My best friend

The first thing about my best friend that you would notice is that he is very quiet. He is very wise. He seldom speaks and when he does people listen. He has an opinon about everything although he very rarely shares it. He is a short guy and is very fit although you couldn't tell it by looking at him.

My friend is definately an introvert. He likes keeping to himself and is very shy. He is an upright guy and has strong morals. His opinon is usually valued. He is also a smaller guy but that doesn't seem to have stopped him at all. He is a great guy, and has a great sense of humor. I've known him for my whole life and he is as close to me as a brother. His name is Jaymeson Mallory

Fishing


I grew up in the black hills at a place called Summit Lake. When I was younger every Saturday I would go fishing with my daddy very early in the mroning. We would get up, put on warm clothes, rubber boots and what I remember to be very cozy hats. Once we were dressed we would walk out to the lake and get our gear ready and in the boat. Then we would start up the 2.5 horse trolling motor and cast off.


Sometimes we would fish from the banks of the in the middle of the lake. Other times we would just troll for hours. There was one place at the far end of the lake that was full of stick thick mud on the bottom. This was my favorite place to fish because the lake was shallow here so the water was warm, sometimes I would spend more time swimming thatn fishing. To this day I love to fish.

Treasure Island - Irony

I think that the major literary element of Treasure Island is irony. Throughout the novel there have been many seperate instances in which the author, Robert Louis Stevenson, has used irony to give the book surprising twists or enexpected events. The type of Irony that seems to be most prevelant in this novel is situational irony.

I think Robert Louis Stevenson used irony to give the reader a more enjoyable experience reading the book. Another reason he might have used irony is to give the book more appeal to a lager audience. A person that reads a book and then tells a friend that the book has some crazy twists in it is probably leading to the friend reading the book. Over all I have enjoyed this book.
