HeartBeat by Sharon Creech

I recently read a book called HeartBeat by Sharon Creech. The book was about a 12 year old girl who is learnig to deal with change no matter how hard it may be. I really like the way the author wrote the book. She used a method called free verse. It not only helps the book go by faster but it also helps me understand it better. Over all I liked the book alot it shows you how one small thing can help you to undertand the more important things in life. The mood of this book was very melow. Annie was the girls name and she was a runner. Her art teacher asked her to draw in apple one hundred times but each time the apple had to look different. As the apple stared to change she slowly started noticing chang in her mother, her aging grandfather, and her best freind max. In the end she learned to deal with it all.

Athletic

I am Ariana and an adjective that best describes me is athletic. Every year since first grade I have participated in a sport. I started out with dance and then moved my way to things like soccer and track, and now I am on the competition cheerleading team. When I was taking dance class I took tap, ballet, and hip-hop. I didn’t do hip-hop or tap for very long but I did take ballet for about six years. I started soccer soon after which lasted for about 3 years, I did track for only two years but it was fun while it lasted. Now I am on the competition cheerleading team for my first year and so far it has been really fun.
