s Rule                                                                    Long ago there was a family named the Mauryas. The Mauryan family had a mighty empire called the Mauryan Empire. There was a man named Ashoka, Ashoka was the King, and he was also part of the mauryan family. During Ashokas rule he did a lot of the things a big thing was that his army fought in a big battle, another big thing was when he became a Buddhist, and the last thing I will tell you is when he was a mighty conqueror. I will be telling you about all of these amazing things that KingAshoka did. Also Ashoka ruled the Mauryan Empire. And of course Ashoka was a great leader. When ashoka was king the empire was at its height. Ashoka was very violent, and he fought many battles. Ashoka’s empire was at the height of its glory when Ashoka was the king. Ashoka’s empire was great, they conquered many lands and beat many other empires leaving them to be one of the most dominate. They were the best until one battle that battle was insane it was a huge battle and bloody battle many soldiers died fighting in that battle. It was the biggest battle for the maurays, and at the end of the vicious battle Ashoka saw all the wounded, and dead men. After that battle Ashoka made a big change in his life. After the brutal battle the change Ashoka made in his life was…he became a Buddhist! Becoming a Buddhist was one of the biggest changes in his life. Being a Buddhist was actually kind of good for him because he became peaceful and nice. When he became a Buddhist he really changed his way of life. When Ashoka changed to a Buddhist he did very different things. Ashoka also turned to a vegetarian and he gave up hunting. He pretty much changed his whole life style. He spread the Buddhist ways by putting the ways on pillars, because he would put inscriptions on the pillars. Also he persuaded everyone to join him in becoming a Buddhist. When he became a Buddhist he also gave up his quest to conquer the lands. So I have just told you the huge change King Ashoka made in his life. I will now be telling you what King Ashoka did before he changed to a Buddhist. Before Ashoka made a big change in his life he was a mighty conqueror, and his army was almost unstoppable. He conquerored many lands.
