Although not everybody would agree, I want to argue that children should be spies.  I have several reasons for arguing this point of view. I will detail these reasons in the next few paragraphs.
My first reason is that children can fit into small places that adults cannot fit. Since children are used to playing games hiding, they would likely be very good at it.
Another argument in support of my position is that children would not be generally associated with spying since most spies are adults.  Children by their nature are very innocent, so people would not suspect them to be spies.
Furthermore allowing children to be spies would help out families with little or no money by paying the kids doing the jobs.  Also, since they so young they can train and work for a longer period of time then adults starting spying in their 20s, 30s or 40s.
In conclusion even though some people might argue that children should not be spies, I think I have made some valid arguments that children would make great spies.

Yesterday April the 25th at 4:30 pm there was a cock fight down on main street London England. Sir Philip’s undefeated roster was fighting Shakespeare’s roster. But this was not just any regular fight this was a fight for the championship trophy. Sir Philip’s roster was the favourite going into the fight and at the start of the fight it looked like he would be undefeated once again but Shakespear’s roster hung in there and ended up wining in the 2nd round and ended up killing sir Philips roster.

It was a very good fight many said but sir Philip had something else to say.  "Shakespear’s roster is on steroids there is no way he could have killed my roster with out cheating."

The next cock fight is in 2 months when Shakespear’s champion roster will take on sir Philips other roster witch has not fought in a fight yet.

Cock Fighting Upset.

Chapter 1






Pike: (road) or toll road, a course in which fees are collected. Sometimes a historical name of what once was a toll road.






Peat: or turf, is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation matter or histosol. Peat forms in wetland bogs, moors, muskegs, pocosins, mires, and peat swamp forests. Peat is harvested as an important source of fuel in certain parts of the world. By volume, there are about 4 trillion m³ of peat in the world covering a total of around 2% of global land area (about 3 million km²), containing about 8 billion terajoules of energy.[1]

Beadle: sometimes spelled "bedel," is a lay official of a church or synagogue who may usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a minor official who carries out various civil, educational, or ceremonial duties










Granite: (pronounced /ˈɡrænɨt/) is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock. Granites usually have a medium- to coarse-grained texture. Occasionally some individual crystals (phenocrysts) are larger than the groundmass, in which case the texture is known as porphyritic. A granitic rock with a porphyritic texture is sometimes known as a porphyry. Granites can be pink to gray in color, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. By definition, granite is an igneous rock with at least 20% quartz by volume. Granite differs from granodiorite in that at least 35% of the feldspar in granite is alkali feldspar as opposed to plagioclase; it is the alkali feldspar that gives many granites a distinctive pink color. Outcrops of granite tend to form tors and rounded massifs. Granites sometimes occur in circular depressions surrounded by a range of hills, formed by the metamorphic aureole or hornfels. Granite is usually found in the continental plates of the Earth's crust.






Inheritance: is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual. It has long played an important role in human societies. The rules of inheritance differ between societies and have changed over time.






A livery: (pronounced /ˈlɪvᵊri/) is a uniform—or other insignia or symbol—adorning, in a non-military context, a person or an object or a vehicle in order to denote a relationship between the wearer of the livery and an individual or corporate body. Often, elements of the heraldry relating to the individual or corporate body feature in the livery. Alternatively, some kind of a personal emblem or badge, or a distinctive colour, is featured.

why i picked my book

I started reading harry potter and I did not realy like it so I tried to find an easy to read book that would be interesting so I ened up with my book and it was very good.

I had a lot of questions going through my head as I read the book.  Some of my questions have been answered as I keep reading.  Some of my questions have not. My questions are the following; “Is James’s dad alive?”, “How will their families react when they find out they are back at ground zero?”, “How long will they stay at ground zero?”, “If they find James’s dad, how will he look?”, “Will they get caught at ground zero?”,and “Will Will’s Father find his coworkers and will he find a new office?” Those are just some of the many questions going through my head while reading this awesome book.

I thought there were a few parts of the book that were very well written.  For instance when Will and James went to ground zero and they where describing it and they were talking about how it was like a movie. I could really picture what it looked like based on Will and James’s conversation. Another really well written and described part of the book was when Will and his father were explaining their descent down the tower. They described it so well I could really picture what was happening. They described the one part where the planes hit as, “hell”.  I can only imagine what people went through on those floors. My favourite quotation from the book was at the end when Will says, “united we stand,” which is the title of the book. I thought it really summed up what happened throughout the book and on that terrible day September 11, 2001
